Isaia 7

1 I KE kau ia Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka, ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e ia Ierusalema, kaua mai, aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke lanakila maluna o ia wahi.

And it came to pass in the days of Achaz [the son] of Joatham, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, there came up Rasim king of Aram, and Phakee son of Romelias, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not take it.

2 A haiia mai la i ko ka hale o Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ke hoomoana nei ko Suria maloko o ko Eperaima. Alaila, haalulu ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o kona poo kanaka, o like me ka haalulu ana o na laau o ka ululaau imua o ka makani.

And a message was brought to the house of David, saying, Aram has conspired with Ephraim. And his soul was amazed, and the soul of his people, as in a wood a tree is moved by the wind.

3 I mai la o Iehova ia Isaia, O hele, ano, e halawai me Ahaza, o oe, a me Seariasuba, kau keiki, ma ka welau o ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai ke kula holoi lole;

And the Lord said to Esaias, Go forth to meet Achaz, thou, and thy son Jasub who is left, to the pool of the upper way of the fuller's field.

4 A e i aku oe ia ia, E ao oe, e noho malie; Mai makau hoi, mai maule kou naau, No na welowelo alua o keia mau momoku ahi, O ka huhu o Rezina, a me ko Suria, a me ko keiki a Remalia.

And thou shalt say to him, Take care to be quiet, and fear not, neither let thy soul be disheartened because of these two smoking firebrands: for when my fierce anger is over, I will heal again.

5 No ka imi hala o ko Suria ia oe, A me Eperaima, a me ke keiki a Remalia, i ka i ana ae,

And [as for] the son of Aram, and the son of Romelias, forasmuch as they have devised an evil counsel, [saying],

6 E pii ku e kakou i ka Iuda, e hoopilikia aku hoi, A e mahele ia wahi no kakou, A e hoonoho i ke keiki a Tabeala, i alii maloko ona.

We will go up against Judea, and having conferred with them we will turn them away to our side, and we will make the son of Tabeel king of it;

7 Ke i mai nei ka Haku, o Iehova penei, Aole e ku keia, aole ia e hanaia.

thus saith the Lord of hosts, This counsel shall not abide, nor come to pass.

8 O ke poo o Suria, o Damaseko ia, A o ke poo o Damaseko, o Rezina no; He kanaonokumamalima makahiki i koe, Alaila, kahuli o Eperaima, a lilo i aupuni ole.

But the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rasim; and yet within sixty and five years the kingdom of Ephraim shall cease from [being] a people.

9 O Samaria no ke poo o Eperaima, A o ke poo hoi o Samaria, oia ke keiki a Remalia. I ole oukou e manaoio i keia, aole oukou e malu.

And the head of Ephraim is Somoron, and the head of Somoron the son of Romelias: but if ye believe not, neither will ye at all understand.

10 Olelo hou mai o Iehova ia Ahaza, i mai la,

And the Lord again spoke to Achaz, saying,

11 E nonoi oe i hoailona nou, mai Iehova, mai kou Akua mai; E nonoi ma ka hohonu, a ma kahi kiekie paha. (Sheol h7585)

Ask for thyself a sign of the Lord thy God, in the depth or in the height. (Sheol h7585)

12 I aku la o Ahaza, Aole au e nonoi, Aole hoi au e aa aku ia Iehova.

And Achaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 Alaila, i mai la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e ka ohana a Davida, He mea uuku anei ia oukou ke hoopaupauaho i kanaka? E hoopaupauaho pu anei oukou i ko'u Akua?

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a little thing for you to contend with men? and how do ye contend against the Lord?

14 Nolaila, na ka Haku ponoi no e haawi mai ia oukou i hoailona; Aia hoi! e hapai ana no kekahi wahine puupaa, A e hanau mai hoi ia i keiki, A e kapa aku no oia i kona inoa, o IMANUELA.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel.

15 O ka waiu paa a me ka mele kana e ai ai, A ike oia i ka hoole i ka hewa, a e koho hoi i ka pono.

Butter and honey shall he eat, before he knows either to prefer evil [or] choose the good.

16 No ka mea, mamua o ka ike ana o ke keiki e hoole i ka hewa, A e koho hoi i ka pono, E neoneo e no ka aina o ua mau alii la elua au e makau nei.

For before the child shall know good or evil, he refuses evil, to choose the good; and the land shall be forsaken which thou art afraid of because of the two kings.

17 Na Iehova no e hoopuka mai maluna ou, A maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka, A maluna o ka hale o kou makuakane, I na la i hiki ole mai ai mamua, Mai ka wa mai o ko Eperaima haalele ana i ka Iuda; I ke alii no Asuria.

But God shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have never come, from the day that Ephraim took away from Juda the king of the Assyrians.

18 A hiki aku i kela la, Na Iehova no e pio aku i ka nalo, E noho ana ma na welau o na muliwai o Aigupita, A i ka nalo-hope-eha, ma ka aina o Asuria;

And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the flies, which [insect] shall rule over a part of the river of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.

19 A e hele mai hoi lakou, a e kau mai lakou a pau, Ma na kahawai olohelohe, a ma na lua o na pohaku, A ma ka nahele ooi a pau, A ma na kula holoholona a pau.

And they all shall enter into the clefts of the land, and into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every ravine.

20 Ia la la, na ka Haku no e kahi, me ka pahi-kahi i hoolimalimaia, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, Me ke alii hoi o Asuria, I ke poo, a me ke oho o na kapuwai; A e kahiia no hoi ka umiumi.

In that day the Lord shall shave with the hired razor of the king of Assyria beyond the river the head, and the hairs of the feet, and will remove the beard.

21 A hiki aku i kela la, E hanai no ke kanaka i ka bipi ohi, a me na hipa elua;

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall rear a heifer, and two sheep.

22 A no ka nui loa mai o ka waiu, E ai no ia i ka waiupaa; E ai io no i ka waiupaa a me ka meli, O ka poe a pau i koe ma ka aina.

And it shall come to pass from their drinking an abundance of milk, [that] every one that is left on the land shall eat butter and honey.

23 A hiki aku i kela la, O kahi a pau i ulu ai na kumuwaina, he tausani, I kuaiia no na hapalua he tausani, E paapu ia wahi i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [for] every place where there shall be a thousand vines at a thousand shekels, they shall become barren land and thorns.

24 Me na pua a me na kakaka lakou e hele ai ilaila, No ka mea, e nahelehele ana no ka aina a pau, I ka laau kalakala a me ka nahele ooi.

[Men] shall enter thither with arrow and bow; for all the land shall be [barren] ground and thorns.

25 Ma na mauna a pau i olaolaoia i ka oo, Aohe mea hele ilaila, No ka makau i ka laau kalakala, a me ka nahele ooi: He wahi ia e hoouna aku ai i ka bipi, He wahi hoi e hahi ai na hipa.

And every mountain shall be certainly ploughed: there shall no fear come thither: for there shall be from [among] the [barren] ground and thorns that whereon cattle shall feed and oxen shall tread.
