Isaiah 7

1 Ke Tokosra Ahaz, wen natul Jotham ac nutin natul Uzziah, el leumi Judah, oasr sie mweun. Tokosra Rezin lun Syria, ac Tokosra Pekah, wen natul Remaliah lun Israel, elos tukeni som mweuni acn Jerusalem, tusruktu elos koflana sruokya.

And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over it.

2 Ke pweng uh sonol tokosra lun Judah lah un mwet mweun lun acn Syria elos sun tari acn Israel, el ac mwet lal nukewa arulana fosrngala, oru elos rarrar oana sak kusrusryak ke eng uh.

And they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

3 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Isaiah, “Eisal Shear Jashub, wen nutum, ac fahla sonol Tokosra Ahaz. Kom ac konalak ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk elos orekma we, ke saflaiyen laf in kof ma soror liki inlulu lucng ah me.

And the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, thou and Jasub thy son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool, a in the way of the fuller’s held.

4 Fahk nu sel elan akngusrikye, oakwuki na muta, ac tia sensen ku fohsak. Mulat lal Tokosra Rezin ac mwet Syria, oayapa Tokosra Pekah, oana wosr luo ma oanna fofosr — tiana mwe sensen.

And thou shalt say to him: See thou be quiet: fear not, and let not thy heart be afraid of the two tails of these fire brands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, and of the son of Romelia.

5 Mwet Syria, wi mwet Israel ac tokosra lalos, tukeni orala sie pwapa koluk.

Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:

6 Elos akola in mweuni Judah, ac aksangengye mwet we in welulosla lac, na elos ac akleumyauk wen se natul Tabeel elan tokosrala.

Let us go up to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof.

7 “Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fahkak lah ma se inge ac fah tiana sikyak.

Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.

8 Efu? Mweyen Syria el tia ku liki Damascus, siti lulap lal, ac Damascus el tia ku lukel Tokosra Rezin. Ac funu Israel, inmasrlon na yac onngoul limekosr ac fah arulana musalla acn we, tia sifil oaoa mu mutunfacl se pa el.

But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Basin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be a people:

9 Israel el tia ku liki Samaria, siti lulap lal, ac Samaria el tia pac ku lukel Tokosra Pekah. “Lulalfongi lowos fin tia oakwuki ku, kowos ac tia pac ku in okak.”

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.

10 LEUM GOD El supwala soko pac sap nu sel Ahaz,

And the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying:

11 ac fahk, “Siyuk sin LEUM GOD lom Elan sot sie akul nu sum — ac ku in tuku liki acn loal faclu in facl sin mwet misa, ku liki acn fulat lucng inkusrao.” (Sheol h7585)

Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. (Sheol h7585)

12 Na Ahaz el topuk, “Nga fah tiana siyuk ke sie mwe akul. Nga fah tiana srike LEUM GOD luk.”

And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.

13 Na Isaiah el fahk, “Inge porongeyu, kowos fwilin tulik natul David. Ma na koluk se ke kowos oru mwet uh in semutengla. Ya kowos ac oru God Elan semutengla pac?

And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also?

14 Leum sifacna El ac fah sot sie akul nu suwos. Sie mutan fusr su pitutu el ac fah oswela sie wen, ac sang inel ‘Immanuel.’

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.

15 Ke pacl se tulik sac matula, ac ku in sifacna sulela inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk, el ac fah nim milk ac mongo honey.

He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

16 Tusruktu meet liki pacl sacn, facl sin tokosra luo ma aksangengye kowos ingan ac fah wanginla mwet we.

For before the child know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, the land which thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face of her two kings.

17 “LEUM GOD El ac fah use nu fom, ac nu fin mwet lom ac nu fin sou in leum, len in ongoiya ma koluk liki na ma sikyak tukun pacl se tokosrai lun Israel sriyukla liki Judah — El ac fah use tokosra lun Assyria in lain kom.

The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days that have not come since the time of the separation of Ephraim from Juda with the king of the Assyrians.

18 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, LEUM GOD El ac osla nu sin mwet Egypt in tuku oana loang uh liki sungan infacl puspis yen loessula ke Infacl Nile, ac nu sin mwet Assyria in tuku liki facl selos oana loanginyeir uh.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 Elos ac osralik acn nukewa infahlfal uh ac ke luf inmasrlon eot uh, ac elos ac afunla sak nukewa oasr otoh kac oayapa sroan mah nukewa.

And they shall come, and shall all of them rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all places set with shrubs, and in all hollow places.

20 “Ke pacl sac, Leum El ac molema sie mwet kalkul lefahlo ke Infacl Euphrates — aok, tokosra fulat lun Assyria — su ac fah resaela alut lowos, aunsifowos ac monuwos nufon.

In that day the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.

21 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, finne cow fusr sokofanna ac nani lukwa nutin mwet ima se,

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep.

22 ac yolyak milk kaclos in akfalye enenu lal nukewa. Aok, mwet pu su painmoulla in facl sac fah oasr milk ac honey nalos.

And for the abundance of milk he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that shall be left in the midst of the land.

23 “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ima in grape wowo uh — kais sie ima inge oasr sie tausin oa in grape kac su molo oasr ke sie tausin ipin silver-ac fah kupoi ke kokul.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, at a thousand pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers.

24 Mwet uh ac us mwe pisr natulos ac som sruh kosro we. Aok, facl sac nufon ac fah nwanala ke mah kokul.

With arrows and with bows they shall go in thither: for briars and thorns shall be in all the land.

25 Inging nukewa ma tuh imaiyuk meet, ac kupoi ke kokul, pwanang wangin mwet ac sifil som nu we. Ac fah acn in na mongo lun cow ac sheep.”

And as for all the hills that shall be raked with a rake, the fear of thorns and briers shall not come thither, but they shall be for the ox to feed on, and the lesser cattle to tread upon.
