以賽亞書 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
給亞哈斯王的信息
7 烏西雅的孫子、約坦的兒子亞哈斯做猶大王時,亞蘭王利迅和利瑪利的兒子以色列王比加來攻打耶路撒冷,卻無法攻破。 2 亞蘭和以色列結盟的消息傳到猶大王那裡,舉國上下都嚇得膽戰心驚,好像林中被風吹動的樹木。 3 耶和華對以賽亞說:「你帶著兒子施亞雅述出去,到上池水溝的盡頭——通往漂布場的路上迎見亞哈斯, 4 告訴他要謹慎鎮定,不要害怕,不要因亞蘭王利迅和利瑪利的兒子的怒氣而膽怯,他們不過是兩個冒煙的火把頭。 5 亞蘭王和以法蓮及利瑪利的兒子陰謀毀滅他, 6 企圖攻打並瓜分猶大,改立他比勒的兒子為王。 7 但主耶和華說,
『這陰謀必無法得逞。
8 亞蘭的都城是大馬士革,
大馬士革的首領是利迅。
六十五年之內,
以色列必亡國。
9 以色列的都城是撒瑪利亞,
撒瑪利亞的首領是利瑪利的兒子。
你們信心若不堅定,
必無法堅立。』」
10 耶和華又對亞哈斯說: 11 「向你的上帝耶和華求個徵兆吧,或顯在天上,或顯在陰間。」 12 但亞哈斯說:「我不求,我不要試探耶和華。」 13 以賽亞說:「大衛的子孫啊,你們聽著!你們使人厭煩還不夠嗎?還要使我的上帝厭煩嗎? 14 所以,主會親自給你們一個徵兆,必有童貞女[a]懷孕生子並給祂取名叫以馬內利[b]。 15 他將吃乳酪和蜂蜜,一直到他能明辨是非。 16 然而,在他能明辨是非之前,你所懼怕的這二王的國土必荒廢。
17 「之後,耶和華必讓亞述王來攻擊你們。這是你全家及你的人民自以色列與猶大分裂以來從未有的日子。 18 那時,耶和華的哨聲一響,埃及的大軍必像蒼蠅一樣從遙遠的尼羅河飛撲而來,亞述的人馬必如黃蜂一樣蜂擁而至, 19 遍佈險峻的山谷、岩穴、一切荊棘叢和草場。 20 那時,主必使用幼發拉底河對岸的亞述王來毀滅你們,就像用租來的剃刀剃光你們的頭髮、鬍鬚和身上的汗毛。
21 「那時,一個人將養活一頭母牛和兩隻羊。 22 因出產的奶豐富,他就有乳酪吃,境內剩下的人都將吃乳酪和蜂蜜。 23 那時,本來有千株葡萄、價值千金的園子必長滿荊棘和蒺藜, 24 人們必帶著弓箭去打獵,因為遍地長滿了荊棘和蒺藜。 25 你因懼怕荊棘和蒺藜,將不再去從前用鋤頭開墾的山地,那裡將成為牧放牛羊的地方。」
Isaiah 7
Modern English Version
Isaiah Reassures King Ahaz
7 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 It was said to the house of David, “Aram is allied with Ephraim.” Then his heart trembled and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood tremble with the wind.
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field, 4 and say to him, Take heed, and be quiet. Do not fear nor be fainthearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin with Aram and of the son of Remaliah, 5 because Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have taken evil counsel against you, saying, 6 Let us go up against Judah, and trouble it, and let us make a breach there for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel. 7 Thus says the Lord God:
It shall not stand,
nor shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Now within sixty-five years
Ephraim shall be broken so that it is not a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.
If you will not believe,
surely you shall not be established.
The Sign of Immanuel
10 Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying: 11 Ask for a sign from the Lord your God. Make it either as deep as Sheol or as high as heaven.
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt the Lord.
13 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David. Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: The virgin[a] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.[b] 15 Curds and honey he shall eat at the time that he knows enough to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread shall be forsaken of both her kings. 17 The Lord shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon your father’s house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.”
18 In that day the Lord shall whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 They shall come, and all of them shall rest in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorns, and on all bushes. 20 In that same day the Lord shall shave with a hired razor, from regions beyond the River,[c] with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the legs, and it shall also remove the beard. 21 In that day a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep, 22 and because of the abundance of milk that they give, he shall eat curds; for everyone who is left in the land shall eat curds and honey. 23 In that day every place where there were a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels[d] of silver, shall become briers and thorns. 24 With arrows and with bows shall men come there because all the land shall become briers and thorns. 25 On all hills that used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briers and thorns. But it shall be for pasturing oxen and for sheep to tread.

Isaiah 7
New International Version
The Sign of Immanuel
7 When Ahaz(A) son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezin(B) of Aram(C) and Pekah(D) son of Remaliah(E) king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it.
2 Now the house of David(F) was told, “Aram has allied itself with[a] Ephraim(G)”; so the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken,(H) as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub,[b](I) to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.(J) 4 Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm(K) and don’t be afraid.(L) Do not lose heart(M) because of these two smoldering stubs(N) of firewood—because of the fierce anger(O) of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.(P) 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s(Q) son have plotted(R) your ruin, saying, 6 “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.” 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:(S)
“‘It will not take place,
it will not happen,(T)
8 for the head of Aram is Damascus,(U)
and the head of Damascus is only Rezin.(V)
Within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be too shattered(W) to be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,(X)
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son.
If you do not stand(Y) firm in your faith,(Z)
you will not stand at all.’”(AA)
10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 “Ask the Lord your God for a sign,(AB) whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.(AC)”
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.(AD)”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David!(AE) Is it not enough(AF) to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience(AG) of my God(AH) also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign:(AI) The virgin[d](AJ) will conceive and give birth to a son,(AK) and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f](AL) 15 He will be eating curds(AM) and honey(AN) when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16 for before the boy knows(AO) enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,(AP) the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.(AQ) 17 The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away(AR) from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.(AS)”
Assyria, the Lord’s Instrument
18 In that day(AT) the Lord will whistle(AU) for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.(AV) 19 They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices(AW) in the rocks, on all the thornbushes(AX) and at all the water holes. 20 In that day(AY) the Lord will use(AZ) a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River(BA)—the king of Assyria(BB)—to shave your head and private parts, and to cut off your beard(BC) also.(BD) 21 In that day,(BE) a person will keep alive a young cow and two goats.(BF) 22 And because of the abundance of the milk they give, there will be curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds(BG) and honey.(BH) 23 In that day,(BI) in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,[g](BJ) there will be only briers and thorns.(BK) 24 Hunters will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers(BL) and thorns. 25 As for all the hills(BM) once cultivated by the hoe, you will no longer go there for fear of the briers and thorns;(BN) they will become places where cattle are turned loose and where sheep run.(BO)

Isaias 7
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ang Mensahi para kay Haring Ahaz
7 Sang si Ahaz nga anak ni Jotam kag apo ni Uzia ang hari sang Juda, ginsalakay ang Jerusalem. Ang nagsalakay amo si Haring Rezin sang Aram[a] kag si Haring Peka sang Israel, nga anak ni Remalia. Pero wala nila maagaw ang Jerusalem.
2 Sang nabalitaan sang hari sang Juda[b] nga nag-isa ang Aram kag ang Israel,[c] nagkurog siya kag ang iya mga tawo sa kahadlok. Nagkulurog sila pareho sa mga kahoy nga ginauyog sang hangin.
3 Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Isaias, “Upda ang imo anak nga si Shear Jashub[d] kag sugataa ninyo si Ahaz sa may punta sang ililigan sang ibabaw nga punong, didto dampi sa dalan pakadto sa lugar nga ginapanglabhan. 4 Amo ini ang isiling mo sa iya, ‘Maghanda ka! Magkalma ka lang kag indi magkahadlok. Indi ka magpakulba tungod lang sa puwerte nga kaakig ni Haring Rezin sang Aram kag ni Haring Peka nga anak ni Remalia. Ini sila pareho lang sa duha ka tuod sang kahoy nga nagaaso pero wala sing kalayo. 5 Nagplano sila sa paglaglag sa imo. Nagsiling sila, 6 “Salakayon naton ang Juda kag pierdihon. Pamartidahon naton ang kadutaan sini kag himuon dayon naton nga hari didto ang anak ni Tabeel.”
7 “ ‘Pero nagasiling ang Ginoong Dios nga indi gid ini matabo. 8-9 Kay ang Damascus amo lang ang kapital sang Aram, kag si Rezin nagahari lang sa Damascus. Kag ang Samaria amo lang ang kapital sang Israel, kag si Peka nga anak ni Remalia nagahari[e] lang sa Samaria. Malaglag ang Israel sa sulod sang 65 ka tuig, gani indi na ini matawag nga isa ka nasyon. Kon indi malig-on ang inyo pagtuo malaglag gid kamo.’ ”
10 Karon, nagsiling liwat ang Ginoo kay Ahaz, 11 “Magpangayo ka sang tanda sa akon, ang Ginoo nga imo Dios, sa pagpamatuod nga tumanon ko ang akon promisa. Bisan pa maghalin man ini sa idalom, didto sa lugar sang mga patay, ukon sa ibabaw, didto sa langit.” 12 Nagsabat si Ahaz, “Indi ako magpangayo sang tanda. Indi ko pagtilawan ang Ginoo.”
13 Nagsiling si Isaias, “Pamati kamo, kaliwat ni David! Indi pa bala tuman ang pagpaugtas ninyo sa mga tawo? Kag karon ang akon Dios naman ang inyo ginapaugtas! 14 Gani ang Ginoo mismo ang maghatag sa inyo sang tanda. Kag amo ini ang tanda: Magabusong ang isa ka bataon nga babayi[f] kag magabata sing lalaki. Kag pagatawgon niya ang bata nga ‘Emmanuel.’[g] 15 Sa tion nga matubuan na sing buot ang bata, magakaon siya sing keso[h] kag dugos. 16 Pero antes siya matubuan sang buot, ang duta sang duha ka hari nga ginakahadlukan mo, Ahaz, malaglag kag pabay-an na lang. 17 Sa ulihi, ikaw kag ang imo katawhan, pati ang imo harianon nga pamilya, ipasalakay sang Ginoo sa hari sang Asiria. Kag maagihan ninyo ang kalisod nga wala pa ninyo maagihan halin sang nagseparar ang Israel sa Juda.
18 “Sa sina nga tion, magapanihol ang Ginoo sa pagtawag sa mga taga-Egipto kag taga-Asiria. Kag magaabot ang mga taga-Egipto nga daw sa mga langaw halin sa malayo nga mga suba sang Egipto, kag magaabot man ang mga taga-Asiria nga daw sa mga putyukan. 19 Magaabot ini sila kag magaestar sa bisan diin: sa madalom nga mga ililigan sang tubig, sa mga buho sang dalagko nga mga bato, sa tunukon nga mga kahoy-kahoy, kag sa mga palahalban.
20 “Sa sina nga tion, gamiton sang Ginoo ang hari sang Asiria sa paglaglag sing bug-os sa inyo duta. Pareho siya sa barbero nga halin sa tabok sang Suba sang Eufrates nga ginsuhulan sa pagkiskis sang inyo buhok, balahibo, kag pati sang inyo mga burangos.
21 “Sa sina nga tion, ang masagod sang mga tawo tig-isa lang ka bakiya nga baka kag duha ka kanding, 22 nga amo lang ang ila kuhaan sang ila gatas. Gatas kag dugos ang mangin pagkaon sang tanan nga mabilin sa Juda. 23 Sa sina man nga tion, ang talamnan sang ubas nga may 1,000 ka puno nga nagabili sing 1,000 ka pilak mapuno sang tunukon nga mga kahoy-kahoy kag mangin masiot na. 24 Magapangayam ang mga tawo didto dala ang ila mga pana kag bangkaw, tungod kay masiot na ini kag puno sang tunukon nga mga kahoy-kahoy. 25 Wala na sing may magkadto sa mga bukid didto nga sang una anay ginatamnan, tungod kay mangin masiot na ini kag puno sang tunukon nga mga kahoy-kahoy. Mangin palahalban na lang ini sang mga baka, karnero kag kanding.”
