传给亚哈斯王的信息

乌西雅的孙子,约坦的儿子,犹大亚哈斯在位的时候,亚兰利汛利玛利的儿子以色列比加上来攻打耶路撒冷,却不能攻取。 有人告诉大卫家说:“亚兰以法莲已经结盟。”王的心和百姓的心就都颤动,好像林中的树被风吹动一样。

耶和华对以赛亚说:“你和你的儿子施亚‧雅述[a]要出去,到上池的水沟尽头,往漂布地的大路上,迎见亚哈斯 对他说:‘你要谨慎,要镇定,不要害怕,不要因利汛亚兰,以及利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟火把的头所发的烈怒而心里胆怯。 因为亚兰以法莲,和利玛利的儿子设恶谋要害你,说: 我们要上去攻击犹大,扰乱它,攻破它来归我们,在其中立他比勒的儿子为王。 主耶和华如此说:

这事必站立不住,
也不得成就。
因为亚兰的首都是大马士革
大马士革的领袖是利汛
六十五年之内,以法莲必然国破族亡,
以法莲的首都是撒玛利亚
撒玛利亚的领袖是利玛利的儿子。
你们若是不信,
必站立不稳。’”

以马内利的记号

10 耶和华又吩咐亚哈斯 11 “你向耶和华—你的 神求一个预兆:在阴间的深渊,或往上的高处。” 12 亚哈斯说:“我不求;我不试探耶和华。” 13 以赛亚说:“听啊,大卫家!你们使人厌烦岂算小事,还要使我的 神厌烦吗? 14 因此,主自己要给你们一个预兆,看哪,必有童女怀孕生子,给他起名叫以马内利[b] 15 到他晓得弃恶择善的时候,他必吃乳酪与蜂蜜。 16 因为在这孩子还不晓得弃恶择善之先,你所憎恶的那两个王的土地必被撇弃。 17 耶和华必使亚述王临到你和你的百姓,并你的父家,自从以法莲脱离犹大的时候,未曾有过这样的日子。

18 “那时,耶和华要呼叫,召来埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂; 19 它们都必飞来,停在陡峭的谷中、岩石缝里、一切荆棘丛中和片片草场上。

20 “那时,主必用大河外雇来的剃头刀,就是亚述王,剃去你的头发和脚毛,并要剃净你的胡须。

21 “那时,每一个人要养活一头母牛犊和两只母羊; 22 因为奶量充足,他就有乳酪可吃,国内剩余的人也都能吃乳酪与蜂蜜。

23 “那时,凡种一千棵葡萄树、价值一千银子的地方,必长出荆棘和蒺藜。 24 人到那里去,必带弓箭,因为遍地长满了荆棘和蒺藜。 25 所有锄头刨过的山地,你因惧怕荆棘和蒺藜,不敢到那里去;只能作放牛之处,羊群践踏之地。”

给亚哈斯王的信息

乌西雅的孙子、约坦的儿子亚哈斯做犹大王时,亚兰王利迅和利玛利的儿子以色列王比加来攻打耶路撒冷,却无法攻破。 亚兰和以色列结盟的消息传到犹大王那里,举国上下都吓得胆战心惊,好像林中被风吹动的树木。 耶和华对以赛亚说:“你带着儿子施亚雅述出去,到上池水沟的尽头——通往漂布场的路上迎见亚哈斯, 告诉他要谨慎镇定,不要害怕,不要因亚兰王利迅和利玛利的儿子的怒气而胆怯,他们不过是两个冒烟的火把头。 亚兰王和以法莲及利玛利的儿子阴谋毁灭他, 企图攻打并瓜分犹大,改立他比勒的儿子为王。 但主耶和华说,

“‘这阴谋必无法得逞。
亚兰的都城是大马士革,
大马士革的首领是利迅。
六十五年之内,
以色列必亡国。
以色列的都城是撒玛利亚,
撒玛利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子。
你们信心若不坚定,
必无法坚立。’”

10 耶和华又对亚哈斯说: 11 “向你的上帝耶和华求个征兆吧,或显在天上,或显在阴间。” 12 但亚哈斯说:“我不求,我不要试探耶和华。” 13 以赛亚说:“大卫的子孙啊,你们听着!你们使人厌烦还不够吗?还要使我的上帝厌烦吗? 14 所以,主会亲自给你们一个征兆,必有童贞女[a]怀孕生子并给祂取名叫以马内利[b] 15 他将吃奶酪和蜂蜜,一直到他能明辨是非。 16 然而,在他能明辨是非之前,你所惧怕的这二王的国土必荒废。

17 “之后,耶和华必让亚述王来攻击你们。这是你全家及你的人民自以色列与犹大分裂以来从未有的日子。 18 那时,耶和华的哨声一响,埃及的大军必像苍蝇一样从遥远的尼罗河飞扑而来,亚述的人马必如黄蜂一样蜂拥而至, 19 遍布险峻的山谷、岩穴、一切荆棘丛和草场。 20 那时,主必使用幼发拉底河对岸的亚述王来毁灭你们,就像用租来的剃刀剃光你们的头发、胡须和身上的汗毛。

21 “那时,一个人将养活一头母牛和两只羊。 22 因出产的奶丰富,他就有奶酪吃,境内剩下的人都将吃奶酪和蜂蜜。 23 那时,本来有千株葡萄、价值千金的园子必长满荆棘和蒺藜, 24 人们必带着弓箭去打猎,因为遍地长满了荆棘和蒺藜。 25 你因惧怕荆棘和蒺藜,将不再去从前用锄头开垦的山地,那里将成为牧放牛羊的地方。”

Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz(A)

Now it came to pass in the days of (B)Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against (C)it, but could not [a]prevail against it. And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria’s forces are [b]deployed in Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and [c]Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field, and say to him: [d]‘Take heed, and [e]be (D)quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah. Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying, “Let us go up against Judah and [f]trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”— thus says the Lord God:

(E)“It shall not stand,
Nor shall it come to pass.
(F)For the head of Syria is Damascus,
And the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be [g]broken,
So that it will not be a people.
The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.
(G)If you will not believe,
Surely you shall not be established.” ’ ”

The Immanuel Prophecy

10 Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 (H)“Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; [h]ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”

12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test 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 will give you a sign: (I)Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear (J)a Son, and shall call His name (K)Immanuel.[i] 15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 (L)For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by (M)both her kings. 17 (N)The Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that (O)Ephraim departed from Judah.”

18 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord (P)will whistle for the fly
That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,
And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 They will come, and all of them will rest
In the desolate valleys and in (Q)the clefts of the rocks,
And on all thorns and in all pastures.

20 In the same day the Lord will shave with a (R)hired (S)razor,
With those from beyond [j]the River, with the king of Assyria,
The head and the hair of the legs,
And will also remove the beard.

21 It shall be in that day
That a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;
22 So it shall be, from the abundance of milk they give,
That he will eat curds;
For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.

23 It shall happen in that day,
That wherever there could be a thousand vines
Worth a thousand shekels of silver,
(T)It will be for briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and bows men will come there,
Because all the land will become briers and thorns.

25 And to any hill which could be dug with the hoe,
You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns;
But it will become a range for oxen
And a place for sheep to roam.
