¹二王一同攻打耶路撒冷烏西雅的孫子、約坦的兒子猶大王亞哈斯在位的日子，亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子以色列王比加，上來攻打耶路撒冷，卻不能把它攻陷。

¹It happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

²有人告訴大衛家說：“亞蘭已經在以法蓮地安營。”王的心和人民的心就都震動，像林中的樹被風搖動一樣。

²It was told the house of David, saying, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.

³先知安慰亞哈斯耶和華對以賽亞說：“你和你的兒子施亞雅述出去，在上池的水溝盡頭，就是在漂布者田間的大路上，去迎接亞哈斯，

³Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.

⁴對他說：‘你要謹慎，要鎮定，不要因亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子這兩個冒煙的火把頭所發的怒氣而害怕，也不要心裡膽怯。

⁴Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

⁵因為亞蘭、以法蓮和利瑪利的兒子，設惡謀要害你，說：

⁵Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,

⁶“我們可以上去攻打猶大，擾亂她，把她攻佔過來，歸我們所有，又在其中立他比勒的兒子作王。”

⁶“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel.”

⁷因此，主耶和華這樣說：“這計謀必立不住，也不能成就，

⁷This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”

⁸因為亞蘭的首都是大馬士革，大馬士革的首領是利汛；六十五年之內，以法蓮必定毀滅，不再成為一族之民。

⁸For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;

⁹以法蓮的首都是撒瑪利亞，撒瑪利亞的首領是利瑪利的兒子；你們若不相信，就必定不得堅立。”’”

⁹and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”

¹⁰以馬內利的兆頭耶和華又告訴亞哈斯說：

¹⁰Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

¹¹“你向耶和華你的　神求一個兆頭，或求顯在深處，或求顯在高處。”

¹¹“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”

¹²但亞哈斯說：“我不求，我不試探耶和華。”

¹²But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh.”

¹³以賽亞說：“大衛家啊，你們要聽！你們使人厭煩還算小事，還要使我的　神厭煩嗎？

¹³He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

¹⁴因此主自己必給你們一個兆頭：看哪！必有童女懷孕生子；她要給他起名叫‘以馬內利’。

¹⁴Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. “Immanuel” means “God with us.”

¹⁵到他曉得棄惡擇善的時候，他必吃乳酪和蜂蜜。

¹⁵He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

¹⁶因為在這孩子曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所畏懼的那兩個王之地，早就被棄絕了。

¹⁶For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.

¹⁷預言敵人將要入侵“耶和華必使災難的日子臨到你和你的人民，以及你的父家，自從以法蓮脫離猶大以來，未曾有過這樣的日子，就是亞述王的入侵。”

¹⁷Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

¹⁸到那時，耶和華必發出哨聲，把埃及河流盡頭的蒼蠅和亞述地的蜂子召來。

¹⁸It will happen in that day that Yahweh will 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牠們都必飛來，落在荒谷中、巖石的穴裡、一切荊棘叢中和所有的草場上。

¹⁹They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.

²⁰到那日，主必用大河那邊租來的剃刀，就是亞述王，剃去你們的頭髮和腳上的毛，並且剃淨你們的鬍鬚。

²⁰In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

²¹到那時，一個人只能養活一頭母牛犢和兩隻母綿羊。

²¹It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

²²因為出的奶多，他就可以吃乳酪；境內剩下的人，都要吃乳酪和蜂蜜。

²²and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.

²³到那日，從前種一千棵葡萄樹，價值一萬一千四百克銀子的地方，現在卻成為荊棘和蒺藜生長之處。

²³It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.

²⁴人到那裡去，必須攜帶弓和箭，因為遍地都是荊棘和蒺藜。

²⁴People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.

²⁵以前所有用鋤頭挖掘的山地，你因為懼怕荊棘和蒺藜，都不敢上那裡去；那裡就成了放牛之地，羊群踐踏之處。

²⁵All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.”
