1And 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 Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
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。
2And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
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。
3Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
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，
4And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
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。
5Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
5因為亞蘭、以法蓮和利瑪利的兒子，設惡謀要害你，說：
6Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
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。”
7Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
7因此，主耶和華這樣說：“這計謀必立不住，也不能成就，
8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
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。
9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
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。”’”
10Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
10以馬內利的兆頭耶和華又告訴亞哈斯說：
11Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
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。”
12But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
12但亞哈斯說：“我不求，我不試探耶和華。”
13And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
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？
14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
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’。
15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
15到他曉得棄惡擇善的時候，他必吃乳酪和蜂蜜。
16For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
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。
17The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
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。”
18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss 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.
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。
19And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
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。
20In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
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。
21And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
21到那時，一個人只能養活一頭母牛犢和兩隻母綿羊。
22And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
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。
23And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
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。
24With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become 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。
25And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
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。
