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.

¹In zgodilo se je v dnevih Ahaza, sinu Jotama, sinu Uzija, kralja Judovega, da je šel Rezin, kralj sirski, in Pekah, sin Remalijev, kralj Izraelov, gori bojevat se zoper Jeruzalem; ali ni ga mogel vzeti.

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.

²In sporočili so hiši Davidovi, rekoč: Sirija se zanaša na Efraima! In srce njegovo je trepetalo in srce njegovega ljudstva, kakor trepečejo drevesa v gozdu od vetra.

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;

³Tedaj veli GOSPOD Izaiju: Pojdi vendar Ahazu naproti, ti in sin tvoj Šear-jašub [T. j. ostanek se povrne.], na konec vodotoka gornjega ribnika, proti potu ob valjalčevi njivi,

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.

⁴in mu povej: Pazi, da bodeš miren; ne boj se in srce naj se ti ne plaši spričo teh dveh glavenj, ki se toliko kadita, spričo razvnete jeze Rezina in Sirije in Remalijevega sina.

⁵Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

⁵Ker je osnovala Sirija hudoben naklep zoper tebe, tudi Efraim in Remalijev sin, govoreč:

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:

⁶Idimo gori nad Judejo, da jo spravimo v strah ter jo siloma odpremo sebi in postavimo za kralja v njej Tabeelovega sina;

⁷Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

⁷zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Ne zgodi se in ne bode tega.

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.

⁸Kajti Siriji je glava Damask in Damasku glava Rezin; in še po petinšestdesetih letih bo zrušen Efraim, da ne bode več ljudstvo.

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.

⁹In glava Efraimu je Samarija in Samariji glava sin Remalijev. Ako ne verjamete, zares, nimate obstanka.

¹⁰Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

¹⁰In GOSPOD je še dalje govoril Ahazu, rekoč:

¹¹Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

¹¹Prosi si znamenja od GOSPODA, Boga svojega, prosi ga iz globočine ali z višine.

¹²But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

¹²Ahaz pa reče: Ne bom prosil, ne izkušal GOSPODA.

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?

¹³Nato reče prorok: Čujte torej, hiša Davidova! Je li vam kaj malega nadlegovati ljudi, da celo nadlegujete Boga mojega?

¹⁴Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

¹⁴Zatorej vam da Gospod sam znamenje: Glej, devica bo spočela in rodila sina, in imenovala bo ime njegovo Imanuel [T. j. Bog z nami.].

¹⁵Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

¹⁵Smetano in med bo jedel, ko bo vedel zametati hudo in voliti dobro.

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.

¹⁶Kajti še preden bo vedel ta deček zametati hudo in voliti dobro, bo zapuščena dežela, ki te je groza dveh kraljev njenih.

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.

¹⁷GOSPOD stori, da pridejo nad tebe in nad ljudstvo tvoje in nad hišo očeta tvojega dnevi, kakršnih ni bilo, odkar se je Efraim ločil od Jude: pripelje nadte kralja asirskega.

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.

¹⁸In zgodi se tisti dan, da GOSPOD požvižga muhi, ki je ob koncih potokov egiptovskih, in čebeli, ki je v deželi Asirski.

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.

¹⁹In pridejo in posedejo vse, kar jih je, po dolih med strminami in po skalnih razpokah in po vsem grmovju in po vseh pašnikih.

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.

²⁰Tisti dan obrije Gospod z najeto britvijo, ki je onkraj velereke, namreč s kraljem asirskim, lase po glavi in po nogah, celó brado pokonča.

²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

²¹In v tistem času bode, da bo kdo redil le kravico in dve ovci,

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.

²²a ker bo molzel obilo mleka, bo jedel smetano; kajti smetano in med bo jedel, kdorkoli preostane v deželi.

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.

²³Zgodi se tudi v tistem času, da bo vsak kraj, kjer je bilo tisoč vinskih trt vrednih tisoč srebrnikov, preraslo grmovje in trnje.

²⁴With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

²⁴S pšicami in z lokom bodo morali hoditi tja, ker bo z grmovjem in trnjem obrasla vsa dežela.Na vse gore pa, ki so jih kopali z motiko, tja ne prideš boječ se grmovja in trnja, ondi pa bode kraj, kamor bodo izpuščali vole in po katerem bo teptala drobnica.

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.

²⁵Na vse gore pa, ki so jih kopali z motiko, tja ne prideš boječ se grmovja in trnja, ondi pa bode kraj, kamor bodo izpuščali vole in po katerem bo teptala drobnica.
