Calaamaddii Cimmaanuu'eel

Oo Aaxaas ina Yootan, ina Cusiyaah, oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah wakhtigiisii waxaa Yeruusaalem ku soo kacay Resiin oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya iyo Feqax ina Remalyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil inay la diriraan, laakiinse way ka adkaan kari waayeen. Oo waxaa reer Daa'uud loo soo sheegay war leh, Suuriya waxay xidhiidh la yeelatay reer Efrayim. Markaasaa qalbigiisii iyo qalbigii dadkiisuba waxay u ruxmadeen sida geedaha duurka dabayshu u ruxdo oo kale.

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Ishacyaah ku yidhi, Adiga iyo wiilkaaga She'aar Yaashuubba taga oo waxaad Aaxaas uga hor tagtaan meeshuu biyomareenka balliga sare ku dhammaado kaasoo ku dhex yaal waddada berrinka dharmaydhaha, oo waxaad isaga ku tidhaahdaa, Digtoonow oo xasilloonow, ha cabsan, hana qalbi jabin labadan qori ee dabka ah ee qiiqaya aawadood, ha ka welwelin cadhada kulul oo Resiin iyo Suuriya, iyo tan ina Remalyaah toona. Suuriya, iyo Efrayim, iyo ina Remalyaah waxay kuugu tashadeen talo xun, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ina keena aynu dalka Yahuudah ku kacnee oo dhibnee, aynuna jabsanno, oo dhexdiisa boqor fadhiisinno, kaasoo ah ina Taabeel, taas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Taladaasu hagaagi mayso, mana ahaan doonto. Waayo, Suuriya madaxeedu waa Dimishaq, oo Dimishaq madaxeeduna waa Resiin, oo reer Efrayimna waxay ku kala jajabi doonaan muddo ah shan iyo lixdan sannadood si aanay innaba dad u sii ahaan, oo reer Efrayim madaxoodu waa Samaariya, oo Samaariya madaxeeduna waa ina Remalyaah. Haddaad rumaysan weydaan, sida xaqiiqada ah sinaba ma xoogaysan doontaan.

10 Oo weliba Rabbigu mar kaluu Aaxaas la sii hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 11 Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah calaamad weyddiiso, oo waxaad ka weyddiisataa meelaha hoose ama meelaha sare. 12 Oo Aaxaasna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxba weyddiisan maayo, oo Rabbigana innaba jirrabi maayo. 13 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Reer Daa'uudow, bal haatan i maqla, ma wax yar bay idinku tahay inaad dadka daalisaan? Oo weliba Ilaahaygana miyaad daalinaysaan? 14 Haddaba Rabbiga qudhiisa ayaa calaamad idin siin doona. Bal ogaada, gabadh bikrad ah baa uuraysan doonta, oo waxay dhali doontaa wiil, oo magiciisana waxay u bixin doontaa Cimmaanuu'eel. 15 Wuxuu cuni doonaa subag iyo malab, ilaa uu aqoonsado inuu sharka diido oo wanaagga doorto. 16 Waayo, intaan yarku aqoonsan inuu diido sharka oo uu wanaagga doorto ayaa dalka aad labadiisa boqor karaahiyaysatoba laga tegi doonaa. 17 Adiga, iyo dadkaaga iyo reerka aabbahaaba waxaa Rabbigu ku soo dejin doonaa wakhti aan idiin iman tan iyo waa reer Efrayim ay dalka Yahuudah ka tageen, oo kaasuna waa kii boqorka Ashuur.

18 Oo weliba maalintaas Rabbigu wuxuu u soo foodhyi doonaa diqsiyada jooga webiyada Masar darafka ugu shisheeya, iyo shinnida joogta dalka Ashuur. 19 Oo iyana way iman doonaan, oo kulligood waxay ku degi doonaan dooxooyinka cidlada, iyo godadka dhagaxyada, iyo geedaha qodxanta leh oo dhan, iyo meelaha daaqsinta ah oo dhan.

20 Oo isla maalintaas ayaa Rabbigu madaxa iyo xataa lugahaba ku xiiri doona mandiil laga soo kiraystay webiga shishadiisa, taasoo ah boqorka Ashuur, waxayna baabba' ka dhigi doontaa gadhka.

21 Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa in nin dhaqaalaysto sac iyo laba laxaad, 22 oo caanaha tirada badan oo uu ka heli doono aawadood ayuu subag cuni doonaa, waayo, mid kasta oo dalka ku hadhayba wuxuu quudan doonaa subag iyo malab.

23 Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa in meel kasta oo ay ku yiilleen kun geed oo canab ah oo kun xabbadood oo lacag ah lagu qiimeeyo, ay noqoto meel ay ka soo baxaan yamaarug iyo qodxan. 24 Oo waxaa halkaas lala iman doonaa fallaadho iyo qaansooyin, maxaa yeelay, dalka oo dhammu wuxuu noqon doonaa yamaarug iyo qodxan miidhan. 25 Oo kurihii sabaradda lagu qodi jiray oo dhan innaba ma aad iman doontaan xaggooda, waana cabsi aad ka qabtaan yamaarugga iyo qodxanta, laakiinse waxay noqon doonaan meel dibida lagu sii daayo daaqaan iyo meel iduhu ku tuntaan.

The Sign of Immanuel

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.

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.

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) 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) Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s(Q) son have plotted(R) your ruin, saying, “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.” Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:(S)

“‘It will not take place,
    it will not happen,(T)
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.
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)
