Isaiah 7
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέρως Ἀχάζ τοῦ Ἰωαθὰμ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ὀζίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἀνέβη ῾Ραασσὼν βασιλεὺς Ἀρὰμ καὶ Φάκεε υἱὸς ῾Ρομελίου βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ πολεμῆσαι αὐτήν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν πολιορκῆσαι αὐτήν.
Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram (note: That is, Syria) marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.
καὶ ἀνηγγέλη εἰς τὸν οἶκον Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Συνεφώνησεν Ἀρὰμ πρὸς τὸν Ἐφράιμ· καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅταν ὃν τρόπον ἐν δρυμῷ ξύλον ὑπὸ πνεύματος σαλευθῇ.
When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim (note: Or had set up camp in Ephraim, that is, the northern kingdom of Israel), the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Ἠσαίαν Ἔξελθε εἰς συνάντησιν Ἀχὰζ σὺ καὶ ὁ καταλειφθεὶς Ἰασσοὺβ ὁ < υἱός > σου πρὸς τὴν κολυμβήθραν τῆς ἄνω ὁδοῦ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τοῦ γναφέως.
Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub (note: Shear-jashub means a remnant shall return.) to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ Φύλαξαι τοῦ ἡσυχάσαι καὶ μὴ φοβοῦ, μηδὲ ἡ ψυχή σου ἀσθενείτω ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ξύλων τῶν δαλῶν τῶν καπνιζομένων τούτων· ὅταν γὰρ ὀργὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ μου γένηται, πάλιν ἰάσομαι.
and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀρὰμ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ῾Ρομελίου, ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο βουλὴν πονηρὰν περὶ σοῦ, λέγοντες
For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Ἀναβησόμεθα εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, καὶ συλλαλήσαντες αὐτοῖς ἀποστρέψωμεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ βασιλεύσομεν αὐτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν Ταβεήλ·
‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it (note: Hebrew split it open) among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαώθ Οὐ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ ἡ βουλὴ αὕτη οὐδὲ ἔσται.
But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
ἀλλ᾿ ἡ κεφαλὴ Ἀρὰμ Δαμασκός, καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ Δαμασκοῦ ῾Ρασείν· ἀλλ᾿ ἔτι ἐξήκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐκλείψει ἡ βασιλεία Ἐφράιμ ἀπὸ λαοῦ.
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ Ἐφράιμ Σομορών, καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ Σομορὼν υἱὸς τοῦ ῾Ρομελίου· καὶ ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσητε, οὐδὲ μὴ συνῆτε.
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
αἴτησαι σεαυτῷ σημεῖον παρὰ Κυρίου θεοῦ σου εἰς βάθος ἢ εἰς ὕψος.
“Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχάζ Οὐ μὴ αἰτήσω, οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ πειράσω Κύρων.
But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀκούσατε δή, οἷκος Δαυείδ. μὴ μικρὸν ὑμῖν ἀγῶνα παρέχειν ἀνθρώποις, καὶ πῶς Κυρίῳ παρέχετε ἀγῶνα;
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
διὰ τοῦτο δώσει Κύριος αὐτὸς ὑμῖν σημεῖον· ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἔξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ·
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin (note: Or young woman) will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel (note: Immanuel means God with us; literally and she will call His name Immanuel; DSS and His name will be called Immanuel or and He will call His name Immanuel; LXX and you will call His name Immanuel; cited in Matthew 1:23.).
βούτυρον βούτυρον καὶ μέλι φάγεται· πρὶν ἤ γνῶναι αὐτὸν προελέσθαι πονηρά, ἐκλέξεται τὸ ἀγαθόν·
By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
διότι πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι τὸν παιδίον ἀγαθὸν ἡ κακόν, ἀπειθεῖ πονηρίᾳ. τοῦ ἐκλέξασθαι τὸ ἀγαθόν, καὶ καταλειφθήσεται ἡ γῆ ἥν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν.
For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
ἀλλὰ ἐπάξει ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέρας αἵ οὔπω ἦκασιν ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀφεῖλεν Ἐφράιμ ἀπὸ Ἰούδα, τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἀσσυρίων.
The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ συριεῖ Κύριος μυίαις, ὃ κυριεύει μέρους ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ τῇ μελίσσῃ ἦ ἐστιν ἐν χώρᾳ Ἀσσυρίων·
On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
καὶ ἐλεύσονται πάντες καὶ ἀναπαύσονται ἐν ταῖς φάραγξιν τῆς χώρας καὶ ἐν ταῖς τρώγλαις τῶν πετρῶν καὶ εἷς τὸ. σπήλαια καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ῥαγάδα καὶ ἐν παντὶ ξύλῳ.
And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ξυρήσει Κύριος τῷ ξυρῷ τῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ μεμεθυσμένῳ ὅ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων, τὴν κεφαλήν, καὶ τὰς τρίχας τῶν ποδῶν, καὶ τὸν πώγωνα ἀφελεῖ.
On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates (note: Hebrew the River)—the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ. ἐκείνῃ θρέψει ἅνθρωπος δάμαλιν βοῶν καὶ δύο πρόβατα·
On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
καὶ ἔσται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλεῖστον ποιεῖν γάλα, βούτυρον καὶ μέλι φάγεται πᾶς ὃ καταλειφθεὶς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ πᾶς τόπος οὗ ἐὰν ὦσιν χίλιαι ἄμπελοι χιλίων σίκλων, εἷς χέρσον ἔσονται καὶ ἄκανθαν·
And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver (note: Hebrew a thousand of silver; that is, approximately 25.1 pounds or 11.4 kilograms of silver), only briers and thorns will be found.
μετὰ βέλους καὶ τοξεύματος εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ, ὅτι χέρσος καὶ ἄκανθα ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ·
Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
καὶ πᾶν ὄρος ἀροτριώμενον ἀροτρια θήσεται· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπέλθῃ ἐκεῖ φόβος· ἔσται γὰρ ἀπὸ τῆς χέρσου καὶ ἀκάνθης εἷς βόσκημα προβάτου καὶ εἷς καταπάτημα βοός.
For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
