1 And 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 Et factum est in diebus Achaz, filii Joathan, filii Oziæ, regis Juda, ascendit Rasin, rex Syriæ, et Phacee, filius Romeliæ, rex Israël, in Jerusalem, ad præliandum contra eam: et non potuerunt debellare eam.

2 And 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 Et nuntiaverunt domui David, dicentes: Requievit Syria super Ephraim. Et commotum est cor ejus, et cor populi ejus, sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti.

3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

3 Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz, tu et qui derelictus est Jasub, filius tuus, ad extremum aquæductus piscinæ superioris in via agri Fullonis;

4 And 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 et dices ad eum: Vide ut sileas; noli timere,
et cor tuum ne formidet
a duabus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum,
in ira furoris Rasin, regis Syriæ, et filii Romeliæ;

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

5 eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum,
Ephraim, et filius Romeliæ, dicentes:

6 Let 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 Ascendamus ad Judam,
et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos,
et ponamus regem in medio ejus filium Tabeel.

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

7 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Non stabit, et non erit istud;

8 For 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 sed caput Syriæ Damascus,
et caput Damasci Rasin;
et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni,
et desinet Ephraim esse populus;

9 And 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 et caput Ephraim Samaria,
et caput Samariæ filius Romeliæ.
Si non credideritis, non permanebitis.

10 ¶ Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

10 ¶ Et adjecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens:

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

11 Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo, in profundum inferni, sive in excelsum supra.

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

12 Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum.

13 And 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 Et dixit: Audite ergo, domus David.
Numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus,
quia molesti estis et Deo meo?

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

14 Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum:
ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium,
et vocabitur nomen ejus Emmanuel.

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

15 Butyrum et mel comedet,
ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum.

16 For 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 Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum et eligere bonum,
derelinquetur terra quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum.

17 ¶ The 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 Adducet Dominus super te, et super populum tuum,
et super domum patris tui,
dies qui non venerunt
a diebus separationis Ephraim a Juda,
cum rege Assyriorum.

18 And 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 Et erit in die illa: sibilabit Dominus
muscæ quæ est in extremo fluminum Ægypti,
et api quæ est in terra Assur;

19 And 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 et venient, et requiescent omnes
in torrentibus vallium,
et in cavernis petrarum,
et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus.

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a rasor 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 In die illa radet Dominus
in novacula conducta in his qui trans flumen sunt,
in rege Assyriorum,
caput et pilos pedum,
et barbam universam.

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

21 Et erit in die illa:
nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves,

22 And 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 et præ ubertate lactis
comedet butyrum;
butyrum enim et mel manducabit
omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terræ.

23 And 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 Et erit in die illa: omnis locus ubi fuerint
mille vites, mille argenteis,
in spinas et in vepres erunt.

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

24 Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc:
vepres enim et spinæ erunt in universa terra.

25 And 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 Et omnes montes qui in sarculo sarrientur,
non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium:
et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris.
