The prophet assures king Achaz that the two kings his enemies shall not take Jerusalem. A virgin shall conceive and bear a son.

1And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Rasin king of Syria and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over it.Avvenne che a tempo di Achaz (figliuolo di Joathan, figliuolo di Ozia) re di Giuda, Rasin re della Siria, e Phacee figliuolo di Romelia, re d'Israele, andaron sopra a Gerusalemme per assalirla, e non poterono vincerla.AND it came to passe in the dayes of Achaz the sonne of Ioathan, the sonne of Ozias king of Iuda, there came vp Rasin the king of Syria, and Phacee the sonne of Romelia the king of Israel to Ierusalem, to fight against it: and they could not ouercome it.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 2And they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.Fu adunque recato avviso alla casa di David, e fu detto: La Siria ha fatto lega con Efraim. E il cuore di lei, e il cuore del suo popolo ne fu agitato, come sono agitati nelle selve gli alberi dalla forza del vento.And they told the house of Dauid, saying: Syria hath rested vpon Ephraim, & his hart was moued, and the hart of his people, as the trees of the wooddes are moued at the face of the winde.debellare eam. 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. 3And the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, thou and Jasub thy son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller’s field.E il Signore disse ad Isaia: Va incontro ad Achaz tu, e colui, che rimane Jasub tuo figliuolo, alla fine del canale della pescaia superiore per la strada, che mena al campo de' Gualchierai:And our Lord sayd to Isaie: Goe forth to meete Achaz, thou, and Iasub thy sonne that is leaft, to the conduite of the vpper poole, in the way of the Fullers filde.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; 4And thou shalt say to him: See thou be quiet: fear not, and let not thy heart be afraid of the two tails of these firebrands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, and of the son of Romelia.E gli dirai: Stattene quieto; non temere, e non si ammollisca il tuo cuore per que' due avanzi di fumanti tizzoni, per l'ira furiosa di Rasin re della Siria, e del figliuolo di Romelia:And thou shalt say to him: See thou be stil: feare not, and let not thine hart be afrayd of the two tailes of these smoking fyrebrands, in the wrath of the furie of Rasin the king of Syria, and of the sonne of Romelia.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;

5Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:E perchè abbia orditi contra di te cattivi disegni la Siria, Efraim, e il figliuolo di Romelia, dicendo:For that Syria hath taken counsel against thee, vnto the euil of Ephraim, and the sonne of Romelia, saying:eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum, / Ephraim, et filius Romeliæ, dicentes: 6Let us go up to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof.Andiamo contro di Giuda, e risvegliamolo, e tiriamolo per forza a noi, e ponghiamo in mezzo a lui per re il figliuolo di Tabeel.Let vs goe vp to Iuda, and rayse it vp, and plucke it a way to vs, and make the sonne of Tabeel king in the middes therof.Ascendamus ad Judam, / et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos, / et ponamus regem in medio ejus filium Tabeel. 7Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.Il Signore Dio dice così: Non sussisterà, e non sarà cosa tale:Thus sayth our Lord God: It shal not stand, & this shal not be.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Non stabit, et non erit istud; 8But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rasin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be a people:Ma Damasco, capo della Siria, e Rasin, capo di Damasco (finiranno): e di qui a sessantacinque anni Efraim finirà di essere un popolo:But the head of Syria Damascus, & the head of Damascus Rasin: and yet threescore and fiue yeares, and Ephraim shal cease to be a people:sed caput Syriæ Damascus, / et caput Damasci Rasin; / et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, / et desinet Ephraim esse populus; 9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.E Samaria, capo di Efraim, e il figliuolo di Romelia, capo di Samaria, finirà. Se voi non crederete, non avrete stabilità.And the head of Ephraim Samaria, and the head of Samaria the sonne of Romelia. If you wil not beleue, you shal not be permanent.et caput Ephraim Samaria, / et caput Samariæ filius Romeliæ. / Si non credideritis, non permanebitis. 10And the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying:E di nuovo parlò il Signore ad Achaz, dicendo:And our Lord added to speake to Achaz, saying:Et adjecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens: 11Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God, either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above.Domanda a tua posta al Signore Dio tuo un segno dal profondo dell'inferno, o lassù nell'eccelso.Aske a signe for thee of the Lord thy God vnto the depth of hel, or vnto the height aboue.Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo, in profundum inferni, sive in excelsum supra.

12And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.E Achaz rispose: Nol chiederò, e non tenterò il Signore.And Achaz said: I wil not aske, and I wil not tempte our Lord.Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum. 13And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also?E disse: Udite adunque, casa di Davidde: E egli adunque poco per voi il far torto agli uomini, che fate torto anche al mio Dio?And he said: Heare ye therfore ô house of Dauid: Is it a smal thing for you, to be greuous to men, that you are greuous to my God also?Et dixit: Audite ergo, domus David. / Numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus, / quia molesti estis et Deo meo ? 14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel.Per questo il Signore darà egli stesso a voi un segno: Ecco, che una Vergine concepirà, e partorirà un figliuolo, e il nome di lui sarà detto Emmanuel.Therfore shal our Lord himselfe geue you a signe. Behold a virgin shal conceiue, and beare a sonne, & his name shal be called Emmanuel.Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum: / ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, / et vocabitur nomen ejus Emmanuel. 15He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.Ei mangerà butirro, e miele, affinchè sappia rigettare il cattivo, ed eleggere il buono.He shal eate butter and honie, that he may know to refuse euil, and choose the good.Butyrum et mel comedet, / ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum. 16For before the child know to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land which thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face of her two kings.Imperocché prima, che il fanciullo sappia rigettare quel, che è cattivo, ed eleggere il buono, lasceranno la terra, che tu hai in orrore, i due suoi re.For before the childe know to refuse euil, and choose good, the land which thou doest detest shal be forsaken of the face of her two kinges.Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum et eligere bonum, / derelinquetur terra quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum. 17The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days that have not come since the time of the separation of Ephraim from Juda with the king of the Assyrians.Manderà il Signore per mezzo del re degli Assirj sopra di te, e sopra il popol tuo, e sopra la casa del padre tuo tali tempi, quali non furono dal dì, in cui si separò Efraim da Giuda.Our Lord wil bring vpon thee, & vpon thy people, and vpon the house of thy father, daies that came not since the daies of the separation of Ephraim from Iuda, with the king of the Assirians.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.

18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.E avverrà, che in quel giorno il Signore chiamerà col fischio la mosca, che sta all'estremità de' fiumi dell'Egitto, e l'ape, che sta nella terra di Assur,And it shal be in that day: our Lord shal hisse to the flie, that is in the vtter most part of the riuers of Aegypt, and to the bee, that is in the land of Assur.Et erit in die illa: sibilabit Dominus / muscæ quæ est in extremo fluminum Ægypti, / et api quæ est in terra Assur; 19And they shall come, and shall all of them rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all places set with shrubs, and in all hollow places.E verranno, e poseranno tutte nelle valli de' torrenti, e nelle caverne dei massi, e su tutti gli arboscelli, e in tutte le buche.And they shal come, and shal rest al in the torrentes of valleis, and in the caues of rockes, and in al shrubbe places, and in al holes.et venient, et requiescent omnes / in torrentibus vallium, / et in cavernis petrarum, / et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus. 20In that day the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.In quel giorno il Signore per mezzo di rasoio preso a nolo; per mezzo di quelli, che stanno oltre il fiume, per mezzo del re degli Assiri, raderò il capo, e il pelo de' piedi, e tutta quanta la barba.In that day our Lord shal shaue with a raser, hyred by them, that are beyond the riuer, by the king of the Assirians, the head, and the haires of the feete, and the whole beard.In die illa radet Dominus / in novacula conducta in his qui trans flumen sunt, / in rege Assyriorum, / caput et pilos pedum, / et barbam universam. 21And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep.E avverrà in quel dì, che un uomo nutrirà una vacca, e due pecore;And it shal be in that day: a man shal nourish a young cowe, and two ewes.Et erit in die illa: / nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves, 22And for the abundance of milk he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that shall be left in the midst of the land.E pell'abbondanza del latte mangerà burro: imperocché burro, e miele mangerà chiunque sarà lasciato sopra la terra.And for the abundance of milke he shal eate butter: for butter and honie shal euerie one eate, that shal be leaft in the middes of the land.et præ ubertate lactis / comedet butyrum; / butyrum enim et mel manducabit / omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terræ.

23And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, at a thousand pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers.E avverrà in quel dì, che qualunque luogo dove erano mille viti (valutate) mille denari di argento, sarà ridotto a spine, e sterpi.And it shal be in that day: euerie place where there shal be a thousand vines, for a thousand peeces of siluer, they shal be into thornes and bryers.Et erit in die illa: omnis locus ubi fuerint / mille vites, mille argenteis, / in sinas et in vepres erunt. 24With arrows and with bows they shall go in thither: for briers and thorns shall be in all the land.Vi anderanno colle saette, e coll'arco, perchè sterpi, e spine occuperanno tutta la terra.With arrowes and bow they shal goe in thither: for bryers and thornes shal be in al the land.Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: / vepres enim et spinæ erunt in universa terra. 25And as for all the hills that shall be raked with a rake, the fear of thorns and briers shall not come thither, but they shall be for the ox to feed on, and the lesser cattle to tread upon.E tutti i monti, i quali si coltiveranno col sarchiello, non avranno più il terrore delle spine, e degli sterpi, e saran pascolo del bue, e saran pestati dal bestiame.And al mountaines, that shal be weeded with a weeding hooke, the terrour of thornes and bryers shal not come thither, and it shal be for the oxe to feede on, and cattle to treade vpon.Et omnes montes qui in sarculo sarrientur, / non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium: / et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris.
