WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και εν ταις ημέραις του Άχαζ, υιού του Ιωάθαμ, υιού του Οζίου, βασιλέως του Ιούδα, Ρεσίν ο βασιλεύς της Συρίας, και Φεκά ο υιός του Ρεμαλία, βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ, ανέβησαν επί την Ιερουσαλήμ διά να πολεμήσωσιν αυτήν αλλά δεν ηδυνήθησαν να εκπολιορκήσωσιν αυτήν.
1 ACONTECIÓ en los días de Achâz hijo de Jotham, hijo de Uzzías, rey de Judá, que Rezín rey de Siria, y Peca hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, subieron á Jerusalem para combatirla; mas no la pudieron tomar.
1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 Και ανήγγειλαν προς τον οίκον Δαβίδ λέγοντες, Η Συρία συνεφώνησε μετά του Εφραΐμ. Και η καρδία του Άχαζ και η καρδία του λαού αυτού εκλονίσθη, ως τα δένδρα του δάσους κλονίζονται υπό του ανέμου.
2 Y vino la nueva á la casa de David, diciendo: Siria se ha confederado con Ephraim. Y estremeciósele el corazón, y el corazón de su pueblo, como se estremecen los árboles del monte á causa del viento.
2 David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
3 Τότε είπεν ο Κύριος προς τον Ησαΐαν, Έξελθε τώρα εις συνάντησιν του Άχαζ, συ και Σεάρ-ιασούβ ο υιός σου, εις το άκρον του υδραγωγού της άνω κολυμβήθρας κατά την μεγάλην οδόν του αγρού του γναφέως
3 Entonces dijo Jehová á Isaías: Sal ahora al encuentro de Achâz, tú, y Sear-jasub tu hijo, al cabo del conducto de la Pesquera de arriba, en el camino de la heredad del Lavador,
3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
4 και ειπέ προς αυτόν, Πρόσεχε να μένης ήσυχος μη φοβηθής μηδέ μικροψυχήσης, διά τας δύο ουράς των καπνιζόντων τούτων δαυλών, διά τον άγριον θυμόν του Ρεσίν και της Συρίας, και του υιού του Ρεμαλία.
4 Y dile: Guarda, y repósate; no temas, ni se enternezca tu corazón á causa de estos dos cabos de tizón que humean, por el furor de la ira de Rezín y del Siro, y del hijo de Remalías.
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Επειδή η Συρία, ο Εφραΐμ και ο υιός του Ρεμαλία εβουλεύθησαν κακήν βουλήν εναντίον σου, λέγοντες,
5 Por haber acordado maligno consejo contra ti el Siro, con Ephraim y con el hijo de Remalías, diciendo:
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 Ας αναβώμεν εναντίον του Ιούδα και ας στενοχωρήσωμεν αυτόν, και ας διαμερισθώμεν αυτόν εις εαυτούς, και ας βάλωμεν βασιλέα εν μέσω αυτού, τον υιόν του Ταβεήλ·
6 Vamos contra Judá, y la despertaremos, y la partiremos entre nosotros, y pondremos en medio de ella por rey al hijo de Tabeel:
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
7 ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Τούτο δεν θέλει σταθή ουδέ θέλει γείνει.
7 El Señor Jehová dice así: No subsistirá, ni será.
7 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8 Διότι η κεφαλή της Συρίας είναι η Δαμασκός, και η κεφαλή της Δαμασκού ο Ρεσίν και εις εξήκοντα πέντε έτη ο Εφραΐμ θέλει συντριφθή, ώστε να μη ήναι λαός.
8 Porque la cabeza de Siria es Damasco, y la cabeza de Damasco, Rezín: y dentro de sesenta y cinco años Ephraim será quebrantado hasta dejar de ser pueblo.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
9 Και η κεφαλή του Εφραΐμ είναι η Σαμάρεια, και η κεφαλή της Σαμαρείας ο υιός του Ρεμαλία. Εάν δεν πιστεύητε, δεν θέλετε βεβαίως στερεωθή.
9 Entretanto la cabeza de Ephraim es Samaria, y la cabeza de Samaria el hijo de Remalías. Si vosotros no creyereis, de cierto no permaneceréis.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10 Και ελάλησεν έτι ο Κύριος προς τον Άχαζ, λέγων,
10 Y habló más Jehová á Achâz, diciendo:
10 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 Ζήτησον σημείον παρά Κυρίου του Θεού σου ζήτησον αυτό ή εις το βάθος ή εις το ύψος άνω.
11 Pide para ti señal de Jehová tu Dios, demandándola en lo profundo, ó arriba en lo alto.
11 “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”
12 Αλλ' ο Άχαζ είπε, δεν θέλω ζητήσει ουδέ θέλω πειράσει τον Κύριον.
12 Y respondió Achâz: No pediré, y no tentaré á Jehová.
12 But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”
13 Και είπεν ο Ησαΐας, Ακούσατε τώρα, οίκος Δαβίδ μικρόν πράγμα είναι διά σας να βαρύνητε ανθρώπους, και θέλετε βαρύνει έτι και τον Θεόν μου;
13 Dijo entonces [Isaías]: Oid ahora, casa de David. ¿Os es poco el ser molestos á los hombres, sino que también lo seáis á mi Dios?
13 He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
14◆ Διά τούτο ο Κύριος αυτός θέλει σας δώσει σημείον ιδού, η παρθένος θέλει συλλάβει και γεννήσει υιόν, και θέλει καλεσθή το όνομα αυτού Εμμανουήλ.
14 Por tanto el mismo Señor os dará señal: He aquí que la virgen concebirá, y parirá hijo, y llamará su nombre Emmanuel.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Βούτυρον και μέλι θέλει φάγει, εωσού μάθη να απορρίπτη το κακόν και να εκλέγη το αγαθόν.
15 Comerá manteca y miel, para que sepa desechar lo malo y escoger lo bueno.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 Διότι πριν μάθη το παιδίον να απορρίπτη το κακόν και να εκλέγη το αγαθόν, η γη, την οποίαν αποστρέφεσαι, θέλει εγκαταλειφθή υπό των δύο βασιλέων αυτής.
16 Porque antes que el niño sepa desechar lo malo y escoger lo bueno, la tierra que tú aborreces será dejada de sus dos reyes.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
17 Ο Κύριος θέλει φέρει επί σε, και επί τον λαόν σου, και επί τον οίκον του πατρός σου, ημέρας, αίτινες δεν ήλθον αφ' ης ημέρας εχωρίσθη από του Ιούδα ο Εφραΐμ, διά του βασιλέως της Ασσυρίας.
17 Jehová hará venir sobre ti, y sobre tu pueblo, y sobre la casa de tu padre, días cuales nunca vinieron desde el día que Ephraim se apartó de Judá, [es á saber], al rey de Asiria.
17 Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
18 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλει συρίξει ο Κύριος εις τας μυίας τας εν τοις εσχάτοις των ποταμών της Αιγύπτου, και εις τας μελίσσας τας εν τη γη της Ασσυρίας
18 Y acontecerá que aquel día silbará Jehová á la mosca que está en el fin de los ríos de Egipto, y á la abeja que está en la tierra de Asiria.
18 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle 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.
19 και θέλουσιν ελθεί και αναπαυθή πάσαι επί τας ηρημωμένας κοιλάδας και εν ταις τρύπαις των βράχων και επί πάσαν βάτον και επί παν ώραίον δένδρον.
19 Y vendrán, y se asentarán todos en los valles desiertos, y en las cavernas de las piedras, y en todos los zarzales, y en todas las matas.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
20 Εν τη αυτή ημέρα ο Κύριος θέλει ξυρίσει, με το ξυράφιον το μεμισθωμένον από του πέραν του ποταμού, μετά του βασιλέως της Ασσυρίας, την κεφαλήν και τας τρίχας των ποδών και τον πώγωνα έτι θέλει αφαιρέσει.
20 En aquel día raerá el Señor con navaja alquilada, con los [que habitan] de la otra parte del río, [á saber], con el rey de Asiria, cabeza y pelos de los pies; y aun la barba también quitará.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
21 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα άνθρωπος τρέφων μίαν δάμαλιν και δύο πρόβατα,
21 Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que críe un hombre una vaca y dos ovejas;
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
22 από της αφθονίας του γάλακτος, το οποίον θέλουσι δίδει, βούτυρον θέλει τρώγει διότι βούτυρον και μέλι θέλει τρώγει έκαστος, όστις υπελείφθη εν τω μέσω της γης.
22 Y será que á causa de la abundancia de leche que darán, comerá manteca: cierto manteca y miel comerá el que quedare en medio de la tierra.
22 It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
23 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα πας τόπος, εν ω ήσαν χίλιαι άμπελοι χιλίων αργυρίων, θέλει είσθαι διά τριβόλους και ακάνθας.
23 Acontecerá también en aquel tiempo, que el lugar donde había mil vides que valían mil [siclos] de plata, será para los espinos y cardos.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
24 Με βέλη και με τόξα θέλουσιν ελθεί εκεί· διότι πάσα η γη θέλει κατασταθή τρίβολοι και άκανθαι.
24 Con saetas y arco irán allá; porque toda la tierra será espinos y cardos.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 Και παν όρος γεγεωργημένον με δίκελλαν, όπου δεν ήλθε φόβος τριβόλων και ακανθών, θέλει είσθαι διά να εξαποστέλλωνται εκεί βόες και διά να καταπατήται υπό προβάτων.
25 Y á todos los montes que se cavaban con azada, no llegará allá el temor de los espinos y de los cardos: mas serán para pasto de bueyes, y para ser hollados de los ganados.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Isaiah 7:14: “a virgin” or “the young woman”?
The Hebrew text of Isaiah 7:14 says ha-almah, “the young woman.” The Greek Septuagint, translated by Jews before the time of Christ, says hē parthenos, “the virgin,” and St Matthew quotes that Greek wording (Matthew 1:23). The Orthodox Church reads the Septuagint here, as the Apostles did. The faith in the virgin birth does not rest on one Hebrew word, but the word still deserves an honest look.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And hear again how Isaiah in express words foretold that He should be born of a virgin; for he spoke thus: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bring forth a son, and they shall say for His name, God with us.' " For things which were incredible and seemed impossible with men, these God predicted by the Spirit of prophecy …
5. And when He says, "Hear, O house of David," He performed the part of one indicating that He whom God promised David that He would raise up from the fruit of his belly (ventris) an eternal King, is the same who was born of the Virgin, herself of the lineage of David.
For so had the prophet foretold: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which, being interpreted, is, God with us." He did many miracles that He might commend God in Himself, some of which, even as many as seemed sufficient to proclaim Him, are contained in the …

For he doth not merely say, "Behold, the Virgin shall be with child," but having first said, "Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign," then he subjoins, "Behold, the Virgin shall be with child." Whereas, if she that was to give birth was not a virgin, but this happened in the way of marriage, what sort of sign …
