Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), read by Joyfull · Isaías 7–8 · About the recordings
1 Fue durante el reinado de Acaz hijo de Jotam, hijo de Uzías, rey de Judá, cuando Rezín, rey de Harán, marchó para atacar Jerusalén. Pecaj, hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, se unió al ataque, pero no pudieron conquistar la ciudad.
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 Cuando la familia real de Judá fue informada, “Harán y Efraín tienen una alianza”, Acaz y su pueblo se aterrorizaron y se estremecieron como árboles en el bosque sacudidos por el 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 Entonces el Señor dijo a Isaías: “Toma a tu hijo Sear-Jasub contigo y ve al encuentro de Acaz. Estará al final del acueducto del estanque superior, junto al camino del campo de lavado.
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 Dile que se calme y se calle. No tengas miedo ni te asustes por un par de trozos de leña que arden, por la ira ardiente de Rezín y Harán, 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 Harán ha conspirado para destruirte junto con Efraín y el hijo de Remalías diciendo:
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 ¡Vamos a atacar a Judá! La aterrorizaremos y la conquistaremos para nosotros, y haremos rey al hijo de Tabel”.
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 Pero esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: “¡Este plan no se concretará, simplemente no sucederá!
7 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8 Porque el jefe de Harán es Damasco, y el jefe de Damasco es Rezín. Además, dentro de sesenta y cinco años Israel como nación será destruida.
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 El jefe de Israel es Samaria, y el jefe de Samaria es el hijo de Remalías. Si no confían en mí, no sobrevivirán”.
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 Más tarde, el Señor envió otro mensaje a Acaz:
10 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Pide al Señor, tu Dios, una señal, ya sea tan profunda como donde está enterrada la gente o tan alta como el cielo”.
11 “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”
12 “No, no voy a pedirla”, respondió Acaz. “Me niego a poner al Señor a prueba”.
12 But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”
13 Entonces Isaías dijo: “¡Escuchen, familia real de Judá! ¿No les basta con desgastar a la gente? ¿Tienen que desgastar también a 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◆ Por eso el Señor mismo les dará una señal. ¡Miren! Una virgen quedará embarazada y dará a luz un hijo, al que llamará Emanuel.
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 Comerá leche y miel hasta que sepa rechazar el mal y elegir el bien.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 Porque antes de que el niño sepa rechazar el mal y elegir el bien, la tierra de los dos reyes que temes será abandonada.
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 El Señor hará que tú, tu pueblo y la familia real experimenten un tiempo diferente a todo lo ocurrido desde el día en que Efraín se separó de Judá. Traerá al rey de Asiria para que te ataque!”
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 En ese momento el Señor silbará para llamar a las moscas de los lejanos ríos de Egipto y a las abejas del país 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 Todas vendrán y descenderán sobre los valles escarpados y las grietas de las rocas, sobre todos los arbustos espinosos y las charcas.
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 En ese momento el Señor usará una navaja alquilada desde más allá del río Éufrates, el rey de Asiria, para afeitarlos de pies a cabeza, incluyendo sus barbas.
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 En ese tiempo, el que logre mantener con vida a una vaca joven y a dos ovejas
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
22 comerá cuajada, porque producen mucha leche; pues todo el que sobreviva en la tierra comerá cuajada y miel.
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 En aquel tiempo, en todos los lugares donde antes había mil vides que valían mil siclos, sólo habrá zarzas y espinas.
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 La gente irá a cazar allí con arcos y flechas porque la tierra estará cubierta de zarzas y espinas.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 De hecho, a todas las colinas que antes se cultivaban con la azada no querrán ir porque se preocuparán por las zarzas y los espinos que hay allí. Sólo serán lugares donde se suelta el ganado y donde las ovejas vagan.
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 …
