(2 Kings 16:5; Matthew 1:23)
1 ✡King Ahaz was Jotham boy, an Jotham was Uzziah boy. King Pekah fo da Israel peopo was Remaliah boy. One time, King Rezin fo da Aram peopo, wit King Pekah fo help him, wen go fight da Jerusalem town peopo Judah side, wea Ahaz was da king. But dey no even can go nea dea fo start da fight. 2 Somebody tell da David ohana guys Judah side, “Da Aram army guys wen go by da Efraim ohana land inside Israel an stay make camp all ova da place wit da Israel guys.” So Ahaz an his peopo, dey come real sked inside. Dey stay shake jalike how da trees shake inside one fores wen da wind blow um.
3 Den Da One In Charge tell Isaiah, “You an yoa boy Shear-Jashub (dat mean, ‘Some peopo goin come back’), go out dea meet King Ahaz. Go by da end a da ditch wea da watta from da Mauka Watta Place go. Go on top da road dat go da field wea dey put da cloth inside da watta an step um fo make um come ready fo dye um. 4 Tell Ahaz, ‘Watch out, but stay cool. No sked. Inside yoa heart, no lose fight! Fo shua, dose two kings, Rezin fo da Aram peopo, an Remaliah boy, dey stay all hot an huhu. But dey jalike two small stick inside da fire dat litto mo all burn out, but still yet dey get plenny smoke. 5 But cuz dey stay huhu, da Aram peopo stay make one plan wit da Israel peopo an dea king, Remaliah boy, fo do bad tings to you. 6 Dey tell, “We go up country Judah side an bus up da Judah peopo. We goin fight an take um ova an make um come oua side. Den we goin make Tabeel boy da king inside Judah.” ’ ”
7 But dis da ting Da One In Charge a me tell:

12 But Ahaz tell, “I no goin aks fo notting. No way I no goin tell Da One In Charge fo show proof!”
13 Den Isaiah tell, “Lissen, you peopo dat come from David ohana. Not enuff you guys try fo make odda peopo come piss off wit you. Now you stay trying fo make my God come piss off wit you too! 14 ✡Cuz a dat, my Boss goin give you guys one sign. Dis da sign: goin get one young wahine dat neva sleep wit one guy, but layta she goin come hapai, an bumbye dat wahine goin born one boy. She goin call him ‘Immanuel,’ dat mean, ‘God stay wit us guys.’ 15 Wen he come big, an he know wass right an wass wrong, an know fo pick ony wass right, dat time goin get plenny sof cheese an honey kine stuff fo him eat. 16 But befo he come dat big, da land dat you worry bout wea da two kings stay goin come all bus up, an no mo notting goin stay dea. 17 Da One In Charge, Da Boss, goin make you, an yoa peopo, an yoa faddah guy ohana, suffa plenny, mo plenny den you guys eva suffa befo, from da time wen da Israel peopo dig out from da Judah peopo. He goin bring da king from Assyria fo make you suffa!”

18 Dis how goin be dat time. Da Boss, Da One In Charge goin bring big armies agains da Judah land. He goin whistle fo call all da flies from da Nile Riva an from all da watta ditch far away inside Egypt. An he goin whistle fo all da bees fo come from Assyria. 19 Da armies all goin come. Goin be jalike wen da flies an da bees go down inside da gulches, inside da cracks inside big stone, inside places wea get thorn bushes, an all ova da pukas wea get watta. 20 Dat time, you guys goin pay da king fo Assyria, fo his army come from da odda side a da Eufrates Riva fo help you guys. But wen dey show up, dey goin rip off eryting you guys get. Goin be jalike Da One In Charge stay use one razor fo cut off all da hair from on top yoa head an legs, an even yoa beard, an you goin come shame.
21 Wen all dat happen, one guy can keep alive ony one young cow an two goats. 22 So from da cow an da goat, dey goin get milk, an da guy goin get enuff sof cheese fo eat. Da peopo dat da army guys no take away from inside da land, goin get sof cheese an wild honey fo eat. 23 But afta da army guys go way, all da place wea had tousan grape plants worth tousan piece silva, now eryting dat goin grow afta, ony goin be thorn kine plants. 24 Anybody go dea, dey goin take bow an arrow fo hunt, cuz ony get thorn bush all ova da place, ova dea. 25 On top da hills, da place wea befo time dey hoe hana da grass, you no goin go dea no moa, cuz you sked da thorn plant goin poke you. Da land ony goin be fo let da cows an sheeps an goats go dea.
