Isaiah 37
|
| Tendo ouvido isso o rei Ezequias, rasgou as suas vestes, e se cobriu de saco, e entrou na casa do Senhor. | And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord. |
| Também enviou Eliaquim, o mordomo, Sebna, o escrivão, e os anciãos dos sacerdotes, cobertos de saco, a Isaías, filho de Amoz, o profeta, | And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. |
| para lhe dizerem: Assim diz Ezequias: Este dia é dia de angústia e de vitupérios, e de blasfêmias, porque chegados são os filhos ao parto, e força não há para os dar à luz. | And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame: for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them. |
| Porventura o Senhor teu Deus terá ouvido as palavras de Rabsaqué, a quem enviou o rei da Assíria, seu amo, para afrontar o Deus vivo, e para o vituperar com as palavras que o Senhor teu Deus tem ouvido; faze oração pelo resto que ficou. | It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people. |
| Foram, pois, os servos do rei Ezequias ter com Isaías, | So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. |
| e Isaías lhes disse: Dizei a vosso amo: Assim diz o Senhor: Não temas à vista das palavras que ouviste, com as quais os servos do rei da Assíria me blasfemaram. | And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing. |
| Eis que meterei nele um espírito, e ele ouvirá uma nova, e voltará para a sua terra; e fá-lo-ei cair morto à espada na sua própria terra. | See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death. |
| Voltou pois Rabsaqué, e achou o rei da Assíria pelejando contra Libna; porque ouvira que se havia retirado de Laquis. | So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish. |
| Então ouviu ele dizer a respeito de Tiraca, rei da Etiópia: Saiu para te fazer guerra. Assim que ouviu isto, enviou mensageiros a Ezequias, dizendo: | And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, ... And he sent representatives to Hezekiah, king of Judah, saying, |
| Assim falareis a Ezequias, rei de Judá: Não te engane o teu Deus, em quem confias, dizendo: Jerusalém não será entregue na mão do rei da Assíria. | This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria. |
| Eis que já tens ouvido o que fizeram os reis da Assíria a todas as terras, destruindo-as totalmente; e serás tu livrado? | No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse: and will you be kept safe from their fate? |
| Porventura as livraram os deuses das nações que meus pais destruíram: Gozã, e Harã, e Rezefe, e os filhos de Edem que estavam em Telassar? | Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar? |
| Onde está o rei de Hamate, e o rei de Arpade, e o rei da cidade de Sefarvaim, Hena e Iva? | Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivva? |
| Recebendo pois Ezequias as cartas das mãos dos mensageiros, e lendo-as, subiu à casa do Senhor; e Ezequias as estendeu perante o Senhor. | And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord, |
| E orou Ezequias ao Senhor, dizendo: | And he made prayer to the Lord, saying, |
| O Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, tu que estás sentado sobre os querubins; tu, só tu, és o Deus de todos os reinos da terra; tu fizeste o céu e a terra. | O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. |
| Inclina, ó Senhor, o teu ouvido, e ouve; abre, Senhor, os teus olhos, e vê; e ouve todas as palavras de Senaqueribe, as quais ele mandou para afrontar o Deus vivo. | Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God. |
| Verdade é, Senhor, que os reis da Assíria têm assolado todos os países, e suas terras, | Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste all the nations and their lands, |
| e lançado no fogo os seus deuses; porque deuses não eram, mas obra de mãos de homens, madeira e pedra; por isso os destruíram. | And have given their gods to the fire: for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction. |
| Agora, pois, ó Senhor nosso Deus, livra-nos da sua mão, para que todos os reinos da terra saibam que só tu és o Senhor. | But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord. |
| Então Isaías, filho de Amoz, mandou dizer a Ezequias: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Portanto me fizeste a tua súplica contra Senaqueribe, rei de Assíria, | Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears. |
| esta é a palavra que o Senhor falou a respeito dele: A virgem, a filha de Sião, te despreza, e de ti zomba; a filha de Jerusalém meneia a cabeça por detrás de ti. | This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you. |
| A quem afrontaste e de quem blasfemaste? contra quem alçaste a voz e ergueste os teus olhos ao alto? Contra o Santo de Israel. | Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel. |
| Por meio de teus servos afrontaste o Senhor, e disseste: Com a multidão dos meus carros subi eu aos cumes dos montes, aos últimos recessos do Líbano; e cortei os seus altos cedros e as suas faias escolhidas; e entrei no seu cume mais elevado, no bosque do seu campo fértil. | You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods. |
| Eu cavei, e bebi as águas; e com as plantas de meus pés sequei todos os rios do Egito. | I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry. |
| Não ouviste que já há muito tempo eu fiz isso, e que já desde os dias antigos o tinha determinado? Agora porém o executei, para que fosses tu o que reduzisses as cidades fortificadas a montões de ruínas. | Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls. |
| Por isso os seus moradores, dispondo de pouca força, andaram atemorizados e envergonhados; tornaram-se como a erva do campo, e como a relva verde, e como o feno dos telhados ou dum campo, que se queimaram antes de amadurecer. | This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste. |
| Mas eu conheço o teu sentar, o teu sair e o teu entrar, e o teu furor contra mim. | But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in. |
| Por causa do teu furor contra mim, e porque a tua arrogância subiu até os meus ouvidos, portanto porei o meu anzol no teu nariz e o meu freio na tua boca, e te farei voltar pelo caminho por onde vieste. | Because your wrath against me and your pride have come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came. |
| E isto te será por sinal: este ano comereis o que espontaneamente nascer, e no segundo ano o que daí proceder; e no terceiro ano semeai e colhei, plantai vinhas, e comei os frutos delas. | And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself, and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed, and get in the grain, and make vine-gardens, and take of their fruit. |
| Pois o restante da casa de Judá, que sobreviveu, tornará a lançar raízes para baixo, e dará fruto para cima. | And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth, and give fruit. |
| Porque de Jerusalém sairá o restante, e do monte Sião os que escaparam; o zelo do Senhor dos exércitos fará isso. | For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done. |
| Portanto, assim diz o Senhor acerca do rei da Assíria: Não entrará nesta cidade, nem lançará nela flecha alguma; tampouco virá perante ela com escudo, ou levantará contra ela tranqueira. | For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it. |
| Pelo caminho por onde veio, por esse voltará; mas nesta cidade não entrará, diz o Senhor. | By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town. |
| Porque eu defenderei esta cidade, para a livrar, por amor de mim e, por amor do meu servo Davi. | For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David. |
| Então saiu o anjo do Senhor, e feriu no arraial dos assírios a cento e oitenta e cinco mil; e quando se levantaram pela manhã cedo, eis que todos estes eram corpos mortos. | And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies. |
| Assim Senaqueribe, rei da Assíria, se retirou, e se foi, e voltou, e habitou em Nínive. | Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh. |
| E sucedeu que, enquanto ele adorava na casa de Nisroque, seu deus, Adrameleb, que e Sarezer, seus filhos, o mataram à espada; e escaparam para a terra de Arará. E Ezar-Hadom, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar. | And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place. |
