Isaiah 18
1 Terrible things will happen to [you people] of Ethiopia! In your land there are many sailboats at the upper part of the Nile River.
Ai da terra que ensombreia com as suas azas, que está alem dos rios da Ethiopia,
2 Your rulers send ambassadors that sail [quickly] down the river in papyrus boats. You messengers to Ethiopia, go quickly! Go [up the river] to people who are tall and who have smooth skin. People everywhere are afraid of those people, because they conquer and destroy [other nations]; they live in a land that is divided by branches of one large river.
Que envia embaixadores por mar, e em navios de junco sobre as aguas, dizendo: Ide, mensageiros ligeiros, á nação arrastada e pellada, a um povo terrivel desde o seu principio e d'ahi em diante; a uma nação de regra em regra e de atropellar, cuja terra despojam os rios
3 [You messengers] must tell people everywhere, to people everywhere, “Look when I lift up my battle flag on top of the mountain, and listen when I blow the ram’s horn [to signal that the battle is about to begin].”
Vós, todos os habitadores do mundo, e vós os moradores da terra, quando se arvorar a bandeira nos montes, o vereis; e quando se tocar a trombeta, o ouvireis.
4 [Listen] because Yahweh has told me this: “I will watch quietly from where I live. I will watch as quietly as [SIM] the heat waves shimmer as they rises on a hot summer day, as quietly as the dew forms [on the ground] during harvest time.”
Porque assim me disse o Senhor: Estarei quieto, olhando desde a minha morada, como o ardor resplandecente depois da chuva, como a nuvem do orvalho no ardor da sega.
5 But [even] before the army of Ethiopia starts to attack, while their plans are [slowly forming] like [SIM] grapes that are ripening, Yahweh will [get rid of them like a farmer who] [MET] cuts off the new shoots of the grapevines with his shears, and prunes the branches that have become very long.
Porque antes da sega, quando já o gomo está perfeito, e as uvas verdes amadurecem depois de brotarem, então podará os sarmentos com a podoa, e, cortando os ramos, os tirará d'ali.
6 All [the soldiers in the army of Ethiopia] will be killed, and their corpses will lie in the fields for vultures to eat their flesh in the (summer/hot season). Then wild animals will [chew on their bones] all during the (winter/cold season).
Juntamente serão deixados ás aves dos montes e aos animaes da terra: e sobre elles passarão o verão as aves de rapina, e todos os animaes da terra invernarão sobre elles.
7 At that time, the people of that land that is divided by the branches of that one big river will take gifts to Yahweh in Jerusalem. Those tall people who have smooth/dark skin, whom people everywhere are afraid of, because they conquer and destroy many countries, will take gifts to Jerusalem, the city where the Commander of the armies of angels lives.
N'aquelle tempo trará um presente ao Senhor dos exercitos o povo arrastado e pellado, e o povo terrivel desde o seu principio e d'ahi em diante; uma nação de regra em regra e d'atropellar, cuja terra despojam os rios, ao logar do nome do Senhor dos exercitos, ao monte de Sião.
