Isaiah 28
1 Terrible things will happen to [Samaria city, the capital of Israel]! It is on a hill above a fertile valley; the people who live there, who get drunk by drinking too much wine, are very proud; it is a beautiful and glorious city, but some day that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up.
Ai da corôa de soberba dos bebados de Ephraim, cujo glorioso ornamento é como a flor que cae, que está sobre a cabeça do fertil valle dos feridos do vinho.
2 Listen to this: Yahweh will cause a great army to attack Samaria. Their soldiers will be like [SIM] a huge hailstorm [or] a very strong wind; they will be everywhere, like the water of a huge flood, and they will smash to the ground [the buildings in Samaria].
Eis que o Senhor tem um valente e poderoso que como um alagamento de saraiva, tormenta de destruição, e como um alagamento de impetuosas aguas que trasbordam, com a mão derribará por terra.
3 The people of Samaria are proud, but everything that the drunks who live there think is wonderful/glorious will be trampled on by their enemies.
A corôa de soberba dos bebados de Ephraim será pisada aos pés.
4 [Yes], Samaria is beautiful, set on a hill above a fertile valley, but that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up. Whenever someone sees a good fig at the beginning of the season [when figs become ripe], he quickly picks and eats it; [similarly, when the enemies of Israel see all the beautiful things in Samaria], [they will quickly conquer the city and take away all those things].
E a flor caida do seu glorioso ornamento, que está sobre a cabeça do fertil valle, será como a bêbera antes do verão, que, vendo a alguem, e tendo-a ainda na mão, a engole.
5 At that time, the Commander of the armies of angels will be [like] a glorious wreath of flowers for [us] Israeli people who are still alive [after being exiled].
N'aquelle dia o Senhor dos Exercitos será por corôa gloriosa, e por grinalda formosa, para os residuos de seu povo;
6 He will cause our judges to want to do what is fair/just when they decide people’s cases. He will enable the soldiers who stand at the city gates to strongly defend [the city when our enemies attack it].
E por espirito de juizo, para o que se assenta a julgar, e por fortaleza para os que fazem retirar a peleja até á porta.
7 [But now, ] our leaders stagger/stumble because they have drunk a lot of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks. The priests and prophets also stagger because of drinking a lot of wine and other alcoholic drinks. They are not able to think right; they see visions but they cannot understand what they mean; they are unable to decide things correctly.
Mas tambem estes erram com o vinho e com a bebida forte se desencaminham: até o sacerdote e o propheta erram por causa da bebida forte; são devorados do vinho; se desencaminham com a bebida forte, andam errados na visão, e tropeçam no juizo.
8 All their tables are covered with [their] vomit; filth is everywhere.
Porque todas as suas mesas estão cheias de vomitos e sujidade, até não haver mais logar limpo.
9 They ridicule Yahweh saying, “Who does he think that he is teaching? Why is he talking to us like this? [Does he think that] we are little children who have recently been weaned?
A quem pois se ensinaria a sciencia? e a quem se daria a entender o que se ouviu? ao desmamado do leite, e ao arrancado dos peitos.
10 [He continually tells us], ‘Do this, do that;’ first he tells us one rule, then another rule, he tells us only one line at a time.”
Porque é mandamento, sobre mandamento, mandamento sobre mandamento, regra sobre regra, regra sobre regra: um pouco aqui, um pouco ali.
11 So now, Yahweh will need to force them to listen to [Assyrians] speaking to them in a language that they do not understand.
Pelo que por labios de gago, e por outra lingua, fallará a este povo.
12 Yahweh told his people [long ago], “[This is] a place where you can rest; you are exhausted [from all your travels through the desert], but you will be able to rest [in this land].” But they refused to pay attention to what he said.
Ao qual disse: Este é o descanço, dae descanço ao cançado, e este é o refrigerio: porém não quizeram ouvir.
13 So Yahweh continues to tell the people of Samaria, one line at a time, “Do this, do that,” first one rule and then another rule. But because [of their ignoring what God said], they will be attacked and defeated; they will be wounded and snared and captured.
Assim pois a palavra do Senhor lhes será mandamento sobre mandamento, mandamento sobre mandamento, regra sobre regra, regra sobre regra, um pouco aqui, um pouco ali; para que vão, e caiam para traz, e se quebrantem, e se enlacem, e sejam presos.
14 Because of [what will happen in Samaria], you rulers in Jerusalem who make fun of me, listen to this message from Yahweh:
Pelo que ouvi a palavra do Senhor, homens escarnecedores, que dominam este povo, que está em Jerusalem.
15 You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)
Porquanto dizeis: Fizemos concerto com a morte, e com o inferno fizemos alliança; quando passar o diluvio do açoite, não chegará a nós, porque pozemos a mentira por nosso refugio, e debaixo da falsidade nos escondemos. (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, Yahweh [our] Lord says this: “Listen to this! I am going to place in Jerusalem [someone who is like] [MET] a foundation stone, [he is like] a stone that has been tested [to determine if it is solid]. [He will be like] a valuable cornerstone around which it will be safe to build a house; and whoever trusts in him will never be disappointed.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu fundo em Sião uma pedra, uma pedra já provada, pedra preciosa de esquina, que está bem firme e fundada: aquelle que crer não se apresse.
17 I will test you [people of Jerusalem] to find out if you will act justly and righteously [like] [MET] someone uses a plumb line [to determine if a wall is straight and vertical]. But because your agreement [with Egypt] to protect you [was made by leaders] lying to each other and deceiving each other, you will be defeated and taken away [from your country] by [an army that will come against you like] [MET] a flood.
E regrarei o juizo ao cordel, e a justiça ao nivel, e a saraiva varrerá o refugio da mentira, e as aguas cobrirão o esconderijo.
18 I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol h7585)
E o vosso concerto com a morte se annulará; e a vossa alliança com o inferno não subsistirá; e, quando o diluvio do açoite passar, então sereis d'elle pisados. (Sheol h7585)
19 Their soldiers will come during the morning, at noontime, and at night, and they will carry you all away.” And when you understand this message, you will be terrified.
Desde que começa a passar, vos arrebatará, porque todas as manhãs passará, de dia e de noite: e será que sómente o ouvir a fama causará grande turbação.
20 [You have heard people say], “Your bed is very short, you will not be able to sleep in it; your blankets are very narrow; they will not cover you!” [That means for you that your agreement with Egypt is not going to save you].
Porque a cama será tão curta que ninguem se poderá estender n'ella; e o cobertor tão estreito que se não possa cobrir com elle
21 Yahweh will come [and cause you to be defeated]; he will do to you like he did to the army of Philistia at Perizim Mountain and like he did to the Amor people-group at Gibeon Valley. What he will do will be [very] strange and unusual [DOU].
Porque o Senhor se levantará como no monte de Perazim, e se irará, como no valle de Gibeon, para fazer a sua obra, a sua estranha obra, e para executar o seu acto, o seu estranho acto.
22 The Commander of the armies of angels has told me that he is going to destroy the entire land. So do not ridicule [what I say any more], because if you do that he will punish you [even] more severely.
Agora pois mais não escarneçaes, para que vossas ataduras se não façam mais fortes: porque já ao Senhor Jehovah dos Exercitos ouvi fallar d'uma destruição, e essa já está determinada sobre toda a terra.
23 Listen [IDM] to what I say; pay attention carefully.
Inclinae os ouvidos, e ouvi a minha voz: attendei bem, e ouvi o meu discurso.
24 When a farmer plows some ground, does he never plant seeds [RHQ]? Does he continue to plow it and never plant anything [RHQ]?
Porventura lavra todo o dia o lavrador, para semear? ou abre e desterroa todo o dia a sua terra?
25 No, he makes the ground very level, and then he plants seeds— dill and cumin and wheat and barley. He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.
Porventura não é assim? quando já tem gradado a sua superficie, então esparge n'ella ervilhaca, e derrama cominho: ou lança n'ella do melhor trigo, ou cevada escolhida, ou centeio, cada qual no seu logar.
26 [He does that] because God has taught him the correct way to do it.
O seu Deus o ensina, e o instrue ácerca do que ha de fazer.
27 [Farmers] never thresh caraway/dill with a heavy sledge/club; instead, they beat it only with a stick. [Farmers] never thresh cumin by driving a cart over it; instead, they hit it [only] with a rod.
Porque a ervilhaca não se trilha com trilho, nem sobre o cominho passa roda de carro; mas com uma vara se sacode a ervilhaca, e o cominho com um páu.
28 And grain for baking bread is crushed easily, so the farmers do not continue to pound it for a long time. They sometimes cause their horses to pull a cart over it [to thresh it], [but] doing that does not grind the grain.
O trigo é esmiuçado, mas não se trilha continuamente, nem se esmiuça com as rodas do seu carro, nem se quebranta com os seus cavallos.
29 The Commander of the armies of angels gives [us] wonderful advice [about how to do things]; he causes [us] to be very wise. [So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid].
Até isto procede do Senhor dos Exercitos; porque é maravilhoso em conselho e grande em obra.
