Isaiah 7
1 Ahaz was the son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah. During the time that Ahaz was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel marched [with their armies] to attack Jerusalem. But they could not conquer it.
Sucedeu pois nos dias de Achaz, filho de Jothão, filho d'Uzias, rei de Judá, que Resin, rei da Síria, e Peka, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, subiram a Jerusalém, para pelejar contra ela, porém, pelejando, nada puderam contra ela.
2 [But before they attacked], everyone in the palace heard a report that the armies of Syria and Israel were [now] (allies/joined [to attack Jerusalem)]. So Ahaz and the people over whom he ruled were extremely afraid; they were shaking from fear like trees shake in a windstorm.
E deram aviso à casa de David, dizendo: A Síria repousa sobre Ephraim. Então se comoveu o seu coração, e o coração do seu povo, como se comovem as árvores do bosque com o vento
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take your son Shear-Jashub, and go to talk with [King] Ahaz. He is at the end of the (aqueduct/water channel) that brings water into the upper reservoir, near the road to the place where women wash clothes.
Então disse o Senhor a Isaias: Agora tu e teu filho Sear-jasub saí ao encontro de Achaz, ao fim do canal do viveiro superior, ao caminho do campo do lavandeiro.
4 Tell Ahaz to stop worrying [DOU]. Tell him that he does not need to be afraid of those two kings, Rezin and Pekah. They are very angry [with Judah], but they are [unable to harm his country any more than] completely burned-out coals [can harm him].
E dize-lhe: Guarda-te, e está descançado, não temas, nem se desanime o teu coração por causa destes dois rabos de tições fumegantes, por causa do ardor da ira de Resin, e da Síria, e do filho de Remalias.
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
Porquanto a Síria teve contra ti maligno conselho, com Ephraim, e com o filho de Remalias, dizendo:
6 ‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
Vamos subir contra Judá, e despertemo-lo, e repartamo-lo entre nós, e façamos reinar no meio dele como rei o filho de Tabeal.
7 But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Isto não subsistirá, nem tão pouco acontecerá.
8 The capital of Syria is Damascus, but Damascus is ruled [only] by its [unimportant/insignificant] king king Rezin. And as for Israel, within 65 years it will be conquered and completely destroyed.
Porém o cabeça da Síria será Damasco, e o cabeça de Damasco Resin: e dentro de sessenta e cinco anos Ephraim será quebrantado, e deixará de ser povo.
9 Israel’s capital is Samaria, and Samaria is ruled only by its [insignificant/unimportant] king king Pekah. [So you do not need to be afraid of those two countries]! [But you must trust me, because] if you do not trust me fully, you will be defeated.’”
Entretanto o cabeça de Ephraim será Samaria, e o cabeça de Samaria o filho de Remalias: se o não crerdes, deveras não ficareis firmes.
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
E continuou o Senhor a falar com Achaz, dizendo:
11 [He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol h7585)
Pede para ti ao Senhor teu Deus um sinal; pede-o ou em baixo nas profundezas ou em cima nas alturas. (Sheol h7585)
12 But [when I told that to the king, he refused]. He said, “[No], I will not request Yahweh to do something to prove [that he will help/protect us]!”
Porém disse Achaz: Não o pedirei, nem tentarei ao Senhor.
13 Then I said [to him], “You people who are descendants of King David, listen! You are causing me to be tired of being patient. Are you also going to cause my God to stop being patient with you [RHQ]?
Então disse: Ouvi agora, ó casa de David: Pouco vos é afadigardes os homens, senão que ainda afadigareis também ao meu Deus?
14 Yahweh himself will do something for you [to prove that he will help/protect you]. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, [which means ‘God is with us’].
Portanto o mesmo Senhor vos dará um sinal: Eis que a virgem conceberá, e parirá um filho, e chamará o seu nome Emanuel.
15 And by the time that child is old enough to eat curds/yogurt and honey, he will be able to reject what is evil and choose what is good.
Manteiga e mel comerá, até que ele saiba rejeitar o mal e escolher o bem.
16 And before that child is old enough to do that, the lands of the two kings that you(sg) are very (afraid of/worried about) will be deserted.
Na verdade, antes que este menino saiba rejeitar o mal e escolher o bem, a terra de que te enfadas será desamparada dos seus dois reis.
17 [But then] Yahweh will cause you and your family and your entire nation to experience [terrible disasters]. Those disasters will be worse than any disasters that have occurred since the country of Israel separated from Judah. Yahweh will cause [the army of] the king of Assyria to attack you!”
Porém o Senhor fará vir sobre ti, e sobre o teu povo, e sobre a casa de teu pai, dias tais, quais nunca vieram, desde o dia em que Ephraim se desviou de Judá, pelo rei d'Assyria.
18 At that time, [it will be as though] Yahweh will whistle to summon the army from the south of Egypt as well as the army of Assyria. They will [come and surround your country like] [MET] flies and bees.
Porque há de acontecer que naquele dia assobiará o Senhor às moscas, que há no extremo dos rios do Egito, e às abelhas que andam na terra da Assyria;
19 They will all come and settle/live [everywhere]—in the narrow valleys and caves in the rock cliffs, on land where there are thornbushes as well as on the fertile land.
E virão, e pousarão todas nos vales desertos e nas fendas das penhas, e em todos os espinhos e em todas as florestas.
20 At that time Yahweh will hire the king of Assyria to come [with his army] from east of the [Euphrates] River. [They will get rid of everything in your land—the crops and the people. They will destroy everything thoroughly]; it will be like [MET] a barber shaving not only a man’s hair but his beard and the hair on his legs.
Naquele dia rapará o Senhor com uma navalha alugada, que está de além do rio, com o rei da Assyria, a cabeça e os cabelos dos pés: e até a barba totalmente tirará.
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
E sucederá naquele dia que alguém criará uma vaca e duas ovelhas:
22 [However], those animals will give plenty of milk, with the result that the farmer will have curds/yogurt to eat. And [because there will not be many people left] in the land, all the people who remain there will have plenty of milk and honey.
E acontecerá que por causa da abundância do leite que lhe derem comerá manteiga; e manteiga e mel comerá todo aquele que ficar de resto no meio da terra.
23 Now there are many areas where there are vineyards that are worth 1,000 pieces of silver, but at that time there will be only briers and thorns [DOU] in those fields.
Sucederá também naquele dia que todo o lugar, em que houver mil vides, do valor de mil moedas de prata, será para as sarças e para os espinheiros.
24 There will be only briers and thorns in the entire land, [and wild animals], with the result that men will take their bows and arrows and go there [to hunt and kill animals].
Com arco e flechas se entrará nele, porque toda a terra será sarças e espinheiros.
25 No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where [only a few] cattle and sheep and goats wander around [searching for something to eat].
E também todos os montes, que costumam cavar com enxadas, se não irá a eles por causa do temor das sarças e dos espinheiros, porém servirão para enviarem ali bois e serem pisados do gado miúdo.
