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 Acaz, filho de Jotão, filho de Uzias, rei de Judá, que, Rezim, rei da Síria, e Peca, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, subiram a Jerusalém para fazerem guerra contra ela; mas não conseguiram vencer a batalha 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 avisaram à casa de Davi, dizendo: Os sírios se aliaram aos de Efraim. Então o coração dele se agitou, e também o coração de seu povo, tal como as árvores do bosque que se agitam 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 o SENHOR disse a Isaías: Agora tu e teu filho Sear-Jasube, saí ao encontro de Acaz, ao final do aqueduto do tanque superior, na estrada 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: Tem cuidado, mas fica calmo; não temas, nem desanime teu coração por causa dessas duas pontas fumegantes de lenha, por causa do ardor da ira de Rezim, dos sírios, e do filho de Remalias.
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
Pois o sírio teve maligno conselho contra ti, com Efraim 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 o aflijamos, e o repartamos entre nós; e façamos reinar como rei no meio dele ao 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: Isso não subsistirá, nem sucederá.
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.
Pois a cabeça da Síria é Damasco, e o cabeça de Damasco Rezim; e dentro de sessenta e cinco anos Efraim será quebrado, e não será [mais] 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.’”
E a cabeça de Efraim é Samaria, e o cabeça de Samaria é o filho de Remalias. Se não crerdes, não ficareis firmes.
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
E o SENHOR continuou a falar a Acaz, 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 um sinal do SENHOR teu Deus; pede ou de baixo, das profundezas, ou de cima, das 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]!”
Mas Acaz disse: Não pedirei, nem porei teste 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 [Isaías] disse: Ouvi agora, ó casa de Davi: Achais pouco cansardes aos homens, para cansardes também [a paciência] do 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’].
Por isso o Senhor, ele mesmo, vos dará um sinal: eis que a virgem conceberá, e fará nascer um filho, e ela chamará 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 mal ele comerá, pois saberá como 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.
Mas antes que este menino saiba rejeitar o mal e escolher o bem, a terra da qual tendes pavor será desamparada de 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!”
O SENHOR fará vir sobre ti, sobre o teu povo, e sobre a casa de teu pai, dias que nunca vieram, desde o dia em que Efraim se desviou de Judá, [quando vier] o rei da Assíria.
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 acontecerá que naquele dia o SENHOR assoviará às moscas que estão na extremidade dos rios do Egito, e às abelhas que andam na terra da Assíria.
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 todas elas pousarão nos vales desabitados, e nas fendas das rochas, e em todos os espinheiros, e em todos os arbustos.
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 o Senhor raspará com uma navalha alugada dalém do rio, por meio do rei da Assíria, a cabeça e os pelos dos pés; e até a barba será tirada por completo.
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
E acontecerá naquele dia, que alguém estará criando uma vaca jovem 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 será que, por causa da abundância de leite que lhe derem, ele comerá manteiga; e comerá manteiga e mel todo aquele que for deixado 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.
Será também naquele dia, que todo lugar em que antes havia mil videiras [do valor] de dez mil moedas de prata, se tornará [lugar] para espinhos e para cardos.
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].
Que com arco e flechas ali entrarão; porque toda a terra será espinhos e cardos.
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 onde costumavam ser cavados com enxadas, não se irá a eles por medo dos espinhos e dos cardos; porém servirão para se enviar bois, e para que gado miúdo pise.
