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.
Nos dias de Acaz, filho de Jotão, filho de Uzias, rei de Judá, Rezim, rei da Síria, e Peca, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, subiram a Jerusalém para fazer guerra contra ela, mas não puderam prevalecer 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.
Foi dito à casa de Davi: “A Síria é aliada de Efraim”. Seu coração tremia, e o coração de seu povo, enquanto as árvores da floresta tremiam 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 Yahweh disse a Isaías: “Saia agora para encontrar Ahaz, você, e Shearjashub seu filho, no final do conduíte da piscina superior, na rodovia do campo do fuller.
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].
Diga-lhe: 'Tenha cuidado e mantenha a calma. Não tenha medo, nem deixe seu coração desmaiar por causa dessas duas caudas de tochas fumegantes, pela raiva feroz de Rezin e da Síria, e do filho de Remaliah.
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
Porque a Síria, Efraim, e o filho de Remalias, conspiraram contra você, dizendo:
6 ‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
“Vamos contra Judá, e rasguemo-lo, e dividamo-lo entre nós, e constituamos um rei dentro dele, até mesmo o filho de Tabeel”.
7 But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
Isto é o que o Senhor Javé diz: “Não subsistirá, nem 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.
Pois o chefe da Síria é Damasco, e o chefe de Damasco é Rezin. Dentro de sessenta e cinco anos Efraim será quebrado em pedaços, para que não seja um 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.’”
A cabeça de Efraim é Samaria, e a cabeça de Samaria é o filho de Remaliah. Se você não acreditar, certamente não será estabelecido””.
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
Yahweh falou novamente com Ahaz, 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)
“Peça um sinal de Yahweh seu Deus; peça-o ou na profundidade, ou na altura acima”. (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 Ahaz disse: “Eu não vou perguntar. Eu não vou tentar Yahweh”.
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]?
Ele disse: “Escute agora, casa de David. Não é suficiente que você experimente a paciência dos homens, que você também experimente 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’].
Portanto, o próprio Senhor lhe dará um sinal. Eis que a virgem conceberá, e dará à luz um filho, e 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.
Ele comerá manteiga e mel quando souber recusar 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.
Pois antes que a criança saiba recusar o mal e escolher o bem, a terra cujos dois reis você abomina será abandonada.
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!”
Yahweh trará sobre você, sobre seu povo e sobre a casa de seu pai dias que não vieram, desde o dia em que Efraim partiu de Judá, até mesmo 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.
Acontecerá nesse dia que Javé assobiará pela mosca que está na parte mais alta dos rios do Egito, e pela abelha que está 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.
Elas virão, e todas descansarão nos vales desolados, nas fendas das rochas, em todas as sebes de espinhos, e em todos os pastos.
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 fará a barba com uma lâmina de barbear que é alugada nas partes além do rio, mesmo com o rei da Assíria, a cabeça e os cabelos dos pés; e também consumirá a barba.
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
Acontecerá naquele dia que um homem manterá viva 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.
Acontecerá que, por causa da abundância de leite que eles darão, ele comerá manteiga, pois todos comerão a manteiga e o mel que restar dentro 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.
Acontecerá naquele dia que cada lugar onde houvesse mil videiras no valor de mil siclos de prata, será para sarças e espinhos.
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].
As pessoas irão lá com flechas e com arco, porque toda a terra será para sarças e espinhos.
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].
Todas as colinas que foram cultivadas com a enxada, não virão para lá por medo de sarças e espinhos; mas será para o envio de bois, e para que as ovelhas pisem”.
