2 Reis 19
1 E aconteceu que Ezequias, tendo-o ouvido, rasgou os seus vestidos, e se cubriu de sacco, e entrou na casa do Senhor.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
2 Então enviou a Eliakim, o mordomo, e a Sebna, o escrivão, e os anciãos dos sacerdotes, cobertos de saccos, ao propheta Isaias, filho de Amós.
And he sent Elyakim, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 E disseram-lhe: Assim diz Ezequias: Este dia é dia de angustia, e de vituperação, e de blasphemia; porque os filhos chegaram ao parto, e não ha força para parir.
And they said unto him, Thus hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and derision is this day; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Bem pode ser que o Senhor teu Deus ouça todas as palavras de Rabsaké, a quem enviou o seu senhor, o rei da Assyria, para affrontar o Deus vivo, e para vituperal-o com as palavras que o Senhor teu Deus tem ouvido: faze pois oração pelo resto que se acha.
Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God; and who hath reproached with the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up a prayer in behalf of the remnant that is still found here.
5 E os servos do rei Ezequias vieram a Isaias.
And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 E Isaias lhes disse: Assim direis a vosso senhor: Assim diz o Senhor: Não temas as palavras que ouviste, com as quaes os servos do rei da Assyria me blasphemaram.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus hath said the Lord, Be not afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, with which the boys of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Eis que metterei n'elle um espirito, e elle ouvirá um arroido, e vol- tará para a sua terra: á espada o farei cair na sua terra.
Behold, I will put an [other] spirit in him, that when he will hear a rumor, he shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Voltou pois Rabsaké, e achou o rei da Assyria pelejando contra Libna, porque tinha ouvido que se havia partido de Lachis.
And Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 E, ouvindo elle dizer de Tirhaká, rei de Cus: Eis que ha saido para te fazer guerra; tornou a enviar mensageiros a Ezequias, dizendo:
And he heard it said of Thirhakah the king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight with thee; and he again sent messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 Assim fallareis a Ezequias, rei de Judah, dizendo: Não te engane o teu Deus, em quem confias, dizendo: Jerusalem não será entregue na mão do rei d'Assyria.
Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, as followeth, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Eis que já tens ouvido o que fizeram os reis da Assyria a todas as terras, destruindo-as totalmente, e tu te livrarás?
Behold, thou thyself hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, by destroying them utterly: and thou alone shouldst be delivered?
12 Porventura as livraram os deuses das nações, a quem destruiram, como a Gozan e a Haran? e a Reseph, e aos filhos de Eden, que estavam em Telassar?
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them; as Gozan, and Charan, and Rezeph, and the children of 'Eden, who were in Thelassar?
13 Que é feito do rei de Hamath, e do rei de Arpad, e do rei da cidade de Sepharvaim, Hena e Iva?
Where is the king of Chamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvayim, of Hena', and 'Ivvah?
14 Recebendo pois Ezequias as cartas das mãos dos mensageiros, e lendo-as, subiu á casa do Senhor, e Ezequias as estendeu perante o Senhor.
And Hezekiah took the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and read them: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread them out before the Lord.
15 E orou Ezequias perante o Senhor, e disse: Ó Senhor Deus de Israel, que habitas entre os cherubins, tu mesmo, só tu és Deus de todos os reinos da terra: tu fizeste os céus e a terra.
And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the [true] God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who hast made the heavens and the earth.
16 Inclina, Senhor, o teu ouvido, e ouve; abre, Senhor, os teus olhos, e olha: e ouve as palavras de Sanherib, que enviou a este, para affrontar o Deus vivo.
Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear! open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see! and hear the words of Sennacherib, that which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
17 Verdade é, ó Senhor, que os reis da Assyria assolaram as nações e as suas terras,
Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their land,
18 E lançaram os seus deuses no fogo; porquanto deuses não eram, mas obra de mãos de homens, madeira e pedra; por isso os destruiram.
And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man's hands, wood and stone: and these have they destroyed.
19 Agora pois, ó Senhor nosso Deus, sê servido de nos livrar da sua mão: e assim saberão todos os reinos da terra que só tu és o Senhor Deus.
And now, O Lord our God, save us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, thou alone.
20 Então Isaias, filho de Amós, mandou dizer a Ezequias: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: O que me pediste ácerca de Sanherib, rei da Assyria, ouvi.
Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz to Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, What thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria have I heard.
21 Esta é a palavra que o Senhor fallou d'elle: A virgem, a filha de Sião, te despreza, de ti zomba; a filha de Jerusalem menea a cabeça por detraz de ti
This is the word that the Lord hath spoken over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind thee shaketh her head the daughter of Jerusalem.
22 A quem affrontaste e blasphemaste? E contra quem alçaste a voz, e ergueste os teus olhos ao alto? Contra o Sancto de Israel?
Whom hast thou blasphemed, and [whom] hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the Holy One of Israel.
23 Por meio de teus mensageiros affrontaste o Senhor, e disseste: Com a multidão de meus carros subo eu ao alto dos montes, aos lados do Libano, e cortarei os seus altos cedros, e as suas mais formosas faias, e entrarei nas suas pousadas extremas, até no bosque do seu campo fertil.
By thy messengers thou hast blasphemed the Lord and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir-trees: and I will enter into the lodgings on its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil.
24 Eu cavei, e bebi aguas estranhas; e com as plantas de meus pés sequei todos os rios dos logares fortes.
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places.
25 Porventura não ouviste que já d'antes fiz isto, e já desde os dias antigos o formei? agora porém o fiz vir, para que fosses tu que reduzisses as cidades fortes a montões desertos.
Hadst thou not heard that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass, to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities.
26 Por isso os moradores d'ellas, com as mãos encolhidas, ficaram pasmados e confundidos: eram como a herva do campo, e a hortaliça verde, e o feno dos telhados, e o trigo queimado, antes que se levante.
And thus their inhabitants were short of power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth.
27 Porém o teu assentar, e o teu sair, e o teu entrar, eu o sei, e o teu furor contra mim.
But thy abiding and thy going out and thy coming in do I know, and thy raging against me.
28 Por causa do teu furor contra mim, e porque a tua revolta subiu aos meus ouvidos; portanto porei o meu anzol no teu nariz, e o meu freio nos teus beiços, e te farei voltar pelo caminho por onde vieste.
Because of thy raging against me and thy tumult that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips; and I will cause thee to turn back on the way by which thou camest.
29 E isto te será por signal: este anno se comerá o que nascer por si mesmo, e no anno seguinte o que d'ahi proceder; porém o terceiro anno semeae e segae, e plantae vinhas, e comei os seus fructos.
And this shall be unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth up after the same; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
30 Porque o que escapou da casa de Judah, e ficou de resto, tornará a lançar raizes para baixo, e dará fructo para cima.
And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet again strike root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Porque de Jerusalem sairá o restante, e do monte de Sião o que escapou: o zelo do Senhor fará isto.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which escapeth out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
32 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor ácerca do rei d'Assyria: Não entrará n'esta cidade, nem lançará n'ella frecha alguma: tão pouco virá perante ella com escudo, nem levantará contra ella tranqueira alguma.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shield, nor cast up against it an embankment.
33 Pelo caminho por onde vier por elle voltará; porém n'esta cidade não entrará, diz o Senhor.
On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord.
34 Porque eu ampararei a esta cidade, para a livrar, por amor de mim e por amor do meu servo David.
And I will shield this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
35 Succedeu pois que n'aquella mesma noite saiu o anjo do Senhor, e feriu no arraial dos assyrios a cento e oitenta e cinco mil d'elles; e, levantando-se pela manhã cedo, eis que todos eram corpos mortos.
And it came to pass, on the same night, that an angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred eighty and five thousand men: and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 Então Sanherib, rei d'Assyria, partiu, e se foi, e voltou: e ficou em Ninive.
And Sennacherib the king of Assyria then departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 E succedeu que, estando elle prostrado na casa de Nisroch, seu deus, Adram-melech e Sarezer, seus filhos, o feriram á espada; porém elles escaparam para a terra d'Ararat: e Esar-haddon, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
And it came to pass, as he was prostrating himself in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Essar-chaddon his son became king in his stead.
