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.
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore 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.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the cohanim, 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.
They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
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.
It may be the LORD your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
5 E os servos do rei Ezequias vieram a Isaias.
So 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.
Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants 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.
Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. 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.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had 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:
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Look, he has come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again to 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 you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given 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?
Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you 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 delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden that were in Telassar?
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 Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, 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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it 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.
Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and 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.
Incline your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy 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 laid waste the nations and their lands,
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 have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
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.
Now therefore, the LORD our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, LORD, are God 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 Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.
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 has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
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 have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your 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 your messengers you have defied the LORD, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
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 with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.'
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.
Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
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.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
27 Porém o teu assentar, e o teu sair, e o teu entrar, eu o sei, e o teu furor contra mim.
But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your 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 your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came."
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.
"'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its 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.
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take 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 a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. 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 says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Pelo caminho por onde vier por elle voltará; porém n'esta cidade não entrará, diz o Senhor.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says the LORD.
34 Porque eu ampararei a esta cidade, para a livrar, por amor de mim e por amor do meu servo David.
'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
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.
It happened that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
36 Então Sanherib, rei d'Assyria, partiu, e se foi, e voltou: e ficou em Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived 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.
It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
