Isaías 19
1 Pezo do Egypto. Eis que o Senhor vem cavalgando n'uma nuvem ligeira, e virá ao Egypto: e os idolos do Egypto serão movidos perante a sua face, e o coração dos egypcios se derreterá no meio d'elles.
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Egypt: “Listen to this! I, Yahweh, am coming to Egypt, riding on a fast-moving cloud. The idols in Egypt will tremble when [I appear], and the people of Egypt will be extremely afraid [IDM].
2 Porque farei com que os egypcios se levantem contra os egypcios, e cada um pelejará contra o seu irmão, e cada um contra o seu proximo, cidade contra cidade, reino contra reino.
I will cause the people of Egypt to fight against each other: men will fight against their brothers, neighbors will fight against each other, people of one city will fight against the people of another city, people of one province will fight against the people of another province.
3 E o espirito dos egypcios se esvaecerá no seu interior, e destruirei o seu conselho: então consultarão aos seus idolos, e encantadores, e adivinhos e magicos.
The people of Egypt will become very discouraged, and I will cause their plans not to be successful. They will plead with idols and sorcerers and those who talk with spirits of dead people to tell them what they should do.
4 E entregarei os egypcios nas mãos de um senhor duro, e um rei rigoroso dominará sobre elles, diz o Senhor, o Senhor dos Exercitos.
Then I will enable someone who will treat them very cruelly to become their king [DOU].” That is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
5 E farão perecer as aguas do mar, e o rio se esgotará e seccará.
[Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].
6 Tambem aos rios farão apodrecer e os esgotarão e farão seccar as correntes das cavas: as canas e os juncos se murcharão.
The branches of the river will all dry up [DOU] The canals along the river will stink because of the rotting reeds and (bulrushes/tall grass).
7 A relva junto ao rio, junto ás ribanceiras dos rios, e tudo o semeado junto ao rio, se seccará, ao longe se lançará, e mais não subsistirá.
All the plants along the river and all the crops will dry up; then they will blow away and disappear.
8 E os pescadores gemerão, e suspirarão todos os que lançam anzol ao rio, e os que estendem rede sobre as aguas desfallecerão.
The fishermen will throw into the river lines with hooks on them and nets, and then they will groan and be very discouraged; they will be sad [because there will be no fish in the river].
9 E envergonhar-se-hão os que trabalham em linho fino, e os que tecem panno branco.
Those who weave cloth from flax will not know what to do, because there will be no thread for them to weave.
10 E juntamente com os seus fundamentos serão quebrantados todos os que fazem por pago viveiros de prazer.
They will all despair and be very discouraged.
11 Na verdade loucos são os principes de Zoan, o conselho dos sabios conselheiros de Pharaó se embruteceu: como pois a Pharaó direis: Sou filho dos sabios, filho dos antigos reis?
The officials in Zoan [city in northern Egypt] are foolish. The advice that they gave to the king was worthless. Why do they continue to tell the king that they are wise, that they are descendants of wise kings who lived long ago [RHQ]?
12 Onde estão agora os teus sabios? notifiquem-te agora, ou informem-se sobre o que o Senhor dos Exercitos determinou contra o Egypto.
King, (where are your wise counselors now?/You have no wise counselors now!) [RHQ] If you had any wise counselors, they could tell you what the Commander of the armies of angels has planned to do to Egypt [SAR]!
13 Loucos se tornaram os principes de Zoan, enganados estão os principes de Noph: elles farão errar o Egypto, aquelles que são a pedra de esquina das suas tribus.
[Yes], the officials of Zoan have become foolish, and the leaders in Memphis [city in northern Egypt] have deceived themselves. [All] leaders of the people have (caused their people to do wrong things/led their people astray).
14 Já o Senhor derramou no meio d'elle um perverso espirito, e fizeram errar o Egypto em toda a sua obra, como o bebado quando se revolve no seu vomito.
Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish, with the result that in everything that they do, [it is as though the people of] Egypt stagger like [SIM] a drunken person staggers [and slips] in his own vomit.
15 E não aproveitará ao Egypto obra nenhuma que possa fazer a cabeça, a cauda, o ramo, ou o junco.
There is no one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unimportant, [who will be able to help them].
16 N'aquelle tempo os egypcios serão como mulheres, e tremerão e temerão por causa do movimento da mão do Senhor dos Exercitos, que ha de mover contra elles.
At that time, the people of Egypt will be [as helpless] as [SIM] women. They will tremble, being terrified [because they know that] the Commander of the armies of angels has raised his fist, [ready to strike/punish them].
17 E a terra de Judah será um espanto para os egypcios, e quem d'isso fizer menção se assombrará de si mesmo, por causa do conselho do Senhor dos Exercitos, que determinou contra elles.
The people of Egypt will be afraid of the people of Judah, and anyone who mentions Judah to them will cause them to be terrified, because [that will remind them] of what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, is planning to do to them.
18 N'aquelle tempo haverá cinco cidades na terra do Egypto que fallem a lingua de Canaan e façam juramento ao Senhor dos Exercitos: e uma se chamará: Cidade de destruição.
At that time, [people in] five cities in Egypt will solemnly declare that they will serve Yahweh. They will [learn to] speak the Hebrew language. One of those cities will be called ‘City of the Sun’.
19 N'aquelle tempo o Senhor terá um altar no meio da terra do Egypto, e um titulo ao Senhor, arvorado junto do seu termo.
At that time, there will be an altar for worshiping Yahweh in the center of Egypt, and there will be a (pillar/large rock) to honor Yahweh at the border [between Egypt and Israel].
20 E servirá de signal e de testemunho ao Senhor dos Exercitos na terra do Egypto, porque ao Senhor clamarão por causa dos oppressores, e elle lhes enviará um Redemptor e um Protector, que os livre.
That will be a sign to indicate that the Commander of the armies of angels is worshiped in the land of Egypt. And when the people cry out to Yahweh to help them because others are (oppressing them/causing them to suffer), he will send to them someone who will defend and rescue them.
21 E o Senhor se fará conhecer aos egypcios, e os egypcios conhecerão ao Senhor n'aquelle dia, e servirão com sacrificios e offertas, e votarão votos ao Senhor, e os pagarão.
Yahweh will enable the people of Egypt to know who he is, and at that time they will have a close relationship with Yahweh and worship him and bring to him offerings of grain and other sacrifices. They will solemnly promise to do things for Yahweh, and they will do what they promise.
22 E ferirá o Senhor aos egypcios, e os curará: e converter-se-hão ao Senhor, e mover-se-ha ás suas orações, e os curará;
After Yahweh has punished Egypt, he will cause their troubles to end. The people of Egypt will turn to Yahweh, and he will listen when they plead to him [for help], and he will cause their troubles to cease.
23 N'aquelle dia haverá estrada do Egypto até á Assyria, e os assyrios virão ao Egypto, e os egypcios á Assyria: e os egypcios servirão com os assyrios ao Senhor.
At that time, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. [As a result], the people of Egypt will [be able to] travel [easily] to Assyria, and the people of Assyria [will be able to travel easily] to Egypt. And the people of both countries will worship [Yahweh].
24 N'aquelle dia Israel será o terceiro com os egypcios e os assyrios, uma benção no meio da terra.
And Israel will be their ally. All three nations will be [friendly to] each other, and the people of Israel will be a blessing to the people of the entire world.
25 Porque o Senhor dos Exercitos os abençoará, dizendo: Bemdito seja o meu povo do Egypto e Assyria, a obra de minhas mãos, e Israel a minha herança.
The Commander of the armies of angels will bless them, saying, “[You people of] Egypt are now my people. You people of Assyria, I have established your country. You people of Israel are the people whom I have chosen to belong to me.”
