< Isaías 37 >
1 E aconteceu que, tendo-o ouvido o rei Ezequias, rasgou os seus vestidos, e se cobriu de sacco, e entrou na casa do Senhor.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Então enviou a Eliakim, o mordomo, e a Sebna, o escrivão, e aos anciãos dos sacerdotes, cobertos de saccos, a Isaias, filho d'Amós, o propheta.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna 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 d'angustia e de vituperação, e de blasphemias; porque chegados são os filhos ao parto, e força não ha para parir
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, for the sons have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Porventura o Senhor teu Deus ouvirá 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 oração pelo resto que ainda se acha.
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up thy 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 á vista das palavras que ouviste, com as quaes os servos do rei da Assyria me blasphemaram.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou 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 voltará para a sua terra; e fal-o-hei cair morto á espada na sua terra.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and 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 ao rei da Assyria pelejando contra Libna; porque ouvira que já se havia retirado de Lachis.
So 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 que Tirhaká, rei da Ethiopia, tinha saido para lhe fazer guerra, assim como o ouviu, tornou a enviar mensageiros a Ezequias, dizendo:
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers 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 da Assyria.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trust deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall 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 escaparias tu?
Behold, thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. And shall thou be delivered?
12 Porventura as livraram os deuses das nações ás quaes meus paes destruiram, como a Gozan, e a Haran, e a Reseph, e aos filhos d'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 sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Onde está o rei d'Hamath, e o rei d'Arpad, e o 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.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. And Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 E orou Ezequias ao Senhor, dizendo:
And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
16 Ó Senhor dos Exercitos, Deus d'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.
O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, thou are the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou have made heaven and earth.
17 Inclina, ó Senhor, o teu ouvido, e ouve: abre, Senhor, os teus olhos, e olha; e ouve todas as palavras de Senacherib, o qual enviou para affrontar o Deus vivo.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear. Open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18 Verdade é, Senhor, que os reis da Assyria assolaram todas as terras, com as suas comarcas,
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
19 E lançaram no fogo os seus deuses; porque deuses não eram, senão obra de mãos d'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.
20 Agora pois, ó Senhor nosso Deus, livra-nos da sua mão; e assim saberão todos os reinos da terra, que só tu és o Senhor.
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou are Jehovah, even thou only.
21 Então Isaias, filho d'Amós, mandou dizer a Ezequias: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus d'Israel: Quanto ao que me pediste ácerca de Senacherib, rei da Assyria,
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 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 which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
23 A quem affrontaste e blasphemaste? e contra quem alçaste a voz, e ergueste os teus olhos ao alto? Contra o Sancto d'Israel.
Whom have thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom have thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Por meio de teus servos affrontaste o Senhor, e disseste: Com a multidão dos meus carros subi eu aos cumes dos montes, aos lados do Libano; e cortarei os seus altos cedros e as suas faias escolhidas, e entrarei na altura do seu cume, ao bosque do seu campo fertil.
By thy servants thou 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 the tall cedars of it, and the choice fir trees of it, and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Eu cavei, e bebi as aguas; e com as plantas de meus pés sequei todos os rios do Egypto.
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
26 Porventura não ouviste que já muito d'antes eu fiz isto, e já desde os dias antigos o formei? agora porém o fiz vir, para que tu fosses o que destruisses as cidades fortes, e as reduzisses a montões assolados.
Have thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Por isso os seus moradores, com as mãos caidas, andaram atemorisados e envergonhados: eram como a herva do campo, e a hortaliça verde, e o feno dos telhados, e o trigo queimado antes da seara.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb. As the grass on the housetops, and as a field of grain before it is grown up.
28 Porém eu sei o teu assentar, e o teu sair, e o teu entrar, e o teu furor contra mim.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
29 Por causa do teu furor contra mim, e porque o teu tumulto subiu até aos meus ouvidos, portanto porei o meu anzol no seu nariz e o meu freio nos teus beiços, e te farei voltar pelo caminho por onde vieste.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou came.
30 E isto te seja por signal, que este anno se comerá o que de si mesmo nascer, e no segundo anno o que d'ahi proceder: porém no terceiro anno semeae e segae, e plantae vinhas, e comei os fructos d'ellas.
And this shall be the sign to thee. Ye 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 ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of it.
31 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 that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Porque de Jerusalem sairá o restante, e do monte de Sião o que escapou: o zelo do Senhor dos Exercitos fará isto.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 Pelo que assim diz o Senhor ácerca do rei da 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 Jehovah 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.
34 Pelo caminho por onde vier, por esse voltará; porém n'esta cidade não entrará, diz o Senhor.
By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city, says Jehovah.
35 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.
36 Então 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 tudo eram corpos mortos.
And the agent of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Assim Senacherib, rei da Assyria, se retirou, e se foi, e voltou, e se ficou em Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 E succedeu que, estando elle prostrado na casa de Nisroch, seu deus, Adramelech e Sarezer, seus filhos, o feriram á espada; porém elles se escaparam para a terra d'Ararat, e Esarhaddon, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
And it came to pass, as he was worshiping 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 Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
