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 happened that, when king Hezekiah had heard this, he rent his garments, and he wrapped himself in sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
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 house, and Shebna, the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet.
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 tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. For the sons have arrived at the time for birth, but there is not enough strength to bring them 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.
Perhaps, somehow, the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayers on behalf of the remnant which has been left behind.”
5 E os servos do rei Ezequias vieram a Isaias.
And so the servants of king Hezekiah went 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: “You shall say this to your lord: Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid to face the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians 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 send a spirit to him, and he will hear a message, and he will 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.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had set out 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 from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia: “He has gone forth so that he may fight against you.” And when he had heard this, 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.
“You shall say this to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, saying: Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying: ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Eis que já tens ouvido o que fizeram os reis da Assyria a todas as terras, destruindo-as totalmente: e escaparias tu?
Behold, you have heard about all that the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands that they have conquered, and so, how can you 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 rescued those whom my fathers have conquered: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were at 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, or the king of the city of Sepharvaim, or 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 letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it out in the sight of the Lord.
15 E orou Ezequias ao Senhor, dizendo:
And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, 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 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel who sits upon the Cherubim: you alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You 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.
O Lord, incline your ear and listen. O Lord, open your eyes and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to blaspheme the living God.
18 Verdade é, Senhor, que os reis da Assyria assolaram todas as terras, com as suas comarcas,
For truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste to countries and territories.
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 they have cast their gods into the fire. For these were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and of stone. And they broke them into pieces.
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.
And now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand. And let all the kingdoms of the earth acknowledge that you alone are Lord.”
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,
And Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because of what you have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians,
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 that the Lord has spoken over him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and mocked you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
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 you insulted? And whom have you blasphemed? And against whom have you lifted up your voice and raised up your eyes on high? 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 the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord. And you have said: ‘With a multitude of my four-horse chariots, I have ascended the heights of the mountains adjoining Lebanon. And I will cut down its lofty cedars and its choice pine trees. And I will reach the top of its summit, to the forest of its Carmel.
25 Eu cavei, e bebi as aguas; e com as plantas de meus pés sequei todos os rios do Egypto.
I dug deep, and I drank water, and I dried up all the river banks with the sole of my foot.’
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 you not heard what I have done to it in past times? In ancient times, I formed it. And now I have brought it forth. And it has been made so that the hills and the fortified cities would fight together, unto its destruction.
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.
Their inhabitants had unsteady hands. They trembled and were confused. They became like the plants of the field, and the grass of the pastures, and like the weeds on the rooftops, which wither before they are mature.
28 Porém eu sei o teu assentar, e o teu sair, e o teu entrar, e o teu furor contra mim.
I know your habitation, and your arrival, and your departure, and your madness 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.
When you became angry against me, your arrogance rose up to my ears. Therefore, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will turn you back on the road by which you arrived.
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.
But this shall be a sign for you: Eat, in this year, whatever springs up on its own. And in the second year, eat fruits. But in the third year, sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
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 what will be saved from the house of Judah, and what is left behind, will form deep roots, and will bear high fruits.
32 Porque de Jerusalem sairá o restante, e do monte de Sião o que escapou: o zelo do Senhor dos Exercitos fará isto.
For from Jerusalem, a remnant shall go forth, and salvation from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish 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.
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He will not enter this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with a shield, nor dig a rampart all around it.
34 Pelo caminho por onde vier, por esse voltará; porém n'esta cidade não entrará, diz o Senhor.
He will return on the road by which he arrived. And into this city, he will not enter, says the Lord.
35 Porque eu ampararei a esta cidade, para a livrar, por amor de mim e por amor do meu servo David.
And I will protect this city, so that I may save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David, my servant.”
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.
Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold, all these were dead bodies.
37 Assim Senacherib, rei da Assyria, se retirou, e se foi, e voltou, e se ficou em Ninive.
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, departed and went away. And he returned and lived 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 happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
