Isaías 8
1 Disse-me tambem o Senhor: Toma um grande volume, e escreve n'elle em estylo de homem: Apressando-se ao despojo, apressurou-se á preza.
And the Lord said to me, Take to yourself a volume of a great new [book], and write in it with a man's pen concerning the making a rapid plunder of spoils; for it is near at hand.
2 Então tomei comigo fieis testemunhas, a Urias sacerdote, e a Zacharias, filho de Jeberechias,
And make me witnesses [of] faithful men, Urias, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
3 E cheguei-me á prophetiza, a qual concebeu, e pariu um filho; e o Senhor me disse: Chama o seu nome Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
And I went in to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me, Call his name, Spoil quickly, plunder speedily.
4 Porque antes que o menino saiba chamar pae meu, ou mãe minha, se levarão as riquezas de Damasco, e os despojos de Samaria, diante do rei da Assyria.
For before the child shall know [how] to call [his] father or [his] mother, [one] shall take the power of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria before the king of the Assyrians.
5 E continuou o Senhor a fallar ainda comigo, dizendo:
And the Lord spoke to me yet again, [saying],
6 Porquanto este povo desprezou as aguas de Siloé que correm brandamente, e com Resin e com o filho de Remalias se alegrou:
Because this people chooses not the water of Siloam that goes softly, but wills to have Rassin, and the son of Romelias [to be] king over you;
7 Portanto eis que o Senhor fará subir sobre elles as aguas do rio, fortes e impetuosas, ao rei da Assyria, com toda a sua gloria, e subirá acima sobre todos os seus leitos, e trasbordará por todas as suas ribanceiras.
therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon you the water of the river, strong and abundant, [even] the king of the Assyrians, and his glory: and he shall come up over every valley of yours, and shall walk over every wall of yours:
8 E passará a Judah, inundando-a, e irá passando por elle e chegará até ao pescoço: e a extensão de suas azas encherá a largura da tua terra, ó Emmanuel.
and he shall take away from Juda [every] man who shall be able to lift up his head, [and every one] able to accomplish anything; and his camp shall fill the breadth of your land, [O] God with us.
9 Ajuntae-vos em companhia, ó povos, e quebrantae-vos; e dae ouvidos, todos os que sois de longes terras, cingi-vos e sêde feitos em pedaços, cingi-vos e sêde feitos em pedaços.
Know, you Gentiles, and be conquered; listen you, even to the extremity of the earth: be conquered, after you strengthened yourselves; for even if you should again strengthen yourselves, you shall again be conquered.
10 Tomae juntamente conselho, e será dissipado: dizei a palavra, porém não subsistirá, porque Deus é comnosco.
And whatever counsel you shall take, the Lord shall bring it to nothing; and whatever word you shall speak, it shall not stand among you: for God is with us.
11 Porque assim me disse o Senhor com mão forte, e me ensinou que não andasse pelo caminho d'este povo, dizendo:
Thus says the Lord, With a strong hand they revolt from the course of the way of this people, saying,
12 Não chameis conjuração, a tudo quanto este povo chama conjuração: e não temaes o seu temor, nem tão pouco vos assombreis.
Let them not say, [It is] hard, for whatever this people says, is hard: but fear not you their fear, neither be dismayed.
13 Ao Senhor dos Exercitos, a elle sanctificae: e seja elle o vosso temor e seja elle o vosso assombro.
Sanctify you the Lord himself; and he shall be your fear.
14 Então elle vos será por sanctuario, mas por pedra d'escandalo, e por penha de tropeço, ás duas casas d'Israel, por laço e rede aos moradores de Jerusalem.
And if you shall trust in him, he shall be to you for a sanctuary; and you shall not come against [him] as against a stumbling-stone, neither as against the falling of a rock: but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and the dwellers in Jerusalem in a pit.
15 E muitos tropeçarão entre elles, e cairão, e serão quebrantados, e enlaçados, e presos.
Therefore many among them shall be weak, and fall, and be crushed; and they shall draw near, and men shall be taken securely.
16 Liga o testemunho, sella a lei entre os meus discipulos.
Then shall those who seal themselves that they may not learn the law be made manifest.
17 E esperarei ao Senhor, que esconde o seu rosto da casa de Jacob, e a elle aguardarei.
And [one] shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
18 Eis-me aqui e os filhos que me deu o Senhor, por signaes e por maravilhas em Israel, da parte do Senhor dos Exercitos, que habita no monte de Sião.
Behold I and the children which God has given me: and they shall be [for] signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in mount Sion.
19 Quando pois vos disserem: Consultae os adivinhos e os encantadores, e que, chilrando entre dentes, murmuram: Porventura não perguntará o povo a seu Deus? ou perguntar-se-ha pelos vivos aos mortos?
And if they should say to you, Seek those who have in them a divining spirit, and them that speak out of the earth, them that speak vain words, who speak out of their belly: shall not a nation diligently seek to their God? why do they seek to the dead concerning the living?
20 Á Lei e ao Testemunho, que se elles não fallarem segundo esta palavra, nunca verão a alva.
For he has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.
21 E passarão pela terra duramente opprimidos e famintos: e será que, tendo fome, e enfurecendo-se, então amaldiçoarão ao seu rei e ao seu Deus, olhando para cima
And famine shall come sorely upon you, and it shall come to pass, [that] when you shall be hungry, you shall be grieved, and you shall speak ill of the prince and your fathers' ordinances: and they shall look up to heaven above,
22 E, olhando para a terra, eis-que haverá angustia e escuridão, e serão entenebrecidos com ancia, e empuxados com escuridão.
and they shall look on the earth below, and behold severe distress, and darkness, affliction, and anguish, and darkness so that [one can’t] see; and he that is in anguish shall not be distressed only for a time.
