Isaías 19
1 Peso do Egito. Eis que o Senhor vem cavalgando numa nuvem ligeira, e virá ao Egito: e os ídolos do Egito serão movidos perante a sua face, e o coração dos egípcios se derreterá no meio deles.
[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 egípcios se levantem contra os egípcios, e cada um pelejará contra o seu irmão, e cada um contra o seu próximo, 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 espírito dos egípcios se esvaecerá no seu interior, e destruirei o seu conselho: então consultarão aos seus ídolos, e encantadores, e adivinhos e mágicos.
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 egípcios nas mãos de um senhor duro, e um rei rigoroso dominará sobre eles, diz o Senhor, o Senhor dos exércitos.
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 águas do mar, e o rio se esgotará e secará.
[Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].
6 Também aos rios farão apodrecer e os esgotarão e farão secar 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 às ribanceiras dos rios, e tudo o semeado junto ao rio, se secará, 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 águas desfalecerão.
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-ão os que trabalham em linho fino, e os que tecem pano 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 príncipes de Zoan, o conselho dos sábios conselheiros de faraó se embruteceu: como pois a faraó direis: Sou filho dos sábios, 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 sábios? notifiquem-te agora, ou informem-se sobre o que o Senhor dos exércitos determinou contra o Egito.
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 príncipes de Zoan, enganados estão os príncipes de Noph: eles farão errar o Egito, aqueles que são a pedra de esquina das suas tribos.
[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 dele um perverso espírito, e fizeram errar o Egito em toda a sua obra, como o bêbado quando se revolve no seu vômito.
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 Egito 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 Naquele tempo os egípcios serão como mulheres, e tremerão e temerão por causa do movimento da mão do Senhor dos exércitos, que há de mover contra eles.
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 Judá será um espanto para os egípcios, e quem disso fizer menção se assombrará de si mesmo, por causa do conselho do Senhor dos exércitos, que determinou contra eles.
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 Naquele tempo haverá cinco cidades na terra do Egito que falem a língua de Canaan e façam juramento ao Senhor dos exércitos: 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 Naquele tempo o Senhor terá um altar no meio da terra do Egito, e um título 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 sinal e de testemunho ao Senhor dos exércitos na terra do Egito, porque ao Senhor clamarão por causa dos opressores, e ele lhes enviará um redentor e um protetor, 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 egípcios, e os egípcios conhecerão ao Senhor naquele dia, e servirão com sacrifícios e ofertas, 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 egípcios, e os curará: e converter-se-ão ao Senhor, e mover-se-á às 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 Naquele dia haverá estrada do Egito até à Assyria, e os assyrios virão ao Egito, e os egípcios à Assyria: e os egípcios 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 Naquele dia Israel será o terceiro com os egípcios 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 exércitos os abençoará, dizendo: bendito seja o meu povo do Egito 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.”
