Isaiah 22
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Jerusalem, about the valley where [Yahweh showed me] this vision. Why is everyone foolishly running up to their [flat] rooftops?
Peso do vale da visão. Que tens agora, que toda tu subiste aos telhados?
2 Everyone in the city [seems to] be shouting. [There are a lot of] corpses [in the city], [but they] were not killed by [their enemies’] swords. They did not die in battles; [instead, they died from diseases and hunger].
Tu, cheia de arroídos, cidade turbulenta, cidade que salta de alegria, os teus mortos não foram mortos à espada, nem morreram na guerra.
3 All the leaders of the city fled. [But then] they were captured because they did not have bows [and arrows to defend themselves]. Your [soldiers tried to] flee while the enemy [army] was still far away, but they also were captured.
Todos os teus príncipes juntamente fugiram, os flecheiros os amarraram: todos os que em ti se acharam, foram amarrados juntamente, e fugiram de longe.
4 That is why I said, “Allow me to cry alone; do not try to comfort me [about my people being slaughtered].”
Portanto digo: virai de mim a vista, e chorarei amargamente: não vos canceis mais em consolar-me pela destruição da filha do meu povo.
5 The Commander of the armies of angels has [chosen] a time when there will be a great uproar, [soldiers] marching, and people being terrified in the valley [where I received this] vision. [It will be a time when our city] walls will be battered down and [the people’s] cries [for help] will be heard in the mountains.
Porque é um dia do alvoroço, e de atropelamento, e de confusão da parte do Senhor Jehovah dos exércitos, no vale da visão: dia de derribar o muro e de gritar até ao monte.
6 The armies from Elam and Kir [in Media] will attack, driving chariots and carrying shields.
Porque já Elam tomou a aljava, já o homem está no carro, também há cavaleiros: e Kir descobre os escudos.
7 Our beautiful valleys will be filled with [our enemies’] chariots and the men who drive the chariots will stand outside [our city] gates.
E será que os teus mais formosos vales se encherão de carros, e os cavaleiros se porão em ordem às portas.
8 The walls that protect [the cities in] Judah will fall down. You [people of Jerusalem] will run to get the weapons [that are stored in the building called] “the Hall of the Forest”.
E descobrirá a coberta de Judá, e naquele dia olharás para as armas da casa do bosque.
9 You will see that there are many breaks/holes in the walls of Jerusalem. You will store water in the lower pool [in the city].
E vereis as roturas da cidade de David, porquanto já são muitas, e ajuntareis as águas do viveiro de baixo.
10 You will inspect the houses in Jerusalem, and [some of] them you will tear down to use the stones to repair the [city] wall.
Também contareis as casas de Jerusalém, e derribareis as casas, para fortalecer os muros.
11 Between the walls [of the city] you will build a reservoir to [store] water from the old pool. But you will never request help from the one who made the city; you have never depended on Yahweh, who planned this city long ago.
Fareis também uma cova entre ambos os muros para as águas do viveiro velho, porém não olhastes acima para o que fez isto, nem considerastes o que o formou desde a antiguidade.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels told you to weep and mourn; he told you to shave your heads and to wear rough sackcloth to show that you were sorry for the sins that you had committed.
E o Senhor, o Senhor dos exércitos chamará naquele dia ao choro, e ao pranto, e à rapadura da cabeça, e ao cingidouro do saco.
13 But instead of doing that, you were happy and celebrating; you slaughtered cattle and sheep, [in order to cook their] meat and eat it and drink wine. You said, “Let’s eat and drink [all that we want to], because [it is possible that] we will die tomorrow!”
Porém eis aqui gozo e alegria, matando-se vacas e degolando-se ovelhas, comendo-se carne, e bebendo-se vinho, e dizendo-se: Comamos e bebamos, porque amanhã morreremos.
14 [So] the Commander of the armies of angels revealed this to me: “I will never forgive my people for sinning like this!”
Mas o Senhor dos exércitos se manifestou nos meus ouvidos, dizendo: Vivo eu, que esta maldade não vos será perdoada até que morrais, diz o Senhor Jehovah dos exércitos.
15 The Commander of the armies of angels said this [to me]: “Go to Shebna, the official who supervises the workers in the palace, and give this message to him:
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah dos exércitos: Anda e vai-te com este tesoureiro, com Sebna, o mordomo, e dize-lhe:
16 '[Who do you think you are?] Who gave you the authority to build a beautiful tomb where you will be buried, chiseling it out of the rocky cliff high above this valley?
Que é o que tens aqui? ou a quem tens tu aqui, que te lavrasses aqui sepultura? como o que lavra em lugar alto a sua sepultura e debuxa na penha uma morada para si.
17 You [think that you are] [IRO] a great man, but Yahweh is about to hurl you away. [It will be as though] he will seize you,
Eis que o Senhor daqui te transportará do transporte de varão, e de todo te cobrirá.
18 and roll/crumple you into a ball and throw you away into a large distant land. You will die [and be buried] there, and your beautiful chariots will stay there [in the hands of your enemies]. And [because of what happens to you], your master, [the king], will be [very] ashamed/disgraced.
Certamente te fará rodar, como se faz rodar a bola em terra larga e espaçosa: ali morrerás, e ali acabarão os carros da tua glória, ó opróbrio da casa do teu Senhor.
19 Yahweh will force you to quit working in the palace; you will be demoted from your important position.
E rejeitar-te-ei do teu estado, e te repuxará do teu assento.
20 Then I will summon Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who has served serve me [well], to replace you.
E será naquele dia que chamarei a meu servo Eliakim filho d'Hilkias.
21 I will allow him to wear your robe, and to fasten your sash around him, and I will give to him the authority that you had. He will be like [MET] a father to the people of Jerusalem and [all the other] towns in Judah.
E vesti-lo-ei da tua túnica, e esforça-lo-ei com o teu talabarte, e entregarei nas suas mãos o teu domínio, e será como pai para os moradores de Jerusalém, e para a casa de Judá.
22 I will give to him authority [MTY] over [what happens in] the palace where King David [lived]; when he decides something [MET], no one will be able to oppose it; when he refuses to do something, no one will be able to force him to do it.
E porei a chave da casa de David sobre o seu ombro, e abrirá, e ninguém fechará, e fechará, e ninguém abrirá.
23 I will cause his family to be greatly respected, because I will put him firmly in his position [as supervisor of the workers in the palace], like [SIM] a nail that is firmly hammered into a wall.
E prega-lo-ei como a um prego num lugar firme, e será como um trono de honra para a casa de seu pai.
24 Others will enable him to have much responsibility, with the result that all the members of his family, even the most insignificant ones, will be honored.'”
E nele pendurarão toda a honra da casa de seu pai, dos renovos e dos descendentes, como também todos os vasos menores, desde os vasos das taças até todos os vasos dos odres.
25 [But] the Commander of the armies of angels also says, “[Shebna is like] [MET] a peg that is firmly fastened to the wall. But there will be a time when I will [remove him from his position]; he will lose his power/influence, and everything that he promoted [MET] will fail. [That will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o prego pregado em lugar firme será tirado: e será cortado, e cairá, e a carga que nele está se cortará, porque o Senhor o disse.
