Isaiah 8
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Make a large signboard. And write clearly on it, ‘Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz’ [which means ‘quickly (plunder/take by force) and steal everything’].”
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.
2 [So] I requested Uriah the [Supreme] Priest and Jeberekiah’s son Zechariah, men who were both honest/trustworthy witnesses, to watch me as I was doing that.
Então tomei comigo fieis testemunhas, a Urias sacerdote, e a Zacharias, filho de Jeberechias,
3 Then I had sex with [EUP] [my wife, who was] a prophetess, and she became pregnant and [then] gave birth to a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (which means ‘suddenly attacked, quickly conquered’),
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.
4 because before he is old enough to say ‘papa’ or ‘mama’, the King of Assyria will [come with his army and] quickly take away all the valuable things in Damascus and in Samaria.”
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.
5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
E continuou o Senhor a fallar ainda comigo, dizendo:
6 ‘[I have taken good care of] you people, but you have rejected that, [thinking that] my help was very little, like [MET] the little canal through which water flows from the Gihon Spring into Jerusalem. Instead, you have been happy [to request help from] King Rezin and King Pekah.
Porquanto este povo desprezou as aguas de Siloé que correm brandamente, e com Resin e com o filho de Remalias se alegrou:
7 Therefore, I will cause the people of Judah to be attacked by [the powerful army of] the King of Assyria, which will be [like] a great flood from the [Euphrates] River. Their soldiers will [be everywhere in your country, like] a river that overflows all its banks.
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.
8 Those soldiers will go all over Judah— [like a river whose water] [MET] rises as high as a person’s neck. Their army will spread over the land [quickly], like an eagle, and they will cover your entire land! But I will be with you!’”
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.
9 Listen, all you [people in] distant countries! [You can] prepare to attack Judah. [You can] prepare [for battle, and shout your] war-cries, but your [armies will] be crushed/shattered!
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.
10 [You can] prepare for what you will do [to attack Judah], but what you plan to do will not happen! You will not succeed, because God is with us!
Tomae juntamente conselho, e será dissipado: dizei a palavra, porém não subsistirá, porque Deus é comnosco.
11 Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
Porque assim me disse o Senhor com mão forte, e me ensinou que não andasse pelo caminho d'este povo, dizendo:
12 “Do not say that everything that people do is conspiring/rebelling [against the government], like [other] people say, and do not (be afraid of/worry about) the things that other people are afraid of.
Não chameis conjuração, a tudo quanto este povo chama conjuração: e não temaes o seu temor, nem tão pouco vos assombreis.
13 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am the one you should consider to be holy. And I am the one you should fear, the one you should revere.
Ao Senhor dos Exercitos, a elle sanctificae: e seja elle o vosso temor e seja elle o vosso assombro.
14 I will protect you(sg). [But as for] the [other] people [MTY] in Israel and Judah, I will be [like] [MET] a stone that causes people to stumble, a rock that causes them to fall down. [And as for] the people of Jerusalem, I will be [like] [MET] a trap or a snare [DOU].
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.
15 Many [people] will stumble and fall down and never get up again. They will experience great troubles; they will be captured [by their enemies].”
E muitos tropeçarão entre elles, e cairão, e serão quebrantados, e enlaçados, e presos.
16 [So, I say to you who are my disciples], seal up this scroll on which I have written the messages that God has given to me, and give his instructions to [others] who have accompanied me.
Liga o testemunho, sella a lei entre os meus discipulos.
17 I will wait to see what Yahweh [will do]. He has rejected the descendants [MTY] of Jacob, but I will confidently expect him to help me.
E esperarei ao Senhor, que esconde o seu rosto da casa de Jacob, e a elle aguardarei.
18 I and the children that Yahweh has given to me are [like] signs to warn [the people of] Israel; we are warnings from the Commander of the armies of angels the one who lives [in his temple] on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem].
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.
19 Some people may urge you(pl) to (consult/go and talk with) those who talk with the spirits of dead people or with those who say that they receive messages from those spirits. They whisper and mutter [about what we should do in the future]. But God is [RHQ] the one whom we should ask to guide us! It is ridiculous [RHQ] for people who are alive to request spirits of dead people to tell us [what we should do]!
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?
20 Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, [what they say is worthless]. [It is as though] those people are in darkness.
Á Lei e ao Testemunho, que se elles não fallarem segundo esta palavra, nunca verão a alva.
21 They will wander through the land, worried/discouraged and hungry. And when they become [very] hungry, they will become very angry. They will look up [toward heaven] and curse God and [will also] curse their king.
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
22 They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
E, olhando para a terra, eis-que haverá angustia e escuridão, e serão entenebrecidos com ancia, e empuxados com escuridão.
