< Isaiah 57 >

1 The upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace.
Perece o justo, e não ha quem considere n'isso em seu coração, e os homens compassivos são recolhidos, sem que alguem considere que o justo é recolhido antes do mal.
2 They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him.
Entrará em paz: descançarão nas suas camas, os que houverem andado na sua rectidão.
3 But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.
Porém chegae-vos aqui, vós os filhos da agoureira, semente adulterina, e que commetteis fornicação.
4 Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,
De quem fazeis o vosso passatempo? contra quem alargaes a bocca, e deitaes para fóra a lingua? porventura não sois filhos da transgressão, semente da falsidade,
5 You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks of the rocks?
Que vos esquentaes com os deuses debaixo de toda a arvore verde, e sacrificaes os filhos nos ribeiros, debaixo dos cantos dos penhascos?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?
Nas pedras lisas dos ribeiros está a tua parte; estas, estas são a tua sorte; a estas tambem derramas a tua libação, e lhes offereces offertas: contentar-me-hia eu d'estas coisas?
7 You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering.
Sobre os montes altos e levantados pões a tua cama; e lá sobes para sacrificar sacrificios.
8 And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it
E detraz das portas e dos umbraes pões os teus memoriaes; porque, desviando-te de mim, a outros te descobres, e sobes, alargas a tua cama, e fazes concerto com alguns d'elles: amas a sua cama, onde quer que a vês.
9 And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
E vaes ao rei com oleo, e multiplicas os teus perfumes; e envias os teus embaixadores para longe, e te abates até aos infernos. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.
Na tua comprida viagem te cançaste; porém não dizes: É coisa desesperada: o que buscavas achaste; por isso não adoeces.
11 And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?
Mas de que tiveste receio, ou a quem temeste? porque mentiste, e não te lembraste de mim, nem no teu coração me pozeste? não é porventura porque eu me calo, e isso já desde muito tempo, e me não temes?
12 I will make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.
Eu publicarei a tua justiça, e as tuas obras, que não te aproveitarão.
13 Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.
Quando vieres a clamar, livrem-te os teus congregados; porém o vento a todos levará, e a vaidade os arrebatará: mas o que confia em mim possuirá a terra, e herdará o meu sancto monte.
14 And I will say, Make it high, make it high, get ready the way, take the stones out of the way of my people.
E dir-se-ha: Aplainae, aplainae a estrada, preparae o caminho: tirae os tropeços do caminho do meu povo.
15 For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.
Porque assim diz o alto e o sublime, que habita na eternidade, e cujo nome é sancto: Na altura e no logar sancto habito; como tambem com o contrito e abatido de espirito, para vivificar o espirito dos abatidos, e para vivificar o coração dos contritos.
16 For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.
Porque para sempre não contenderei, nem continuamente me indignarei; porque o espirito perante a minha face se opprimiria, e as almas que eu fiz.
17 I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.
Pela iniquidade da sua avareza me indignei, e os feri: escondi-me, e indignei-me; comtudo, rebeldes, seguiram o caminho do seu coração.
18 I have seen his ways, and I will make him well: I will give him rest, comforting him and his people who are sad.
Eu vejo os seus caminhos, e os sararei, e os guiarei, e lhes tornarei a dar consolações, a saber, aos seus pranteadores.
19 I will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well.
Eu crio os fructos dos labios: paz, paz, para os que estão longe, e para os que estão perto, diz o Senhor, e eu os sararei.
20 But the evil-doers are like the troubled sea, for which there is no rest, and its waters send up earth and waste.
Mas os impios são como o mar bravo, porque não se pode aquietar, e as suas aguas lançam de si lama e lodo.
21 There is no peace, says my God, for the evil-doers.
Os impios, diz o meu Deus, não teem paz.
