Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
O Espirito do Senhor Jehovah está sobre mim; porque o Senhor me ungiu, para prégar boas novas aos mansos: enviou-me a restaurar os contritos de coração, a apregoar liberdade aos captivos, e a abertura de prisão aos presos;
2 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
A apregoar o anno acceitavel do Senhor e o dia da vingança do nosso Deus, a consolar todos os tristes;
3 To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
A ordenar aos tristes de Sião que se lhes dê ornamento por cinza, oleo de gozo por tristeza, vestidura de louvor por espirito angustiado; para que se chamem carvalhos de justiça, plantados do Senhor, para que seja glorificado.
4 And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
E edificarão os logares antigamente assolados, e restaurarão os de antes destruidos, e renovarão as cidades assoladas, destruidas de geração em geração.
5 And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
E haverá estrangeiros, e apascentarão os vossos rebanhos: e estranhos serão os vossos lavradores e os vossos vinheiros.
6 But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
Porém vós sereis chamados sacerdotes do Senhor, e vos chamarão ministros de nosso Deus: comereis a abundancia das nações, e na sua gloria vos gloriareis.
7 As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
Por vossa dupla vergonha, e affronta, exultarão sobre a sua parte; pelo que na sua terra possuirão o dobro, e terão perpetua alegria.
8 For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
Porque eu, o Senhor, amo o juizo, aborreço a rapina no holocausto; e farei que a sua obra seja em verdade; e farei um concerto eterno com elles.
9 And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
E a sua semente será conhecida entre as nações, e os seus descendentes no meio dos povos; todos quantos os virem os conhecerão, que são a semente bemdita do Senhor.
10 I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
Gozo-me muito no Senhor, a minha alma se alegra no meu Deus: porque me vestiu de vestidos de salvação, me cobriu com o manto de justiça, como quando o noivo se orna com atavio sacerdotal, e como a noiva se enfeita com as suas joias.
11 For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
Porque, como a terra produz os seus renovos, e como o horto faz brotar o que n'elle se semeia, assim o Senhor Jehovah fará brotar a justiça e o louvor para todas as nações.
