< Esias 3 >
1 Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
Porque, eis que o Senhor Deus dos exércitos tirará de Jerusalém e de Judá o bordão e o cajado: a todo o sustento de pão, e a toda a borda d'água;
2 the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
Ao valente, e ao soldado, ao juiz, e ao profeta, e ao adivinho, e ao ancião,
3 the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
Ao capitão de cincoênta, e ao respeitável, e ao conselheiro, e ao sábio entre os artífices, e ao eloquente.
4 And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
E dar-lhes-ei mancebos por príncipes, e crianças dominarão sobre eles.
5 And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbour: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
E o povo será oprimido; um será contra o outro, e cada um contra o seu próximo: o menino se atrevera contra o ancião, e o vil contra o nobre.
6 For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
Quando algum travar de seu irmão da casa de seu pai, dizendo: Capa tens, sê nosso príncipe, e toma sob a tua mão esta ruína;
7 And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
Então levantará a sua voz naquele dia, dizendo: Não posso ser médico, nem tão pouco há em minha casa pão, nem vestido algum: não me ponhais por príncipe do povo.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
Porque tropeçou Jerusalém, e Judá é caído; porquanto a sua língua e as suas obras são contra o Senhor, para irritarem os olhos da sua glória.
9 Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
A aparência das suas faces testifica contra eles; e publicam os seus pecados como Sodoma; não os dissimulam: ai da sua alma! porque se fazem mal a si mesmos.
10 Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
Dizem ao justo que bem lhe irá; que comerão do fruto das suas obras.
11 Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
Ai do ímpio! mal lhe irá: porque o galardão das suas mãos se lhe dará.
12 O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
Os exatores do meu povo são crianças, e mulheres dominam sobre ele: ah, povo meu! os que te guiam te enganam, e devoram o caminho das tuas veredas.
13 But now the Lord will stand up for judgement, and will enter into judgement with his people.
O Senhor se apresenta a pleitear, e se põe a julgar os povos.
14 The Lord himself shall enter into judgement with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
O Senhor vem em juízo contra os anciãos do seu povo, e contra os seus príncipes; porque vós consumistes esta vinha, o despojo do aflito está em vossas casas.
15 Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
Que tendes vós, que atropelais o meu povo e moeis as faces dos aflitos? diz o Senhor, o Deus dos exércitos.
16 Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
Diz ainda mais o Senhor: Porquanto as filhas de Sião se exalçam, e andam com o pescoço emproado, fazendo acenos com os olhos, e, indo andando, andam como dançando, e cascavelando com os pés
17 therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
Portanto o Senhor fará calva a mioleira das filhas de Sião, e o Senhor descobrirá as suas vergonhas.
18 and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
Naquele dia tirará o Senhor o enfeite das ligas, e as redezinhas, e as luetas,
19 and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
Os pendentes, e as manilhas, e os vestidos resplandecentes,
20 and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
Os diademas, e os enfeites dos braços, e os cendaes, e as bocetas cheirosas, e as arrecadas,
21 and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
Os anéis, e as jóias pendentes do nariz,
22 And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
Os vestidos de festa, e os mantos, e as coifas, e os alfinetes,
23 And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
Os espelhos, e as capinhas de linho finíssimas, e as toucas, e os véus.
24 And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
E será que em lugar de cheiro suave haverá fedor; e por cinto uma corda; e em lugar de encrespadura de cabelos, calva; e em lugar de veste larga, cingimento de saco; e queimadura em lugar de formosura.
Teus varões cairão à espada, e teus valentes na peleja.
E as suas portas gemerão e prantearão; e ela, ficando desolada, se assentará no chão.
