Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
Eis que o SENHOR esvazia a terra, e a assola; e transtorna sua superfície, e espalha seus moradores.
2 And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
E [isso] acontecerá, tanto ao povo, como ao sacerdote; tanto ao servo, como a seu senhor; tanto à serva, como a sua senhora; tanto ao comprador, como ao vendedor; tanto a quem empresta, como ao que toma emprestado; tanto ao credor, como ao devedor.
3 The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
A terra será esvaziada por completo, e será saqueada por completo; pois o SENHOR pronunciou esta palavra.
4 The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
A terra chora [e] se murcha; o mundo enfraquece [e] se murcha; estão enfraquecidos os mais elevados do povo da terra;
5 And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
Pois a terra está contaminada por causa de seus moradores; pois transgridem as leis, mudam os estatutos, [e] anulam o pacto eterno.
6 Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
Pois isso, a maldição consome a terra; e os que nela habitam pagam por sua culpa; por isso serão queimados os moradores da terra, e poucos homens restarão.
7 The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
O suco de uva chora, a vinha se enfraquece; todos os alegres de coração [agora] suspiram.
8 The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
A alegria dos tamborins parou, acabou o ruído dos que saltavam de prazer; a alegria da harpa parou.
9 They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
Não beberão vinho com canções; a bebida alcoólica será amarga aos que a beberem.
10 The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
A cidade da confusão está quebrada; todas as casas estão fechadas; ninguém pode entrar.
11 There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
Um clamor de lamento por causa do vinho [se ouve] nas ruas; toda a alegria se escureceu; o prazer da terra sumiu.
12 Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
[Só] restou assolação na cidade; o portão foi feito em ruínas.
13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
Porque assim será por entre a terra, e no meio destes povos; como quando se sacode a oliveira, [e] como as uvas que sobram depois de terminada a vindima.
14 These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
Eles levantarão sua voz, e cantarão com alegria; por causa da glória do SENHOR, gritarão de alegria desde o mar.
15 Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
Por isso glorificai ao SENHOR no oriente; [e] no litoral ao nome do SENHOR, o Deus de Israel.
16 From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
Dos confins da terra ouvimos canções [para] a glória do Justo; mas eu digo: Fraqueza minha, fraqueza minha; ai de mim! Os enganadores enganam, e com enganação os enganadores agem enganosamente.
17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
Temor, cova e laço [vem] sobre ti, ó morador da terra.
18 And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
E será que, aquele que fugir do som de temor cairá na cova; e aquele que subir da cova, o laço o prenderá; pois as janelas do alto se abrem; e os fundamentos da terra tremerão.
19 The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
A terra será quebrada por completo; a terra será totalmente partida, e será muito abalada.
20 The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
A terra balançará como um bêbado; e será abalada como uma choupana; e sua transgressão pesará sobre ela; cairá, e nunca mais se levantará.
21 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
E será que naquele dia o SENHOR visitará [para punir] aos exércitos do alto na altura, e aos reis da terra sobre a terra.
22 And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
E juntamente serão amontoados [como] presos numa masmorra; e serão encarcerados num cárcere; e muitos dias depois serão visitados.
23 And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
E a lua será envergonhada, e o sol humilhado, quando o SENHOR dos exércitos reinar no monte de Sião, e em Jerusalém; e então perante seus anciãos [haverá] glória.
