Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Palavra vista por Isaías, filho de Amoz, quanto a Judá e a Jerusalém:
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
E acontecerá no últimos dias, que o monte da cada do SENHOR se firmará no cume dos montes, e se levantará por cima dos morros; e correrão em direção a ele todas as nações.
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
E muitos povos irão, e dirão: Vinde, subamos ao monte do SENHOR, à casa do Deus de Jacó, para que ele nos ensine sobre seus caminhos, e andemos em suas veredas; Porque de Sião virá a Lei, e de Jerusalém a palavra do SENHOR.
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
E ele julgará entre as nações, e repreenderá a muitos povos; e trocarão suas espadas em enxadas, e suas lanças em foices; não se levantará mais espada nação contra nação, nem aprenderão mais a fazer guerra.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
Casa de Jacó, vinde, e andemos à luz do SENHOR.
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Mas tu, [SENHOR], desamparaste a teu povo, à casa de Jacó; porque se encheram [dos costumes] do oriente, e são místicos como os filisteus; e se associam a filhos de estrangeiros.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
A terra deles está cheia de prata e de ouro, e os tesouros deles não têm fim; a terra deles está cheia de cavalos, e as carruagens deles não têm fim.
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
A terra deles também está cheia de ídolos; eles se inclinam perante as obras de suas próprias mãos, perante o que seus próprios dedos fizeram.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Ali as pessoas se abatem, e os homens se humilham; por isso tu não os perdoarás.
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Entra nas rochas, e esconde-te no pó, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e da glória de sua majestade.
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Os olhos arrogantes dos homens serão abatidos, e o orgulho dos homens será humilhado; e só o SENHOR será exaltado naquele dia.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
Porque o dia do SENHOR dos exércitos será contra o soberbo e o arrogante; e contra todo de que [se acha] exaltado, para que seja abatido.
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
E contra todos os cedros do Líbano, altos e elevados; e contra todos os carvalhos de Basã.
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
E contra todos os altos montes, e contra todos os morros elevados.
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
E contra toda torre alta, e contra todo muro fortificado.
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
E contra todos os navios de Társis, e contra todas as pinturas desejadas.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
E a soberba do homem será humilhada, e o orgulho dos homens será abatido; e só o SENHOR será exaltado naquele dia.
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
E todos os ídolos serão eliminados por completo.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Então entrarão nas cavernas das rochas, e nos buracos da terra, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar, para espantar a terra.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
Naquele dia, o homem lançará seus ídolos de prata, e seus ídolos de ouro, que fizeram para se prostrarem diante deles, às toupeiras e aos morcegos.
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
E se porão nas fendas das rochas, e nas cavernas das penhas, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa da glória de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar para espantar a terra.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
[Portanto, ] cessai de [confiar no] homem, cujo fôlego está em suas narinas; pois o que há nele que mereça se dar algum valor?
