< Isaiah 25 >
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
Ó Senhor, tu és o meu Deus; exaltar-te-ei a ti, e louvarei o teu nome, porque fizeste maravilhas: os teus conselhos antigos são verdade e firmeza.
2 [Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
Porque da cidade fizeste um montão de pedras, e da forte cidade uma inteira ruína, e do paço dos estranhos, que não seja mais cidade, e jamais se torne a edificar.
3 Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
Pelo que te glorificará um poderoso povo, e a cidade das nações formidáveis te temerá.
4 Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
Porque foste a fortaleza do pobre, e a fortaleza do necessitado, na sua angústia: refúgio contra o alagamento, e sombra contra o calor; porque o sopro dos tiranos é como o alagamento contra o muro.
5 and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
Como o calor em lugar seco, assim abaterás o ímpeto dos estranhos; como se aplaca o calor pela sombra da espessa nuvem, assim o cântico dos tiranos será humilhado.
6 Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
E o Senhor dos exércitos fará neste monte a todos os povos um convite de cevados, convite de vinhos puros, de tutanos gordos, e de vinhos puros, bem purificados.
7 [People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
E devorará neste monte a máscara do rosto, com que todos os povos andam cobertos, e a cobertura com que todas as nações se cobrem.
8 He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
Devorará também a morte com vitória, e assim enxugará o Senhor Jehovah as lágrimas de todos os rostos, e tirará o opróbrio do seu povo de toda a terra; porque o Senhor o disse.
9 At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
E naquele dia se dirá: eis que este é o nosso Deus, a quem aguardavamos, e ele nos salvará: este é o Senhor, a quem aguardavamos: na sua salvação pois nos gozaremos e alegraremos.
10 Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
Porque a mão do Senhor descançará neste monte; mas Moab será trilhado debaixo dele, como se trilha a palha no monturo.
11 Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
E estenderá as suas mãos por entre eles, como as estende o nadador para nadar: e abaterá a sua altivez com as ciladas das suas mãos deles.
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
E abaixará as altas fortalezas dos teus muros, as abaterá e as derribará em terra até ao pó.
