Isaiah 27
1 At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
N'aquelle dia o Senhor castigará com a sua espada dura, grande e forte, ao Leviathan, aquella serpente comprida, e ao Leviathan, aquella serpente tortuosa, e matará o dragão, que está no mar
2 At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
N'aquelle dia haverá uma vinha de vinho tinto; cantae d'ella.
3 I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
Eu o Senhor a guardo, e cada momento a regarei; para que ninguem lhe faça damno, de noite e de dia a guardarei.
4 I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
Já não ha furor em mim: quem me poria sarças e espinheiros diante de mim na guerra? eu iria contra elles e juntamente os queimaria.
5 unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
Ou pegue da minha força, e faça paz comigo: paz fará comigo.
6 There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
Dias virão em que Jacob lançará raizes, e florescerá e brotará Israel, e encherão de fructo a face do mundo
7 [But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
Porventura feriu-o elle como feriu aos que o feriram? ou matou-o elle assim como matou aos que foram mortos por elle?
8 [No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
Com medida contendeste com ella, quando a rejeitaste, quando a tirou com o seu vento forte, no tempo do vento leste.
9 Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
Por isso se expiará a iniquidade de Jacob, e este será todo o fructo, de se ter dado peccado: quando fizer a todas as pedras do altar como pedras de cal feitas em pedaços, então os bosques e as imagens do sol não poderão ficar em pé
10 The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
Porque a forte cidade ficará solitaria, e a morada será rejeitada e desamparada como um deserto; ali pastarão os bezerros, e ali se deitarão, e devorarão as suas ramas.
11 [The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
Quando as suas ramas se seccarem, serão quebradas, e, vindo as mulheres, as accenderão, porque este povo não é povo de entendimento, pelo que aquelle que o fez não se compadecerá d'elle, nem aquelle que o formou lhe fará graça alguma.
12 [However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
E será n'aquelle dia que o Senhor o padejará como se padeja o trigo, desde as correntes do rio, até ao rio do Egypto; e vós, ó filhos de Israel, sereis colhidos um a um
13 At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
E será n'aquelle dia que se tocará uma grande trombeta, e os que andavam perdidos pela terra da Assyria, e os que foram desterrados para a terra do Egypto tornarão a vir, e adorarão ao Senhor no monte sancto em Jerusalem.
