Isaiah 42
1 [Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
“Eis o meu servo, que eu sustento, meu escolhido, em quem minha alma se compraz: Coloquei meu Espírito sobre ele. Ele trará justiça para as nações.
2 He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
Ele não vai gritar, nem levantar sua voz, nem fazer com que seja ouvida na rua.
3 He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
Ele não quebra uma cana machucada. Ele não apaga um pavio em combustão lenta. Ele trará justiça fielmente.
4 He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
Ele não falhará nem será desencorajado, até que ele tenha estabelecido a justiça na terra, e as ilhas esperam por sua lei”.
5 Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
Deus Yahweh, aquele que criou os céus e os esticou, aquele que espalha a terra e o que dela sai, aquele que dá fôlego ao seu povo e espírito àqueles que nele caminham, diz:
6 “I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
“Eu, Yahweh, o chamei com justiça. Vou segurar sua mão. Eu o manterei, e fazer um pacto para o povo, como uma luz para as nações,
7 You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
para abrir os olhos cegos, para trazer os prisioneiros para fora da masmorra, e aqueles que se sentam na escuridão fora da prisão.
8 I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
“Eu sou Yahweh. Esse é o meu nome. Eu não darei minha glória a outro, nem meus elogios às imagens gravadas.
9 Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
Veja, as coisas anteriores aconteceram e eu declaro coisas novas. Eu lhes falo sobre eles antes que venham à tona”.
10 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
Cante para Yahweh uma nova canção, e seus elogios desde o fim da terra, vocês que descem ao mar, e tudo o que aí está, as ilhas e seus habitantes.
11 You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
Let o sertão e suas cidades levantam suas vozes, com as aldeias que Kedar habita. Deixe os habitantes de Sela cantarem. Deixe-os gritar do alto das montanhas!
12 Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
Deixe-os dar glória a Javé, e declarar seus elogios nas ilhas.
13 [It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
Yahweh sairá como um homem poderoso. Ele vai despertar o zelo como um homem de guerra. Ele vai levantar um grito de guerra. Sim, ele vai gritar em voz alta. Ele triunfará sobre seus inimigos.
14 [He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
“Tenho estado em silêncio há muito tempo. Tenho me mantido quieto e contido. Agora eu vou gritar como uma mulher que está de parto. Eu vou ofegar e ofegar.
15 I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
Vou destruir montanhas e colinas, e secar todas as suas ervas. Vou fazer as ilhas fluviais, e secará as piscinas.
16 [My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
Vou trazer os cegos de uma forma que eles não conhecem. Vou conduzi-los por caminhos que eles não conhecem. Eu farei das trevas luz diante deles, e lugares tortuosos em linha reta. Eu farei estas coisas, e eu não os abandonarei.
17 But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
“Aqueles que confiam nas imagens gravadas, que contam imagens derretidas, “Vocês são nossos deuses”. será devolvido. Eles ficarão totalmente desapontados.
18 You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
“Ouça, você é surdo, e olhe, você é cego, que você possa ver.
19 No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
Quem é cego, mas meu criado? Ou quem é tão surdo quanto meu mensageiro que eu envio? Que é tão cego quanto aquele que está em paz, e tão cego quanto o criado de Yahweh?
20 You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
Você vê muitas coisas, mas não observa. Seus ouvidos estão abertos, mas ele não escuta.
21 Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
Agradou a Yahweh, por sua justiça, ampliar a lei e torná-lo honroso.
22 But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
Mas este é um povo roubado e saqueado. Todos eles são enganchados em buracos, e eles estão escondidos em prisões. Eles se tornaram cativos, e ninguém entrega, e um saque, e ninguém diz: “Restaurem-nos”!
23 Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
Quem dentre vocês vai dar ouvidos a isto? Quem escutará e ouvirá no momento certo?
24 Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
Quem deu Jacob como saque, e Israel para os ladrões? Não foi Yahweh, aquele contra quem pecamos? Pois eles não se meteriam em seus caminhos, e desobedeceram a sua lei.
25 Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
Portanto, ele derramou sobre ele a ferocidade de sua raiva, e a força da batalha. Isso o pegou fogo por todos os lados, mas ele não sabia. Isso o queimou, mas ele não levou isso a sério”.
