< Isaiah 45 >

1 Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
Assim diz o Senhor ao seu ungido, a Cyro, a quem tomo pela sua mão direita, para abater as nações diante de sua face, e eu soltarei os lombos dos reis, para abrir diante d'elle as portas, e as portas não se fecharão.
2 This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
Eu irei diante de ti, e endireitarei os caminhos tortos: quebrarei as portas de bronze, e despedeçarei os ferrolhos de ferro.
3 I will give you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
E te darei os thesouros das escuridades, e as riquezas encobertas, para que possas saber que eu sou o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, que te chama pelo teu nome.
4 I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
Por amor de meu servo Jacob, e de Israel, meu eleito, eu a ti te chamei pelo teu nome, puz-te o teu sobrenome, ainda que me não conhecesses.
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
Eu sou o Senhor, e não ha outro: fóra de mim não ha Deus: eu te cingirei, ainda que tu me não conheças.
6 in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
Para que se saiba desde o nascente do sol, e desde o poente, que fóra de mim não ha outro: eu sou o Senhor, e não ha outro.
7 I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those things.”
Eu fórmo a luz, e crio as trevas; eu faço a paz, e crio o mal: eu, o Senhor, faço todas estas coisas.
8 [And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
Distillae vós, céus, d'essas alturas, e as nuvens chovam justiça, abra-se a terra, e produza-se toda a sorte de salvação, e a justiça fructifique, juntamente; eu o Senhor, as creei
9 Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
Ai d'aquelle que contende com o que o formou; o caco contenda com os cacos de barro: porventura dirá o barro ao que o formou: Que fazes? ou a tua obra: Não tens mãos?
10 And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
Ai d'aquelle que diz ao pae: Que é o que geras? e á mulher: Que é o que pares?
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
Assim diz o Senhor, o Sancto de Israel, aquelle que o formou: Perguntae-me as coisas futuras; demandae-me ácerca de meus filhos, e ácerca da obra das minhas mãos.
12 I am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
Eu fiz a terra, e creei n'ella o homem; eu o fiz; as minhas mãos estenderam os céus, e a todos os seus exercitos dei as minhas ordens.
13 And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
Eu o despertei em justiça, e todos os seus caminhos endireitarei: elle edificará a minha cidade, e soltará os meus captivos, não por preço nem por presentes, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos.
14 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
Assim diz o Senhor: O trabalho do Egypto, e o commercio dos ethiopes, e dos sabeos, homens d'alta estatura, se passarão para ti, e serão teus; irão atraz de ti, passarão em grilhões, e a ti se prostrarão; far-te-hão as suas supplicas diante de ti, dizendo: Devéras Deus está em ti, e nenhum outro deus ha mais.
15 God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
Verdadeiramente tu és o Deus que se encobre, o Deus de Israel, o Salvador.
16 All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
Envergonhar-se-hão, e tambem se confundirão todos: cairão juntamente na affronta os que fabricam imagens.
17 But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
Porém Israel é salvo pelo Senhor, por uma eterna salvação; pelo que não sereis envergonhados nem confundidos em todas as eternidades.
18 Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
Porque assim diz o Senhor que tem creado os céus, o Deus que formou a terra, e a fez; elle a confirmou, não a creou vasia, mas a formou para que fosse habitada: Eu sou o Senhor e não ha outro.
19 [What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what is right.
Não fallei em occulto, nem em logar algum escuro da terra: não disse á semente de Jacob: Buscae-me em vão: eu sou o Senhor, que falla a justiça, e annuncio coisas rectas.
20 You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
Congregae-vos, e vinde; chegae-vos juntos, os que escapastes das nações: nada sabem os que trazem em procissão as suas imagens de esculptura, de madeira feitas, e rogam a um deus que não pode salvar.
21 Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
Annunciae, e chegae-vos, e tomae conselho todos juntos: quem fez ouvir isto desde a antiguidade? quem desde então o annunciou? porventura não sou eu, o Senhor? e não ha outro Deus senão eu; Deus justo e Salvador não o ha fóra de mim.
22 Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
Virae-vos para mim, e sereis salvos, vós, todos os termos da terra; porque eu sou Deus, e não ha outro.
23 I have solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
Por mim mesmo tenho jurado, e já saiu da minha bocca a palavra de justiça, e não tornará atraz: que diante de mim se dobrará todo o joelho, e por mim jurará toda a lingua.
24 They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
De mim se dirá: Devéras no Senhor ha justiças e força: até elle chegarão; mas serão envergonhados todos os que se indignarem contra elle.
25 Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
Porém no Senhor será justificada, e se gloriará toda a semente de Israel.
