Isaiah 57
1 Righteous people [sometimes] die [when they are still young], and no one is concerned about it. Godly people [sometimes] die because of disasters, and no one understands why. They are taken away in order that they will not endure more calamities,
Perece o justo, e não há quem considere nisso em seu coração, e os homens compassivos são recolhidos, sem que alguém considere que o justo é recolhido antes do mal.
2 and now they have peace. They [continually] lived righteously, and [now] they rest [peacefully] in their graves.
Entrará em paz: descançarão nas suas camas, os que houverem andado na sua retidão.
3 [Yahweh says, ] “But you who practice sorcery, come here! You who worship idols [MET], [listen to me]!
Porém chegai-vos aqui, vós os filhos da agoureira, semente adulterina, e que cometeis fornicação.
4 Do you realize [RHQ] whom you are ridiculing, and whom you are insulting? Do you realize [RHQ] to whom you are sticking out your tongues? [You are insulting me, Yahweh]! You are [RHQ] always rebelling against me and always lying.
De quem fazeis o vosso passatempo? contra quem alargais a boca, e deitais para fora a língua? porventura não sois filhos da transgressão, semente da falsidade,
5 You are eager to have sex under every [big] green tree where you worship your gods. You kill your children as sacrifices [to your idols] in the dry riverbeds, and [also] offer them [as sacrifices to your idols] in the rocky caves.
Que vos esquentais com os deuses debaixo de toda a árvore verde, e sacrificais os filhos nos ribeiros, debaixo dos cantos dos penhascos?
6 [You take big] smooth stones from the riverbeds and worship them as your gods. You pour out [wine] to be an offering to them, and you bring grain [to burn for] an offering to them. Do you think that I should not punish you for doing all those things?
Nas pedras lisas dos ribeiros está a tua parte; estas, estas são a tua sorte; a estas também derramas a tua libação, e lhes ofereces ofertas: contentar-me-ia eu destas coisas?
7 You have sex [EUP] [with cult prostitutes] on every hill and mountain, and you go there to offer sacrifices [to your gods].
Sobre os montes altos e levantados pões a tua cama; e lá sobes para sacrificar sacrifícios.
8 You have put (fetishes/pagan symbols) behind your doors and doorposts, and you have deserted me. You have taken off your clothes [EUP] and climbed into your bed and invited more [of your lovers] to come to bed with you. You have paid them to have sex with you, and you have fondled their sexual organs.
E detraz das portas e dos umbrais pões os teus memoriais; porque, desviando-te de mim, a outros te descobres, e sobes, alargas a tua cama, e fazes concerto com alguns deles: amas a sua cama, onde quer que a vês.
9 You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol h7585)
E vais ao rei com óleo, e multiplicas os teus perfumes; e envias os teus embaixadores para longe, e te abates até aos infernos. (Sheol h7585)
10 You became weary because of doing all those things, but you never said, ‘It is useless [for us to do that].’ You found new strength for worshiping idols, so you continued to do that [LIT].
Na tua comprida viagem te cançaste; porém não dizes: É coisa desesperada: o que buscavas achaste; por isso não adoeces.
11 Was it because you were afraid [of those idols more than you were afraid of me] that you lied [about what you were doing], and you do not even think about [DOU, RHQ] me? Was it because I did not punish you for a long time that you are not afraid of me [RHQ]?
Mas de que tiveste receio, ou a quem temeste? porque mentiste, e não te lembraste de mim, nem no teu coração me puseste? não é porventura porque eu me calo, e isso já desde muito tempo, e me não temes?
12 You [think that] [IRO] the things that you have done are right, but I will tell the truth. It will not help you to do any of those things.
Eu publicarei a tua justiça, e as tuas obras, que não te aproveitarão.
13 When you cry out [for help] to your collection of idols, they will not rescue you. The wind will blow them away [DOU]. But those who trust in me will live in the land [of Israel], and [they will worship me on Zion], my sacred hill.”
Quando vieres a clamar, livrem-te os teus congregados; porém o vento a todos levará, e a vaidade os arrebatará: mas o que confia em mim possuirá a terra, e herdará o meu santo monte.
14 Yahweh will say, “Prepare [yourselves to receive] me, [like] [MET] people build and prepare a road [for a king to come on]. Get rid of [the things that are causing you to sin] [like] [MET] people remove from a road (obstacles/things that cause people to stumble).
E dir-se-á: aplainai, aplainai a estrada, preparai o caminho: tirai os tropeços do caminho do meu povo.
15 Because this is what [I], Yahweh, who am holy and greatly honored and who live forever, say: I live in the highest heaven, where [everything] is holy, but I also am with those who are humble and who are sorry for the sinful things that they have done. I will greatly encourage [DOU] those who have repented.
Porque assim diz o alto e o sublime, que habita na eternidade, e cujo nome é santo: Na altura e no lugar santo habito; como também com o contrito e abatido de espírito, para vivificar o espírito dos abatidos, e para vivificar o coração dos contritos.
16 I will not accuse [people] forever; I will not always be angry [with them], because [if I did that], people would become weak/discouraged; all the people whom I created and caused to live would die.
Porque para sempre não contenderei, nem continuamente me indignarei; porque o espírito perante a minha face se oprimiria, e as almas que eu fiz.
17 I was angry [with my people] because they sinned by wanting the things that others had. So because I was angry, I punished them and turned away from them, but they continued sinning.
Pela iniquidade da sua avareza me indignei, e os feri: escondi-me, e indignei-me; contudo, rebeldes, seguiram o caminho do seu coração.
18 I have seen the evil things that they continually do, but I will restore them and lead them. I will encourage/comfort them. And to those who are mourning,
Eu vejo os seus caminhos, e os sararei, e os guiarei, e lhes tornarei a dar consolações, a saber, aos seus pranteadores.
19 I will enable them to sing songs to praise me. I will restore [all my people], those who live near [Jerusalem] and those who live far away, and I will cause things to go well for them.
Eu crio os frutos dos lábios: paz, paz, para os que estão longe, e para os que estão perto, diz o Senhor, e eu os sararei.
20 Wicked [people do not have peace in their inner beings]; they are like [SIM] a sea [whose waves are] always churning up mud,
Mas os ímpios são como o mar bravo, porque não se pode aquietar, e as suas águas lançam de si lama e lodo.
21 and [I], Yahweh, say that things will never (go well/be peaceful) for those who are evil.”
Os ímpios, diz o meu Deus, não tem paz.
