< Isaiah 58 >
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
Clama em alta voz, não te retenhas, levanta a tua voz como a trombeta e annuncia ao meu povo a sua transgressão, e á casa de Jacob os seus peccados.
2 They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
Ainda que me buscam cada dia, tomam prazer em saber os meus caminhos, como um povo que obra justiça, e não deixa o direito do seu Deus: perguntam-me pelos direitos da justiça, e teem prazer em se chegarem a Deus,
3 [They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
Dizendo: Porque jejuamos nós, e tu não attentas para isso? Porque affligimos as nossas almas, e tu o não sabes? Eis que no dia em que jejuaes achaes o vosso contentamento, e estreitamente requereis todo o vosso trabalho.
4 You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
Eis que para contendas e debates jejuaes, e para dardes punhadas impiamente: não jejueis como hoje, para fazer ouvir a vossa voz no alto.
5 You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
Seria este o jejum que eu escolheria, que o homem um dia afflija a sua alma? que incline a sua cabeça como o junco, e estenda debaixo de si sacco e cinza? chamarias tu a isto jejum e dia aprazivel ao Senhor?
6 No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
Porventura não é este o jejum que escolhi? que soltes as ligaduras da impiedade, que desfaças as ataduras do jugo? e que deixes livres os quebrantados, e despedaces todo o jugo?
7 I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
Porventura não é tambem que repartas o teu pão com o faminto, e recolhas em casa os pobres desterrados? e, vendo o nú, o cubras, e não te escondas da tua carne?
8 If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
Então romperá a tua luz como a alva, e a tua cura apressadamente brotará, e a tua justiça irá adiante da tua face, e a gloria do Senhor será a tua rectaguarda.
9 Then you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
Então clamarás, e o Senhor te responderá; gritarás, e elle dirá: Eis-me aqui: se tirares do meio de ti o jugo, o estender do dedo, e o fallar vaidade;
10 Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
E se abrires a tua alma ao faminto, e fartares a alma afflicta: então a tua luz nascerá nas trevas, e a tua escuridão será como o meio dia
11 [I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
E o Senhor te guiará continuamente, e fartará a tua alma em grandes sequidões, e fortificará os teus ossos; e serás como um jardim regado, e como um manancial de aguas, cujas aguas nunca faltam.
12 [Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
E os que de ti procederem edificarão os logares antigamente assolados; e levantarás os fundamentos de geração em geração: e chamar-te-hão reparador das roturas, e restaurador de veredas para morar.
13 Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
Se desviares o teu pé do sabbado, de fazeres a tua vontade no meu sancto dia, e chamares ao sabbado deleitoso, e o sancto dia do Senhor, digno de honra, e o honrares não seguindo os teus caminhos, nem pretendendo fazer a tua propria vontade, nem fallares as tuas proprias palavras,
14 I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Então te deleitarás no Senhor, e te farei cavalgar sobre as alturas da terra, a te sustentarei com a herança de teu pae Jacob; porque a bocca do Senhor o fallou.
