< Isaiah 63 >

1 [I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
Quem é este, que vem de Edom, com vestidos tintos de Bozra? este ornado com a sua vestidura, que marcha com a sua grande força? Eu, que falo em justiça, poderoso para salvar.
2 [I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
Porque estás vermelho na tua vestidura? e os teus vestidos como aquele que piza no lagar?
3 [He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
Eu pizei só o lagar, e dos povos ninguém houve comigo; e os pizei na minha ira, e os atropelei no meu furor; e o seu sangue se aspergia sobre os meus vestidos, e manchei toda a minha vestidura.
4 I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
Porque o dia da vingança estava no meu coração; e o ano dos meus remédios é chegado.
5 I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
E olhei, e não havia quem me ajudasse; e espantei-me de que não houvesse quem me sustivesse, pelo que o meu braço me trouxe a salvação, e o meu furor me susteve.
6 Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
E atropelei os povos na minha ira, e os embebedei no meu furor; e a sua força derribei por terra.
7 I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
Das benignidades do Senhor farei menção, e dos muitos louvores do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto o Senhor nos fez; e da grande bondade para com a casa de Israel, que usou com eles segundo as suas misericórdias, e segundo a multidão das suas benignidades.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
Porque dizia: contudo meu povo são, filhos que não mentirão: assim se lhes fez Salvador.
9 When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
Em toda a angústia deles ele foi angustiado, e o anjo da sua face os salvou; pelo seu amor, e pela sua compaixão ele os remiu; e os tomou, e os trouxe sobre si todos os dias da antiguidade.
10 But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
Porém eles foram rebeldes, e contristaram o seu Espírito Santo; pelo que se lhes tornou em inimigo, e ele mesmo pelejou contra eles.
11 Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
Todavia se lembrou dos dias da antiguidade, de Moisés, e do seu povo. Porém onde está agora o que os fez subir do mar com os pastores do seu rebanho? onde está o que punha no meio deles o seu Espírito Santo?
12 Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
O que o braço da sua glória fez andar à mão direita de Moisés? o que fendeu as águas diante deles, para se fazer um nome eterno?
13 Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
O que os guiou pelos abismos, como o cavalo no deserto; nunca tropeçaram.
14 They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
Como a besta que desce aos vales, o espírito do Senhor lhes deu descanço: assim guiaste ao teu povo, para te fazeres um nome glorioso.
15 [Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
Atenta desde os céus, e olha desde a tua santa e gloriosa habitação. Onde estão o teu zelo e as tuas forças? o arroido das tuas entranhas, e das tuas misericórdias, detém-se para comigo!
16 You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
Porém tu és nosso pai, ainda que Abraão nos não conhece, e Israel não nos reconhece: Tu, ó Senhor, és nosso pai; nosso redentor desde a antiguidade é o teu nome.
17 Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
Porque, ó Senhor, nos fazes errar dos teus caminhos? Porque endureces o nosso coração, para que te não temamos? Torna, por amor dos teus servos, às tribos da tua herança.
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Só por um pouco de tempo a possuiu o teu santo povo: nossos adversários pizaram o teu santuário.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Somos feitos como aqueles sobre quem tu nunca dominaste, e como os que nunca se chamaram pelo teu nome.
