Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Visão de Isaias, filho d'Amós, a qual viu sobre Judá e Jerusalém, nos dias d'Uzias, Jothão, Achaz, e Ezequias, reis de Judá.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Ouvi, ó céus, e presta ouvido, tu ó terra; porque fala o Senhor: Criei filhos, e exalcei-os; mas eles prevaricaram contra mim.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
O boi conhece o seu possuidor, e o jumento a mangedoura do seu dono; mas Israel não tem conhecimento, o meu povo não entende.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Ai da nação pecadora, do povo carregado de iniquidade, da semente de malignos, dos filhos corruptores: deixaram ao Senhor, blasfemaram o Santo de Israel, tornaram-se para traz.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Porque ainda mais serieis castigados? ainda tanto mais vos rebelarieis: toda a cabeça está enferma e todo o coração fraco.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Desde a planta do pé até à cabeça não há nele coisa inteira, senão feridas, e inchaços, e chagas podres, não espremidas, nem vendadas, nem nenhuma delas amolecida com óleo.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
A vossa terra é uma assolação, as vossas cidades estão abrazadas do fogo: a vossa terra os estranhos a devoram em vossa presença; e é uma assolação, como a subversão por estranhos.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
E a filha de Sião se ficou como a cabana na vinha, como a choupana no pepinal, como a cidade cercada.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Se o Senhor dos exércitos nos não deixara algum pouco de resto, já como Sodoma seríamos, e semelhantes a Gomorrha.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, vós príncipes de Sodoma: prestai ouvidos à lei do nosso Deus, vós, ó povo de Gomorrha.
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
De que me serve a mim a multidão de vossos sacrifícios, diz o Senhor? Já estou farto dos holocaustos de carneiros, e da gordura de animais cevados: nem folgo com o sangue de bezerros, nem de cordeiros, nem de bodes.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Quando vindes a aparecer perante mim, quem requereu isto de vossas mãos, que viesseis a pisar os meus átrios?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Não me tragais mais ofertas debalde: o incenso é para mim abominação, e as luas novas, e os sábados, e a convocação das congregações; não posso suportar iniquidade, nem mesmo o ajuntamento solemne.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
As vossas luas novas, e as vossas solenidades as aborrece a minha alma; já me são pesadas: já estou cançado de as sofrer.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Pelo que, quando estendeis as vossas mãos, escondo de vós os meus olhos; e até quando multiplicais a oração não ouço, porque as vossas mãos estão cheias de sangue.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Lavai-vos, purificai-vos, tirai a maldade de vossos atos de diante dos meus olhos: cessai de fazer mal:
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
Aprendei a fazer bem; procurai o juízo; ajudai o opresso: fazei justiça ao órfão; tratai da causa das viúvas.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Vinde agora, e argui-me, diz o Senhor: ainda que os vossos pecados sejam como a escarlata, eles se tornarão brancos como a neve: ainda que sejam vermelhos como o carmezim, se tornarão como a branca lã.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Se quizerdes, e ouvirdes, comereis o bem desta terra.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Mas se recusardes, e fordes rebeldes, sereis devorados à espada; porque a boca do Senhor o disse.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Como se fez prostituta a cidade fiel! ela que estava cheia de juízo, justiça habitava nela, mas agora homicidas.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
A tua prata se tornou em escórias, o teu vinho se misturou com água.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Os teus príncipes são rebeldes, e companheiros dos ladrões: cada um deles ama as peitas, e correm após salários: não fazem justiça ao órfão, e não chega perante eles a causa das viúvas
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Porquanto diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos, o Forte de Israel: Ah, consolar-me-ei acerca dos meus adversários, e vingar-me-ei dos meus inimigos:
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
E tornarei contra a minha mão, e purificarei inteiramente as tuas escórias; e tirar-te-ei todo o teu estanho.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
E te restituirei os teus juízes, como foram de antes; e os teus conselheiros, como antigamente; e então te chamarão cidade de justiça, cidade fiel.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Sião será remida com juízo, e os que voltam para ela com justiça.
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Mas para os transgressores e os pecadores haverá juntamente destruição; e os que deixarem o Senhor serão consumidos.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Porque vos envergonhareis pelos carvalhos que cobiçastes, e sereis confundidos pelos jardins que escolhestes.
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Porque sereis como o carvalho, ao qual caem as folhas, e como a floresta que não tem água.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
E o forte se tornará em estopa, e a sua obra em faísca; e ambos arderão juntamente, e não haverá quem os apague.
