Micah 7
1 I am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.
Ai de mim! porque estou feito como quando se tem colhido as frutas do verão, como os rabiscos da vindima; não há cacho de uvas para comer; desejou a minha alma figos temporãos.
2 [All] the godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.
Já pereceu o benigno da terra, e não há entre os homens um que seja reto: todos armam ciladas para sangue; caçam cada um a seu irmão com rede,
3 They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].
Para com ambas as mãos fazerem diligentemente o mal; assim demanda o príncipe, e o juiz julga pela recompensa, e o grande fala a corrupção da sua alma, e a torcem.
4 [Even] the best people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].
O melhor deles é como um espinho; o mais reto é pior do que o espinhal: veio o dia dos teus vigias, veio a tua visitação; agora será a sua confusão.
5 [So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
Não creias no amigo, nem confieis no vosso guia, daquela que repousa no teu seio guarda as portas da tua boca.
6 Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.
Porque o filho despreza ao pai, a filha se levanta contra sua mãe, a nora contra sua sogra, os inimigos do homem são os da sua casa.
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
Eu, porém, esperarei no Senhor; esperei no Deus da minha salvação: o meu Deus me ouvirá.
8 You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our light.
Ó inimiga minha, não te alegres de mim; ainda bem que eu tenho caído, levantar-me-ei: se morar nas trevas, o Senhor será a minha luz.
9 We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.
Sofrerei a ira do Senhor, porque pequei contra ele, até que julgue a minha causa, e execute o meu direito: ele tirar-me-á à luz, verei satisfeito a sua justiça.
10 Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.
E a minha inimiga o verá, e cobri-la-á a confusão; e aquela que me diz: Onde está o teu Deus? os meus olhos a verão satisfeitos; agora será ela pisada como a lama das ruas
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
No dia em que reedificar os teus muros, nesse dia longe estará ainda o estatuto.
12 [People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.
Naquele dia virá até ti, desde a Assyria até às cidades fortes, e das fortalezas até ao rio, e do mar até ao mar, e da montanha até à montanha.
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
Porém esta terra será posta em desolação, por causa dos seus moradores, por causa do fruto das suas obras.
14 Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.
Apascenta o teu povo com a tua vara, o rebanho da tua herança, que móra só no bosque, no meio da terra fértil; apascentem-se em Basan e Gilead, como nos dias da antiguidade.
15 [Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”
Eu lhes mostrarei maravilhas, como nos dias da tua subida da terra do Egito.
16 [People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].
As nações o verão, e envergonhar-se-ão, por causa de todo o seu poder: porão a mão sobre a boca, e os seus ouvidos ficarão surdos
17 [Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of him.
Lamberão o pó como serpentes, como uns réptis da terra, tremendo, sairão dos seus encerramentos; com pavor virão ao Senhor nosso Deus, e terão medo de ti.
18 [Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].
Quem é Deus semelhante a ti, que perdoa a iniquidade, e que passa pela rebelião do restante da sua herança? não retém a sua ira para sempre, porque tem prazer na benignidade.
19 You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.
Tornará a apiedar-se de nós: sujeitará as nossas iniquidades, e tu lançarás todos os seus pecados nas profundezas do mar.
20 You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
Darás a Jacob a fidelidade, e a Abraão a benignidade, que juraste a nossos pais desde os dias antigos.
