Isaías 2
1 Visao que viu Isaias, filho de Amós, no tocante a Judah e a Jerusalem:
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
2 E acontecerá no ultimo dos dias que se firmará o monte da casa do Senhor no cume dos montes, e se exalçará por cima dos outeiros: e concorrerão a elle todas as nações.
[I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
3 E irão muitos povos, e dirão: Vinde, subamos ao monte do Senhor, á casa do Deus de Jacob, para que nos ensine ácerca dos seus caminhos, e andemos nas suas veredas; porque de Sião sairá a lei, e de Jerusalem a palavra do Senhor.
People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
4 E julgará entre as gentes, e reprehenderá a muitos povos; e converterão as suas espadas em enxadões e as suas lanças em foices: não alçará espada nação contra nação, nem aprenderão mais a guerrear.
Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
5 Vinde, ó casa de Jacob: e andemos na luz do Senhor.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
6 Porém tu desamparaste ao teu povo, a casa de Jacob; porque se encheram d'impiedade mais do que os do oriente e são agoureiros como os philisteos; e mostram o seu contentamento nos filhos dos estranhos.
[Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
7 E a sua terra está cheia de prata e oiro, e não ha fim de seus thesouros: tambem está cheia a sua terra de cavallos, e dos seus carros não ha fim
Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
8 Tambem está cheia a sua terra de idolos: inclinaram-se perante a obra das suas mãos, perante o que fabricaram os seus dedos.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 Ali o povo se abate, e os nobres se humilham: portanto lhes não perdoarás.
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
10 Vae, entra nas rochas, e esconde-te no pó, da presença espantosa do Senhor e da gloria da sua magestade.
All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
11 Os olhos altivos dos homens serão abatidos, e a altivez dos varões será humilhada: e só o Senhor será exaltado n'aquelle dia.
Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
12 Porque o dia do Senhor dos Exercitos será contra todo o soberbo e altivo, e contra todo o exalçado, para que seja abatido;
The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
13 E contra todos os cedros do Libano, altos e sublimes, e contra todos os carvalhos de Basan;
[He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
14 E contra todos os montes altos, e contra todos os outeiros levantados;
He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
15 E contra toda a torre alta, e contra todo o muro firme;
He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
16 E contra todos os navios de Tarsis, e contra todas as pinturas desejaveis.
He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
17 E a altivez do homem será humilhada, e a altivez dos varões se abaterá, e só o Senhor será exaltado n'aquelle dia.
He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
18 E todos os idolos totalmente perecerão.
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
19 Então metter-se-hão pelas cavernas das rochas, e pelas concavidades da terra, por causa da presença espantosa do Senhor, e por causa da gloria da sua magestade, quando elle se levantar para espantar a terra.
When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
20 N'aquelle dia o homem lançará ás toupeiras e aos morcegos os seus idolos de prata, e os seus idolos d'oiro, que se fizeram para se prostrarem diante d'elles.
On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
21 E metter-se-hão pelas fendas das rochas, e pelas cavernas das penhas, por causa da presença espantosa do Senhor, e por causa da gloria da sua magestade, quando elle se levantar para espantar a terra.
Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
22 Pelo que deixae-vos do homem cujo folego está no seu nariz; porque em que se deve elle estimar?
[So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
