Isaías 24
1 Eis que o Senhor esvazia a terra, e a desola, e transtorna a sua face, e espalha os seus moradores.
Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
2 E assim como fôr o povo, assim será o sacerdote; como o servo, assim o seu senhor; como a serva, assim a sua senhora; como o comprador, assim o vendedor; como o que empresta, assim o que toma emprestado; como o que dá usura, assim o que toma usura.
And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 De todo se esvaziará a terra, e de todo será saqueada, porque o Senhor pronunciou esta palavra.
The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 A terra pranteia e se murcha: o mundo enfraquece e se murcha: enfraquecem os mais altos do povo da terra.
The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 Porque a terra está contaminada por causa dos seus moradores; porquanto trespassam as leis, mudam os estatutos, e aniquilam a alliança eterna.
And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Por isso a maldição consome a terra; e os que habitam n'ella serão desolados; por isso serão queimados os moradores da terra, e poucos homens ficarão de resto.
Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 Pranteia o mosto, enfraquece a vida; e suspirarão todos os alegres de coração.
The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 Já cessou o folguedo dos tamboris, acabou o arruido dos que pulam de prazer, e descançou a alegria da harpa.
The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 Com cantares não beberão vinho; a bebida forte será amarga para os que a beberem.
They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Já demolida está a cidade vazia, todas as casas fecharam, ninguem já pode entrar.
The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Um lastimoso clamor por causa do vinho se ouve nas ruas: toda a alegria se escureceu, já se desterrou o gozo da terra.
There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Desolação ainda ficou de resto na cidade, e com estalidos se quebra a porta.
Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 Porque assim será no interior da terra, e no meio d'estes povos, como a sacudidura da oliveira, e como os rabiscos, quando está acabada a vindima.
For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Estes alçarão a sua voz, e cantarão com alegria; e por causa da gloria do Senhor exultarão desde o mar
These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 Por isso glorificae ao Senhor nos valles, e nas ilhas do mar ao nome do Senhor Deus d'Israel.
Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 Dos ultimos fins da terra ouvimos psalmos para gloria do Justo; porém agora digo eu: Emmagreço, emmagreço, ai de mim! os perfidos tratam perfidamente, e com perfidia tratam os perfidos perfidamente.
From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 O temor, e a cova, e o laço veem sobre ti, ó morador da terra.
Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 E será que aquelle que fugir da voz do temor cairá na cova, e o que subir da cova o laço o prenderá; porque já as janellas do alto se abrem, e os fundamentos da terra tremerão.
And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 De todo será quebrantada a terra, de todo se romperá a terra, e de todo se moverá a terra.
The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20 De todo balanceará a terra como o bebado, e será movida e removida como a choça de noite; e a sua transgressão se aggravará sobre ella, e cairá, e nunca mais se levantará.
The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 E será que n'aquelle dia o Senhor visitará os exercitos do alto na altura, e os reis da terra sobre a terra.
And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 E juntamente serão amontoados como presos n'uma masmorra, e serão encarcerados n'um carcere: e outra vez serão visitados depois de muitos dias.
And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 E a lua se envergonhará, e o sol se confundirá quando o Senhor dos Exercitos reinar no monte de Sião e em Jerusalem; e então perante os seus anciãos haverá gloria.
And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
