Isaías 26
1 N'aquelle dia se cantará este cantico na terra de Judah: Uma forte cidade temos, Deus lhe poz a salvação por muros e antemuros.
Some day, [people in] Judah will sing this song: Our city [of Jerusalem] is strong! Yahweh protects our city; He is like [MET] a wall that surrounds it.
2 Abri as portas, para que entre n'ellas a nação justa, que observa a verdade.
Open the gates of the city for people who are righteous; allow people who faithfully [obey Yahweh] to enter the city.
3 Tu conservarás em paz aquelle cuja mente está firme em ti, porque confiará em ti
Yahweh, those who trust in you, those who firmly resolve to never doubt you, you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
4 Confiae no Senhor perpetuamente; porque em Deus Senhor ha uma rocha eterna.
[So] always trust in Yahweh, because Yahweh, [our God], is forever [like] [MET] a huge rock [under which we are sheltered/protected/safe].
5 Porque elle abate os que habitam em logares sublimes, como tambem a cidade exalçada humilhará até ao chão, e a derribará até ao pó
He humbles proud people and destroys cities whose people are arrogant. He causes those cities to collapse into the dust/dirt.
6 O pé a atropellará; os pés dos afflictos, e os passos dos pobres.
[When that happens], poor and oppressed people will trample on the ruins.
7 O caminho do justo é todo plano: tu rectamente pesas o andar do justo.
[But as for] righteous people, Yahweh, you do what is right; [it is as though] you cause the paths where they walk to be level and smooth.
8 Até no caminho dos teus juizos, Senhor, te esperamos, no teu nome e na tua lembrança está o desejo da nossa alma.
Yahweh, by obeying your laws we show that we trust you to help us; and what we desire is that you will be honored/praised/exalted.
9 Na minha alma te desejei de noite, e com o meu espirito, que está dentro de mim, madrugarei a buscar-te; porque, havendo os teus juizos na terra, os moradores do mundo aprendem justiça.
[All] through the night I [SYN] desire to know you better, and each morning I still want to be with you. [Only] when you come to judge [and punish] people who live on the earth will they learn to do what is right.
10 Ainda que se faça favor ao impio, nem por isso aprende a justiça; até na terra da rectidão obra iniquidade, e não olha para a alteza do Senhor.
[But] your acting kindly toward wicked people does not cause them to do what is good. [Even] in places where people do what is right, the wicked people continue to do what is evil, and they do not realize that you, Yahweh, are great.
11 Ó Senhor, ainda que esteja exaltada a tua mão, nem por isso a vêem: vel-a-hão, porém, e confundir-se-hão por causa do zelo que tens do teu povo; e o fogo consumirá a teus adversarios.
Yahweh, [it is as though] your fist is raised up [ready to strike them], but they do not realize that. Show them that you are very eager to help your people. If your enemies would realize that, they would be ashamed; allow your fire to burn them up [because they are] your enemies.
12 Ó Senhor, tu nos darás a paz, porque tu és o que fizeste em nós todas as nossas obras.
Yahweh, [we desire that] you will allow things to go well for us; everything that we have done is what you have enabled us to do.
13 Ó Senhor Deus nosso, já outros senhores teem tido dominio sobre nós; porém, por ti só, nos lembramos do teu nome
Yahweh, our God, others have ruled over us, but you [MTY] are the only one whom we honor.
14 Morrendo elles, não tornarão a viver; fallecendo, não resuscitarão; por isso os visitaste e destruiste, e apagaste toda a sua memoria.
Those who ruled us are [now] gone; they are dead; their spirits have left this earth, and they will not become alive [again]. You punished those rulers and got rid of them, and people do not even remember them any more.
15 Tu, Senhor, augmentaste a esta gente, tu augmentaste a esta gente, fizeste-te glorioso; mas longe os lançaste, a todos os fins da terra.
Yahweh, you have enabled our nation to become great; we are more in [now], and we have more land, [so we] thank/praise you.
16 Ó Senhor, no aperto te visitaram; vindo sobre elles a tua correcção, derramaram a sua oração secreta.
Yahweh, when we were distressed, we asked you [to help us]; when you disciplined/punished us, we were able only to whisper when we prayed to you.
17 Como a mulher gravida, quando está proxima ao parto, tem dôres do parto, e dá gritos nas suas dôres, assim fomos nós por causa da tua face, ó Senhor!
Like pregnant women writhe and cry out when they are giving birth, we suffered very much, too.
18 Bem concebemos nós, e tivemos dôres de parto, porém parimos só vento: livramento não trouxemos á terra, nem cairam os moradores do mundo
We had severe pain, but nothing good resulted [MET] from it. We have not rescued our people [from being conquered by our enemies], and we have not given birth to children [who will rule the world correctly] (OR, not defeated the armies [that have attacked other nations].
19 Os teus mortos viverão, como tambem o meu corpo morto, e assim resuscitarão; despertae e exultae, os que habitaes no pó, porque o teu orvalho será como o orvalho de hortaliças, e a terra lançará de si os mortos
But Yahweh’s people who have died will become alive [again], their corpses will become alive! Those whose bodies lie in graves will rise and shout joyfully! His light will be [like] dew that falls on his people who have died, who are [now] in the place where the dead people are, [and will cause them to become alive again].
20 Vae pois, povo meu, entra nos teus quartos, e fecha as tuas portas sobre ti: esconde-te por um só momento, até que passe a ira.
But now, my people/fellow-citizens, go home and lock your doors! Hide for a short time, until [Yahweh] is no longer angry.
21 Porque eis-que o Senhor sairá do seu logar, para castigar os moradores da terra, por causa da sua iniquidade, e a terra descobrirá o seu sangue, e não encobrirá mais os seus mortos á espada.
Listen to this: Yahweh will come from heaven to punish [all] the people on the earth for the sins that they have committed. People will be able to see [PRS] the (blood of those/the people) who have been murdered; their murderers will no longer be able to hide.
