Isaías 5
1 Agora cantarei ao meu amado o cantico do meu bem querido da sua vinha. O meu amado tem uma vinha n'um outeiro fertil.
[Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
2 E a cercou, e a limpou das pedras, e a plantou d'excellentes vides; e edificou no meio d'ella uma torre, e tambem fundou n'ella um lagar; e esperava que desse uvas boas, porém deu uvas bravas.
My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
3 Agora pois, ó moradores de Jerusalem, e homens de Judah, julgae, vos peço, entre mim e a minha vinha.
Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
4 Que mais se podia fazer á minha vinha, que eu lhe não tenha feito? como, esperando eu que desse uvas boas, veiu a dar uvas bravas?
What more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
5 Agora pois vos farei saber o que eu hei de fazer á minha vinha: tirarei a sua cerca, para que sirva de pasto; derribarei a sua parede, para que seja pisada;
[So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
6 E a tornarei em deserto; não será podada nem cavada; porém crescerão n'ella sarças e espinheiros; e ás nuvens darei ordem que não chovam chuva sobre ella.
I will cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall on it.”
7 Porque a vinha do Senhor dos Exercitos é a casa d'Israel, e os homens de Judah são a planta das suas delicias: e esperou que fizesse juizo, e eis aqui é oppressão; justiça, e eis aqui clamor.
The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
8 Ai dos que ajuntam casa a casa, achegam herdade a herdade, até que não haja mais logar, e só vós fiqueis os moradores no meio da terra!
Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
9 Nos meus ouvidos estão estas coisas, disse o Senhor dos Exercitos: em verdade que muitas casas se tornarão em deserto, as grandes e excellentes sem moradores.
[But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
10 E dez geiras de vinha não darão mais do que um batho: e um homer de semente não dará mais do que um efa
The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
11 Ai dos que se levantam pela manhã, e seguiram a bebedice; e se deteem ali até á noite, até que o vinho os esquenta!
Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
12 E harpas e alaudes, tamboris e gaitas, e vinho ha nos seus banquetes; e não olham para a obra do Senhor, nem consideram as obras das suas mãos.
They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
13 Portanto o meu povo será levado captivo, porque não tem entendimento; e os seus nobres terão fome, e a sua multidão se seccará de sêde
So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from thirst.
14 Portanto a sepultura grandemente se alargou, e se abriu a sua bocca desmesuradamente; e a gloria d'elles, e a sua multidão, com o seu arruido, e com os que galhofam a ella desceram. (Sheol h7585)
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
15 Então o plebeu se abaterá, e o nobre se humilhará; e os olhos dos altivos se humilharão.
[Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
16 Porém o Senhor dos Exercitos será exaltado com juizo; e Deus, o Sancto, será sanctificado com justiça.
But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
17 Então os cordeiros pastarão como de costume, e os estranhos comerão dos logares assolados dos gordos.
Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
18 Ai dos que puxam pela iniquidade com cordas de vaidade, e pelo peccado como com cordagens de carros!
Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
19 E dizem: Avie-se já com isso, e acabe a sua obra, para que já a vejamos; e achegue-se e venha já o conselho do Sancto de Israel, para que o venhamos a saber.
They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
20 Ai dos que ao mal chamam bem, e ao bem mal: que fazem das escuridades luz, e da luz escuridades; e fazem do amargoso doce, e do doce amargoso!
Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
21 Ai dos que são sabios a seus proprios olhos, e prudentes em si mesmos!
Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
22 Ai dos que são poderosos para beber vinho, e varões fortes para misturar bebida forte:
Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
23 Dos que justificam ao impio por peitas, e da justiça dos justos se desviam!
If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
24 Pelo que como a lingua do fogo consome a estopa, e a palha se desfaz pela chamma, assim será a sua raiz como podridão, e a sua flor se esvaecerá como pó: porquanto rejeitaram a lei do Senhor dos Exercitos, e desprezaram a palavra do Sancto de Israel.
Therefore, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Pelo que se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra o seu povo, e estendeu a sua mão contra elle, e o feriu, de modo que as montanhas tremeram, e os seus cadaveres foram como immundicia pelo meio das ruas: com tudo isto não tornou atraz a sua ira, antes ainda está alçada a sua mão
That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
26 Porque arvorará o estandarte entre as nações de longe, e lhes assobiará a que venham desde a extremidade da terra: e eis que virão apressurada e ligeiramente.
Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
27 Não haverá entre elles cançado, nem tropeçante; ninguem tosquenejará nem dormirá: nem se lhe desatará o cinto dos seus lombos, nem se lhe quebrará a correia dos seus sapatos
They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
28 As suas frechas serão agudas, e todos os seus arcos entezados: as unhas dos seus cavallos serão tidas na conta de penha, e as rodas dos seus carros como redemoinho de vento.
Their arrows will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
29 O seu bramido será como o do leão: bramarão como filhos de leão, e rugirão, e arrebatarão a preza, e a levarão, e redemptor não haverá.
They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
30 E bramarão contra elles n'aquelle dia, como o bramido do mar: então olharão para a terra, e eis aqui trevas e ancia, e a luz se escurecerá em suas assolações.
[Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
