< Isaías 55 >
1 Ó vós, todos os que tendes sêde, vinde ás aguas, e os que não tendes dinheiro, vinde, comprae, e comei; sim, vinde, pois, comprae, sem dinheiro e sem preço, vinho e leite
“All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 Porque gastaes o dinheiro n'aquillo que não é pão? e o producto do vosso trabalho n'aquillo que não pode fartar? ouvi-me attentamente, e comei o bem, e a vossa alma se deleite com a gordura.
[What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
3 Inclinae os vossos ouvidos, e vinde a mim; ouvi, e a vossa alma viverá; porque comvosco farei um concerto perpetuo, dando-vos as firmes beneficencias de David.
Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
4 Eis que eu o dei por testemunha aos povos, por principe e mandador dos povos.
By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
5 Eis que chamarás a uma nação que nunca conheceste, e uma nação que nunca te conheceu correrá para ti, por amor do Senhor teu Deus, e do Sancto de Israel; porque elle te glorificou.
And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
6 Buscae ao Senhor emquanto se pode achar, invocae-o emquanto está perto.
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
7 O impio deixe o seu caminho, e o homem maligno os seus pensamentos, e se converta ao Senhor; e se compadecerá d'elle; como tambem ao nosso Deus, porque grandioso é em perdoar.
Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
8 Porque os meus pensamentos não são os vossos pensamentos, nem os vossos caminhos os meus caminhos, diz o Senhor.
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
9 Porque, assim como os céus são mais altos do que a terra, assim são os meus caminhos mais altos do que os vossos caminhos, e os meus pensamentos mais altos do que os vossos pensamentos.
Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
10 Porque, assim como desce a chuva e a neve dos céus, e para lá não torna, porém rega a terra, e a faz produzir, e brotar, e dar semente ao semeador, e pão ao que come
Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
11 Assim será a minha palavra, que sair da minha bocca; ella não tornará a mim vazia; antes fará o que me apraz, e prosperará n'aquillo para o que a enviei.
And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
12 Porque com alegria saireis, e em paz sereis guiados: os montes e os outeiros exclamarão de prazer perante a vossa face, e todas as arvores do campo baterão as palmas.
You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
13 Em logar do espinheiro crescerá a faia, e em logar da sarça crescerá a murta: o que será para o Senhor por nome, e por signal eterno, que nunca se apagará.
Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
