< Isaías 60 >

1 Levanta-te, esclarece, porque já vem a tua luz, e a gloria do Senhor já vae nascendo sobre ti.
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
2 Porque eis que as trevas cobriram a terra, e a escuridão os povos; porém sobre ti o Senhor virá nascendo, e a sua gloria se verá sobre ti.
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 E as nações caminharão á tua luz, e os reis ao resplandor que te nasceu.
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
4 Levanta em redor os teus olhos, e vê; todos estes já se ajuntaram, e veem a ti: teus filhos virão de longe, e tuas filhas se crearão á tua ilharga.
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
5 Então o verás, e serás illuminado, e o teu coração se espantará e alargará; porque a abundancia do mar se tornará a ti, e as riquezas das nações virão a ti.
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
6 A multidão de camelos te cobrirá, os dromedarios de Midian e Epha; todos virão de Seba: oiro e incenso trarão, e publicarão os louvores do Senhor.
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
7 Todas as ovelhas de Kedar se congregarão a ti, os carneiros de Nebaioth te servirão: com agrado subirão ao meu altar, e eu glorificarei a casa da minha gloria.
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 Quem são estes que veem voando como nuvens, e como pombas ás suas janellas?
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
9 Certamente as ilhas me aguardarão, e primeiro os navios de Tarsis, para trazer teus filhos de longe, a sua prata e o seu oiro com elles, para o nome do Senhor teu Deus, e para o Sancto de Israel, porquanto te glorificou.
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.
10 E os filhos dos estrangeiros edificarão os teus muros, e os seus reis te servirão; porque no meu furor te feri, porém na minha benignidade tive misericordia de ti
Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
11 E as tuas portas estarão abertas de continuo, nem de dia nem de noite se fecharão; para que tragam a ti as riquezas das nações, e, conduzidos com ellas, os seus reis.
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 Porque a nação e o reino que te não servirem perecerão; e as taes nações de todo serão assoladas.
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
13 A gloria do Libano virá a ti; a faia, o pinheiro, e o buxo juntamente, para ornarem o logar do meu sanctuario, e glorificarei o logar dos meus pés.
The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!
14 Tambem virão a ti, inclinando-se, os filhos dos que te opprimiram; e prostrar-se-hão ás plantas dos teus pés todos os que te blasphemaram; e chamar-te-hão a cidade do Senhor, a Sião do Sancto de Israel.
The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
15 Em logar de que foste deixada, e aborrecida, e ninguem passava por ti, te porei uma excellencia perpetua, um gozo de geração em geração.
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
16 E mamarás o leite das nações, e mamarás os peitos dos reis; e saberás que eu sou o Senhor, o teu Salvador, e o teu Redemptor, o Possante de Jacob.
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
17 Por cobre trarei oiro, e por ferro trarei prata, e por madeira bronze, e por pedras ferro: e farei pacificos os teus inspectores e justos os teus exactores.
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
18 Nunca mais se ouvirá violencia na tua terra, desolação nem destruição nos teus termos; mas aos teus muros chamarás salvação, e ás tuas portas louvor.
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
19 Nunca mais te servirá o sol para luz do dia, nem com o seu resplandor a lua te alumiará; mas o Senhor será a tua luz perpetua, e o teu Deus a tua gloria.
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
20 Nunca mais se porá o teu sol, nem a tua lua minguará; porque o Senhor será a tua luz perpetua, e os dias do teu luto se virão a acabar.
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
21 E todos os do teu povo serão justos, para sempre herdarão a terra; serão renovos por mim plantados, obra das minhas mãos, para que seja glorificado.
Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
22 O mais pequeno virá a ser mil, e o minimo um povo grandissimo: eu, o Senhor, ao seu tempo o farei promptamente.
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
