Isaías 9
1 Mas a terra, que foi angustiada, não será entenebrecida; envileceu nos primeiros tempos, a terra de Zabulon, e a terra de Naphtali; mas nos ultimos a ennobreceu junto ao caminho do mar, d'além do Jordão, na Galilea dos gentios.
In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 O povo que andava em trevas, viu uma grande luz, e sobre os que habitavam na terra da sombra de morte resplandeceu uma luz.
The people who went in the dark have seen a great light, and for those who were living in the land of the deepest night, the light is shining.
3 Tu multiplicaste a este povo, porém a alegria lhe augmentaste: todos se alegrarão perante ti, como se alegram na sega, e como exultam quando se repartem os despojos.
You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.
4 Porque tu quebraste o jugo da sua carga, e o bordão dos seus hombros, e a vara do que o guiava, como no dia dos midianitas,
For by your hand the yoke on his neck and the rod on his back, even the rod of his cruel master, have been broken, as in the day of Midian.
5 Quando toda a peleja d'aquelles que pelejavam se fazia com ruido, e os vestidos se revolviam em sangue e se queimavam para pasto do fogo.
For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.
6 Porque um menino nos nasceu, um filho se nos deu, e o principado está sobre os seus hombros, e o seu nome se chama Maravilhoso, Conselheiro, Deus forte, Pae da eternidade, Principe da paz.
For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.
7 Da grandeza d'este principado e da paz não haverá fim, sobre o throno de David e no seu reino, para o firmar e o fortificar com juizo e com justiça, desde agora para sempre: o zelo do Senhor dos Exercitos fará isto.
Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
8 O Senhor enviou palavra a Jacob, e ella caiu em Israel.
The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;
9 E todo este povo o saberá, Ephraim e os moradores de Samaria, em soberba e altivez de coração, dizendo:
And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,
10 Os ladrilhos cairam, mas com cantaria tornaremos a edificar; cortaram-se as figueiras bravas, mas em cedros as mudaremos.
The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.
11 Porque o Senhor exalçará os adversarios de Resin contra elle, e misturará entre si os seus inimigos.
For this cause the Lord has made strong the haters of Israel, driving them on to make war against him;
12 Porque diante virão os syros, e por detraz os philisteos, e devorarão a Israel á bocca aberta: e nem com tudo isto se apartou a sua ira, mas ainda está estendida a sua mão
Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Porque este povo se não torna para quem o fere, nem busca ao Senhor dos Exercitos.
But the heart of the people was not turned to him who sent punishment on them, and they made no prayer to the Lord of armies.
14 Pelo que o Senhor cortará a cabeça, e a cauda, o ramo e o junco d'Israel n'um mesmo dia.
For this cause the Lord took away from Israel head and tail, high and low, in one day.
15 (O ancião e o varão de respeito é a cabeça, e o propheta que ensina a falsidade é a cauda.)
The man who is honoured and responsible is the head, and the prophet who gives false teaching is the tail.
16 Porque os guias d'este povo são enganadores, e os guiados por elles serão devorados.
For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.
17 Pelo que o Senhor não tomará contentamento nos seus mancebos, e não se compadecerá dos seus orphãos e das suas viuvas, porque todos elles são hypocritas e malfazejos, e toda a bocca falla doidices: e nem com tudo isto se apartou a sua ira, mas ainda está estendida a sua mão.
For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Porque a impiedade se accende como um fogo, e até as sarças e os espinheiros devorará: e accenderá os confusos troncos da brenha, e subirão em espessas nuvens de fumo
For evil was burning like a fire; the blackberries and thorns were burned up; the thick woods took fire, rolling up in dark clouds of smoke.
19 Pelo furor do Senhor dos Exercitos a terra se escurecerá, e será o povo como pasto do fogo; ninguem poupará ao seu irmão.
The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.
20 Se cortar da banda direita, ainda terá fome, e se comer da banda esquerda, ainda se não fartará: cada um comerá a carne de seu braço.
On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour.
21 Manassés a Ephraim, e Ephraim a Manassés, e ambos elles serão contra Judah, e nem com tudo isto se apartou a sua ira, mas ainda está estendida a sua mão
Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
