Isaías 6
1 No ano em que morreu o rei Uzias, eu vi ao Senhor assentado sobre um alto e sublime trono; e as suas fraldas enchiam o templo.
During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
2 Serafins estavam por cima dele: cada um tinha seis asas: com duas cobriam os seus rostos, e com duas cobriam os seus pés e com duas voavam.
Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 E clamavam uns aos outros, dizendo: Santo, Santo, Santo é o Senhor dos exércitos: toda a terra está cheia da sua glória.
They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
4 E os umbrais das portas se moveram com a voz do que clamava, e a casa se encheu de fumo.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Então disse eu: Ai de mim! que vou perecendo, porquanto sou de lábios imundos, e habito no meio dum povo imundo de lábios, porque os meus olhos viram o rei, o Senhor dos exércitos.
Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
6 Porém um dos serafins voou para mim, trazendo na sua mão uma braza viva, que tomara do altar com uma tenaz;
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 E com ela tocou a minha boca, e disse: Eis que isto tocou os teus lábios: assim já se tirou de ti a tua culpa, e já está expiado o teu pecado.
and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
8 Depois disto ouvi a voz do Senhor, que dizia: A quem enviarei, e quem há e ir por nós? Então disse eu: Eis-me aqui, envia-me a mim.
Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
9 Então disse ele: vai, e dize a este povo: Ouvi, de fato, e não entendeis, e vede, em verdade, mas não percebeis.
Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
10 Engorda o coração deste povo, e agrava-lhe os ouvidos, e fecha-lhe os olhos; para que não veja com os seus olhos, e não ouça com os seus ouvidos, nem entenda com o seu coração, nem se converta, e ele o venha a sarar.
[What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
11 Então disse eu: Até quando, Senhor? E respondeu: Até que se assolem as cidades, e não fique morador algum, nem homem algum nas casas, e a terra seja assolada de todo.
Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
12 E o Senhor alongue dela aos homens, e no meio da terra seja grande o desamparo.
[Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
13 Porém ainda a décima parte ficará nela, e tornará a ser pastada: e como no carvalho, e como na azinheira, em que depois de se desfolharem, ainda fica firmeza, assim a santa semente será a firmeza dela.
If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
