Isaías 3
1 Porque eis que o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos tirará de Jerusalém e de Judá o apoio e o sustento: todas as fontes de comida e de água,
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 O guerreiro, o soldado, o juiz, o profeta, o adivinho, e o ancião;
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 O chefe de cinquenta, o nobre, o conselheiro, o sábio entre os artífices, e o que tem habilidade de falar palavras.
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 E [lhes] darei garotos como seus príncipes, e rapazes dominarão sobre eles.
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 E o povo será oprimido; um será contra o outro, e cada um contra seu próximo; o jovem se atreverá contra o ancião, e o reles contra o nobre.
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
6 Porque um homem tomará seu irmão da casa de seu pai, [e dirá]: Tu tens capa; sê nosso governante, e estejam estas ruínas debaixo de tua mão.
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 [Então] em tal dia ele levantará sua mão, dizendo: Não posso solucionar este problema; também em minha casa não há pão nem vestido algum; não me ponhais como governante do povo.
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 Porque Jerusalém tropeçou, e Judá está caído; pois sua língua e suas obras são contra o SENHOR, para irritar os seus gloriosos olhos.
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
9 A aparência de seus rostos dão testemunho contra eles, e mostram abertamente seus pecados; assim como Sodoma, não os disfarçam. Ai da alma deles, porque estão fazendo mal a si mesmos.
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 Dizei a justo, que o bem [lhe sucederá], que comerão do fruto de suas obras.
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 Ai do perverso! O mal [lhe sucederá], porque lhe será feito conforme o trabalho de suas mãos.
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 Os dominadores de meu povo são garotos, e mulheres dominam sobre ele; ah, meu povo, os que te guiam te enganam e confundem o caminho de tuas veredas.
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 O SENHOR se apresenta para brigar a causa judicial, e se põe para julgar aos povos.
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 O SENHOR vem a juízo contra os anciãos de seu povo, e [contra] seus líderes: Pois vós consumistes a vinha, o despojo do pobre está em vossas casas.
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 Por que vós esmagastes ao meu povo, e moestes o rosto dos pobres?, diz o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos.
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
16 Além disso o SENHOR diz: Dado que as filhas de Sião se exaltam, e andam com o pescoço levantado, e [procuram] seduzir com os olhos, e vão andando a passos curtos, fazendo ruídos com os ornamentos dos pés,
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 Por isso o Senhor fará chagas no topo das cabeças das filhas de Sião, e descobrirá suas partes íntimas.
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 Naquele dia o Senhor tirará [delas] os enfeites: tornozeleiras, testeiras, gargantilhas,
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 Brincos, pulseiras, véus,
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 Chapéus, braceletes, cintos, bolsinhas de perfume, amuletos,
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 Anéis, pingentes de nariz,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 Vestidos de festa, mantas, capas, bolsas,
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 Transparências, saias de linho, toucas e túnicas.
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 E será que, no lugar de aromas haverá fedor; e no lugar de cinto [haverá] corda; e no lugar de cabelos cacheados [haverá] calvície, e no lugar de roupa luxuosa [haverá] roupa de saco; e queimadura no lugar de beleza.
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 Teus homens cairão à espada; teus guerreiros na batalha.
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 E as portas delas gemerão, e chorarão; e ela, ficando desolada, se sentará no chão.
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
