Isaías 5
1 Agora cantarei a meu amado o cântico de meu querido de sua vinha: meu amado tem uma vinha, em um morro fértil;
[Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
2 E a cercou, e limpou das pedras, e a plantou de excelentes videiras, e edificou no meio dela uma torre; e também fundou nela uma prensa de uvas; e esperava que desse uvas boas, porém deu uvas imprestáveis.
My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
3 E agora, ó moradores de Jerusalém, e vós homens de Judá? Julgai, eu vos peço, entre mim e minha vinha.
Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
4 O que mais podia ser feito à minha vinha, que eu não tenha já feito? Se eu esperava uvas boas, como, pois, veio dar uvas imprestáveis?
What more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
5 Por isso agora eu vos farei saber o que farei à minha vinha: tirarei sua cerca, para que sirva de pastagem; derrubarei seu muro, para que seja pisada;
[So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
6 E eu a tornarei uma [terra] abandonada; não será podada, nem cavada; mas crescerão [nela] cardos e espinhos; e darei ordens às nuvens, para que não chovam chuva sobre ela.
I will cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall on it.”
7 Porque a vinha do SENHOR dos exércitos é a casa de Israel, e os homens de Judá são suas plantas agradáveis; porém ele esperava juízo, e eis aqui opressão; [ele esperava] justiça, e eis aqui clamor.
The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
8 Ai dos que juntam uma casas, [e] acumulam propriedades de terra, até que não tenha sobrado mais lugar, para que somente vós fiqueis como moradores no meio da terra.
Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
9 O SENHOR dos exércitos [disse] aos meus ouvidos: Verdadeiramente muitas casas se tornarão desertas, [até] as grandes e valiosas ficarão sem moradores!
[But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
10 E dez jeiras de vinha darão [apenas] um bato; e um ômer de semente dará [apenas] um efa.
The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
11 Ai dos que se levantam cedo pela manhã, para buscarem bebida alcoólica, e continuam até a noite, [até que] o vinho os esquente.
Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
12 E harpas, liras, tamborins, gaitas e vinho há em seus banquetes; porém não olham para a obra do SENHOR, nem veem a obra de suas próprias mãos.
They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
13 Por isso meu povo será levado cativo, porque não tem conhecimento; seus nobres terão fome, e sua multidão se secará de sede.
So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from thirst.
14 Por isso o Xeol alargou seu avidez, e sua boca se abriu tanto que não se pode medir, e [ali] descerão a nobreza e também a multidão, em meio a barulhos e com os que festejam. (Sheol h7585)
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
15 Então as pessoas serão rebaixadas, e os homens serão humilhados; e os olhos dos arrogantes se humilharão.
[Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
16 Mas o SENHOR dos exércitos será exaltado com juízo; e Deus, o Santo, será santificado com justiça.
But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
17 E os cordeiros pastarão como se fosse seus próprios pastos, e os estranhos comerão [do alimento proveniente] dos lugares abandonados dos ricos.
Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
18 Ai dos que puxam perversidade com cordas de futilidade, e pelo pecado como que [com] cordas de carruagens!
Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
19 E dizem: Que ele se apresse, acelere sua obra, para que a vejamos; e aproxime-se e venha o conselho do Santo de Israel, para que possamos saber.
They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
20 Ai dos que chamam o mal de bem, e o bem de mal; que trocam as trevas pela luz, e a luz pelas trevas; e trocam o amargo pelo doce, e o doce pelo amargo!
Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
21 Ai dos [que se acham] sábios aos seus próprios olhos, e prudentes para si mesmos!
Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
22 Ai dos [que se acham] corajosos para beberem vinho, e homens fortes para misturarem bebida alcoólica!
Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
23 [Ai d] os que inocentam o perverso por causa de suborno, e se desviam da justiça dos justos!
If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
24 Por isso, como a língua de fogo consome a estopa, e a chama queima a palha, [assim] sua raiz será como podridão, e sua flor se desfará como o pó; pois rejeitaram a Lei do SENHOR dos exércitos, e desprezaram a palavra do Santo de Israel.
Therefore, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Por isso se acendeu a ira do SENHOR contra seu povo, e estendeu sua mão contra ele, e o feriu; e as montanhas tremeram, e seus cadáveres foram como lixo no meio das ruas; com tudo isto ele não retrocedeu sua ira; ao contrário, sua mão ainda está estendida.
That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
26 E ele levantará uma bandeira para as nações distantes, e lhes assoviará desde os confins da terra; e eis que virão com rapidez apressadamente.
Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
27 Não haverá entre eles cansado ou quem tropece; ninguém cochilará, nem dormirá; nem se desatará o cinto de seus lombos, nem será arrebentada a tira de seus calçados.
They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
28 Suas flechas estarão afiadas, e todos os seus arcos prontos para atirar; os cascos de seus cavalos serão comparáveis a rochas, e as rodas [de suas carruagens] como redemoinhos de vento.
Their arrows will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
29 O rugido deles será como o de um leão feroz, e bramarão como filhotes de leão; e rugirão, e tomarão a presa, e a levarão, e não haverá quem [a] resgate.
They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
30 E bramarão contra ela naquele dia como o bramido do mar; então olharão para a terra, e eis que há trevas [e] aflição; e a luz se escurecerá em suas nuvens.
[Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
