Isaías 52
1 Desperta-te! Desperta-te! Veste-te de tua força, ó Sião! Veste-te de teus belos vestidos, ó Jerusalém, cidade Santa! Porque nunca mais entrará em ti nem incircunciso nem impuro.
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Sacode-te do pó, levanta-te, [e] senta-te, ó Jerusalém! Solta-te das ataduras de teu pescoço, ó cativa filha de Sião.
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Porque assim diz o SENHOR: Por nada fostes vendidos, também sem [ser por] dinheiro sereis resgatados.
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Meu povo em tempos passados desceu ao Egito para lá peregrinar; e a Assíria sem razão o oprimiu.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
5 E agora, o que tenho [de fazer] aqui?, Diz o SENHOR, Pois meu povo foi tomado sem motivo algum; e os que dominam sobre ele uivam, diz o SENHOR; E meu nome continuamente, durante o dia todo, é blasfemado.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Por isso meu povo conhecerá o meu nome, por esta causa naquele dia; porque eu mesmo sou o que digo, eis-me aqui.
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Como são agradáveis sobre os montes os pés daquele que dá boas notícias, que anuncia a paz; que fala notícias do bem; que anuncia a salvação; do que diz a Sião: Teu Deus reina!
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 [Eis] a voz dos teus vigilantes; eles levantam a voz, juntamente gritam de alegria; porque olho a olho verão quando o SENHOR trazer de volta a Sião.
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Gritai de alegria, jubilai juntamente, ó lugares abandonados de Jerusalém; porque o SENHOR consolou a seu povo, redimiu a Jerusalém.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 O SENHOR expôs o seu santo braço perante os olhos de todas as nações; e todos os confins da terra verão a salvação de nosso Deus.
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Retirai-vos! Retirai-vos! Saí daí! Não toqueis em coisa impura! Saí do meio dela! Purificai-vos vós que levais os vasos do SENHOR!
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Pois vós não saireis apressadamente, nem ireis fugindo; porque o SENHOR irá adiante de vossa face, o Deus de Israel será vossa retaguarda.
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Eis que meu servo agirá prudentemente; ele será exaltado e elevado, e muito sublime.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
14 Como muitos se espantaram de ti, de que a aparência dele estava tão desfigurada, mais do que qualquer outro; que seu aspecto já não [parecia] com os filhos dos homens.
But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
15 Assim ele salpicará a muitas nações, e sobre ele os reis fecharão suas bocas; porque aquilo que nunca lhes havia sido anunciado, [isso] verão; e aquilo que nunca tinham ouvido, [disso] entenderão.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
