Isaías 57
1 O justo perece, e ninguém há que pense nisso em seu coração; e os bons são levados, sem que ninguém dê atenção, que o justo é levado de diante do mal.
Righteous people [sometimes] die [when they are still young], and no one is concerned about it. Godly people [sometimes] die because of disasters, and no one understands why. They are taken away in order that they will not endure more calamities,
2 Ele entrará [em] paz; descansarão em suas camas aqueles que vivem corretamente.
and now they have peace. They [continually] lived righteously, and [now] they rest [peacefully] in their graves.
3 Mas chegai-vos aqui, filhos da adivinha, descendência adúltera, e que cometeis pecados sexuais.
[Yahweh says, ] “But you who practice sorcery, come here! You who worship idols [MET], [listen to me]!
4 De quem fazeis piadas de escárnio? Contra quem alargais a boca, e colocais a língua para fora? Por acaso não sois filhos da transgressão, [e] descendentes da falsidade?
Do you realize [RHQ] whom you are ridiculing, and whom you are insulting? Do you realize [RHQ] to whom you are sticking out your tongues? [You are insulting me, Yahweh]! You are [RHQ] always rebelling against me and always lying.
5 [Não sois] vós, que vos inflamais com os ídolos abaixo de toda árvore verde, [e] sacrificais os filhos nos vales, abaixo das fendas dos penhascos?
You are eager to have sex under every [big] green tree where you worship your gods. You kill your children as sacrifices [to your idols] in the dry riverbeds, and [also] offer them [as sacrifices to your idols] in the rocky caves.
6 Nas pedras lisas dos ribeiros está tua parte; estas, estas são aquilo que te pertence; a estas também derramas ofertas de líquidos, [e] lhe apresenta ofertas. Por acaso ficaria eu contente com estas coisas?
[You take big] smooth stones from the riverbeds and worship them as your gods. You pour out [wine] to be an offering to them, and you bring grain [to burn for] an offering to them. Do you think that I should not punish you for doing all those things?
7 Sobre altos e elevados montes pões tua cama; e a eles sobes para oferecer sacrifícios.
You have sex [EUP] [with cult prostitutes] on every hill and mountain, and you go there to offer sacrifices [to your gods].
8 E debaixo das portas e dos umbrais pões teus memoriais; porque a não a mim, mas a outros tu [te] descobres, e sobes, alargas tua cama, e fazes [pacto] com eles; amas a cama deles, a nudez que tu vês.
You have put (fetishes/pagan symbols) behind your doors and doorposts, and you have deserted me. You have taken off your clothes [EUP] and climbed into your bed and invited more [of your lovers] to come to bed with you. You have paid them to have sex with you, and you have fondled their sexual organs.
9 E foste ao rei com óleo, e multiplicaste teus perfumes; e enviaste teus embaixadores para longe, e desceste até o Xeol. (Sheol h7585)
You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol h7585)
10 Em tua longa viagem te cansaste, [porém] não disseste: Não tenho mais esperança. Achaste força em tua mão, por isso não desanimaste.
You became weary because of doing all those things, but you never said, ‘It is useless [for us to do that].’ You found new strength for worshiping idols, so you continued to do that [LIT].
11 Mas de quem tiveste receio e temeste? Por que mentiste, e não te lembraste de mim, nem pensaste em mim em teu coração? Por eu ter me calado desde muito tempo, [agora] não me temes?
Was it because you were afraid [of those idols more than you were afraid of me] that you lied [about what you were doing], and you do not even think about [DOU, RHQ] me? Was it because I did not punish you for a long time that you are not afraid of me [RHQ]?
12 Eu declararei abertamente a tua justiça, e tuas obras; mas elas não te trarão proveito.
You [think that] [IRO] the things that you have done are right, but I will tell the truth. It will not help you to do any of those things.
13 Quando tu vieres a clamar, que os ídolos que juntaste te livrem; porém o vento levará a todos eles, e um sopro os arrebatará; mas aquele que confia em mim herdará a terra, e tomará posse do meu santo monte.
When you cry out [for help] to your collection of idols, they will not rescue you. The wind will blow them away [DOU]. But those who trust in me will live in the land [of Israel], and [they will worship me on Zion], my sacred hill.”
14 E será dito: Aplanai! Aplanai! Preparai o caminho! Tirai os tropeços do caminho do meu povo!
Yahweh will say, “Prepare [yourselves to receive] me, [like] [MET] people build and prepare a road [for a king to come on]. Get rid of [the things that are causing you to sin] [like] [MET] people remove from a road (obstacles/things that cause people to stumble).
15 Porque assim diz o Alto e Sublime, que habita na eternidade, e cujo nome é santo: Na altura e no lugar santo habito; e também com o contrito e abatido espírito, para vivificar o espírito dos abatidos, e para vivificar o coração dos contritos.
Because this is what [I], Yahweh, who am holy and greatly honored and who live forever, say: I live in the highest heaven, where [everything] is holy, but I also am with those who are humble and who are sorry for the sinful things that they have done. I will greatly encourage [DOU] those who have repented.
16 Pois não brigarei para sempre, nem ficarei continuamente indignado; pois perderia todas as forças diante de mim o espírito, as almas que eu criei.
I will not accuse [people] forever; I will not always be angry [with them], because [if I did that], people would become weak/discouraged; all the people whom I created and caused to live would die.
17 Pela maldade de sua cobiça eu me indignei, e o feri; eu me escondi, e me indignei; porém ele se rebelou seguindo o caminho de seu coração.
I was angry [with my people] because they sinned by wanting the things that others had. So because I was angry, I punished them and turned away from them, but they continued sinning.
18 Tenho visto seus caminhos; porém eu o sararei, e o guiarei, e voltarei a dar consolo, a ele a os que por ele lamentam.
I have seen the evil things that they continually do, but I will restore them and lead them. I will encourage/comfort them. And to those who are mourning,
19 Eu crio os frutos dos lábios; paz, paz para os que estão longe e para os que estão perto, diz o SENHOR, e eu os sararei.
I will enable them to sing songs to praise me. I will restore [all my people], those who live near [Jerusalem] and those who live far away, and I will cause things to go well for them.
20 Mas os perversos são como o mar bravo, que não pode se aquietar.
Wicked [people do not have peace in their inner beings]; they are like [SIM] a sea [whose waves are] always churning up mud,
21 Os perversos, (diz meu Deus), não tem paz.
and [I], Yahweh, say that things will never (go well/be peaceful) for those who are evil.”
