Isaías 63
1 Quem é este, que vem de Edom, de Bozra, com vestes salpicadas de vermelho, este ornado em sua vestimenta, que marcha com grande força? Eu, o que falo em justiça, poderoso para salvar.
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
2 Por que tu estás de roupa vermelha, e tuas vestes como de alguém que pisa em uma prensa de uvas?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
3 Eu sozinho pisei na prensa de uvas, e ninguém dos povos houve comigo; e os pisei em minha ira, e os esmaguei em meu furor; e o sangue deles salpicou sobre minhas roupas, e sujei toda a minha roupa.
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
4 Porque o dia da vingança estava em meu coração; e o ano de meus redimidos havia chegado.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
5 E olhei, e não havia quem [me] ajudasse; e me espantei de que não houvesse quem [me] apoiasse; por isso meu braço me trouxe a salvação, e meu furor me apoiou.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
6 E atropelei os povos em minha ira, e os embebedei em meu furor; e fiz descer o sangue deles até a terra.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
7 Farei menção das bondades do SENHOR, [e] dos louvores ao SENHOR, conforme tudo quanto o SENHOR fez para nós; e do grande bem à casa de Israel, que ele tem lhes concedido segundo suas misericórdias, e segundo a abundância de suas bondades;
I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
8 Pois ele dizia: Certamente eles são meu povo, são filhos que não mentirão; assim ele se tornou o Salvador deles.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
9 Em toda a angústia deles, ele [também] se angustiou, e o anjo de sua presença os salvou; por seu amor e por sua piedade ele os redimiu; e os tomou, e os carregou [em] todos os dias antigos.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
10 Porém eles foram rebeldes, e entristeceram seu Espírito Santo; por isso ele se tornou inimigo deles, [e] ele mesmo lutou contra eles.
But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
11 Contudo ele se lembrou dos dias antigos, de Moisés, [e] de seu povo. Onde está aquele que os fez subir do mar com os pastores de seu rebanho? Onde está aquele que punha no meio deles seu Espírito Santo?
Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
12 [Onde está] aquele que fez seu glorioso braço andar à direita de Moisés, que dividiu as águas perante a presença deles, para fazer seu nome eterno;
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 Que os guiou pelos abismos como cavalo no deserto, [de tal modo que] nunca tropeçaram?
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
14 Tal como um animal que desce aos vales, o Espírito do SENHOR lhes deu descanso; assim guiaste a teu povo, para fazeres teu nome ser glorioso.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
15 Olha desde os céus, e vê desde tua santa e gloriosa habitação; onde está teu zelo e tuas forças? A comoção dos sentimentos de teu interior e de tuas misericórdias se retiveram para comigo.
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
16 Porém tu és nosso Pai, porque Abraão não sabe de nós, nem Israel nos conhece. Tu, SENHOR, és nosso Pai; desde os tempos antigos o teu nome é Nosso Redentor.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
17 Por que, ó SENHOR, tu nos fazes andar fora de teus caminhos? Por que endureces nosso coração para que não tenhamos temor a ti? Volta, por favor a teus servos, às tribos de tua herança.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Por um pouco de tempo teu santo povo [a] possuiu; nossos adversários pisaram teu santuário.
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Nós nos tornamos [como aqueles] de quem nunca dominaste, [semelhantes] aos que nunca foram chamados pelo teu nome.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
