Isaías 52
1 Despertai, despertai! Ponha suas forças, Zion. Vista suas belas vestes, Jerusalém, a cidade santa, pois de agora em diante os incircuncisos e os impuros não mais entrarão em você.
[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 Sacuda-se do pó! Levante-se, sente-se, Jerusalém! Liberte-se dos laços de seu pescoço, filha cativa de Zion!
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 Para Yahweh diz: “Você foi vendido por nada; e você será resgatado sem dinheiro”.
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 Para o Senhor Yahweh diz: “Meu povo desceu pela primeira vez ao Egito para viver lá; e o assírio os oprimiu sem causa.
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 “Agora, portanto, o que eu faço aqui”, diz Yahweh, “vendo que meu povo é levado para nada? Aqueles que governam sobre eles zombam”, diz Yahweh, “e meu nome é blasfemado continuamente durante todo o dia”.
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 Portanto, meu povo deve saber meu nome. Portanto, eles saberão naquele dia que eu sou aquele que fala. Eis que sou eu”.
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 bonitos nas montanhas os pés daquele que traz boas notícias, que publica a paz, que traz boas notícias, que proclama a salvação, que diz a Sião: “Seu 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 Seus vigilantes levantam sua voz. Juntos eles cantam; pois eles estarão de acordo quando Yahweh retornar a Zion.
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 Entre na alegria! Cantem juntos, vocês desperdiçam lugares de Jerusalém; pois Yahweh tem confortado seu povo. Ele resgatou 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 Yahweh fez seu braço sagrado ficar nu aos olhos de todas as nações. Todos os confins da Terra viram 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 Partida! Partida! Saia de lá! Não toque em nada impuro! Saia do meio dela! Limpem-se, vocês que carregam as embarcações de Yahweh.
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 Para você não deve sair à pressa, também não deve ir de avião; para Yahweh irá antes de você, e o Deus de Israel será sua 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 tratará sabiamente. Ele será exaltado e erguido, e será muito alto.
[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 Muitos também ficaram surpresos com você. sua aparência foi prejudicada mais do que qualquer homem, e sua forma mais do que 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 para que ele limpe muitas nações. Os reis vão fechar a boca para ele; pois eles verão o que não lhes havia sido dito, e eles entenderão o que não tinham ouvido.
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].
