Isaiah 5
1 [Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
Agora cantarei ao meu amado o cântico do meu bem querido da sua vinha. O meu amado tem uma vinha num outeiro fértil.
2 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.
E a cercou, e a limpou das pedras, e a plantou de excelentes vides; e edificou no meio dela uma torre, e também fundou nela um lagar; e esperava que desse uvas boas, porém deu uvas bravas.
3 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].
Agora pois, ó moradores de Jerusalém, e homens de Judá, julgai, vos peço, entre mim e a minha vinha.
4 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!
Que mais se podia fazer à minha vinha, que eu lhe não tenha feito? como, esperando eu que desse uvas boas, veio a dar uvas bravas?
5 [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.
Agora pois vos farei saber o que eu hei de fazer à minha vinha: tirarei a sua cerca, para que sirva de pasto; derribarei a sua parede, para que seja pisada;
6 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.”
E a tornarei em deserto; não será podada nem cavada; porém crescerão nela sarças e espinheiros; e às nuvens darei ordem que não chovam chuva sobre ela.
7 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.
Porque a vinha do Senhor dos exércitos é a casa de Israel, e os homens de Judá são a planta das suas delícias: e esperou que fizesse juízo, e eis aqui é opressão; justiça, e eis aqui clamor.
8 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.
Ai dos que ajuntam casa a casa, achegam herdade a herdade, até que não haja mais lugar, e só vós fiqueis os moradores no meio da terra!
9 [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.
Nos meus ouvidos estão estas coisas, disse o Senhor dos exércitos: em verdade que muitas casas se tornarão em deserto, as grandes e excelentes sem moradores.
10 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].”
E dez geiras de vinha não darão mais do que um bato: e um homer de semente não dará mais do que um efa
11 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.
Ai dos que se levantam pela manhã, e seguiram a bebedice; e se detêm ali até à noite, até que o vinho os esquenta!
12 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.
E harpas e alaúdes, tamboris e gaitas, e vinho há nos seus banquetes; e não olham para a obra do Senhor, nem consideram as obras das suas mãos.
13 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.
Portanto o meu povo será levado cativo, porque não tem entendimento; e os seus nobres terão fome, e a sua multidão se secará de sede
14 [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)
Portanto a sepultura grandemente se alargou, e se abriu a sua boca desmesuradamente; e a glória deles, e a sua multidão, com o seu arruído, e com os que galhofam a ela desceram. (Sheol h7585)
15 [Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
Então o plebeu se abaterá, e o nobre se humilhará; e os olhos dos altivos se humilharão.
16 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.
Porém o Senhor dos exércitos será exaltado com juízo; e Deus, o Santo, será santificado com justiça.
17 Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
Então os cordeiros pastarão como de costume, e os estranhos comerão dos lugares assolados dos gordos.
18 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!
Ai dos que puxam pela iniquidade com cordas de vaidade, e pelo pecado como com cordagens de carros!
19 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.”
E dizem: Avie-se já com isso, e acabe a sua obra, para que já a vejamos; e achegue-se e venha já o conselho do Santo de Israel, para que o venhamos a saber.
20 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.
Ai dos que ao mal chamam bem, e ao bem mal: que fazem das escuridades luz, e da luz escuridades; e fazem do amargoso doce, e do doce amargoso!
21 Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
Ai dos que são sábios a seus próprios olhos, e prudentes em si mesmos!
22 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.
Ai dos que são poderosos para beber vinho, e varões fortes para misturar bebida forte:
23 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.
Dos que justificam ao ímpio por peitas, e da justiça dos justos se desviam!
24 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.
Pelo que como a língua do fogo consome a estopa, e a palha se desfaz pela chama, assim será a sua raiz como podridão, e a sua flor se esvaecerá como pó: porquanto rejeitaram a lei do Senhor dos exércitos, e desprezaram a palavra do Santo de Israel.
25 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.
Pelo que se acendeu a ira do Senhor contra o seu povo, e estendeu a sua mão contra ele, e o feriu, de modo que as montanhas tremeram, e os seus cadáveres foram como imundícia pelo meio das ruas: com tudo isto não tornou atráz a sua ira, antes ainda está alçada a sua mão
26 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].
Porque arvorará o estandarte entre as nações de longe, e lhes assobiará a que venham desde a extremidade da terra: e eis que virão apressurada e ligeiramente.
27 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].
Não haverá entre eles cançado, nem tropeçante; ninguém tosquenejará nem dormirá: nem se lhe desatará o cinto dos seus lombos, nem se lhe quebrará a correia dos seus sapatos
28 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.
As suas flechas serão agudas, e todos os seus arcos entezados: as unhas dos seus cavalos serão tidas na conta de penha, e as rodas dos seus carros como redemoinho de vento.
29 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.
O seu bramido será como o do leão: bramarão como filhos de leão, e rugirão, e arrebatarão a preza, e a levarão, e redentor não haverá.
30 [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.
E bramarão contra eles naquele dia, como o bramido do mar: então olharão para a terra, e eis aqui trevas e ancia, e a luz se escurecerá em suas assolações.
