< Isaiah 1 >

1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Visão de Isaías, filho de Amoz, a qual ele viu sobre Judá e Jerusalém, nos dias de Uzias, Jotão, Acaz [e] Ezequias, reis de Judá.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Ouvi, ó céus; e escutai tu, terra, porque o SENHOR está falando: Eu criei filhos, e os fiz crescerem; porém eles se rebelaram contra mim.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
O boi conhece a seu dono, e o jumento [sabe] a manjedoura de seu possuidor; [mas] Israel não conhece, meu povo não entende.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Ai da nação pecadora, do povo cheio de perversidade, semente de malfeitores, de filhos corruptos! Abandonaram ao SENHOR, provocaram a ira ao Santo de Israel, [dele] se afastaram.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Para que seríeis espancados ainda mais? Vós vos rebelaríeis mais ainda. Toda a cabeça está enferma, e todo o coração fraco.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Desde a planta do pé até a cabeça, não há nele coisa sã. [Só há] feridas, inchaços e chagas podres, sem terem sido espremidas, feito curativos ou aliviadas com azeite.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Vossa terra é uma ruína; vossas cidades foram queimadas; vossa terra os estranhos devastaram diante de vossa presença, e está arruinada como que destruída por estranhos.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
E a filha de Sião ficou como uma cabana na vinha, como um barraco no pepinal, como uma cidade cercada.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Se o SENHOR dos exércitos não tivesse nos deixado alguns sobreviventes, teríamos sido como Sodoma, seríamos semelhantes aos de Gomorra.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, vós líderes de Sodoma! Ouvi a Lei do nosso Deus, vós povo de Gomorra!:
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
Para que me [serve] tantos sacrifícios vossos?, diz o SENHOR; Já estou farto de sacrifícios de queima de carneiros, e da gordura de animais cevados. Não me alegro com o sangue de bezerros, nem com o de cordeiros ou bodes.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Quando vindes a aparecer perante minha face, quem vos pediu isso de vossas mãos, de pisardes em meus pátios?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Não tragais mais ofertas inúteis; [vosso] incenso para mim é abominação; não aguento [mais] as luas novas, os sábados, e as chamadas para o povo se reunir; [todas estas] se tornaram reuniões malignas.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Vossas luas novas e vossas solenidades, minha alma as odeia e elas me perturbam; estou cansado de [as] suportar.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Por isso quando estendeis vossas mãos, escondo meus olhos de vós; até quando fazeis muitas orações, eu não [vos] ouço; [porque] vossas mãos estão cheias de sangue.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Lavai-vos! Purificai-vos! Tirai a maldade de vossas atitudes perante meus olhos; parai de fazer maldades.
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
Aprendei a fazer o bem; procurai o que é justo; ajudai ao oprimido; fazei justiça ao órfão; defendei a causa da viúva.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Vinde, então, e façamos as contas, diz o SENHOR: ainda que vossos pecados sejam como a escarlate, eles ficarão brancos como a neve; ainda que sejam vermelhos como o carmesim, eles se tornarão como a lã.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Se quiserdes e ouvirdes, comereis o que é bom da terra.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Porém se recusardes e fordes rebeldes, sereis devorados pela espada; pois [foi assim que] a boca do SENHOR falou.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Como a cidade fiel se tornou uma prostituta! Ela estava cheia de juízo, justiça habitava nela; porém agora homicidas.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Tua prata se tornou em escórias; teu vinho se misturou com água.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Teus príncipes são rebeldes, e companheiros de ladrões; cada um deles ama os subornos, e perseguem recompensas; não fazem justiça ao órfão, e não chega perante eles a causa das viúvas.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Por isso diz o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos, o Poderoso de Israel: Ah, tomarei satisfações quanto aos meus adversários, e me vingarei de meus inimigos.
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
E tornarei minha minha mão contra ti, e purificarei por completo tuas escórias; e tirarei toda a tua impureza.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
E restituirei a teus juízes, como da primeira vez, e a teus conselheiros, como no princípio; e depois disso te chamarão cidade da justiça, cidade fiel.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Sião será resgatada por meio do juízo; e os que retornarem a ela, por meio da justiça.
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Mas para os transgressores e pecadores, serão juntamente quebrados; e os que deixarem ao SENHOR serão consumidos.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Porque pelos carvalhos que cobiçastes serão confundidos; e pelos bosques que escolhestes sereis envergonhados;
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Porque sereis como o carvalho ao qual suas folhas caem, e como o bosque que não tem água.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
E o forte se tornará em estopa, e sua obra, em faísca; e ambos serão juntamente queimados, e não haverá quem [os] apague.
