Isaías 65
1 Fui buscado dos que não perguntavam por mim, fui achado de aquelles que me não buscavam: a um povo que se não chamava do meu nome eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
[This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
2 Estendi as minhas mãos todo o dia a um povo rebelde, que caminha por caminho não bom, após os seus pensamentos:
[It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
3 Povo que me irrita diante da minha face de continuo, sacrificando em jardins e queimando incenso sobre tijolos;
They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
4 Assentando-se junto ás sepulturas, e passando as noites junto aos logares secretos: comendo carne de porco, e tendo caldo de coisas abominaveis nos seus vasos.
They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
5 E dizem: Tira-te lá, e não te chegues a mim, porque sou mais sancto do que tu. Estes são um fumo no meu nariz, um fogo que arde todo o dia.
[Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
6 Eis que está escripto diante de mim: não me calarei; porém eu pagarei, e pagarei no seu seio,
I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
7 As vossas iniquidades, e juntamente as iniquidades de vossos paes, diz o Senhor, que queimaram incenso nos montes, e me affrontaram nos outeiros: pelo que lhes tornarei a medir o galardão das suas obras antigas no seu seio.
for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
8 Assim diz o Senhor: Como quando se acha mosto n'um cacho de uvas, dizem: Não o desperdices, pois ha benção n'elle; assim eu o farei por amor de meus servos, que os não destrua a todos.
This is [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
9 E produzirei semente de Jacob, e de Judah um herdeiro, que possua os meus montes; e os meus eleitos herdarão a terra e os meus servos habitarão ali.
I will spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
10 E Saron servirá de curral de ovelhas, e o valle de Achor de malhada de gados, para o meu povo, que me buscou.
[Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
11 Mas a vós, os que vos apartaes do Senhor, os que vos esqueceis do meu sancto monte, os que pondes a mesa ao exercito, e os que misturaes a bebida para o numero,
But [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
12 Tambem eu vos contarei á espada, e todos vos encurvareis á matança; porquanto chamei, e não respondestes; fallei, e não ouvistes: mas fizestes o que mal parece aos meus olhos, e escolhestes aquillo em que não tinha prazer.
[It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
13 Pelo que assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que os meus servos comerão, porém vós padecereis fome: eis que os meus servos beberão, porém vós tereis sêde: eis que os meus servos se alegrarão, porém vós vos envergonhareis:
I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
14 Eis que os meus servos exultarão do bom animo, porém vós gritareis de tristeza de animo; e uivareis pelo quebrantamento de espirito.
Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
15 E deixareis o vosso nome aos meus eleitos por maldição; e o Senhor Jehovah te matará; e a seus servos chamará por outro nome.
Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
16 Assim que aquelle que se bemdisser na terra, se bemdirá no Deus da verdade; e aquelle que jurar na terra, jurará pelo Deus da verdade; porque já estão esquecidas as angustias passadas, e porque já estão encobertas de diante dos meus olhos
The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
17 Porque, eis que eu crio céus novos e terra nova; e não haverá mais lembrança das coisas passadas, nem mais subirão ao coração.
“Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
18 Porém vós folgareis e exultareis perpetuamente no que eu crio; porque eis que crio a Jerusalem uma alegria, e ao seu povo um gozo.
Be glad and always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
19 E folgarei em Jerusalem, e exultarei no meu povo; e nunca mais se ouvirá n'ella voz de choro nem voz de clamor.
I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
20 Não haverá mais d'ali n'ella mamante de poucos dias, nem velho que não cumpra os seus dias; porque o mancebo morrerá de cem annos; porém o peccador de cem annos será amaldiçoado.
No child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
21 E edificarão casas, e as habitarão; e plantarão vinhas, e comerão o seu fructo.
My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
22 Não edificarão para que outros habitem; não plantarão para que outros comam; porque os dias do meu povo serão como os dias da arvore, e os meus eleitos gozarão das obras das suas mãos até á velhice.
As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
23 Não trabalharão debalde, nem parirão para a perturbação; porque são a semente dos bemditos do Senhor, e os seus descendentes com elles
They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
24 E será que antes que clamem eu responderei: estando elles ainda fallando, eu os ouvirei.
Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for them].
25 O lobo e o cordeiro se apascentarão ambos juntos, e o leão comerá palha como o boi: e pó será a comida da serpente. Não farão mal nem damno algum em todo o meu sancto monte, diz o Senhor
No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
