Isaías 2
1 Palavra vista por Isaías, filho de Amoz, quanto a Judá e a Jerusalém:
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
2 E acontecerá no últimos dias, que o monte da cada do SENHOR se firmará no cume dos montes, e se levantará por cima dos morros; e correrão em direção a ele todas as nações.
[I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
3 E muitos povos irão, e dirão: Vinde, subamos ao monte do SENHOR, à casa do Deus de Jacó, para que ele nos ensine sobre seus caminhos, e andemos em suas veredas; Porque de Sião virá a Lei, e de Jerusalém a palavra do SENHOR.
People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
4 E ele julgará entre as nações, e repreenderá a muitos povos; e trocarão suas espadas em enxadas, e suas lanças em foices; não se levantará mais espada nação contra nação, nem aprenderão mais a fazer guerra.
Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
5 Casa de Jacó, vinde, e andemos à luz do SENHOR.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
6 Mas tu, [SENHOR], desamparaste a teu povo, à casa de Jacó; porque se encheram [dos costumes] do oriente, e são místicos como os filisteus; e se associam a filhos de estrangeiros.
[Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
7 A terra deles está cheia de prata e de ouro, e os tesouros deles não têm fim; a terra deles está cheia de cavalos, e as carruagens deles não têm fim.
Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
8 A terra deles também está cheia de ídolos; eles se inclinam perante as obras de suas próprias mãos, perante o que seus próprios dedos fizeram.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 Ali as pessoas se abatem, e os homens se humilham; por isso tu não os perdoarás.
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
10 Entra nas rochas, e esconde-te no pó, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e da glória de sua majestade.
All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
11 Os olhos arrogantes dos homens serão abatidos, e o orgulho dos homens será humilhado; e só o SENHOR será exaltado naquele dia.
Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
12 Porque o dia do SENHOR dos exércitos será contra o soberbo e o arrogante; e contra todo de que [se acha] exaltado, para que seja abatido.
The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
13 E contra todos os cedros do Líbano, altos e elevados; e contra todos os carvalhos de Basã.
[He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
14 E contra todos os altos montes, e contra todos os morros elevados.
He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
15 E contra toda torre alta, e contra todo muro fortificado.
He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
16 E contra todos os navios de Társis, e contra todas as pinturas desejadas.
He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
17 E a soberba do homem será humilhada, e o orgulho dos homens será abatido; e só o SENHOR será exaltado naquele dia.
He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
18 E todos os ídolos serão eliminados por completo.
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
19 Então entrarão nas cavernas das rochas, e nos buracos da terra, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar, para espantar a terra.
When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
20 Naquele dia, o homem lançará seus ídolos de prata, e seus ídolos de ouro, que fizeram para se prostrarem diante deles, às toupeiras e aos morcegos.
On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
21 E se porão nas fendas das rochas, e nas cavernas das penhas, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa da glória de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar para espantar a terra.
Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
22 [Portanto, ] cessai de [confiar no] homem, cujo fôlego está em suas narinas; pois o que há nele que mereça se dar algum valor?
[So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
