Isaías 24

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Eis que o Senhor devasta a terra e a torna deserta, transtorna a sua face e dispersa seus habitantes.	1 Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
2 Isso acontece ao sacerdote como ao leigo, ao senhor como ao escravo, à senhora como à serva, ao vendedor como ao comprador, ao que empresta como ao que toma emprestado, ao credor como ao devedor.	2 And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 A terra será totalmente devastada, inteiramente pilhada, porque o Senhor assim o decidiu.	3 The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 A terra está na desolação, murcha; o mundo definha e esmorece, e os chefes do povo estão aterrados.	4 The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 A terra foi profanada por seus habitantes, porque transgrediram as leis, violaram as regras e romperam a aliança eterna.	5 And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Por isso a maldição devora a terra e seus habitantes expiam suas penas; os habitantes da terra são consumidos, um pequeno número de homens sobrevive.	6 Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 O mosto está triste, a vinha, murcha, e os que tinham o coração em alegria suspiram.	7 The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 O som alegre dos tamborins cessou, os risos morreram e o som alegre da cítara calou-se.	8 The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 Não se canta mais bebendo vinho. O licor é amargo ao bebedor.	9 They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 A cidade desordenada está em ruínas, todas as casas fechadas, para que ninguém possa entrar nelas.	10 The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Gritam nas ruas: Não há mais vinho! Acabada a alegria, o regozijo foi banido da terra.	11 There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Na cidade só restam escombros e a porta arrombada está em pedaços,	12 Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 pois isso acontece na terra, no meio dos povos, como com as oliveiras que alguém vareja, como com as uvas que, acabada a vindima, alguém rebusca.	13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Eles elevam a voz e cantam, do lado do mar aclamam a majestade do Senhor:	14 These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 Glorificai, pois, ao Senhor, nas regiões da luz, e, nas ilhas do mar, o nome do Senhor, Deus de Israel.	15 Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 Dos confins da terra, ouvimos cantar: Honra ao justo! Eu, porém, disse: Infeliz de mim, infeliz de mim! Ai de mim! Os salteadores saqueiam, os salteadores obstinam-se na pilhagem.	16 From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 O terror, a fossa e a cilada vão apanhar-te, habitante da terra.	17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 O que fugir para escapar do terror cairá na fossa, o que se livrar da fossa será preso no laço. Porque as comportas lá do alto abrir-se-ão e os fundamentos da terra serão abalados.	18 And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 A terra é feita em pedaços: estala, fende-se, é sacudida,	19 The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20 cambaleia como um homem embriagado e balança como uma rede. Seus crimes pesam sobre ela, e ela cairá para não mais se levantar.	20 The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 Naquele tempo o Senhor, lá do alto, examinará a milícia celeste e os reis do mundo, sobre a terra.	21 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 Serão amontoados como prisioneiros num calabouço, serão encerrados numa prisão, e, depois de muitos dias, serão castigados.	22 And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 A lua corará de vergonha e o sol empalidecerá, porque o Senhor dos exércitos reinará sobre o monte Sião e em Jerusalém, e sua glória resplandecerá diante de seus anciãos.	23 And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
