Isaías 29

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ai de Ariel, ai de Ariel, a cidade em que Davi acampou! Ajuntai um ano a outro; que se complete um ciclo de festas,	1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded.
2 e cercarei Ariel, haverá prantos e gemidos; e tu te tornarás para mim como um ariel.	2 And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me.
3 Acamparei contra ti como Davi, cercar-te-ei de acampamentos e levantarei trincheiras contra ti.	3 And I will surround you like a sphere all around you, and I will raise up a rampart against you, and I will set up fortifications to blockade you.
4 Falarás baixinho, da terra; tua voz sufocada subirá da poeira {tua voz sairá da terra como a de um espectro, tua palavra se elevará da poeira como um ganido}.	4 You will be brought low. You will speak from the ground, and your eloquence will be heard from the dirt. And, from the ground, your voice will be like that of the python, and your eloquence will mumble from the dirt.
5 A multidão de teus inimigos será como a poeira fina; a multidão de teus soldados será como a palha, que voa, pois, de repente,	5 And the multitude of those who fan you will be like fine dust. And the multitude of those who have prevailed against you will be like embers fading away.
6 serás visitada pelo Senhor dos exércitos com forte trovão, tremor de terra e estrondos, tempestade, furacão e chamas de fogo devorador.	6 And this will happen suddenly and swiftly. It will be visited from the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquakes, and with the great noise of a whirlwind and a storm, and with a flame of devouring fire.
7 Como se dissipa um sonho, uma visão noturna, assim se desvanecerá a multidão das nações que atacam Ariel, os acampamentos e as trincheiras daqueles que a sitiam.	7 And the multitude of all the nations that have struggled against Ariel will be like the dream of a vision by night, along with all who have battled, and besieged, and prevailed against it.
8 Isso acontecerá tal como acontece com o esfomeado que sonha estar comendo e desperta com o estômago vazio, tal como o sequioso que sonha estar bebendo e acorda fatigado pela sede; assim será feito da multidão das nações que atacam a montanha de Sião.	8 And it will be like one who is hungry and dreams of eating, but, when he has been awakened, his soul is empty. And it will be like one who is thirsty and dreams of drinking, but, after he has been awakened, he still languishes in thirst, and his soul is empty. So shall the multitude of all the nations be, who have struggled against Mount Zion.
9 Pasmai-vos e maravilhai-vos, obstinai-vos, feridos de cegueira, embriagai-vos, mas não de vinho, cambaleai, mas não por causa da bebida.	9 Be stupefied and in wonder! Shake and quiver! Be inebriated, but not from wine! Stagger, but not from drunkenness!
10 Porque o Senhor espalhou sobre vós um espírito de torpor, fechou vossos olhos e cobriu vossas cabeças.	10 For the Lord has mixed for you a spirit of deep sleep. He will close your eyes. He will cover your prophets and leaders, who see visions.
11 A revelação de todos esses acontecimentos permanece para vós como o texto de um livro selado. Quando o oferecem a um letrado, pedindo-lhe que o leia, ele responde: Não posso, o livro está selado;	11 And the vision of all will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they have given it to someone who knows how to read, they will say, “Read this,” but he will respond, “I cannot; for it has been sealed.”
12 se o oferecem a um iletrado, pedindo-lhe que o leia, ele responde: Não sei ler.	12 But if the book is given to someone who does not know how to read, and it is said to him, “Read,” then he will respond, “I do not know how to read.”
13 O Senhor disse: Esse povo vem a mim apenas com palavras e me honra só com os lábios, enquanto seu coração está longe de mim e o temor que ele me testemunha é convencional e rotineiro,	13 And the Lord said: Since this people have drawn near to me only with their mouth, and their lips glorify me while their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is based on the commandments and doctrines of men,
14 por isso continuarei a tratar esse povo de modo tão estranho que a sabedoria dos espertalhões se perderá e a inteligência dos astutos desaparecerá.	14 for this reason, behold, I will proceed to accomplish a wonder for this people, a great and mystifying miracle. For wisdom will perish from their wise, and the understanding of their prudent will be concealed.
15 Ai daqueles que querem esconder do Senhor seus desígnios, que fazem intrigas nas trevas e dizem: Quem nos vê e quem nos conhece?	15 Woe to you who use the depths of the heart, so that you may hide your intentions from the Lord. Their works are done in darkness, and so they say: “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16 Que perversidade a vossa! Pode-se tratar como barro o oleiro? Pode a obra dizer do artífice: Ele nada me fez? Pode o pote dizer do oleiro: Ele nada entende disso?	16 This intention of yours is perverse. It is as if the clay were to plan against the potter, or as if the work were to say to its maker: “You did not make me.” Or it is as if what has been formed were to say to the one who formed it, “You do not understand.”
17 Acaso, dentro de mui pouco tempo, não será o Líbano convertido em vergel, e o vergel não passará por floresta?	17 In not more than a little while and a brief time, Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
18 Naquele tempo os surdos ouvirão as palavras de um livro; e, livres da obscuridade e das trevas, os olhos dos cegos verão.	18 And in that day, the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind will see.
19 Os humildes encontrarão cada vez mais ventura no Senhor e os homens mais pobres, graças ao Santo de Israel, estarão jubilosos.	19 And the meek will increase their rejoicing in the Lord, and the poor among men will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Pois não haverá mais tiranos, já terá desaparecido o cético, e todos os que planejavam o mal serão exterminados;	20 For the one who was prevailing has failed, the one who was mocking has been consumed, and all those who were standing guard over iniquity have been cut down.
21 os que, por uma palavra, acusam os outros; os que, à porta, procuram enganar o juiz e por um nada fazem o inocente perder sua causa.	21 For they caused men to sin by a word, and they supplanted him who argued against them at the gates, and they turned away from justice in vain.
22 Por isso eis o que disse o Senhor, o Deus da casa de Jacó, que resgatou Abraão: Daqui em diante Jacó não será mais confundido, e seu rosto não mais empalidecerá,	22 Because of this, thus says the Lord, he who has redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob: From now on, Jacob will not be confounded; from now on his countenance will not blush with shame.
23 porque, quando virem nele minha obra, bendirão o meu nome. Glorificarão o Santo de Jacó e temerão o Deus de Israel.	23 Instead, when he sees his children, they will be the work of my hands in his midst, sanctifying my name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will preach the God of Israel.
24 Os espíritos desencaminhados aprenderão sabedoria, e os que murmuravam receberão instrução.	24 And those who had gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those who had murmured will learn the law.
