Isaías 3— comparação

1Pois, eis que, o Senhor, DEUS dos Exércitos, tira de Jerusalém e de Judá o suprimento e o apoio,

2o homem valente,

3o capitão de cinquenta,

4Darei meninos para serem seus príncipes,

5O povo será oprimido,

6De fato, um homem agarrará seu irmão na casa de seu pai, dizendo:

7Naquele dia ele clamará, dizendo: “Eu não serei um curador;

8Pois Jerusalém está arruinada, e Judá está caída;

9A expressão de seus rostos testemunha contra eles.

10Digam aos justos que tudo irá bem com eles,

11Ai dos ímpios!

12Quanto ao meu povo, crianças são os seus opressores,

13O SENHOR se levanta para pleitear,

14O SENHOR entrará em juízo contra os anciãos do seu povo

15Com que direito vocês esmagam o meu povo,

16Além disso, o SENHOR disse: “Porque as filhas de Sião são arrogantes,

17portanto, o Senhor trará feridas sobre o alto da cabeça das mulheres de Sião,

18Naquele dia, o Senhor tirará a beleza dos seus enfeites de tornozelo, das tiaras, dos colares em forma de lua crescente,

19dos brincos, dos braceletes, dos véus,

20dos enfeites de cabeça, das correntes de tornozelo, das faixas, dos frascos de perfume, dos amuletos,

21dos anéis de selo, das argolas de nariz,

22dos vestidos finos, das capas, dos mantos, das bolsas,

23dos espelhos de mão, das roupas de linho fino, dos turbantes e dos xales.

24Acontecerá que, em vez de especiarias aromáticas, haverá podridão;

25Seus homens cairão à espada,

26Suas portas lamentarão e prantearão.

1For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

2the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,

3the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

4I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.

5The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.

6Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”

7In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”

8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

10Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.

12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

13Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

14Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

16Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

17therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”

18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,

19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,

21the signet rings, the nose rings,

22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,

23the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.

24It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

25Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

26Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
