1 Naquele dia, o Senhor com sua espada severa, longa e forte, castigará o Leviatã, serpente veloz, o Leviatã, serpente tortuosa; matará no mar a serpente aquática.
2 Naquele dia, cantem sobre a vinha frutífera:
3 "Eu, o Senhor, sou o seu vigia, rego-a constantemente e a protejo dia e noite para impedir que lhe façam dano.
4 Não estou irado. Se espinheiros e roseiras bravas me enfrentassem, eu marcharia contra eles em combate e poria fogo neles todos.
5 Se não, que venham buscar refúgio em mim; que façam as pazes comigo. Sim, que façam as pazes comigo".
6 Nos dias vindouros Jacó lançará raízes, Israel terá botões e flores e encherá o mundo de frutos.
7 Acaso o Senhor o feriu como feriu aqueles que o feriram? Acaso ele foi morto como foram mortos os que o feriram?
8 Pelo desterro e pelo exílio o julga, com seu sopro violento ele o expulsa, como num dia de rajadas do vento oriental.
9 Assim será perdoada a maldade de Jacó, e será este o fruto da remoção do seu pecado: Quando ele fizer com que as pedras do altar sejam esmigalhadas e fiquem como pó de giz, os postes sagrados e os altares de incenso não ficarão de pé.
10 A cidade fortificada está abandonada, desabitada e esquecida como o deserto; ali os bezerros pastam e se deitam, e desfolham os seus ramos.
11 Quando os seus ramos estão secos e quebram-se, as mulheres fazem fogo com eles, pois esse é um povo sem entendimento. Por isso aquele que o fez não tem compaixão dele, aquele que o formou não lhe mostra misericórdia.
12 Naquele dia o Senhor debulhará desde as margens do Eufrates até o ribeiro do Egito, e vocês, israelitas, serão ajuntados um a um.
13 E naquele dia soará uma grande trombeta. Os que estavam perecendo na Assíria e os que estavam exilados no Egito virão e adorarão o Senhor no monte santo, em Jerusalém.
1 In that day, will Yahweh With his swordthe hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent,And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
2 In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
3 IYahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her,Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
4 Fury, have I none,Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
5 Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me,Peace, let him make with me.
6 In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud,Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
8 By driving her awayby dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of east wind.
9 Therefore hereby, shall a propitiatorycovering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin,When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
10 For the fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness,There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall consume the branches thereof:
11 When the cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
12 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River, unto the torrent-valley of Egypt,And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons of Israel. \fs15
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt,And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
