Ezequiel 34
|
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, | Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: |
Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers to give the food to the sheep? | Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! Não devem os pastores apascentar as ovelhas? |
You take the milk and are clothed with the wool, you put the fat beasts to death, but you give the sheep no food. | Comeis a gordura, e vos vestis da lã; matais o cevado; mas não apascentais as ovelhas. |
You have not made the diseased ones strong or made well that which was ill; you have not put bands on the broken or got back that which had been sent away or made search for the wandering ones; and the strong you have been ruling cruelly. | A fraca não fortalecestes, a doente não curastes, a quebrada não ligastes, a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes; mas dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza. |
And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field. | Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor; e tornaram-se pasto a todas as feras do campo, porquanto se espalharam. |
And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them. | As minhas ovelhas andaram desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo alto outeiro; sim, as minhas ovelhas andaram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem as procurasse, ou as buscasse. |
For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord: | Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor: |
By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food; | Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Deus, que porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues à rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a todas as feras do campo, por falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não procuraram as minhas ovelhas, pois se apascentaram a si mesmos, e não apascentaram as minhas ovelhas; |
For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord; | portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor: |
This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them. | Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores; das suas mãos requererei as minhas ovelhas, e farei que eles deixem de apascentar as ovelhas, de sorte que não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos. Livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua boca, para que não lhes sirvam mais de pasto. |
For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep. | Porque assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, procurarei as minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei. |
As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night. | Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas. Livrá-las-ei de todos os lugares por onde foram espalhadas, no dia de nuvens e de escuridão. |
And I will take them out from among the peoples, and get them together from the countries, and will take them into their land; and I will give them food on the mountains of Israel by the water-streams and wherever men are living in the country. | Sim, tirá-las-ei para fora dos povos, e as congregarei dos países, e as introduzirei na sua terra, e as apascentarei sobre os montes de Israel, junto às correntes d`água, e em todos os lugares habitados da terra. |
I will give them good grass-land for their food, and their safe place will be the mountains of the high place of Israel: there they will take their rest in a good place, and on fat grass-land they will take their food on the mountains of Israel. | Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será o seu curral; deitar-se-ão ali num bom curral, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel. |
I myself will give food to my flock, and I will give them rest, says the Lord. | Eu mesmo apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Deus. |
I will go in search of that which had gone wandering from the way, and will get back that which had been sent in flight, and will put bands on that which was broken, and give strength to that which was ill: but the fat and the strong I will give up to destruction; I will give them for their food the punishment which is theirs by right. | A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer; a quebrada ligarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; e a gorda e a forte vigiarei. Apascentá-las-ei com justiça. |
And as for you, O my flock, says the Lord, truly, I will be judge between sheep and sheep, the he-sheep and the he-goats. | Quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu julgarei entre ovelhas e ovelhas, entre carneiros e bodes. |
Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet? | Acaso não vos basta fartar-vos do bom pasto, senão que pisais o resto de vossos pastos aos vossos pés? e beber as águas limpas, senão que sujais o resto com os vossos pés? |
And as for my sheep, their food is the grass which has been stamped on by your feet, and their drink the water which has been made dirty by your feet. | E as minhas ovelhas hão de comer o que haveis pisado, e beber o que haveis sujado com os vossos pés. |
For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep. | Por isso o Senhor Deus assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, julgarei entre a ovelha gorda e a ovelha magra. |
Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction; | Porquanto com o lado e com o ombro dais empurrões, e com as vossas pontas escorneais todas as fracas, até que as espalhais para fora, |
I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep. | portanto salvarei as minhas ovelhas, e não servirão mais de presa; e julgarei entre ovelhas e ovelhas. |
And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper. | E suscitarei sobre elas um só pastor para as apascentar, o meu servo Davi. Ele as apascentará, e lhes servirá de pastor. |
And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it. | E eu, o Senhor, serei o seu Deus, e o meu servo Davi será príncipe no meio delas; eu, o Senhor, o disse. |
And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods. | Farei com elas um pacto de paz; e removerei da terra os animais ruins, de sorte que elas habitarão em segurança no deserto, e dormirão nos bosques. |
And I will give the rain at the right time, and I will make the shower come down at the right time; there will be showers of blessing. | E delas e dos lugares ao redor do meu outeiro farei uma bênção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo; chuvas de bênçãos serão. |
And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those who made them servants. | E as árvores do campo darão o seu fruto, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguras na sua terra; saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar os canzis do seu jugo e as livrar da mão dos que se serviam delas. |
And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them. | Pois não servirão mais de presa aos gentios, nem as devorarão mais os animais da terra; mas habitarão seguramente, e ninguém haverá que as espante. |
And I will give them planting-places of peace, and they will no longer be wasted from need of food or put to shame by the nations. | Também lhes levantarei uma plantação de renome, e nunca mais serão consumidas pela fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opróbrio das nações. |
And they will be certain that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the children of Israel, are my people, says the Lord. | Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com elas, e que elas são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor Deus. |
And you are my sheep, the sheep of my grass-lands, and I am your God, says the Lord. | Vós, ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto, sois homens, e eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Deus. |
