Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! porventura os pastores não apascentarão as ovelhas?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool. Ye kill the fatlings, but ye do not feed the sheep.
Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolais o cevado; porém não apascentais as ovelhas.
4 Ye have not strengthened the diseased, nor have ye healed that which was sick, nor have ye bound up that which was broken, nor have ye brought back that which was driven away, nor have ye sought that which was lost, but ye have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
As fracas não fortalecestes, e a doente não curastes, e a quebrada não ligastes, e a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes: porém dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor, e ficaram para pasto de toda a besta do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill. Yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none who searched or sought.
As minhas ovelhas andam desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo o alto outeiro; e as minhas ovelhas andam espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem pergunte por elas, sem haver quem as busque.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
8 As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely inasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,
Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que, porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues à rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a toda a besta do campo, à falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não perguntam pelas minhas ovelhas, e os pastores se apascentam a si mesmos, e não apascentam as minhas ovelhas;
9 therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
10 Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more, and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores, e demandarei as minhas ovelhas da sua mão, e os farei cessar de apascentar as ovelhas, e os pastores não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos; e livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua boca, e lhes não servirão mais de pasto.
11 For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas; e as farei escapar de todos os lugares por onde andam espalhadas, no dia da nuvem e da escuridão.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
E as tirarei dos povos, e as congregarei das terras, e as trarei à sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto às correntes, e em todas as habitações da terra.
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será a sua malhada; ali se deitarão numa boa malhada, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel.
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah.
Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.
A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer, e a quebrada atarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei; apascenta-las-ei com juízo.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats.
E quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu julgarei entre gado pequeno e gado pequeno, entre carneiros e bodes.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Acaso não vos basta que pastéis o bom pasto, senão que pizeis o resto de vossos pastos a vossos pés? e que bebais as profundas águas, senão que enlameeis o resto com os vossos pés
19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
E as minhas ovelhas pastarão o que foi pizado com os vossos pés, e beberão o que tem sido turvado com os vossos pés.
20 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Por isso o Senhor Jehovah assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, sim, eu, julgarei entre o gado gordo e o gado magro.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
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,
22 therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
Portanto livrarei as minhas ovelhas, para que não sirvam mais de rapina, e julgarei entre gado miúdo e gado miúdo.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
E levantarei sobre elas um só pastor, e ele as apascentará: meu servo David, este as apascentará, e este lhes servirá de pastor.
24 And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
E eu, o Senhor, lhes serei por Deus, e o meu servo David será príncipe no meio deles: eu, o Senhor, o falei.
25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
E farei com eles um concerto de paz, e farei cessar a besta ruim da terra, e habitarão no deserto seguramente, e dormirão nos bosques.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
E a eles, e aos lugares ao redor do meu outeiro, os porei por benção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo: chuvas de benção serão.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.
E as árvores do campo darão o seu fruto, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguros na sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar as varas do seu jugo e os livrar da mão dos que se serviam deles.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
E não servirão mais de rapina aos gentios, e a besta fera da terra nunca mais os comerá: e habitarão seguramente, e ninguém haverá que os espante.
29 And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.
E lhes levantarei uma planta de nome, e nunca mais serão arrebatados da fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opróbrio dos gentios.
30 And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah.
Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com eles, e que eles são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
31 And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the lord Jehovah.
Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
