< Ezekiel 9 >
1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye those who have charge over the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Então me gritou aos ouvidos com grande voz, dizendo: Fazei chegar os intendentes da cidade, cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand, and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's case by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
E eis que vinham seis homens caminho da porta alta, que olha para o norte, e cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão, e entre elles um homem vestido de linho, com um tinteiro de escrivão á sua cinta; e entraram, e se pozeram junto ao altar de bronze.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which it was, to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's case by his side.
E a gloria do Deus d'Israel se levantou de sobre o cherubim sobre o qual estava, até ao umbral da casa; e clamou ao homem vestido de linho, que tinha o tinteiro de escrivão á sua cinta.
4 And Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Passa pelo meio da cidade, pelo meio de Jerusalem, e marca com um signal as testas dos homens que suspiram e que gemem por causa de todas as abominações que se commettem no meio d'ella.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite. Let not your eye spare, nor have ye pity.
E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: Passae pela cidade após elle, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçaes.
6 Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
Matae velhos, mancebos, e virgens, e meninos, e mulheres, até exterminal-os; porém a todo o homem que tiver o signal não vos chegueis; e começae pelo meu sanctuario. E começaram pelos homens mais velhos que estavam diante da casa
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
E disse-lhes: Contaminae a casa e enchei os atrios de mortos: sahi. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
8 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah lord Jehovah! Will thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
Succedeu pois que, havendo-os ferido, e ficando eu de resto, cahi sobre a minha face, e clamei, e disse: Ah! Senhor Jehovah! dar-se-ha caso que destruas todo o restante de Israel, derramando a tua indignação sobre Jerusalem?
9 Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land, and Jehovah does not see.
Então me disse: A maldade da casa de Israel e de Judah é grandissima, e a terra se encheu de sangue e a cidade se encheu de perversidade; porque dizem: O Senhor deixou a terra, e o Senhor não vê
10 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
Pois tambem, emquanto a mim, não poupará o meu olho, nem me compadecerei: sobre a cabeça d'elles farei recair o seu caminho.
11 And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou have commanded me.
E eis que o homem que estava vestido de linho, a cuja cinta estava o tinteiro, tornou com a resposta, dizendo: Fiz como me mandaste.
