Ezekiel 14
1 Then certain of the responsible men of Israel came to me and took their seats before me.
E vieram a mim alguns homens dos anciãos de Israel, e se assentaram diante de mim.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Então veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
3 Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?
Filho do homem, estes homens levantaram os seus idolos sobre os seus corações, e o tropeço da sua maldade pozeram diante da sua face; porventura pois devéras me perguntam?
4 For this cause say to them, These are the words of the Lord: Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart, and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, and comes to the prophet; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods;
Portanto falla com elles, e dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Qualquer homem da casa de Israel, que levantar os seus idolos sobre o seu coração, e o tropeço da sua maldade pozer diante da sua face, e vier ao propheta, eu, o Senhor, vindo elle, lhe responderei conforme a multidão dos seus idolos;
5 So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.
Para apanhar a casa de Israel no seu coração, porquanto todos se apartaram de mim para seguirem os seus idolos.
6 For this cause say to the children of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things.
Portanto dize á casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Convertei-vos, e deixae-vos converter dos vossos idolos; e desviae os vossos rostos de todas as vossas abominações.
7 When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:
Porque qualquer homem da casa de Israel, e dos estrangeiros que peregrinam em Israel, que se alienar de mim, e levantar os seus idolos sobre o seu coração, e pozer o tropeço da sua maldade diante do seu rosto, e vier ao propheta, para me consultar por meio d'elle, eu, o Senhor, lhe responderei por mim mesmo.
8 And my face will be turned against that man, and I will make him a sign and a common saying, cutting him off from among my people; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
E porei o meu rosto contra o tal homem, e o assolarei para que sirva de signal e de dictado, e arrancal-o-hei do meio do meu povo: e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
9 And if the prophet, tricked by deceit, says anything, it is I the Lord by whom he has been tricked, and I will put out my hand against him, and he will be cut off from among my people Israel.
E quando o propheta se deixar persuadir, e fallar alguma coisa, eu, o Senhor, persuadi esse propheta; e estenderei a minha mão contra elle, e destruil-o-hei do meio do meu povo Israel,
10 And the punishment of their sin will be on them: the sin of the prophet will be the same as the sin of him who goes to him for directions;
E levarão a sua maldade: como fôr a maldade do que pergunta, assim será a maldade do propheta;
11 So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
Para que a casa de Israel não se desvie mais d'após mim, nem se contamine mais com todas as suas transgressões: então elles me serão por povo, e eu lhes serei por Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Veiu ainda a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
13 Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:
Filho do homem, quando uma terra peccar contra mim, gravemente rebellando, então estenderei a minha mão contra ella, e lhe quebrarei o sustento do pão, e enviarei contra ella fome, e arrancarei d'ella homens e animaes:
14 Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, only themselves would they keep safe by their righteousness, says the Lord.
Ainda que estivessem no meio d'ella estes tres homens, Noé, Daniel e Job, elles pela sua justiça livrariam sómente a sua alma, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
15 Or if I send evil beasts through the land causing destruction and making it waste, so that no man may go through because of the beasts:
Se eu fizer passar pela terra as más bestas, e ellas a despojarem de filhos, que ella seja assolada, e ninguem possa passar por ella por causa das bestas;
16 Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.
E estes tres homens estivessem no meio d'ella, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem a filhos nem a filhas livrariam; elles só ficariam livres, e a terra seria assolada.
17 Or if I send a sword against that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, cutting off from it man and beast:
Ou, se eu trouxer a espada sobre a tal terra, e disser: Espada, passa pela terra: e eu arrancar d'ella homens e bestas:
18 Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.
Ainda que aquelles tres homens estivessem n'ella, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem filhos nem filhas livrariam, senão elles só ficariam livres.
19 Or if I send disease into that land, letting loose my wrath on it in blood, cutting off from it man and beast:
Ou, se eu enviar a peste sobre a tal terra, e derramar o meu furor sobre ella com sangue, para arrancar d'ella homens e bestas:
20 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep son or daughter safe; only themselves would they keep safe through their righteousness.
Ainda que Noé, Daniel e Job estivessem no meio d'ella, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem um filho nem uma filha livrariam a sua alma, mas só elles livrarão as suas proprias almas pela sua justiça.
21 For this is what the Lord has said: How much more when I send my four bitter punishments on Jerusalem, the sword and need of food and evil beasts and disease, cutting off from it man and beast?
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Quanto mais, se eu enviar os meus quatro maus juizos, a espada, e a fome, e as más bestas, e a peste, contra Jerusalem, para arrancar d'ella homens e bestas?
22 But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.
Porém eis que alguns dos que escaparem ficarão de resto n'ella, que serão tirados para fóra, assim filhos como filhas; eis que elles sairão a vós, e vereis o seu caminho e os seus feitos; e ficareis consolados do mal que eu trouxe sobre Jerusalem, e de tudo o que trouxe sobre ella.
23 They will give you comfort when you see their ways and their doings: and you will be certain that not for nothing have I done all the things I have done in it, says the Lord.
E vos consolarão, quando virdes o seu caminho e os seus feitos; e sabereis que não fiz sem razão tudo quanto fiz n'ella, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
