Ezekiel 9
1 Then crying out in my hearing in a loud voice, he said, Let the overseers of the town come near, every man armed.
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 six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass 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 had gone up from the winged ones on which it was resting, to the doorstep of the house. And crying out to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's inkpot at 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 The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in 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 these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:
E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: Passae pela cidade após elle, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçaes.
6 Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with 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, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town.
E disse-lhes: Contaminae a casa e enchei os atrios de mortos: sahi. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
8 Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on 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 sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord 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, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.
Pois tambem, emquanto a mim, não poupará o meu olho, nem me compadecerei: sobre a cabeça d'elles farei recair o seu caminho.
11 Then the man clothed in linen, who had the inkpot at his side, came back and said, I have done what you gave me orders to do.
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.
