Ezekiel 14
1 And men among the elders of Israel came to me, and they sat down 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 veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
3 “Son of man, these men have placed their uncleanness in their hearts, and they have stationed the scandal of their iniquities before their face. So why should I respond when they inquire of me?
Filho do homem, estes homens levantaram os seus ídolos sobre os seus corações, e o tropeço da sua maldade puseram diante da sua face; porventura pois deveras me perguntam?
4 Because of this, speak to them, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: The man, the man of the house of Israel, who places his uncleanness in his heart, and who stations the scandal of his iniquities before his face, and who approaches a prophet, so as to inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him in accord with the multitude of his uncleannesses,
Portanto fala com eles, e dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Qualquer homem da casa de Israel, que levantar os seus ídolos sobre o seu coração, e o tropeço da sua maldade puser diante da sua face, e vier ao profeta, eu, o Senhor, vindo ele, lhe responderei conforme a multidão dos seus ídolos;
5 so that the house of Israel may be seized within their own heart, by which they have withdrawn from me to all their idols.
Para apanhar a casa de Israel no seu coração, porquanto todos se apartaram de mim para seguirem os seus ídolos.
6 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Be converted, and withdraw from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.
Portanto dize à casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Convertei-vos, e deixai-vos converter dos vossos ídolos; e desviai os vossos rostos de todas as vossas abominações.
7 For the man, the man of the house of Israel, and the new arrival among the converts who may be in Israel, if he is alienated from me, and he sets his idols in his heart, and he stations the scandal of his iniquity before his face, and he approaches the prophet, so that he may inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him through myself.
Porque qualquer homem da casa de Israel, e dos estrangeiros que peregrinam em Israel, que se alienar de mim, e levantar os seus ídolos sobre o seu coração, e puser o tropeço da sua maldade diante do seu rosto, e vier ao profeta, para me consultar por meio dele, eu, o Senhor, lhe responderei por mim mesmo.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and I will make him an example and a proverb. And I will perish him from the midst of my people. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
E porei o meu rosto contra o tal homem, e o assolarei para que sirva de sinal e de ditado, e arranca-lo-ei do meio do meu povo: e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
9 And when a prophet has gone astray and has spoken a word: I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. And I will extend my hand over him, and I will wipe him away from the midst of my people, Israel.
E quando o profeta se deixar persuadir, e falar alguma coisa, eu, o Senhor, persuadi esse profeta; e estenderei a minha mão contra ele, e destrui-lo-ei do meio do meu povo Israel,
10 And they shall bear their iniquity. In accord with the iniquity of the one who inquires, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
E levarão a sua maldade: como for a maldade do que pergunta, assim será a maldade do profeta;
11 So may the house of Israel no longer go astray from me, nor be polluted by all their transgressions. Instead, may they be my people, and may I be their God, says the Lord of hosts.”
Para que a casa de Israel não se desvie mais de após mim, nem se contamine mais com todas as suas transgressões: então eles 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:
Veio ainda a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
13 “Son of man, when a land will have sinned against me, so that it transgresses grievously, I will extend my hand over it, and I will crush the staff of its bread. And I will send a famine upon it, and I will destroy from it both man and beast.
Filho do homem, quando uma terra pecar contra mim, gravemente rebelando, então estenderei a minha mão contra ela, e lhe quebrarei o sustento do pão, e enviarei contra ela fome, e arrancarei dela homens e animais:
14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver their own souls by their justice, says the Lord of hosts.
Ainda que estivessem no meio dela estes três homens, Noé, Daniel e Job, eles pela sua justiça livrariam somente a sua alma, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
15 And if I also lead in very harmful beasts upon the land, so that I devastate it, and it becomes impassable, so that no one may cross through it because of the beasts,
Se eu fizer passar pela terra as más bestas, e elas a despojarem de filhos, que ela seja assolada, e ninguém possa passar por ela por causa das bestas;
16 if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters. But only they themselves will be delivered, for the land shall be desolated.
E estes três homens estivessem no meio dela, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem a filhos nem a filhas livrariam; eles só ficariam livres, e a terra seria assolada.
17 Or if I lead in the sword upon that land, and if I say to the sword, ‘Pass through the land,’ and so I destroy from it both man and beast,
Ou, se eu trouxer a espada sobre a tal terra, e disser: Espada, passa pela terra: e eu arrancar dela homens e bestas:
18 and if these three men were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters, but only they themselves will be delivered.
Ainda que aqueles três homens estivessem nela, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem filhos nem filhas livrariam, senão eles só ficariam livres.
19 Then, if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and I pour out my indignation upon it with blood, so that I take away from it both man and beast,
Ou, se eu enviar a peste sobre a tal terra, e derramar o meu furor sobre ela com sangue, para arrancar dela homens e bestas:
20 and if Noah, and Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither son, nor daughter, but they will deliver only their own souls by their justice.
Ainda que Noé, Daniel e Job estivessem no meio dela, vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que nem um filho nem uma filha livrariam a sua alma, mas só eles livrarão as suas próprias almas pela sua justiça.
21 For thus says the Lord God: Even though I will send upon Jerusalem my four most grievous judgments, sword and famine and harmful beasts and pestilence, so that I destroy from it both man and beast,
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Quanto mais, se eu enviar os meus quatro maus juízos, a espada, e a fome, e as más bestas, e a peste, contra Jerusalém, para arrancar dela homens e bestas?
22 yet still there shall be left within it some who will be saved, who shall lead away their own sons and daughters. Behold, they will enter to you, and you will see their way and their accomplishments. And you shall be consoled concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, concerning all the things that I have brought to bear upon it.
Porém eis que alguns dos que escaparem ficarão de resto nela, que serão tirados para fora, assim filhos como filhas; eis que eles sairão a vós, e vereis o seu caminho e os seus feitos; e ficareis consolados do mal que eu trouxe sobre Jerusalém, e de tudo o que trouxe sobre ela.
23 And they shall console you, when you see their ways and their accomplishments. And you shall know that I have not acted to no purpose in all that I have done within it, says the Lord God.”
E vos consolarão, quando virdes o seu caminho e os seus feitos; e sabereis que não fiz sem razão tudo quanto fiz nela, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
