< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
2 “Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,
Filho do homem, houve duas mulheres, filhas de uma [mesma] mãe,
3 and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.
Estas se prostituíram no Egito; em suas juventudes se prostituíram. Ali foram apertados os seus peitos, e ali foram apalpados os seios de sua virgindade.
4 Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
E seus nomes eram: Oolá, a maior, e Oolibá sua irmã; e elas foram minhas, e tiveram filhos e filhas. Estes eram seus nomes: Samaria é Oolá, e Jerusalém Oolibá.
5 And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,
E Oolá prostituiu-se, mesmo sendo minha; e apaixonou-se por seus amantes, os assírios seus vizinhos,
6 who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.
Vestidos de azul, governadores e príncipes, todos rapazes cobiçáveis, cavaleiros que andavam a cavalo.
7 And she distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.
Assim ela cometeu suas prostituições com eles, os quais eram os mais apreciados dos filhos da Assíria, e com todos aqueles por quem ela se apaixonou; contaminou-se com todos os ídolos deles.
8 Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.
E não deixou suas fornicações [que trouxe] do Egito; pois com ela se deitaram em sua juventude, e eles apalparam os seios de sua virgindade, e derramaram sua prostituição sobre ela.
9 Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.
Por isso a entreguei na mão de seus amantes, na mão dos filhos da Assíria, por quem tinha se apaixonado.
10 They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.
Eles descobriram sua nudez, tomaram seus filhos e suas filhas, e a mataram à espada; e veio a ser famosa entre as mulheres, pois fizeram julgamentos contra ela.
11 And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication of her sister.
Sua irmã Oolibá viu isso, porém corrompeu sua paixão mais que ela; e suas prostituições foram mais numerosas que as prostituições de sua irmã.
12 She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.
Apaixonou-se pelos filhos da Assíria, pelos governadores e príncipes, seus vizinhos, vestidos com luxo, cavaleiros que andavam a cavalo, todos eles rapazes cobiçáveis.
13 And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.
E vi que ela estava contaminada; ambas tinham um [mesmo] caminho.
14 And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,
E ela aumentou suas prostituições; pois viu homens pintados na parede, as imagens de caldeus pintadas de vermelho,
15 with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,
Vestidos com cintos ao redor de seus lombos, e enormes turbantes em suas cabeças, tendo todos eles aparência de capitães, à semelhança dos filhos da Babilônia, nascidos na terra da Caldeia.
16 she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
E apaixonou-se deles logo que seus olhos os viram, e enviou-lhes mensageiros à Caldeia.
17 And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.
Então os filhos da Babilônia vieram até ela à cama dos amores, e a contaminaram com suas prostituições; e ela também se contaminou com eles; então sua alma desgostou deles.
18 Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.
Assim ela expôs suas prostituições, e expôs sua nudez; então minha alma desgostou dela, assim como já tinha desgostado de sua irmã.
19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.
Porém ela multiplicou suas prostituições, relembrando-se dos dias de sua juventude, nos quais havia se prostituído na terra do Egito.
20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow of horses.
E apaixonou-se por seus amantes, cuja carne é como carne de asnos, e cujo fluxo é como fluxo de cavalos.
21 And you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.
Assim relembraste a obscenidade de tua juventude, quando os egípcios apalpavam teus peitos, por causa dos seios de tua juventude.
22 Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:
Portanto, Oolibá, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu levantarei contra ti os teus amantes, dos quais tua alma desgostou, e eu os trarei contra ti ao redor:
23 the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.
Os filhos da Babilônia, e todos os caldeus, Pecode, Soa, e Coa, todos os filhos da Assíria com eles; rapazes cobiçáveis, governadores e príncipes todos eles, capitães e líderes, todos os que andam a cavalo.
24 And they will overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.
E virão sobre ti [com] armamentos, carruagens, carretas, e com ajuntamento de povos. Escudos grandes e pequenos, e capacetes serão postos contra ti ao redor; e eu os designarei para que façam o julgamento, e eles te julgarão conforme seus julgamentos.
25 And against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.
E porei meu zelo contra ti, e te tratarão com furor; tirarão teu nariz e tuas orelhas, e o que restar de ti cairá a espada. Eles tomarão teus filhos e tuas filhas, e o que restar de ti será consumido pelo fogo.
26 And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.
Também te despirão de tuas vestes, e tomarão as tuas belas joias.
27 And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember Egypt.
Assim farei cessar de ti tua obscenidade e tua prostituição da terra do Egito; e não levantarás mais teus olhos a eles, nem te lembrarás mais do Egito.
28 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.
Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu te entregarei nas mãos daqueles a quem tu odeias, nas mãos daqueles dos quais tua alma se desgostou;
29 And they will act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.
Eles te tratarão com ódio, e tomarão todo [o ganho] de teu trabalho, e te deixarão nua e despida; e será exposta a nudez de tuas prostituições, tua obscenidade, e tuas promiscuidades.
30 They have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.
Estas coisas serão feitas contigo porque te prostituíste atrás das nações, com as quais te contaminaste com seus ídolos.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.
Tu andaste no caminho de tua irmã; por isso darei o cálice dela em tua mão.
32 Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.
Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Tu beberás cálice fundo e largo de tua irmã; tu serás motivo de riso e escárnio, pois ele cabe muito.
33 You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.
De embriaguez e de dor tu serás cheia; o cálice de tua irmã Samaria é cálice de medo e de desolação.
34 And you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.
Tu, pois, o beberás, o esvaziarás, e quebrarás seus cacos; e arrancarás teus peitos; porque eu falei, diz o Senhor DEUS.
35 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”
Portanto assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que te esqueceste de mim, e me lançaste por trás de tuas costas, por isso, leva tu também [as consequências de] tua obscenidade e [de] tuas prostituições.
36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?
E disse-me o SENHOR: Filho do homem, julgarás tu a Oolá, e a Oolibá, e lhes denunciarás suas abominações?
37 For they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.
Pois elas cometeram adultério, e há sangue em suas mãos, e com seus ídolos cometeram adultério; e até a seus filhos que me haviam gerado fizeram passar pelo fogo, para [os] consumir.
38 But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.
Ainda isto me fizeram: contaminaram meu santuário naquele mesmo dia, e profanaram meus sábados;
39 And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of my house.
Pois havendo sacrificado seus filhos a seus ídolos, vieram ao meu santuário no mesmo dia para profaná-lo; e eis que assim fizeram em meio da minha casa.
40 They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine ornaments.
E além disto, mandaram avisar a homens que viriam de longe, aos quais havia sido enviado mensageiro. E eis que vieram; e por causa deles te lavaste, pintaste os teus olhos, e te enfeitaste de joias;
41 You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.
E te sentaste sobre uma cama luxuosa; diante da qual foi preparada uma mesa, e puseste sobre ela meu perfume e meu óleo.
42 And the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
E [ouviu-se] nela voz de multidão alegre; e junto dos homens ordinários, foram trazidos os beberrões do deserto; e puseram braceletes em suas mãos, e belas coroas sobre suas cabeças.
43 And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’
Então eu disse à envelhecida [em] adultérios: Agora eles se prostituirão com ela, assim como ela [faz].
44 And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.
E se deitaram com ela como quem se deita com mulher prostituta; assim se deitaram com Oolá e com Oolibá, mulheres indecentes.
45 But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
Por isso homens justos as julgarão pela lei que pune as adúlteras, e pela lei que pune as que derramam sangue; pois são adúlteras, e há sangue há nas mãos delas.
46 For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.
Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Farei subir uma multidão contra elas, e as entregarei a terror e ao saque;
47 And may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses with fire.
E a multidão as apedrejará com pedras, e as cortarão com suas espadas; matarão seus filhos e suas filhas, e queimarão com fogo suas casas.
48 And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.
Assim acabarei com a obscenidade da terra, para que todas as mulheres aprendam a não fazer conforme vossa obscenidade.
49 And they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
E porão sobre vós [a culpa por] vossa obscenidade, e levareis os pecados de vossos ídolos; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor DEUS.
