Ezekiel 9
1 And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a 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 looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by 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 Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
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 the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
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 after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: Passae pela cidade após elle, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçaes.
6 Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere 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 ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city.
E disse-lhes: Contaminae a casa e enchei os atrios de mortos: sahi. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
8 And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury 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 And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
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 Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite 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 that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast 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.
