< Ezekiel 9 >

1 He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his 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 higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside 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 God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by 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 And the LORD said to him, Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the middle 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 you after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have you pity:
E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: Passae pela cidade após elle, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçaes.
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man on whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which 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, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go you forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
E disse-lhes: Contaminae a casa e enchei os atrios de mortos: sahi. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your fury 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 said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD has forsaken the earth, and the LORD sees 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 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way on 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 clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have 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.
