Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize-lhes, aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai dos pastores de Israel, que se apascentam a si mesmos! Por acaso não devem os pastores apascentarem as ovelhas?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep.
Comeis a gordura, e vos vestis da lã; degolais o cevado, [porém] não apascentais as ovelhas.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Não fortaleceis as fracas, nem curais a doente; não pondes curativo na que está ferida; não trazeis de volta a desgarrada, e a perdida não buscais; porém dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.
5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Assim se espalharam, porque não há pastor; e se tornaram alimento para toda fera do campo, porque se espalharam.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek [after them].
Minhas ovelhas andaram sem rumo por todos os montes, e em todo morro alto; minhas ovelhas foram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, e ninguém há que as procure, ninguém que as busque.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep;
Vivo eu, diz o Senhor DEUS, que dado que minhas ovelhas foram [entregues] ao saque, e minhas ovelhas serviram de alimento para toda fera do campo, por não haver pastor; e meus pastores não procuram minhas ovelhas, ao invés disso apascentaram a si mesmos, e não apascentam minhas ovelhas,
9 therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu sou contra os pastores; exigirei deles minhas ovelhas, e farei com que cessem de apascentar as ovelhas; e os pastores não apascentarão mais a si mesmos; pois eu livrarei minhas ovelhas da boca deles, e elas não [mais] lhes servirão de alimento.
11 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, procurarei minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Assim como o pastor busca seu rebanho no dia em que está em meio de suas ovelhas espalhadas, assim buscarei minhas ovelhas, e as livrarei de todos os lugares por onde foram espalhadas, no dia de nuvem e de escuridão.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
E eu as tirarei dos povos, e as ajuntarei das terras; eu as trarei para sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto às correntes de águas, e em todas as habitações daquela terra.
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Em bons pastos eu as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será sua pastagem; ali se deitarão em boa pastagem, e em prósperos pastos serão apascentadas sobre os montes de Israel.
15 I myself will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Eu apascentarei minhas ovelhas, e eu farei elas se deitarem [em segurança], diz o Senhor DEUS.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: and the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in judgment.
Eu buscarei a perdida, e trarei de volta a desgarrada; porei curativo na que estiver ferida, e fortalecerei a enferma; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei. Eu as apascentarei com julgamento.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, as well the rams as the he-goats.
E quanto a vós, ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha, entre carneiros e bodes.
18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Por acaso não vos basta que comais o bom pasto, para terdes que pisotear com vossos pés o resto de vossos pastos? E não vos basta as águas limpas, para sujardes o resto [das águas] com vossos pés?
19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Minhas ovelhas terão de comer o que foi pisoteado por vossos pés, e beber o que foi sujo por vossos pés.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them: Behold, I, even I, judge between the fat cattle and the lean cattle.
Por isso assim lhes diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, julgarei entre a ovelha gorda e a ovelha magra,
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Porque empurrais com o lado e com o ombro, e com vossos chifres chifrais todas as fracas, até que as espalhais para fora.
22 therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Portanto eu salvarei minhas ovelhas, para que nunca mais sirvam de saque; e julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
E levantarei sobre elas um pastor, e ele as apascentará: a meu servo Davi; ele as apascentará, e ele será o pastor delas.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
Eu, o SENHOR serei o Deus delas, e meu servo Davi será príncipe no meio delas. Eu, o SENHOR, falei.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
E farei com elas um pacto de paz, e farei cessar os maus animais da terra; e habitarão no deserto em segurança, e dormirão nos bosques.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
E farei com que elas e os lugares ao redor de meu monte sejam bênção; e farei descer a chuva em seu tempo; chuvas de bênção serão.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
E as árvores do campo darão seu fruto, e a terra dará seu produto, e estarão em segurança sobre sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando quebrar as varas de seu jugo, e as livrar da mão dos que se servem delas.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
E não [mais] servirão de presa às nações, nem as feras da terra as devorarão; pois habitarão em segurança, e não haverá quem [as] espante;
29 And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
E lhes despertarei uma plantação de renome, e não mais serão consumidos de fome na terra, nem serão mais envergonhadas pelas nações.
30 And they shall know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Assim saberão que eu, o SENHOR, seu Deus, estou com elas, e elas são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor DEUS.
31 And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.
E vós, ovelhas minhas, sois ovelhas humanas do meu pasto; eu sou vosso Deus, diz o Senhor DEUS.
