Ezekiel 24
1 Almost nine [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the tenth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, no nono anno, no decimo mez, aos dez do mez, dizendo:
2 “You human, write down what day of the month this is. On this [the army of] King of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem.
Filho do homem, escreve o nome d'este dia, d'este mesmo dia; porque o rei de Babylonia se achega a Jerusalem n'este mesmo dia.
3 Tell those rebellious Israeli people [MTY] [in Babylon] a parable. Say this to them: This is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Pour water into the [cooking] pot and put the pot [the fire].
E usa de uma comparação para com a casa rebelde, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Põe a panella ao lume, põe-n'a, e deita-lhe tambem agua dentro.
4 Put into the pot some pieces of [from one of your best sheep]: Put in the leg and shoulder, [which are] the best pieces. [Then] fill [the rest of] the pot with the best bones.
Ajunta n'ella os seus pedaços, todos os bons pedaços, as pernas e as espadoas; enche-a de ossos escolhidos.
5 Pile wood on the fire, and cook the bones and the meat in the boiling water.’
Pega no melhor do rebanho, e queima tambem os ossos debaixo d'ella: faze-a ferver bem, e cozam-se dentro d'ella os seus ossos.
6 [Do that] because this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Terrible things will happen [Jerusalem]; it is city that is full of murderers [MTY], [a city that is like] [MET] a scorched pot whose black residue inside cannot be removed. Take the pieces [of meat] out of the pot, but do not choose which pieces to take out.
Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai da cidade sanguinaria, da panella cuja escuma está n'ella, e cuja escuma não saiu d'ella! tira d'ella pedaços a pedaços, não caia sorte sobre ella
7 The blood of the people who were murdered in Jerusalem is still there; they were murdered on the bare rocks, not on the soil, where their blood could be covered.
Porque o seu sangue está no meio d'ella, sobre uma penha descalvada o poz: não o derramou sobre a terra, para o cobrir com pó.
8 But I am the one who caused the blood of those who were murdered [MTY] to be smeared on the bare rock, where their blood could not be covered; I did that in order [I could see it and] then be angry and get revenge.’
Para que eu faça subir a indignação, para tomar vingança, tambem eu puz o seu sangue n'uma penha descalvada, para que não se encubra.
9 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘Terrible things will happen to that city that is full of murderers [MTY]! [It will be as though] I also will pile high [the wood in the fire].
Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai da cidade sanguinaria! tambem eu farei uma grande fogueira.
10 [So], heap on the wood and light the fire! Cook the meat well, and mix some spices with it; cook it until the bones are charred.
Amontoa muita lenha, accende o fogo, consome a carne, e tempera-a com especiarias, e ardam os ossos.
11 Then set the empty pot on the [of the fire] until the pot becomes [very] hot and the copper glows, with the result that the impurities and the rust will be burned up.
Então a porás vazia sobre as suas brazas, para que ella aqueça, e se queime a sua ferrugem, e se funda a sua immundicia no meio d'ella, e se consuma a sua escuma.
12 [It is as though] I tried to get rid of that rust, but I was not able to do it, [not even] by putting that pot in a fire.
Com vaidades me cançou; e não saiu d'ella a sua muita escuma; ao fogo irá a sua escuma.
13 The [in the pot represents] your immoral behavior. I tried to cleanse you from your wicked behavior, but you did not allow me to do that. So you will not be [from the guilt of your sin] [I have punished you and] I am no longer angry.
Na immundicia ha infamia, porquanto te purifiquei, e tu não te purificaste; nunca mais serás purificada da tua immundicia, emquanto eu não fizer descançar sobre ti a minha indignação.
14 I, Yahweh, have said [that I will surely punish you]. [And it is time] for me to do that. I will not change my mind; I will not refrain from punishing you, and I will not pity you. I will judge you [and punish you] as you deserve to be punished for your sinful behavior. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”’”
Eu, o Senhor, o fallei; virá, e o farei: não me tornarei atraz, e não pouparei, nem me arrependerei; conforme os teus caminhos, e conforme os teus tratos, te julgarão, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
15 [One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
16 “You human, I am going to suddenly take from [your wife], whom you love very much. [when she dies], do [show that you are] sad or lament or cry.
Filho do homem, eis que tirarei de ti o desejo dos teus olhos d'um golpe, mas não lamentarás, nem chorarás, nem te correrão as lagrimas.
17 Groan quietly; do not cry [openly] for her. [Keep] your turban wrapped around your head, [instead of being barefoot, keep] your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your [to show that you are sad]. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.”
Refreia-te de gemer, não farás luto por mortos, ata o teu turbante, e mette nos pés os teus sapatos; e não te rebuçarás, e o pão dos homens não comerás
18 [one morning] I talked to the [as usual], and that evening my wife [suddenly] died. The next morning I did what [Yahweh] had told me to do.
E fallei ao povo pela manhã, e á tarde morreu minha mulher: e fiz pela manhã como se me deu ordem.
19 Then the people asked me, “What do the things that you are doing signify to us?”
E o povo me disse: Porventura não nos farás saber o que nos significam estas coisas que tu estás fazendo?
20 So I said to them, “[This is what] Yahweh told me:
E eu lhes disse: Veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
21 ‘Tell the Israeli people [MTY] that I am about to destroy the temple, [the building] that you are very proud of, the building that you delight to look at. Your children whom you [in Jerusalem when you were forced to come to Babylon] will be killed [their enemies’] swords.
Dize á casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu profanarei o meu sanctuario, a gloria da vossa fortaleza, o desejo dos vossos olhos, e o regalo das vossas almas; e vossos filhos e vossas filhas, que deixastes, cairão á espada.
22 [When that happens], you will do like I have done: You will not cover the lower part of your faces, or eat the kinds of food that people who are mourning usually eat.
E fareis como eu fiz: não vos rebuçareis, e não comereis o pão dos homens.
23 [You will keep] your turbans wrapped around your heads and [keep] your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or cry, but your bodies will become very thin and slowly die because of your sins. And you will groan to each other.
E tereis nas cabeças os vossos turbantes, e os vossos sapatos nos pés; não lamentareis, nem chorareis, mas definhar-vos-heis nas vossas maldades, e dareis gemidos uns com os outros.
24 Ezekiel will be a warning to you, and you must do what he has done. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh the [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Assim vos servirá Ezequiel de signal; conforme tudo quanto fez fareis: vendo isto, então sabereis que eu sou o Senhor Jehovah.
25 [Then Yahweh said to me], “You human, [soon] I will destroy their sacred temple, which they rejoice about and which they respect and delight to look at, and [I will get rid of] their sons and daughters also.
E tu, filho do homem, porventura não será no dia que eu lhes tirar a sua fortaleza, o gozo do seu ornamento, o desejo dos seus olhos, e a saudade das suas almas, seus filhos e suas filhas,
26 On that day, someone will escape [from Jerusalem] and come and tell you what has happened [there].
Aquelle dia em que virá ter comtigo algum que escapar, para t'o fazer ouvir com os ouvidos?
27 When that happens, you will be able to speak again [MTY] [without constraint]. You two will talk together [DOU]. You will be a warning to the people; and they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
N'aquelle dia abrir-se-ha a tua bocca para com aquelle que escapar, e fallarás, e mais não ficarás mudo: assim lhes virás a ser um signal maravilhoso, e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
