Ezekiel 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 “You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
Filho do homem, profetiza, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: uivai: Ah! aquele dia!
3 That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
Porque já está perto o dia, já está perto, digo, o dia do Senhor: dia nublado: o tempo dos gentios será.
4 [An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
E espada virá ao Egito, e haverá grande dor na Ethiopia, quando caírem os traspassados no Egito; e tomarão a sua multidão, e quebrar-se-ão os seus fundamentos.
5 [Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
Ethiopia, e Put, e Lud, e toda a mistura de gente, e Cub, e os filhos da terra do concerto, com eles cairão à espada.
6 This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Assim diz o Senhor: também cairão os que o Egito sustem, e descerá a soberba de seu poder: desde a torre de Sevene nele cairão à espada, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
E serão assolados no meio das terras assoladas; e as suas cidades estarão no meio das cidades desertas.
8 Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
E saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu puser fogo ao Egito, e forem quebrados todos os que lhe davam auxílio.
9 At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
Naquele dia sairão mensageiros de diante de mim em navios, para espantarem a Ethiopia descuidada; e haverá neles grandes dores, como no dia do Egito; porque, eis que já vem
10 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eu pois farei cessar a multidão do Egito, por mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia.
11 Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
Ele e o seu povo com ele, os mais formidáveis das nações, serão levados para destruírem a terra; e desembainharão as suas espadas contra o Egito, e encherão a terra de traspassados.
12 I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
E os rios farei secos, e venderei a terra à mão dos maus, e assolarei a terra e a sua plenitude pela mão dos estranhos; eu, o Senhor, o falei.
13 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: também destruirei os ídolos, e farei cessar as imagens de Noph: e não haverá mais um príncipe da terra do Egito; e porei o temor na terra do Egito.
14 I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
E assolarei a Pathros, e porei fogo a Zoan, e executarei juízos em No.
15 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
E derramarei o meu furor sobre Sin, a força do Egito, e exterminarei a multidão de No.
16 I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
E porei fogo no Egito; Sin terá grande dor, e No será fendida, e Noph terá angústias quotidianas.
17 [Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
Os mancebos de Aven e Pibeseth cairão à espada, e as moças irão em cativeiro.
18 It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
E em Tahpanes se escurecerá o dia, quando eu quebrar ali os jugos do Egito, e nela cessar a soberba da sua força: uma nuvem a cobrirá, e suas filhas irão em cativeiro.
19 That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Assim executarei juízos no Egito, e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
20 Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
E sucedeu que, no ano undécimo, no mês primeiro, aos sete do mes, veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
21 “You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
Filho do homem, eu quebrei o braço de faraó, rei do Egito, e eis que não será atado com emplastos, nem lhe porão uma ligadura para o atar, para o esforçar, para que pegue na espada.
22 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra faraó, rei do Egito, e quebrarei os seus braços, assim o forte como o quebrado, e farei cair da sua mão a espada.
23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
E espalharei os egípcios entre as nações, e os espalharei pelas terras.
24 [It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
E esforçarei os braços do rei de Babilônia, e darei a minha espada na sua mão; porém quebrarei os braços de faraó, e diante dele gemerá como geme o traspassado.
25 I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
Esforçarei, digo, os braços do rei de Babilônia, mas os braços de faraó cairão; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu meter a minha espada na mão do rei de Babilônia, e ele a estender sobre a terra do Egito
26 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
E espalharei os egípcios entre as nações, e os espalharei pelas terras: assim saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
