Ezekiel 23

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Veio mais a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.

Filho do homem, houve duas mulheres, filhas de uma mãe.

3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.

Estas fornicaram no Egito; na sua mocidade fornicaram; ali foram apertados os seus peitos, e ali foram apalpados os seios da sua virgindade.

4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.

E os seus nomes eram: Ohola, a mais velha, e Oholiba, sua irmã; e foram minhas, e pariram filhos e filhas; e, quanto aos seus nomes, Samaria é Ohola, e Jerusalém é Oholiba.

5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,

E fornicou Ohola, sendo minha; e enamorou-se dos seus amantes, dos assyrios, seus vizinhos,

6 the governor who wore blue, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses.

Vestidos de azul, prefeitos e magistrados, todos mancebos de cobiçar, cavaleiros montados a cavalo.

7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men, and she made herself unclean with everyone she lusted for—and with all their idols.

Assim cometeu ela as suas fornicações com eles, os quais todos eram a flôr dos filhos da Assyria, e com todos os de quem se enamorava; com todos os seus ídolos se contaminou.

8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.

E as suas fornicações, que trouxe do Egito, não as deixou; porque com ela se deitaram na sua mocidade, e eles apalparam os seios da sua virgindade, e derramaram sobre ela a sua fornicação.

9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted.

Portanto a entreguei na mão dos seus amantes, na mão dos filhos da Assyria, de quem se enamorara.

10 They uncovered her nakedness, took her sons and daughters, killed her with the sword, and she became notorious among other women, so they executed judgment on her.

Estes descobriram a sua vergonha, levaram seus filhos e suas filhas, mas a ela mataram à espada; e foi afamada entre as mulheres, e nela exerceram os juízos.

11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister.

O que vendo sua irmã Oholiba, corrompeu o seu amor mais do que ela, e as suas fornicações mais do que as fornicações de sua irmã

12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses. All of them were strong, handsome men.

Enamorou-se dos filhos da Assyria, dos prefeitos e dos magistrados seus vizinhos, vestidos com primor, cavaleiros que andam montados em cavalos, todos mancebos de cobiçar.

13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.

E vi que se tinha contaminado; que o caminho de ambas era o mesmo.

14 Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,

E aumentou as suas fornicações, porque viu homens pintados na parede, imagens dos caldeus, pintadas de vermelho;

15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them had the appearance of officers of chariot troops, the likeness of sons of Babylonia, whose native land is Chaldea.

Cingidos de cinto nos seus lombos, e tiaras largas tingidas nas suas cabeças, todos de parecer de capitães, à semelhança dos filhos de Babilônia em Chaldea, terra do seu nascimento.

16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.

E se enamorou deles, vendo-os com os seus olhos: e lhes mandou mensageiros a Chaldea.

17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.

Então vieram a ela os filhos de Babilônia para a cama dos amores, e a contaminaram com as suas fornicações: e ela se contaminou com eles; então apartou-se deles a alma dela.

18 When she displayed her acts of prostitution and uncovered her nakedness, I turned away from her, just as I had turned away in disgust from her sister.

Assim descobriu as suas fornicações, e descobriu a sua vergonha: então a minha alma se apartou dela, como já se tinha apartado a minha alma de sua irmã.

19 Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt.

Porém multiplicou as suas fornicações, lembrando-se dos dias da sua mocidade, em que fornicara na terra do Egito.

20 So she lusted for her lovers, whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.

E enamorou-se dos seus amantes, cujas carnes são como carnes de jumentos, e cujo fluxo é como o fluxo de cavalos.

21 This is how you committed shameful acts of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young breasts.

Assim trouxeste à memória a enormidade da tua mocidade, quando os do Egito apalpavam os teus seios, por causa dos peitos da tua mocidade.

22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will turn your lovers against you. Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from every side:

Por isso, ó Oholiba, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu suscitarei contra ti os teus amantes, dos quais se tinha apartado a tua alma, e os trarei contra ti de em redor:

23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, strong, handsome men, governors and commanders, all of them are officers and men of reputation, all of them riding on horses.

Os filhos de Babilônia, e todos os caldeus de Pecod, e de Soa, e de Coa, e todos os filhos da Assyria com eles, mancebos de cobiçar, prefeitos e magistrados todos eles, capitães e homens afamados, todos eles montados a cavalo.

24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people. They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around. I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions.

E virão contra ti com carros, carretas e rodas, e com ajuntamento de povos; e se porão contra ti em redor com rodelas, e escudos, e capacetes: e porei diante deles o juízo, e julgar-te-ão segundo os teus juízos.

25 For I will set my jealous anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.

E porei contra ti o meu zelo, e usarão de indignação contigo: o nariz e as orelhas te tirarão, e o que te ficar de resto cairá à espada: teus filhos e tuas filhas eles te tomarão, e o que ficar por último em ti será consumido pelo fogo.

26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry.

Também te despirão os teus vestidos, e te tomarão as tuas jóias de enfeite.

27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer.'

Assim farei cessar em ti a tua enormidade e a tua fornicação da terra do Egito; e não levantarás os teus olhos para eles, nem te lembrarás mais do Egito.

28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away.

Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu te entregarei na mão dos que aborreces, na mão daqueles de quem se tinha apartado a tua alma.

29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you naked and bare, and your nakedness will be uncovered just as when you engaged in promiscuity and prostitutions.

E te tratarão com ódio, e levarão todo o teu trabalho, e te deixarão nua e despida: e descobrir-se-á a vergonha da tua fornicação, e a tua enormidade, e as tuas fornicações.

30 These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with their idols.

Estas coisas se te farão, porquanto tu fornicaste após os gentios, e porquanto te contaminaste com os seus ídolos.

31 You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup of punishment into your hand.'

No caminho de tua irmã andaste; por isso te darei o seu copo na tua mão.

32 The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister's cup that is deep and large. You will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount.

Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Beberás o copo de tua irmã, fundo e largo: servirás de riso e escarneio; ele leva muito.

33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation; the cup of your sister Samaria.

De embriaguez e de dor te encherás: o copo de tua irmã Samaria é copo de espanto e de assolação.

34 You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces. For I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'

Bebe-lo-ás pois, e esgota-lo-ás, e os seus cacos roerás, e os teus peitos arrancarás; porque eu o falei, diz o Senhor Jehovah.

35 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will bear the consequences of your shameful behavior and acts of sexual immorality.'”

Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto te esqueceste de mim, e me lançaste para traz das tuas costas, leva tu pois também a tua enormidade e as tuas fornicações.

36 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,

E disse-me o Senhor: Filho do homem, porventura julgarias a Ohola e a Oholiba? mostra-lhes pois as suas abominações.

37 since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and they have even caused their sons to pass through the fire, as food for their idols.

Porque cometeram adultério, e sangue se acha nas suas mãos, e com os seus ídolos cometeram adultério, e até os seus filhos, que me geraram, fizeram passar pelo fogo por si, para os consumir.

38 Then they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile my Sabbaths.

E ainda isto me fizeram: contaminaram o meu santuário no mesmo dia, e profanaram os meus sábados.

39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle of my house.

Porque, havendo sacrificado seus filhos aos seus ídolos, vinham ao meu santuário no mesmo dia para o profanarem; e eis que assim fizeram no meio da minha casa.

40 You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold. They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.

E, o que mais é, enviaram uns homens, que haviam de vir de longe, aos quais fôra enviado um mensageiro, e eis que vieram, por amor dos quais te lavaste, coloriste os teus olhos, e te enfeitaste de enfeites.

41 There you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it where you placed my incense and my oil.

E te assentaste sobre um leito de honra, diante do qual estava uma mesa preparada: e puseste sobre ela o meu incenso e o meu óleo.

42 So the sound of a noisy crowd was around her; including all kinds of men, even Sabeans were brought in from the wilderness, and they put bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Havia com ela a voz de uma multidão satisfeita, e com varões da classe baixa foram trazidos beberrões do deserto; e puseram braceletes nas suas mãos, e corôas de esplendor nas suas cabeças.

43 Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she with them.'

Então disse à envelhecida em adultérios: Agora deveras fornicarão as suas fornicações, como também ela.

44 They went in to her and slept with her as men go in to be with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, who were immoral women.

E entraram a ela, como quem entra a uma prostituta: assim entraram a Ohola e a Oholiba, mulheres infames.

45 But righteous men will pass judgment and punish them as adulteresses, and they will punish them with the sentence for those who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.

De maneira que homens justos eles as julgarão conforme o juízo das adulteras, e conforme o juízo das que derramam o sangue; porque adulteras são, e sangue há nas suas mãos.

46 So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them up to be terrorized and plundered.

Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Farei subir contra elas uma congregação, e as entregarei ao desterro e ao roubo.

47 Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.

E a congregação as apedrejará com pedras, e as acutilarão com as suas espadas: a seus filhos e a suas filhas matarão, e as suas casas queimarão a fogo.

48 For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.

Assim farei cessar a infâmia da terra, para que se escarmentem todas as mulheres, e não façam conforme a vossa infâmia.

49 So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”

E a vossa infâmia carregarão sobre vós, e levareis os pecados dos vossos ídolos; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor Jehovah.
