< Ezequiel 11 >

1 Então me levantou o Espirito, e me levou á porta oriental da casa do Senhor, que olha para o oriente; e eis que estavam á entrada da porta vinte e cinco homens; e no meio d'elles vi a Jaazanias, filho de Azus, e a Pelatias, filho de Benaias, principes do povo.
And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.
2 E disse-me: Filho do homem, estes são os homens que pensam na perversidade, e aconselham conselho mau n'esta cidade.
Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:
3 Que dizem: Não está proximo o tempo de edificar casas; esta cidade é a caldeira, e nós a carne.
Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.
4 Portanto, prophetiza contra elles: prophetiza, ó filho do homem.
For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man.
5 Caiu pois sobre mim o Espirito do Senhor, e disse-me: Dize: Assim diz o Senhor: Assim vós dizeis, ó casa d'Israel, porque, quanto ás coisas que vos sobem ao espirito, eu as conheço.
And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.
6 Multiplicastes os vossos mortos n'esta cidade, e enchestes as suas ruas de mortos.
You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.
7 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Vossos mortos, que deitastes no meio d'ella, esses são a carne, e ella é a caldeira: a vós, porém, vos tirarei do meio d'ella.
For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.
8 Temestes a espada, e a espada trarei sobre vós, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.
9 E vos farei sair do meio d'ella, e vos entregarei na mão de estranhos, e exercerei os meus juizos entre vós.
I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.
10 Caireis á espada, e nos confins d'Israel vos julgarei; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
11 Esta cidade não vos servirá de caldeira, nem vós servireis de carne no meio d'ella: nos confins d'Israel vos julgarei.
This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel;
12 E sabereis que eu sou o Senhor, porque nos meus estatutos não andastes, nem fizestes os meus juizos; antes fizestes conforme os juizos das nações que estão em redor de vós
And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about you.
13 E aconteceu que, prophetizando eu, morreu Pelatias, filho de Benaias: então cahi sobre o meu rosto, e clamei com grande voz, e disse: Ah! Senhor Jehovah! porventura farás tu consummação do resto d'Israel?
Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?
14 Então veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
15 Filho do homem, teus irmãos, sim, teus irmãos, os homens de teu parentesco, e toda a casa de Israel, todos elles, são aquelles a quem os habitantes de Jerusalem disseram: Apartae-vos para longe do Senhor; esta terra se nos deu em possessão.
Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:
16 Portanto, dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ainda que os lancei para longe entre as nações, e ainda que os espalhei pelas terras, todavia lhes servirei de sanctuario, por um pouco de tempo, nas terras para onde foram.
For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.
17 Portanto, dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ora ajuntar-vos-hei dos povos, e vos recolherei das terras para onde fostes lançados, e vos darei a terra d'Israel.
Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 E virão ali, e tirarão d'ella todas as suas coisas detestaveis e todas as suas abominações.
And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.
19 E lhes darei um mesmo coração, e espirito novo porei dentro d'elles: e tirarei da sua carne o coração de pedra, e lhes darei um coração de carne
And I will give them a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh:
20 Para que andem nos meus estatutos, e guardem os meus juizos, e os façam: e elles me serão por povo, e eu lhes serei por Deus.
So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
21 Quanto áquelles cujo coração andar conforme o coração das suas coisas detestaveis, e das suas abominações, farei recair nas suas cabeças o seu caminho, diz o Senhor Jehovah
But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.
22 Então os cherubins elevaram as suas azas, e as rodas os acompanhavam; e a gloria do Deus d'Israel estava em cima, sobre elles.
Then the wings of the winged ones were lifted up, and the wheels were by their side; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
23 E a gloria do Senhor se alçou desde o meio da cidade; e se poz sobre o monte que está defronte do oriente da cidade.
And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.
24 Depois o Espirito me levantou, e me levou á Chaldea, para os do captiveiro, em visão, pelo Espirito de Deus; e subiu de sobre mim a visão que eu tinha visto.
And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.
25 E fallei aos do captiveiro todas as coisas que o Senhor me tinha mostrado.
Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.
