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.
[Then God’s] Spirit lifted me up and took me to the gate on the east side of the temple area. There at the gate were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, who were leaders 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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, these are the [new leaders in Jerusalem] who are planning to do evil things and who are giving wicked advice [to people] in this city.
3 Que dizem: Não está proximo o tempo de edificar casas; esta cidade é a caldeira, e nós a carne.
They say, ‘[Everything will go well for us, so] it will surely soon be [RHQ] time to build houses. [We are like] [MET] fine/choice pieces of meat that are carefully stored in covered pots, and we are protected [from the bad things that will happen to others].’
4 Portanto, prophetiza contra elles: prophetiza, ó filho do homem.
So, you human, prophesy [the terrible things that will happen to] them.”
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.
Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon me and told me to [to the people], “This is what Yahweh says: You Israeli people [MTY] are saying those things, but I know what you are thinking.
6 Multiplicastes os vossos mortos n'esta cidade, e enchestes as suas ruas de mortos.
You have killed many people in this city and filled the streets with their corpses.
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.
Therefore this is what Yahweh the Lord says: The corpses of the people whom you have killed here are [like] the meat [MET], and this city is [like] the pot [MET], but I will expel you from this city.
8 Temestes a espada, e a espada trarei sobre vós, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
You are afraid [being killed by enemies’] swords, and that is what I will cause to happen to you.
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 expel you from this city and enable foreigners to capture you and punish you.
10 Caireis á espada, e nos confins d'Israel vos julgarei; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
They will kill [EUP] you with their swords; you will be punished [right here] in Israel. Then people will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
11 Esta cidade não vos servirá de caldeira, nem vós servireis de carne no meio d'ella: nos confins d'Israel vos julgarei.
This city will not be [a place were you will be protected like] [MET] meat in a covered pot. I will punish you wherever you are in 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 know that I, Yahweh, [have predicted that would happen], because you have not obeyed my commands and decrees; instead, you have imitated [wicked] behavior [of the people] of the nearby nations.”
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?
While I was prophesying that, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah [suddenly] died. Then I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out loudly, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going [similarly] get rid of all the Israeli people who are still alive?”
14 Então veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Then Yahweh gave me this message:
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.
“You human, the people who are still in Jerusalem are talking about you and your own relatives and about all the other people who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries), saying, ‘They [in Babylonia], far from Yahweh. They have left their [here in Israel, so] their property now belongs to us!’”
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.
So tell [them], “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Although I caused them to be taken far [from Israel] and scattered them among other nations, for a short time I will (be like a refuge for/protect) them in the countries to which they have been taken.”
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.
So also tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [Some day] I will gather you from the [to which you have been taken] and bring you back to Israel, and you will live in your country/land [again].
18 E virão ali, e tirarão d'ella todas as suas coisas detestaveis e todas as suas abominações.
When you return to your country, you will get rid of all the vile statues of gods and detestable idols.
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
I will put a new way of thinking [IDM] within you. I will cause you to no longer be stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me completely [IDM].
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.
When I do that, you will carefully obey all my laws [DOU]. You will be my people, and I will be your 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 who are devoted [worshiping] their vile statues and detestable idols, I will punish them as they deserve for the evil things that they have done.’”
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 winged creatures, with their wheels beside them, spread their [and flew up into the air], and the dazzling brightness of Yahweh was above them.
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.
That light went up away from the city and stopped above the mountain to the east of the city.
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.
In the vision [that I had been seeing, God’s] Spirit lifted me up and brought me [back] to the (exiles in/people who had been forced to go to) Babylonia. Then the vision ended,
25 E fallei aos do captiveiro todas as coisas que o Senhor me tinha mostrado.
and I told the exiles everything that Yahweh had shown [in the vision].
