Ezequiel 20

1 E aconteceu, no setimo anno, no mez quinto, aos dez do mez, que vieram alguns dos anciãos de Israel, para consultarem o Senhor; e assentaram-se diante de mim.

And it happened that, in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, men from the elders of Israel arrived, so that they might inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.

2 Então veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

3 Filho do homem, falla aos anciãos de Israel, e dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Vindes vós consultar-me? vivo eu, que vós não me consultareis, diz o Senhor Jehovah.

“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Have you arrived in order to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, says the Lord God.

4 Porventura tu os julgarias, julgarias tu, ó filho do homem? notifica-lhes as abominações de seus paes;

If you judge them, if you judge, O son of man, reveal to them the abominations of their fathers.

5 E dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: No dia em que escolhi a Israel, levantei a minha mão para a semente da casa de Jacob, e me dei a conhecer a elles na terra do Egypto, e levantei a minha mão para elles, dizendo: Eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus;

And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and I lifted up my hand on behalf of the stock of the house of Jacob, and I appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and I lifted up my hand on their behalf, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God,’

6 N'aquelle dia levantei a minha mão para elles, que os tiraria da terra do Egypto, para uma terra que já tinha previsto para elles, que mana leite e mel, que é a gloria de todas as terras.

in that day, I lifted up my hand for their sake, so that I would lead them away from the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which was singular among all lands.

7 Então lhes disse: Cada um lance de si as abominações dos seus olhos, e não vos contamineis com os idolos do Egypto: eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus.

And I said to them: ‘Let each one cast away the offenses of his eyes, and do not choose to defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’

8 Porém rebellaram-se contra mim, e não me quizeram ouvir; ninguem lançava de si as abominações dos seus olhos, nem deixava os idolos do Egypto: então eu disse que derramaria sobre elles o meu furor, para cumprir a minha ira contra elles no meio da terra do Egypto.

But they provoked me, and they were not willing to listen to me. Each one of them did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, nor did they leave behind the idols of Egypt. And so, I said that I would pour out my indignation upon them, and fulfill my wrath against them, in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 Porém obrei por amor do meu nome, para que não fosse profanado diante dos olhos das nações, no meio das quaes estavam, a cujos olhos eu me dei a conhecer a elles, para os tirar para fóra da terra do Egypto.

But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt.

10 E os tirei para fóra da terra do Egypto, e os levei ao deserto.

Therefore, I cast them out of the land of Egypt, and I led them away into the desert.

11 E dei-lhes os meus estatutos, e lhes mostrei os meus juizos, os quaes, se os fizer o homem, viverá por elles.

And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them.

12 E tambem lhes dei os meus sabbados, para que servissem de signal entre mim e entre elles: para que soubessem que eu sou o Senhor que os sanctifica.

Moreover, I also gave to them my Sabbaths, so that these would be a sign between me and them, and so that they would know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

13 Mas a casa de Israel se rebellou contra mim no deserto, não andando nos meus estatutos, e rejeitando os meus juizos, os quaes, fazendo-os, o homem viverá por elles; e profanaram grandemente os meus sabbados; e eu disse que derramaria sobre elles o meu furor no deserto, para os consumir.

But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would consume them.

14 Porém obrei por amor do meu nome, para que não fosse profanado diante dos olhos das nações perante cujos olhos os fiz sair.

But I acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight.

15 E, comtudo, eu levantei a minha mão para elles no deserto, que não os faria entrar na terra que lhes tinha dado, que mana leite e mel, que é a gloria de todas as terras,

And so I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, so as not to lead them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, the foremost of all lands.

16 Porque rejeitaram os meus juizos, e não andaram nos meus estatutos, e profanaram os meus sabbados; porque o seu coração andava após os seus idolos.

For they cast aside my judgments, and they did not walk in my precepts, and they violated my Sabbaths. For their heart went after idols.

17 Porém o meu olho lhes perdoou, para não os destruir nem os consumir no deserto.

Yet my eye was lenient concerning them, so that I did not utterly destroy them, nor did I consume them in the desert.

18 Mas disse eu a seus filhos no deserto: Não andeis nos estatutos de vossos paes, nem guardeis os seus juizos, nem vos contamineis com os seus idolos.

Then I said to their sons in the wilderness: ‘Do not choose to advance by the precepts of your fathers, nor should you observe their judgments. And do not be defiled by their idols.

19 Eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus; andae nos meus estatutos, e guardae os meus juizos, e fazei-os.

I am the Lord your God. Walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them.

20 E sanctificae os meus sabbados, e servirão de signal entre mim e entre vós, para que saibaes que eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus.

And sanctify my Sabbaths, so that these may be a sign between me and you, and so that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

21 Mas tambem os filhos se rebellaram contra mim, e não andaram nos meus estatutos, nem guardaram os meus juizos para os fazer, os quaes, fazendo-os, o homem viverá por elles; tambem profanaram os meus sabbados; e eu disse que derramaria sobre elles o meu furor, para cumprir contra elles a minha ira no deserto.

But their sons provoked me. They did not walk in my precepts. And they did not observe my judgments, so as to do them; for if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they violated my Sabbaths. And so, I threatened that I would pour out my fury upon them, and that I would fulfill my wrath among them in the desert.

22 Porém retirei a minha mão, e obrei por amor do meu nome, para que não fosse profanado perante os olhos das nações, perante cujos olhos os fiz sair

But I turned aside my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, before their eyes.

23 Tambem eu levantei a minha mão para elles no deserto, que os espalharia entre as nações, e os derramaria pelas terras;

Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands.

24 Porque não fizeram os meus juizos, e rejeitaram os meus estatutos, e profanaram os meus sabbados, e os seus olhos se iam após os idolos de seus paes.

For they had not accomplished my judgments, and they had rejected my precepts, and they had violated my Sabbaths. And their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.

25 Pelo que tambem eu lhes dei estatutos que não eram bons, como tambem juizos pelos quaes não haviam de viver;

Therefore, I also gave them precepts that were not good, and judgments by which they shall not live.

26 E os contaminei em os seus dons, porquanto faziam passar pelo fogo tudo o que abre a madre: para os assolar, para que soubessem que eu sou o Senhor.

And I defiled them by their own gifts, when they offered everything that opened the womb, because of their offenses. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

27 Portanto falla á casa de Israel, ó filho do homem, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ainda até n'isto me blasphemaram vossos paes, que, com uma transgressão, transgrediram contra mim

For this reason, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God. Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, after they had spurned and despised me,

28 Porque, havendo-os eu introduzido na terra sobre a qual eu levantara a minha mão que lh'a havia de dar, então olharam para todo o outeiro alto, e para toda a arvore espessa, e sacrificaram ali os seus sacrificios, e apresentaram ali a provocação das suas offertas, pozeram ali os seus cheiros suaves, e ali derramaram as suas libações.

though I had led them into the land, about which I lifted up my hand, so that I might give it to them: They saw every lofty hill and every leafy tree, and there they immolated their victims, and there they presented the provocation of their oblations, and there they stationed their sweet fragrances, and poured out their libations.

29 E eu lhes disse: Que alto é este, aonde vós ides? e seu nome foi chamado Bamah até ao dia de hoje.

And I said to them, ‘What is exalted about the place to which you go?’ And yet its name is called ‘Exalted,’ even to this day.

30 Portanto dize á casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Estaes vós contaminados no caminho de vossos paes? e fornicaes após as suas abominações?

Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Certainly, you are defiled by the way of your fathers, and you have fornicated after their stumbling blocks.

31 E, quando offereceis os vossos dons, e fazeis passar os vossos filhos pelo fogo, então vós estaes contaminados com todos os vossos idolos, até este dia? e vós me consultarieis, ó casa de Israel? vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que vós me não consultareis.

And you are being defiled by all of your idols, even to this day, by the oblation of your gifts, when you lead your sons through the fire. And should I respond to you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not answer you.

32 E o que subiu ao vosso espirito de maneira alguma succederá, quando dizeis: Seremos como as nações, como as demais gerações da terra, servindo ao madeiro e á pedra

And the plan of your mind will not occur, saying: ‘We will be like the Gentiles, and like the families of the earth, so that we worship what is wood and stone.’

33 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com indignação derramada, hei de reinar sobre vós

As I live, says the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured forth.

34 E vos tirarei d'entre os povos, e vos congregarei das terras nas quaes andaes espalhados, com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com indignação derramada.

And I will lead you away from the peoples. And I will gather you from the lands into which you were dispersed. I will reign over you with a powerful hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

35 E vos levarei ao deserto dos povos; e ali entrarei em juizo comvosco cara a cara.

And I will lead you into the desert of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you, face to face.

36 Como já entrei em juizo com vossos paes, no deserto da terra do Egypto, assim entrarei em juizo comvosco, diz o Senhor Jehovah.

Just as I contended in judgment against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so also will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord God.

37 E vos farei passar debaixo da vara, e vos farei entrar no vinculo do concerto.

And I will subject you to my scepter, and I will lead you into the bonds of the covenant.

38 E separarei d'entre vós os rebeldes, e os que prevaricaram contra mim; da terra das suas peregrinações os tirarei, mas á terra de Israel não voltarão: e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.

And I will select, from among you, the transgressors and the impious. And I will lead them away from the land of their sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

39 E, quanto a vós, ó casa de Israel, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ide, servi cada um os seus idolos, pois que a mim me não quereis ouvir; não profaneis mais o meu sancto nome com as vossas dadivas e com os vossos idolos.

And as for you, house of Israel: thus says the Lord God: Walk, each one of you, after your idols and serve them. But if in this also you will not listen to me, and you continue to defile my holy name with your gifts and with your idols,

40 Porque no meu sancto monte, no monte alto de Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah, ali me servirá toda a casa de Israel, toda ella n'aquella terra: ali me deleitarei n'elles, e ali demandarei as vossas offertas alçadas, e as primicias das vossas dadivas, com todas as vossas coisas sanctas.

on my holy mountain, on the exalted mountain of Israel, says the Lord God, there all the house of Israel shall serve me; all of them, I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there I will require your first-fruits, and the foremost of your tithes, with all your sanctifications.

41 Com cheiro suave me deleitarei em vós, quando eu vos tirar d'entre os povos e vos congregar das terras em que andaes espalhados; e serei sanctificado em vós perante os olhos das nações.

I will receive from you a fragrance of sweetness, when I will have led you away from the peoples, and gathered you from the lands into which you were dispersed. And I will be sanctified in you before the eyes of the nations.

42 E sabereis que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu vos tiver tornado a trazer á terra de Israel, á terra pela qual levantei a minha mão para dal-a a vossos paes.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have led you into the land of Israel, into the land about which I lifted up my hand, so that I would give it to your fathers.

43 E ali vos lembrareis de vossos caminhos, e de todos os vossos tratos com que vos contaminastes, e tereis nojo de vós mesmos, por todas as vossas maldades que tendes commettido.

And there you shall remember your ways and all your wickedness, by which you have been defiled. And you will be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, over all your evil deeds which you did.

44 E sabereis que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu obrar comvosco por amor do meu nome; não conforme os vossos maus caminhos, nem conforme os vossos tratos corruptos, ó casa de Israel, disse o Senhor Jehovah.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have acted well toward you for the sake of my name, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your very great wickedness, O house of Israel, says the Lord God.”

45 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

46 Filho do homem, dirige o teu rosto para o caminho do sul, e derrama as tuas palavras contra o sul, e prophetiza contra o bosque do campo do sul.

“Son of man, set your face against the way of the south, and pour in drops toward Africa, and prophesy against the forest of the field of the meridian.

47 E dize ao bosque do sul: Ouve a palavra do Senhor: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que accenderei em ti um fogo que em ti consumirá toda a arvore verde e toda a arvore secca: não se apagará a chamma flammejante, antes com ella se queimarão todos os rostos, desde o sul até ao norte.

And you shall say to the meridian forest: Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and I will burn up within you every green tree and every dry tree. The flame of the kindling will not be extinguished. And every face will be burned up within it, from the south, even to the north.

48 E verá toda a carne que eu, o Senhor, o accendi: não se apagará.

And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it, and that it will not be extinguished.”

49 Então disse eu: Ah! Senhor Jehovah! elles dizem de mim: Porventura não falla este por parabolas?

And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! They are saying about me: ‘Does this man not speak except through parables?’”
