Ezequiel 22
1 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Tu pois, ó filho do homem, porventura julgarás, julgarás a cidade sanguinolenta? faze-lhe conhecer pois todas as suas abominações.
“You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai da cidade que derrama o sangue no meio d'ella, para que venha o seu tempo! que faz idolos contra si mesma, para se contaminar!
[Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
4 Pelo teu sangue que derramaste te fizeste culpada, e pelos teus idolos que fabricaste te contaminaste, e fizeste chegar os teus dias, e vieste aos teus annos; por isso eu te fiz o opprobrio das nações e o escarneo de todas as terras.
You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
5 As que estão perto e as que estão longe de ti escarnecerão de ti, immunda de nome, cheia de inquietação.
People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
6 Eis que os principes de Israel, cada um conforme o seu poder, estiveram em ti, para derramarem o sangue.
Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
7 Ao pae e á mãe desprezaram em ti; para com o estrangeiro usaram de oppressão no meio de ti: ao orphão e á viuva opprimiram em ti.
Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
8 As minhas coisas sagradas desprezaste, e os meus sabbados profanaste.
You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
9 Homens calumniadores se acharam em ti, para derramarem o sangue; e em ti sobre os montes comeram; enormidade commetteram no meio de ti.
Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
10 A vergonha do pae descobriram em ti: a que estava immunda, na sua separação, humilharam no meio de ti.
There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
11 Tambem um fez abominação com a mulher do seu proximo, e outro contaminou abominavelmente a sua nora, e outro humilhou no meio de ti a sua irmã, filha de seu pae.
There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
12 Presentes receberam no meio de ti para derramarem o sangue: usura e demasia tomaste, e usaste de avareza com o teu proximo, opprimindo-o; porém de mim te esqueceste, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
13 E eis que bati as mãos contra a tua avareza, de que usaste, e por causa de teu sangue, que houve no meio de ti.
So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
14 Porventura estará firme o teu coração? porventura estarão fortes as tuas mãos, nos dias em que eu tratarei comtigo? eu, o Senhor, o fallei, e o farei.
When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
15 E espalhar-te-hei entre as nações, e espalhar-te-hei pelas terras, e cosumirei a tua immundicia.
I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
16 Assim serás profanada em ti aos olhos das nações, e saberás que eu sou o Senhor.
When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
17 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh [also] said to me,
18 Filho do homem, a casa de Israel se tornou para mim em escorias: todos elles são bronze, e estanho, e ferro, e chumbo no meio do forno: em escorias de prata se tornaram.
“You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
19 Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto todos vós vos tornastes em escorias, por isso eis que eu vos ajuntarei no meio de Jerusalem.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
20 Como se ajuntam a prata, e o bronze, e o ferro, e o chumbo, e o estanho, no meio do forno, para assoprar o fogo sobre elles, para fundir, assim vos ajuntarei na minha ira e no meu furor, e ali vos deixarei e fundirei.
People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
21 E congregar-vos-hei, e assoprarei sobre vós o fogo do meu furor; e sereis fundidos no meio d'ella.
[It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
22 Como se funde a prata no meio do forno, assim sereis fundidos no meio d'ella; e sabereis que eu, o Senhor, derramei o meu furor sobre vós.
as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
23 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
24 Filho do homem, dize-lhe: Tu és uma terra que não está purificada: e não tem chuva no dia da indignação.
“You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
25 Conjuração dos seus prophetas ha no meio d'ella, como um leão que dá bramido, que arrebata a preza: elles devoram as almas; thesouros e coisas preciosas tomam, multiplicam as suas viuvas no meio d'ella.
Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
26 Os seus sacerdotes violentam a minha lei, e profanam as minhas coisas sagradas; entre o sancto e o profano não fazem differença, nem discernem o impuro do puro; e de meus sabbados escondem os seus olhos, e assim sou profanado no meio d'elles.
Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
27 Os seus principes no meio d'ella são como lobos que arrebatam a preza, para derramarem o sangue, para destruirem as almas, para seguirem a avareza.
Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
28 E os seus prophetas os rebocam de cal não adubada, vendo vaidade, e predizendo-lhes mentira, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah; sem que o Senhor tivesse fallado.
Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
29 Ao povo da terra opprimem gravemente, e andam fazendo roubos, e fazem violencia ao afflicto e necessitado, e ao estrangeiro opprimem sem razão.
The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
30 E busquei d'entre elles um homem que estivesse tapando o muro, e estivesse na brecha perante mim por esta terra, para que eu não a destruisse; porém a ninguem achei.
I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
31 Por isso eu derramei sobre elle a minha indignação, com o fogo do meu furor os consumi; fiz que o seu caminho recaisse sobre as suas cabeças, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
