Ezequiel 29
1 No decimo anno, no decimo mez, no dia doze do mez, veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
2 Filho do homem, dirige o teu rosto contra Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e prophetiza contra elle e contra todo o Egypto.
“You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
3 Falla, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis-me contra ti, ó Pharaó, rei do Egypto, o grande dragão, que pousa no meio dos seus rios, e que diz: O meu rio é meu, e eu o fiz para mim
Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for myself].”
4 Porém eu porei anzoes em teus queixos, e prenderei o peixe dos teus rios ás tuas escamas; e todo o peixe dos teus rios se pegará ás tuas escamas.
But [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking to your scales.
5 E te deixarei no deserto, a ti e a todo o peixe dos teus rios; sobre a face do campo cairás: não serás recolhido nem ajuntado: aos animaes da terra e ás aves do céu te dei por mantimento.
I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.
6 E saberão todos os moradores do Egypto que eu sou o Senhor, porquanto se fizera um bordão de canna para a casa d'Israel.
When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.
7 Tomando-te elles pela tua mão, te quebrantaste, e lhes rasgaste todo o hombro, e, encostando-se elles a ti, te quebraste, e lhes fizeste estar immoveis a todos os lombos.
And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.
8 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu trarei sobre ti a espada, e destruirei de ti homem e animal.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
9 E a terra do Egypto se tornará em assolação e deserto; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, porquanto disse: O rio é meu, e eu o fiz.
Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it!”
10 Portanto, eis que eu estou contra ti e contra os teus rios; e tornarei a terra do Egypto em desertas e assoladas solidões, desde a torre de Sevene até aos confins da Ethiopia.
Therefore I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.
11 Não passará por ella pé de homem, nem pé de animal passará por ella, nem será habitada quarenta annos
For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
12 Porque tornarei a terra do Egypto em assolação no meio das terras assoladas; e as suas cidades no meio das cidades desertas se tornarão em assolação por quarenta annos; e espalharei os egypcios entre as nações, e os derramarei pelas terras
Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].
13 Porém assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ao cabo de quarenta annos ajuntarei os egypcios d'entre os povos entre os quaes foram espalhados.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 E tornarei a trazer o captiveiro dos egypcios, e os tornarei á terra de Pathros, á terra do seu commercio; e serão ali um reino baixo.
I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] kingdom.
15 Mais baixo se fará do que os outros reinos, e nunca mais se exalçará sobre as nações; porque os diminuirei, para que não dominem sobre as nações.
It will be the least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.
16 E não servirá mais á casa d'Israel de confiança, para lhe trazer á lembrança a sua iniquidade, quando olharem para traz d'elles; antes saberão que eu sou o Senhor Jehovah.
[When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
17 E succedeu que, no anno vinte e sete, no mez primeiro, no primeiro dia do mez, veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:
18 Filho do homem, Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, fez com que o seu exercito prestasse um grande serviço contra Tyro; toda a cabeça se tornou calva, e todo o hombro se pelou: e não houve paga de Tyro para ella, nem para o seu exercito, pelo serviço que prestou contra ella.
“You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].
19 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu darei a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, a terra do Egypto; e levará a sua multidão, e despojará o seu despojo, e roubará a sua preza, e isto será a paga para o seu exercito.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
20 Por paga do seu trabalho, com que serviu contra ella, lhe dei a terra do Egypto; porquanto trabalharam por mim, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].
21 N'aquelle dia farei brotar o poder na casa de Israel, e te darei abrimento da bocca no meio d'elles; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
