Ezequiel 30
1 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Filho do homem, prophetiza, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Uivae: Ah! aquelle dia!
“You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
3 Porque já está perto o dia, já está perto, digo, o dia do Senhor: dia nublado: o tempo dos gentios será.
That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
4 E espada virá ao Egypto, e haverá grande dôr na Ethiopia, quando cairem os traspassados no Egypto; e tomarão a sua multidão, e quebrar-se-hão os seus fundamentos.
[An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
5 Ethiopia, e Put, e Lud, e toda a mistura de gente, e Cub, e os filhos da terra do concerto, com elles cairão á espada.
[Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
6 Assim diz o Senhor: Tambem cairão os que o Egypto sustem, e descerá a soberba de seu poder: desde a torre de Sevene n'elle cairão á espada, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
7 E serão assolados no meio das terras assoladas; e as suas cidades estarão no meio das cidades desertas.
Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
8 E saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu puzer fogo ao Egypto, e forem quebrados todos os que lhe davam auxilio.
Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
9 N'aquelle dia sairão mensageiros de diante de mim em navios, para espantarem a Ethiopia descuidada; e haverá n'elles grandes dôres, como no dia do Egypto; porque, eis que já vem
At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
10 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eu pois farei cessar a multidão do Egypto, por mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
11 Elle e o seu povo com elle, os mais formidaveis das nações, serão levados para destruirem a terra; e desembainharão as suas espadas contra o Egypto, e encherão a terra de traspassados.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
12 E os rios farei seccos, e venderei a terra á mão dos maus, e assolarei a terra e a sua plenitude pela mão dos estranhos; eu, o Senhor, o fallei.
I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
13 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Tambem destruirei os idolos, e farei cessar as imagens de Noph: e não haverá mais um principe da terra do Egypto; e porei o temor na terra do Egypto.
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
14 E assolarei a Pathros, e porei fogo a Zoan, e executarei juizos em No.
I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
15 E derramarei o meu furor sobre Sin, a força do Egypto, e exterminarei a multidão de No.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
16 E porei fogo no Egypto; Sin terá grande dôr, e No será fendida, e Noph terá angustias quotidianas.
I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
17 Os mancebos de Aven e Pibeseth cairão á espada, e as moças irão em captiveiro.
[Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
18 E em Tahpanes se escurecerá o dia, quando eu quebrar ali os jugos do Egypto, e n'ella cessar a soberba da sua força: uma nuvem a cobrirá, e suas filhas irão em captiveiro.
It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
19 Assim executarei juizos no Egypto, e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
20 E succedeu que, no anno undecimo, no mez primeiro, aos sete do mez, veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
21 Filho do homem, eu quebrei o braço de Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e eis que não será atado com emplastos, nem lhe porão uma ligadura para o atar, para o esforçar, para que pegue na espada.
“You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
22 Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e quebrarei os seus braços, assim o forte como o quebrado, e farei cair da sua mão a espada.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23 E espalharei os egypcios entre as nações, e os espalharei pelas terras.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
24 E esforçarei os braços do rei de Babylonia, e darei a minha espada na sua mão; porém quebrarei os braços de Pharaó, e diante d'elle gemerá como geme o traspassado.
[It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
25 Esforçarei, digo, os braços do rei de Babylonia, mas os braços de Pharaó cairão; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu metter a minha espada na mão do rei de Babylonia, e elle a estender sobre a terra do Egypto
I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
26 E espalharei os egypcios entre as nações, e os espalharei pelas terras: assim saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
