Ezequiel 34
1 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Filho do homem, prophetiza contra os pastores de Israel; prophetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! porventura os pastores não apascentarão as ovelhas?
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3 Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolaes o cevado; porém não apascentaes as ovelhas.
Behold, you feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and kill the fat: but you feed not my sheep.
4 As fracas não fortalecestes, e a doente não curastes, e a quebrada não ligastes, e a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes: porém dominaes sobre ellas com rigor e dureza.
The weak one you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not cherished, and the bruised you have not bound up, and the stray one you have not turned back, and the lost you have not sought; and the strong you have wearied with labour.
5 Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor, e ficaram para pasto de toda a besta do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.
6 As minhas ovelhas andam desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo o alto outeiro; e as minhas ovelhas andam espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem pergunte por ellas, sem haver quem as busque.
And my sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill: yes, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.
7 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.
8 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que, porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues á rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a toda a besta do campo, á falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não perguntam pelas minhas ovelhas, e os pastores se apascentam a si mesmos, e não apascentam as minhas ovelhas;
[As] I live, says the Lord God, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out my sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not my sheep.
9 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
For this cause, O shepherds,
10 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores, e demandarei as minhas ovelhas da sua mão, e os farei cessar de apascentar as ovelhas, e os pastores não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos; e livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua bocca, e lhes não servirão mais de pasto.
thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed my sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will seek out my sheep, and will visit them.
12 Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas; e as farei escapar de todos os logares por onde andam espalhadas, no dia da nuvem e da escuridão.
As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and cloud, in the midst of the sheep that are separated: so will I seek out my sheep, and will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of cloud and darkness.
13 E as tirarei dos povos, e as congregarei das terras, e as trarei á sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto ás correntes, e em todas as habitações da terra.
And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.
14 Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será a sua malhada; ali se deitarão n'uma boa malhada, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel.
I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel: and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord: thus says the Lord God.
16 A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer, e a quebrada atarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei; apascental-as-hei com juizo.
I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgement.
17 E quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu julgarei entre gado pequeno e gado pequeno, entre carneiros e bodes.
And [as for] you, you sheep, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, [between] rams and he-goats.
18 Acaso não vos basta que pasteis o bom pasto, senão que pizeis o resto de vossos pastos a vossos pés? e que bebaes as profundas aguas, senão que enlameeis o resto com os vossos pés
And [is it] not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? and [that] you drank the standing water, [that] you disturbed the residue with your feet?
19 E as minhas ovelhas pastarão o que foi pizado com os vossos pés, e beberão o que tem sido turvado com os vossos pés.
So my sheep fed on that which you had trampled with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.
20 Por isso o Senhor Jehovah assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, sim, eu, julgarei entre o gado gordo e o gado magro.
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep.
21 Porquanto com o lado e com o hombro daes empurrões, e com as vossas pontas escorneaes todas as fracas, até que as espalhaes para fóra,
You did thrust with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and you cruelly treated all the sick.
22 Portanto livrarei as minhas ovelhas, para que não sirvam mais de rapina, e julgarei entre gado miudo e gado miudo.
Therefore I will save my sheep, and they shall not be any more for a prey; and will judge between ram and ram.
23 E levantarei sobre ellas um só pastor, e elle as apascentará: meu servo David, este as apascentará, e este lhes servirá de pastor.
And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, [even] my servant David, and he shall be their shepherd;
24 E eu, o Senhor, lhes serei por Deus, e o meu servo David será principe no meio d'elles: eu, o Senhor, o fallei.
and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25 E farei com elles um concerto de paz, e farei cessar a besta ruim da terra, e habitarão no deserto seguramente, e dormirão nos bosques.
And I will make with David a covenant of peace and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.
26 E a elles, e aos logares ao redor do meu outeiro, os porei por benção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo: chuvas de benção serão.
And I will settle them round about my mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.
27 E as arvores do campo darão o seu fructo, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguros na sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar as varas do seu jugo e os livrar da mão dos que se serviam d'elles.
And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.
28 E não servirão mais de rapina aos gentios, e a besta fera da terra nunca mais os comerá: e habitarão seguramente, e ninguem haverá que os espante.
And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
29 E lhes levantarei uma planta de nome, e nunca mais serão arrebatados da fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opprobrio dos gentios.
And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach of the nations.
30 Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com elles, e que elles são o meu povo, a casa d'Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they my people. O house of Israel, says the Lord God,
31 Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
you are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.
