Ezequiel 34
1 E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And there is a word of YHWH 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 concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
3 Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolaes o cevado; porém não apascentaes as ovelhas.
You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
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.
You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
5 Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor, e ficaram para pasto de toda a besta do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
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.
My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
7 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
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—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
9 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
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 a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick 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 have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings 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 feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
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 you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male 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
Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder 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.
And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of 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 said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean 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,
Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
22 Portanto livrarei as minhas ovelhas, para que não sirvam mais de rapina, e julgarei entre gado miudo e gado miudo.
Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
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 have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is 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, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
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 have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in 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 have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers 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 tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on 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 are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
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 have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame 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 have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
31 Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
