Ezequiel 44
1 Então me fez voltar para o caminho da porta do sanctuario exterior, que olha para o oriente, a qual estava fechada.
Then [in the vision] the man brought me back to the outer entryway to the temple [area], the one on the east side, but the outer entrance was shut.
2 E disse-me o Senhor: Esta porta estará fechada, não se abrirá, nem ninguem entrará por ella; porquanto o Senhor Deus de Israel entrou por ella: por isso estará fechada.
Yahweh said to me, “This entrance must remain shut. It must not be opened [by anyone]; no one will be permitted to enter it. It must remain shut because [I], Yahweh, the God of Israel, have [caused it to be sacred by] entering through it.
3 O principe, o principe, elle se assentará n'ella, para comer o pão diante do Senhor; pelo caminho do vestibulo da porta entrará, e pelo caminho d'elle sairá.
Only the king [of Israel] will be permitted to sit inside this entryway to eat food in the presence of Yahweh. But he will must enter and leave [the temple area] through the entry room of this entryway.”
4 Depois me levou pelo caminho da porta do norte, diante da casa; e olhei, e eis que a gloria do Senhor encheu a casa do Senhor; então cahi sobre o meu rosto.
Then the man brought me through the north entryway to the front of the temple. I looked and saw that the glory of Yahweh filled his temple, and I prostrated myself on the ground.
5 E disse-me o Senhor: Filho do homem, põe no teu coração, e olha com os teus olhos, e ouve com os teus ouvidos, tudo quanto eu fallar comtigo de todos os estatutos da casa do Senhor, e de todas as suas leis; e põe o teu coração na entrada da casa, com todas as saidas do sanctuario.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look carefully, and listen carefully to everything that I tell you about all the regulations concerning the temple. Note carefully the temple entrance and all the exits.
6 E dize ao rebelde, á casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Bastem-vos todas as vossas abominações, ó casa d'Israel!
Say this to the rebellious Israeli people: ‘This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: You Israeli people, I will no longer endure the detestable things that you do!
7 Porque introduzistes estranhos, incircumcisos de coração e incircumcisos de carne, para estarem no meu sanctuario, para o profanarem em minha casa, quando offereceis o meu pão, a gordura, e o sangue; e elles invalidaram o meu concerto, por causa de todas as vossas abominações.
In addition to all the other detestable things that you do, you brought into my temple foreign men who had not been circumcised and who were godless [IDM]. By doing that, you caused my temple to be an unacceptable place to worship me, while you offered food and fat and blood, and you disobeyed my agreement with you.
8 E não guardastes a ordenança das minhas coisas sagradas; antes vos constituistes, a vós mesmos, guardas da minha ordenança no meu sanctuario.
Instead of doing what I commanded you to do in regard to my holy things, you appointed foreigners to be in charge of my temple.
9 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Nenhum estranho, incircumciso de coração nem incircumciso de carne, entrará no meu sanctuario, d'entre os estranhos que se acharem no meio dos filhos de Israel.
But this is what [I], Yahweh, have said: No foreigners, no men who are not circumcised, no godless people are permitted to enter my temple, not even foreigners who live among you [Israelis permanently].
10 Mas os levitas que se apartaram para longe de mim, quando Israel andava errado, os quaes andavam errados, desviados de mim, por irem atraz dos seus idolos, bem levarão sobre si a sua iniquidade.
[Most of] the descendants of Levi abandoned me along with [most of] the Israeli people, and started to worship idols. They must be punished for their sin.
11 Comtudo serão ministros no meu sanctuario, nos officios das portas da casa, e servirão a casa: elles degolarão o holocausto, e o sacrificio para o povo, e elles estarão perante elles, para os servir.
They are [still] permitted to work in my temple and to be in charge of the entrances of the temple, and they are permitted to slaughter the animals that will be completely burned on the altar, and [to burn other] sacrifices for the people, and they will [be able to] help the people.
12 Porque lhes ministraram diante dos seus idolos, e serviram á casa de Israel de tropeço de maldade: por isso eu levantei a minha mão sobre elles, diz o Senhor Jehovah, e elles levarão sobre si a sua iniquidade.
But because they helped the people to worship idols and caused [many of] the Israeli people [MTY] to sin [by worshiping idols], I have lifted up my arm and solemnly declared that they must be punished for their sin.
13 E não se chegarão a mim, para me servirem no sacerdocio, nem para se chegarem a alguma de todas as minhas coisas sagradas, ás sanctidades de sanctidades, mas levarão sobre si a sua vergonha e as suas abominações que commetteram.
They must not come near me to serve as priests. They must not come near any sacred things or the holy offerings. They must be ashamed of the shameful things that they did.
14 Comtudo, os constituirei guardas da ordenança da casa, em todo o seu serviço, e em tudo o que n'ella se fizer.
But I will still put them in charge of the work in the temple and allow them to do all the work that needs to be done there.
15 Mas os sacerdotes leviticos, os filhos de Zadoc, que guardaram a ordenança do meu sanctuario quando os filhos de Israel andavam errados de mim, elles se chegarão a mim, para me servirem, e estarão diante de mim, para me offerecerem a gordura e o sangue, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
But [most of] the priests who are descendants of Levi and from the clan of Zadok worked in my temple when the [other] Israelis abandoned me. [So they] are permitted to come near to me to work for me. They will stand in my presence to offer [sacrifices of animals’] fat and blood.
16 Elles entrarão no meu sanctuario, e elles se chegarão á minha mesa, para me servirem, e guardarão a minha ordenança.
They [are the only ones who] are permitted to enter my temple. They are [the only ones who are] permitted to come near my altar to serve me and do what I tell them to do.
17 E será que, quando entrarem pelas portas do atrio interior, se vestirão de vestiduras de linho; e não subirá lã sobre elles, quando servirem nas portas do atrio interior, e dentro.
When they enter [one of] the entrances into the inner courtyard, they must wear linen clothes. They must not wear any clothes [made] of wool while they do their work at the entrances of the inner courtyard or inside [the temple].
18 Coifas de linho estarão sobre as suas cabeças, e ceroulas de linho estarão sobre os seus lombos: não se cingirão de modo que lhes venha suor
They must have linen turbans [wrapped] around their heads and wrap linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that would cause them to perspire.
19 E, saindo elles ao atrio exterior, ao atrio exterior ao povo, despirão as suas vestiduras com que elles ministraram, e as porão nas sanctas camaras, e se vestirão de outros vestidos, para que não sanctifiquem o povo estando com as suas vestiduras.
Before they go out into the outer courtyard where [other] people are, they must take off the clothes that they have been wearing and leave them in the sacred rooms, and they must put on other clothes, in order that the other people are not punished because of [their touching] the sacred clothes.
20 E a sua cabeça não raparão, nem deixarão crescer o seu cabello; antes, como convem, tosquiarão as suas cabeças.
The priests must not shave their heads or allow their hair to become long; but they must regularly trim [the edges of] their hair.
21 E nenhum sacerdote beberá vinho quando entrar no atrio interior.
Priests must not drink wine before they enter the inner courtyard.
22 E elles não se casarão nem com viuva nem com repudiada, mas tomarão virgens da semente da casa de Israel, ou viuva que fôr viuva de sacerdote.
[Also], priests must not marry widows [of men who were not priests] or women who have been divorced. [Priests are permitted to marry only] Israeli [MTY] virgins or widows of [other] priests.
23 E a meu povo ensinarão a differença entre o sancto e o profano, e lhe farão saber a differença entre o impuro e o puro.
Priests must teach the people the difference between things that are holy/sacred and things that are not, and they must teach them the difference between things that are acceptable to me and things that are not.
24 E, quando houver pleito, elles assistirão a elle para o julgarem; pelos meus juizos o julgarão: e as minhas leis e os meus estatutos em todas as minhas solemnidades guardarão, e os meus sabbados sanctificarão.
When there are disputes [between people], the priests are the ones who must be the judges and decide according to my laws what must be done. They must obey all my laws and decrees concerning the sacred festivals, and they must keep my Sabbath days (holy/set apart).
25 E elles não entrarão a homem morto, para se contaminarem; mas por pae, ou por mãe, ou por filho, ou por filha, ou por irmão, ou por irmã que não tiver marido, se poderão contaminar.
A priest is permitted to go near the corpse of his father or his mother or his son or his daughter or his brother or his unmarried sister; but he is still defiled by doing that. But a priest must not defile himself by going near a corpse of anyone else.
26 E, depois da sua purificação, lhe contarão sete dias.
But [even] if a priest touches the corpse [of a close relative, he must perform the rituals to become acceptable to serve me again]. After he performs those rituals, he must wait seven days.
27 E, no dia em que elle entrar no logar sancto, no atrio interior, para ministrar no logar sancto, offerecerá a sua expiação pelo peccado, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
Then, on the day that he enters the inner courtyard [again] to serve me in the temple, he must give an offering to remove his guilt for his sin. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
28 E isto lhes será por herança: eu serei a sua herança: não lhes dareis portanto possessão em Israel: eu sou a sua possessão.
The priests are not permitted to own any property. They will have only what I [provide for them].
29 A offerta de manjares, e o sacrificio pelo peccado, e o sacrificio pela culpa elles comerão; e toda a coisa consagrada em Israel será d'elles.
They will eat the offerings [other people make] from grain, offerings to remove people’s guilt for having sinned, and offerings made when people fail to give to Yahweh the things that they are required to give. Everything [else] in Israel that is completely dedicated to [me], Yahweh, will belong to the priests.
30 E as primicias de todos os primeiros fructos de tudo, e toda a offerta de todas as vossas offertas, serão dos sacerdotes; tambem as primeiras das vossas massas dareis ao sacerdote; para que faça repousar a benção sobre a tua casa.
The best fruits of the first part of each harvest and all the [other] special gifts that are given to me will belong to the priests. You must give them the first part of your finely-ground flour, in order that I will bless [the people who live in] [MTY] your houses.
31 Nenhuma coisa, que de si mesmo haja morrido ou haja sido arrebatada de aves e das bestas, comerão os sacerdotes.
Priests must not eat the flesh of any bird or animal that was found dead or that has been killed by wild animals.’”
