Ezequiel 9
1 Então me gritou aos ouvidos com grande voz, dizendo: Fazei chegar os intendentes da cidade, cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão.
Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”
2 E eis que vinham seis homens caminho da porta alta, que olha para o norte, e cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão, e entre elles um homem vestido de linho, com um tinteiro de escrivão á sua cinta; e entraram, e se pozeram junto ao altar de bronze.
Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 E a gloria do Deus d'Israel se levantou de sobre o cherubim sobre o qual estava, até ao umbral da casa; e clamou ao homem vestido de linho, que tinha o tinteiro de escrivão á sua cinta.
[Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
4 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Passa pelo meio da cidade, pelo meio de Jerusalem, e marca com um signal as testas dos homens que suspiram e que gemem por causa de todas as abominações que se commettem no meio d'ella.
and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”
5 E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: Passae pela cidade após elle, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçaes.
While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
6 Matae velhos, mancebos, e virgens, e meninos, e mulheres, até exterminal-os; porém a todo o homem que tiver o signal não vos chegueis; e começae pelo meu sanctuario. E começaram pelos homens mais velhos que estavam diante da casa
Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.
7 E disse-lhes: Contaminae a casa e enchei os atrios de mortos: sahi. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
8 Succedeu pois que, havendo-os ferido, e ficando eu de resto, cahi sobre a minha face, e clamei, e disse: Ah! Senhor Jehovah! dar-se-ha caso que destruas todo o restante de Israel, derramando a tua indignação sobre Jerusalem?
While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”
9 Então me disse: A maldade da casa de Israel e de Judah é grandissima, e a terra se encheu de sangue e a cidade se encheu de perversidade; porque dizem: O Senhor deixou a terra, e o Senhor não vê
He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’
10 Pois tambem, emquanto a mim, não poupará o meu olho, nem me compadecerei: sobre a cabeça d'elles farei recair o seu caminho.
[So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”
11 E eis que o homem que estava vestido de linho, a cuja cinta estava o tinteiro, tornou com a resposta, dizendo: Fiz como me mandaste.
Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
