< Ezequiel 16 >
1 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Filho do homem, faze conhecer a Jerusalém as suas abominações.
“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah a Jerusalém: A tua origem e o teu nascimento procedem da terra dos cananeus: teu pai era amorreu, e a tua mãe hethea.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
4 E, quanto ao teu nascimento, no dia em que nasceste não te foi cortado o umbigo, nem foste lavada com a água, vendo-te eu; nem tão pouco foste esfregada com sal, nem envolta em faixas.
[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
5 Não se compadeceu de ti olho algum, para te fazer alguma coisa disto, compadecido de ti; antes foste lançada na face do campo, pelo nojo da tua alma, no dia em que tu nasceste.
No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
6 E, passando eu por ao pé de ti, vi-te pizada no teu sangue, e disse-te: Ainda que estejas no teu sangue, vive; sim, disse-te: Ainda que estejas no teu sangue, vive
Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
7 Eu te fiz multiplicar como o renovo do campo, e cresceste, e te engrandeceste, e chegaste à grande formosura: avultaram os peitos, e brotou o teu pelo; porém estavas nua e descoberta.
[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
8 E, passando eu por ao pé de ti, vi-te, e eis que o teu tempo era tempo de amores; e estendi sobre ti a ourela do meu manto, e cobri a tua nudez; e dei-te juramento, e entrei em concerto contigo, diz o Senhor Jehovah, e tu ficaste sendo minha.
When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
9 Então te lavei na água, e te enxuguei do teu sangue, e te ungi com óleo.
[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
10 E te vesti de bordadura, e te calcei de pelo de texugo, e te cingi de linho fino, e te cobri de seda.
[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
11 E te ornei com ornamentos, e te pus braceletes nas mãos e um colar à rodo do teu pescoço.
[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
12 E te pus uma jóia pendente na testa, e pendentes nas orelhas, e uma coroa de glória na cabeça.
I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
13 E assim foste ornada de ouro e prata, e o teu vestido foi de linho fino, e de seda e bordadura: nutriste-te de flor de farinha, e mel e óleo; e foste formosa em extremo, e foste prospera, até chegares a ser rainha.
So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
14 E saiu de ti a fama entre as nações, por causa da tua formosura, porque perfeita era, por causa da minha glória que eu tinha posto sobre ti, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
15 Porém confiaste na tua formosura, e fornicaste por causa da tua fama; derramaste as tuas fornicações a todo o que passava, para seres sua.
But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
16 E tomaste dos teus vestidos, e fizeste lugares altos enfeitados, de diversas cores, e fornicaste sobre eles: tais coisas não vieram, nem hão de vir.
[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
17 E tomaste as tuas jóias de enfeite, que eu te dei do meu ouro e da minha prata, e fizeste imagens do homens, e fornicaste com elas.
You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
18 E tomaste os teus vestidos bordados, e os cobriste; e o meu óleo e o meu perfume puseste diante delas.
You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
19 E o meu pão que te dei, a flor de farinha, e o óleo e o mel com que eu te sustentava também puseste diante delas em cheiro suave; e assim foi, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
20 Além disto, tomaste a teus filhos e tuas filhas, que me tinhas gerado, e os sacrificaste a elas, para os consumirem: acaso é pequena a tua fornicação?
And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
21 E mataste a meus filhos, e os entregaste a elas para os fazerem passar pelo fogo.
You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
22 E em todas as tuas abominações, e tuas fornicações, não te lembraste dos dias da tua mocidade, quando tu estavas nua e descoberta, e pizada no teu sangue.
All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
23 E sucedeu, depois de toda a tua maldade (ai! ai de ti! diz o Senhor Jehovah),
So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
24 Que edificaste uma abobada, e fizeste lugares altos por todas as ruas.
you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
25 A cada canto do caminho edificaste o teu lugar alto, e fizeste abominável a tua formosura, e alargaste os teus pés a todo o que passava: e assim multiplicaste as tuas fornicações.
At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
26 Também fornicaste com os filhos do Egito, teus vizinhos de grandes carnes, e multiplicaste a tua fornicação para me provocares à ira.
[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
27 Pelo que eis que estendi a minha mão sobre ti, e diminui a tua porção; e te entreguei à vontade das que te aborrecem, a saber, das filhas dos philisteus, as quais se envergonhavam do teu caminho depravado.
So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
28 Também fornicaste com os filhos da Assyria, porquanto eras insaciável; e, fornicando com eles, nem ainda assim ficaste farta;
[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
29 Antes multiplicaste as tuas fornicações na terra de Canaan até Chaldea, e nem ainda com isso te fartaste.
So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
30 Quão fraco está o teu coração, diz o Senhor Jehovah, fazendo tu todas estas coisas, obras de uma mulher meretriz e imperiosa!
I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
31 Edificando tu a tua abobada ao canto de cada caminho, e fazendo o teu lugar alto em cada rua! nem foste como a meretriz, desprezando a paga;
When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
32 Antes como a mulher adúltera que, em lugar de seu marido, recebe os estranhos.
You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
33 A todas as meretrizes dão paga, mas tu dás os teus presentes a todos os teus amantes; e lhes dás presentes, para que venham a ti de todas as partes, por tuas fornicações.
Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
34 Assim que contigo sucede o contrário das mulheres nas tuas fornicações, pois após ti não andam para fornicar; porque, dando tu a paga, e a ti não sendo dada a paga, te fizeste contrária às outras.
So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
35 Portanto, ó meretriz, ouve a palavra do Senhor.
Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
36 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto se derramou o teu dinheiro, e se descobriu a tua nudez nas tuas fornicações com os teus amantes, como também com todos os ídolos das tuas abominações, e no sangue de teus filhos que lhes deste:
I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
37 Portanto, eis que ajuntarei a todos os teus amantes, com os quais te misturaste, como também a todos os que amaste, com todos os que aborreceste, e ajunta-los-ei contra ti em redor, e descobrirei a tua nudez diante deles, para que vejam toda a tua nudez.
So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
38 E julgar-te-ei segundo o teu juízo das adulteras e das que derramam sangue; e entregar-te-ei ao sangue de furor e de ciúme.
I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
39 E entregar-te-ei nas suas mãos, e derribarão a tua abobada, e transtornarão os teus altos lugares, e te despirão os teus vestidos, e tomarão as tuas jóias de enfeite, e te deixarão nua e descoberta.
I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
40 Então farão subir contra ti um ajuntamento, e te apedrejarão com pedra, e te traspassarão com as suas espadas.
They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 E queimarão as tuas casas a fogo, e executarão juízos contra ti, aos olhos de muitas mulheres; e te farei cessar de ser meretriz, e paga não darás mais.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
42 Assim farei descançar em ti o meu furor, e os meus ciúmes se desviarão de ti, e me aquietarei, e nunca mais me indignarei.
Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
43 Porquanto não te lembraste dos dias da tua mocidade, e me provocaste à ira com tudo isto: pelo que, eis que também eu farei recair o teu caminho sobre a tua cabeça, diz o Senhor Jehovah, e não farás tal enormidade de mais sobre todas as tuas abominações.
You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
44 Eis que todo o que usa de provérbios usará de ti neste provérbio, dizendo: Qual a mãe, tal sua filha.
People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
45 Tu és a filha de tua mãe, que tinha nojo de seu marido e de seus filhos; e tu és a irmã de tuas irmãs, que tinham nojo de seus maridos e de seus filhos: vossa mãe foi hethea, e vosso pai amorreu.
You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
46 E tua irmã maior é Samaria, ela e suas filhas, a qual habita à tua esquerda: e tua irmã menor que tu, que habita à tua mão direita, é Sodoma e suas filhas
And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
47 Todavia não andaste nos caminhos, nem fizeste conforme as suas abominações, como se isto mui pouco fôra; porém te corrompeste mais do que elas, em todos os teus caminhos.
You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
48 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que não fez Sodoma, tua irmã, nem ela, nem suas filhas, como fizeste tu e tuas filhas.
I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
49 Eis que esta foi a maldade de Sodoma, tua irmã; soberba, fartura de pão, e abundância de ociosidade teve ela e suas filhas, porém nunca esforçou a mão do pobre e do necessitado.
These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
50 E se ensoberbeceram, e fizeram abominação diante de mim; pelo que as tirei dali, vendo eu isto.
The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
51 Também Samaria não cometeu a metade de teus pecados: e multiplicaste as tuas abominações mais do que elas, e justificaste a tuas irmãs, com todas as tuas abominações que fizeste.
Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
52 Tu pois também leva a tua vergonha, tu que julgaste a tuas irmãs, pelos teus pecados, que fizeste mais abomináveis do que elas; mais justas são do que tu: envergonha-te logo também, e leva a tua vergonha, pois justificaste a tuas irmãs.
Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
53 Eu pois farei voltar os cativos deles; os cativos de Sodoma e suas filhas, e os cativos de Samaria e suas filhas, e os cativos do teu cativeiro entre elas;
However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
54 Para que leves a tua vergonha, e sejas envergonhada por tudo o que fizeste, dando-lhes tu consolação.
You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
55 Quando tuas irmãs, Sodoma e suas filhas, tornarem ao seu primeiro estado, e também Samaria e suas filhas tornarem ao seu primeiro estado, também tu e tuas filhas tornareis ao vosso primeiro estado.
[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
56 Nem até Sodoma, tua irmã, foi ouvida na tua boca, no dia das tuas soberbas,
You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
57 Antes que se descobrisse a tua maldade, como no tempo do desprezo das filhas da Síria, e de todos os que estavam ao redor dela, as filhas dos philisteus, que te desprezavam em redor.
before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
58 A tua enormidade e as tuas abominações tu levarás, diz o Senhor.
And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
59 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: também te farei como fizeste; que desprezaste o juramento, quebrantando o concerto.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
60 Contudo eu me lembrarei do meu concerto contigo nos dias da tua mocidade; e estabelecerei contigo um concerto eterno.
But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
61 Então te lembrarás dos teus caminhos, e te confundirás, quando receberes tuas irmãs maiores do que tu, com as menores do que tu, porque tas darei por filhas, porém não pelo teu concerto.
Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
62 Porque eu estabelecerei o meu concerto contigo, e saberás que eu sou o Senhor;
I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
63 Para que te lembres disso, e te envergonhes, e nunca mais abras a tua boca por causa da tua vergonha, quando me reconciliar contigo de tudo quanto fizeste, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
