Ezequiel 23
1 Veio mais a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh said to me,
2 Filho do homem, houve duas mulheres, filhas de uma mãe.
“You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3 Estas fornicaram no Egito; na sua mocidade fornicaram; ali foram apertados os seus peitos, e ali foram apalpados os seios da sua virgindade.
They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
4 E os seus nomes eram: Ohola, a mais velha, e Oholiba, sua irmã; e foram minhas, e pariram filhos e filhas; e, quanto aos seus nomes, Samaria é Ohola, e Jerusalém é Oholiba.
The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 E fornicou Ohola, sendo minha; e enamorou-se dos seus amantes, dos assyrios, seus vizinhos,
Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
6 Vestidos de azul, prefeitos e magistrados, todos mancebos de cobiçar, cavaleiros montados a cavalo.
[Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
7 Assim cometeu ela as suas fornicações com eles, os quais todos eram a flôr dos filhos da Assyria, e com todos os de quem se enamorava; com todos os seus ídolos se contaminou.
She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
8 E as suas fornicações, que trouxe do Egito, não as deixou; porque com ela se deitaram na sua mocidade, e eles apalparam os seios da sua virgindade, e derramaram sobre ela a sua fornicação.
When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
9 Portanto a entreguei na mão dos seus amantes, na mão dos filhos da Assyria, de quem se enamorara.
So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
10 Estes descobriram a sua vergonha, levaram seus filhos e suas filhas, mas a ela mataram à espada; e foi afamada entre as mulheres, e nela exerceram os juízos.
They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
11 O que vendo sua irmã Oholiba, corrompeu o seu amor mais do que ela, e as suas fornicações mais do que as fornicações de sua irmã
[younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
12 Enamorou-se dos filhos da Assyria, dos prefeitos e dos magistrados seus vizinhos, vestidos com primor, cavaleiros que andam montados em cavalos, todos mancebos de cobiçar.
Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
13 E vi que se tinha contaminado; que o caminho de ambas era o mesmo.
I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
14 E aumentou as suas fornicações, porque viu homens pintados na parede, imagens dos caldeus, pintadas de vermelho;
But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
15 Cingidos de cinto nos seus lombos, e tiaras largas tingidas nas suas cabeças, todos de parecer de capitães, à semelhança dos filhos de Babilônia em Chaldea, terra do seu nascimento.
The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
16 E se enamorou deles, vendo-os com os seus olhos: e lhes mandou mensageiros a Chaldea.
As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
17 Então vieram a ela os filhos de Babilônia para a cama dos amores, e a contaminaram com as suas fornicações: e ela se contaminou com eles; então apartou-se deles a alma dela.
Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
18 Assim descobriu as suas fornicações, e descobriu a sua vergonha: então a minha alma se apartou dela, como já se tinha apartado a minha alma de sua irmã.
But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
19 Porém multiplicou as suas fornicações, lembrando-se dos dias da sua mocidade, em que fornicara na terra do Egito.
But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 E enamorou-se dos seus amantes, cujas carnes são como carnes de jumentos, e cujo fluxo é como o fluxo de cavalos.
There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
21 Assim trouxeste à memória a enormidade da tua mocidade, quando os do Egito apalpavam os teus seios, por causa dos peitos da tua mocidade.
So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
22 Por isso, ó Oholiba, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu suscitarei contra ti os teus amantes, dos quais se tinha apartado a tua alma, e os trarei contra ti de em redor:
“[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
23 Os filhos de Babilônia, e todos os caldeus de Pecod, e de Soa, e de Coa, e todos os filhos da Assyria com eles, mancebos de cobiçar, prefeitos e magistrados todos eles, capitães e homens afamados, todos eles montados a cavalo.
soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
24 E virão contra ti com carros, carretas e rodas, e com ajuntamento de povos; e se porão contra ti em redor com rodelas, e escudos, e capacetes: e porei diante deles o juízo, e julgar-te-ão segundo os teus juízos.
Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
25 E porei contra ti o meu zelo, e usarão de indignação contigo: o nariz e as orelhas te tirarão, e o que te ficar de resto cairá à espada: teus filhos e tuas filhas eles te tomarão, e o que ficar por último em ti será consumido pelo fogo.
Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
26 Também te despirão os teus vestidos, e te tomarão as tuas jóias de enfeite.
They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
27 Assim farei cessar em ti a tua enormidade e a tua fornicação da terra do Egito; e não levantarás os teus olhos para eles, nem te lembrarás mais do Egito.
In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
28 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu te entregarei na mão dos que aborreces, na mão daqueles de quem se tinha apartado a tua alma.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
29 E te tratarão com ódio, e levarão todo o teu trabalho, e te deixarão nua e despida: e descobrir-se-á a vergonha da tua fornicação, e a tua enormidade, e as tuas fornicações.
They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
30 Estas coisas se te farão, porquanto tu fornicaste após os gentios, e porquanto te contaminaste com os seus ídolos.
It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
31 No caminho de tua irmã andaste; por isso te darei o seu copo na tua mão.
You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
32 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Beberás o copo de tua irmã, fundo e largo: servirás de riso e escarneio; ele leva muito.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
33 De embriaguez e de dor te encherás: o copo de tua irmã Samaria é copo de espanto e de assolação.
When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
34 Bebe-lo-ás pois, e esgota-lo-ás, e os seus cacos roerás, e os teus peitos arrancarás; porque eu o falei, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
35 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto te esqueceste de mim, e me lançaste para traz das tuas costas, leva tu pois também a tua enormidade e as tuas fornicações.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
36 E disse-me o Senhor: Filho do homem, porventura julgarias a Ohola e a Oholiba? mostra-lhes pois as suas abominações.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
37 Porque cometeram adultério, e sangue se acha nas suas mãos, e com os seus ídolos cometeram adultério, e até os seus filhos, que me geraram, fizeram passar pelo fogo por si, para os consumir.
[It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
38 E ainda isto me fizeram: contaminaram o meu santuário no mesmo dia, e profanaram os meus sábados.
They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
39 Porque, havendo sacrificado seus filhos aos seus ídolos, vinham ao meu santuário no mesmo dia para o profanarem; e eis que assim fizeram no meio da minha casa.
On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
40 E, o que mais é, enviaram uns homens, que haviam de vir de longe, aos quais fôra enviado um mensageiro, e eis que vieram, por amor dos quais te lavaste, coloriste os teus olhos, e te enfeitaste de enfeites.
They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
41 E te assentaste sobre um leito de honra, diante do qual estava uma mesa preparada: e puseste sobre ela o meu incenso e o meu óleo.
They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
42 Havia com ela a voz de uma multidão satisfeita, e com varões da classe baixa foram trazidos beberrões do deserto; e puseram braceletes nas suas mãos, e corôas de esplendor nas suas cabeças.
Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Então disse à envelhecida em adultérios: Agora deveras fornicarão as suas fornicações, como também ela.
Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
44 E entraram a ela, como quem entra a uma prostituta: assim entraram a Ohola e a Oholiba, mulheres infames.
So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
45 De maneira que homens justos eles as julgarão conforme o juízo das adulteras, e conforme o juízo das que derramam o sangue; porque adulteras são, e sangue há nas suas mãos.
But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
46 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Farei subir contra elas uma congregação, e as entregarei ao desterro e ao roubo.
So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
47 E a congregação as apedrejará com pedras, e as acutilarão com as suas espadas: a seus filhos e a suas filhas matarão, e as suas casas queimarão a fogo.
The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
48 Assim farei cessar a infâmia da terra, para que se escarmentem todas as mulheres, e não façam conforme a vossa infâmia.
In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
49 E a vossa infâmia carregarão sobre vós, e levareis os pecados dos vossos ídolos; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor Jehovah.
[people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
