Ezequiel 3
1 Depois me disse: Filho do homem, come o que achares: come este rolo, e vai, fala à casa de Israel.
And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
2 Então abri a minha boca, e me deu a comer o rolo.
And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
3 E disse-me: Filho do homem, dá de comer ao teu ventre, e enche as tuas entranhas deste rolo que eu te dou. Então o comi, e era na minha boca doce como o mel.
And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4 E disse-me: Filho do homem, vai, entra na casa de Israel, e dize-lhe as minhas palavras.
And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5 Porque tu não és enviado a um povo de profunda fala, nem de língua difícil, senão à casa de Israel;
For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6 Nem a muitos povos de profunda fala, e de língua difícil, cujas palavras não possas entender: se eu aos tais te enviara, porventura não te dariam ouvidos.
and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7 Porém a casa de Israel não te quererá dar ouvidos, porque não me querem dar ouvidos a mim; porque toda a casa de Israel é obstinada de testa e dura de coração.
Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8 Eis que fiz duro o teu rosto contra os seus rostos, e forte a tua testa contra a sua testa.
Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 Fiz como diamante a tua testa, mais forte do que a pederneira: não os temas pois, nem te assombres com os seus rostos, porque casa rebelde são.
I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
10 Disse-me mais: Filho do homem, mete no teu coração todas as minhas palavras que te hei de dizer, e ouve-as com os teus ouvidos.
And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
11 Eia pois, vai aos do cativeiro, aos filhos do teu povo, e lhes falarás, e lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir.
And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
12 E levantou-me o espírito, e ouvi por detraz de mim uma voz de grande estrondo, que dizia: bendita seja a glória do Senhor, do seu lugar.
And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
13 E ouvi o sonido das asas dos animais, que tocavam umas nas outras, e o sonido das rodas defronte deles, e o sonido dum grande estrondo.
and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
14 Então o espírito me levantou, e me levou; e eu me fui mui triste, pelo ardor do meu espírito; porém a mão do Senhor era forte sobre mim.
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
15 E vim aos do cativeiro, a Tel-abib, que moravam junto ao rio Chebar, e eu morava onde eles moravam: e morei ali sete dias, pasmado no meio deles.
And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
16 E sucedeu que, ao fim de sete dias, veio a palavra do Senhor a mim, dizendo:
Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Filho do homem: Eu te dei por atalaia sobre a casa de Israel; e tu da minha boca ouvirás a palavra, e os avisarás da minha parte.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
18 Quando eu disser ao ímpio: Certamente morrerás; e tu o não avisares, nem falares para avisar ao ímpio acerca do seu caminho ímpio, para o conservar em vida, aquele ímpio morrerá na sua maldade, mas o seu sangue da tua mão o requererei.
If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
19 Porém, se avisares ao ímpio, e ele não se converter da sua impiedade e do seu caminho ímpio, ele morrerá na sua maldade, e tu livraste a tua alma.
But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
20 Semelhantemente, quando o justo se desviar da sua justiça, e fizer maldade, e eu puser diante dele um tropeço, ele morrerá; porque tu o não avisaste, no seu pecado morrerá, e suas justiças que fizera não virão em memória, mas o seu sangue da tua mão o requererei.
Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
21 Porém, avisando tu ao justo, para que o justo não peque, e ele não pecar, certamente viverá; porque foi avisado; e tu livraste a tua alma.
But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
22 E a mão do Senhor estava sobre mim ali, e me disse: Levanta-te, e sai ao vale, e ali falarei contigo.
And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 E levantei-me, e saí ao vale, e eis que a glória do Senhor estava ali, como a glória que vi junto ao rio Chebar; e caí sobre o meu rosto.
And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
24 Então entrou em mim o espírito, e me pôs sobre os meus pés, e falou comigo, e me disse: Entra, encerra-te dentro da tua casa.
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
25 Porque tu, ó filho do homem, eis que porão cordas sobre ti, e te ligarão com elas: não sairás pois ao meio deles.
And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
26 E eu farei que a tua língua se pegue ao teu paladar, e ficarás mudo, e não lhes servirás de varão que repreenda; porque casa rebelde são eles.
And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
27 Mas, quando eu falar contigo, abrirei a tua boca, e lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor: Quem ouvir ouça, e quem deixar de ouvir, deixe; porque casa rebelde são eles.
But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
