Ezequiel 34
1 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! porventura os pastores não apascentarão as ovelhas?
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
3 Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolais o cevado; porém não apascentais as ovelhas.
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
4 As fracas não fortalecestes, e a doente não curastes, e a quebrada não ligastes, e a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes: porém dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.
The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
5 Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor, e ficaram para pasto de toda a besta do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
6 As minhas ovelhas andam desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo o alto outeiro; e as minhas ovelhas andam espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem pergunte por elas, sem haver quem as busque.
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
7 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
8 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que, porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues à rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a toda a besta do campo, à falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não perguntam pelas minhas ovelhas, e os pastores se apascentam a si mesmos, e não apascentam as minhas ovelhas;
[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
9 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
— therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
10 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores, e demandarei as minhas ovelhas da sua mão, e os farei cessar de apascentar as ovelhas, e os pastores não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos; e livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua boca, e lhes não servirão mais de pasto.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
12 Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas; e as farei escapar de todos os lugares por onde andam espalhadas, no dia da nuvem e da escuridão.
As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 E as tirarei dos povos, e as congregarei das terras, e as trarei à sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto às correntes, e em todas as habitações da terra.
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
14 Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será a sua malhada; ali se deitarão numa boa malhada, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel.
I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16 A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer, e a quebrada atarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei; apascenta-las-ei com juízo.
I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
17 E quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu julgarei entre gado pequeno e gado pequeno, entre carneiros e bodes.
And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
18 Acaso não vos basta que pastéis o bom pasto, senão que pizeis o resto de vossos pastos a vossos pés? e que bebais as profundas águas, senão que enlameeis o resto com os vossos pés
Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
19 E as minhas ovelhas pastarão o que foi pizado com os vossos pés, e beberão o que tem sido turvado com os vossos pés.
And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20 Por isso o Senhor Jehovah assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, sim, eu, julgarei entre o gado gordo e o gado magro.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21 Porquanto com o lado e com o ombro dais empurrões, e com as vossas pontas escorneais todas as fracas, até que as espalhais para fora,
Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
22 Portanto livrarei as minhas ovelhas, para que não sirvam mais de rapina, e julgarei entre gado miúdo e gado miúdo.
— I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 E levantarei sobre elas um só pastor, e ele as apascentará: meu servo David, este as apascentará, e este lhes servirá de pastor.
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 E eu, o Senhor, lhes serei por Deus, e o meu servo David será príncipe no meio deles: eu, o Senhor, o falei.
And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
25 E farei com eles um concerto de paz, e farei cessar a besta ruim da terra, e habitarão no deserto seguramente, e dormirão nos bosques.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 E a eles, e aos lugares ao redor do meu outeiro, os porei por benção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo: chuvas de benção serão.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
27 E as árvores do campo darão o seu fruto, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguros na sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar as varas do seu jugo e os livrar da mão dos que se serviam deles.
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
28 E não servirão mais de rapina aos gentios, e a besta fera da terra nunca mais os comerá: e habitarão seguramente, e ninguém haverá que os espante.
And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
29 E lhes levantarei uma planta de nome, e nunca mais serão arrebatados da fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opróbrio dos gentios.
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.
30 Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com eles, e que eles são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
31 Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
