Ezequiel 34
1 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the LORD came to 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 to them, Thus says the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3 Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolais o cevado; porém não apascentais as ovelhas.
You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are fed: but you 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 diseased have you not strengthened, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you ruled 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 is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they 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 on every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
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, says the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
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 says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
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 seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where 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 people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them on the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited 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 on the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord GOD.
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 that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was 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, O my flock, thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, 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
Seems it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue 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 as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you 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 says the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
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 you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you 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.
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
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 the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD 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 the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely 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 his 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 her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
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 heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, 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 shame of the heathen 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.
Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.
31 Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
And you my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord GOD.
