Ezequiel 36
1 E tu, ó filho do homem, profetiza aos montes de Israel, e dize: Montes de Israel, ouvi a palavra do Senhor.
You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
2 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto diz o inimigo sobre vós: Ah! ah! até as eternas alturas são por nossa herança;
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
3 Portanto, profetiza, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto vos assolaram e devoraram em redor, para que vós ficasseis feitos herança do resto das nações, e estais levantados em lábios do paroleiro, e em infâmia do povo,
Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
4 Portanto, ouvi, ó montes de Israel, a palavra do Senhor Jehovah: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah aos montes e aos outeiros, às correntes e aos vales, aos lugares assolados e solitários, e às cidades desamparadas, que se tornaram em rapina e em escarneio ao resto das nações que lhes estão em redor
Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
5 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Certamente no fogo do meu zelo falei contra o resto das nações, e contra todo o Edom, que se apropriaram da minha terra, com alegria de todo o coração, e com menosprezo da alma, para ser lançada fora à rapina
6 Portanto, profetiza sobre a terra de Israel, e dize aos montes e aos outeiros, às correntes e aos vales: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que falei no meu zelo e no meu furor, porquanto levastes sobre vós o opróbrio dos gentios.
7 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eu levantei a minha mão, para que os gentios que vos estão em redor levem o seu opróbrio sobre si mesmos.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
8 Porém vós, ó montes de Israel, ainda produzireis o vosso ramo, e dareis o vosso fruto para o meu povo de Israel; porque estão para vir
But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
9 Porque eis que eu estou convosco; e eu me virarei para vós, e sereis lavrados e semeados.
I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
10 E multiplicarei os homens sobre vós, a toda a casa de Israel, a toda ela: e as cidades serão habitadas, e as solidões serão edificadas.
I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
11 E multiplicarei homens e bestas sobre vós, e se multiplicarão, e frutificarão: e vos farei habitar como de antes, e o farei melhor que nos vossos princípios; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
12 E farei andar sobre vós uns homens; o meu povo de Israel: eles te possuirão, e serás a sua herança, e nunca mais os desfilharás.
I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
13 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto vos dizem: Tu és uma terra que devora os homens, e és uma terra que desfilha os seus povos;
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
14 Por isso tu não devorarás mais os homens, nem desfilharás mais os teus povos, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
15 E farei que nunca mais se ouça em ti a afronta dos gentios; nem levarás mais sobre ti o opróbrio das gentes nem mais desfilharás a tua nação, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
16 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
17 Filho do homem, quando a casa de Israel habitava na sua terra, então a contaminaram com os seus caminhos e com as suas ações: como a imundícia de uma mulher separada, era o seu caminho perante o meu rosto.
“You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
18 Derramei pois o meu furor sobre eles, por causa do sangue que derramaram sobre a terra, e dos seus ídolos, com que a contaminaram.
So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
19 E os espalhei entre as nações, e foram espalhados pelas terras: conforme os seus caminhos, e conforme os seus tratos, os julguei.
I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
20 E, chegando às nações para onde se foram, profanaram o meu santo nome; porquanto se dizia deles: Estes são o povo do Senhor, e sairam da sua terra.
And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
21 Porém os poupei por amor do meu santo nome, o qual a casa de Israel profanou entre as nações para onde foi.
But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
22 Dize portanto à casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Não é por vosso respeito que eu o faço, ó casa de Israel, porém pelo meu santo nome, que profanaste entre as nações para onde vós fostes.
Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
23 E eu santificarei o meu grande nome, que foi profanado entre as nações, o qual profanastes no meio delas; e as nações saberão que eu sou o Senhor, diz o Senhor Jehovah, quando eu for santificado aos seus olhos
I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
24 E vos tomarei dentre as nações, e vos congregarei de todas as terras, e vos trarei para a vossa terra.
What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
25 Então espalharei água pura sobre vós, e ficareis purificados: de todas as vossas imundicias e de todos os vossos ídolos vos purificarei.
[It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
26 E vos darei um coração novo, e porei dentro de vós um espírito novo; e tirarei o coração de pedra da vossa carne, e vos darei um coração de carne.
I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
27 E porei dentro de vós o meu espírito, e farei que andeis nos meus estatutos, e guardeis os meus juízos, e os façais.
I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
28 E habitareis na terra que eu dei a vossos pais, e vós me sereis por povo, e eu vos serei por Senhor.
You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
29 E vos livrarei de todas as vossas imundicias; e chamarei o trigo, e o multiplicarei, e não trarei fome sobre vós.
I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
30 E multiplicarei o fruto das árvores, e a novidade do campo, para que nunca mais recebais o opróbrio da fome entre as nações.
I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
31 Então vos lembrareis dos vossos maus caminhos, e dos vossos tratos, que não foram bons; e tereis nojo em vós mesmos das vossas maldades e das vossas abominações.
When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
32 Não é por amor de vós que eu faço isto, diz o Senhor Jehovah; notório vos seja: envergonhai-vos, e ficai confusa sobre os vossos caminhos, ó casa de Israel.
But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
33 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: No dia em que eu vos purificar de todas as vossas maldades, então farei com que sejam habitadas as cidades e sejam edificadas as solidões.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
34 E a terra assolada se lavrará, em lugar de ser assolada aos olhos de todos os que passavam.
People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
35 E dirão: Esta terra assolada ficou como jardim do Éden; e as cidades solitárias, e assoladas, e destruídas, estão fortalecidas e habitadas.
They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
36 Então saberão as nações, que ficarem de resto em redor de vós, que eu, o Senhor, reedifico as cidades destruídas, e planto o assolado: eu, o Senhor, o falei, e farei.
When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
37 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ainda por isso serei requerido da casa de Israel, que lho faça: multiplica-los-ei de homens, como a um rebanho.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
38 Como o rebanho santificado, como o rebanho de Jerusalém nas suas solenidades, assim as cidades desertas serão cheias de rebanhos de homens; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
