Ezequiel 8
1 Sucedeu pois, no sexto ano, no mês sexto, no quinto dia do mes, estando eu assentado na minha casa, e os anciãos de Judá assentados diante de mim, que ali a mão do Senhor Jehovah caiu sobre mim.
And it happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
2 E olhei, e eis uma semelhança como aspecto de fogo; desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para baixo, era fogo; e dos seus lombos e daí para cima como aspecto de um resplandor como de cor de âmbar;
And I saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight of amber.
3 E estendeu a forma de uma mão, e me tomou pelos cabelos da minha cabeça; e o espírito me levantou entre a terra e o céu, e me trouxe a Jerusalém em visões de Deus, até à entrada da porta do pátio de dentro, que olha para o norte, onde estava o assento da imagem dos ciúmes, que provoca a ciúmes
And as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
4 E eis que a glória do Deus de Israel estava ali, conforme o aspecto que eu tinha visto no vale.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that I had seen in the plain.
5 E disse-me: Filho do homem, levanta agora os teus olhos para o caminho do norte. E levantei os meus olhos para o caminho do norte, e eis que da banda do norte, à porta do altar, estava esta imagem de ciúmes na entrada.
And he said to me: “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
6 E disse-me: Filho do homem, vês tu o que eles estão fazendo? as grandes abominações que a casa de Israel faz aqui, para que me alongue do meu santuário? porém ainda tornarás a ver maiores abominações.
And he said to me: “Son of man, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
7 E levou-me à porta do átrio: então olhei, e eis que havia um buraco na parede.
And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening in the wall.
8 E disse-me: Filho do homem, cava agora naquela parede. E cavei na parede, e eis que havia uma porta.
And he said to me: “Son of man, dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
9 Então me disse: Entra, e vê as malignas abominações que eles fazem aqui.
And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing here.”
10 E entrei, e olhei, e eis que toda a forma de réptis, e bestas abomináveis, e de todos os ídolos da casa de Israel, estavam pintados na parede em todo o redor.
And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
11 E setenta homens dos anciãos da casa de Israel, com Jaazanias, filho de Saphan, que estava no meio deles, estavam em pé diante deles, e cada um tinha na mão o seu incensário; e subia uma espessa nuvem de incenso.
And there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
12 Então me disse: Viste, porventura, filho do homem, o que os anciãos da casa de Israel fazem nas trevas, cada um nas suas câmaras pintadas de imagens? porque dizem: O Senhor não nos vê; já desamparou o Senhor a terra.
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the earth.’”
13 E disse-me: Ainda tornarás a ver maiores abominações, que estes fazem.
And he said to me: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
14 E levou-me à entrada da porta da casa do Senhor, que está da banda do norte, e eis ali estavam mulheres assentadas chorando a Tammuz.
And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
15 E disse-me: Viste porventura isto, filho do homem? ainda tornarás a ver abominações maiores do que estas.
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations than these.”
16 E levou-me para o átrio interior da casa do Senhor, e eis que estavam à entrada do templo do Senhor, entre o pórtico e o altar, quase vinte e cinco homens, voltadas as costas para o templo do Senhor, e virados os rostos para o oriente; e eles adoravam o sol virados para o oriente.
And he led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of the Sun.
17 Então me disse: Viste isto, filho do homem? há porventura coisa mais leviana para a casa de Judá, do que fazer tais abominações, que fazem aqui? havendo enchido a terra de violência, tornam a irritar-me; porque eis que eles chegam o ramo ao nariz.
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a branch to their nose.
18 Pelo que também eu usarei com eles de furor; o meu olho não poupará, nem me apiedarei: e, ainda que me gritem aos ouvidos com grande voz, contudo não os ouvirei.
Therefore, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
