Ezequiel 9
1 Então me gritou aos ouvidos com grande voz, dizendo: Fazei chegar os intendentes da cidade, cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão.
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 E eis que vinham seis homens caminho da porta alta, que olha para o norte, e cada um com as suas armas destruidoras na mão, e entre eles um homem vestido de linho, com um tinteiro de escrivão à sua cinta; e entraram, e se puseram junto ao altar de bronze.
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink holder by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 E a glória do Deus de Israel se levantou de sobre o cherubim sobre o qual estava, até ao umbral da casa; e clamou ao homem vestido de linho, que tinha o tinteiro de escrivão à sua cinta.
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's ink holder by his side;
4 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Passa pelo meio da cidade, pelo meio de Jerusalém, e marca com um sinal as testas dos homens que suspiram e que gemem por causa de todas as abominações que se cometem no meio dela.
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: passai pela cidade após ele, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçais.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go all of you after him through the city, and strike: let not your eye spare, neither have all of you pity:
6 Matai velhos, mancebos, e virgens, e meninos, e mulheres, até extermina-los; porém a todo o homem que tiver o sinal não vos chegueis; e começai pelo meu santuário. E começaram pelos homens mais velhos que estavam diante da casa
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7 E disse-lhes: contaminai a casa e enchei os átrios de mortos: saí. E sairam, e feriram na cidade.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go all of you forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 Sucedeu pois que, havendo-os ferido, e ficando eu de resto, caí sobre a minha face, e clamei, e disse: Ah! Senhor Jehovah! dar-se-á caso que destruas todo o restante de Israel, derramando a tua indignação sobre Jerusalém?
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Então me disse: A maldade da casa de Israel e de Judá é grandíssima, e a terra se encheu de sangue e a cidade se encheu de perversidade; porque dizem: O Senhor deixou a terra, e o Senhor não vê
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD has forsaken the earth, and the LORD sees not.
10 Pois também, enquanto a mim, não poupará o meu olho, nem me compadecerei: sobre a cabeça deles farei recair o seu caminho.
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11 E eis que o homem que estava vestido de linho, a cuja cinta estava o tinteiro, tornou com a resposta, dizendo: Fiz como me mandaste.
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the ink holder by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
