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.
And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn near; and each had the weapons of destruction 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 high gate that looks toward the north, and each one's axe was in his hand; and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with a long robe down to the feet, and a sapphire girdle was on his loins: and they came in and stood near 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, that was upon them, went up from the cherubs to the porch of the house. And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins;
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 said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them.
5 E aos outros disse a meus ouvidos: passai pela cidade após ele, e feri: não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçais.
And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and strike: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy.
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 man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go you not near any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in 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 to them, Defile the house, and go out and fill the ways with dead bodies, and strike.
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 as they were striking, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! will you destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out your wrath 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 to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Juda is become very exceedingly great: for the land is filled with many nations, and the city is filled with iniquity and uncleanness: because they have said, The Lord has forsaken the earth, The Lord looks not upon [it].
10 Pois também, enquanto a mim, não poupará o meu olho, nem me compadecerei: sobre a cabeça deles farei recair o seu caminho.
Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads.
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 the long robe, and girded with the girdle about his loins, answered and said, I have done as you did command me.
