< Ezequiel 13 >
1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Filho do homem, profetiza contra os profetas de Israel que profetizam; e dize aos que profetizam de seu [próprio] coração: Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR.
“You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!
3 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai dos profetas tolos, que andam atrás de seu [próprio] espírito, e que nada viram!
He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
4 Teus profetas são como raposas nos desertos, ó Israel.
You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
5 Não subistes às brechas, nem restaurastes o muro para a casa de Israel, para estardes na batalha no dia do SENHOR.
Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.
6 Eles veem falsidade e adivinhação de mentira. Falam: O SENHOR disse, mas o SENHOR não os enviou; e [ainda] esperam que a palavra se cumpra.
The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!
7 Por acaso não vedes visão falsa, e não falais adivinhação de mentira, quando dizeis, O SENHOR disse, sem que eu tenha falado?
They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them nothing!”
8 Portanto assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que falais falsidade e vedes mentira, portanto eis que eu sou contra vós, diz o Senhor DEUS.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.
9 E minha mão será contra os profetas que veem falsidade, e adivinham mentira; não estarão na congregação do meu povo, nem estarão inscritos no livro da casa de Israel, nem voltarão para a terra de Israel; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor DEUS.
I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
10 Portanto, por andarem enganando a meu povo, dizendo: Paz, sem que houvesse paz, e [quando] um edifica uma parede, eis que eles a rebocam com cal solta;
They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].
11 Dize aos que rebocam com cal solta, que cairá; haverá uma grande pancada de chuva, e vós ó grandes pedras de granizo, caireis, e um vento tempestuoso [a] fenderá.
So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.
12 E eis que, quando a parede tiver caído, não vos dirão: Onde está a reboco com que rebocastes?
When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”
13 Por isso assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Farei com que rompa um vento tempestuoso em meu furor e haverá uma grande pancada de chuva em minha ira, e grande pedras de granizo em indignação, para destruir.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”
14 E derrubarei a parede que vós rebocastes com cal solta, e a lançarei em terra, e seu fundamento ficará descoberto; assim cairá, e perecereis no meio dela; e sabereis que eu sou o SENHOR.
[The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
15 Assim cumprirei meu furor contra a parede, e contra os que a rebocaram com lodo solto; e vos direi: Já não há a parede, nem os que a rebocavam,
In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”
16 Os profetas de Israel que profetizam sobre Jerusalém, e veem para ela visão de paz, sem que haja paz, diz o Senhor DEUS.
Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.
17 E tu, filho do homem, dirige teu rosto às filhas de teu povo que profetizam de seu [próprio] coração, e profetiza contra elas,
So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
18 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai daquelas que costuram almofadas para todos os pulsos, e fazem lenços sobre as cabeças de todos os tamanhos para caçarem as almas! Por acaso caçareis as almas de meu povo, e guardareis a vossas [próprias] almas em vida?
Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.
19 Vós me profanastes para com meu povo por punhados de cevada e por pedaços de pão, matando as almas que não deviam morrer, e mantendo em vida as almas que não deviam viver, mentindo a meu povo, que escuta a mentira.
You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”
20 Por isso assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu contra vossas almofadas, com que caçais as almas como [se fossem] pássaros; eu as arrancarei de vossos braços, e soltarei as almas, as almas que caçais como pássaros.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.
21 E rasgarei vossos lenços, e livrarei meu povo de vossas mãos, e não mais estarão em vossas mãos para serem caçadas; e sabereis que eu sou o SENHOR.
I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
22 Pois com mentira entristecestes o coração do justo, ao qual eu não lhe causei dor, e fortalecestes as mãos do perverso, para que não se desviasse de seu mau caminho para se manter vivo;
You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.
23 Portanto não mais vereis falsidade, nem mais adivinhareis adivinhação. Mas livrarei meu povo de vossas mãos, e sabereis que eu sou o SENHOR.
Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
