Ezequiel 21
1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Filho do homem, dirige teu rosto contra Jerusalém, pronuncia contra os santuários, e profetiza contra a terra de Israel;
“You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
3 E dize à terra de Israel: Assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu [sou] contra ti, e tirarei minha espada de sua bainha, e exterminarei de ti o justo e o perverso.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
4 E dado que exterminarei de ti ao justo e o perverso, por isso minha espada sairá de sua bainha contra todos, desde o sul até o norte.
[what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
5 E todos saberão que eu, o SENHOR, tirei minha espada de sua bainha; ela nunca mais voltará.
Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
6 Porém tu, filho do homem, suspira com quebrantamento de lombos, e com amargura; suspira diante dos olhos deles.
Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
7 E será que, quando te disserem: Por que tu suspiras? Então dirás: Por causa da notícia que vêm; e todo coração se dissolverá, todas as mãos se enfraquecerão, todo espírito se angustiará, e todos joelhos se desfarão em águas; eis que já vem, e ela se cumprirá, diz o Senhor DEUS
And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
8 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
9 Filho do homem, profetiza, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dize: A espada, a espada está afiada, e também polida;
“You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
10 Para degolar matança está afiada, para reluzir como relâmpago está polida. Por acaso nos alegraremos? A vara de meu filho despreza toda árvore.
It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
11 E ele a deu para polir, para usar dela com a mão; esta espada está afiada, e esta polida está, para a entregar na mão do matador.
A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
12 Grita e uiva, ó filho do homem; porque esta será contra meu povo, será contra todos os príncipes de Israel. Entregues à de espada são os do meu povo; portanto bate na coxa.
[So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
13 Pois tem que haver provação. E o que seria se a vara que despreza não mais existir? diz o Senhor DEUS.
I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
14 Por isso tu, filho do homem, profetiza, e bate uma mão com outra; por que a espada se dobrará até a terceira vez, a espada dos que forem mortos; esta é espada da grande matança que os cercará,
So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
15 Para que os corações desmaiem, e os tropeços se multipliquem; eu pus a ponta da espada contra todas as suas portas. Ah! Ela feita foi para reluzir, e preparada está para degolar.
In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
16 [Ó espada], move-te; vira-te à direita, prepara-te, vira-te à esquerda, para onde quer que tua face te apontar.
Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
17 E também eu baterei minhas mãos uma com a outra, e farei descansar minha ira. Eu, o SENHOR, falei.
Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
18 E veio a mim a palavra de SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
19 E tu, filho do homem, propõe para ti dois caminhos por onde venha a espada do rei da Babilônia; ambos procederão de uma mesma terra; e põe um marco num lugar, põe um marco no começo do caminho da cidade.
“You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
20 Propõe um caminho, por onde venha a espada contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e contra Judá, contra a fortificada Jerusalém.
[If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
21 Porque o rei de Babilônia parará em uma encruzilhada, no começo de dois caminhos, para usar de adivinhação; ele sacudiu flechas, consultou ídolos, olhou o fígado.
[When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
22 A adivinhação será para a direita, sobre Jerusalém, para ordenar capitães, para abrir a boca à matança, para levantar a voz em grito, para pôr aríetes contra as portas, para levantar cercos, e edificar fortificações.
With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
23 E isto será como uma adivinhação falsa aos olhos daqueles que com juramentos firmaram compromisso com eles; porém ele se lembrará da maldade, para que sejam presos.
The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
24 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que fizestes relembrar vossas maldades, manifestando vossas rebeliões, e revelando vossos pecados em todas vossos atos; por teres feito relembrar, sereis presos com a mão.
Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
25 E tu, profano e perverso príncipe de Israel, cujo dia do tempo do fim da maldade virá,
Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
26 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Tira o turbante, tira a coroa; esta não será a mesma; ao humilde exaltarei, e ao exaltado humilharei.
And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
27 Ruína! Ruína! Ruína a farei; e ela não será [restaurada], até que venha aquele a quem lhe pertence por direito, e [a ele] a darei.
[Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
28 E tu, filho do homem, profetiza, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS sobre os filhos de Amom, e sua humilhação; Dize pois: A espada, a espada está desembainhada, polida para a matança, para destruir, para reluzir como relâmpago,
“And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
29 Enquanto te profetizam falsidade, enquanto te adivinham mentira; para te porem sobre os pescoços dos perversos condenados à morte, cujo dia virá no tempo do fim da maldade.
[Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
30 Torna [tua espada] à sua bainha! No lugar onde foste criado, na terra de teu nascimento eu te julgarei.
You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
31 E derramarei sobre ti minha ira; assoprarei contra ti o fogo do meu furor, e te entregarei na mão de homens violentos, habilidosos em destruir.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
32 Para o fogo tu serás combustível; teu sangue estará no meio da terra; não haverá memória de ti; porque eu, o SENHOR, falei.
You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
