Ezequiel 34
1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize-lhes, aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai dos pastores de Israel, que se apascentam a si mesmos! Por acaso não devem os pastores apascentarem as ovelhas?
Son of man, Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, - Prophesy, and thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
3 Comeis a gordura, e vos vestis da lã; degolais o cevado, [porém] não apascentais as ovelhas.
The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
4 Não fortaleceis as fracas, nem curais a doente; não pondes curativo na que está ferida; não trazeis de volta a desgarrada, e a perdida não buscais; porém dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.
The weak, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
5 Assim se espalharam, porque não há pastor; e se tornaram alimento para toda fera do campo, porque se espalharam.
And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
6 Minhas ovelhas andaram sem rumo por todos os montes, e em todo morro alto; minhas ovelhas foram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, e ninguém há que as procure, ninguém que as busque.
My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
7 Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
8 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor DEUS, que dado que minhas ovelhas foram [entregues] ao saque, e minhas ovelhas serviram de alimento para toda fera do campo, por não haver pastor; e meus pastores não procuram minhas ovelhas, ao invés disso apascentaram a si mesmos, e não apascentam minhas ovelhas,
As I live, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
9 Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
10 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu sou contra os pastores; exigirei deles minhas ovelhas, e farei com que cessem de apascentar as ovelhas; e os pastores não apascentarão mais a si mesmos; pois eu livrarei minhas ovelhas da boca deles, e elas não [mais] lhes servirão de alimento.
Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, procurarei minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
12 Assim como o pastor busca seu rebanho no dia em que está em meio de suas ovelhas espalhadas, assim buscarei minhas ovelhas, e as livrarei de todos os lugares por onde foram espalhadas, no dia de nuvem e de escuridão.
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness;
13 E eu as tirarei dos povos, e as ajuntarei das terras; eu as trarei para sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto às correntes de águas, e em todas as habitações daquela terra.
And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land:
14 Em bons pastos eu as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será sua pastagem; ali se deitarão em boa pastagem, e em prósperos pastos serão apascentadas sobre os montes de Israel.
In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei minhas ovelhas, e eu farei elas se deitarem [em segurança], diz o Senhor DEUS.
I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
16 Eu buscarei a perdida, e trarei de volta a desgarrada; porei curativo na que estiver ferida, e fortalecerei a enferma; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei. Eu as apascentarei com julgamento.
That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
17 E quanto a vós, ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha, entre carneiros e bodes.
And as for you O my flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as the he-goats.
18 Por acaso não vos basta que comais o bom pasto, para terdes que pisotear com vossos pés o resto de vossos pastos? E não vos basta as águas limpas, para sujardes o resto [das águas] com vossos pés?
Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
19 Minhas ovelhas terão de comer o que foi pisoteado por vossos pés, e beber o que foi sujo por vossos pés.
And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
20 Por isso assim lhes diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, julgarei entre a ovelha gorda e a ovelha magra,
Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
21 Porque empurrais com o lado e com o ombro, e com vossos chifres chifrais todas as fracas, até que as espalhais para fora.
Because with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered them abroad
22 Portanto eu salvarei minhas ovelhas, para que nunca mais sirvam de saque; e julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha.
Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
23 E levantarei sobre elas um pastor, e ele as apascentará: a meu servo Davi; ele as apascentará, e ele será o pastor delas.
And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
24 Eu, o SENHOR serei o Deus delas, e meu servo Davi será príncipe no meio delas. Eu, o SENHOR, falei.
And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, have spoken;
25 E farei com elas um pacto de paz, e farei cessar os maus animais da terra; e habitarão no deserto em segurança, e dormirão nos bosques.
And I will solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep in the forests;
26 E farei com que elas e os lugares ao redor de meu monte sejam bênção; e farei descer a chuva em seu tempo; chuvas de bênção serão.
And I, will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;
27 E as árvores do campo darão seu fruto, e a terra dará seu produto, e estarão em segurança sobre sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando quebrar as varas de seu jugo, e as livrar da mão dos que se servem delas.
And the tree of the field shall yield his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
28 E não [mais] servirão de presa às nações, nem as feras da terra as devorarão; pois habitarão em segurança, e não haverá quem [as] espante;
And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.
29 E lhes despertarei uma plantação de renome, e não mais serão consumidos de fome na terra, nem serão mais envergonhadas pelas nações.
And I will raise up unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.
30 Assim saberão que eu, o SENHOR, seu Deus, estou com elas, e elas são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor DEUS.
So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
31 E vós, ovelhas minhas, sois ovelhas humanas do meu pasto; eu sou vosso Deus, diz o Senhor DEUS.
Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
