< Ezequiel 23 >

1 Veiu mais a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
2 Filho do homem, houve duas mulheres, filhas de uma mãe.
"Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3 Estas fornicaram no Egypto; na sua mocidade fornicaram; ali foram apertados os seus peitos, e ali foram apalpados os seios da sua virgindade.
and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4 E os seus nomes eram: Ohola, a mais velha, e Oholiba, sua irmã; e foram minhas, e pariram filhos e filhas; e, quanto aos seus nomes, Samaria é Ohola, e Jerusalem é Oholiba.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 E fornicou Ohola, sendo minha; e enamorou-se dos seus amantes, dos assyrios, seus visinhos,
"Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 Vestidos de azul, prefeitos e magistrados, todos mancebos de cobiçar, cavalleiros montados a cavallo.
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7 Assim commetteu ella as suas fornicações com elles, os quaes todos eram a flôr dos filhos da Assyria, e com todos os de quem se enamorava; com todos os seus idolos se contaminou.
She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 E as suas fornicações, que trouxe do Egypto, não as deixou; porque com ella se deitaram na sua mocidade, e elles apalparam os seios da sua virgindade, e derramaram sobre ella a sua fornicação.
Neither has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 Portanto a entreguei na mão dos seus amantes, na mão dos filhos da Assyria, de quem se enamorara.
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10 Estes descobriram a sua vergonha, levaram seus filhos e suas filhas, mas a ella mataram á espada; e foi afamada entre as mulheres, e n'ella exerceram os juizos.
These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 O que vendo sua irmã Oholiba, corrompeu o seu amor mais do que ella, e as suas fornicações mais do que as fornicações de sua irmã
"Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.
12 Enamorou-se dos filhos da Assyria, dos prefeitos e dos magistrados seus visinhos, vestidos com primor, cavalleiros que andam montados em cavallos, todos mancebos de cobiçar.
She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 E vi que se tinha contaminado; que o caminho de ambas era o mesmo.
I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
14 E augmentou as suas fornicações, porque viu homens pintados na parede, imagens dos chaldeos, pintadas de vermelho;
She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 Cingidos de cinto nos seus lombos, e tiaras largas tingidas nas suas cabeças, todos de parecer de capitães, á similhança dos filhos de Babylonia em Chaldea, terra do seu nascimento.
wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 E se enamorou d'elles, vendo-os com os seus olhos: e lhes mandou mensageiros a Chaldea.
As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Então vieram a ella os filhos de Babylonia para a cama dos amores, e a contaminaram com as suas fornicações: e ella se contaminou com elles; então apartou-se d'elles a alma d'ella.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Assim descobriu as suas fornicações, e descobriu a sua vergonha: então a minha alma se apartou d'ella, como já se tinha apartado a minha alma de sua irmã.
So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Porém multiplicou as suas fornicações, lembrando-se dos dias da sua mocidade, em que fornicara na terra do Egypto.
Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20 E enamorou-se dos seus amantes, cujas carnes são como carnes de jumentos, e cujo fluxo é como o fluxo de cavallos.
She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Assim trouxeste á memoria a enormidade da tua mocidade, quando os do Egypto apalpavam os teus seios, por causa dos peitos da tua mocidade.
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
22 Por isso, ó Oholiba, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu suscitarei contra ti os teus amantes, dos quaes se tinha apartado a tua alma, e os trarei contra ti de em redor:
"Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the LORD: 'Look, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23 Os filhos de Babylonia, e todos os chaldeos de Pecod, e de Soa, e de Coa, e todos os filhos da Assyria com elles, mancebos de cobiçar, prefeitos e magistrados todos elles, capitães e homens afamados, todos elles montados a cavallo.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24 E virão contra ti com carros, carretas e rodas, e com ajuntamento de povos; e se porão contra ti em redor com rodelas, e escudos, e capacetes: e porei diante d'elles o juizo, e julgar-te-hão segundo os teus juizos.
And they shall come against you armed with chariots, and wagons, and with a huge army; they shall come against you on every side with large shields and small shields and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards.
25 E porei contra ti o meu zelo, e usarão de indignação comtigo: o nariz e as orelhas te tirarão, e o que te ficar de resto cairá á espada: teus filhos e tuas filhas elles te tomarão, e o que ficar por ultimo em ti será consumido pelo fogo.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Tambem te despirão os teus vestidos, e te tomarão as tuas joias de enfeite.
They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
27 Assim farei cessar em ti a tua enormidade e a tua fornicação da terra do Egypto; e não levantarás os teus olhos para elles, nem te lembrarás mais do Egypto.
Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu te entregarei na mão dos que aborreces, na mão d'aquelles de quem se tinha apartado a tua alma.
"'For thus says the LORD: Look, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;
29 E te tratarão com odio, e levarão todo o teu trabalho, e te deixarão nua e despida: e descobrir-se-ha a vergonha da tua fornicação, e a tua enormidade, e as tuas fornicações.
and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
30 Estas coisas se te farão, porquanto tu fornicaste após os gentios, e porquanto te contaminaste com os seus idolos.
These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 No caminho de tua irmã andaste; por isso te darei o seu copo na tua mão.
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'
32 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Beberás o copo de tua irmã, fundo e largo: servirás de riso e escarneo; elle leva muito.
"Thus says the LORD: 'You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.
33 De embriaguez e de dôr te encherás: o copo de tua irmã Samaria é copo de espanto e de assolação.
You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Bebel-o-has pois, e esgotal-o-has, e os seus cacos roerás, e os teus peitos arrancarás; porque eu o fallei, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,' says the LORD.
35 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto te esqueceste de mim, e me lançaste para traz das tuas costas, leva tu pois tambem a tua enormidade e as tuas fornicações.
"Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.'"
36 E disse-me o Senhor: Filho do homem, porventura julgarias a Ohola e a Oholiba? mostra-lhes pois as suas abominações.
The LORD said moreover to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 Porque commetteram adulterio, e sangue se acha nas suas mãos, e com os seus idolos commetteram adulterio, e até os seus filhos, que me geraram, fizeram passar pelo fogo por si, para os consumir.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
38 E ainda isto me fizeram: contaminaram o meu sanctuario no mesmo dia, e profanaram os meus sabbados.
Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
39 Porque, havendo sacrificado seus filhos aos seus idolos, vinham ao meu sanctuario no mesmo dia para o profanarem; e eis que assim fizeram no meio da minha casa.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and look, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
40 E, o que mais é, enviaram uns homens, que haviam de vir de longe, aos quaes fôra enviado um mensageiro, e eis que vieram, por amor dos quaes te lavaste, coloriste os teus olhos, e te enfeitaste de enfeites.
"'Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,
41 E te assentaste sobre um leito de honra, diante do qual estava uma mesa preparada: e pozeste sobre ella o meu incenso e o meu oleo.
and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.'
42 Havia com ella a voz de uma multidão satisfeita, e com varões da classe baixa foram trazidos beberrões do deserto; e pozeram braceletes nas suas mãos, e corôas de esplendor nas suas cabeças.
The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Então disse á envelhecida em adulterios: Agora devéras fornicarão as suas fornicações, como tambem ella.
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, 'Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.'
44 E entraram a ella, como quem entra a uma prostituta: assim entraram a Ohola e a Oholiba, mulheres infames.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 De maneira que homens justos elles as julgarão conforme o juizo das adulteras, e conforme o juizo das que derramam o sangue; porque adulteras são, e sangue ha nas suas mãos.
Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Farei subir contra ellas uma congregação, e as entregarei ao desterro e ao roubo.
"For thus says the LORD: 'I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 E a congregação as apedrejará com pedras, e as acutilarão com as suas espadas: a seus filhos e a suas filhas matarão, e as suas casas queimarão a fogo.
The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 Assim farei cessar a infamia da terra, para que se escarmentem todas as mulheres, e não façam conforme a vossa infamia.
'Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 E a vossa infamia carregarão sobre vós, e levareis os peccados dos vossos idolos; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor Jehovah.
They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
