Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
E veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers to give the food to the sheep?
Filho do homem, prophetiza contra os pastores de Israel; prophetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! porventura os pastores não apascentarão as ovelhas?
3 You take the milk and are clothed with the wool, you put the fat beasts to death, but you give the sheep no food.
Comeis o gordo, e vos vestis de lã; degolaes o cevado; porém não apascentaes as ovelhas.
4 You have not made the diseased ones strong or made well that which was ill; you have not put bands on the broken or got back that which had been sent away or made search for the wandering ones; and the strong you have been ruling cruelly.
As fracas não fortalecestes, e a doente não curastes, e a quebrada não ligastes, e a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes: porém dominaes sobre ellas com rigor e dureza.
5 And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.
Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor, e ficaram para pasto de toda a besta do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
6 And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them.
As minhas ovelhas andam desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo o alto outeiro; e as minhas ovelhas andam espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem pergunte por ellas, sem haver quem as busque.
7 For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord:
Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
8 By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;
Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que, porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues á rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a toda a besta do campo, á falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não perguntam pelas minhas ovelhas, e os pastores se apascentam a si mesmos, e não apascentam as minhas ovelhas;
9 For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord;
Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
10 This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores, e demandarei as minhas ovelhas da sua mão, e os farei cessar de apascentar as ovelhas, e os pastores não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos; e livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua bocca, e lhes não servirão mais de pasto.
11 For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu, eu digo, perguntarei pelas minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
12 As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.
Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas; e as farei escapar de todos os logares por onde andam espalhadas, no dia da nuvem e da escuridão.
13 And I will take them out from among the peoples, and get them together from the countries, and will take them into their land; and I will give them food on the mountains of Israel by the water-streams and wherever men are living in the country.
E as tirarei dos povos, e as congregarei das terras, e as trarei á sua terra, e as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, junto ás correntes, e em todas as habitações da terra.
14 I will give them good grass-land for their food, and their safe place will be the mountains of the high place of Israel: there they will take their rest in a good place, and on fat grass-land they will take their food on the mountains of Israel.
Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será a sua malhada; ali se deitarão n'uma boa malhada, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel.
15 I myself will give food to my flock, and I will give them rest, says the Lord.
Eu apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
16 I will go in search of that which had gone wandering from the way, and will get back that which had been sent in flight, and will put bands on that which was broken, and give strength to that which was ill: but the fat and the strong I will give up to destruction; I will give them for their food the punishment which is theirs by right.
A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer, e a quebrada atarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; mas a gorda e a forte destruirei; apascental-as-hei com juizo.
17 And as for you, O my flock, says the Lord, truly, I will be judge between sheep and sheep, the he-sheep and the he-goats.
E quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu julgarei entre gado pequeno e gado pequeno, entre carneiros e bodes.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet?
Acaso não vos basta que pasteis o bom pasto, senão que pizeis o resto de vossos pastos a vossos pés? e que bebaes as profundas aguas, senão que enlameeis o resto com os vossos pés
19 And as for my sheep, their food is the grass which has been stamped on by your feet, and their drink the water which has been made dirty by your feet.
E as minhas ovelhas pastarão o que foi pizado com os vossos pés, e beberão o que tem sido turvado com os vossos pés.
20 For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep.
Por isso o Senhor Jehovah assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, sim, eu, julgarei entre o gado gordo e o gado magro.
21 Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;
Porquanto com o lado e com o hombro daes empurrões, e com as vossas pontas escorneaes todas as fracas, até que as espalhaes para fóra,
22 I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.
Portanto livrarei as minhas ovelhas, para que não sirvam mais de rapina, e julgarei entre gado miudo e gado miudo.
23 And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper.
E levantarei sobre ellas um só pastor, e elle as apascentará: meu servo David, este as apascentará, e este lhes servirá de pastor.
24 And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it.
E eu, o Senhor, lhes serei por Deus, e o meu servo David será principe no meio d'elles: eu, o Senhor, o fallei.
25 And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods.
E farei com elles um concerto de paz, e farei cessar a besta ruim da terra, e habitarão no deserto seguramente, e dormirão nos bosques.
26 And I will give the rain at the right time, and I will make the shower come down at the right time; there will be showers of blessing.
E a elles, e aos logares ao redor do meu outeiro, os porei por benção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo: chuvas de benção serão.
27 And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those who made them servants.
E as arvores do campo darão o seu fructo, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguros na sua terra; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar as varas do seu jugo e os livrar da mão dos que se serviam d'elles.
28 And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them.
E não servirão mais de rapina aos gentios, e a besta fera da terra nunca mais os comerá: e habitarão seguramente, e ninguem haverá que os espante.
29 And I will give them planting-places of peace, and they will no longer be wasted from need of food or put to shame by the nations.
E lhes levantarei uma planta de nome, e nunca mais serão arrebatados da fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opprobrio dos gentios.
30 And they will be certain that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the children of Israel, are my people, says the Lord.
Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com elles, e que elles são o meu povo, a casa d'Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
31 And you are my sheep, the sheep of my grass-lands, and I am your God, says the Lord.
Vós pois, ó ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto; homens sois; porém eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
