Ezequiel 34
1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to 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 concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the hocks be fed by the shepherds?
3 Comeis a gordura, e vos vestis da lã; degolais o cevado, [porém] não apascentais as ovelhas.
You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
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 you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.
5 Assim se espalharam, porque não há pastor; e se tornaram alimento para toda fera do campo, porque se espalharam.
And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were 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 have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks mere scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.
7 Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
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, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:
9 Por isso, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
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 the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my hock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.
11 Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, procurarei minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.
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 the shepherd visiteth his hock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
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 the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations 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.
I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.
15 Eu apascentarei minhas ovelhas, e eu farei elas se deitarem [em segurança], diz o Senhor DEUS.
I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
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.
I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment.
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 flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of 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?
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.
19 Minhas ovelhas terão de comer o que foi pisoteado por vossos pés, e beber o que foi sujo por vossos pés.
And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
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 the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
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 you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:
22 Portanto eu salvarei minhas ovelhas, para que nunca mais sirvam de saque; e julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha.
I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
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 SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 Eu, o SENHOR serei o Deus delas, e meu servo Davi será príncipe no meio delas. Eu, o SENHOR, falei.
And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.
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 make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure 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 a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
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 its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.
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 more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any 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 for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.
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.
And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.
31 E vós, ovelhas minhas, sois ovelhas humanas do meu pasto; eu sou vosso Deus, diz o Senhor DEUS.
And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
