Ezequiel 8

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 No sexto ano, no quinto dia do sexto mês, estava eu sentado em minha casa, com os anciãos de Judá, quando a mão do Senhor baixou sobre mim.	1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
2 Olhei: enxerguei algo como uma silhueta humana. Abaixo do que parecia serem seus rins, era fogo e, desde os rins até o alto, havia um clarão vermelho.	2 And I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance of amber.
3 Estendeu uma espécie de mão, e me agarrou pelos cachos dos cabelos. O espírito levantou-me entre o céu e a terra, e me levou a Jerusalém, em visões divinas, à entrada da porta interior que olha para o norte, lá onde se erige o ídolo que provoca o ciúme {do Senhor}.	3 And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy.
4 Lá se me manifestou a glória do Deus de Israel, tal como a visão que tive no vale.	4 And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I had seen in the plain.
5 E ele me disse: filho do homem, ergue os olhos para o norte. Levantei os olhos para o norte, e vi ao norte da porta do altar, à entrada, o ídolo que provoca o ciúme {do Senhor}.	5 And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north. And I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry.
6 Filho do homem, disse-me, vês tu a abominação que praticam, como eles procedem na casa de Israel, para que eu me afaste do meu santuário? Verás, todavia, coisas muito mais graves.	6 And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations.
7 Conduziu-me até a entrada do adro e, reparando, vi que havia um rombo no muro.	7 And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold a hole in the wall.
8 Filho do homem, disse-me ele, fura a muralha. Quando a furei, divisei uma porta.	8 And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9 Aproxima-te, diz ele, e contempla as horríveis abominações a que se entregam aqui.	9 And he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here.
10 Fui até ali para olhar: enxerguei aí toda espécie de imagens de répteis e de animais imundos e, pintados em volta da parede, todos os ídolos da casa de Israel.	10 And I went in and saw, and behold every form of creeping things, and of living creatures, the abomination, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were painted on the wall all round about.
11 Setenta anciãos da casa de Israel, entre os quais Jazanias, filho de Safã, se achavam de pé diante deles, segurando cada qual o seu turíbulo, do qual se elevava espessa nuvem de fumaça.	11 And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense.
12 Filho do homem, disse-me ele, vês tu o que fazem os anciãos de Israel na obscuridade, cada um deles em sua câmara, guarnecida de ídolos, pensando que o Senhor não os vê, e que ele abandonou a terra?	12 And he add to me: Surely thou seest. O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 E ajuntou: Verás ainda abominações mais graves que eles estão cometendo.	13 And he said to me: If thou turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations which these commit.
14 Conduziu-me, então, para a entrada da porta setentrional da casa do Senhor: mulheres estavam assentadas, chorando Tamuz.	14 And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis.
15 Filho do homem, falou-me, tu viste? Verás ainda abominações piores do que estas.	15 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again: and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16 Levou-me então ao interior do templo. À entrada do santuário do Senhor, entre o vestíbulo e o altar, avistei cerca de vinte e cinco homens, que, de costas para o santuário do Senhor, com a face voltada para o oriente, se prosternavam diante do sol.	16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun.
17 Filho do homem, disse-me ele, vês isto? Não basta à casa de Judá entregar-se a esses ritos abomináveis que aqui se praticam? Haverá ainda ela de encher a terra de violência, e não cessará de me irritar? Ei-los que trazem o ramo ao nariz.	17 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose.
18 Está bem! Eu, de minha parte, procederei com furor, não terei condescendência, serei impiedoso. Inutilmente clamarão a meus ouvidos, não os ouvirei.	18 Therefore I also will deal with them in my wrath: my eye shall not spare them, neither will I shew mercy: and when they shall cry to my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.
