Ezekiel 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”	1 Filho do homem, dizia-me, fica de pé, porque eu te falo!
2 And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,	2 Enquanto ela me falava, entrou o espírito em mim, e me fez ficar de pé; então ouvi aquele que me falava.
3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.	3 Filho do homem, dizia-me, envio-te aos israelitas, a essa nação de rebeldes, revoltada contra mim, a qual, do mesmo modo que seus pais, vem pecando contra mim até este dia.
4 And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’	4 É a esses filhos de testa dura e de coração insensível que te envio, para lhes dizer: oráculo do Senhor Javé.
5 Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.	5 Quer te ouçam ou não {pois é uma raça indomável}, hão de ficar sabendo que há um profeta no meio deles!
6 But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.	6 Quanto a ti, filho do homem, não os temas, nem te arreceies dos seus intentos, conquanto estejas entre moitas de abrolhos e de espinhos e vivas entre escorpiões; não te deixes intimidar por suas palavras, nem te espantes com sua atitude, porque é uma raça rebelde.
7 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.	7 Tu lhes transmitirás os meus oráculos, quer te dêem ouvidos ou não; é uma raça pertinaz.
8 But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”	8 E tu, filho do homem, escuta o que eu te digo: não sejas rebelde, como essa raça de rebelados. Abre a boca e come o que te vou dar.
9 And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it. And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.	9 Olhei e vi avançando para mim uma mão, que segurava um manuscrito enrolado,
	10 que foi desdobrado diante de mim: estava coberto com escrita de um e de outro lado: eram cânticos de luto, de queixumes e de gemidos.
