Ezekiel 23

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:	1 A palavra do Senhor foi-me dirigida nestes termos:
2 “Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,	2 Filho do homem: era uma vez duas mulheres, filhas de uma mesma mãe.
3 and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.	3 Elas se prostituíram no Egito e se desonraram ainda jovens. Lá foram apertados os seus peitos, lá foi apalpado o seu seio virginal.
4 Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.	4 A mais velha chamava-se Oolá, e sua irmã Ooliba; pertenceram a mim, e me deram filhos e filhas. {Seus nomes: Oolá é Samaria; Ooliba, Jerusalém.}
5 And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,	5 Oolá foi infiel e tornou-se louca de amores por seus amantes: os assírios, vizinhos dela,
6 who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.	6 vestidos de púrpura, governadores e chefes, jovens sedutores, cavaleiros montados.
7 And she distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.	7 Ela prodigalizou seus encantos a essa elite dos assírios, e, junto de todos esses por quem se achava seduzida, maculou-se com seus ídolos.
8 Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.	8 Não renunciou às suas devassidões do Egito, desde o tempo em que haviam dormido com ela ainda jovem, e acariciando os seus seios virginais, cobrindo-a de torpezas;
9 Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.	9 por isso, entreguei-a a seus amantes, os assírios, por quem ela ansiava;
10 They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.	10 eles descobriram-lhe a nudez, tomaram seus filhos e filhas, e a degolaram a golpes de espada. Foi um exemplo para as mulheres, porque justiça lhe foi feita.
11 And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication of her sister.	11 Sua irmã Ooliba havia sido testemunha disso; ela porém foi piorando em seus amores, e foi ainda mais depravada que sua irmã.
12 She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.	12 Prostituiu-se aos assírios, governadores e chefes, seus vizinhos, esplendidamente vestidos, cavaleiros montados, jovens sedutores.
13 And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.	13 Vi que também ela se desonrava, seguiam ambas o mesmo caminho.
14 And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,	14 Ela, todavia, foi mais longe em suas depravações; quando viu homens desenhados no muro, figuras dos caldeus pintados a vermelho,
15 with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,	15 levando cintos sobre os rins e tiaras na cabeça, todos como grandes senhores, retratos de babilônios saídos da Caldéia,
16 she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.	16 ela se apaixonou por eles ao primeiro olhar, e enviou-lhes mensageiros à Caldéia.
17 And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.	17 E os filhos de Babilônia a ela vieram, para o leito de seus amores; conspurcaram-na com suas devassidões. Apenas foi aviltada, seu coração sentiu ódio deles.
18 Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.	18 Mas, como havia patenteado suas sem-vergonhices e descoberto sua nudez, eu me desgostei dela, como me havia magoado de sua irmã,
19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.	19 porque ela multiplicou os seus desregramentos, lembrando o tempo de sua mocidade, quando ela se desonrava no Egito.
20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow of horses.	20 Ela ardeu ali em amor por luxuriosos, cujo membro era como um membro de asno, e sua lubricidade igual à dos cavalos.
21 And you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.	21 Voltaste às licenciosidades de tua juventude, do tempo em que os egípcios apertavam teus peitos, e afagavam teu seio juvenil;
22 Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:	22 e, devido a isso, Ooliba, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: eu vou excitar contra ti todos os amantes dos quais te desgostaste; vou trazê-los contra ti de todos os lados:
23 the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.	23 os babilônios, e os caldeus, e Pecod, e Choa, e Coa, com eles os assírios jovens e belos, todos os governadores e chefes, guerreiros e cavaleiros montados,
24 And they will overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.	24 que marcharão contra ti com armas, carros e carruagens, e toda uma multidão de povos. Eles levantarão escudos e couraças contra ti de todos os lados; e eu lhes entrego o teu julgamento; procederão de conformidade com as suas leis.
25 And against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.	25 Eu desencadeio meu ciúme contra ti; eles te tratarão com fúria e te cortarão o nariz e as orelhas; os que restarem dos teus perecerão pela espada. Eles tomarão teus filhos e filhas; o resto será devorado pelo fogo,
26 And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.	26 Despojar-te-ão de tuas vestes, levarão tuas jóias.
27 And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember Egypt.	27 Assim porei fim a teus crimes, e a tuas depravações começadas no Egito; não mais levantarás os olhos para eles, não mais te hás de lembrar do Egito.
28 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.	28 Pois eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou entregar-te àqueles que odeias, de quem te desgostaste; eles hão de tratar-te odiosamente.
29 And they will act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.	29 Arrebatarão o fruto do teu trabalho; eles te deixarão nua, descoberta, expondo a vergonha de tuas impudicícias, depravações e prostituições.
30 They have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.	30 Eis o que te sucederá devido às tuas luxúrias com as nações, e tuas depravações com os ídolos.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.	31 Seguiste o mesmo caminho que tua irmã, e devido a isso eu porei o seu cálice em tua mão.
32 Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.	32 Eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: beberás o cálice de tua irmã, cálice largo e profundo, que provocará motejo e riso, tamanha é a sua dimensão.
33 You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.	33 ficarás cheia de embriaguez e de dor: é uma taça de entorpecimento e terror, a taça de tua irmã Samaria.
34 And you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.	34 Bebe-a! Esvazia-a! Morderás até os cacos, e te rasgarão os seios. Sou eu que o digo - oráculo do Senhor Javé.
35 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”	35 Pois, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: porque tu me esqueceste e lançaste atrás das costas, carregarás tu também o peso de tua criminosa prostituição.
36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?	36 Disse-me o Senhor: filho do homem, não vais julgar Oolá e Ooliba, e denunciar-lhes as abominações?
37 For they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.	37 Elas cometeram adultério, há sangue em suas mãos; elas fornicaram com os ídolos; e os filhos a quem deram à luz fizeram-nos passar pelo fogo para queimá-los.
38 But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.	38 Eis ainda o que me fizeram: desonraram o meu santuário e profanaram os meus sábados.
39 And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of my house.	39 No mesmo dia em que imolaram seus filhos a seus ídolos, penetraram em meu santuário para profaná-lo, eis o que fizeram em minha própria casa.
40 They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine ornaments.	40 Fizeram mais. Mandaram buscar homens de terras longínquas, os quais acorreram, logo que receberam a mensagem; para eles, tu te banhaste, pintaste os olhos, puseste os teus adornos.
41 You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.	41 Tu te assentaste sobre um leito aparatoso, em frente ao qual estava preparada uma mesa, onde tu tinhas posto o meu incenso e o meu óleo;
42 And the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.	42 ouvia-se o barulho de uma multidão satisfeita; a essa massa de homens se juntavam os bêbados do deserto, que metiam braceletes nas mãos {das duas irmãs} e coroas esplêndidas em suas cabeças.
43 And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’	43 Então disse eu àquela que envelhecera nos adultérios: Pois ela, também ela, prossegue ainda em suas depravações!
44 And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.	44 Entram pela casa dela como pela de uma prostituta. É assim que freqüentavam Oolá e Ooliba, essas mulheres perdidas!
45 But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.	45 Os justos, porém, vão julgá-las, como se faz com as adúlteras, e com aquelas que derramam sangue, porque são, de fato, adúlteras; suas mãos estão manchadas de sangue.
46 For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.	46 Pois eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: Que suba contra elas uma assembléia! Sejam entregues à exação e à pilhagem!
47 And may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses with fire.	47 Que se reúna o povo para apedrejá-las, e cortá-las em pedaços pela espada. Que se matem seus filhos e suas filhas, e sejam incendiadas suas moradas!
48 And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.	48 Dessa forma, porei termo aos crimes da terra, e todas as mulheres aprenderão a não imitar vossa luxúria.
49 And they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”	49 Recairão sobre vós as vossas devassidões, e carregareis o peso da vossa idolatria. Conhecereis, assim, que sou eu o Senhor Javé.
