Ezekiel 34

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, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?	2 filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; dize-lhes, a esses pastores, este oráculo: eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: ai dos pastores de Israel que só cuidam do seu próprio pasto. Não é seu rebanho que devem pastorear os pastores?
3 You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.	3 Vós bebeis o leite, vestis-vos de lã, matais as reses mais gordas e sacrificais, tudo isso sem nutrir o rebanho.
4 What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.	4 Vós não fortaleceis as ovelhas fracas; a doente, não a tratais; a ferida, não a curais; a transviada, não a reconduzis; a perdida, não a procurais; a todas tratais com violência e dureza.
5 And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.	5 Assim, por falta de pastor, dispersaram-se minhas ovelhas, e em sua dispersão foram expostas a tornarem-se presa de todas as feras.
6 My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.	6 Minhas ovelhas vagueiam em toda parte sobre a montanha e sobre as colinas, elas se acham espalhadas sobre toda a superfície da terra, sem que ninguém cuide delas ou se ponha a procurá-las.
7 Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:	7 Pois bem, pastores, escutai a palavra do Senhor:
8 As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:	8 por minha vida - oráculo do Senhor Javé -, já que por falta de pastor foram minhas ovelhas entregues à pilhagem, e serviram de pasto às feras, pois os meus pastores não têm o mínimo cuidado com elas, e que, em vez de pastoreá-las, só têm procurado se fartar eles próprios,
9 because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:	9 por isso, escutai, pastores, o que diz o Senhor:
10 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.	10 Eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou castigar esses pastores, vou reclamar deles as minhas ovelhas, vou tirar deles a guarda do rebanho, de modo que não mais possam fartar a si mesmos; arrancarei minhas ovelhas da sua goela, de modo que não mais poderá devorá-las.
11 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.	11 Pois eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou tomar eu próprio o cuidado com minhas ovelhas, velarei sobre elas.
12 Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.	12 Como o pastor se inquieta por causa de seu rebanho, quando se acha no meio de suas ovelhas tresmalhadas, assim me inquietarei por causa do meu; eu o reconduzirei de todos os lugares por onde tinha sido disperso num dia de nuvens e de trevas.
13 And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.	13 Eu as recolherei dentre os povos e as reunirei de diversos países, para reconduzi-las ao seu próprio solo e fazê-las pastar nos montes de Israel, nos vales e nos lugares habitados da região.
14 I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.	14 Eu as apascentarei em boas pastagens, elas serão levadas a gordos campos sobre as montanhas de Israel; elas repousarão sobre as verdes relvas, terão sobre os montes de Israel abundantes pastagens.
15 I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.	15 Sou eu que apascentarei minhas ovelhas, sou eu que as farei repousar - oráculo do Senhor Javé.
16 I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.	16 A ovelha perdida eu a procurarei; a desgarrada, eu a reconduzirei; a ferida, eu a curarei; a doente, eu a restabelecerei, e velarei sobre a que estiver gorda e vigorosa. Apascentá-las-ei todas com justiça.
17 But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.	17 Quanto a vós, minhas ovelhas, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou julgar entre ovelha e ovelha, vou julgar os carneiros e os bodes.
18 Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.	18 Não vos bastava pastorear numa excelente pastagem, para que calqueis ainda aos pés o resto do prado? Não vos bastava beber as águas límpidas, para que calqueis ainda o resto com os pés?
19 And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.	19 E minhas ovelhas devem comer o que pisastes e beber o que sujastes?
20 Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.	20 Pois bem, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou julgar entre ovelha gorda e magra.
21 For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.	21 Porque tendes batido o flanco ou a espádua, e ferido com vossos cornos todas as ovelhas fracas, até lançá-las fora,
22 I will save my flock, and it will be no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.	22 eu irei em socorro de minhas ovelhas para poupá-las de serem atiradas à pilhagem; e julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha:
23 And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.	23 Para pastoreá-las suscitarei um só pastor, meu servo Davi. Será ele quem as conduzirá à pastagem e lhes servirá de pastor.
24 And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.	24 Eu, o Senhor, serei seu Deus, enquanto o meu servo Davi será um príncipe no meio delas. Sou eu, o Senhor, que o declaro.
25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.	25 Eu concluirei com elas um tratado de paz; suprimirei as feras de sua terra, de sorte que possam habitar o deserto com segurança e dormir nos bosques.
26 And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.	26 Farei deles e das imediações de minha colina uma bênção; farei cair chuva em tempo oportuno: serão chuvas de bênção.
27 And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.	27 As árvores dos bosques darão seus frutos e a terra dará o seu produto. Viverão com segurança na terra. Quando eu tiver rompido as cadeias de seu jugo, e os houver livrado das mãos de seus tiranos, eles saberão que sou eu o Senhor.
28 And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.	28 Não mais serão pilhados pelas nações nem devorados pelas feras; habitarão a terra com segurança, sem serem incomodados mais por ninguém.
29 And I will raise up for them a renown branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.	29 Farei crescer para eles uma vegetação luxuriante, que constituirá o seu orgulho. Não haverá mais fome devoradora na terra; não mais sofrerão os insultos das nações.
30 And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.	30 Saberão que sou eu o Senhor, que sou o seu Deus, e que eles, os israelitas, são o meu povo - oráculo do Senhor Javé.
31 For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”	31 E vós, minhas ovelhas, vós sois homens, o rebanho que apascento. E eu, eu sou o vosso Deus - oráculo do Senhor Javé.
