Ezequiel 34

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A palavra do Senhor foi-me dirigida nestes termos:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
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?	2 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 Vós bebeis o leite, vestis-vos de lã, matais as reses mais gordas e sacrificais, tudo isso sem nutrir o rebanho.	3 You ate the milk, end you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
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.	4 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, por falta de pastor, dispersaram-se minhas ovelhas, e em sua dispersão foram expostas a tornarem-se presa de todas as feras.	5 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 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.	6 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 Pois bem, pastores, escutai a palavra do Senhor:	7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
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,	8 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, escutai, pastores, o que diz o Senhor:	9 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
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.	10 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 Pois eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou tomar eu próprio o cuidado com minhas ovelhas, velarei sobre elas.	11 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.
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.	12 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 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.	13 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 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.	14 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 Sou eu que apascentarei minhas ovelhas, sou eu que as farei repousar - oráculo do Senhor Javé.	15 I will feed my sheep : and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
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.	16 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 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.	17 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 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?	18 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 E minhas ovelhas devem comer o que pisastes e beber o que sujastes?	19 And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
20 Pois bem, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: vou julgar entre ovelha gorda e magra.	20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
21 Porque tendes batido o flanco ou a espádua, e ferido com vossos cornos todas as ovelhas fracas, até lançá-las fora,	21 Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:
22 eu irei em socorro de minhas ovelhas para poupá-las de serem atiradas à pilhagem; e julgarei entre ovelha e ovelha:	22 I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 Para pastoreá-las suscitarei um só pastor, meu servo Davi. Será ele quem as conduzirá à pastagem e lhes servirá de pastor.	23 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 seu Deus, enquanto o meu servo Davi será um príncipe no meio delas. Sou eu, o Senhor, que o declaro.	24 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 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.	25 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 Farei deles e das imediações de minha colina uma bênção; farei cair chuva em tempo oportuno: serão chuvas de bênção.	26 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 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.	27 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 Não mais serão pilhados pelas nações nem devorados pelas feras; habitarão a terra com segurança, sem serem incomodados mais por ninguém.	28 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 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.	29 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 Saberão que sou eu o Senhor, que sou o seu Deus, e que eles, os israelitas, são o meu povo - oráculo do Senhor Javé.	30 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, minhas ovelhas, vós sois homens, o rebanho que apascento. E eu, eu sou o vosso Deus - oráculo do Senhor Javé.	31 And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
