Chapter 34

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:   

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

Filho do homem, profetiza contra os pastores de Israel; profetiza, e dize aos pastores: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ai dos pastores de Israel que se apascentam a si mesmos! Não devem os pastores apascentar as ovelhas?   

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

Comeis a gordura, e vos vestis da lã; matais o cevado; mas não apascentais as ovelhas.   

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

A fraca não fortalecestes, a doente não curastes, a quebrada não ligastes, a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes; mas dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.   

And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor; e tornaram-se pasto a todas as feras do campo, porquanto se espalharam.   

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

As minhas ovelhas andaram desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo alto outeiro; sim, as minhas ovelhas andaram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem as procurasse, ou as buscasse.   

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:   

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Deus, que porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues à rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a todas as feras do campo, por falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não procuraram as minhas ovelhas, pois se apascentaram a si mesmos, e não apascentaram as minhas ovelhas;   

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:   

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu estou contra os pastores; das suas mãos requererei as minhas ovelhas, e farei que eles deixem de apascentar as ovelhas, de sorte que não se apascentarão mais a si mesmos. Livrarei as minhas ovelhas da sua boca, para que não lhes sirvam mais de pasto.   

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

Porque assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, procurarei as minhas ovelhas, e as buscarei.   

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

Como o pastor busca o seu rebanho, no dia em que está no meio das suas ovelhas dispersas, assim buscarei as minhas ovelhas. Livrá-las-ei de todos os lugares por onde foram espalhadas, no dia de nuvens e de escuridão.   

And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

Sim, tirá-las-ei para fora dos povos, e as congregarei dos países, e as introduzirei na sua terra, e as apascentarei sobre os montes de Israel, junto às correntes d`água, e em todos os lugares habitados da terra.   

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

Em bons pastos as apascentarei, e nos altos montes de Israel será o seu curral; deitar-se-ão ali num bom curral, e pastarão em pastos gordos nos montes de Israel.   

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

Eu mesmo apascentarei as minhas ovelhas, e eu as farei repousar, diz o Senhor Deus.   

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

A perdida buscarei, e a desgarrada tornarei a trazer; a quebrada ligarei, e a enferma fortalecerei; e a gorda e a forte vigiarei. Apascentá-las-ei com justiça.   

And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

Quanto a vós, ó ovelhas minhas, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu julgarei entre ovelhas e ovelhas, entre carneiros e bodes.   

Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

Acaso não vos basta fartar-vos do bom pasto, senão que pisais o resto de vossos pastos aos vossos pés? e beber as águas limpas, senão que sujais o resto com os vossos pés?   

And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

E as minhas ovelhas hão de comer o que haveis pisado, e beber o que haveis sujado com os vossos pés.   

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

Por isso o Senhor Deus assim lhes diz: Eis que eu, eu mesmo, julgarei entre a ovelha gorda e a ovelha magra.   

Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

Porquanto com o lado e com o ombro dais empurrões, e com as vossas pontas escorneais todas as fracas, até que as espalhais para fora,   

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

portanto salvarei as minhas ovelhas, e não servirão mais de presa; e julgarei entre ovelhas e ovelhas.   

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.

E suscitarei sobre elas um só pastor para as apascentar, o meu servo Davi. Ele as apascentará, e lhes servirá de pastor.   

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

E eu, o Senhor, serei o seu Deus, e o meu servo Davi será príncipe no meio delas; eu, o Senhor, o disse.   

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

Farei com elas um pacto de paz; e removerei da terra os animais ruins, de sorte que elas habitarão em segurança no deserto, e dormirão nos bosques.   

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

E delas e dos lugares ao redor do meu outeiro farei uma bênção; e farei descer a chuva a seu tempo; chuvas de bênçãos serão.   

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

E as árvores do campo darão o seu fruto, e a terra dará a sua novidade, e estarão seguras na sua terra; saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu quebrar os canzis do seu jugo e as livrar da mão dos que se serviam delas.   

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

Pois não servirão mais de presa aos gentios, nem as devorarão mais os animais da terra; mas habitarão seguramente, e ninguém haverá que as espante.   

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

Também lhes levantarei uma plantação de renome, e nunca mais serão consumidas pela fome na terra, nem mais levarão sobre si o opróbrio das nações.   

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.

Saberão, porém, que eu, o Senhor seu Deus, estou com elas, e que elas são o meu povo, a casa de Israel, diz o Senhor Deus.   

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.

Vós, ovelhas minhas, ovelhas do meu pasto, sois homens, e eu sou o vosso Deus, diz o Senhor Deus.
