Pastor de Hermas 63

1Este pastor recebia as ovelhas daquele jovem pastor, aquelas que estavam em deleite e saltando, mas não eram corruptas; e ele as lançava em um lugar íngreme, cheio de espinhos e abrolhos, de modo que as ovelhas não podiam se desembaraçar dos espinhos e abrolhos, mas ficavam emaranhadas neles.

1This shepherd received the sheep from that young shepherd, those who were in delight and leaping, but were not corrupt; and he cast them into a steep place, full of thorns and thistles, so that the sheep could not disentangle themselves from the thorns and thistles, but became entangled in them.

2E assim elas ficavam apascentando-se entre os espinhos e abrolhos, e estavam em grande miséria, sendo chicoteadas por ele; e ele as acossava de um lado para o outro, e não lhes dava descanso; e de modo algum aquelas ovelhas estavam confortáveis.

2And so they were feeding among the thorns and thistles, and were in great misery, being whipped by him; and he drove them from one side to the other, and gave them no rest; and by no means were those sheep comfortable.
