Deuteronomy 8
1 Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.
Cuidareis de pôr por obra todo mandamento que eu vos ordeno hoje, para que vivais, e sejais multiplicados, e entreis, e possuais a terra, da qual jurou o SENHOR a vossos pais.
2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.
E te lembrarás de todo o caminho por onde te trouxe o SENHOR teu Deus estes quarenta anos no deserto, para afligir-te, para provar-te, para saber o que estava em teu coração, se havias de guardar ou não seus mandamentos.
3 And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.
E te afligiu, e te fez ter fome, e te sustentou com maná, comida que não conhecias tu, nem teus pais a conheciam; para fazer-te saber que o homem não viverá de só pão, mas de tudo o que sai da boca do SENHOR viverá o homem.
4 Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.
Tua roupa nunca se envelheceu sobre ti, nem o pé se te inchou por estes quarenta anos.
5 Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.
Reconhece assim em teu coração, que como castiga o homem a seu filho, assim o SENHOR teu Deus te castiga.
6 Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.
Guardarás, pois, os mandamentos do SENHOR teu Deus, andando em seus caminhos, e temendo-o.
7 For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;
Porque o SENHOR teu Deus te introduz na boa terra, terra de ribeiros, de águas, de fontes, de mananciais que brotam por planícies e montes;
8 A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;
Terra de trigo e cevada, e de videiras, e figueiras, e romeiras; terra de olivas, de azeite, e de mel;
9 Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.
Terra na qual não comerás o pão com escassez, não te faltará nada nela; terra que suas pedras são ferro, e de seus montes cortarás bronze.
10 And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
E comerás e te fartarás, e bendirás ao SENHOR teu Deus pela boa terra que te haverá dado.
11 Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:
Guarda-te, que não te esqueças do SENHOR teu Deus, para não observar seus mandamentos, e seus regulamentos, e seus estatutos, que eu te ordeno hoje:
12 And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;
Para que não aconteça talvez que comas e te fartes, e edifiques boas casas em que mores,
13 And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;
E tuas vacas e tuas ovelhas se aumentem, e a prata e o ouro se te multiplique, e tudo o que tiveres se te aumente,
14 Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;
E se eleve logo teu coração, e te esqueças do SENHOR teu Deus, que te tirou da terra do Egito, de casa de servos;
15 Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;
Que te fez caminhar por um deserto grande e espantoso, de serpentes ardentes, e de escorpiões, e de sede, onde nenhuma água havia, e ele te tirou água da rocha de pederneiras;
16 Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;
Que te sustentou com maná no deserto, comida que teus pais não conheciam, afligindo-te e provando-te, para ao fim fazer-te bem;
17 Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.
E digas em teu coração: Meu poder e a força de minha mão me trouxeram esta riqueza.
18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.
Antes lembra-te do SENHOR teu Deus: porque ele te dá o poder para fazer as riquezas, a fim de confirmar seu pacto que jurou a teus pais, como neste dia.
19 And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.
Mas será, se chegares a esquecer-te do SENHOR teu Deus, e andares atrás de deuses alheios, e lhes servires, e a eles te encurvares, atesto-o hoje contra vós, que certamente perecereis.
20 Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
Como as nações que o SENHOR destruirá diante de vós, assim perecereis; porquanto não havereis atendido à voz do SENHOR vosso Deus.
