Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
Estes são os estatutos e regulamentos que cuidareis de pôr por obra, na terra que o SENHOR o Deus de teus pais te deu para que a possuas, todos os dias que vós viverdes sobre a terra.
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
Destruireis inteiramente todos os lugares onde as nações que vós herdardes serviram a seus deuses, sobre os montes altos, e sobre as colinas, e debaixo de toda árvore espessa:
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
E derrubareis seus altares, e quebrareis suas imagens, e seus bosques consumireis com fogo: e destruireis as esculturas de seus deuses, e extirpareis o nome delas daquele lugar.
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
Não fareis assim ao SENHOR vosso Deus.
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
Mas o lugar que o SENHOR vosso Deus escolher de todas as vossas tribos, para pôr ali seu nome para sua habitação, esse buscareis, e ali ireis:
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
E ali levareis vossos holocaustos, e vossos sacrifícios, e vossos dízimos, e a oferta elevada de vossas mãos, e vossos votos, e vossas ofertas voluntárias, e os primogênitos de vossas vacas e de vossas ovelhas:
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
E comereis ali diante do SENHOR vosso Deus, e vos alegrareis, vós e vossas famílias, em toda obra de vossas mãos em que o SENHOR teu Deus te houver abençoado.
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
Não fareis como tudo o que nós fazemos aqui agora, cada um o que lhe parece,
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
Porque ainda até agora não entrastes ao repouso e à herança que vos dá o SENHOR vosso Deus.
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
Mas passareis o Jordão, e habitareis na terra que o SENHOR vosso Deus vos faz herdar, e ele vos dará repouso de todos vossos inimigos ao redor, e habitareis seguros.
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
E ao lugar que o SENHOR vosso Deus escolher para fazer habitar nele seu nome, ali levareis todas as coisas que eu vos mando: vossos holocaustos, e vossos sacrifícios, vossos dízimos, e as ofertas elevadas de vossas mãos, e todo o escolhido de vossos votos que houveres prometido ao SENHOR;
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
E vos alegrareis diante do SENHOR vosso Deus, vós, e vossos filhos, e vossas filhas, e vossos servos, e vossas servas, e o levita que estiver em vossas povoações: porquanto não tem parte nem herança convosco.
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
Guarda-te, que não ofereças teus holocaustos em qualquer lugar que vires;
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
Mas no lugar que o SENHOR escolher, em uma de tuas tribos, ali oferecerás teus holocaustos, e ali farás tudo o que eu te mando.
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Contudo, poderás matar e comer carne em todas tuas povoações conforme o desejo de tua alma, segundo a bênção do SENHOR teu Deus que ele te houver dado: o impuro e o limpo a comerá, como a de corço ou de cervo:
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
Salvo que sangue não comereis; sobre a terra o derramareis como água.
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
Nem poderás comer em tuas povoações o dízimo de teu grão, ou de teu vinho, ou de teu azeite, nem os primogênitos de tuas vacas, nem de tuas ovelhas, nem teus votos que prometeres, nem tuas ofertas voluntárias, nem as elevadas ofertas de tuas mãos:
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
Mas diante do SENHOR teu Deus as comerás, no lugar que o SENHOR teu Deus houver escolhido, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e teu servo, e tua serva, e o levita que está em tuas povoações: e te alegrarás diante do SENHOR teu Deus em toda obra de tuas mãos.
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
Tem cuidado de não desamparar ao levita em todos os teus dias sobre tua terra.
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
Quando o SENHOR teu Deus alargar teu termo, como ele te disse, e tu disseres: Comerei carne, porque desejou tua alma comê-la, conforme todo o desejo de tua alma comerás carne.
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
Quando estiver longe de ti o lugar que o SENHOR teu Deus houver escolhido, para pôr ali seu nome, matarás de tuas vacas e de tuas ovelhas, que o SENHOR te houver dado, como te mandei eu, e comerás em tuas portas segundo tudo o que desejar tua alma.
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
O mesmo que se come o corço e o cervo, assim as comerás: o impuro e o limpo comerão também delas.
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
Somente que te esforces a não comer sangue: porque o sangue é a alma; e não hás de comer a alma juntamente com sua carne.
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
Não o comerás: em terra o derramarás como água.
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
Não comerás dele; para que vá bem a ti, e a teus filhos depois de ti, quando fizeres o correto aos olhos do SENHOR.
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
Porém as coisas que tiveres tu consagradas, e teus votos, as tomarás, e virás ao lugar que o SENHOR houver escolhido:
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
E oferecerás teus holocaustos, a carne e o sangue, sobre o altar do SENHOR teu Deus: e o sangue de teus sacrifícios será derramado sobre o altar do SENHOR teu Deus, e comerás a carne.
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
Guarda e escuta todas estas palavras que eu te mando, porque vá bem a ti e a teus filhos depois de ti para sempre, quando fizeres o bom e o correto aos olhos do SENHOR teu Deus.
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
Quando houver devastado diante de ti o SENHOR teu Deus as nações aonde tu vais para possuí-las, e as herdares, e habitares em sua terra,
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
Guarda-te que não tropeces seguindo-as, depois que forem destruídas diante de ti: não perguntes acerca de seus deuses, dizendo: Da maneira que serviam aquelas nações a seus deuses, assim farei eu também.
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
Não farás assim ao SENHOR teu Deus; porque tudo o que o SENHOR aborrece, fizeram eles a seus deuses; pois ainda a seus filhos e filhas queimavam no fogo a seus deuses.
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
Cuidareis de fazer tudo o que eu vos mando: não acrescentarás a isso, nem tirarás disso.
