Deuteronomy 16
1 “[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
Guarda o mês de Abib, e celebra a pascoa ao Senhor teu Deus: porque no mês de Abib o Senhor teu Deus te tirou do Egito, de noite.
2 [In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
Então sacrificarás a pascoa ao Senhor teu Deus, ovelhas e vacas, no lugar que o Senhor escolher para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.
3 [When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
Nela não comerás levedado: sete dias nela comerás pães asmos, pão de aflição (porquanto apressadamente saíste da terra do Egito), para que te lembres do dia da tua saída da terra do Egito, todos os dias da tua vida.
4 [During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
Levedado não aparecerá contigo por sete dias em todos os teus termos: também da carne que matares à tarde, no primeiro dia, nada ficará até à manhã
5 “To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
Não poderás sacrificar a pascoa em nenhuma das tuas portas que te dá o Senhor teu Deus;
Senão no lugar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus, para fazer habitar o seu nome, ali sacrificarás a pascoa à tarde, ao pôr do sol, ao tempo determinado da tua saída do Egito.
7 Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
Então a cozerás, e comerás no lugar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus; depois virás pela manhã, e irás às tuas tendas
8 Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
Seis dias comerás pães asmos e no sétimo dia é solenidade ao Senhor teu Deus: nenhuma obra farás.
9 “[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
Sete semanas contarás; desde que a foice começar na seara começarás a contar as sete semanas.
10 Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
Depois celebrarás a festa das semanas ao Senhor teu Deus; o que deres será tributo voluntário da tua mão, segundo o Senhor teu Deus te tiver abençoado.
11 [Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
E te alegrarás perante o Senhor teu Deus, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e o teu servo, e a tua serva, e o levita que está dentro das tuas portas, e o estrangeiro, e o órfão, e a viúva, que estão no meio de ti, no lugar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.
12 [“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
E lembrar-te-ás de que foste servo no Egito: e guardarás estes estatutos, e os farás.
13 “[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
A festa dos tabernáculos guardarás sete dias, quando colheres da tua eira e do teu lagar.
14 [Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
E na tua festa te alegrarás, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e o teu servo, e a tua serva, e o levita, e o estrangeiro, e o órfão, e a viúva, que estão das tuas portas para dentro.
15 Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
Sete dias celebrarás a festa ao Senhor teu Deus, no lugar que o Senhor escolher: porque o Senhor teu Deus te há de abençoar em toda a tua colheita, e em toda a obra das tuas mãos; pelo que te alegrarás certamente.
16 “So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
Três vezes no ano todo o macho entre ti aparecerá perante o Senhor teu Deus, no lugar que escolher, na festa dos pães asmos, e na festa das semanas, e na festa dos tabernáculos; porém não aparecerá vazio perante o Senhor:
17 in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
Cada qual, conforme ao dom da sua mão, conforme à benção do Senhor teu Deus, que te tiver dado.
18 “Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
Juízes e oficiais porás em todas as tuas portas que o Senhor teu Deus te der entre as tuas tribos, para que julguem o povo com juízo de justiça.
19 They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
Não torcerás o juízo, não farás acepção de pessoas, nem tomarás peitas; porquanto a peita cega os olhos dos sábios, e perverte as palavras dos justos
20 You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
A justiça, a justiça seguirás; para que vivas, e possuas a terra que te dará o Senhor teu Deus.
21 “When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
Não plantarás nenhum bosque de árvores junto ao altar do Senhor teu Deus, que fizeres para ti,
22 And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
Nem levantarás estátua, a qual aborrece o Senhor teu Deus.
