Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
E foi Moisés, e falou estas palavras a todo Israel,
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
E disse-lhes: De idade de cento e vinte anos sou hoje dia; não posso mais sair nem entrar: a mais disto o SENHOR me disse: Não passarás este Jordão.
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
O SENHOR teu Deus, ele passa diante de ti; ele destruirá estas nações de diante de ti, e as herdarás: Josué será o que passará diante de ti, como o SENHOR disse.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
E fará o SENHOR com eles como fez com Seom e com Ogue, reis dos amorreus, e com sua terra, que os destruiu.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
E os entregará o SENHOR diante de vós, e fareis com eles conforme tudo o que vos mandei.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
Esforçai-vos e tende ânimo; não temais, nem tenhais medo deles: que o SENHOR teu Deus é o que vai contigo: não te deixará nem te desamparará.
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
E chamou Moisés a Josué, e disse-lhe à vista de todo Israel: Esforça-te e anima-te; porque tu entrarás com este povo à terra que jurou o SENHOR a seus pais que lhes havia de dar, e tu a farás herdar.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
E o SENHOR é o que vai diante de ti; ele será contigo, não te deixará, nem te desamparará; não temas, nem te intimides.
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
E escreveu Moisés esta lei, e deu-a aos sacerdotes, filhos de Levi, que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR, e a todos os anciãos de Israel.
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
E mandou-lhes Moisés, dizendo: Ao fim do sétimo ano, no ano da remissão, na festa das cabanas,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
Quando vier todo Israel a apresentar-se diante do SENHOR teu Deus no lugar que ele escolher, lerás esta lei diante de todo Israel aos ouvidos deles.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
Farás congregar o povo, homens e mulheres e crianças, e teus estrangeiros que estiverem em tuas cidades, para que ouçam e aprendam, e temam ao SENHOR vosso Deus, e cuidem de praticar todas as palavras desta lei:
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
E os filhos deles que não souberem ouçam, e aprendam a temer ao SENHOR vosso Deus todos os dias que viverdes sobre a terra, para ir à qual passais o Jordão para possuí-la.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Eis que se aproximam teus dias para que morras: chama a Josué, e esperai no tabernáculo do testemunho, e lhe mandarei. Foram pois Moisés e Josué, e esperaram no tabernáculo do testemunho.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
E apareceu-se o SENHOR no tabernáculo, na coluna de nuvem; e a coluna de nuvem se pôs sobre a porta do tabernáculo.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Eis que tu vais descansar com teus pais, e este povo se levantará e se prostituirá atrás dos deuses alheios da terra aonde vai, em estando em meio dela; e me deixará, e invalidará meu pacto que estabeleci com ele:
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
E meu furor se acenderá contra ele naquele dia; e os abandonarei, e esconderei deles meu rosto, e serão consumidos; e o acharão muitos males e angústias, e dirá naquele dia: Não me acharam estes males porque não está meu Deus em meio de mim?
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
Porém eu esconderei certamente meu rosto naquele dia, por todo o mal que eles houverem feito, por haver-se voltado a deuses alheios.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
Agora, pois, escrevei-vos este cântico, e ensina-o aos filhos de Israel: põe-o em boca deles, para que este cântico me seja por testemunha contra os filhos de Israel.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
Porque eu lhe introduzirei na terra que jurei a seus pais, a qual flui leite e mel; e comerá, e se fartará, e se engordará: e se voltarão a deuses alheios, e lhes servirão, e me provocarão à ira, e invalidarão meu pacto.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
E será que quando lhe vierem muitos males e angústias, então responderá em sua face este cântico como testemunha, pois não cairá em esquecimento da boca de sua linhagem: porque eu conheço seu intento, e o que faz hoje antes que lhe introduza na terra que jurei.
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
E Moisés escreveu este cântico aquele dia, e ensinou-o aos filhos de Israel.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
E deu ordem a Josué filho de Num, e disse: Esforça-te e anima-te, que tu porás os filhos de Israel na terra que lhes jurei, e eu serei contigo.
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
E quando acabou Moisés de escrever as palavras desta lei em um livro até concluir,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
Mandou Moisés aos levitas que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR, dizendo:
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
Tomai este livro da lei, e ponde-o ao lado da arca do pacto do SENHOR vosso Deus, e esteja ali por testemunha contra ti.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
Porque eu conheço tua rebelião, e tua dura cerviz: eis que ainda vivendo eu hoje convosco, sois rebeldes ao SENHOR; e quanto mais depois que eu morrer?
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
Congregai a mim todos os anciãos de vossas tribos, e a vossos oficiais, e falarei em seus ouvidos estas palavras, e chamarei por testemunhas contra eles os céus e a terra.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
Porque eu sei que depois de minha morte, certamente vos corrompereis e vos desviareis do caminho que vos mandei; e que vos há de vir mal nos últimos dias, por haver feito mal aos olhos do SENHOR, provocando-lhe à ira com a obra de vossas mãos.
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Então falou Moisés aos ouvidos de toda a congregação de Israel as palavras deste cântico até acabá-lo.
