Deuteronomy 4
1 “Now, you Israeli people, obey all the rules and regulations [DOU] that I will teach you. If you do that, you will remain alive and you will enter and occupy/capture the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you.
Agora, pois, ó Israel, ouve os estatutos e os juizos que eu vos ensi- no, para os fazerdes: para que vivaes, e entreis, e possuaes a terra que o Senhor Deus de vossos paes vos dá.
2 Do not add anything to what I command you, and do not take anything away from what I tell you. Obey all the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you.
Não accrescentareis á palavra que vos mando, nem diminuireis d'ella, para que guardeis os mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus, que eu vos mando.
3 “You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
Os vossos olhos teem visto o que Deus fez por Baal-peor; pois a todo o homem que seguiu a Baal-peor o Senhor teu Deus consumiu do meio de ti.
4 but you who faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
Porém vós, que vos cheastes ao Senhor vosso Deus, hoje todos estaes vivos.
5 “Note that I have taught you all the rules and regulations, just like Yahweh our God told me to do. He wants you to obey them [when you are living] in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Vêdes aqui vos tenho ensinado estatutos e juizos, como me mandou o Senhor meu Deus: para que assim façaes no meio da terra a qual ides a herdar.
6 Obey them faithfully because, [if you do that], you will show the people of other nations that you are very wise. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, ‘The people of this great nation [of Israel] are certainly very wise [DOU]!’
Guardae-os pois, e fazei-os, porque esta será a vossa sabedoria e o vosso entendimento perante os olhos dos povos, que ouvirão todos estes estatutos, e dirão: Este grande povo só é gente sabia e entendida.
7 Even if other nations are great, there is none [RHQ] of them that has a god who is as near to them as Yahweh our God is to us! Whenever we call out to him [to help us, he answers/helps us]
Porque, que gente ha tão grande, que tenha deuses tão chegados como o Senhor nosso Deus, todas as vezes que o chamamos?
8 And there is no [RHQ] other nation, even if it is a great nation, that has laws that are as just/fair as the laws that I am telling to you today.
E que gente ha tão grande, que tenha estatutos e juizos tão justos como toda esta lei que hoje dou perante vós?
9 “But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen [God do]. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
Tão sómente guarda-te a ti mesmo, e guarda bem a tua alma, que te não esqueças d'aquellas coisas que os teus olhos teem visto, e se não apartem do teu coração todos os dias da tua vida: e as farãs saber a teus filhos, e aos filhos de teus filhos:
10 Tell them about the day that your ancestors stood in the presence of Yahweh our God at Sinai [Mountain], when he said to me, ‘Gather the people together, in order that they can hear what I say. I want them to learn to have an awesome respect for me as long as they are alive, and I want them to teach their children to do that also.’
O dia em que estiveste perante o Senhor teu Deus em Horeb, quando o Senhor me disse: Ajunta-me este povo, e os farei ouvir as minhas palavras, e aprendel-as-hão, para me temerem todos os dias que na terra viverem, e as ensinarão a seus filhos;
11 [Tell them that] your ancestors came near the bottom of the mountain, while the mountain burned with a fire that went up to the sky, and the mountain was covered with dark clouds and black [smoke].
E vós vos chegastes, e vos pozestes ao pé do monte: e o monte ardia em fogo até ao meio dos céus, e havia trevas, e nuvens e escuridão;
12 Then Yahweh spoke to your ancestors out of the middle of the fire. Your ancestors heard him speak, but they did not see him. They only heard his voice.
Então o Senhor vos fallou do meio do fogo: a voz das palavras ouvistes; porém, além da voz, não vistes similhança nenhuma.
13 And he declared to them his agreement. That agreement contained the Ten Commandments that he wants you to obey. He wrote those on two stone tablets.
Então vos annunciou elle o seu concerto, que vos ordenou fazer, os dez mandamentos, e os escreveu em duas taboas de pedra.
14 Yahweh commanded me to teach all the rules and regulations to you, in order that you would obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.”
Tambem o Senhor me ordenou ao mesmo tempo que vos ensinasse estatutos e juizos, para que os fizesseis na terra a qual passaes a possuir.
15 “On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
Guardae pois com diligencia as vossas almas, pois similhança nenhuma vistes no dia em que o Senhor vosso Deus em Horeb fallou comvosco do meio do fogo;
16 that you do not sin by making for yourselves any idol [of something that can be seen!] not make an idol that resembles any person, either a man or a woman,
Para que não vos corrompaes, e vos façaes alguma esculptura, similhança de imagem, figura de macho ou de femea;
17 or that resembles any animal or any bird
Figura d'algum animal que haja na terra; figura d'alguma ave aligera que vôa pelos céus;
18 or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
Figura d'algum animal que anda de rastos sobre a terra; figura d'algum peixe que esteja nas aguas debaixo da terra;
19 And be careful to not look up toward the sky and be tempted to worship anything that you see there—the sun or the moon or the stars. Yahweh our God has given those to [be a blessing to] all people everywhere, [but you must not worship them].
Que não levantes os teus olhos aos céus e vejas o sol, e a lua, e as estrellas, todo o exercito dos céus; e sejas impellido a que te inclines perante elles, e sirvas áquelles que o Senhor teu Deus repartiu a todos os povos debaixo de todos os céus.
20 Yahweh has brought your ancestors out of Egypt, where [they were suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace, in order that they would be people who belong to him, which is what you are today.
Mas o Senhor vos tomou, e vos tirou do forno de ferro do Egypto, para que lhe sejaes por povo hereditario, como n'este dia se vê.
21 “But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [made me do]. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan [River] to enter the good/fertile land that he is giving to you.
Tambem o Senhor se indignou contra mim por causa das vossas palavras, e jurou que eu não passaria o Jordão, e que não entraria na boa terra que o Senhor teu Deus te dará por herança.
22 He said that I must die here in this land and never cross the Jordan [River]. But you will go across it, and you will occupy that land.
Porque eu n'esta terra morrerei, não passarei o Jordão: porém vós o passareis, e possuireis aquella boa terra.
23 Be sure that you do not forget the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you. He commanded you to not make any kind of idol, because he has forbidden that.
Guardae-vos de que vos esqueçaes do concerto do Senhor vosso Deus, que tem feito comvosco, e vos façaes esculptura alguma, imagem d'alguma coisa que o Senhor vosso Deus vos prohibiu.
24 [You must not do that] because Yahweh your God will destroy [anyone who worships idols, ] like [MET] a fire completely destroys things. He [wants people to worship only him, he] (cannot accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else.
Porque o Senhor teu Deus é um fogo que consome, um Deus zeloso.
25 “When you have been in the land [of Canaan] for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you [and punish you].
Quando pois gerardes filhos, e filhos de filhos, e vos envelhecerdes na terra, e vos corromperdes, e fizerdes alguma esculptura, similhança d'alguma coisa, e fizerdes mal aos olhos do Senhor, para o provocar á ira:
26 Today I am requesting everyone who is in heaven and everyone who is on the earth [MTY] to watch what you are doing. [If you disobey what I am telling you], you will soon all die in the land that you will be crossing the Jordan [River] to occupy. You will not live very long there; Yahweh will completely get rid of many [HYP] of you.
Hoje tomo por testemunhas contra vós o céu e a terra, que certamente perecereis depressa da terra, a qual passaes o Jordão a possuir: não prolongareis os vossos dias n'ella, antes sereis de todo destruidos.
27 And [the rest of you], Yahweh will force you to go and live among the people of many other nations. Only a few of you will (survive/remain alive) there.
E o Senhor vos espalhará entre os povos, e ficareis poucos em numero entre as gentes ás quaes o Senhor vos conduzirá.
28 When you are in those nations, you will worship gods that are made of wood and stone, gods made by humans, gods that cannot see anything or hear anything or eat anything or smell anything.
E ali servireis a deuses que são obra de mãos de homens, madeira e pedra, que não vêem nem ouvem, nem comem nem cheiram.
29 But while you are there, if you will try to know Yahweh your God, and if you try with your entire inner being to know him, he will (answer/reveal himself to) you.
Então d'ali buscarás ao Senhor teu Deus, e o acharás, quando o buscares de todo o teu coração e de toda a tua alma
30 In the future, after you have been mistreated there and all those bad things happen to you, you will again worship only Yahweh and obey him.
Quando estiveres em angustia, e todas estas coisas te alcançarem, então no fim de dias te virarás ao Senhor teu Deus, e ouvirás a sua voz
31 Yahweh is a God who acts mercifully. [If you continue to obey him], he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement that he solemnly made with your ancestors.”
Porquanto o Senhor teu Deus é Deus misericordioso; e não te desamparará, nem te destruirá, nem se esquecerá do concerto que jurou a teus paes
32 “Now think about the past, about the time before you were born, about all the time since God first created people here on the earth. You could search everywhere, in heaven and on the earth. (Has anything like this ever happened that is as great as [what Yahweh did for the Israeli people]?/Certainly nothing has ever happened that is as great [as what Yahweh did for the Israeli people].) [RHQ] (Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?/Certainly no one has ever heard of anything like this.) [RHQ]
Porque, pergunta agora aos tempos passados, que te precederam desde o dia em que Deus creou o homem sobre a terra, desde uma extremidade do céu até á outra, se succedeu jámais coisa tão grande como esta, ou se se ouviu coisa como esta
33 (Has any group ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did?/Certainly no group has ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did.) [RHQ]
Ou se algum povo ouviu a voz de Deus fallando do meio do fogo, como tu a ouviste, e ficou vivo?
34 Certainly no other god has ever tried to take a [huge] group of people from one nation [to another location], like he did for us when he brought us out of Egypt. We saw Yahweh our God use great power [MTY, DOU] when he performed many kinds of [DOU] miracles, and sent plagues, and did many other very terrifying things in Egypt for us, [and rescued us when the army of Egypt tried to fight against us].
Ou se um Deus intentou ir tomar para si um povo do meio de outro povo com provas, com signaes, e com milagres, e com peleja, e com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com grandes espantos, conforme a tudo quanto o Senhor vosso Deus vos fez no Egypto aos vossos olhos?
35 “Yahweh showed all these things to you, in order that you would know that only he is truly God, and that there is no other God.
A ti te foi mostrado para que soubesses que o Senhor é Deus: nenhum outro ha senão elle.
36 He allowed your ancestors to hear him speak from heaven in order that he could discipline them. Here on the earth he allowed them to see his great fire [on Sinai Mountain], and he spoke to them from the middle of the fire.
Desde os céus te fez ouvir a sua voz, para te ensinar, e sobre a terra te mostrou o seu grande fogo, e ouviste as suas palavras do meio do fogo.
37 Because he loved our ancestors, he chose you Israelis who are their descendants, and by his great power he brought your ancestors out of Egypt.
E, porquanto amava teus paes, e escolhera a sua semente depois d'elles, te tirou do Egypto diante de si, com a sua grande força:
38 [As they advanced], he expelled the people of nations that were greater and more powerful than they were, in order that he could allow them to capture their land and cause it to become yours, which is [what is happening] now.
Para lançar fóra de diante de ti gentes maiores e mais poderosas do que tu, para te introduzir n'ella, e te dar a sua terra por herança, como n'este dia se vê
39 “So today you should (meditate on/think about) the fact that Yahweh is God, that he is/rules in heaven and also on the earth, and that there is no other god.
Pelo que hoje saberás, e reflectirás no teu coração, que só o Senhor é Deus em cima no céu, e em baixo na terra; nenhum outro ha.
40 Obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, in order that things will go well for you and for your descendants, and that you will live a long time in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, [to belong to you] forever.”
E guardarás os teus estatutos e os seus mandamentos, que te ordeno hoje, para que bem te vá a ti, e a teus filhos depois de ti, e para que prolongues os dias na terra que o Senhor teu Deus te dá para todo o sempre.
41 Then Moses/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Então Moysés separou tres cidades d'áquem do Jordão, da banda do nascimento do sol
42 If someone accidentally killed another person, a person who had not been his enemy previously, he could escape to one of those cities. He would be safe/protected in one of those cities [because the people there would protect him].
Para que ali se acolhesse o homicida que de improviso matasse o seu proximo a quem d'antes não tivesse odio algum: e se acolhesse a uma d'estas cidades, e vivesse;
43 For the tribe of Reuben, Moses/I set apart Bezer [city] in the (plateau/high level) area. For the tribe of Gad, Moses/I set apart Ramoth [city] in the Gilead [area]. For the tribe of Manasseh, Moses/I set apart Golan [city] in the Bashan [region].
A Bezer, no deserto, na terra plana, para os rubenitas; e a Ramoth, em Gilead, para os gaditas; e a Golan, em Basan, para os manassitas.
44 Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
Esta é pois a lei que Moysés propoz aos filhos de Israel.
45 They included all the rules and instructions and commands that Moses/I gave to them, after they/we had come out of Egypt,
Estes são os testemunhos, e os estatutos, e os juizos, que Moysés fallou aos filhos de Israel, havendo saido do Egypto;
46 when they/we were in the valley east of the Jordan [River]. They/We were across from Beth-Peor [town], in the land that [previously] was ruled by Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. Moses/I and the other Israelis had defeated his [army] when they/we came out of Egypt.
D'aquem do Jordão, no valle defronte de Beth-peor, na terra de Sehon, rei dos amorrheos, que habitava em Hesbon: a quem feriu Moysés e os filhos de Israel, havendo elles saido do Egypto.
47 They/We captured Sihon’s land and the land that Og, the king of the Bashan [region], ruled. They were the two kings who ruled the Amor people-group [in the area] east of the Jordan [River].
E tomaram a sua terra em possessão, como tambem a terra de Og, rei de Basan, dois reis dos amorrheos, que estavam d'áquem do Jordão, da banda do nascimento do sol.
48 Their land extended from Aroer [town in the south] along the Arnon [River], as far [north] as Sirion Mountain, which [most people] call Hermon Mountain.
Desde Aroer, que está á borda do ribeiro de Arnon, até ao monte de Sion. que é Hermon,
49 It also included all the area east of the Jordan [River] Valley, all the way south to the Dead Sea and east to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain].
E toda a campina d'áquem do Jordão, da banda do oriente, até ao mar da campina, abaixo de Asdoth-pisga.
