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 regulamentos que eu vos ensino, para que os executeis, e vivais, e entreis, e possuais a terra que o SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais te 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 acrescentareis à palavra que eu vos mando, nem diminuireis dela, para que guardeis os mandamentos do SENHOR vosso Deus que eu vos ordeno.
3 “You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
Vossos olhos viram o que fez o SENHOR por motivo de Baal-Peor; que a todo homem que foi atrás de Baal-Peor destruiu o SENHOR teu Deus do meio de ti.
4 but you who faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
Mas vós que vos achegastes ao SENHOR vosso Deus, todos estais vivos hoje.
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.
Olhai, eu vos ensinei estatutos e regulamentos, como o SENHOR meu Deus me mandou, para que façais assim em meio da terra na qual entrais para possuí-la.
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]!’
Guardai-os, pois, e ponde-os por obra: porque esta é vossa sabedoria e vossa inteligência aos olhos dos povos, os quais ouvirão todos estes estatutos, e dirão: Certamente povo sábio e entendido, gente grande é esta.
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 grande há que tenha os deuses próximo a si, como o está o SENHOR nosso Deus em tudo quanto lhe pedimos?
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 grande há que tenha estatutos e regulamentos justos, como é toda esta lei que eu ponho hoje diante de 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.
Portanto, guarda-te, e guarda tua alma com empenho, que não te esqueças das coisas que teus olhos viram, nem se apartem de teu coração todos os dias de tua vida: e as ensinarás 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.’
No dia que estiveste diante do SENHOR teu Deus em Horebe, quando o SENHOR me disse: Junta-me o povo, para que eu lhes faça ouvir minhas palavras, as quais aprenderão, para temer-me todos os dias que viverem sobre a terra: 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 vos aproximastes, e vos pusestes ao pé do monte; e o monte ardia em fogo até em meio dos céus com trevas, nuvem, 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.
E falou o SENHOR convosco do meio do fogo: ouvistes a voz de suas palavras, mas a exceção de ouvir a voz, nenhuma forma vistes:
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.
E ele vos anunciou seu pacto, o qual vos mandou pôr por obra, os dez mandamentos; e escreveu-os em duas tábuas 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.”
A mim também me mandou o SENHOR então ensinar-vos os estatutos e regulamentos, para que os pusestes por obra na terra à qual passais para possuí-la.
15 “On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
Guardai pois muito vossas almas: pois nenhuma forma vistes no dia que o SENHOR falou convosco 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 corrompais, e façais para vós escultura, imagem de forma alguma, efígie de macho ou fêmea,
17 or that resembles any animal or any bird
Figura de algum animal que seja na terra, forma de ave alguma de asas que voe pelo ar,
18 or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
Figura de nenhum animal que vá arrastando pela terra, forma de peixe algum que haja na água 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].
E para que levantando teus olhos ao céu, e vendo o sol e a lua e as estrelas, e todo o exército do céu, não sejas incitado, e te inclines a eles, e lhes sirvas; que o SENHOR teu Deus os concedeu 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.
Porém a vós o SENHOR vos tomou, e vos tirou do forno de ferro, do Egito, para que lhe sejais por povo de herança como neste dia.
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.
E o SENHOR se irou contra mim sobre vossos negócios, e jurou que eu não passaria o Jordão, nem entraria na boa terra, que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá 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.
Assim eu vou a morrer nesta terra; e não passo o Jordão: mas vós passareis, e possuireis aquela 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.
Guardai-vos que não vos esqueçais do pacto do SENHOR vosso Deus, que ele estabeleceu convosco, e vos façais escultura ou imagem de qualquer coisa, que o SENHOR teu Deus te proibiu.
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 fogo que consome, 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 houverdes gerado filhos e netos, e houverdes envelhecido na terra, e vos corromperdes, e fizerdes escultura ou imagem de qualquer coisa, e fizerdes mal aos olhos do SENHOR vosso Deus, para irá-lo;
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.
Eu ponho hoje por testemunhas ao céu e à terra, que logo perecereis totalmente da terra até a qual passais o Jordão para possuí-la: não estareis nela longos dias sem que sejais destruídos.
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 restareis poucos em número entre as nações às quais vos levará o SENHOR:
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 servireis ali a deuses feitos das mãos de homens, a madeira e a pedra, que não vem, 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.
Mas se desde ali buscares ao SENHOR teu Deus, o acharás, se o buscares de todo teu coração e de toda 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 angústia, e te alcançarem todas estas coisas, se nos últimos dias te voltares ao SENHOR teu Deus, e ouvires 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.”
Porque Deus misericordioso é o SENHOR teu Deus; não te deixará, nem te destruirá, nem se esquecerá do pacto de teus pais que lhes jurou.
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 dos tempos passados, que foram antes de ti, desde o dia que criou Deus ao homem sobre a terra, e desde um fim do céu ao outro, se se fez coisa semelhante a esta grande coisa, ou se tenha ouvido outra como ela.
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]
Ouviu povo a voz de Deus, que falasse do meio do fogo, como tu a ouviste, e viveste?
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 experimentou Deus a vir a tomar para si nação do meio de outra nação, com provas, com sinais, com milagres, e com guerra, e mão forte, e braço estendido, e grandes espantos, segundo todas as coisas que fez convosco o SENHOR vosso Deus no Egito diante de teus 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 ele é Deus; não há mais além dele.
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.
Dos céus te fez ouvir sua voz, para ensinar-te: e sobre a terra te mostrou seu grande fogo: e ouviste 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 ele amou a teus pais, escolheu sua descendência depois deles, e te tirou diante de si do Egito com seu grande poder;
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 de diante de ti nações grandes e mais fortes que tu, e para te introduzir, e dar-te sua terra por herança, como hoje.
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.
Aprende pois hoje, e medita em teu coração que o SENHOR ele é o Deus acima no céu, e abaixo sobre a terra; não há outro.
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 guarda seus estatutos e seus mandamentos, que eu te mando hoje, para que te vá bem a ti e a teus filhos depois de ti, e prolongues teus dias sobre a terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá para sempre.
41 Then Moses/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Então separou Moisés três cidades desta parte do Jordão ao oriente,
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 fugisse ali o homicida que matasse a seu próximo por acidente, sem haver tido inimizade com ele desde ontem nem antes de ontem; e que fugindo de uma vez destas cidades salvara a vida:
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, em terra da planície, dos rubenitas; e a Ramote em Gileade, dos gaditas; e a Golã em Basã, dos de Manassés.
44 Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
Esta, pois, é a lei que Moisés propôs diante dos 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 regulamentos, que Moisés notificou aos filhos de Israel, quando houveram saído do Egito;
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.
Desta parte do Jordão, no vale diante de Bete-Peor, na terra de Seom rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom, ao qual feriu Moisés com os filhos de Israel, quando saíram do Egito:
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 possuíram sua terra, e a terra de Ogue rei de Basã; dois reis dos amorreus que estavam desta parte do Jordão, ao oriente:
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 junto à beira do ribeiro de Arnom, até o monte de Sião, que é Hermom;
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 planície desta parte do Jordão, ao oriente, até o mar da planície, as encostas das águas abaixo do Pisga.
