Hebrews 3
1 My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
Então, meus irmãos e minhas irmãs, que vivem para Deus e que participam deste chamado celestial, precisamos pensar cuidadosamente sobre Jesus, aquele que dizemos que foi enviado por Deus e que é considerado o Grande Sacerdote.
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
Ele foi fiel a Deus no trabalho para o qual foi escolhido, assim como Moisés foi fiel a Deus na casa de Deus.
3 Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
Mas Jesus merece uma glória muito maior do que a de Moisés, da mesma forma que um construtor de uma casa merece mais crédito do que a casa.
Cada casa tem o seu construtor, mas Deus é o construtor de tudo.
5 Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
E Moisés foi um servo fiel na casa de Deus. Ele falou a respeito do que seria anunciado tempos depois.
6 But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
Mas Cristo é um filho que é o responsável pela casa de Deus. E nós somos a casa de Deus, desde que conservemos a confiança e a esperança naquilo que esperamos.
7 The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
É por isso que o Espírito Santo diz: “Hoje, se vocês ouvirem o que Deus está dizendo,
8 do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
não tenham uma atitude teimosa, como os seus antepassados tiveram, ao se revoltarem contra Ele, quando o colocaram à prova no deserto.
9 Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
Os seus antepassados me fizeram passar por isso. Testaram a minha paciência, mesmo tendo sido testemunhas do que eu fiz durante quarenta anos.
10 So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
Aquela geração me irritou e, então, eu disse: ‘Os pensamentos deles são puro engano, e eles não me conhecem e nem sabem o que eu estou fazendo.’
11 As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
Então, por causa da minha decepção, eu jurei: ‘Eles não entrarão no meu descanso.’”
12 So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
Irmãos e irmãs, façam tudo para que não tenham pensamentos ruins, que os afastem da fé no Deus vivo.
13 Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
Animem uns aos outros todos os dias, enquanto vocês ainda têm um “hoje.” Assim, nenhum de vocês será endurecido pelo engano do pecado.
14 [We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
Pois somos aliados de Cristo, desde que a nossa fé em Deus continue inabalável desde o começo até o fim.
15 [We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
Como é dito nas Sagradas Escrituras: “Hoje, se vocês ouvirem o que Deus está dizendo, não tenham uma atitude teimosa como os seus antepassados tiveram, ao se revoltarem contra Ele.”
16 ([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
Quem foi que se revoltou contra Deus, mesmo ao ouvir o que ele disse? Por acaso, não foram todos aqueles que sairam do Egito, por intermédio de Moisés?
17 And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
Com quem Deus ficou aborrecido por quarenta anos? Não foi com aqueles que pecaram, aqueles mesmos que foram sepultados no deserto?
18 And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
A quem Deus se referia ao jurar que eles não entrariam em seu descanso? Não foi, por acaso, uma referência àqueles que foram desobedientes?
19 So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
Então, está claro para nós que eles não foram capazes de entrar na terra prometida porque não confiaram em Deus.
