Deuteronômio 11
1 Amarás pois ao Senhor teu Deus, e guardarás a sua observancia, e os seus estatutos, e os seus juizos, e os seus mandamentos, todos os dias.
“[Because of all that] Yahweh your God [has done for you], you must love him and continually obey all his rules and regulations and commandments.
2 E hoje sabereis que fallo, não com vossos filhos, que o não sabem, e não viram a instrucção do Senhor vosso Deus, a sua grandeza, a sua mão forte, e o seu braço estendido;
It was you and your ancestors, not your children, whom he disciplined [by causing all of you to have/experience difficulties]. So, starting today, continue to think about how very great and very powerful he is [DOU, MTY].
3 Nem tão pouco os seus signaes, nem os seus feitos, que fez no meio do Egypto a Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e a toda a sua terra;
Think about the various miracles [DOU] that he performed in Egypt. Think about what he did to the king of Egypt and to his country.
4 Nem o que fez ao exercito dos egypcios, aos seus cavallos e aos seus carros, fazendo passar sobre elles as aguas do Mar Vermelho quando vos perseguiam: e o Senhor os destruiu até ao dia de hoje;
Think about what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots. Think about how he caused the Red Sea to flood/cover over them while they were pursuing your ancestors, and how the army of Egypt was completely (wiped out/destroyed).
5 Nem o que vos fez no deserto, até que chegastes a este logar;
Think about what Yahweh did for your ancestors in the desert before you arrived at this place.
6 E o que fez a Dathan e a Abiram, filhos de Eliab, filho de Ruben: como a terra abriu a sua bocca e os tragou com as suas casas e com as suas tendas, como tambem tudo o que subsistia, e lhes pertencia, no meio de todo o Israel:
Think about what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the two sons of Eliab from the tribe of Reuben. While all of your ancestors were watching, the earth split open, and they fell into the opening [and disappeared], along with their families and their tents, their servants, and their animals.
7 Porquanto os vossos olhos são os que viram toda a grande obra que fez o Senhor.
You [SYN] and your ancestors have seen all these miracles that Yahweh performed.
8 Guardae pois todos os mandamentos que eu vos ordeno hoje, para que vos esforceis, e entreis, e possuaes a terra que passaes a possuir;
So, obey all the commandments that I am giving you today, in order that you will be strong and able to cross the river and occupy the land that you are about to enter,
9 E para que prolongueis os dias na terra que o Senhor jurou a vossos paes dal-a a elles e á sua semente, terra que mana leite e mel.
and in order that you will live for a long time in that land, the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give to them and to their descendants, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
10 Porque a terra que entras a possuir não é como a terra do Egypto, d'onde saistes, em que semeavas a tua semente, e a regavas com o teu pé, como a uma horta.
The land that you are about to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where your ancestors lived. In Egypt, after they planted seeds, it was necessary for them to work hard [MTY] to water [the plants that grew].
11 Mas a terra que passaes a possuir é terra de montes e de valles: da chuva dos céus beberá as aguas:
But the land that you are about to enter is a land where there are many hills and valleys, where there is plenty of rain.
12 Terra de que o Senhor teu Deus tem cuidado: os olhos do Senhor teu Deus estão sobre ella continuamente, desde o principio até ao fim do anno.
Yahweh takes care of that land. He [SYN] watches over it every day, from the beginning of each year to the end of each year.
13 E será que, se diligentemente obedecerdes a meus mandamentos que hoje te ordeno, de amar ao Senhor teu Deus, e de o servir de todo o teu coração e de toda a tua alma,
Today I am commanding you to love Yahweh our God and to serve him with your entire inner beings. If you do that,
14 Então darei a chuva da vossa terra a seu tempo, a temporã e a serodia, para que recolhas o teu grão, e o teu mosto e o teu azeite.
each year he will send rain on your land at the (right times/times when it is needed), (in the autumn/at the end of the dry season) and (in the spring/before the next dry season starts). As a result, you will have grain and [grapes to make] wine and [olives to make olive] oil.
15 E darei herva no teu campo ás tuas bestas, e comerás, e fartar-te-has.
And he will cause grass to grow in your fields for your livestock [to eat]. You will have all the food that you want.
16 Guardae-vos, que o vosso coração não se engane, e vos desvieis, e sirvaes a outros deuses, e vos inclineis perante elles:
“But I warn you, do not turn away from Yahweh our God and start to worship other gods,
17 E a ira do Senhor se accenda contra vós, e feche elle os céus, e não haja agua, e a terra não dê a sua novidade, e cedo pereçaes da boa terra que o Senhor vos dá.
because if you do that, Yahweh will become very angry with you. He will prevent any rain from falling. As a result, the crops will not grow, and you will soon die [from hunger] in the good land that Yahweh is about to give to you.
18 Ponde pois estas minhas palavras no vosso coração e na vossa alma, e atae-as por signal na vossa mão, para que estejam por testeiras entre os vossos olhos,
So, keep thinking [IDM] about these commands. Write them [on tiny scrolls] and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
19 E ensinae-as a vossos filhos, fallando d'ellas assentado em tua casa, e andando pelo caminho, e deitando-te, e levantando-te;
Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down at night and when you are getting up in the morning.
20 E escreve-as nos umbraes de tua casa, e nas tuas portas:
Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
21 Para que se multipliquem os vossos dias e os dias de vossos filhos na terra que o Senhor jurou a vossos paes dar-lhes, como os dias dos céus sobre a terra.
Do that in order that you and your children will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them. That land will belong to you [and your descendants] as long as there is a sky above the earth.
22 Porque, se diligentemente guardardes todos estes mandamentos que vos ordeno para os guardardes, amando ao Senhor vosso Deus, andando em todos os seus caminhos, e a elle vos achegardes,
“Faithfully continue to obey what I am commanding you to do—to love Yahweh our God, and to conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
23 Tambem o Senhor de diante de vós lançará fóra todas estas nações, e possuireis nações maiores e mais poderosas do que vós
If you do that, Yahweh will expel all the people-groups in that land as you advance, people-groups that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
24 Todo o logar que pisar a planta do vosso pé será vosso: desde o deserto, e desde o Libano, desde o rio, o rio Euphrates, até ao mar occidental, será o vosso termo.
All the ground [in that land] on which you walk will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert [in the south] to the Lebanon [Mountains in the north], and from the Euphrates River [in the east] to the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west.
25 Ninguem parará diante de vós: o Senhor vosso Deus porá sobre toda a terra que pisardes o vosso terror e o vosso temor, como já vos tem dito.
Yahweh our God will cause all the people in that land to be afraid of you, which is what he promised, with the result that no people-group will be able to stop you.
26 Eis que hoje eu ponho diante de vós a benção e a maldição:
“Listen carefully: Today I am telling you [that Yahweh will either] bless [you or he will] curse you.
27 A benção, quando ouvirdes os mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus, que hoje vos mando;
If you obey the commandments of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, he will bless you.
28 Porém a maldição, se não ouvirdes os mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus, e vos desviardes do caminho que hoje vos ordeno, para seguirdes outros deuses que não conhecestes.
If you do not obey them, and if you turn away from him to worship other gods that you have never known about before, he will curse you.
29 E será que, havendo-te o Senhor teu Deus introduzido na terra, a que vaes para possuil-a, então pronunciarás a benção sobre o monte de Gerizim, e a maldição sobre o monte d'Ebal
And when Yahweh brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, [some of you must stand on top of] Gerizim Mountain and proclaim what will cause Yahweh to bless you, and [the others must stand on top of] Ebal Mountain and proclaim [what will cause Yahweh to] curse you.”
30 Porventura não estão elles d'aquem do Jordão, junto ao caminho do pôr do sol, na terra dos cananeos, que habitam na campina defronte do Gilgal, junto aos carvalhaes de Moreh?
(Those two mountains are [RHQ] west of the Jordan [River], west of the Jordan Valley near the huge oak tree at Moreh [village] in the land where the Canaan people-group lives. They live close to the sacred trees near Gilgal.)
31 Porque passareis o Jordão para entrardes a possuir a terra, que vos dá o Senhor vosso Deus: e a possuireis, e n'ella habitareis.
“You will soon cross the Jordan [River] to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. When you enter that land and start to live there,
32 Tende pois cuidado em fazer todos os estatutos e os juizos, que eu hoje vos proponho.
be sure to obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
