Deuteronômio 16
1 Guarda o mez d'Abib, e celebra a paschoa ao Senhor teu Deus: porque no mez d'Abib o Senhor teu Deus te tirou do Egypto, de noite.
“[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
2 Então sacrificarás a paschoa ao Senhor teu Deus, ovelhas e vaccas, no logar que o Senhor escolher para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.
[In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
3 N'ella não comerás levedado: sete dias n'ella comerás pães asmos, pão d'afflicção (porquanto apressadamente saiste da terra do Egypto), para que te lembres do dia da tua saida da terra do Egypto, todos os dias da tua vida.
[When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
4 Levedado não apparecerá comtigo por sete dias em todos os teus termos: tambem da carne que matares á tarde, no primeiro dia, nada ficará até á manhã
[During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
5 Não poderás sacrificar a paschoa em nenhuma das tuas portas que te dá o Senhor teu Deus;
“To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
6 Senão no logar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus, para fazer habitar o seu nome, ali sacrificarás a paschoa á tarde, ao pôr do sol, ao tempo determinado da tua saida do Egypto.
7 Então a cozerás, e comerás no logar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus; depois virás pela manhã, e irás ás tuas tendas
Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
8 Seis dias comerás pães asmos e no setimo dia é solemnidade ao Senhor teu Deus: nenhuma obra farás.
Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
9 Sete semanas contarás; desde que a foice começar na seara começarás a contar as sete semanas.
“[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
10 Depois celebrarás a festa das semanas ao Senhor teu Deus; o que déres será tributo voluntario da tua mão, segundo o Senhor teu Deus te tiver abençoado.
Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
11 E te alegrarás perante o Senhor teu Deus, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e o teu servo, e a tua serva, e o levita que está dentro das tuas portas, e o estrangeiro, e o orphão, e a viuva, que estão no meio de ti, no logar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.
[Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
12 E lembrar-te-has de que foste servo no Egypto: e guardarás estes estatutos, e os farás.
[“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
13 A festa dos tabernaculos guardarás sete dias, quando colheres da tua eira e do teu lagar.
“[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
14 E na tua festa te alegrarás, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e o teu servo, e a tua serva, e o levita, e o estrangeiro, e o orphão, e a viuva, que estão das tuas portas para dentro.
[Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
15 Sete dias celebrarás a festa ao Senhor teu Deus, no logar que o Senhor escolher: porque o Senhor teu Deus te ha de abençoar em toda a tua colheita, e em toda a obra das tuas mãos; pelo que te alegrarás certamente.
Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
16 Tres vezes no anno todo o macho entre ti apparecerá perante o Senhor teu Deus, no logar que escolher, na festa dos pães asmos, e na festa das semanas, e na festa dos tabernaculos; porém não apparecerá vazio perante o Senhor:
“So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
17 Cada qual, conforme ao dom da sua mão, conforme á benção do Senhor teu Deus, que te tiver dado.
in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
18 Juizes e officiaes porás em todas as tuas portas que o Senhor teu Deus te der entre as tuas tribus, para que julguem o povo com juizo de justiça.
“Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
19 Não torcerás o juizo, não farás accepção de pessoas, nem tomarás peitas; porquanto a peita cega os olhos dos sabios, e perverte as palavras dos justos
They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
20 A justiça, a justiça seguirás; para que vivas, e possuas a terra que te dará o Senhor teu Deus.
You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
21 Não plantarás nenhum bosque d'arvores junto ao altar do Senhor teu Deus, que fizeres para ti,
“When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
22 Nem levantarás estatua, a qual aborrece o Senhor teu Deus.
And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
