Deuteronômio 7
1 Quando o Senhor teu Deus te tiver introduzido na terra, a qual vaes a possuir, e tiver lançado fóra muitas gentes de diante de ti, os hetheos, e os girgaseos, e os amorrheos, e os cananeos, e os phereseos, e os heveos, e os jebuseos, sete gentes mais numerosas e mais poderosas do que tu;
“Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
2 E o Senhor teu Deus as tiver dado diante de ti, para as ferir, totalmente as destruirás; não farás com ellas concerto, nem terás piedade d'ellas;
When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
3 Nem te aparentarás com ellas: não darás tuas filhas a seus filhos, e não tomarás suas filhas para teus filhos;
You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
4 Pois fariam desviar teus filhos de mim, para que servissem a outros deuses; e a ira do Senhor se accenderia contra vós, e depressa vos consumiria.
Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
5 Porém assim lhes fareis: Derrubareis os seus altares, quebrantareis as suas estatuas; e cortareis os seus bosques, e queimareis a fogo as suas imagens d'esculptura.
This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
6 Porque povo sancto és ao Senhor teu Deus: o Senhor teu Deus te escolheu, para que lhe fosses o seu povo proprio, de todos os povos que sobre a terra ha.
You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
7 O Senhor não tomou prazer em vós, nem vos escolheu, porque a vossa multidão era mais do que a de todos os outros povos, pois vós ereis menos em numero do que todos os povos:
“It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
8 Mas porque o Senhor vos amava, e para guardar o juramento que jurára a vossos paes, o Senhor vos tirou com mão forte e vos resgatou da casa da servidão, da mão de Pharaó, rei do Egypto.
Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
9 Saberás pois que o Senhor teu Deus é Deus, o Deus fiel, que guarda o concerto e a misericordia até mil gerações aos que o amam e guardam os seus mandamentos;
So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
10 E dá o pago em sua cara a qualquer dos que o aborrecem, fazendo-o perecer: não dilatará ao que o aborrece; em sua cara lh'o pagará.
But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
11 Guarda pois os mandamentos, e os estatutos e os juizos que hoje te mando fazer.
“So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 Será pois que, se, ouvindo estes juizos, os guardardes e fizerdes, o Senhor teu Deus te guardará o concerto e a beneficencia que jurou a teus paes,
If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
13 E amar-te-ha, e abençoar-te-ha, e te fará multiplicar, e abençoará o fructo do teu ventre, e o fructo da tua terra, o teu grão, e o teu mosto, e o teu azeite, e a criação das tuas vaccas, e o rebanho do teu gado miudo, na terra que jurou a teus paes dar-te
He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
14 Bemdito serás mais do que todos os povos: nem macho nem femea entre ti haverá esteril, nem entre os teus animaes.
He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
15 E o Senhor de ti desviará toda a enfermidade: sobre ti não porá nenhuma das más doenças dos egypcios, que bem sabes, antes as porá sobre todos os que te aborrecem.
And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
16 Pois consumirás a todos os povos que te der o Senhor teu Deus: o teu olho não os poupará: e não servirás a seus deuses, pois isto te seria por laço
You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
17 Se disseres no teu coração: Estas gentes são mais numerosas do que eu; como as poderei lançar fóra?
“Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
18 D'ellas não tenhas temor: não deixes de te lembrar do que o Senhor teu Deus fez a Pharaó e a todos os egypcios,
Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
19 Das grandes provas a que viram os teu olhos, e dos signaes, e maravilhas, e mão forte, e braço estendido, com que o Senhor teu Deus te tirou: assim fará o Senhor teu Deus com todos os povos, diante dos quaes tu temes.
Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
20 E mais o Senhor teu Deus entre elles mandará vespões, até que pereçam os que ficarem, e se escondam de diante de ti.
Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
21 Não te espantes diante d'elles: porque o Senhor teu Deus está no meio de ti, Deus grande e terrivel.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
22 E o Senhor teu Deus lançará fóra estas gentes pouco a pouco de diante de ti: não poderás destruil-as todas de prompto, para que as feras do campo se não multipliquem contra ti.
He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
23 E o Senhor t'as dará diante de ti, e as fará pasmar com grande pasmo, até que sejam destruidas.
Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
24 Tambem os seus reis te entregará na mão, para que desfaças os seus nomes de debaixo dos céus: nenhum homem parará diante de ti, até que os destruas.
He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
25 As imagens d'esculptura de seus deuses queimarás a fogo; a prata e o oiro que estão sobre ellas não cobiçarás, nem os tomarás para ti, para que te não enlaces n'elles; pois abominação é ao Senhor teu Deus.
You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
26 Não metterás pois abominação em tua casa, para que não sejas anathema, assim como ella: de todo a detestarás, e de todo a abominarás, porque anathema é.
You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
