Deuteronômio 10
1 Naquele mesmo tempo me disse o Senhor: Alisa duas tábuas de pedra, como as primeiras, e sobe a mim a este monte, e faze-te uma arca de madeira:
“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
2 E naquelas tábuas escreverei as palavras que estavam nas primeiras tábuas que quebraste, e as porás na arca.
I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
3 Assim, fiz uma arca de madeira de cetim, e alisei duas tábuas de pedra, como as primeiras: e subi ao monte com as duas tábuas na minha mão.
“So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
4 Então escreveu nas tábuas, conforme à primeira escritura, os dez mandamentos, que o Senhor vos falara no dia da congregação, no monte, do meio do fogo: e o Senhor mas deu a mim
There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
5 E virei-me, e desci do monte, e pus as tábuas na arca que fizera: e ali estão, como o Senhor me ordenou.
and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
6 E partiram os filhos de Israel de Beeroth-Bene-jaakan a Mosera: ali faleceu Aarão, e ali foi sepultado, e Eleazar, seu filho, administrou o sacerdócio em seu lugar.
(Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
7 Dali partiram a Gudgod, e de Gudgod a Jotbath, terra de ribeiros de águas.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
8 No mesmo tempo o Senhor separou a tribo de Levi, para levar a arca do concerto do Senhor, para estar diante do Senhor, para o servir, e para abençoar em seu nome até ao dia de hoje.
At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
9 Pelo que Levi com seus irmãos não tem parte na herança: o Senhor é a sua herança, como o Senhor teu Deus lhe tem dito
That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
10 E eu estive no monte, como nos dias primeiros, quarenta dias e quarenta noites: e o Senhor me ouviu ainda por esta vez: não quis o Senhor destruir-te.
“I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
11 Porém o Senhor me disse: Levanta-te, põe-te a caminho diante do povo, para que entrem, e possuam a terra que jurei a seus pais dar-lhes.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
12 Agora, pois, ó Israel, que é o que o Senhor teu Deus pede de ti, senão que temas o Senhor teu Deus, que andes em todos os seus caminhos, e o ames, e sirvas ao Senhor teu Deus com todo o teu coração e com toda a tua alma
“Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
13 Para guardar os mandamentos do Senhor, e os seus estatutos, que hoje te ordeno, para o teu bem?
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Eis que os céus e os céus dos céus são do Senhor teu Deus, a terra e tudo o que nela há.
“Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
15 Tão somente o Senhor tomou prazer em teus pais para os amar: e a vós, semente deles, escolheu depois deles, de todos os povos, como neste dia se vê
But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
16 Circuncidai pois o prepúcio do vosso coração, e não mais endureçais a vossa cerviz.
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Pois o Senhor vosso Deus é o Deus dos deuses, e o Senhor dos senhores, o Deus grande, poderoso e terrível, que não faz acepção de pessoas, nem aceita recompensas:
Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
18 Que faz justiça ao órfão e à viúva, e ama o estrangeiro, dando-lhe pão e vestido.
He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
19 Pelo que amareis o estrangeiro, pois fostes estrangeiros na terra do Egito.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
20 Ao Senhor teu Deus temerás, a ele servirás, e a ele te chegarás, e pelo seu nome jurarás.
Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
21 Ele é o teu louvor e o teu Deus, que te fez estas grandes e terríveis coisas que os teus olhos tem visto.
He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
22 Com setenta almas teus pais desceram ao Egito; e agora o Senhor teu Deus te pôs como as estrelas dos céus em multidão.
When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
