Deuteronômio 27

1 E deram ordem, Moisés e os anciãos, ao povo de Israel, dizendo: guardai todos estes mandamentos que hoje vos ordeno:

Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.

2 Será pois que, no dia em que passares o Jordão à terra que te der o Senhor teu Deus, levantar-te-ás umas pedras grandes, e as caiarás com cal.

[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.

3 E, havendo-o passado, escreverás nelas todas as palavras desta lei, para entrares na terra que te der o Senhor teu Deus, terra que mana leite e mel, como te disse o Senhor Deus de teus pais.

4 Será pois que, quando houveres passado o Jordão, levantareis estas pedras, que hoje vos ordeno, no monte Ebal, e as caiarás com cal.

5 E ali edificarás um altar ao Senhor teu Deus, um altar de pedras; não alçarás ferro sobre elas.

And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.

6 De pedras inteiras edificarás o altar do Senhor teu Deus: e sobre ele oferecerás holocaustos ao Senhor teu Deus.

The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.

7 Também sacrificarás ofertas pacíficas, e ali comerás perante o Senhor teu Deus, e te alegrarás.

And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.

8 E nestas pedras escreverás todas as palavras desta lei, exprimindo-as bem.

And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”

9 Falou mais Moisés, juntamente com os sacerdotes levitas, a todo o Israel, dizendo: Escuta e ouve, ó Israel! neste dia vieste a ser por povo ao Senhor teu Deus.

Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.

10 Portanto obedecerás à voz do Senhor teu Deus, e farás os seus mandamentos e os seus estatutos que hoje te ordeno.

So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”

11 E Moisés deu ordem naquele dia ao povo, dizendo:

On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,

12 Quando houverdes passado o Jordão, estes estarão sobre o monte Gerizim, para abençoarem o povo: Simeão, e Levi, e Judá, e Issacar, e José, e Benjamin;

“After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.

13 E estes estarão para amaldiçoar sobre o monte Ebal: Ruben, Gad, e Aser, e Zebulon, Dan e Naphtali.

And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.

14 E os levitas protestarão a todo o povo de Israel em alta voz, e dirão:

The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:

15 Maldito o homem que fizer imagem de escultura, ou de fundição, abominação ao Senhor, obra da mão do artífice, e a puser em um lugar escondido. E todo o povo responderá, e dirá: amém.

‘Yahweh will curse anyone who makes an idol of stone, or of wood, or of metal, and secretly sets it up [and worships it]. Yahweh considers that those things, made by humans [SYN], are detestable/disgusting.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’

16 Maldito aquele que desprezar a seu pai ou a sua mãe. E todo o povo dirá: amém.

‘Yahweh will curse anyone who accepts a bribe to murder someone who (is innocent/has not done something that is wrong.)’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’

26 Maldito aquele que não confirmar as palavras desta lei, não as fazendo. E todo o povo dirá: amém.

‘Yahweh will curse anyone who disobeys these laws and refuses to declare that these laws [are good].’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’”
