Deuteronômio 30

1 E será que, sobrevindo-te todas estas coisas, a benção ou a maldição, que tenho posto diante de ti, e te recordares delas entre todas as nações, para onde te lançar o Senhor teu Deus;

“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].

2 E te converteres ao Senhor teu Deus, e deres ouvidos à sua voz, conforme a tudo o que eu te ordeno hoje, tu e teus filhos, com todo o teu coração, e com toda a tua alma;

Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,

3 Então o Senhor teu Deus te fará voltar do teu cativeiro, e se apiedará de ti; e tornará a ajuntar-te dentre todas as nações entre as quais te espalhou o Senhor teu Deus.

he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.

4 Ainda que os teus desterrados estejam para a extremidade do céu, desde ali te ajuntará o Senhor teu Deus, e te tomará dali;

Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].

5 E o Senhor teu Deus te trará à terra que teus pais possuiram, e a possuirás; e te fará bem, e te multiplicará mais do que a teus pais

He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.

6 E o Senhor teu Deus circuncidará o teu coração, e o coração de tua semente; para amares ao Senhor teu Deus com todo o coração, e com toda a tua alma, para que vivas.

Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.

7 E o Senhor teu Deus porá todas estas maldições sobre os teus inimigos, e sobre os teus aborrecedores, que te perseguiram.

Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.

8 Converter-te-ás pois, e darás ouvidos à voz do Senhor; farás todos os seus mandamentos que hoje te ordeno.

You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.

9 E o Senhor teu Deus te fará abundar em toda a obra das tuas mãos, no fruto do teu ventre, e no fruto dos teus animais, e no fruto da tua terra para bem; porquanto o Senhor tornará a alegrar-se em ti para bem, como se alegrou em teus pais;

Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.

10 Quando deres ouvidos à voz do Senhor teu Deus, guardando os seus mandamentos e os seus estatutos, escritos neste livro da lei, quando te converteres ao Senhor teu Deus com todo o teu coração, e com toda a tua alma.

[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.

11 Porque este mandamento, que hoje te ordeno, te não é encoberto, e tão pouco está longe de ti.

The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].

12 Não está nos céus, para dizeres: Quem subirá por nós aos céus, que no-lo traga, e no-lo faça ouvir, para que o façamos?

They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]

13 Nem tão pouco está de além do mar, para dizeres: Quem passará por nós de além do mar, para que no-lo traga, e no-lo faça ouvir, para que o façamos?

And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]

14 Porque esta palavra está mui perto de ti, na tua boca, e no teu coração, para a fazeres.

[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.

15 Vês aqui, hoje te tenho proposto a vida e o bem, e a morte e o mal;

So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].

16 Porquanto te ordeno hoje que ames ao Senhor teu Deus, que andes nos seus caminhos, e que guardes os seus mandamentos, e os seus estatutos, e os seus juízos, para que vivas, e te multipliques, e o Senhor teu Deus te abençoe na terra a qual entras a possuir.

[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.

17 Porém se o teu coração se desviar, e não quizeres dar ouvidos, e fores seduzido para te inclinar a outros deuses, e os servires,

But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,

18 Então eu vos denuncio hoje que, certamente, perecereis: não prolongareis os dias na terra a que vais, passando o Jordão, para que, entrando nela, a possuas;

I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.

19 Os céus e a terra tomo hoje por testemunhas contra vós, que te tenho proposto a vida e a morte, a benção e a maldição: escolhe pois a vida, para que vivas, tu e a tua semente,

I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.

20 Amando ao Senhor teu Deus, dando ouvidos à sua voz, e te achegando a ele: pois ele é a tua vida, e a longura dos teus dias; para que fiques na terra que o Senhor jurou a teus pais, a Abraão, a Isaac, e a Jacob, que lhes havia de dar.

[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
