Deuteronômio 6
1 Estes, pois, são os mandamentos, os estatutos e os juízos que mandou o Senhor vosso Deus para se vos ensinar, para que os fizesseis na terra a que passais a possuir;
“These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
2 Para que temas ao Senhor teu Deus, e guardes todos os seus estatutos e mandamentos, que eu te ordeno, tu, e teu filho, e o filho de teu filho, todos os dias da tua vida, e que teus dias sejam prolongados.
He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
3 Ouve pois, ó Israel, e atenta que os guardes, para que bem te suceda, e muito te multipliques, como te disse o Senhor Deus de teus pais, na terra que mana leite e mel.
So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
4 Ouve, Israel, o Senhor nosso Deus é o único Senhor.
“You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
5 Amarás pois o Senhor teu Deus de todo o teu coração, e de toda a tua alma, e de todo o teu poder.
You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
6 E estas palavras, que hoje te ordeno, estarão no teu coração;
Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
7 E as intimarás a teus filhos, e delas falarás assentado em tua casa, e andando pelo caminho, e deitando-te e levantando-te.
Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
8 Também as atarás por sinal na tua mão, e te serão por testeiras entre os teus olhos.
[Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
9 E as escreverás nos umbrais de tua casa, e nas tuas portas.
Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
10 Havendo-te pois o Senhor teu Deus indroduzido na terra que jurou a teus pais, Abraão, Isaac e Jacob, te daria: grandes e boas cidades, que tu não edificaste,
“Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
11 E casas cheias de todo o bem, que tu não encheste, e poços cavados, que tu não cavaste, vinhas e olivais, que tu não plantaste, e comeres, e te fartares,
He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
12 Guarda-te, e que te não esqueças do Senhor, que te tirou da terra do Egito, da casa da servidão.
be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
13 O Senhor teu Deus temerás, e a ele servirás, e pelo seu nome jurarás.
“You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
14 Não seguireis outros deuses, os deuses dos povos que houver à roda de vós;
You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
15 Porque o Senhor vosso Deus é um Deus zeloso no meio de ti, para que a ira do Senhor teu Deus se não acenda contra ti, e te destrua de sobre a face da terra.
Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
16 Não tentareis o Senhor vosso Deus, como o tentaste em Massah.
Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
17 Diligentemente guardareis os mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus; como também os seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, que te tem mandado.
Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
18 E farás o reto e o bom aos olhos do Senhor: para que bem te suceda, e entres, e possuas a boa terra, sobre a qual o Senhor jurou a teus pais.
Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
19 Para que lance fora a todos os teus inimigos de diante de ti, como o Senhor tem dito.
He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
20 Quando teu filho te perguntar pelo tempo adiante, dizendo: quais são os testemunhos, e estatutos e juízos que o Senhor nosso Deus vos ordenou?
“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
21 Então dirás a teu filho: éramos servos de faraó no Egito; porém o Senhor nos tirou com mão forte do Egito;
tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
22 E o Senhor deu sinais grandes, e nocivas maravilhas no Egito, a faraó e a toda a sua casa, aos nossos olhos;
They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
23 E dali nos tirou, para nos levar, e nos dar a terra que jurara a nossos pais.
He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
24 E o Senhor nos ordenou que fizessemos todos estes estatutos, para temer ao Senhor nosso Deus, para o nosso perpétuo bem, para nos guardar em vida, como no dia de hoje.
And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
25 E será para nós justiça, quando tivermos cuidado de fazer todos estes mandamentos perante o Senhor nosso Deus, como nos tem ordenado.
Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
