Deuteronômio 32
1 Escutai, céus, e falarei; E ouça a terra os ditos de minha boca.
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Gotejará como a chuva minha doutrina; Destilará como o orvalho meu discurso; Como o chuvisco sobre a grama, E como as gotas sobre a erva:
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Porque invocarei o nome do SENHOR; Engrandecei ao nosso Deus.
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 [Ele é] a Rocha, sua obra é perfeita, pois todos os seus caminhos são justos. Deus fiel, e sem imoralidade; justo e correto ele é.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Corromperam-se contra ele; não são seus filhos, a falha é deles. São uma geração perversa e distorcida.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 É assim que pagais ao SENHOR, ó povo tolo e insensato? Não é ele teu pai que te adquiriu, te fez, e te estabeleceu?
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Lembra-te dos tempos antigos; Considerai os anos de geração e geração: Pergunta a teu pai, que ele te declarará; A teus anciãos, e eles te dirão.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Quando o Altíssimo fez herdar às nações, Quando fez dividir os filhos dos homens, Estabeleceu os termos dos povos Segundo o número dos filhos de Israel.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Porque a parte do SENHOR é seu povo; Jacó a medida de sua herança.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Achou-o em terra de deserto, E em deserto horrível e ermo; Cercou-o, instruiu-o, Guardou-o como a menina de seu olho.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Como a água desperta sua ninhada, paira sobre seus passarinhos, estende suas asas, os toma, os leva sobre suas penas;
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 o SENHOR sozinho o guiou, e nenhum deus estrangeiro esteve com ele.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Ele o fez cavalgar sobre os lugares altos da terra; alimentou-o com os frutos do campo, e o fez sugar mel da rocha e azeite da dura pederneira;
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 manteiga de vacas e leite de ovelhas, com gordura de cordeiros, e carneiros de Basã; também machos de bode, com o melhor do trigo; e bebeste o sangue das uvas, o vinho puro.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 E engordou Jesurum, e deu coices: engordaste-te, engrossaste-te, cobriste-te: e deixou ao Deus que lhe fez, e menosprezou a Rocha de sua salvação.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Provocaram-lhe ciúmes com os deuses alheios; irritaram-lhe com abominações.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Sacrificaram aos demônios, não a Deus; a deuses que não conheciam, a novos deuses vindos de perto, Que não haviam temido vossos pais.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Abandonaste a Rocha que te gerou; e te esqueceste do Deus que te criou.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 E o SENHOR o viu, e acendeu-se em ira, pelo menosprezo de seus filhos e de suas filhas.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 E disse: esconderei deles meu rosto, verei qual será seu fim; pois são geração de perversidades, filhos sem fidelidade.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Eles me provocaram ciúmes com o que não é Deus; com suas vaidades provocaram-me à ira; eu também provocarei os ciúmes com aqueles que não são povo, e com uma nação insensata eu os provocarei à ira.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Porque um fogo se acendeu em meu furor, e arderá até as profundezas do Xeol; e consumirá a terra e seus frutos, e abrasará os fundamentos dos montes. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Eu trarei males sobre eles; gastarei neles minhas flechas.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Consumidos serão de fome, e comidos de febre ardente E de amarga pestilência; Dente de animais enviarei também sobre eles, Com veneno de serpente da terra.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 De fora desolará a espada, E dentro das câmaras o espanto: Tanto ao rapaz como à virgem, Ao que mama como o homem grisalho.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Disse: Eu os dispersaria do mundo, Faria cessar dentre os homens a memória deles,
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 Se não temesse a ira do inimigo, Não seja que se envaideçam seus adversários, Não seja que digam: Nossa mão alta fez tudo isto, não o SENHOR.
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Porque são gente de perdidos conselhos, E não há neles entendimento.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Bom seria se fossem sábios, que compreendessem isto, E entendessem seu fim!
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Como poderia perseguir um a mil, E dois fariam fugir a dez mil, Se sua Rocha não os houvesse vendido, E o SENHOR não os houvesse entregue?
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Que a rocha deles não é como nossa Rocha: E nossos inimigos sejam disso juízes.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Porque da vide de Sodoma é a vide deles, E dos sarmentos de Gomorra: As uvas deles são uvas venenosas, cachos muito amargos têm.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Veneno de serpentes é seu vinho, e peçonha cruel de áspides.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Não tenho eu isto guardado, Selado em meus tesouros?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Minha é a vingança e o pagamento, Ao tempo que seu pé vacilará; Porque o dia de sua aflição está próximo, E o que lhes está preparado se apressa.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Porque o SENHOR julgará a seu povo, E por causa de seus servos se arrependerá, Quando vir que a força pereceu, E que não há prisioneiro nem livre.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 E dirá: Onde estão seus deuses, A rocha em que se refugiavam;
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 Que comiam a gordura de seus sacrifícios, Bebiam o veio de suas libações? Levante-se, que vos ajudem E vos defendam.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 Vede agora que Eu, Eu Sou, e não há deus além de mim; eu trago a morte, e eu faço viver; eu firo, e eu curo; e não há quem possa escapar da minha mão.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Quando eu erguer aos céus minha mão, e disser: “Tão certo como eu vivo para sempre”,
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 Se eu afiar minha espada reluzente, e minha mão agarrar o juízo, devolverei a vingança sobre os meus adversários, e retribuirei aos que me odeiam.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Embriagarei de sangue minhas flechas, e minha espada devorará carne, no sangue dos mortos e dos cativos, das cabeças dos líderes inimigos.
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Jubilai, ó nações, com o povo dele, porque ele vingará o sangue dos seus servos, e devolverá a vingança sobre os seus inimigos, e expiará sua terra, pelo seu povo.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 E Moisés veio, e recitou todas as palavras deste cântico aos ouvidos do povo, ele, e Josué filho de Num.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 E acabou Moisés de recitar todas estas palavras a todo Israel;
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 E disse-lhes: Ponde vosso coração a todas as palavras que eu vos declaro hoje, para que as mandeis a vossos filhos, e cuidem de praticar todas as palavras desta lei.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Porque não vos é coisa vã, mas é vossa vida: e por elas fareis prolongar os dias sobre a terra, para possuir a qual passais o Jordão.
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 E falou o SENHOR a Moisés aquele mesmo dia, dizendo:
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 Sobe a este monte de Abarim, ao monte Nebo, que está na terra de Moabe, que está em frente de Jericó, e olha a terra de Canaã, que eu dou por herança aos filhos de Israel;
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 E morre no monte ao qual sobes, e sê reunido a teus povos; ao modo que morreu Arão teu irmão no monte de Hor, e foi reunido a seus povos:
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Porquanto transgredistes contra mim em meio dos filhos de Israel nas águas da briga de Cades, no deserto de Zim; porque não me santificastes em meio dos filhos de Israel.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Verás, portanto, diante de ti a terra; mas não entrarás ali, à terra que dou aos filhos de Israel.
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
