Deuteronômio 10
1 Naquela época Yahweh me disse: “Corte duas tábuas de pedra como a primeira, e venha até mim na montanha, e faça 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 Vou escrever nas tábuas as palavras que estavam nas primeiras tábuas que você quebrou, e você as colocará 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 Então fiz uma arca de madeira de acácia, cortei duas tábuas de pedra como a primeira, e subi à montanha, tendo as duas tábuas na 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 Ele escreveu nas tábuas, de acordo com o primeiro escrito, os dez mandamentos, que Javé falou com você na montanha fora do meio do fogo no dia da assembléia; e Javé os 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 Eu me virei e desci da montanha, e coloquei as tábuas na arca que eu tinha feito; e lá estão elas como Iavé 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 (As crianças de Israel viajaram de Beeroth Bene Jaakan para Moserah. Lá Arão morreu, e lá ele foi enterrado; e Eleazar, seu filho, ministrou no escritório do sacerdote 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 De lá eles viajaram para Gudgodah; e de Gudgodah para Jotbathah, uma terra de riachos de água.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
8 Naquele tempo Yahweh separou a tribo de Levi para carregar a arca do pacto de Yahweh, para estar diante de Yahweh para ministrar a ele, e para abençoar em seu nome, até os dias 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 Portanto, Levi não tem parte nem herança com seus irmãos; Iavé é sua herança, segundo Iavé, seu Deus falou com ele).
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 Eu fiquei na montanha, como na primeira vez, quarenta dias e quarenta noites; e Javé também me escutou daquela vez. Yahweh não o destruiria.
“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 Javé me disse: “Levantem-se, façam sua viagem diante do povo; e eles entrarão e possuirão a terra que jurei a seus pais que lhes daria”.
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, Israel, o que o Senhor teu Deus exige de ti, mas temer o Senhor teu Deus, caminhar em todos os seus caminhos, amá-lo e servir o 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 e estatutos do Senhor, que eu te ordeno hoje para teu bem?
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Eis que a Javé, vosso Deus, pertence ao céu, ao céu dos céus e à terra, com tudo o que nela existe.
“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 Somente Javé teve o prazer de seus pais para amá-los, e ele escolheu seus descendentes depois deles, mesmo você acima de todos os povos, como é hoje.
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 Circuncide, portanto, o prepúcio de seu coração, e não seja mais de pescoço duro.
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Para Javé, vosso Deus, ele é Deus dos deuses e Senhor dos senhores, o grande Deus, o poderoso e o incrível, que não respeita as pessoas nem aceita subornos.
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 Ele faz justiça para os órfãos de pai e viúva e ama o estrangeiro ao dar-lhe comida e roupas.
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 Portanto, ama o estrangeiro, pois foram estrangeiros na terra do Egito.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
20 Você temerá a Javé, seu Deus. Você o servirá. Apegar-te-ás a ele, e jurarás pelo seu nome.
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 vosso louvor, e ele é vosso Deus, que fez por vós estas grandes e espantosas coisas que vossos olhos viram.
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 Seus pais desceram ao Egito com setenta pessoas; e agora Javé, vosso Deus, vos fez como as estrelas do céu para a 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.”
