Admiração
O temor do Senhor é o princípio da sabedoria. A admiração reverente por Deus é a postura que produz conhecimento, obediência e bênção na vida do crente.
The Yirat Hashem is the reshit da’as,
but fools despise chochmah and musar.
The Yirat Hashem is the beginning of chochmah,
and the da’as Kedoshim (knowledge of the Holy One) is binah (understanding).
The Yirat Hashem is the musar of chochmah;
and before kavod (honor) is anavah (humility).
Better is little with the Yirat Hashem
than otzar rav (great treasure) and trouble therewith.
The Yirat Hashem is to hate rah;
pride, and ga’on (arrogance), and the derech rah,
and the perverse peh (mouth), do I hate.
By anavah (humility) and the Yirat Hashem
are osher, and kavod, and chayyim.
Be not chacham in thine own eyes;
fear Hashem, and depart from rah.
It shall be rife’ut (health) to thy navel,
and marrow to thy atzmot.
Chen (charm) is sheker (deceitful), and yofi (beauty) is fleeting;
but an isha Yirat Hashem (a G-d fearing wife), she shall be praised.
Let us hear the sof (conclusion) of the whole matter; Fear HaElohim, and of His commandments be shomer mitzvot; for this is the whole duty of haAdam.
The fear of Hashem is the reshit chochmah;
seichel tov have all they that live by it;
His tehillah (praise) endureth forever.
Praise Hashem.
Ashrei is the ish that feareth Hashem,
that delighteth greatly in His mitzvot.
(Shir HaMa’alot)
Ashrei kol yerei (fearers of) Hashem;
that walketh in His drakhim.
Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him,
upon them that hope in His chesed;
Then shall eretz yield her yevul (increase, produce, harvest);
and Elohim, even Eloheinu, shall put a brocha upon us.
And now, Yisroel, what doth Hashem Eloheicha require of thee, but to fear Hashem Eloheicha, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Hashem Eloheicha with all thy lev and with all thy nefesh, To be shomer over the mitzvot Hashem, and His chukkot, which I command thee today for thy good.
Thou shalt not give heed unto the devarim of that navi, or that dreamer of dreams; for Hashem Eloheichem is testing you, to know whether ye love Hashem Eloheichem with all your lev and with all your nefesh.
And it came to pass, because the meyalledot feared HaElohim, that He established them batim.
Therefore, having these havtachot (promises), Chaverim, let us submit to his tahorah, cleansing ourselves from every defilement of basar and ruach, perfecting kedushah (holiness) in yirat Shomayim.
Render to everyone their due: tribute to whom tribute is due, tax to whom tax; fear to whom fear is due, respect to whom respect.
To him that is afflicted, chesed should be shown from his friend;
otherwise, he forsaketh the fear of Shaddai.
