Agradecimento pela família
Agradecer pela família é reconhecer a bênção mais preciosa que Deus nos concede. Os filhos são herança do Senhor — cada membro da família é presente divino a ser celebrado.
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;
they are a reward/blessing from him.
If a man has sons while he is still young,
when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family
like [SIM] a soldier can defend himself if he has a bow and arrows in his hand.
A man who has many sons is very happy,
like [MET] a soldier who has many arrows in his quiver is very happy.
If a man with his many grown sons is taken by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man,
because his sons will help to defend him.
A psalm written by David
I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh.
I will praise him [MTY] with all of my inner being, because he [MTY] is holy.
I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh
and never forget all the kind things he has done for me:
We will tell these things to our children [LIT],
and we will also tell to our grandchildren
about Yahweh’s power and the glorious/great things that he has done.
Old people are usually proud of [MET] their grandchildren,
just like children are usually proud of their parents.
I prayed that Yahweh would enable me to give birth to a child, and this is the child whom I requested Yahweh to give me.
I thank God and rejoice because you have been working together with me to make known the good message from when you first believed until now.
I thank my God whenever I think about you.
◄We cannot thank God adequately for what he has done for you!/How can we thank God enough for what he has done for you?► [RHQ] We greatly rejoice concerning you when we pray to our God!
You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh!
Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
The truth is that God, our heavenly Father [MTY], does only good [DOU] things for us, in order to help us become all that he intends us to be. He is not like all the things in the sky that he created to give light, because they change; that is, they do not shine the same all the time. But God never changes. He is always good.
We have all benefited very much from what he has done. Again and again, he has acted in kind way toward us in ways we did not deserve.
The women of Bethlehem said to Naomi, "Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel. He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will ◄be better to/do more for► you than if you had seven sons of your own."
Only people who are still alive, like I am, can praise you.
Fathers tell their children how you are faithful,
and if I remain alive, I will do the same thing.
