Ânimo
O ânimo vem de Deus. Ele nos fortalece, nos encoraja e renova nossas forças. Quando o desânimo chega, as promessas de Deus nos levantam e nos impulsionam a seguir em frente.
(Of Dovid)
Hashem is my ohr and Yishi (my Salvation);
whom shall I fear?
Hashem is the ma’oz (stronghold) of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
But the Teshu’at Tzaddikim is of Hashem;
He is their ma’oz (stronghold, refuge) in the time of tzoros.
In the day when I called out, Thou answeredst me,
and madest me bold with oz (strength) in my nefesh.
I can do all things in the One giving me ko’ach.
Being convinced of this: that He who began a pe’ulah hatovah (good work) in you, will bring that mitzvoh to completion by Yom Hashem, the Yom Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua.
For Hashem did not bestow upon us a ruach of pachad (terror), but of gevurah (miraculous power) and of ahavah (love) and of sound havchanah (judgment).
For I know the machshavot (thoughts, plans) that I think toward you, saith Hashem, machshavot shalom, and not of ra’ah, to give you an acharit (future) and a tikvah (hope).
And the people answered and said, Chalilah lanu (far be it from us) that we should forsake Hashem, to serve elohim acharim; For Hashem Eloheinu, He it is that brought us up and Avoteinu out of Eretz Mitzrayim, from the bais avadim, and which did those haotot hagedolot in our sight, and was shomer over us in kol HaDerech in which we went, and among Kol HaAmim through whom we passed;
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer in various masot (trials, temptations),
For I am longing to see you, that I may impart to you some mattanah ruchanit (spiritual gift) for the tachlis (purpose) of imparting chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to you and be mechazek (be strengthened spiritually); Or rather, so that there may be mutual chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) among you through each otherʼs emunah (faith), both yours and mine.
Therefore we are undaunted and do not lose chozek (strength). For, indeed, even if our outward man is becoming old and atrophied, yet our inward man is yom yom being renewed.
Therefore, give chozek (strength) and encouragement, building up one another, as indeed you are doing.
For this reason, Achim b’Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah.
