Aniversário
O aniversário é momento de celebrar a vida que Deus nos deu. A Bíblia nos convida a agradecer por cada dia, contar nossos anos com sabedoria e alegrar-se na bondade do Senhor.
Agradecer pela vida
Este é o dia que o Senhor fez — alegremo-nos! Cada dia é presente de Deus, cada ano é prova da sua fidelidade.
This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Halelu-JAH. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
To show forth thy mercy in the morning and thy faithfulness every night
For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Beloved, I wish that thou be prospered in all things and be sound, even as thy soul prospers.
A obra de Deus em nós
Tu me teceste no ventre de minha mãe — maravilhosas são as tuas obras! Cada vida é obra-prima do Criador.
For thou hast possessed my kidneys: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that, my soul knows right well.
My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.
Therefore, how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
For thou hast possessed my kidneys: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that, my soul knows right well.
My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.
By thee have I been sustained from the womb; thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels; my praise has been continually of thee.
I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou hast made me wait upon thee since I was upon my mother’s breasts.
I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you in Christ Jesus,
Oração de bênção
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Tu és toda formosa e em ti não há defeito. Deus cuida de cada detalhe da tua vida.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee;
the Lord make his face shine upon thee and have mercy on thee;
the Lord lift up his face upon thee, and place peace in thee.
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
Strength and glory is her clothing, and she shall laugh in the last day.
Pe
She opened her mouth with wisdom, and the law of mercy is upon her tongue.
Tzaddi
Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but the woman that fears the Lord shall be praised.
Tau
Old age is a crown of glory if it is found in the way of righteousness.
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you
Sabedoria e alegria
Ensina-nos a contar os nossos dias. Deus encheu nosso cálice de alegria e o seu caminho mostra-se vida em plenitude.
Cause us to learn this that we might number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Lord, make me to know my end and the measure of my days, what it is that I may know how long I am to be of this world.
Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth, and my age is as nothing before thee; verily every man that lives is altogether vanity. Selah.
Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart in the time that their grain and their wine multiplied.
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in his temple.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will rest in the house of the Lord for ever.
Blessed be the Lord my strength, who trains my hands for the battle and my fingers for the war:
My mercy and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdues my people under me.
Now know I that the Lord has kept his anointed; he will hear him from the heavens of his holiness with the saving valour of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.
I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest the enemy visit it, I will keep it night and day.
Proteção e fidelidade
O Senhor pelejará por vós. Fiel é o Senhor que vos guarda — Ele te protege de todo mal o tempo todo.
for the Lord your God is he that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall confirm you and keep you from evil.
Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in the Christ and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith;
And blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
