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.
24 This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.
1 Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to YahwehFor he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings:
1 It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;
5 For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, tis a Shout of Triumph!
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
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.
13 For, thou, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.14 I thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing intently!15 My substance was not hid from thee,when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.16 Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written,the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.17 To me, then, how precious have thy desires become, O GOD! How numerous, the heads of them!
13 For, thou, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.14 I thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing intently!15 My substance was not hid from thee,when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.16 Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written,the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.
6 Upon thee, have I stayed myself from birth, Thou art he that severed me, from the body of my mother, Of thee, shall be my praisecontinually.
10 Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.
9 For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;10 Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.
4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto 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.
24 Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee:25 Yahweh cause his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee:26 Yahweh lift up his face unto thee, and appoint unto thee peace.
7 Thou art, all over, beautiful, my fair one, and, blemish, is there none in thee.
25 Strength and dignity, are her clothing, and she laugheth at the time to come:26 Her mouth, she openeth with wisdom, and, the instruction of kindness, is on her tongue:
30 Deceitful is loveliness and vain is beauty, The woman that revereth Yahweh, she, shall be praised:
31 A crown of adorning, is a hoary head, in the way of righteousness, it should be found.
3 I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my 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.
12 How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
4 Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my dayswhat it is, I would know how short-lived I am.5 Lo! as hand-breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life-time, is as nothing before thee,Surely, a mere breath, are all men, such as stand firm. Selah.
11 Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life,Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
6 Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
1 Blessed be Yahweh, my Rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight:2 My lovingkindness and my stronghold, my high tower and my deliverermine! My buckler, and he in whom I have sought refuge,He that subdueth my people under me.
6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One,He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.
3 IYahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her,Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
Proteção e fidelidade
O Senhor pelejará por vós. Fiel é o Senhor que vos guarda — Ele te protege de todo mal o tempo todo.
4 For Yahweh your God, is he that is going with you,to fight for you against your enemies to save you.
3 Faithful, is the Lord,who will confirm you, and guard you from the wicked one:
14 But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,
7 The noble contest, have I contested, the race, have I finished, the faith, have I kept:
45 And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!
