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 made; make we full out joy, and be we glad therein.
Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
My soul, bless thou the Lord; and do not thou forget all the yieldings of him.
The psalm of song, in the day of sabbath. It is good to acknowledge to the Lord; and to sing to thy name, thou Highest.
To show early thy mercy; and thy truth by night.
For ire is in his indignation; and life is in his will. Weeping shall dwell at eventide; and gladness at the morrowtide.
Most dear brother, of all things I make prayer, that thou enter, and fare wealfully, as thy soul doeth wealfully.
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 haddest in possession my reins; thou tookest me up from the womb of my mother.
I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou art magnified dreadfully; thy works be wonderful, and my soul shall know that full much.
My bone, which thou madest in private, is not hid from thee; and my substance formed in the lower parts of [the] earth.
Thine eyes saw mine unperfect thing, and all men shall be written in thy book; days shall be formed, and no man is in those [or them].
Forsooth, God, thy friends be made honourable full much to me; the prince-hood of them is comforted full much.
For thou haddest in possession my reins; thou tookest me up from the womb of my mother.
I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou art magnified dreadfully; thy works be wonderful, and my soul shall know that full much.
My bone, which thou madest in private, is not hid from thee; and my substance formed in the lower parts of [the] earth.
Thine eyes saw mine unperfect thing, and all men shall be written in thy book; days shall be formed, and no man is in those [or them].
In thee I am confirmed, that is, defended, from the womb; thou art my defender from the womb of my mother. My singing is ever[more] in thee;
into thee I am cast forth from the womb. From the womb of my mother thou art my God;
For thou it art that drewest me out of the womb, that art mine hope from the teats of my mother;
into thee I am cast forth from the womb. From the womb of my mother thou art my God;
I do thankings to my God ever-more for you, in the grace of God that is given to 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 show his face to thee, and have mercy upon thee;
the Lord turn his cheer to thee, and give peace to thee.
My love, thou art all-fair, and no wem is in thee.
Strength and fairness is the clothing of her; and she shall laugh in the last day.
She opened her mouth to wisdom; and the law of mercy is in her tongue.
Fairness is deceivable grace, and vain; that woman, that dreadeth the Lord, [she] shall be praised.
A crown of dignity is eld age, that shall be found in the ways of rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
I do thankings to my God in all mind 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.
Make thy right hand so known; and make men learned in heart by wisdom.
Lord, make thou mine end known to me. And the number of my days, what it is; that I know, what faileth to me.
Lo! thou hast set [or put] my days measurable; and my substance is as nought before thee. Nevertheless all vanity; each man living.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt [full-]fill me with gladness with thy cheer; delight-ings be in thy right half unto the end.
thou hast given gladness in mine heart. They be multiplied of the fruit of wheat, and of wine; and of their oil.
I asked of the Lord one thing; I shall seek this thing; that I dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I see the will of the Lord; and that I visit his temple.
And thy mercy shall follow me; in all the days of my life. And that I dwell in the house of the Lord; into the length of days.
A psalm of David. Blessed be my Lord God, that teacheth mine hands to war; and my fingers to battle.
My mercy, and my refuge; my taker-up, and my deliverer. My defender, and I hoped in him; and thou makest subject my people under me.
now I have known, that the Lord hath made safe his christ. He shall hear him from his holy heaven; the health of his right hand is in powers.
These, that is, adversaries, trust in chariots, and these in horses; but we shall inwardly call in the name of our Lord God.
They be bound, and felled down; but we have risen, and be raised.
I am the Lord that keep that vinery; suddenly I shall give drink to it, lest peradventure it be visited against it; night and day I keep it,
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 your Lord God is in the midst of you, and he shall fight for you against your adversaries, that he deliver you from peril.
But the Lord is true, that shall confirm you, and shall keep [us] from evil.
And I do thankings to God, that evermore maketh us to have victory in Christ Jesus, and showeth by us the odour, [or savour, or sweetness], of his knowing in each place;
I have striven a good strife, I have ended the course, I have kept the faith.
And blessed be thou, that hast believed, for those things that be said of [or from] the Lord to thee, shall be perfectly done.
