Consequências dos nossos atos
Toda ação tem consequências. A Bíblia ensina que colhemos o que semeamos — para o bem e para o mal. Deus pesará cada palavra e ato no dia do juízo.
Colher o que semear
Cada um prestará contas de si mesmo a Deus. O Senhor julgará as obras e os segredos dos homens com justiça perfeita.
So then each of us will give account of himself to Hashem.
Who will render L’ISH K’MA’A’SEI HU [13] (to each according to his works).
To those who, by savlanut (patience), persevere in doing hatov (the good), seek for kavod (glory) and honor and incorruptibility, He will give Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life). But to those who are self-seeking and who have no mishma’at (obedience) to HaEmes Hashem, but instead have mishma’at to resha, there will be Charon Af Hashem and fury. There will be affliction and distress on every living neshamah who brings about what is rah (evil), Yehudi above all and Yevani (Greek) as well. But tiferet and kavod and shalom to everyone who brings about what is tov (good), Yehudi above all and Yevani as well. For ki ein masso panim im Hashem (there is no partiality with Hashem).
And the mattanah (free gift) is not like the effect of that one Adamʼs averah. For the mishpat (judgment) is from one averah (transgression) to the gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), to harsha’ah (condemnation as guilty); but the effect of the unmerited Chen v’Chesed Hashem is from averot rabbot (many transgressions) to zikkuy (acquittal), to that of being YITZDAK IM HASHEM ("justified with G-d," i.e., acquittal, justification with Hashem of the Many). For if by the averah (transgression) of the one, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme through the one Adam, how much more those, who receive the abundance of unmerited Chen v’Chesed Hashem (grace) and of the Matnat HaTzedakah (the gift of righteousness), shall reign in life through the one Adam, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
Judge not lest you be judged. For with what gezar din (verdict) you judge, you will be judged, and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
But I say to you, that for every careless lashon horah (evil speech) that men speak, they will be called to account on the Yom HaDin (the Day of Judgment).
For the Dvar Hashem is chai (living) and chazak (strong), sharper than every double-edged cherev and penetrating as far as the division of nefesh and ruach, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the machshavot and deliberations of the kavanat halev (the inner directedness of the heart). And there is not nivra (anything created) nistar (hidden) from His sight, but all things are laid bare and exposed to the eynayim (eyes) of Him to whom we must render an account.
Responsabilidade pessoal
Quem é sábio prevê o perigo e se esconde. A Palavra examina os pensamentos e intenções do coração.
A prudent man foreseeth the ra’ah, and hideth himself,
but the naïve trudge on, and are punished.
If thou be chacham, thou shalt be wise for thyself,
but if thou mockest, thou alone shalt suffer.
It is a mokesh adam to devote rashly as kodesh,
and after nedarim (vows) to reconsider his consecration.
And if a nefesh sin, after he hears a public adjuration to give testimony, and he is an ed (witness), whether he hath seen or known of it; if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his avon (iniquity).
And if a nefesh sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the mitzvot Hashem; though he know it not, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his avon (iniquity).
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine lev; thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear chet because of him.
Consequências inevitáveis
A terra deu seu fruto conforme as obras dos que nela habitam. Ninguém escapa do juízo — Deus pesa cada ação.
Notwithstanding ha’aretz shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein,
for the fruit of their doings.
And they shall bring your zimmah (lewdness) upon you, and ye shall bear sins of your gillulim (idols); and ye shall know that I am Adonoi Hashem.
And surely your dahm of your nefeshot will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the yad haAdam; at the hand of every manʼs brother will I require the nefesh haAdam.
For why doth the reshah renounce Elohim?
He hath said in his lev, Thou wilt not call me to account.
Thou hast seen it; for Thou beholdest trouble and ka’as (grief),
to requite it with Thy yad;
the helpless committeth himself unto Thee;
Thou art the Ozer (helper) of the yatom (orphan).
