Dia dos avós
Os avós são tesouros vivos de sabedoria e fé. A Bíblia honra os mais velhos e celebra a transmissão de fé entre gerações — dos avós aos netos e destes aos que virão.
A bênção dos avós
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. A misericórdia de Deus é de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
Sons’ sons [are] the crown of old men, || And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
And the kindness of YHWH || [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, || And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
I have been young, || I have also become old, || And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, || And his seed seeking bread.
Generation to generation praises Your works, || And they declare Your mighty acts.
For YHWH [is] good, || His kindness [is] for all time, || And His faithfulness to generation and generation!
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
Still they bring forth in old age, || They are fat and flourishing, To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, || And there is no perverseness in Him!
Grey hairs [are] a crown of beauty, || It is found in the way of righteousness.
Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, || I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, || And young men utterly stumble, But those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, || They raise up the pinion as eagles, || They run and are not fatigued, || They go on and do not faint!
Only, take heed to yourself, and watch your soul exceedingly, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all [the] days of your life; and you have made them known to your sons and to your sons’ sons.
