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.
Old people are usually proud of [MET] their grandchildren,
just like children are usually proud of their parents.
But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever
all those who revere him.
He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
I was young previously, and now I am an old man,
but in all those years, I have never seen righteous/godly people being abandoned by Yahweh,
nor have I seen that their children needed to beg for food.
Parents should tell their children the things that you have done;
they should tell their children about your mighty deeds.
because Yahweh always does good things for us.
He faithfully loves us,
and ◄is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us►.
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
Even when righteous people become old, they do many things [IDM] that please God.
They remain strong and full of energy, like trees that [MET] remain full of sap.
That shows that Yahweh is just;
he is like a huge rock under which I am safe/protected,
and he never does anything that is wicked/wrong.
Gray hair is like a glorious crown [MET]
that is given to people who have always behaved righteously.
I will be your God, and I will carry you for many years,
until it is as though [MET] your nation is an old man with gray hair.
I caused you to become a nation,
and I will sustain you and rescue you.
Even youths become faint and weary,
and young men will fall when they are exhausted.
But those who trust in Yahweh will become strong again;
it will be as though they will soar/fly high like [SIM] eagles do.
They will run for a long time and not become weary;
they will walk long distances and not faint.
"But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen God do. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
