Dia dos pais
O Dia dos Pais celebra o amor e o sacrifício paterno. A Bíblia honra os pais como provedores, protetores e guias espirituais que moldam as próximas gerações.
O pai que educa
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. O pai justo educa com amor, firmeza e o exemplo de uma vida íntegra.
If you train/teach children to do what is right,
all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.
Those who do not punish their children for bad behavior do not really love them;
those who love their children start to discipline them when the children are still young.
If parents conduct their lives as they should,
God blesses their children (OR, their children are very happy/fortunate).
Righteous children will cause their parents to be very happy;
those whose children are wise are proud of them.
Those who revere Yahweh are confident that he will protect them,
and their family will also be protected.
Honra e alegria
Honra a teu pai e tua mãe. Os filhos são herança do Senhor, e a família que serve a Deus junta é inabalável.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;
they are a reward/blessing from him.
If a man has sons while he is still young,
when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family
like [SIM] a soldier can defend himself if he has a bow and arrows in his hand.
A man who has many sons is very happy,
like [MET] a soldier who has many arrows in his quiver is very happy.
If a man with his many grown sons is taken by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man,
because his sons will help to defend him.
But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what gods you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, serve/worship. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!"
I give you my final instructions, greetings from others, and my final blessings.
Be on guard against anything that would hinder you spiritually. You have believed the true message; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong in your relationship with God.
So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him on the cheek. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of you calling me} your son.’ But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe in the house! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger to show that I am honoring him again as my son! Put sandals on his feet to show that I do not consider him to be a slave! Then bring the fat calf and kill it and cook it. We (inc) must eat and celebrate,
