Honrar os pais
Honrar pai e mãe é mandamento de Deus com promessa de vida longa e feliz. A Bíblia ensina que respeitar, obedecer e cuidar dos pais é dever sagrado dos filhos.
O mandamento com promessa
Honra a teu pai e a tua mãe para que vá bem contigo e vivas muito tempo sobre a terra. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa.
Honor thy av and thy em; that thy yamim may be long upon ha’adamah which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee.
[HEH] Honor thy av and thy em, as Hashem Eloheicha hath commanded thee; that thy yamim may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in ha’adamah which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee.
KABED ES AVICHA V’ES IMMECHA, which is the mitzvah harishonah with a havtacha, That it may be well with you and you will be a long time on ha’aretz.
Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in Adoneinu, for this is right. KABED ES AVICHA V’ES IMMECHA, which is the mitzvah harishonah with a havtacha, That it may be well with you and you will be a long time on ha’aretz. And, Avot, do not provoke your yeladim to ka’as, but nurture them in the musar of Hashem and His tokhechah (reproof).
Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Ouvir a instrução do pai e não desprezar o ensino da mãe traz sabedoria.
Beni (my son), hear the musar Avicha,
and forsake not the Torat Immecha.
Beni (my son), hear the musar Avicha,
and forsake not the Torat Immecha.
For they shall be a garland of chen unto thy rosh,
and a chain about thy neck.
Hear, ye banim, the musar (instruction, discipline) of an av,
and attend to know binah (understanding).
A ben chacham heareth his musar av,
but a scoffer heareth not ge’arah (scolding, rebuke).
Pay heed unto avicha that fathered thee,
and despise not immecha when she is old.
But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, in reply to them, said, Why [do] also you transgress the mitzvat Hashem for the sake of your own masoros? For Hashem has said, KABED ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA (honor your father and your mother), and MKALEL AVIV VIMMO MOT YUMAT (the one cursing his father and mother, to die he must die).
But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, in reply to them, said, Why [do] also you transgress the mitzvat Hashem for the sake of your own masoros? For Hashem has said, KABED ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA (honor your father and your mother), and MKALEL AVIV VIMMO MOT YUMAT (the one cursing his father and mother, to die he must die). But you say, Whoever says to his abba or his em, whatever support you might have had from me, [it is] a gift. By no means does [anyone who says this] honor his abba or em. And you nullify the Dvar Hashem on account of your masoros.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
He that mistreateth his av, and driveth out his em,
is a ben that causeth shame, and bringeth cherpah.
He who curseth aviv or immo,
his ner (lamp) shall be put out in deep choshech.
The ayin (eye) that mocketh at av,
and scorneth to obey em,
the ravens of the valley shall peck it out,
and the bnei nesher shall eat it.
And he that curseth his av, or his em, shall surely be put to death.
But of this have da’as, that in the acharit hayamim there will be terrible times, For Bnei Adam will be in love with self, ohavei kesef (lovers of money), ga’avtanim (proud boasters), speakers of lashon hora, disobedient to horim (parents), without hakarat todah (gratitude), without kedushah, Without ahavah, unforgiving and irreconcilable, without shlitah atzmi (self-control), bestial, son’ei HaTov (haters of the Good),
Cuidar dos pais
Quem não cuida dos seus, principalmente de sua família, negou a fé. Honrar os pais inclui respeitar os idosos.
But if any almanah has banim or bnei banim, let the banim or bnei banim learn first to show yirat Shomayim vis-a-vis their own bais and to render recompense to the horim (parents), for this is acceptable in the sight of Hashem.
But if anyone does not get a parnasah to provide for his own mishpochah and especially his own bais, he has denied the emunah and is worse than an Apikoros (skeptic, unbeliever).
Ye shall fear every man his em, and his av, and be shomer over My Shabbatot: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
Thou shalt rise up before the old, and honor the face of the zaken, and fear Eloheicha: I am Hashem.
