Língua
A língua tem poder de vida e de morte. A Bíblia compara a língua ao leme de um navio e à faísca que incendeia uma floresta. Dominar a língua é prova de maturidade espiritual.
O poder da língua
A morte e a vida estão no poder da língua. Quem a domina é varão perfeito, capaz de controlar todo o corpo.
Mavet and chayyim are in the power of the lashon,
and they that love it shall eat the p’ri (fruit) thereof.
For all of us stumble variously. If anyone as far as lashon hora is concerned, does not stumble, this one is an ish tamim able to bridle also the entire guf (body).
And if we put bits into the mouths of susim (horses) to bring them into mishma’at (obedience), in just this way we direct their whole gufot (bodies). Hinei, also the oniyot (ships), even though gedolot and driven by gales, are guided by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the one steering directs. So also the lashon (tongue), an evar katon (small member) speaks of RAVREVAN (boastful things).
Hinei, an eish ketanah (small fire) and yet how great a forest it can set ablaze! And the lashon is an Eish, the lashon is made an Olam HaAvel (World of Iniquity) among our evarim (members), defiling with a stain kol haGuf (whole body), and setting ablaze the course of life, and is itself set by eish in Gehinnom.
For every species both of wild animals and birds, reptiles and marine creatures is tamed and has been tamed by humankind. But the Lashon no one of Bnei Adam is able to tame, an uncontrollable ra’ah (evil), full of deadly zuhamah (contamination).
With this we say a bracha to Hashem, Adoneinu and Avoteinu, and with this we put a kelalah (curse) on Bnei Adam, who have been created according to the demut Elohim. Out of the same PEH comes forth bracha and also kelalah. My Achim b’Moshiach, these things ought not to be. Surely not out of the same makor (fountain) pours forth mayim both sweet and bitter? Surely an etz te’enah (fig tree) cannot yield olives, my Achim b’Moshiach, or a grape vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet water.
Palavras sábias
A língua branda quebra até ossos. A palavra certa no tempo certo é como maçãs de ouro em salvas de prata.
By forbearance is a katzin (ruler) persuaded,
and a gentle lashon breaketh the bone.
There is one who speaketh rash words like the wounding of a cherev,
but the lashon of the chachamim promotes marpeh (healing).
The lip of emes shall be established forever,
but a lashon sheker is but for a moment.
In the multitude of devarim there wanteth not sin,
but he that restraineth his sfatayim (lips) is maskil (wise).
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted chacham,
and he that shutteth his sfatayim (lips) is esteemed a man of understanding.
Disciplinar a fala
Quem guarda a boca e a língua guarda a sua alma de angústias. A religião sem controle da língua é vã.
If anyone considers himself to be one of the Charedim [Orthodox, G-d-fearing Jewish religious ones], yet has lashon hora and does not bridle his tongue but instead causes his lev to fall under remiyah (deceit), this oneʼs chasidus (piety) is worthless.
(For the one directing, even to Yedutun. Mizmor Dovid)
Come, ye banim, pay heed unto me;
I will teach you the fear of Hashem.
What ish is he that desireth chayyim,
and loveth many days, that he may see tov?
The mouth of the tzaddik speaketh chochmah,
and his leshon uttereth mishpat.
The torat Elohav is in his lev;
no steps of his shall slip.
And my leshon (tongue) shall speak of Thy tzedek (righteousness)
and of Thy tehillah (praise) kol hayom (all the day).
For there is not a milah (word) in my leshon,
but, lo, Hashem, Thou knowest it altogether.
Save my nefesh, Hashem, from sefat sheker (lying lips),
and from lashon remiyyah (a tongue of deceit).
They speak vanity every one with his re’a (neighbor);
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
Hashem shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the leshon that speaketh gedolot;
I would hasten to my place of shelter
from the ruach so’ah (wind of the tempest) and storm.
Toda língua confessará
Ao nome de Jesus todo joelho se dobrará e toda língua confessará que Jesus Cristo é Senhor, para glória de Deus Pai.
Therefore, also Hashem exalted Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and gave to him haShem above every name, That at haShem of Yehoshua, KOL BERECH (every knee) will bow, of beings b’Shomayim and ba’Aretz and mitachat la’Aretz (in the world below), And KOL LASHON (every tongue) shall make hoda’ah (confession) with an Ani Ma’amin that is an open and public admission that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) is Adoneinu, to the kavod of Elohim Avinu.
If in the leshonot of Bnei Adam and malachim I speak, but I do not have ahavah, I have become only a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
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 by your devarim you will be pronounced tzodek (righteous), and by your devarim you will be charged with guilt.
And Hashem came down to see the Ir and the Migdal, which Bnei HaAdam built. And Hashem said, See, the Am is echad and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be impossible for them, which they have proposed to do. Come, let Us go down, and there confuse their sefat, that they may not understand one anotherʼs language. So Hashem scattered them abroad from there upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz; and they left off building the Ir. Therefore is the shem of it called Bavel; because Hashem did there confuse the language of kol Ha’Aretz; and from there did Hashem scatter them abroad upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz.
