Nascimento de bebê
Cada bebê que nasce é uma dádiva de Deus. A Bíblia celebra o nascimento como obra das mãos do Criador, que forma cada criança no ventre com amor e propósito.
Formados por Deus
Deus tece cada bebê no ventre materno. Antes mesmo de nascer, somos conhecidos e amados pelo Criador de todas as coisas.
You created all the parts of my body;
you put the parts of my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because you made my body in a very awesome and wonderful way.
Everything that you do is amazing!
I know that very well.
When my body was being formed,
while it was being put together where no one else could see it,
you saw it!
You saw me before I was born.
You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live.
You did that before any of those days had even started!
"I knew you before I finished forming you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born, I ◄set you apart/chose you►
and I appointed you to be my prophet
whose messages would be for all nations."
Why do you not protect me now as you did when I was born?
I was safe even when I was ◄nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts►.
We do not know where the wind comes from or where it goes,
and we do not know how bodies are formed in women’s wombs.
Similarly [SIM], God is the one who made everything,
and we cannot fully understand what God does.
Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born.
Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem [MET] what he has promised to do:
He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again.
That will happen because Yahweh has said it.
Bênção e presente
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. Cada bebê é uma boa dádiva que vem do alto, do Pai das luzes, motivo de alegria e gratidão.
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;
they are a reward/blessing from him.
The truth is that God, our heavenly Father [MTY], does only good [DOU] things for us, in order to help us become all that he intends us to be. He is not like all the things in the sky that he created to give light, because they change; that is, they do not shine the same all the time. But God never changes. He is always good.
I prayed that Yahweh would enable me to give birth to a child, and this is the child whom I requested Yahweh to give me.
A woman who is about to bear a child feels pain, because that is what happens [MTY] at that time. But after her baby is born, she forgets that pain, because she is very joyful that her child has been born.
Acolher as crianças
Jesus acolheu as crianças e as abençoou. O Senhor ama cada pequenino e reserva para eles o Reino dos céus.
But when Jesus saw us scolding them, he said to us, "Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are humble and trusting like they are, who can experience God’s rule in their lives."
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them and asked God to bless them.
