Obediência aos pais
A obediência aos pais é mandamento divino com promessa de vida longa. A Bíblia valoriza a honra filial e ensina os filhos a respeitar e obedecer aos pais com amor.
Honrar pai e mãe
O quinto mandamento ordena honrar pai e mãe. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa: para que vá bem e vivas muito na terra.
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.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you, and in order that things will go well for you there.
God gave these two commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
You children, because you ◄belong to/have a close relationship with► the Lord Jesus, obey your parents, because it is right for you to do that. God commanded in the Scriptures,
Greatly respect your father and mother.
That is the first law that God commanded in which he also promised something. He promised,
If you do that, you will prosper, and you will live a long time.
You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in the manner that the Lord Jesus wants you to do.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
Children, obey your parents in every circumstance; parents, do not over-correct your children.
You children, obey your parents in every circumstance, because the Lord God is pleased when you do that.
Warnings about sinful people
My son, pay attention to what I, your father, am teaching you.
And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
What we teach you will make you respected like having a lovely turban around your head
and like a beautiful necklace to put around your neck.
More warnings about adultery
My son, obey my commands,
and do not ignore what your mother has taught you.
Remember the things that we have said.
Those things should be like a beautiful necklace around your neck.
If you follow our advice, it will be as though what we have taught you [PRS] will lead you, wherever you go.
When you sleep, they will protect you.
And when you wake up in the morning, they will teach/instruct you.
These commands and what we teach you will be like a lamp to light your path [MET].
When we rebuke you and correct/punish you,
we will be showing you the road to having a good life.
Advice to young people
My children, listen to what I am teaching you.
If you pay attention, you will understand what is wise.
What I am teaching you is good,
so do not turn away from it.
When I was a young boy, loved by my mother,
my father told me, "Remember my words;
if you obey my commandments,
you will live a long time.
Obtain wisdom and understanding,
and ◄do not abandon/hold fast to► [LIT] what I have taught you.
Do not turn away from wisdom,
because if you are wise, you will be protected from all evil/danger.
If you love wisdom, wisdom [PRS] will guard you.
Children who are wise ◄pay attention/heed it► when their parents discipline/correct them;
but foolish children do not pay attention when someone rebukes them for their bad behavior.
If you train/teach children to do what is right,
all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
If children are punished/spanked and reproved/warned,
they become wise;
but if they are allowed to do whatever they want to do,
they do things that cause their mothers to be ashamed of them.
Anyone who mistreats/abuses his father or forces his mother to leave the home
is a child who is acting shamefully and disgracefully.
Those who [SYN] make fun of their fathers
or refuse to obey their mothers (OR, despise their aged mothers)
should die and have their eyes pecked out by crows,
and the rest of their corpses should be fed to the vultures.
Anyone who strikes his father or mother must surely be executed.
A rebellious son
"Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always ◄rebelling against/disobeying► his parents, and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY]. If that happens, his parents must take him to the ◄gate of/central meeting place in► the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city. Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’ Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear about what happened and they will be afraid to do what he did."
If someone curses his father or his mother,
his life will be ended, just like a lamp is extinguished.
Since our sufferings are to discipline us, if we have not experienced God’s discipline we are not his true children. We should accept God’s discipline, because it is always to help us.
It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things that happen to you. When God disciplines you he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
If a widow has children or grandchildren, these children or grandchildren should learn that they are to take care of their own family first. By doing that they can repay their parents and grandparents for all that they did for them when they were young, because doing that pleases God.
