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 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.
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).
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).
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.
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.
Beni (my son), keep the mitzvat Avicha,
and forsake not the torat Immecha;
Bind them tamid (continually) upon thine lev,
and tie them about thy neck.
When thou goest, it shall guide thee;
when thou sleepest, it shall be shomer over thee;
and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
For the mitzvah is a ner (lamp); and torah an ohr;
and tokhakhot musar (reproofs of discipline) are the Derech Chayyim (Life Lane);
Hear, ye banim, the musar (instruction, discipline) of an av,
and attend to know binah (understanding).
For I give you lekach tov (good doctrine, good instruction),
forsake ye not my torah.
For I was ben to avi,
tender and yachid (an only child) before immi.
He taught me also, and said unto me,
Let thine lev retain my words;
be shomer over my mitzvot, and live.
Acquire chochmah, acquire binah (understanding); forget it not;
neither turn from the words of my peh (mouth).
Forsake her not, and she shall be shomer over thee;
love her, and she shall protect thee.
A ben chacham heareth his musar av,
but a scoffer heareth not ge’arah (scolding, rebuke).
Train up a na’ar in the derech (road) he should go,
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
The shevet (rod) and tokhakhat (reproof) give chochmah,
but a na’ar (child) left to himself bringeth immo to shame.
He that mistreateth his av, and driveth out his em,
is a ben that causeth shame, and bringeth cherpah.
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 striketh down his av, or his em, shall be surely put to death.
If an ish have a stubborn and rebellious ben, which will not obey the voice of his av, or the voice of his em, and that, when they have chastened him, will not give heed unto them; Then shall his av and his em lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the zekenim of his town, and unto the sha’ar (gate) of his place; And they shall say unto the zekenim of his town, This our ben is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a zolel (glutton) and a soveh (drunkard). And all the men of his town shall stone him with avanim (stones), that he die; so shalt thou put harah away from among you; and all Yisroel shall hear and fear.
He who curseth aviv or immo,
his ner (lamp) shall be put out in deep choshech.
For you endure nisyonos for the sake of musar. And Hashem is dealing with you as banim. For what ben is there whom an Abba does not give musar?
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.
