Órfãos
Deus tem um cuidado especial pelos órfãos. Ele se apresenta como pai dos que não têm pai e defensor dos desamparados, e ordena a seu povo que faça o mesmo.
Deus, pai dos órfãos
O Senhor é pai dos órfãos e protetor das viúvas. Ele sustenta os que perderam amparo humano e cuida deles com ternura.
Our God, you are the one
who rides on the clouds,
and we praise you.
Your name is the Lord,
and we celebrate
as we worship you.
Our God, from your sacred home
you take care of orphans
and protect widows.
and looks after strangers.
He defends the rights
of orphans and widows,
but destroys the wicked.
Be fair to the poor
and to orphans.
Defend the helpless
and everyone in need.
I won’t leave you like orphans. I will come back to you.
O chamado da justiça
A religião pura é visitar órfãos e viúvas em suas aflições. Deus ordena a defesa do necessitado e o cuidado com os mais frágeis.
Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. You must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil.
and learn to live right.
See that justice is done.
Defend widows and orphans
and help the oppressed."
So once again, I, the Lord All-Powerful, tell you, "See that justice is done and be kind and merciful to one another! Don’t mistreat widows or orphans or foreigners or anyone who is poor, and stop making plans to hurt each other."
Do not mistreat widows or orphans. If you do, they will beg for my help, and I will come to their rescue. In fact, I will get so angry that I will kill your men and make widows of their wives and orphans of their children.
When poor people or orphans
cried out for help,
I came to their rescue.
And I was highly praised
for my generosity to widows
and others in poverty.
