Pais e filhos
A relação entre pais e filhos é uma das mais preciosas na Bíblia. Deus estabeleceu a família como escola de fé, amor e formação de caráter.
Honrar pai e mãe
Honrar os pais é o primeiro mandamento com promessa. Os filhos são chamados a obedecer, respeitar e cuidar de seus pais.
Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.
Children, you belong to the Lord, and you do the right thing when you obey your parents. The first commandment with a promise says, "Obey your father and your mother, and you will have a long and happy life."
Children must always obey their parents. This pleases the Lord.
Pay attention to your father,
and don’t neglect your mother
when she grows old.
Disgraceful children
rob their father
and chase their mother away.
Children who curse their parents
will go to the land of darkness
long before their time.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn to serve God by taking care of her, as she once took care of them. This is what God wants them to do.
Instruir os filhos
Os pais devem instruir os filhos no caminho certo. A educação começa cedo, com disciplina amorosa e ensino constante da Palavra.
Teach your children
right from wrong,
and when they are grown
they will still do right.
Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you’re at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning.
My child, obey the teachings
of your parents,
and wear their teachings
as you would a pretty hat
or a lovely necklace.
Parents, don’t be hard on your children. Raise them properly. Teach them and instruct them about the Lord.
Parents, don’t be hard on your children. If you are, they might give up.
Correct your children,
and they will be wise;
children out of control
disgrace their mothers.
If you love your children,
you will correct them;
if you don’t love them,
you won’t correct them.
Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don’t all parents correct their children?
Filhos como bênção
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos, e a glória dos filhos são seus pais.
Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord.
Having a lot of children
to take care of you
in your old age
is like a warrior
with a lot of arrows.
The more you have,
the better off you will be,
because they will protect you
when your enemies
attack you in court.
Grandparents are proud
of their grandchildren,
and children should be proud
of their parents.
Make your father truly happy
by living right and showing
sound judgment.
Here are some proverbs
of Solomon:
Children with good sense
make their parents happy,
but foolish children
make them sad.
Which one of you fathers would give your hungry child a snake if the child asked for a fish? Which one of you would give your child a scorpion if the child asked for an egg? As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.
People who don’t take care of their relatives, and especially their own families, have given up their faith. They are worse than someone who doesn’t have faith in the Lord.
But if you don’t want to worship the Lord, then choose here and now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you’re living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you’ll worship their gods. I won’t. My family and I are going to worship and obey the Lord!
That’s why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.
Parents must not be put to death for crimes committed by their children, and children must not be put to death for crimes committed by their parents. Don’t put anyone to death for someone else’s crime.
Moses said to Israel:
