Repouso e férias
Deus criou o descanso como parte da vida. O sábado, o repouso e até as férias refletem a confiança de que Deus sustenta todas as coisas — mesmo quando paramos.
O descanso como ordenança
Deus descansou no sétimo dia e nos convidou a fazer o mesmo. O descanso sabático é um presente de Deus para restauração do corpo e da alma.
But God has promised us a Sabbath when we will rest, even though it has not yet come. On that day God’s people will rest from their work, just as God rested from his work.
But first, you must start
respecting the Sabbath
as a joyful day of worship.
You must stop doing and saying
whatever you please
on this special day.
Then you will truly enjoy
knowing the Lord.
He will let you rule
from the highest mountains
and bless you with the land
of your ancestor Jacob.
The Lord has spoken!
When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honor God.
Sono e paz
Ditar-se em paz e dormir tranquilamente é bênção do Senhor. Quem confia nele dorme sem medo e acorda renovado.
I can lie down
and sleep soundly
because you, Lord,
will keep me safe.
I sleep and wake up refreshed
because you, Lord,
protect me.
It is useless to get up early
and stay up late
in order to earn a living.
God takes care of his own,
even while they sleep.
You won’t need to worry
about dangers at night
or arrows during the day.
you will rest without a worry
and sleep soundly.
If you have to work hard for a living, you can rest well at night, even if you don’t have much to eat. But if you are rich, you can’t even sleep.
Descanso e segurança
No repouso, encontramos segurança. Deus guarda os justos, e mesmo no silêncio da noite, sua paz nos protege e restaura.
You will rest safe and secure,
filled with hope
and emptied of worry.
You will sleep without fear
and be greatly respected.
but in death they find peace
for obeying God.
