O Senhor é o meu pastor
O Salmo 23 é a expressão máxima da confiança em Deus como Pastor. Jesus se declarou o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas, cuida delas e dá a própria vida por elas.
O Senhor é o meu Pastor
Davi declarou com confiança que o Senhor é seu pastor e nada lhe faltará. Ele nos guia, nos restaura e nos conduz em caminhos de justiça.
(Mizmor of Dovid)
Hashem is my Ro’eh (Shepherd);
I shall not lack.
(Mizmor of Dovid)
Hashem is my Ro’eh (Shepherd);
I shall not lack.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the mei menuchot (tranquil waters).
He restoreth my nefesh;
He guideth me in the paths of tzedek l’ma’an Shmo
(righteousness for the sake of His Name).
Save Thy people, and bless Thine nachalah;
shepherd them also, and carry them ad olam.
O Bom Pastor
Jesus é o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas pelo nome. Ele dá a vida por elas, as protege e nenhuma pode ser arrebatada de sua mão.
I am the Ro’eh HaTov (the Good Shepherd). The Ro’eh HaTov lays down his neshamah for the tzon.
Ani Hu the Ro’eh HaTov, and I have da’as of my tzon and my tzon has da’as of me. Just as HaAv has da’as of me and I have da’as of HaAv, so I lay down my neshamah for the tzon. And another tzon I have which is not of this mikhla (fold); those also it is necessary for me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and they will become eder echad with Ro’eh echad (One flock with one Shepherd).
But the one entering through the derech hasha’ar is Ro’eh haTzon (Shepherd of the flock [of sheep]). To this one the doorkeeper opens, and the tzon hears the Ro’ehʼs voice and the Ro’eh calls b’shem (by name) each of his own tzon and leads them out. When the Ro’eh has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the tzon follow the Ro’eh, because they have da’as of the Ro’ehʼs voice.
For you were KULLANU KA’TZON TA’INU (all of us like sheep we went astray), for you were as sheep being led astray, but you made teshuva now to the Ro’eh and Mashgiach (Overseer) of your nefashot (souls).
After the Sar HaRo’im (Chief of Shepherds) has been manifested, you will receive the unfading Ateret HaKavod (Crown of Glory).
O cuidado pastoral de Deus
Como pastor terno e forte, Deus carrega os cordeiros nos braços e guia com cuidado as ovelhas que amamentam.
Hinei, Adonoi Hashem will come with chazak,
and His zero’a shall rule for Him;
hinei, His sachar (reward) is with Him,
and His pe’ullah (work, recompense, retribution, penal reward [for His enemies]) before Him.
He shall feed His Eder like a Ro’eh;
He shall gather the tela’im (lambs) with His zero’a,
and carry them in His kheyk,
and shall gently lead those that are with young.
