Deuteronomy 31

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.	1 Moisés dirigiu ainda a todo o Israel o discurso seguinte:
2 And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’	2 Eis-me hoje com a idade de cento e vinte anos; não posso mais ir e vir, e o Senhor disse-me que eu não passaria o Jordão.
3 Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.	3 O Senhor, teu Deus, passará diante de ti; ele mesmo exterminará essas nações para que possuas a sua terra. E Josué vos conduzirá, como o declarou o Senhor.
4 And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.	4 O Senhor fará a esses povos como fez a Seon e a Og, reis dos amorreus, e à sua terra, aniquilando-os.
5 Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.	5 O Senhor vo-los entregará, e vós os tratareis exatamente como vos ordenei.
6 Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”	6 Coragem! E sede fortes. Nada vos atemorize, e não os temais, porque é o Senhor vosso Deus que marcha à vossa frente: ele não vos deixará nem vos abandonará.
7 And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.	7 Moisés chamou em seguida Josué e disse-lhe em presença de todo o Israel: Mostra-te varonil e corajoso, porque entrarás com esse povo na terra que o Senhor jurou a seus pais dar-lhes, e a repartirás entre eles.
8 And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”	8 O Senhor mesmo marchará diante de ti, e estará contigo, e não te . deixará nem te abandonará. Nada temas, e não te amedrontes.
9 And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.	9 Moisés escreveu essa lei e deu-a aos sacerdotes filhos de Levi, quê levavam a arca da aliança do Senhor, bem como a todos os anciães de Israel,
10 And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,	10 dando-lhes esta ordem: Ao fim de cada sete anos, no ano da remissão, por ocasião da festa dos tabernáculos,
11 when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.	11 quando todo o Israel vier apresentar-se diante do Senhor, vosso Deus, no lugar escolhido por ele, tu farás a leitura dessa lei a todo o povo israelita.
12 And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,	12 Juntarás todo o povo num mesmo lugar, homens, mulheres, crianças e o estrangeiro que habita em tuas cidades, para que, ouvindo essa leitura, aprendam a temer o Senhor vosso Deus, e ponham cuidadosamente em prática todas as prescrições dessa lei.
13 and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”	13 Seus filhos, que delas não tiverem conhecimento, as ouvirão, e aprenderão a respeitar o Senhor, vosso Deus, em todo o tempo que viventes nesta terra, cuja posse ides tomar ao passar o Jordão.
14 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.	14 O Senhor disse a Moisés: Aproxima-se o dia de tua morte. Chama Josué e apresentai-vos na tenda de reunião, para que eu lhe dê minhas ordens. Apresentaram-se, pois, Moisés e Josué na tenda de reunião.
15 And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.	15 E o Senhor apareceu ali na coluna de fumaça, a qual parou à entrada do pavilhão.
16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.	16 O Senhor disse a Moisés: Eis que vais repousar com teus pais, e esse povo irá prostituir-se aos deuses estrangeiros, entre os quais vai habitar. Ele me abandonará e violará a aliança que fiz com ele.
17 And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’	17 Naquele dia, o meu furor se acenderá contra esse povo: eu o abandonarei e ocultar-lhe-ei a minha face, e ele será devorado, uma multidão de males e angústias virá sobre ele, o que lhe fará dizer: é certamente porque meu Deus não está mais comigo que me vêm todos estes males.
18 But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.	18 Eu, porém, ocultarei completamente a minha face naquele momento, por causa do mal que fez o povo, seguindo outros deuses.
19 And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.	19 E agora, escrevei este cântico, ensinai-o aos israelitas e ponde-o nos seus lábios, para que me sirva de testemunho contra eles.
20 For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.	20 Com efeito, quando eu os tiver introduzido na terra que mana leite e mel, que prometi a seus pais lhes dar, depois que tiverem comido, e se tiverem saciado e engordado, voltar-se-ão para outros deuses e lhes renderão culto, desprezando-me e violando a minha aliança.
21 And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”	21 Depois que tiverem caído sobre eles muitos males e angústias, deporá contra eles este cântico que seus descendentes repetirão de memória. Eu conheço as disposições que animam esse povo desde o presente, antes mesmo que o tenha introduzido na terra que lhe jurei dar.
22 Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.	22 Nesse mesmo dia, Moisés redigiu o cântico e o ensinou aos israelitas.
23 And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”	23 O Senhor deu a Josué, filho de Nun, as seguintes ordens: Mostra-te varonil e corajoso, porque tu introduzirás os israelitas na terra que lhes jurei dar; e estarei contigo.
24 Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,	24 Quando Moisés acabou de escrever todo o texto dessa lei,
25 he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:	25 deu aos levitas, que levavam a arca da aliança do Senhor, esta ordem:
26 “Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.	26 Tomai este livro da lei e colocai-o ao lado da arca da aliança do Senhor, vosso Deus, para aí servir de testemunho contra ti,
27 For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?	27 porque conheço teu espírito de revolta e sei que tens a cerviz dura. Se hoje, que ainda estou vivo no meio de vós, sois rebeldes ao Senhor, quanto mais o sereis depois de minha morte.
28 Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.	28 Reuni junto de mim todos os anciães de vossas tribos e vossos magistrados: dirigir-lhes-ei estas palavras e tomarei o céu e a terra como testemunhas contra eles.
29 For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”	29 Pois sei que depois de minha morte vos corrompereis certamente e vos desviareis do caminho que vos tracei; sei que virão males sobre vós no decorrer dos tempos, porque fareis o mal aos olhos do Senhor, irritando-o com o vosso proceder.
30 Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.	30 Então pronunciou Moisés até o fim este cântico, em presença da assembléia:
