Salmos, 106

1. Aleluia. Louvai o Senhor, porque ele é bom. Porque eterna é a sua misericórdia.*

1. Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!

2. Assim o dizem aqueles que o Senhor resgatou, aqueles que ele livrou das mãos do opressor,

2. Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or show forth all his praise?

3. assim como os que congregou de todos os países, do oriente e do ocidente, do norte e do sul.

3. Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!

4. Erravam na solidão do deserto, sem encontrar caminho de cidade habitável.

4. Remember me, O LORD, when thou showest favor to thy people; help me when thou deliverest them;

5. Consumidos de fome e de sede, sentiam desfalecer-lhes a vida.

5. that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thy heritage.

6. Em sua angústia clamaram então ao Senhor, ele os livrou de suas tribulações

6. Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7. e os conduziu pelo bom caminho, para chegarem a uma cidade habitável.

7. Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider thy wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of thy steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.

8. Agradeçam ao Senhor por sua bondade, e por suas grandes obras em favor dos homens,

8. Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power.

9. porque dessedentou a garganta sequiosa, e cumulou de bens a que tinha fome.

9. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

10. Outros estavam nas trevas e na sombra da morte, prisioneiros na miséria e em ferros,

10. So he saved them from the hand of the foe, and delivered them from the power of the enemy.

11. por se haverem revoltado contra as ordens de Deus e terem desprezado os desígnios do Altíssimo.

11. And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.

12. Pelo sofrimento lhes humilhara o coração, sucumbiam sem que ninguém os socorresse.

12. Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

13. Em sua angústia clamaram então para o Senhor, e ele os livrou de suas tribulações.

13. But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.

14. Tirou-os das trevas e da sombra da morte, quebrou-lhes os grilhões.

14. But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;

15. Agradeçam ao Senhor por sua bondade, e por suas grandes obras em favor dos homens.

15. he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.

16. Ele arrombou as portas de bronze, e despedaçou os ferrolhos de ferro.

16. When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

17. Outros, enfermos por causa de seu mau proceder, eram feridos por causa de seus pecados.

17. the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abi'ram.

18. Todo alimento lhes causava náuseas, chegaram às portas da morte.

18. Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19. Em sua angústia clamaram então ao Senhor; ele os livrou de suas tribulações.

19. They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image.

20. Enviou a sua palavra para curá-los, para os arrancar da morte.

20. They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

21. Agradeçam ao Senhor por sua bondade, e por suas grandes obras em favor dos homens.

21. They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

22. Ofereçam sacrifícios de ação de graças, e proclamem alegremente as suas obras.

22. wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.

23. Os que se fizeram ao mar, para trafegar nas muitas águas,

23. Therefore he said he would destroy them -- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

24. foram testemunhas das obras do Senhor e de suas maravilhas no alto-mar.

24. Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.

25. Sua palavra levantou tremendo vento, que impeliu para o alto as suas ondas.

25. They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.

26. Subiam até os céus, desciam aos abismos, suas almas definhavam em angústias.

26. Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

27. Titubeavam e cambaleavam como ébrios, e toda a sua perícia se esvaiu.

27. and would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them over the lands.

28. Em sua agonia clamaram então ao Senhor, e ele os livrou da tribulação.

28. Then they attached themselves to the Ba'al of Pe'or, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

29. Transformou a tempestade em leve brisa, e as ondas do mar silenciaram.

29. they provoked the LORD to anger with their doings, and a plague broke out among them.

30. E se alegraram porque elas amainaram, e os conduziu ao desejado porto.

30. Then Phin'ehas stood up and interposed, and the plague was stayed.

31. Agradeçam eles ao Senhor por sua bondade, e por suas grandes obras em favor dos homens.

31. And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness from generation to generation for ever.

32. Celebrem-no na assembleia do povo, e o louvem no conselho dos anciãos.

32. They angered him at the waters of Mer'ibah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

33. Transformou rios em deserto, e fontes de água em terra árida.

33. for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke words that were rash.

34. Converteu o solo fértil em salinas, por causa da malícia de seus habitantes.

34. They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,

35. Mudou o deserto em lençol de água, e a terra árida em abundantes fontes.

35. but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.

36. Aí fez habitar os esfaimados, que fundaram uma cidade para morar.

36. They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

37. E semearam os campos e plantaram vinhas, colhendo deles abundantes frutos.

37. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

38. E os abençoou: eles se multiplicaram grandemente, e lhes concedeu rebanhos numerosos.

38. they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

39. Depois seu número se reduziu e caíram na miséria, sob a opressão, a desgraça e o sofrimento.

39. Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the harlot in their doings.

40. Mas aquele que lança seu desprezo sobre os grandes, e os faz errar por intransitáveis desertos,

40. Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;

41. [Deus] soergueu o pobre da miséria, multiplicando famílias como rebanhos.

41. he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.

42. À vista disso os justos se alegram, e toda a maldade deve fechar a boca.

42. Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.

43. Quem é sábio para julgar estas coisas e compreender as misericórdias do Senhor?

43. Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.

44.

44. Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

45.

45. He remembered for their sake his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

46.

46. He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.

47.

47. Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to thy holy name and glory in thy praise.

48.

48. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD!
