O Pastor e As Ovelhas

The Shepherd and the Sheep

O Pastor e As Ovelhas

The Shepherd loves the sheepAma o Pastor as ovelhas
With a paternal loveCom um amor paternal
The Shepherd loves his flockAma o Pastor seu rebanho
With an unparalleled loveCom um amor sem igual
The Shepherd loves even othersAma o Pastor inda outras
Who are astrayQue desgarradas estão
And moved, he seeks themE comovido as procura
Wherever they may goPor onde quer que elas vão

Through the wandering desertsPelos desertos errantes
They are seen suffering a thousand painsVeem-se a sofrer penas mil
He, upon finding them, on his shouldersEle ao achá-las, nos ombros
Happily leads them to the foldLeva-as ditoso, ao redil

The Shepherd loves his lambsAma o Pastor seus cordeiros
With ineffable loveCom inefável amor
To those who, sometimes, lostAos que, às vezes, perdidos
Moaning in pain are heardGemendo se ouvem de dor
See the Shepherd movedVede o Pastor comovido
Wandering through the hillsPelas colinas vagar
And the lambs on his shouldersE os cordeiros nos ombros
See Him, leading them to safetyVede-O, levando ao lugar

He loves the ninety-nineAma as noventa e nove
That he sheltered in the foldQue no redil abrigou
He loves the one, astrayAma a que, desgarrada
That strayed in the fieldNo campo se desviou
O my lost sheep!Ó minha ovelha perdida!
The sorrowful Shepherd criesClama o dolente Pastor
Who will come to her aidQuem irá em sua ajuda
To save her, Lord?Para salvá-la, Senhor?

Your pastures are delicateSão delicados teus pastos
Your waters are very calmMui quietas tuas águas são
Here we are, oh good MasterEis-nos aqui ó bom Mestre
Give us true directionDá-nos veraz direção
Make us zealous workersFaz-nos obreiros zelosos
Fill us with holy loveEnche-nos de santo amor
For the lost sheepPelas ovelhas perdidas
Of Your fold, good LordDo Teu redil, bom Senhor
