SOBRE NÓS
POR QUE SHEMA
Shemá (שמע), é a palavra hebraica encontrada em Deuteronômio 6, convocando todo o povo de Israel a ouvir e internalizar as palavras de Deus em seus corações. Este conceito está no cerne da tradução da Bíblia, já que os tradutores e facilitadores geralmente internalizam as passagens como parte do processo de tradução.
Shema tem a ver com ouvir, honrar e aprender uns com os outros para melhor cumprir o chamado de nossa geração. Temos o compromisso de compartilhar histórias de todas as gerações e de todo o mundo, trazendo perspectiva, diversidade e unidade.
Shema é uma comunidade de prática – um espaço para conversação, cooperação e crescimento oferecido pela UofN. Convidamos os profissionais de tradução a:
-
Compartilhe testemunhos e histórias da obra de Deus por meio da tradução.
-
Compartilhe suas jornadas, aprendizados e desafios.
-
Participe de palestras, workshops e fóruns.
Estas palavras devem estar em seu coração. Fale sobre eles quando estiver sentado em casa e quando caminhar pela estrada, quando se deitar e quando se levantar.
