Above/about all things
For God's sake,
Don't you see it's a sin to disdain the one who cares for you?
Don't you see that even God becomes angry as he sees
somebody abandoned like this? For God's sake
To our Lord,
Ask him, if he created the splendor from the dark,
Ask him, If all things - the man, the woman, the animal, the flower -
Were created to worship the Creator,
and also, if the Creator
Invented the creature - I beg you,
Ask him If he created someone from mud with so much love,
So this one should love Him only
No, Our Lord
Surely has not put Earth and Sky in motion ,
Neither has he made the stars, that drift through the firmament like a carrousel,
So they had to revolve around Him.
Or is it just that this god
Who conceived desire in us is really so cruel,
Showing us valleys of milk and honey flowing fountains ,
Valleys which are of his ownership?
For God's sake
Don't you see it's a sin to disdain the one who cares for you
Don't you see that even God becomes angry when he sees
somebody abandoned like this, for God's sake

If there is no pause between "abandonado" and "pelo amor de Deus", this gives as an interesting interpretation:
Abandonado pelo amor de Deus
Someone abandoned by the love of God = (the love he himself created)
