John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
No princípio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Ele estava no princípio com Deus.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Todas as coisas foram feitas por ele, e sem ele nada, do que foi feito, se fez.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Nele estava a vida, e a vida era a luz dos homens;
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
E a luz resplandece nas trevas, e as trevas não a compreenderam.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Houve um homem enviado de Deus, cujo nome era João.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Este veio para testemunho, para que testificasse da luz; para que todos cressem por ele.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Não era ele a luz; mas para que testificasse da luz.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Este era a luz verdadeira, que alumia a todo o homem que vem ao mundo.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
Estava no mundo, e o mundo foi feito por ele, e o mundo não o conheceu.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Veio para o que era seu, e os seus não o receberam.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Mas, a todos quantos o receberam, deu-lhes o poder de serem feitos filhos de Deus, a saber, aos que crêem no seu nome;
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Os quais não nasceram do sangue, nem da vontade da carne, nem da vontade do varão, mas de Deus.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
E o Verbo se fez carne, e habitou entre nós, e vimos a sua glória, como a glória do unigênito do Pai, cheio de graça e de verdade.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
João testificou dele; e clamou, dizendo: Este era aquele de quem eu dizia: O que vem depois de mim é antes de mim, porque era primeiro do que eu.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
E todos nós recebemos também da sua plenitude, e graça por graça.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Porque a lei foi dada por Moisés; a graça e a verdade vieram por Jesus Cristo.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Deus nunca foi visto por alguém. O Filho unigênito, que está no seio do Pai, ele no-lo declarou.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
E este é o testemunho de João, quando os judeus mandaram de Jerusalém sacerdotes e levitas para que lhe perguntassem: Quem és tu
20 He declared, and did not deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
E confessou, e não negou; confessou: Eu não sou o Cristo.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
E perguntaram-lhe: Pois que? És tu Elias? E disse: Não sou. És tu profeta? E respondeu: Não.
22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Disseram-lhe pois: Quem és? para que demos resposta àqueles que nos enviaram; que dizes de ti mesmo?
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Disse: Eu sou a voz do que clama no deserto: endireitai o caminho do Senhor, como disse o profeta Isaias.
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
E os que tinham sido enviados eram dos fariseus;
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
E perguntaram-lhe, e disseram-lhe: Porque batizas pois, se tu não és o Cristo, nem Elias, nem o profeta?
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
João respondeu-lhes, dizendo: Eu batizo com água; mas no meio de vós está um a quem vós não conheceis.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen.”
Este é aquele que vem após mim, que já foi antes de mim, do qual eu não sou digno de desatar a correia da alparca.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Estas coisas aconteceram em Bethania, da outra banda do Jordão, onde João estava batizando.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
No dia seguinte João viu a Jesus, que vinha para ele, e disse: Eis aqui o Cordeiro de Deus, que tira o pecado do mundo.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Este é aquele do qual eu disse: Após mim vem um varão que já foi antes de mim; porque já era primeiro do que eu.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
E eu não o conhecia; mas, para que fosse manifestado a Israel, por isso vim eu batizando com água.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
E João testificou, dizendo: Eu vi o espírito descer do céu como uma pomba, e repousar sobre ele.
33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
E eu não o conhecia, mas o que me mandou a batizar com água esse me disse: Sobre aquele que vires descer o espírito, e repousar sobre ele, esse é o que batiza com o Espírito Santo.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
E eu vi, e tenho testificado que este é o Filho de Deus.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
No dia seguinte João estava outra vez ali, e dois dos seus discípulos;
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
E, vendo por ali andar a Jesus, disse: Eis aqui o Cordeiro de Deus.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
E os dois discípulos ouviram-no dizer isto, e seguiram a Jesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
E Jesus, voltando-se e vendo que eles o seguiam, disse-lhes: Que buscais? E eles lhe disseram: rabi, (que, traduzido, quer dizer, Mestre) onde moras?
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Ele lhes disse: Vinde, e vede. Foram, e viram onde morava, e ficaram com ele aquele dia: e era já quase a hora décima.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Era André, irmão de Simão Pedro, um dos dois que ouviram aquilo de João, e o haviam seguido.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Este achou primeiro a seu irmão Simão, e disse-lhe: Já achamos o Messias (que, traduzido, é o Christo).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
E levou-o a Jesus. E, olhando Jesus para ele, disse: Tu és Simão, filho de Jonas; tu serás chamado Cephas (que quer dizer Pedro).
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
No dia seguinte quis Jesus ir à Galiléia, e achou a Felipe, e disse-lhe: Segue-me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
E Felipe era de Betsaida, cidade de André e de Pedro.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Felipe achou Nathanael, e disse-lhe: Havemos achado aquele de quem Moisés escreveu na lei, e os profetas, a saber: Jesus de Nazareth, filho de José.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Disse-lhe Nathanael: Pode vir alguma coisa boa de Nazareth? Disse-lhe Felipe: Vem, e vê.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Jesus viu Nathanael vir ter com ele, e disse dele: Eis aqui um verdadeiro israelita, em quem não há dolo.
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Disse-lhe Nathanael: de onde me conheces tu? Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Antes que Felipe te chamasse, te vi eu, estando tu debaixo da figueira.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Nathanael respondeu, e disse-lhe: rabi, tu és o Filho de Deus, tu és o Rei de Israel.
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Porque te disse: Vi-te debaixo da figueira, crês? coisas maiores do que estas verás.
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
E disse-lhe: Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que daqui em diante vereis o céu aberto, e os anjos de Deus subirem e descerem sobre o Filho do homem.
