John 11
1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Estava então enfermo um certo Lázaro, de Bethania, aldeia de Maria e de Martha, sua irmã.
2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
E Maria era a que ungiu o Senhor com unguênto, e lhe enxugou os pés com os seus cabelos; cujo irmão Lázaro estava enfermo.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
Mandaram-lhe pois suas irmãs dizer: Senhor, eis que está enfermo aquele que tu amas.
4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
E Jesus, ouvindo isto, disse: Esta enfermidade não é para morte, mas para glória de Deus; para que o Filho de Deus seja glorificado por ela.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Ora Jesus amava a Martha, e a sua irmã e a Lázaro.
6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
Ouvindo pois que estava enfermo, ficou ainda dois dias no lugar onde estava.
7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
Depois disto, disse aos seus discípulos: Vamos outra vez para a Judeia.
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
Dizem-lhe os discípulos: rabi, ainda agora os judeus procuravam apedrejar-te, e tornas para lá?
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
Jesus respondeu: Não há doze horas no dia? Se alguém andar de dia, não tropeça, porque vê a luz deste mundo;
10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
Mas, se alguém andar de noite, tropeça, porque nele não há luz.
11 After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
Isto falou; e depois disse-lhes: Lázaro, o nosso amigo, dorme, mas vou desperta-lo do sono.
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
Disseram pois os seus discípulos: Senhor, se dorme, estará salvo.
13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
Mas Jesus dizia isto da sua morte; eles, porém, cuidavam que falava do repouso do dormir.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
Então pois Jesus disse-lhes claramente: Lázaro está morto;
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
E folgo, por amor de vós, de que eu lá não estivesse, para que acrediteis: porém vamos ter com ele.
16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
Disse pois Tomé, chamado Didimo, aos condiscípulos: Vamos nós também, para morrermos com ele.
17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
Chegando pois Jesus, achou que já havia quatro dias que estava na sepultura
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
(Ora Bethania distava de Jerusalém quase quinze estadios).
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
E muitos dos judeus tinham ido consolar a Martha e a Maria, acerca de seu irmão.
20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
Ouvindo pois Martha que Jesus vinha, saiu-lhe ao encontro: Maria, porém, ficou assentada em casa.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Disse pois Martha a Jesus: Senhor, se tu estivesses aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.
22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
Mas também agora sei que tudo quanto pedires a Deus Deus to dará.
23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
Disse-lhe Jesus: Teu irmão há de resuscitar.
24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Disse-lhe Martha: Eu sei que há de resuscitar na ressurreição do último dia.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida; quem crê em mim, ainda que esteja morto, viverá;
E todo aquele que vive, e crê em mim, nunca morrerá. Crês tu isto? (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
Disse-lhe ela: Sim, Senhor, creio que tu és o Cristo, o Filho de Deus, que havia de vir ao mundo.
28 After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
E, dito isto, partiu, e chamou em segredo a Maria, sua irmã, dizendo: O Mestre está cá, e chama-te.
29 And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
Ela, ouvindo isto, levantou-se logo, e foi ter com ele.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Porque ainda Jesus não tinha chegado à aldeia, mas estava no lugar onde Martha o encontrara.
31 When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
Vendo pois os judeus, que estavam com ela em casa e a consolavam, que Maria apressadamente se levantara e saira, seguiram-na, dizendo: vai ao sepulcro para chorar ali.
32 When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Tendo pois Maria chegado aonde Jesus estava, e vendo-o, lançou-se aos seus pés, dizendo-lhe: Senhor, se tu estivesses aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
Jesus pois, vendo-a chorar, e os judeus que com ela vinham também chorando, moveu-se muito em espírito, e perturbou-se.
34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
E disse: Onde o pusestes? Disseram-lhe: Senhor, vem, e vê.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesus chorou.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
Disseram pois os judeus: vede como o amava.
37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
E alguns deles disseram: Não podia este, que abriu os olhos ao cego, fazer também com que este não morresse?
38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
Jesus pois, movendo-se outra vez muito em si mesmo, vem ao sepulcro; e era uma caverna, e tinha uma pedra posta sobre ela.
39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
Disse Jesus: tirai a pedra. Martha, irmã do defunto, disse-lhe: Senhor, já cheira mal, porque é já de quatro dias.
40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Disse-lhe Jesus: Não te hei dito que, se creres, verás a glória de Deus?
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Tiraram pois a pedra de onde o defunto jazia. E Jesus, levantando os olhos para o céu, disse: Pai, graças te dou, por me haveres ouvido.
42 I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
Pois eu bem sei que sempre me ouves, mas eu disse isto por causa da multidão que está em redor, para que creiam que tu me enviaste.
43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
E, tendo dito isto, clamou com grande voz: Lázaro, sai para fora.
44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
E o defunto saiu, tendo as mãos e pés ligados com faixas, e o seu rosto envolto num lenço. Disse-lhes Jesus: desligai-o, e deixai-o ir
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
Muitos pois dentre os judeus, que tinham vindo a Maria, e que tinham visto o que Jesus fizera, creram nele.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Mas alguns deles foram ter com os fariseus, e disseram-lhes o que Jesus tinha feito.
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
Depois os principais dos sacerdotes e os fariseus formaram conselho, e diziam: Que faremos? porque este homem faz muitos sinais.
48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Se o deixamos assim, todos crerão nele, e os romanos virão, e tirar-nos-ão o nosso lugar e a nação.
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
E um deles, chamado Caiphas, que era sumo sacerdote naquele ano, lhes disse: Vós nada sabeis,
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
Nem considerais que nos convém que um homem morra pelo povo, e que não pereça toda a nação.
51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
Ora ele não disse isto de si mesmo, mas, sendo o sumo sacerdote naquele ano, profetizou que Jesus devia morrer pela nação.
52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
E não somente pela nação, mas também para ajuntar em um corpo os filhos de Deus, que andavam dispersos.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.
Desde aquele dia, pois, consultavam-se para o matarem.
54 As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.
Jesus, pois, já não andava manifestamente entre os judeus, mas retirou-se dali para a terra junto do deserto, para uma cidade chamada Ephraim; e ali andava com os seus discípulos.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
E estava próxima a pascoa dos judeus, e muitos daquela terra subiram a Jerusalém antes da pascoa para se purificarem.
56 They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
Buscavam pois a Jesus, e diziam uns aos outros, estando no templo: Que vos parece? Não virá à festa?
57 But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
Ora os principais dos sacerdotes e os fariseus tinham dado ordem para que, se alguém soubesse onde ele estava, o denunciasse, para o prenderem.
