Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
No ano quinze do império de Tibério César, sendo Pôncio Pilatos o governador da Judeia, Herodes tetraca da Galileia, e seu irmão Filipe o tetrarca da Itureia e da província de Traconites, e Lisânias o tetrarca de Abilene;
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
sendo Anás e Caifás os sumos sacerdotes, a palavra de Deus veio a João, filho de Zacarias, no deserto.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Ele percorreu toda a região ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento, para o perdão dos pecados;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
conforme o que está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaías: “Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Todo vale se encherá, e todo monte e colina se abaixará; os tortos serão endireitados, e os caminhos ásperos se suavizarão;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
e todos verão a salvação de Deus.”
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
[João] dizia às multidões que vinham ser batizadas por ele: “Raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira que está para chegar?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Dai, pois, frutos condizentes com o arrependimento, e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: ‘Temos Abraão por pai’; pois eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode produzir filhos a Abraão.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
E também o machado já está posto à raiz das árvores; portanto, toda árvore que não dá bom fruto é cortada e lançada ao fogo.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
E as multidões lhe perguntavam: Então o que devemos fazer?
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
E ele lhes respondeu: Quem tiver duas túnicas, reparta com o não tem; e quem tiver comida, faça da mesma maneira.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
E chegaram também uns publicanos, para serem batizados; e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
E ele lhes disse: Não exijais mais do que vos está ordenado.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
E uns soldados também lhe perguntaram: E nós, que devemos fazer? E ele lhes disse: Não maltrateis nem defraudeis a ninguém; e contentai-vos com vossos salários.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
E, enquanto o povo estava em expectativa, e todos pensando em seus corações se talvez João seria o Cristo,
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
João respondeu a todos: De fato, eu vos batizo com água, mas vem um que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem eu não sou digno de desatar a tira das sandálias; ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Sua pá está na sua mão para limpar sua eira, e para juntar o trigo no seu celeiro; porém queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Assim, exortando com muitas outras coisas, [João] anunciava a boa notícia ao povo.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Porém, quando Herodes, o tetrarca, foi repreendido por ele por causa de Herodias, mulher do seu irmão, e por todas as maldades que Herodes havia feito,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
acrescentou a todas ainda esta: encarcerou João na prisão.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
E aconteceu que, quando todo o povo era batizado, Jesus [também] foi batizado, e enquanto orava, o céu se abriu,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
e o Espírito Santo desceu sobre ele em forma corpórea, como pomba; e veio do céu uma voz: Tu és o meu Filho amado, em ti me agrado.
