< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Agora no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Tibério César, sendo Pôncio Pilatos governador da Judéia, e Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, e seu irmão Filipe tetrarca da região de Ituraea e Traconite, e Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
durante o sumo sacerdócio de Anás e Caifás, a palavra de Deus veio a João, o filho de Zacarias, no deserto.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Ele veio a toda a região ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para a remissão dos pecados.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Como está escrito no livro das palavras de Isaías, o profeta, “A voz de um que chora no deserto”, “Preparai o caminho do Senhor”. Faça seus caminhos retos.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
Todos os vales serão preenchidos. Todas as montanhas e colinas serão baixadas. O tortuoso se tornará reto, e as formas ásperas de suavidade.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus””.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Ele disse portanto às multidões que saíram para serem batizadas por ele: “Filhos de víboras, que vos avisaram para fugir da ira vindoura?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Portanto, produzam frutos dignos de arrependimento, e não comecem a dizer entre vós: 'Temos Abraão para nosso pai'; pois eu vos digo que Deus é capaz de criar filhos para Abraão a partir destas pedras!
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Mesmo agora o machado também está na raiz das árvores. Toda árvore, portanto, que não produz bons frutos, é cortada e jogada no fogo”.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
As multidões lhe perguntaram: “O que então devemos fazer”?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Ele lhes respondeu: “Aquele que tem duas demãos, deixe-o dar a ele que não tem nenhuma”. Aquele que tem comida, deixe-o fazer o mesmo”.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Os cobradores de impostos também vieram para serem batizados e lhe disseram: “Professor, o que devemos fazer”?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Ele disse a eles: “Não colete mais do que o que lhe for designado”.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Soldados também lhe perguntaram, dizendo: “E nós? O que devemos fazer”? Ele disse a eles: “Extorquir de ninguém pela violência, nem acusar ninguém injustamente”. Contente-se com seu salário”.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Enquanto o povo estava na expectativa, e todos os homens raciocinavam em seus corações a respeito de João, se talvez ele fosse o Cristo,
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
João respondeu a todos eles: “Eu de fato vos batizo com água, mas vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, a correia de cujas sandálias eu não sou digno de soltar. Ele vos batizará no Espírito Santo e no fogo”.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Seu ventilador de neve está em sua mão, e ele limpará completamente sua eira, e recolherá o trigo em seu celeiro; mas queimará o joio com fogo insaciável”.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Então, com muitas outras exortações, ele pregou boas novas ao povo,
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
mas Herodes, o tetrarca, sendo repreendido por ele por Herodíades, a esposa de seu irmão, e por todas as coisas más que Herodes tinha feito,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
acrescentou isto também a todos eles, que ele calou João na prisão.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Agora quando todo o povo foi batizado, Jesus também havia sido batizado e estava orando. O céu foi aberto,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
e o Espírito Santo desceu em forma corpórea como uma pomba sobre ele; e uma voz saiu do céu, dizendo “Tu és meu Filho amado”. Em ti estou bem contente”.
