John 10
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
Em verdade, em verdade vos digo, que aquele que no curral das ovelhas não entra pela porta, mas sobe por outra parte, é ladrão, e assaltante.
2 The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Mas aquele que entra pela porta é o pastor de ovelhas.
3 The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
A este o porteiro abre, e as ovelhas ouvem sua voz, e a suas ovelhas chama nome por nome, e as leva fora.
4 After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
E quando tira fora suas ovelhas, vai adiante delas, e as ovelhas o seguem, porque conhecem sua voz.
5 But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Mas ao estranho em maneira nenhuma seguirão, ao invés disso dele fugirão; porque não conhecem a voz dos estranhos.
6 Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
Esta parábola Jesus lhes disse; porém eles não entenderam que era o que lhes falava.
7 So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
Voltou pois Jesus a lhes dizer: Em verdade, em verdade vos digo, que sou a porta das ovelhas.
8 All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
Todos quantos vieram antes de mim, são ladrões e assaltantes; mas as ovelhas não os ouviram.
9 I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
Eu sou a porta; se alguém entrar por mim, será salvo; e entrará, e sairá, e achará pasto.
10 Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
O ladrão não vem, senão para roubar, matar, e destruir; eu vim para que tenham vida, e [a] tenham em abundância.
11 I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
Eu sou o bom Pastor; o bom Pastor dá sua vida pelas ovelhas.
12 A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
Mas o contratado a dinheiro, e que não é o pastor, a quem as ovelhas não pertencem, vê o lobo vir, deixa as ovelhas, e foge; o lobo as captura, e dispersa as ovelhas.
13 The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
E o contratado foge, porque é contratado, e não tem cuidado das ovelhas.
14 I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
Eu sou o bom Pastor, e conheço as minhas, e pelas minhas sou conhecido.
15 in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
Como o Pai me conhece, assim também também eu conheço o Pai; e dou a minha vida pelas ovelhas.
16 And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
Ainda tenho outras ovelhas que não são deste curral; a estas também me convém trazer, e ouvirão minha voz, e haverá um rebanho, [e] um pastor.
17 The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
Por isso o Pai me ama, porque dou a minha vida para tomá-la de volta.
18 No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
Ninguém a tira de mim, mas eu de mim mesmo a dou; tenho poder para a dar, e tenho poder para tomá-la de volta. Este mandamento recebi de meu Pai.
19 After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
Voltou, pois, a haver divisão entre os judeus, por causa dessas palavras.
20 Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
E muitos deles diziam: Ele tem demônio, e está fora de si; para que o ouvis?
21 But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
Outros diziam: Estas palavras não são de um endemoninhado; por acaso pode um demônio dar vista aos cegos?
22 Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
E era a festa da renovação [do Templo] em Jerusalém, e era inverno.
23 Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
E andava Jesus passeando no Templo, na entrada de Salomão.
24 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
Rodearam-no, então, os Judeus, e lhe disseram: Até quando farás nossa alma em dúvida? Se tu és o Cristo, dize-nos abertamente.
25 Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Já vos tenho dito, e não credes. As obras que eu faço em nome de meu Pai, essas testemunham de mim.
26 But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
Mas vós não credes, porque não sois de minhas ovelhas, como já vos tenho dito.
27 [Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
Minhas ovelhas ouvem minha voz, e eu as conheço, e elas me seguem.
29 [Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
Meu Pai, que [as] deu para mim, é maior que todos; e ninguém pode arrancá-las da mão de meu Pai.
30 [My] father and I are equal.”
Eu e o Pai somos um.
31 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
Voltaram pois os Judeus a tomar pedras para o apedrejarem.
32 But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Muitas boas obras de meu Pai vos tenho mostrado; por qual obra destas me apedrejais?
33 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
Responderam-lhe os judeus dizendo: Por boa obra não te apedrejamos, mas pela blasfêmia; e porque sendo tu homem, a ti mesmo te fazes Deus.
34 Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Não está escrito em vossa Lei: Eu disse: Sois deuses?
35 God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
Pois se [a Lei] chamou deuses a aqueles, para quem a palavra de Deus foi feita, (e a Escritura não pode ser quebrada);
36 But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
[A mim], a quem o Pai santificou, e ao mundo enviou, dizeis vós: Blasfemas; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus?
37 If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
Se não faço as obras de meu Pai, não creiais em mim.
38 But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
Porém se eu as faço, e não credes em mim, crede nas obras; para que conheçais e creiais que o Pai está em mim, e eu nele.
39 After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
Então procuravam outra vez prendê-lo; e ele saiu de suas mãos.
40 Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
E voltou a ir para o outro lado do Jordão, ao lugar onde João primeiro batizava; e ficou ali.
41 Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
E muitos vinham a ele, e diziam: Em verdade que nenhum sinal fez João; mas tudo quanto João disse deste era verdade.
42 Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
E muitos ali creram nele.
