John 11
1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
Estava então enfermo um certo Lázaro, de Bethania, aldeia de Maria e de Martha, sua irmã.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped 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 two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Mandaram-lhe pois suas irmãs dizer: Senhor, eis que está enfermo aquele que tu amas.
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
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 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Ora Jesus amava a Martha, e a sua irmã e a Lázaro.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Ouvindo pois que estava enfermo, ficou ainda dois dias no lugar onde estava.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Depois disto, disse aos seus discípulos: Vamos outra vez para a Judeia.
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
Dizem-lhe os discípulos: rabi, ainda agora os judeus procuravam apedrejar-te, e tornas para lá?
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
Jesus respondeu: Não há doze horas no dia? Se alguém andar de dia, não tropeça, porque vê a luz deste mundo;
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Mas, se alguém andar de noite, tropeça, porque nele não há luz.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
Isto falou; e depois disse-lhes: Lázaro, o nosso amigo, dorme, mas vou desperta-lo do sono.
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
Disseram pois os seus discípulos: Senhor, se dorme, estará salvo.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Mas Jesus dizia isto da sua morte; eles, porém, cuidavam que falava do repouso do dormir.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Então pois Jesus disse-lhes claramente: Lázaro está morto;
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s 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, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
Disse pois Tomé, chamado Didimo, aos condiscípulos: Vamos nós também, para morrermos com ele.
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
Chegando pois Jesus, achou que já havia quatro dias que estava na sepultura
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
(Ora Bethania distava de Jerusalém quase quinze estadios).
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
E muitos dos judeus tinham ido consolar a Martha e a Maria, acerca de seu irmão.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Ouvindo pois Martha que Jesus vinha, saiu-lhe ao encontro: Maria, porém, ficou assentada em casa.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
Disse pois Martha a Jesus: Senhor, se tu estivesses aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Mas também agora sei que tudo quanto pedires a Deus Deus to dará.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Disse-lhe Jesus: Teu irmão há de resuscitar.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Disse-lhe Martha: Eu sei que há de resuscitar na ressurreição do último dia.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida; quem crê em mim, ainda que esteja morto, viverá;
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
E todo aquele que vive, e crê em mim, nunca morrerá. Crês tu isto? (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] 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 she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
E, dito isto, partiu, e chamou em segredo a Maria, sua irmã, dizendo: O Mestre está cá, e chama-te.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Ela, ouvindo isto, levantou-se logo, e foi ter com ele.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Porque ainda Jesus não tinha chegado à aldeia, mas estava no lugar onde Martha o encontrara.
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry 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 got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] 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 crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
Jesus pois, vendo-a chorar, e os judeus que com ela vinham também chorando, moveu-se muito em espírito, e perturbou-se.
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
E disse: Onde o pusestes? Disseram-lhe: Senhor, vem, e vê.
35 Jesus began to cry.
Jesus chorou.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Disseram pois os judeus: vede como o amava.
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
E alguns deles disseram: Não podia este, que abriu os olhos ao cego, fazer também com que este não morresse?
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
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 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
Disse Jesus: tirai a pedra. Martha, irmã do defunto, disse-lhe: Senhor, já cheira mal, porque é já de quatro dias.
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
Disse-lhe Jesus: Não te hei dito que, se creres, verás a glória de Deus?
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
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 know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to 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 he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
E, tendo dito isto, clamou com grande voz: Lázaro, sai para fora.
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
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 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
Muitos pois dentre os judeus, que tinham vindo a Maria, e que tinham visto o que Jesus fizera, creram nele.
46 But some of the [others] 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 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
Depois os principais dos sacerdotes e os fariseus formaram conselho, e diziam: Que faremos? porque este homem faz muitos sinais.
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
Se o deixamos assim, todos crerão nele, e os romanos virão, e tirar-nos-ão o nosso lugar e a nação.
49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
E um deles, chamado Caiphas, que era sumo sacerdote naquele ano, lhes disse: Vós nada sabeis,
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
Nem considerais que nos convém que um homem morra pelo povo, e que não pereça toda a nação.
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
Ora ele não disse isto de si mesmo, mas, sendo o sumo sacerdote naquele ano, profetizou que Jesus devia morrer pela nação.
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
E não somente pela nação, mas também para ajuntar em um corpo os filhos de Deus, que andavam dispersos.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Desde aquele dia, pois, consultavam-se para o matarem.
54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
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 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
E estava próxima a pascoa dos judeus, e muitos daquela terra subiram a Jerusalém antes da pascoa para se purificarem.
56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
Buscavam pois a Jesus, e diziam uns aos outros, estando no templo: Que vos parece? Não virá à festa?
Ora os principais dos sacerdotes e os fariseus tinham dado ordem para que, se alguém soubesse onde ele estava, o denunciasse, para o prenderem.
