John 4
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
E quando o Senhor entendeu que os fariseus tinham ouvido que Jesus fazia e batizava mais discípulos do que João
(Ainda que Jesus mesmo não batizava, mas os seus discipulos),
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
Deixou a Judeia, e foi outra vez para a Galiléia.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
E era-lhe necessário passar por Samaria.
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
Foi pois a uma cidade de Samaria, chamada Sicar, junto da herdade que Jacob deu a seu filho José.
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
E estava ali a fonte de Jacob; Jesus, pois, cançado do caminho, assentou-se assim junto da fonte. Era isto quase à hora sexta.
Veio uma mulher de Samaria tirar água: disse-lhe Jesus: Dá-me de beber.
Porque os seus discípulos tinham ido à cidade comprar comida.
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
Disse-lhe pois a mulher samaritana: Como, sendo tu judeu, me pedes de beber a mim, que sou mulher samaritana? (porque os judeus não se comunicam com os samaritanos)
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Se tu conheceras o dom de Deus, e quem é o que te diz: Dá-me de beber, tu lhe pedirias, e ele te daria água viva.
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, tu não tens com que a tirar, e o poço é fundo: onde pois tens a água viva?
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
És tu maior do que o nosso pai Jacob, que nos deu o poço, e ele mesmo dele bebeu, e os seus filhos, e o seu gado?
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Qualquer que beber desta água tornará a ter sede;
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, dá-me dessa água, para que não mais tenha sede, e não venha aqui tira-la.
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
Disse-lhe Jesus: vai, chama a teu marido, e vem cá.
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
A mulher respondeu, e disse: Não tenho marido. Disse-lhe Jesus: Disseste bem: Não tenho marido;
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
Porque tiveste cinco maridos, e o que agora tens não é teu marido; isto disseste com verdade.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, vejo que és profeta.
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
Nossos pais adoraram neste monte, e vós dizeis que é em Jerusalém o lugar onde se deve adorar.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
Disse-lhe Jesus: Mulher, crê-me que a hora vem, quando nem neste monte nem em Jerusalém adorareis o Pai.
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
Vós adorais o que não sabeis; nós adoramos o que sabemos porque a salvação vem dos judeus.
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
Porém a hora vem, e agora é, em que os verdadeiros adoradores adorarão o Pai em espírito e em verdade; porque o Pai procura a tais que assim o adorem.
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
Deus é espírito, e importa que os que o adoram o adorem em espírito e em verdade.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
A mulher disse-lhe: Eu sei que o Messias (que se chama o Cristo) vem; quando ele vier, nos anunciará todas as coisas.
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
Jesus disse-lhe: Eu sou, o que falo contigo.
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
E nisto vieram os seus discípulos, e maravilharam-se de que falasse com uma mulher; todavia nenhum lhe disse: Que perguntas? ou: Que falas com ela?
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Deixou pois a mulher o seu cântaro, e foi à cidade, e disse àqueles homens:
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
Vinde, vede um homem que me disse tudo quanto tenho feito: porventura não é este o Cristo?
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Sairam pois da cidade, e foram ter com ele.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
E entretanto os seus discípulos lhe rogaram, dizendo: rabi, come.
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
Porém ele lhes disse: Uma comida tenho para comer, que vós não sabeis.
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
Então os discípulos diziam uns aos outros: Trouxe-lhe porventura alguém de comer?
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
Jesus disse-lhes: A minha comida é fazer a vontade daquele que me enviou, e cumprir a sua obra.
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
Não dizeis vós que ainda há quatro meses até que venha a ceifa? eis que eu vos digo: levantai os vossos olhos, e vede as terras, que já estão brancas para a ceifa
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
E o que ceifa recebe galardão, e ajunta fruto para a vida eterna; para que, assim o que semeia, como o que ceifa, ambos se regozijem. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Porque nisto é verdadeiro o ditado, que um é o que semeia, e outro o que ceifa.
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
Eu vos enviei a ceifar onde vós não trabalhastes; outros trabalharam, e vós entrastes no seu trabalho.
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
E muitos dos samaritanos daquela cidade creram nele, pela palavra da mulher, que testificou, dizendo: Disse-me tudo quanto tenho feito.
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
Indo pois ter com ele os samaritanos, rogaram-lhe que ficasse com eles; e ficou ali dois dias.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
E muitos mais creram nele, por causa da sua palavra.
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
E diziam à mulher: Já não é pelo teu dito que nós cremos; porque nós mesmos o temos ouvido, e sabemos que este é verdadeiramente o Cristo, o Salvador do mundo.
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
E dois dias depois partiu dali, e foi para a Galiléia.
Porque Jesus mesmo testificou que um profeta não tem honra na sua própria pátria.
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
Chegando pois à Galiléia, os galileus o receberam, vistas todas as coisas que fizera em Jerusalém no dia da festa; porque também eles tinham ido à festa.
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
Segunda vez foi Jesus a Caná da Galiléia, onde da água fizera vinho. E havia ali um regulo, cujo filho estava enfermo em Cafarnaum.
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
Ouvindo este que Jesus vinha da Judeia para a Galiléia, foi ter com ele, e rogou-lhe que descesse, e curasse o seu filho, porque já estava à morte.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Então Jesus lhe disse: Se não virdes sinais e milagres, não crereis.
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
Disse-lhe o regulo: Senhor, desce, antes que meu filho morra.
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Disse-lhe Jesus: vai, o teu filho vive. E o homem creu na palavra que Jesus lhe disse, e foi-se.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
E, descendo ele logo, sairam-lhe ao encontro os seus servos, e lhe anunciaram, dizendo: O teu filho vive.
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
Perguntou-lhes pois a que hora se achara melhor; e disseram-lhe: ontem às sete horas a febre o deixou.
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
Entendeu pois o pai que era aquela hora a mesma em que Jesus lhe disse: O teu filho vive: e creu ele, e toda a sua casa.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Jesus fez este segundo sinal, quando ia da Judeia para a Galiléia.
