Luke 3
1 When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
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 and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
durante o sumo sacerdócio de Anás e Caifás, a palavra de Deus veio a João, o filho de Zacarias, no deserto.
3 [So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
Ele veio a toda a região ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para a remissão dos pecados.
4 John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
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 [Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
Todos os vales serão preenchidos. Todas as montanhas e colinas serão baixadas. O tortuoso se tornará reto, e as formas ásperas de suavidade.
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
Toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus””.
7 Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
Ele disse portanto às multidões que saíram para serem batizadas por ele: “Filhos de víboras, que vos avisaram para fugir da ira vindoura?
8 Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
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 [God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
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 [Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
As multidões lhe perguntaram: “O que então devemos fazer”?
11 He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
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 [Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
Os cobradores de impostos também vieram para serem batizados e lhe disseram: “Professor, o que devemos fazer”?
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
Ele disse a eles: “Não colete mais do que o que lhe for designado”.
14 Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! 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 People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
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 replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
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 He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
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 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
Então, com muitas outras exortações, ele pregou boas novas ao povo,
19 He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
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 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
acrescentou isto também a todos eles, que ele calou João na prisão.
21 [But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
Agora quando todo o povo foi batizado, Jesus também havia sido batizado e estava orando. O céu foi aberto,
22 Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
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”.
