Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
E aconteceu, depois d'isto, que andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, prégando e annunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus: e os doze andavam com elle,
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
E tambem algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espiritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Magdalena, da qual sairam sete demonios.
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
E Joanna, mulher de Chuza, procurador d'Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com suas fazendas.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo ter com elle de todas as cidades, disse por parabola:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Um semeador saiu a semear a sua semente, e, quando semeava, caiu uma parte junto do caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram;
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
E outra parte caiu sobre pedra, e, nascida, seccou-se, porquanto não tinha humidade;
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
E outra parte caiu entre espinhos, e, nascidos com ella os espinhos, a suffocaram;
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
E outra parte caiu em boa terra, e, nascida, produziu fructo, cento por um. Dizendo elle estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
E os seus discipulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parabola é esta?
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
E elle disse: A vós é dado conhecer os mysterios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros por parabolas, para que, vendo, não vejam, e, ouvindo, não entendam.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Esta é pois a parabola: A semente é a palavra de Deus;
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
E os que estão junto do caminho, estes são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que se não salvem, crendo;
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
E os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas estes não teem raiz, pois crêem por algum tempo, e no tempo da tentação se desviam;
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
E a que caiu entre espinhos, estes são os que ouviram, e, indo por diante, se suffocam com os cuidados, e riquezas e deleites da vida, e não dão fructo com perfeição;
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
E a que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam n'um coração honesto e bom, e dão fructo em perseverança.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
E ninguem, accendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; porém põe-n'a no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Porque não ha coisa occulta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem coisa escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir á luz
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Vêde pois como ouvis; porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver até o que parece que tem lhe será tirado.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
E foram ter com elle sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam chegar a elle, por causa da multidão.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
E foi-lhe annunciado por alguns, dizendo: Estão lá fóra tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Porém, respondendo elle, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aquelles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
E aconteceu que, n'um d'aquelles dias, entrou n'um barco, e com elle os seus discipulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos para a outra banda do lago. E partiram.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
E, navegando elles, adormeceu; e sobreveiu uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se d'agua, e perigavam.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
E, chegando-se a elle, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. E elle, levantando-se, reprehendeu o vento e as ondas d'agua; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E elles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e á agua manda, e lhe obedecem?
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galilea.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que desde muito tempo era possesso de demonios, e não andava vestido, e não habitava em casa, mas nos sepulchros.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
E, vendo a Jesus, prostrou-se diante d'elle, exclamando, e dizendo com grande voz: Que tenho eu comtigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altissimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes.
Porque mandava ao espirito immundo que saisse d'aquelle homem; porque já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavam-n'o preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impellido pelo demonio para os desertos.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado n'elle muitos demonios.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
E rogavam-lhe que os não mandasse ir para o abysmo. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
E andava ali pastando no monte uma manada de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar n'elles; e concedeu-lh'o.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
E, tendo saido os demonios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada arrojou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago, e afogaram-se.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
E aquelles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram annuncial-o na cidade e nos campos.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
E sairam a vêr o que tinha acontecido, e vieram ter com Jesus; e acharam o homem, de quem haviam saido os demonios, vestido, e em seu juizo, assentado aos pés de Jesus: e temeram.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes tambem como fôra salvo aquelle endemoninhado.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse d'elles; porque estavam possuidos de grande temor. E, entrando elle no barco, voltou.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
E aquelle homem, de quem haviam saido os demonios, rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com elle; porém Jesus o despediu, dizendo:
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Torna para tua casa, e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E elle foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
E aconteceu que, voltando Jesus, a multidão o recebeu, porque todos o estavam esperando.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
E eis que chegou um varão, cujo nome era Jairo, e era principe da synagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
Porque tinha uma filha unica, quasi de doze annos, e estava á morte. E, indo elle, apertava-o a multidão.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze annos, e gastara com os medicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum podéra ser curada,
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Chegando por detraz d'elle, tocou a orla do seu vestido, e o fluxo do seu sangue logo estancou.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
E disse Jesus; Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com elle: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e opprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou?
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
E disse Jesus: Alguem me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Então a mulher, vendo que não se occultava, approximou-se tremendo, e, prostrando-se ante elle, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que o havia tocado, e como logo sarára.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
E elle lhe disse: Tem bom animo, filha, a tua fé te salvou: vae em paz.
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Estando elle ainda fallando, chegou um dos do principe da synagoga, dizendo: A tua filha já está morta, não incommodes o Mestre.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê sómente, e será salva.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
E, entrando em casa, a ninguem deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Thiago, e a João, e ao pae e á mãe da menina.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
E todos choravam, e a pranteavam; e elle disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
E riam-se d'elle, sabendo que estava morta.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Porém elle, pondo-os todos fóra, e pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina.
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
E o seu espirito voltou, e ella logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe déssem de comer.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
E seus paes ficaram maravilhados; e elle lhes mandou que a ninguem dissessem o que havia succedido.
