Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
Na manhã do dia seguinte, os chefes dos sacerdotes, os anciãos do povo e os educadores religiosos, ou seja, todo o conselho superior, chegou a uma decisão. Eles amarraram Jesus e o levaram para ser entregue a Pilatos.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Pilatos perguntou a Jesus: “Você é o Rei dos Judeus?” Jesus lhe disse: “Você é quem está dizendo isso!”
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Os chefes dos sacerdotes continuaram a fazer várias acusações contra Jesus.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Pilatos lhe perguntou novamente: “Você não irá responder? Veja quantas acusações eles fazem contra você!”
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Jesus não respondeu mais nada, o que deixou Pilatos muito surpreso.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Naquela época, era costume, na festa da Páscoa, o governador libertar um prisioneiro escolhido pelo povo, qualquer um que eles escolhessem.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Um dos prisioneiros era um homem chamado Barrabás, que pertencia a um grupo de rebeldes que tinha cometido assassinatos durante uma revolta.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
A multidão disse a Pilatos para libertar um prisioneiro, seguindo o costume.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Pilatos perguntou para a multidão: “Vocês querem que eu liberte o Rei dos Judeus?”
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Ele sabia que os chefes dos sacerdotes tinham lhe entregado Jesus por inveja.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Mas, os chefes dos sacerdotes incentivavam a multidão para que eles pedissem a libertação de Barrabás.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Pilatos lhes perguntou: “Então, o que eu devo fazer com aquele que vocês chamam de o Rei dos Judeus?”
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Eles gritaram: “Crucifique-o!”
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
“Por quê? Qual crime ele cometeu?” Pilatos perguntou. Eles gritaram ainda mais alto: “Crucifique-o!”
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Querendo agradar a multidão, Pilatos libertou Barrabás, como eles tinham pedido. Primeiro, ele mandou chicotear Jesus e, depois, o entregou para ser crucificado.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Os soldados o levaram para o pátio do Pretório, onde chamaram toda a tropa.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Eles colocaram um manto púrpura sobre ele e fizeram uma coroa de espinhos, que colocaram em sua cabeça.
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Então, eles diziam a Jesus: “Viva o Rei dos Judeus!”
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Os soldados batiam em sua cabeça com uma vara, cuspiam nele e se ajoelhavam diante dele, como se o estivessem adorando.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Depois que pararam de zombar de Jesus, eles tiraram o manto púrpura e o vestiram novamente com as suas próprias roupas. Depois, eles o levaram para ser crucificado.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Eles obrigaram um homem, que lá passava, chamado Simão, de Cirene, que estava voltando do campo, a carregar a cruz de Jesus. Simão era o pai de Alexandre e de Rufo.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Os soldados levaram Jesus para um lugar chamado Gólgota, que significa “o Lugar da Caveira.”
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Eles ofereceram a Jesus vinho misturado com um calmante chamado mirra, mas ele recusou.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Então, eles o crucificaram. Eles dividiram as roupas de Jesus entre si, jogando os dados, para decidir qual peça de roupa ficaria para qual deles.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Eram nove horas da manhã quando eles o crucificaram.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Colocaram uma placa com a acusação contra ele, em que se podia ler: “O Rei dos Judeus.”
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Eles crucificaram dois ladrões com ele. Um ficou a sua esquerda e o outro, a sua direita.
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
As pessoas que passavam ofendiam Jesus, balançando a cabeça e dizendo: “Ei! Você afirmava que iria destruir o Templo e o reconstruiria em três dias.
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Então, salve-se! Desça da cruz!”
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Os chefes dos sacerdotes e os educadores religiosos também caçoaram dele, dizendo uns para os outros: “Ele salvou os outros, mas não consegue salvar a si mesmo!
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
Se é realmente o Messias, o Rei de Israel, então, desça da cruz, para que possamos ver e crer nele!” Até mesmo os dois ladrões que foram crucificados com ele o insultavam.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ao meio-dia, a escuridão cobriu toda a terra e durou três horas.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Às três horas da tarde, Jesus gritou: “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani”, que significa, “Meu Deus, meu Deus, por que você me abandonou?”
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Algumas pessoas que estavam lá ouviram isso e disseram: “Ele está chamando Elias.”
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Um homem correu e molhou uma esponja em vinagre. Ele colocou a esponja na ponta de um bastão e tentou dar isso para que Jesus bebesse. Ele disse: “Deixe-o sozinho! Vamos ver se Elias virá para tirá-lo daí.”
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Então, Jesus deu um grito forte e morreu.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
A cortina do Templo se rasgou em duas partes, de cima para baixo.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Quando o comandante romano, que estava lá na frente de Jesus, viu como ele morreu, disse: “Este homem era realmente o Filho de Deus!”
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Algumas mulheres estavam olhando a uma certa distância. Entre elas, estavam Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de José e de Tiago, o mais jovem, e Salomé.
Elas tinham seguido Jesus e cuidado dele, enquanto ele estava na Galileia. Muitas outras mulheres, que tinham vindo com Jesus para Jerusalém, também estavam lá.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Era sexta-feira, o dia antes do sábado. Quando a noite se aproximava,
José de Arimateia, um membro do conselho superior, que também estava esperando pelo Reino de Deus, teve coragem de falar com Pilatos e lhe pedir o corpo de Jesus.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Pilatos ficou surpreso por Jesus ter morrido tão rápido. Então, ele chamou o comandante romano e lhe perguntou se Jesus já havia morrido.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Assim que ele teve a confirmação do oficial, deu permissão para José levar o corpo.
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
José comprou um lençol de linho. Então, ele tirou o corpo de Jesus da cruz e o enrolou no lençol. Ele colocou o corpo em um túmulo que tinha sido cavado na rocha. Depois, rolou uma grande pedra, fechando a entrada do túmulo.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, viram onde o corpo de Jesus fora colocado.
