Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
Naquele tempo ouviu Herodes, o tetrarca, a fama de Jesus,
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
E disse aos seus criados: Este é João Batista; resuscitou dos mortos, e por isso as maravilhas obram nele.
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
Porque Herodes tinha prendido João, e tinha-o manietado e encerrado no cárcere, por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Felipe;
Porque João lhe dissera: Não te é lícito possui-la.
5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
E, querendo mata-lo, temia o povo; porque o tinham como profeta.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
Festejando-se, porém, o dia natalício de Herodes, dançou a filha de Herodias diante dele, e agradou a Herodes.
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
Pelo que prometeu com juramento dar-lhe tudo o que pedisse;
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
E ela, instruída previamente por sua mãe, disse: Dá-me aqui num prato a cabeça de João Batista.
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
E o rei afligiu-se, mas, por causa do juramento, e dos que estavam com ele, mandou que se lhe desse.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
E mandou degolar João no cárcere,
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
E a sua cabeça foi trazida num prato, e dada à menina, e ela a levou a sua mãe.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
E chegaram os seus discípulos, e levaram o corpo, e o sepultaram; e foram anuncia-lo a Jesus.
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
E Jesus, ouvindo isto, retirou-se dali num barco, para um lugar deserto, apartado; e, sabendo-o o povo, seguiu-o a pé desde as cidades.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
E Jesus, saindo, viu uma grande multidão, e foi possuído de intima compaixão para com ela, e curou os seus enfermos.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
E, sendo chegada a tarde, os seus discípulos aproximaram-se-lhe, dizendo: O lugar é deserto, e a hora é já avançada; despede a multidão, para que vão pelas aldeias, e comprem comida para si.
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Jesus, porém, lhes disse: Não é míster que vão: dai-lhes vós de comer.
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Então eles lhe disseram: Não temos aqui senão cinco pães e dois peixes.
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
E ele disse: trazei-mos aqui.
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
E, mandando que a multidão se assentasse sobre a erva, e tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, e erguendo os olhos ao céu, os abençoou, e, partindo os pães, deu-os aos discípulos, e os discípulos à multidão.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
E comeram todos, e saciaram-se; e levantaram dos pedaços, que sobejaram, doze alcofas cheias.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
E os que comeram foram quase cinco mil homens, além das mulheres e crianças.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
E logo ordenou Jesus que os seus discípulos entrassem no barco, e fossem adiante dele para a outra banda, enquanto despedia a multidão.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
E, despedida a multidão, subiu ao monte para orar à parte. E, chegada já a tarde, estava ali só
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
E o barco estava já no meio do mar, açoitado pelas ondas; porque o vento era contrário;
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
Mas, à quarta vigília da noite, dirigiu-se Jesus para eles, caminhando por cima do mar.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
E os discípulos, vendo-o caminhar sobre o mar, assustaram-se, dizendo: É um fantasma. E gritaram com medo.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Jesus, porém, lhes falou logo, dizendo: Tende bom ânimo, sou eu, não tenhais medo.
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
E respondeu-lhe Pedro, e disse: Senhor, se és tu, manda-me ir ter contigo por cima das águas.
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
E ele disse: Vem. E Pedro, descendo do barco, andou sobre as águas para ir ter com Jesus.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Mas, sentindo o vento forte, teve medo; e, começando a afundar-se, clamou, dizendo: Senhor, salva-me.
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
E logo Jesus, estendendo a mão, segurou-o, e disse-lhe: Homem de pouca fé, porque duvidaste?
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
E, quando subiram para o barco, acalmou o vento.
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
Então aproximaram-se os que estavam no barco, e adoraram-no, dizendo: És verdadeiramente o Filho de Deus.
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
E, tendo passado para a outra banda, chegaram à terra de Genezareth.
35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
E, quando os homens daquele lugar o conheceram, mandaram por todas aquelas terras em redor, e trouxeram-lhe todos os que estavam enfermos.
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
E rogavam-lhe para que ao menos eles tocassem a orla do seu vestido; e todos os que a tocavam ficavam sãos.
