Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
Naquela época, Herodes, o tetrarca, ouviu a respeito do que Jesus fazia
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: “Esse homem deve ser João Batista, que foi ressuscitado. E é por isso que ele tem esses poderes!”
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.
Herodes tinha detido João, amarrado as suas mãos e o colocado na prisão a pedido de Herodias, esposa de Filipe, seu irmão.
Pois João Batista lhe disse: “Pela lei, você não pode se casar com ela.”
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.
Herodes queria matar João, mas tinha medo da reação das pessoas, pois eles consideravam João um profeta.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
No entanto, na festa de aniversário de Herodes, a filha de Herodias dançou diante de todos, e Herodes ficou fascinado por ela.
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.
Então, ele prometeu que daria qualquer coisa que ela 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!]”
Aconselhada pela mãe, ela disse: “Quero a cabeça de João Batista em um prato.”
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].
O rei se arrependeu da promessa que tinha feito, mas por ter prometido diante dos seus convidados, ele deu a ordem para que o pedido fosse atendido.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
A ordem foi transmitida e João foi decapitado na prisão.
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.
Então, trouxeram a cabeça em um prato e a deram para a garota, que a levou para 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].
Os discípulos de João vieram, levaram o corpo dele e o sepultaram. Depois eles foram e contaram isso para 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.
Ao ouvir a notícia, Jesus saiu de barco sozinho para um lugar calmo. Mas quando as pessoas descobriram onde ele estava, elas saíram de suas cidades e o seguiram a pé.
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.
Quando Jesus saiu do barco e viu tanta gente, ele ficou com pena deles e curou os que estavam doentes.
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.”
No fim da tarde, os discípulos se aproximaram de Jesus e lhe disseram: “Este lugar é muito deserto e está ficando tarde. Mande as pessoas embora, para que elas possam ir aos povoados comprar algo para comer.”
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Mas, Jesus lhes disse: “Eles não precisam ir embora. Deem algo para eles comerem.”
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Eles responderam: “Tudo que temos são cinco pães e dois peixes.”
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
“Traga-os para mim”, Jesus falou.
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.
Depois disse para as pessoas se sentarem na grama. Então, ele pegou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e os abençoou. Depois disso, ele partiu os pães, entregou-os aos discípulos e eles distribuíram os pães para a 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.
Todos comeram até ficarem satisfeitos. Então, com as sobras que juntaram, os discípulos encheram doze cestos.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
Cerca de cinco mil homens comeram, sem contar as mulheres e as 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.
Logo após isso, ele fez com que os discípulos entrassem no barco e voltassem para o outro lado do lago, enquanto ele se despedia das pessoas.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
Após ter se despedido das pessoas, ele subiu um monte para orar. Anoiteceu e ele estava ali sozinho.
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].
Naquele momento o barco já estava longe da terra firme, sendo golpeado pelas ondas, por causa do vento que soprava contra ele.
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].
Eram aproximadamente entre três e seis horas da manhã quando Jesus os alcançou, andando sobre o 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.
Quando os discípulos o viram andando em cima da água, ficaram com muito medo e gritaram: “É um fantasma!”
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Então, Jesus imediatamente lhes disse: “Não se preocupem, sou eu! Não tenham medo!”
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
Pedro falou: “Senhor, se for realmente você, diga-me para ir até onde está, andando sobre a água.”
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
“Então, venha!”, disse Jesus. Pedro saiu do barco e caminhou sobre a água até onde Jesus estava.
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, quando percebeu como o vento soprava forte, ele ficou com medo e começou a afundar. Ele gritou: “Senhor, salve-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]”
Jesus rapidamente o alcançou e segurando-o disse: “Você tem tão pouca fé em mim! Por que você duvidou?”
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
Quando eles chegaram ao barco, o vento parou
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!”
e os discípulos o adoraram, dizendo: “Você é realmente o Filho de Deus!”
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
Após atravessarem o lago, chegaram à Genesaré.
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].
Quando as pessoas perceberam que Jesus estava lá, espalharam a notícia para que todos na região soubessem. Todos os doentes foram levados até Jesus
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 imploraram para que ele os deixasse tocar na barra da sua capa. Todas as pessoas que o tocaram foram curadas.
