Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Quando Jesus terminou estas palavras, ele partiu da Galiléia e chegou às fronteiras da Judéia além do Jordão.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Seguiram-no grandes multidões, e ele as curou ali.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Os fariseus vieram até ele, testando-o e dizendo: “É lícito para um homem divorciar-se de sua esposa por qualquer razão”?
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Ele respondeu: “Você não leu que aquele que os fez desde o início os fez macho e fêmea,
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
e disse: 'Por esta causa um homem deixará seu pai e sua mãe, e se unirá à sua esposa; e os dois se tornarão uma só carne...
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
para que não sejam mais dois, mas uma só carne. Portanto, o que Deus uniu, não deixe que o homem se desfaça”.
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Eles lhe perguntaram: “Por que então Moisés nos ordenou que lhe déssemos um certificado de divórcio e divórcio”?
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Ele lhes disse: “Moisés, por causa da dureza de seus corações, permitiu que vocês se divorciassem de suas esposas, mas desde o início não foi assim”.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Eu lhes digo que quem se divorciar de sua esposa, exceto por imoralidade sexual, e casar com outra, comete adultério; e quem se casar com ela quando ela se divorciar, comete adultério”.
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Seus discípulos lhe disseram: “Se este é o caso do homem com sua esposa, não é conveniente se casar”.
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Mas ele disse a eles: “Nem todos os homens podem receber este ditado, mas aqueles a quem ele é dado”.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Pois há eunucos que nasceram assim do ventre de sua mãe, e há eunucos que foram feitos eunucos pelos homens; e há eunucos que se fizeram eunucos por causa do Reino dos Céus. Quem é capaz de recebê-lo, que o receba”.
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Em seguida, foram-lhe trazidas crianças pequenas para que lhes impusesse as mãos e rezasse; e os discípulos os repreenderam.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Mas Jesus disse: “Deixai as criancinhas, e não as proibais de vir até mim; pois o Reino dos Céus pertence a estes”.
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Ele impôs suas mãos sobre eles, e partiu dali.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Eis que alguém veio até ele e disse: “Bom professor, que bem devo fazer para ter a vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Ele lhe disse: “Por que você me chama de bom? Ninguém é bom, a não ser um, isto é, Deus. Mas se você quer entrar na vida, cumpra os mandamentos”.
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Ele disse a ele: “Quais?” Jesus disse: “'Não matarás'”. “Não cometereis adultério”. “Não roubarás”. “Não darás falso testemunho”.
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
'Honre seu pai e sua mãe'. E, 'Amarás teu próximo como a ti mesmo'”.
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
O jovem lhe disse: “Todas estas coisas eu observei desde a minha juventude. O que me falta ainda”?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jesus lhe disse: “Se você quer ser perfeito, vá, venda o que você tem, e dê aos pobres, e você terá um tesouro no céu; e venha, siga-me”.
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Mas quando o jovem ouviu isto, foi embora triste, pois era um homem que tinha grandes posses.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
Jesus disse a seus discípulos: “Certamente eu lhes digo que um homem rico entrará no Reino dos Céus com dificuldade.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Novamente vos digo que é mais fácil para um camelo atravessar o olho de uma agulha do que para um homem rico entrar no Reino de Deus”.
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Quando os discípulos ouviram isso, ficaram extremamente surpresos, dizendo: “Quem então pode ser salvo?”.
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Olhando para eles, Jesus disse: “Com os homens isso é impossível, mas com Deus todas as coisas são possíveis”.
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Então Peter respondeu: “Eis que nós deixamos tudo e o seguimos”. O que então teremos”?
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus lhes disse: “Certamente vos digo que vós que me seguistes, na regeneração, quando o Filho do Homem se sentar no trono de sua glória, sentar-vos-eis também em doze tronos, julgando as doze tribos de Israel”.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Todo aquele que deixou casas, ou irmãos, ou irmãs, ou pai, ou mãe, ou esposa, ou filhos, ou terras, por amor do meu nome, receberá cem vezes, e herdará a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Mas muitos serão os últimos que são os primeiros, e os primeiros que são os últimos.
