Matthew 27
1 Very early the next morning all the chief priests and Jewish elders decided how [to arrange for the Romans] to execute Jesus.
E, chegando a manhã, todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os anciãos do povo, formavam juntamente conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem;
2 They tied his hands and took him to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
E levaram-no maniatado, e entregaram-no ao presidente Poncio Pilatos.
3 When Judas, the one who had (betrayed/enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize) him, realized that they had decided to have Jesus executed, he was very sorry [about what he had done]. He took the 30 coins back to the chief priests and elders.
Então Judas, o que o traíra, vendo que fôra condenado, devolveu, arrependido, as trinta moedas de prata aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e aos anciãos,
4 He said, “I have sinned. I have (betrayed/enabled you to seize) a man who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong).” They replied, “(That means nothing to us!/What does that mean to us?) [RHQ] That is your problem!”
Dizendo: Pequei, traindo o sangue inocente. eles, porém, disseram: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo.
5 So Judas [took] the money [and] threw it inside the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
E ele, atirando para o templo as moedas de prata, retirou-se, e, indo, enforcou-se.
6 [Later] the high priests [found] the coins. They picked them up and said, “This is money that we paid [to have a man killed] [MTY], and our law does not allow [such money] to be put {us to put [such money]} into the [Temple treasury].”
E os príncipes dos sacerdotes, tomando as moedas de prata, disseram: Não é lícito metê-las no cofre das ofertas, porque são preço de sangue.
7 So they decided to use that money to buy the field where clay was dug for making pots {men dug ground for making pots}. [They made that field] a place where they buried strangers [who died in Jerusalem].
E, tendo deliberado juntamente, compraram com elas o campo do oleiro, para sepultura dos estrangeiros.
8 That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ‘The field of blood’.
Por isso foi chamado aquele campo, até ao dia de hoje, Campo de sangue.
9 [By buying that field], they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote [long ago]: They took the 30 silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided [that he was worth];
Então se realizou o que vaticinara o profeta Jeremias: Tomaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço do avaliado, que os filhos de Israel avaliaram,
10 and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.
E deram-nas pelo campo do oleiro, segundo o que o Senhor determinou.
11 Jesus stood in front of [Pilate], the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “[It is] as you have [just] said.”
E foi Jesus apresentado ao presidente, e o presidente o interrogou, dizendo: És tu o Rei dos judeus? E disse-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.
E, sendo acusado pelos príncipes dos sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, nada respondeu.
13 So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; [are you not going to reply]?”
Disse-lhe então Pilatos: Não ouves quanto testificam contra ti?
14 But [even though he was not guilty], Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.
E nem uma palavra lhe respondeu, de sorte que o presidente estava muito maravilhado.
15 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison]. [He released] whichever prisoner the people wanted.
Ora, por ocasião da festa, costumava o presidente soltar um preso, escolhendo o povo aquele que quizesse.
16 At that time there was [in Jerusalem] a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.
E tinham então um preso bem conhecido, chamado Barrabás.
17 So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which [prisoner] would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom [some of you] claim to be the Messiah?”
Portanto, reunindo-se eles, disse-lhes Pilatos: Qual quereis que vos solte? Barrabás, ou Jesus, chamado Cristo?
18 [He asked that question] because he realized that the chief priests [wanted to have Jesus executed]. They had brought Jesus to him [only] because they were jealous of Jesus. [And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus].
Porque sabia que por inveja o haviam entregado.
19 While Pilate was sitting on the platform [where he made] judicial [decisions], his wife sent him [this message]: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”
E, estando ele assentado no tribunal, mandou sua mulher dizer-lhe: Não entres na questão desse justo, porque num sonho muito sofri por causa dele.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask [Pilate to] release Barabbas, and to [order] that Jesus be executed {that [his soldiers] execute Jesus}.
Mas os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram à multidão que pedisse Barrabás e matasse Jesus.
21 So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”
E, respondendo o presidente, disse-lhes: Qual desses dois quereis vós que eu solte? E eles disseram: Barrabás.
22 Pilate, [very astonished], asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who [some of you] say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “[Command that] he be crucified! {[Command your soldiers] (to crucify him/to nail him to a cross)}!”
Disse-lhes Pilatos: Que farei então de Jesus, chamado Cristo? Disseram-lhe todos: Seja crucificado.
23 Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Have] him crucified {[Command that your soldiers] crucify him}!”
O presidente, porém, disse: Pois que mal tem feito? E eles mais clamavam, dizendo: Seja crucificado.
24 Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took [a basin of] water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “[By washing my hands I am showing you that] if this man dies [MTY], it is [your] fault, [not mine]!”
Então Pilatos, vendo que nada aproveitava, antes o tumulto crescia, tomando água, lavou as mãos diante da multidão, dizendo: Estou inocente do sangue deste justo: considerai-o vós.
25 And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die [MTY] will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”
E, respondendo todo o povo, disse: O seu sangue seja sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos.
26 Then he [ordered the soldiers to] release Barabbas for them. But he [ordered that his soldiers] flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them (to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him).
Então soltou-lhes Barrabás, e, tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole (cohort/group of soldiers) gathered around him.
E logo os soldados do presidente, conduzindo Jesus à audiência, reuniram junto dele toda a coorte.
28 They pulled off [his clothes], and [pretending he was a king, they] put a purple robe on him.
E, despindo-o, o cobriram com uma capa de escarlata;
29 They [took some branches with] thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed [like a staff that a king would hold]. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews [IRO]!”
E, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça, e em sua mão direita uma cana; e, ajoelhando diante dele, o escarneciam, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos judeus.
30 They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.
E, cuspindo nele, tiraram-lhe a cana, e batiam-lhe com ela na cabeça.
31 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to [the place where they] would nail him to a cross.
E, depois de o haverem escarnecido, tiraram-lhe a capa, vestiram-lhe os seus vestidos e o levaram a crucificar.
32 [After Jesus carried his cross] a short distance, [the soldiers] saw a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city]. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.
E, quando saiam, encontraram um homem Cireneu, chamado Simão: a este constrangeram a levar a sua cruz.
33 They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ‘the place [like] a skull’.
E, chegando ao lugar chamado Gólgotha, que se diz: lugar da Caveira,
34 When [they got there], they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to [Jesus] to drink [so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross]. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. [Some soldiers took his clothes].
Deram-lhe a beber vinagre misturado com fel; mas, provando-o, não quis beber.
35 Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram os seus vestidos, lançando sortes: para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si os meus vestidos, e sobre a minha túnica lançaram sortes.
36 Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, [to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him].
E, assentados, o guardavam ali.
37 They fastened [to the cross] above Jesus’ head a [sign on which had been] {[they had]} written why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all] it said was, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews’.
E por cima da sua cabeça puseram escrita a sua acusação: ESTE É JESUS, O REI DOS judeus.
38 Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross on the left side.
E foram crucificados com ele dois salteadores, um à direita, e outro à esquerda.
39 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads [as if he were an evil man].
E os que passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando as cabeças,
40 They said, “You [said you] would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! [So if you could do that], you [should be able to] save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”
E dizendo: Tu, que destrois o templo, e em três dias o reedificas, salva-te a ti mesmo; se és Filho de Deus, desce da cruz.
41 Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the elders made fun of him. [Various ones of them] said things like,
E da mesma maneira também os príncipes dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, e anciãos, e fariseus, escarnecendo, diziam:
42 “He [claims that he] saved others [IRO] [from their sicknesses], but he cannot help himself!” “He [says that he] is [IRO] the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”
Salvou a outros, a si mesmo não pode salvar-se. Se é o Rei de Israel, desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele;
43 “He [says that he] trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”
Confiou em Deus; livre-o agora, se o ama; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus.
44 And the [two] bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.
E o mesmo lhe lançaram também em rosto os salteadores que estavam crucificados com ele.
45 At noon it became dark over the whole land. [It stayed dark] until three o’clock [in the afternoon].
E desde a hora sexta houve trevas sobre toda a terra, até à hora nona.
46 At about three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’
E perto da hora nona exclamou Jesus em alta voz, dizendo: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani; isto é, Deus meu, Deus meu, porque me desamparaste?
47 When some of the people standing there heard [the word ‘Eli’, misunderstanding it], they said, “He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, diziam: Este chama por Elias.
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on [the tip of] a reed and [held it up in order that Jesus] could suck out [the wine that was in it].
E logo um deles, correndo, tomou uma esponja, e encheu-a de vinagre, e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber.
49 But the other [people there] said, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him!”
Os outros, porém, diziam: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem livra-lo.
50 Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over [to God].
E Jesus, clamando outra vez com grande voz, rendeu o espírito.
51 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 signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God]. The earth shook, and [some large] rocks split open.
E eis que o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, do alto a baixo; e tremeu a terra, e fenderam-se as pedras,
52 [Some] tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.
E abriram-se os sepulcros, e muitos corpos de santos que dormiam foram resuscitados,
53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people [there].
E, saindo dos sepulcros, depois da ressurreição dele, entraram na cidade santa, e apareceram a muitos.
54 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby]. His soldiers who had been on guard [so that no one would rescue] Jesus [were also there]. When they [felt] the earthquake and saw all the [other] things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”
E o centurião e os que com ele guardavam a Jesus, vendo o terremoto, e as coisas que haviam sucedido, tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Verdadeiramente este era o Filho de Deus.
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee [district] in order to provide the things he needed.
E estavam ali olhando de longe muitas mulheres que tinham seguido Jesus desde a Galiléia, servindo-o,
56 Among these women were Mary from Magdala [town], [another] Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.
Entre as quais estavam Maria Magdalena, e Maria, mãe de Thiago e de José, e a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeo.
57 When it was [almost] evening, a rich man named Joseph came [there]. He was from Arimathea [town]. He also was a disciple of Jesus.
E, vinda já a tarde, chegou um homem rico de Arimathea, por nome José, que também era discípulo de Jesus.
58 He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to [allow him to take] the body of Jesus [and bury it]. Pilate ordered that [he] be allowed to {[his soldiers] let [Joseph]} take [the body].
Este chegou a Pilatos, e pediu-lhe o corpo de Jesus. Então Pilatos mandou que o corpo lhe fosse dado.
59 So Joseph [and others] took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.
E José, tomando o corpo, envolveu-o num fino e limpo lençol,
60 Then they placed it in Joseph’s own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. They rolled a huge [circular flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.
E o pôs no seu sepulcro novo, que havia lavrado numa rocha, e, revolvendo uma grande pedra para a porta do sepulcro, foi-se.
61 Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, [watching].
E estavam ali Maria Magdalena e a outra Maria, assentadas defronte do sepulcro.
62 The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and [some of] the Pharisees went to Pilate.
E no dia seguinte, que é depois da preparação, reuniram-se os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus em casa de Pilatos,
63 They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I [die I] will become alive again.’
Dizendo: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele enganador, vivendo ainda, disse: Depois de três dias resuscitarei.
64 So we ask you to order that the tomb be guarded {that [soldiers] guard the tomb} for three days. If you do not do that, his disciples may come and steal the body. Then they will tell people that he has risen from the dead. If they deceive [people by saying that], it will be worse than the way he deceived people before [by saying that he was the Messiah].”
Manda pois que o sepulcro seja guardado com segurança até ao terceiro dia, não seja caso que os seus discípulos vão de noite, e o furtem, e digam ao povo: Resuscitou dos mortos; e assim o último erro será pior do que o primeiro.
65 Pilate replied, “You [can] take some soldiers. Go to the tomb and make it as secure as you know how.”
E disse-lhes Pilatos: Tendes a guarda; ide, guardai-o como entenderdes.
66 So they went and made the tomb secure by [fastening a cord from] the stone [that was in front of the entrance to the rock cliff on each side] and sealing it. They also [left some soldiers there to] guard [the tomb].
E, indo eles, seguraram o sepulcro com a guarda, selando a pedra.
