Matthew 6
1 “When you do your good deeds, make certain that you do not do them when other people are watching so that they may see you [and think highly of you]. If [you do good deeds merely in order that other people may think highly of you, God], your Father who is in heaven, will not give you any reward.
Guardae-vos de fazer a vossa esmola diante dos homens, para serdes vistos por elles: aliás não tereis galardão junto de vosso Pae, que está nos céus.
2 So, whenever you give something to the poor, do not [announce it as people announce something that they want other people to know about] by playing a [fanfare] on a trumpet [MET]. That is what the hypocrites do (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places) and on the main roads in order that people might [see what they do and] praise them. Keep this in mind: [People praise those hypocrites], [but] that is the [only] reward they will receive!
Quando pois deres esmola, não faças tocar trombeta adiante de ti, como fazem os hypocritas nas synagogas e nas ruas, para serem glorificados pelos homens. Em verdade vos digo que já receberam o seu galardão.
3 Instead [of doing as they do], when you give something to the poor, do not let other people know that you are doing that [MET].
Mas, quanto tu deres esmola, não saiba a tua mão esquerda o que faz a tua direita;
4 In that way, you will be giving to the poor secretly. [As a result God], your Father who observes [you] while no one else sees [you], will reward you.
Para que a tua esmola seja dada occultamente: e teu Pae, que vê em segredo, te recompensará publicamente.
5 Also when you pray, do not do what the hypocrites do. They like to stand in the Jewish meeting places and on the corners of the main streets to pray, in order that other people will see them [and think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People praise them, but] that is the [only] reward they will get.
E, quando orares, não sejas como os hypocritas; pois se comprazem em orar em pé nas synagogas, e ás esquinas das ruas, para serem vistos pelos homens. Em verdade vos digo que já receberam o seu galardão.
6 But as for you, when you pray, go into your private room and close the door in order to pray to [God], your Father, whom no one can see. He observes you where no one else observes you, and he will reward you.
Mas tu, quando orares, entra no teu aposento, e, fechando a tua porta, ora a teu Pae que está em occulto; e teu Pae, que vê secretamente, te recompensará.
7 When you pray, do not repeat words many times as the people who do not know God do [when they pray. They repeat meaningless words] because they think that if they use many words, their gods will listen to them and give them [what they ask for].
E, orando, não useis palavras vãs, como os gentios, que pensam que por muito fallarem serão ouvidos.
8 Do not [repeat words] as they do, because [God] your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Não vos assimilheis pois a elles; porque vosso Pae sabe o que vos é necessario, antes de vós lh'o pedirdes.
9 So pray [things] like this: Father, [you who are] in heaven, we [(exc)] desire that you be honored/revered {that people honor/revere you}.
Portanto, vós orareis assim: Pae nosso, que estás nos céus, sanctificado seja o teu nome;
10 We [(exc)] desire that people let you rule [over their lives]. We(exc) want [people who live] on the earth to do what you desire, as those who live in heaven [do what you want them to do].
Venha o teu reino, seja feita a tua vontade, assim na terra como no céu;
11 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we [(exc) need for] that day.
O pão nosso de cada dia nos dá hoje;
12 Forgive our sins just like we [(exc)] have forgiven the people who sin against us [(exc)].
E perdoa-nos as nossas dividas, assim como nós perdoamos aos nossos devedores;
13 Do not let us(exc) do wrong things when we(exc) are tempted {someone or something tempts us}, and rescue us [(exc)] when Satan the evil one tempts us to do evil things.”
E não nos induzas á tentação; mas livra-nos do mal; porque teu é o reino, e o poder, e a gloria, para sempre. Amen
14 “[Forgive the people who sin against you], because, if you forgive other people, [God], your Father who is in heaven, will forgive your [sins].
Porque, se perdoardes aos homens as suas offensas, tambem vosso Pae celestial vos perdoará a vós;
15 But if you do not forgive other people, neither will God forgive your sins.”
Se, porém, não perdoardes aos homens as suas offensas, tambem vosso Pae vos não perdoará as vossas offensas.
16 “When you abstain from eating food [in order to please God], do not look sad as the hypocrites look. They make their faces appear sad in order that people will see that they are abstaining from food [and will think highly of them]. Keep this in mind: [People will think highly of those people for that], but [that is the only] reward those people will get!
E, quando jejuaes, não vos mostreis contristados como os hypocritas; porque desfiguram os seus rostos, para que aos homens pareça que jejuam. Em verdade vos digo que já receberam o seu galardão.
17 Instead, [each of] you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face [as usual],
Porém tu, quando jejuares, unge a tua cabeça, e lava o teu rosto.
18 in order that other people will not notice that you are fasting [because you will look as you always do]. But [God], your Father, whom no one can see, [will observe that you are abstaining from food. God] your Father sees [you] even though no one else sees [you], and he will reward you.”
Para não parecer aos homens que jejuas, mas a teu Pae, que está em occulto; e teu Pae, que vê em occulto, te recompensará.
19 “Do not [selfishly] accumulate large quantities of money and material goods for yourselves on [this] earth, because [the earth is where everything is destroyed. For example], on earth termites ruin things, and things rust, and thieves enter [buildings] and steal things.
Não ajunteis thesouros na terra, onde a traça e a ferrugem tudo consomem, e onde os ladrões minam e roubam;
20 Instead, do [deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like] storing treasures in heaven [MET]. [Nothing perishes in heaven]. In heaven no termites ruin [things], nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
Mas ajuntae thesouros no céu, onde nem a traça nem a ferrugem corrompe, e onde os ladrões não minam nem roubam.
21 [Remember that] the things [that you think are the most] valuable are [the things that] you will be constantly concerned about [MET]. [So if you want to be storing treasures in heaven], you [need to be] constantly thinking [about God and heaven], [instead of your earthly possessions].”
Porque onde estiver o vosso thesouro, ahi estará tambem o vosso coração.
22 “Your eyes are [like] a lamp [MET] for your body, because they enable you to see things. So if your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you are generous with your money and other possessions, you will be able to know much of what God wants you to know] [MET].
A candeia do corpo é o olho; de sorte que, se o teu olho fôr bom, todo o teu corpo terá luz;
23 But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see things well. And if that continues, the time will come when you will not be able to see at all. You will be in complete darkness [MET]. [Similarly, if you continue to be greedy, you will be in spiritual darkness. If all that your eyes can see and your mind can think about involves your greedily desiring material possessions, all that you do will be evil] [MET].”
Se, porém, o teu olho fôr mau, o teu corpo será tenebroso. Se, portanto, a luz que em ti ha são trevas, quão grandes serão as trevas!
24 “No one is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time]. If [he tried to do that], he would dislike one of them and love the other one, or he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one [DOU]. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life to] worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
Ninguem pode servir a dois senhores; porque ou ha de odiar um e amar o outro, ou se dedicará a um e desprezará o outro. Não podeis servir a Deus e a Mammon.
25 “Because [you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I] tell you that you should not worry about [things that you need in order to] live. [Do not worry] about whether you will have [enough food] to eat, and [something] to drink, or [enough] clothes to wear. It is important to have [sufficient] food [and drink] and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ].
Por isso vos digo: Não andeis cuidadosos emquanto á vossa vida, pelo que haveis de comer ou pelo que haveis de beber; nem, emquanto ao vosso corpo, pelo que haveis de vestir. Não é a vida mais do que o mantimento, e o corpo mais do que o vestido?
26 Look at the birds. They do not plant [seeds, and they do not] harvest [crops] and gather them into barns. [But they always have food to eat because God], your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! [So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!]
Olhae para as aves do céu, que nem semeiam, nem segam, nem ajuntam em celleiros; e vosso Pae celestial as alimenta. Não tendes vós muito mais valor do que ellas?
27 (None of you can, just by worrying, [add time to your life]./Can any of you, just by worrying, [add time to your life]?) [RHQ] [You cannot] add [even] one minute to your life! [So you should not worry about things such as food and clothing!]
E qual de vós poderá, com todos os seus cuidados, accrescentar um covado á sua estatura?
28 You should also not worry about [whether you will have enough] clothes [to wear] [RHQ]. Think about the way flowers [grow] in the fields. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes.
E, emquanto ao vestido, porque andaes solicitos? Olhae para os lirios do campo, como elles crescem: não trabalham nem fiam;
29 But I tell you that even though [King] Solomon, who [lived long ago], [wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
E eu vos digo que nem mesmo Salomão, em toda a sua gloria, se vestiu como qualquer d'elles.
30 God makes the wild plants very beautiful, [but they grow] in the field [for only a short time]. One day they grow, and the next day they are thrown into an oven {someone [cuts them and] throws them into an oven} [to be burned to make heat for baking bread. But you are more important to God than wild plants are, and you live much longer]. So (God will certainly provide clothes for you who [live a long time but] trust him so little!/will not God surely very adequately clothe you, [who live a long time but] trust him so little?) [RHQ]
Pois, se Deus assim enfeita a herva do campo, que hoje existe e ámanhã é lançada no forno, não vos vestirá muito mais a vós, homens de pouca fé?
31 Because of God’s caring for you, do not worry and say, ‘Will we have anything to eat?’ or ‘Will we have anything to drink?’ or ‘Will we have clothes to wear?’ [RHQ]
Não andeis pois inquietos, dizendo: Que comeremos, ou que beberemos, ou com que nos vestiremos?
32 Those who do not know God are always worrying about things like that. But God, your Father who is in heaven, knows that you need all those things, [so you should not worry about them].
(Porque todas estas coisas os gentios procuram) Pois vosso Pae celestial bem sabe que necessitaes de todas estas coisas;
33 Instead, the most important thing you should be concerned about is to let [God] completely direct your life, and to strive [to live] righteously. [If you do that], all the things that you [need] will be given to you {God will give you all the things [that you need]}.
Mas buscae primeiro o reino de Deus, e a sua justiça, e todas estas coisas vos serão accrescentadas.
34 So [each day] do not be worried about what will happen to you the next day, because [when] that day [PRS] comes, [you] will be concerned about [what happens during] that day. You will have enough to be concerned about each day. [So do not worry ahead of time].”
Não vos inquieteis pois pelo dia d'ámanhã, porque o dia d'ámanhã cuidará de si mesmo. Basta a cada dia o seu mal.
