Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
Não julguem os outros, para que vocês não sejam julgados.
2 If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
Pois seja qual for o padrão que usem para julgar os outros, o mesmo será usado para julgá-los, e seja qual for a medida que vocês usarem para medir os outros, a mesma será usada para medi-los.
3 (None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
Por que é que você vê o cisco que está no olho do seu irmão? Você não nota a tábua que está em seu próprio olho?
4 (You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
Como é que você pode dizer ao seu irmão: ‘Deixe-me tirar esse cisco do seu olho’, quando você está com uma tábua no seu próprio olho?
5 You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Você está sendo hipócrita! Tire primeiro a tábua que está em seu olho. Depois você será capaz de ver claramente para retirar o cisco do olho do seu irmão.
6 “You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
Não deem para os cães o que é sagrado. Não joguem suas pérolas aos porcos. Assim, os porcos não as pisarão, e os cães não se voltarão contra vocês e não os atacarão.
7 “Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
Peçam e lhes será dado; busquem e encontrarão; batam e a porta se abrirá para vocês.
8 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
Todos aqueles que pedem, recebem; todos aqueles que buscam, acham; e para todos aqueles que batem à porta, ela se abrirá.
9 (No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
Algum de vocês daria a seu filho uma pedra, se ele pedisse pão?
10 Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
Ou se ele pedisse peixe, dariam a ele uma cobra?
11 You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
Então, se mesmo vocês, que são maus, sabem dar boas coisas a seus filhos, muito mais o seu Pai celestial dará coisas boas a quem lhe pedir.
12 “So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
Tratem os outros como gostariam de ser tratados. Isso resume o que a lei e os profetas querem dizer.
13 “[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
Entrem pela porta estreita. Pois a porta que é ampla e o caminho que é largo levam à destruição, e muitos vão por esse caminho.
Mas a entrada que é estreita e o caminho que é difícil levam à vida, e apenas poucas pessoas encontram esse caminho.
15 “Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
Cuidado com os falsos profetas! Eles chegam disfarçados de ovelhas, mas, na verdade, são lobos cruéis.
16 [So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
Vocês podem reconhecê-los por seus frutos. As pessoas colhem uvas dos espinheiros ou figos dos cardos?
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Então, toda árvore boa produz bons frutos, enquanto uma árvore má produz frutos ruins.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Uma árvore boa não pode produzir frutos ruins e uma árvore ruim não pode produzir bons frutos.
19 [And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
Toda árvore que não produz bons frutos é cortada e jogada no fogo.
20 By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
Então, vocês os reconhecerão por seus frutos.
21 “[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
Nem todos aqueles que me chamam: ‘Senhor, Senhor’, entrarão no Reino do Céu. Apenas aqueles que fizerem a vontade do meu Pai entrarão no céu.
22 On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
No Dia do Julgamento, muitos dirão para mim: ‘Senhor, Senhor, em seu nome não fizemos profecias, expulsamos demônios e realizamos muitos milagres?’
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
Então, lhes direi: ‘Eu nunca os conheci. Afastem-se de mim, vocês que praticam o mal!’
24 “So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
Todos os que ouvem as palavras que eu digo e que as seguem são como um homem sábio, que construiu sua casa na rocha.
25 [Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
A chuva caiu, vieram as enchentes e o vento soprou forte contra a casa, mas ela não caiu, porque a sua base foi construída na rocha.
26 On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Todos os que ouvem as palavras que eu digo e não as seguem são como um homem tolo, que construiu sua casa na areia.
27 When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
A chuva caiu, vieram as enchentes e o vento soprou forte contra a casa; ela desabou e ficou totalmente destruída.”
28 When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
Quando Jesus acabou de explicar essas coisas, a multidão estava impressionada com a sua forma de ensinar,
29 The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
pois ele ensinava como alguém com autoridade e, não, como os educadores religiosos.
