Luke 8
1 It happened soon afterward that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
E aconteceu depois disso, que [Jesus] andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus; e com ele os doze,
2 as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out;
e algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios;
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; Susanna; and many others, who, out of their possessions, provided for their needs.
e Joana, a mulher de Cuza, mordomo de Herodes; e Susana, e muitas outras, que os serviam com seus bens.
4 While a large crowd of people was gathering, and people were coming to him from town after town, he told a parable:
E quando se ajuntou uma multidão, e vindo a ele de todas as cidades, disse por parábola:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
Saiu um semeador a semear sua semente; e quando semeava, caiu uma [parte] junto ao caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram.
6 Some fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
E outra [parte] caiu sobre a pedra; e nascida, secou-se, porque não tinha umidade.
7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up together with the seed and choked it.
E outra [parte] caiu entre espinhos, e nascendo com ela, os espinhos a sufocaram.
8 But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater.” After Jesus had said these things, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
E outra [parte] caiu em boa terra, e nascida, produziu fruto a cem por um. Depois que disse coisas, exclamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
E os seus discípulos lhe perguntaram: Que parábola é esta?
10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but for others I speak in parables, so that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
Ele disse: A vós é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus; mas aos outros por parábolas, para que vendo, não vejam; e ouvindo, não entendam.
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Esta é, pois, a parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus.
12 The ones along the path are those who have heard, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so they may not believe and be saved.
Os que estão junto ao caminho são os que ouviram; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que não creiam nem se salvem.
13 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing they fall away.
E os que estão sobre a pedra são os que, quando ouvem, recebem a palavra com alegria, mas esses não têm raiz, pois creem por algum tempo, mas no tempo da tentação se desviam.
14 The seeds that fell among the thorns are people who hear the word, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
E o que caiu entre espinhos são os que ouviram, e indo, sufocam-se com as preocupações, e riquezas, e prazeres da vida, e não produzem bom fruto.
15 But the seed that fell on the good soil, these are the ones who, hearing the word with an honest and good heart, hold it securely and bear fruit with patient endurance.
E o que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, conservam-na num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto que permanece.
16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters may see the light.
E ninguém, quando acende uma lâmpada, cobre-a com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; em vez disso põe na luminária, para que os que entram vejam a luz.
17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made known, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come into the light.
Porque não há coisa oculta que não venha a se manifestar; nem coisa escondida que não venha a ser conhecida, e chegada à luz.
18 So listen carefully, for to the one who has, more will be given to him, but the one who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
Portanto, prestai atenção a como ouvis; pois àquele que tiver lhe será dado; e àquele que não tiver, até o que lhe parece ter, dele será tirado.
19 Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
E vieram a ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, mas não conseguiam chegar a ele por causa da multidão.
20 He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
E foi-lhe anunciado, dizendo: “Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão fora, e querem te ver”.
21 But Jesus answered and said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
Porém, ele lhes respondeu: “Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a praticam”.
22 Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
E aconteceu, num daqueles dias, que [Jesus] entrou em um barco com seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: “Passemos para o outro lado do lago”. E partiram.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
E enquanto navegavam, [Jesus] adormeceu; então desceu uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se [de água], e estavam em perigo.
24 Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Então se aproximaram dele e o despertaram, dizendo: “Mestre, Mestre, estamos perecendo!” E ele se levantou, repreendeu o vento e as ondas da água; e pararam, e fez-se bonança.
25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
E disse-lhes: “Onde está a vossa fé?” Mas eles, temendo, admiravam-se, e diziam uns aos outros: “Quem é este, que manda até aos ventos, e à água, e lhe obedecem?”
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
E navegaram para a terra dos gerasenos, que é do lado oposto à Galileia.
27 When Jesus stepped on the land, he was met by a certain man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but among the tombs.
E quando ele desceu à terra, veio da cidade ao seu encontro um homem, que tinha demônios, e que havia muito tempo que não andava vestido, nem habitava em casa nenhuma, mas sim, nos sepulcros.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and he said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
Ele viu Jesus, então exclamou, prostrou-se diante dele, e disse com grande voz: “O que eu tenho contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes.”
29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and he would be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
Porque ele estava mandando ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois muitas vezes apoderava-se dele. E o mantinham preso com cadeias e grilhões; porém ele quebrava o que lhe prendia, e era conduzido pelo demônio aos desertos.
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” and he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
E Jesus lhe perguntou: “Qual é teu nome?” E ele disse: “Legião” (porque muitos demônios tinham entrado nele).
E rogavam-lhe que não os mandasse ir para o abismo. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.
E havia ali uma manada de muitos porcos, que pastavam no monte; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e ele lhes concedeu.
33 So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and was drowned.
Os demônios saíram daquele homem e entraram nos porcos; e a manada se lançou de um precipício no lago e se afogou.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and told about it in the city and countryside.
Quando os que cuidavam [dos porcos] viram o que havia acontecido, fugiram; então foram anunciar na cidade e nos campos.
35 So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
E saíram para ver o acontecido, e vieram até Jesus; e acharam ao homem de quem os demônios tinham saído, vestido e em pleno juízo, sentado aos pés de Jesus; e temeram.
36 Then those who had seen it told them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed.
E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como aquele endemoninhado havia sido liberto.
37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were overwhelmed with great fear. So he got into the boat so they could start back.
E toda o povo da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles; porque foram tomados por grande temor. Então ele entrou no barco e voltou.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
E aquele homem, de quem os demônios tinham saído, rogou-lhe para que lhe permitisse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo:
39 “Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
“Volta para tua casa, e conta como foram grandes as coisas que Deus te fez”. Ele se foi, e pregou por toda a cidade, como foram grandes as coisas que Jesus lhe tinha feito.
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
E aconteceu que, quando Jesus voltou, a multidão o recebeu; porque todos o estavam esperando.
41 Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,
E eis que chegou um homem, cujo nome era Jairo, e era chefe da sinagoga. Então ele se prostrou aos pés de Jesus e rogou-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;
42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.
porque tinha uma filha única, com doze anos de idade, que estava a ponto de morrer. E enquanto ele ia, as multidões o apertavam.
43 Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money, and could not be healed by anyone.
E uma mulher que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e já tinha gastado todos os seus pertences com médicos, e não pôde ser curada por nenhum.
44 She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
Ela se aproximou [de Jesus] por detrás, e tocou a borda de sua roupa; e logo o fluxo de seu sangue parou.
45 Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”
E Jesus disse: “Quem me tocou?” Enquanto todos negavam, disse Pedro: Mestre, as multidões te apertam e empurram!
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
Jesus disse: “Alguém me tocou, pois sei que poder saiu de mim”.
47 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
Então a mulher, vendo que não podia se esconder, veio tremendo, prostrou-se diante dele, e declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que o havia tocado, e como logo havia sarado.
48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
E ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te sarou; vai em paz”.
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
Estando ele ainda falando, veio um da [casa] do chefe da sinagoga, que lhe disse: “Tua filha já está morta, não incomodes o Mestre.”
50 But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
Porém quando Jesus o ouviu, respondeu-lhe: “Não temas; crê somente, e ela será curada”.
51 When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.
E quando entrou na casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, a não ser a Pedro, Tiago, João, e ao pai e à mãe da menina.
52 Now all were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but asleep.”
E todos choravam e lamentavam por ela; mas ele disse: “Não choreis; ela não está morta, mas dorme”.
53 But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
E riam dele, porque sabiam que estava morta.
54 But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
Porém ele, depois de expulsá-los todos, segurou a mão dela e clamou: “Levanta-te, menina”.
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He ordered them to get her something to eat.
Então seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e [Jesus] mandou que dessem de comer a ela.
56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
E seus pais ficaram maravilhados, mas ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia acontecido.
