< Luke 9 >

1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.
[Jesus] convocou seus doze discípulos, e lhes deu poder e autoridade sobre todos os demônios, e para curarem enfermidades.
2 He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
E os enviou para pregar o reino de Deus e para curar os enfermos.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no wallet, no bread, no money, and no extra tunic.
E disse-lhes: “Não tomeis nada convosco para o caminho: nem vara, nem bolsa, nem pão, nem dinheiro, nem tenhais duas túnicas cada um.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.
E em qualquer casa que entrardes, ficai ali, e dali saí.
5 Wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
E a todo os que não vos receberem, quando sairdes daquela cidade, sacudi até o pó dos vossos pés, em testemunho contra eles”.
6 Then they departed and went through the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
Então eles partiram, e percorreram todas as aldeias, anunciando o Evangelho, e curando em todos os lugares.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
E o tetrarca Herodes ouvia falar todas as coisas que ele fazia; e estava perplexo, porque alguns diziam que João tinha ressuscitado dos mortos;
8 and others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
e outros, que Elias havia aparecido; e outros, que algum profeta dos antigos havia ressuscitado.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who is this about whom I hear such things?” And so he tried to see him.
E Herodes disse: “A João mandei degolar; quem, pois, é este, de quem tais coisas ouço?” E procurava vê-lo.
10 When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him, and they went away privately to a town called Bethsaida.
E quando os apóstolos, voltaram, contaram [a Jesus] todas as coisas que tinham feito. Então ele os tomou consigo, e retirou-se à parte a um lugar deserto de uma cidade chamada Betsaida.
11 But when the crowds heard about this, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
E quando as multidões souberam, seguiram-no. Ele as recebeu, e lhes falava do Reino de Deus, e curava aos que precisavam de cura.
12 Now the day was about to come to an end, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in an isolated place.”
E o dia já começava a declinar. Então os doze se aproximaram dele, e lhe disseram: “Despede a multidão, para irem aos lugares e aldeias ao redor, se agasalhem, e achem o que comer; porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto”.
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
Mas ele lhes disse: “Dai-lhes vós de comer”. E eles disseram: “Não temos mais que cinco pães e dois peixes; a não ser se formos nós mesmos comprar de comer para todo este povo”.
14 (There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Porque havia ali quase cinco mil homens. Então disse aos seus discípulos: “Fazei-os se sentarem em grupos de cinquenta em cinquenta”.
15 So they did this, and made the people sit down.
E assim procederam, fazendo todos se sentarem.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them into pieces, and he gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
Então ele tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, olhando para o céu, abençoou-os e partiu-os, e os deu a seus discípulos, para [os] porem diante da multidão.
17 They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
E todos comeram, e saciaram-se; e levantaram doze cestos de pedaços que sobraram.
18 It came about while Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples were with him. He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
E aconteceu que, quando ele estava orando só, e seus discípulos estavam com ele, que ele lhes perguntou: “Quem as multidões dizem que eu sou?”
19 They answered, “John the Baptist. But others say Elijah, and others say that one of the prophets from long ago has risen.”
E eles responderam: “[Uns], João Batista; outros, Elias; e outros, que algum dos profetas antigos ressuscitou”.
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
E disse-lhes: “E vós, quem dizeis que eu sou?” E Pedro respondeu: “O Cristo de Deus”.
21 But he strongly warned them to tell this to no one,
Então ele os alertou, e mandou-lhes que não dissessem a ninguém,
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he will be killed and on the third day be raised.”
dizendo: “É necessário que o Filho do homem sofra muitas coisas; que seja rejeitado pelos anciãos, pelos chefes dos sacerdotes, e pelos escribas; que seja morto, e que seja ressuscitado ao terceiro dia”.
23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
E dizia a todos: “Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome cada dia sua cruz, e siga- me.
24 Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Pois quem quiser salvar sua vida a perderá; porém quem, por minha causa, perder a sua vida, esse a salvará.
25 What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit himself?
Porque, que aproveita para alguém ganhar o mundo todo, e perder ou prejudicar a si mesmo?
26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Pois quem se envergonhar de mim e das minhas palavras, dele o Filho do homem se envergonhará, quando vier na sua glória, e na do Pai, e dos santos anjos.
27 But I say to you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
E em verdade vos digo que, dentre os que aqui estão, há alguns que não experimentarão a morte, até que vejam o Reino de Deus”.
28 Now about eight days after Jesus said these words, he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
E aconteceu que, quase oito dias depois dessas palavras, ele tomou consigo a Pedro, João, e a Jacó, e subiu ao monte para orar.
29 As he was praying, the form of his face was changed, and his clothes became brilliant white.
E ele, enquanto estava orando, a aparência do seu rosto se transfigurou, e sua roupa [ficou] branca e brilhante.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
E eis que estavam falando com ele dois homens, que eram Moisés e Elias,
31 who appeared in glorious splendor. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to completion in Jerusalem.
os quais apareceram com glória, e falavam de sua partida, que estava para se cumprir em Jerusalém.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
Pedro e os que estavam com ele estavam cheios de sono; e quando despertaram, viram a glória dele, e aqueles dois homens que estavam com ele.
33 As they were going away from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
E aconteceu que, quando eles estavam saíndo da presença dele, Pedro disse a Jesus: “Mestre, é bom estarmos nós aqui. Façamos três tendas, uma para ti, uma para Moisés, e uma para Elias”, não sabendo o que dizia.
34 As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
E enquanto ele dizia isso, veio uma nuvem que os cobriu com a sua sombra; e, quando entraram na nuvem, temeram.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one who is chosen; listen to him.”
E veio uma voz da nuvem, que dizia: “Este é o meu Filho amado; a ele ouvi”.
36 When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
E, depois de terminada aquela voz, Jesus se encontrava só; e eles se calaram, e por aqueles dias não contaram a ninguém nada do que tinham visto.
37 Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
E aconteceu no dia seguinte que, descendo eles do monte, uma grande multidão lhe saiu ao encontro.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
E eis que um homem da multidão clamou: “Mestre, rogo-te que vejas a meu filho, que é o único que tenho,
39 You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.
e eis que um espírito o toma, e de repente grita, e o convulsiona até espumar, e somente sai dele quando o maltrata severamente.
40 I begged your disciples to force it out, but they could not.”
E roguei aos teus discípulos que o exupulsassem, mas não conseguiram”.
41 Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
E Jesus respondeu: “Ó geração incrédula e perversa! Até quando estarei ainda convosco, e vos suportarei? Traze aqui teu filho”.
42 While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
E quando ainda vinha chegando, o demônio o derrubou, e o convulsionou. Porém Jesus repreendeu o espírito imundo, curou ao menino, e o devolveu ao seu pai.
43 Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to his disciples,
E todos ficaram perplexos com a grandeza de Deus. E enquanto todos se maravilhavam de tudo o que Jesus fazia, disse aos seus discípulos:
44 “Let these words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.”
“Ponde vós em vossos ouvidos estas palavras: que o Filho do homem será entregue nas mãos dos homens”.
45 But they did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.
Mas eles não entendiam essa palavra, e era-lhes encoberta, para que não a compreendessem; e temiam perguntar-lhe sobre essa palavra.
46 Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.
E levantou-se entre eles uma discussão sobre qual deles seria o maior.
47 But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side
Mas Jesus, conhecendo o pensamento de seus corações, pegou uma criança, e a pôs junto a si.
48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is great.”
Então disse-lhes: “Quem receber esta criança em meu nome, a mim me recebe; e quem receber a mim, recebe o que me enviou; porque aquele que entre todos vós for o menor, esse será grande”.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”
João respondeu: “Mestre, vimos um que em teu nome expulsava os demônios, e nós o proibimos, porque não segue conosco”.
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
E Jesus lhe disse: “Não o proibais, porque quem não é contra nós, é por nós”.
51 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
E aconteceu que, quando completaram-se os dias em que ele viria a ser recebido no alto, ele se determinou a ir para Jerusalém.
52 He sent messengers on ahead of him, and they went and entered into a Samaritan village to prepare everything for him.
E mandou mensageiros adiante de si; e eles se foram, e entraram numa aldeia de samaritanos, para lhe fazerem os preparativos.
53 But the people there did not welcome him, because he had set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Mas não o receberam, porque seu rosto demonstrava que ele ia para Jerusalém.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them?”
Quando seus discípulos, Tiago e João, viram [isso], disseram: “Senhor, queres que digamos que desça fogo do céu e os consuma, como Elias também fez?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them,
Porém ele se virou, repreendeu-os.
56 and they went on to another village.
E foram para outra aldeia.
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
E aconteceu que, enquanto eles iam pelo caminho, alguém lhe disse: “Senhor, eu te seguirei para onde quer que fores”.
58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
E Jesus lhe disse: “As raposas têm tocas, e as aves do céu, ninhos; mas o Filho do homem não tem onde deitar a cabeça”.
59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
E disse a outro: “Segue-me”. Porém ele disse: “Senhor, deixa-me que primeiro eu vá, e eu enterre meu pai”.
60 But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim far and wide the kingdom of God.”
Mas Jesus lhe disse: “Deixa os mortos enterrarem os seus próprios mortos; tu, porém, vai, e anuncia o reino de Deus”.
61 Then someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those in my home.”
E outro também disse: “Senhor, eu te seguirei; mas deixa-me primeiro despedir dos que estão em minha casa”.
62 Jesus replied to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
E Jesus lhe disse: “Ninguém que colocar a sua mão no arado e olhar para trás é apto para o reino de Deus”.
