John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
No princípio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Ele estava no princípio com Deus.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
Todas as coisas foram feitas por ele, e sem ele nada, do que foi feito, se fez.
4 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
Nele estava a vida, e a vida era a luz dos homens;
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
E a luz resplandece nas trevas, e as trevas não a compreenderam.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Houve um homem enviado de Deus, cujo nome era João.
7 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
Este veio para testemunho, para que testificasse da luz; para que todos cressem por ele.
8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
Não era ele a luz; mas para que testificasse da luz.
9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
Este era a luz verdadeira, que alumia a todo o homem que vem ao mundo.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
Estava no mundo, e o mundo foi feito por ele, e o mundo não o conheceu.
11 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
Veio para o que era seu, e os seus não o receberam.
12 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
Mas, a todos quantos o receberam, deu-lhes o poder de serem feitos filhos de Deus, a saber, aos que crêem no seu nome;
13 who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
Os quais não nasceram do sangue, nem da vontade da carne, nem da vontade do varão, mas de Deus.
14 And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
E o Verbo se fez carne, e habitou entre nós, e vimos a sua glória, como a glória do unigênito do Pai, cheio de graça e de verdade.
15 John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."
João testificou dele; e clamou, dizendo: Este era aquele de quem eu dizia: O que vem depois de mim é antes de mim, porque era primeiro do que eu.
16 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
E todos nós recebemos também da sua plenitude, e graça por graça.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Porque a lei foi dada por Moisés; a graça e a verdade vieram por Jesus Cristo.
18 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
Deus nunca foi visto por alguém. O Filho unigênito, que está no seio do Pai, ele no-lo declarou.
19 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
E este é o testemunho de João, quando os judeus mandaram de Jerusalém sacerdotes e levitas para que lhe perguntassem: Quem és tu
20 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
E confessou, e não negou; confessou: Eu não sou o Cristo.
21 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
E perguntaram-lhe: Pois que? És tu Elias? E disse: Não sou. És tu profeta? E respondeu: Não.
22 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
Disseram-lhe pois: Quem és? para que demos resposta àqueles que nos enviaram; que dizes de ti mesmo?
23 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
Disse: Eu sou a voz do que clama no deserto: endireitai o caminho do Senhor, como disse o profeta Isaias.
24 They were Pharisees who had been sent.
E os que tinham sido enviados eram dos fariseus;
25 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
E perguntaram-lhe, e disseram-lhe: Porque batizas pois, se tu não és o Cristo, nem Elias, nem o profeta?
26 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
João respondeu-lhes, dizendo: Eu batizo com água; mas no meio de vós está um a quem vós não conheceis.
27 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
Este é aquele que vem após mim, que já foi antes de mim, do qual eu não sou digno de desatar a correia da alparca.
28 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Estas coisas aconteceram em Bethania, da outra banda do Jordão, onde João estava batizando.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
No dia seguinte João viu a Jesus, que vinha para ele, e disse: Eis aqui o Cordeiro de Deus, que tira o pecado do mundo.
30 This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
Este é aquele do qual eu disse: Após mim vem um varão que já foi antes de mim; porque já era primeiro do que eu.
31 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
E eu não o conhecia; mas, para que fosse manifestado a Israel, por isso vim eu batizando com água.
32 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
E João testificou, dizendo: Eu vi o espírito descer do céu como uma pomba, e repousar sobre ele.
33 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
E eu não o conhecia, mas o que me mandou a batizar com água esse me disse: Sobre aquele que vires descer o espírito, e repousar sobre ele, esse é o que batiza com o Espírito Santo.
34 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
E eu vi, e tenho testificado que este é o Filho de Deus.
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
No dia seguinte João estava outra vez ali, e dois dos seus discípulos;
36 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
E, vendo por ali andar a Jesus, disse: Eis aqui o Cordeiro de Deus.
37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
E os dois discípulos ouviram-no dizer isto, e seguiram a Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
E Jesus, voltando-se e vendo que eles o seguiam, disse-lhes: Que buscais? E eles lhe disseram: rabi, (que, traduzido, quer dizer, Mestre) onde moras?
39 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
Ele lhes disse: Vinde, e vede. Foram, e viram onde morava, e ficaram com ele aquele dia: e era já quase a hora décima.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
Era André, irmão de Simão Pedro, um dos dois que ouviram aquilo de João, e o haviam seguido.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
Este achou primeiro a seu irmão Simão, e disse-lhe: Já achamos o Messias (que, traduzido, é o Christo).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
E levou-o a Jesus. E, olhando Jesus para ele, disse: Tu és Simão, filho de Jonas; tu serás chamado Cephas (que quer dizer Pedro).
43 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
No dia seguinte quis Jesus ir à Galiléia, e achou a Felipe, e disse-lhe: Segue-me.
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
E Felipe era de Betsaida, cidade de André e de Pedro.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
Felipe achou Nathanael, e disse-lhe: Havemos achado aquele de quem Moisés escreveu na lei, e os profetas, a saber: Jesus de Nazareth, filho de José.
46 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
Disse-lhe Nathanael: Pode vir alguma coisa boa de Nazareth? Disse-lhe Felipe: Vem, e vê.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
Jesus viu Nathanael vir ter com ele, e disse dele: Eis aqui um verdadeiro israelita, em quem não há dolo.
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
Disse-lhe Nathanael: de onde me conheces tu? Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Antes que Felipe te chamasse, te vi eu, estando tu debaixo da figueira.
49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
Nathanael respondeu, e disse-lhe: rabi, tu és o Filho de Deus, tu és o Rei de Israel.
50 "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Porque te disse: Vi-te debaixo da figueira, crês? coisas maiores do que estas verás.
51 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
E disse-lhe: Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que daqui em diante vereis o céu aberto, e os anjos de Deus subirem e descerem sobre o Filho do homem.
