Luke 8
1 Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of 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 and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
e algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios;
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
e Joana, a mulher de Cuza, mordomo de Herodes; e Susana, e muitas outras, que os serviam com seus bens.
4 And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
E quando se ajuntou uma multidão, e vindo a ele de todas as cidades, disse por parábola:
5 "The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
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 Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
E outra [parte] caiu sobre a pedra; e nascida, secou-se, porque não tinha umidade.
7 Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
E outra [parte] caiu entre espinhos, e nascendo com ela, os espinhos a sufocaram.
8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
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 The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
E os seus discípulos lhe perguntaram: Que parábola é esta?
10 "To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet 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 The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
Esta é, pois, a parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus.
12 Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should 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 Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes 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 That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
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 as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
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 "When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room 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 There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
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 Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall 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 came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
E vieram a ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, mas não conseguiam chegar a ele por causa da multidão.
20 But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."
E foi-lhe anunciado, dizendo: “Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão fora, e querem te ver”.
21 "My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
Porém, ele lhes respondeu: “Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a praticam”.
22 One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So 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 During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
E enquanto navegavam, [Jesus] adormeceu; então desceu uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se [de água], e estavam em perigo.
24 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging 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 "Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, 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 Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.
E navegaram para a terra dos gerasenos, que é do lado oposto à Galileia.
27 Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in 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 said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."
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 already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
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 "What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of 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 there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
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 The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
Os demônios saíram daquele homem e entraram nos porcos; e a manada se lançou de um precipício no lago e se afogou.
34 The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
Quando os que cuidavam [dos porcos] viram o que havia acontecido, fugiram; então foram anunciar na cidade e nos campos.
35 whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
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 And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como aquele endemoninhado havia sido liberto.
37 Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
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 But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
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 home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that 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 was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
E aconteceu que, quando Jesus voltou, a multidão o recebeu; porque todos o estavam esperando.
41 Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated 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 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on 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 And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
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 came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
Ela se aproximou [de Jesus] por detrás, e tocou a borda de sua roupa; e logo o fluxo de seu sangue parou.
45 "Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
E Jesus disse: “Quem me tocou?” Enquanto todos negavam, disse Pedro: Mestre, as multidões te apertam e empurram!
46 "Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."
Jesus disse: “Alguém me tocou, pois sei que poder saiu de mim”.
47 Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
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 "Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
E ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te sarou; vai em paz”.
49 While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
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 Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
Porém quando Jesus o ouviu, respondeu-lhe: “Não temas; crê somente, e ela será curada”.
51 So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and 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 The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for 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 And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
E riam dele, porque sabiam que estava morta.
54 He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
Porém ele, depois de expulsá-los todos, segurou a mão dela e clamou: “Levanta-te, menina”.
55 And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
Então seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e [Jesus] mandou que dessem de comer a ela.
56 Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
E seus pais ficaram maravilhados, mas ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia acontecido.
