Lucas 1
1 Tendo pois muitos emprehendido pôr em ordem a narração das coisas que entre nós se cumpriram,
Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
2 Segundo nos transmittiram os mesmos que as viram desde o principio, e foram ministros da palavra,
even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
3 Pareceu-me tambem a mim conveniente escrevel-as a ti, ó excellente Theophilo, por sua ordem, havendo-me já informado minuciosamente de tudo desde o principio;
it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Para que conheças a certeza das coisas de que já estás informado.
that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
5 Existiu, no tempo de Herodes, rei da Judéa, um sacerdote chamado Zacharias, da ordem de Abias, e cuja mulher era das filhas d'Aarão; e o seu nome era Isabel.
There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 E eram ambos justos perante Deus, andando sem reprehensão em todos os mandamentos e preceitos do Senhor.
They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
7 E não tinham filhos, porquanto Isabel era esteril, e ambos eram avançados em edade.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
8 E aconteceu que, exercendo elle o sacerdocio diante de Deus, na ordem da sua turma,
It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
9 Segundo o costume sacerdotal, coube-lhe em sorte entrar no templo do Senhor a offerecer o incenso.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 E toda a multidão do povo estava fóra, orando á hora do incenso,
And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
11 E um anjo do Senhor lhe appareceu, posto em pé, á direita do altar do incenso.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 E Zacharias, vendo-o, turbou-se, e caiu temor sobre elle.
And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 Mas o anjo lhe disse: Zacharias, não temas, porque a tua oração foi ouvida, e Isabel, tua mulher, dará á luz um filho, e lhe porás o nome de João;
But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 E terás prazer e alegria, e muitos se alegrarão no seu nascimento;
And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Porque será grande diante do Senhor, e não beberá vinho, nem bebida forte, e será cheio do Espirito Sancto, até desde o ventre de sua mãe;
For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16 E converterá muitos dos filhos de Israel ao Senhor seu Deus;
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 E irá adiante d'elle no espirito e virtude d'Elias, para converter os corações dos paes aos filhos, e os rebeldes á prudencia dos justos; para preparar ao Senhor um povo bem disposto.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
18 Disse então Zacharias ao anjo: Como conhecerei isto? pois eu já sou velho, e minha mulher avançada em edade.
And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
19 E, respondendo o anjo, disse-lhe: Eu sou Gabriel, que assisto diante de Deus, e fui enviado a fallar-te e dar-te estas alegres novas;
And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.
20 E eis que ficarás mudo, e não poderás fallar até ao dia em que estas coisas aconteçam; porquanto não crêste nas minhas palavras, que a seu tempo se hão de cumprir
And behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.
21 E o povo estava esperando a Zacharias, e maravilhavam-se de que tanto se demorasse no templo.
And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
22 E, saindo elle, não lhes podia fallar; e entenderam que tinha visto alguma visão no templo. E fallava por acenos, e ficou mudo.
But when he came out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
23 E succedeu que, terminados os dias do seu ministerio, voltou para sua casa.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
24 E depois d'aquelles dias Isabel, sua mulher, concebeu, e por cinco mezes se occultou, dizendo:
And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
25 Porque isto me fez o Senhor, nos dias em que attentou em mim, para destruir o meu opprobrio entre os homens.
Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he has looked with regard upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 E, no sexto mez, foi o anjo Gabriel enviado por Deus a uma cidade da Galilea, chamada Nazareth,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 A uma virgem desposada com um varão, cujo nome era José, da casa de David; e o nome da virgem era Maria.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 E, entrando o anjo aonde ella estava, disse: Salve, agraciada; o Senhor é comtigo: bemdita tu entre as mulheres.
And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
29 E, vendo-o ella, turbou-se muito das suas palavras, e considerava que saudação seria esta.
And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
30 Disse-lhe então o anjo: Maria, não temas, porque achaste graça diante de Deus;
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
31 E eis que em teu ventre conceberás, e darás á luz um filho, e pôr-lhe-has o nome de Jesus.
And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 Este será grande, e será chamado filho do Altissimo; e o Senhor Deus lhe dará o throno de David, seu pae;
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 E disse Maria ao anjo: Como se fará isto? pois não conheço varão.
But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 E, respondendo o anjo, disse-lhe: Descerá sobre ti o Espirito Sancto, e a virtude do Altissimo te cobrirá com a sua sombra; pelo que tambem o Sancto, que de ti ha de nascer, será chamado Filho de Deus.
And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.
36 E eis que tambem Isabel, tua prima, concebeu um filho em sua velhice; e é este o sexto mez para aquella que era chamada esteril;
And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren;
37 Porque para Deus nada será impossivel.
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 Disse então Maria: Eis aqui a serva do Senhor; cumpra-se em mim segundo a tua palavra. E o anjo ausentou-se d'ella.
And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
39 E n'aquelles dias, levantando-se Maria, foi apressada ás montanhas, a uma cidade de Juda,
And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
40 E entrou em casa de Zacharias, e saudou a Isabel.
and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 E aconteceu que, ao ouvir Isabel a saudação de Maria, a creancinha saltou no seu ventre; e Isabel foi cheia do Espirito Sancto,
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
42 E exclamou com grande voz, e disse: Bemdita tu entre as mulheres, e bemdito o fructo do teu ventre.
And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 E d'onde me provém isto a mim, que a mãe do meu Senhor venha a mim?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Pois eis que, ao chegar aos meus ouvidos a voz da tua saudação, a creancinha saltou de alegria no meu ventre;
For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
45 E bemaventurada a que creu, pois hão de cumprir-se as coisas que da parte do Senhor lhe foram ditas.
And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Disse então Maria: A minha alma engrandece ao Senhor,
And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 E o meu espirito se alegra em Deus meu Salvador;
and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
48 Porque attentou na baixeza de sua serva; pois eis que desde agora todas as gerações me chamarão bemaventurada:
for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
49 Porque me fez grandes coisas o Poderoso; e sancto é o seu nome.
for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
50 E a sua misericordia é de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
51 Com o seu braço obrou valorosamente: dissipou os soberbos no pensamento de seus corações.
He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
52 Depoz dos thronos os poderosos, e elevou os humildes.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 Encheu de bens os famintos, e despediu vasios os ricos.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Auxiliou a Israel seu servo, recordando-se da sua misericordia;
He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
by remembering his mercy to Abraham and to his posterity forever. (aiōn g165)
56 E Maria ficou com ella quasi tres mezes, e depois voltou para sua casa.
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 E completou-se para Isabel o tempo de dar á luz, e teve um filho.
Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
58 E os seus visinhos e parentes ouviram que tinha Deus usado para com ella de grande misericordia, e alegraram-se com ella.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 E aconteceu que, ao oitavo dia, vieram circumcidar o menino, e lhe chamavam Zacharias, do nome de seu pae.
And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
60 E, respondendo sua mãe, disse: Não, porém será chamado João.
And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
61 E disseram-lhe: Ninguem ha na tua parentela que se chame por este nome.
And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
62 E perguntaram por acenos ao pae como queria que lhe chamassem.
And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
63 E, pedindo elle uma taboinha de escrever, escreveu, dizendo: O seu nome é João. E todos se maravilharam.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
64 E logo a bocca se lhe abriu, e a lingua se lhe soltou; e fallava, louvando a Deus.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 E veiu temor sobre todos os seus circumvisinhos, e em todas as montanhas da Judea foram divulgadas todas estas coisas.
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea.
66 E todos os que as ouviam as conservavam em seus corações, dizendo: Quem será pois este menino? E a mão do Senhor estava com elle.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 E Zacharias, seu pae, foi cheio do Espirito Sancto, e prophetizou, dizendo:
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 Bemdito o Senhor Deus d'Israel, porque visitou e remiu o seu povo,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
69 E nos levantou uma salvação poderosa na casa de David seu servo,
and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
(as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times, ) (aiōn g165)
71 Que nos livraria dos nossos inimigos e da mão de todos os que nos aborrecem;
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 Para manifestar misericordia a nossos paes, e lembrar-se do seu sancto concerto,
in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 E do juramento que jurou a Abrahão nosso pae,
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
74 De conceder-nos que, libertados da mão de nossos inimigos, o serviriamos sem temor,
that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
75 Em sanctidade e justiça perante elle, todos os dias da nossa vida.
in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 E tu, ó menino, serás chamado propheta do Altissimo, porque has de ir adiante da face do Senhor, a preparar os seus caminhos;
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways,
77 Para dar ao seu povo conhecimento da salvação, na remissão dos seus peccados;
by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
78 Pelas entranhas da misericordia do nosso Deus, com que o Oriente do alto nos visitou;
through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
79 Para alumiar aos que estão assentados em trevas e sombra de morte; a fim de dirigir os nossos pés pelo caminho da paz.
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
80 E o menino crescia, e se robustecia em espirito. E esteve nos desertos até ao dia em que havia de mostrar-se a Israel.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
