< Lucas 3 >
1 E no anno quinze do imperio de Tiberio Cesar, sendo Poncio Pilatos presidente da Judea, Herodes tetrarcha da Galilea, e seu irmão Philippe tetrarcha da Iturea e da provincia de Traconites, e Lysaneas tetrarcha da Abylinia,
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Sendo Annás e Caiphás summos sacerdotes, veiu no deserto a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacharias.
Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 E percorreu toda a terra ao redor do Jordão, prégando o baptismo de arrependimento, para o perdão dos peccados;
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
4 Segundo o que está escripto no livro das palavras do propheta Isaias, que diz: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparae o caminho do Senhor; endireitae as suas veredas.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;
5 Todo o valle se encherá, e todo o monte e outeiro se abaixará; e os caminhos tortos se endireitarão, e os caminhos escabrosos se aplanarão;
every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 E toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Dizia pois João á multidão que sahia a ser baptizada por elle: Raça de viboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira que está para vir?
Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Dae pois fructos dignos de arrependimento, e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos Abrahão por pae; porque eu vos digo que até d'estas pedras pode Deus suscitar filhos a Abrahão.
Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 E tambem já está posto o machado á raiz das arvores; toda a arvore, pois, que não dá bom fructo, corta-se e lança-se no fogo.
And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 E a multidão o interrogava, dizendo: Que faremos pois?
And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?
11 E, respondendo elle, disse-lhes: Quem tiver duas tunicas, reparta com o que não tem, e quem tiver alimentos faça da mesma maneira.
He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
12 E chegaram tambem uns publicanos, para serem baptizados, e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
13 E elle lhes disse: Não peçaes mais do que o que vos está ordenado.
And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 E uns soldados o interrogaram tambem, dizendo: E nós que faremos? E elle lhes disse: Não trateis mal, nem defraudeis alguem, e contentae-vos com o vosso soldo.
And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.
15 E, estando o povo em expectação, e pensando todos de João, em seus corações, se porventura seria o Christo,
While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,
16 Respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, baptizo-vos com agua, mas vem um mais poderoso do que eu, a quem eu não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; esse vos baptizará com o Espirito Sancto e com fogo.
John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
17 E a sua pá está em sua mão; e limpará a sua eira, e ajuntará o trigo no seu celleiro, porém queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.
His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 E assim, admoestando, muitas outras coisas tambem annunciava ao povo.
With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.
19 Sendo, porém, o tetrarcha Herodes reprehendido por elle por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Philippe, e por todas as maldades que Herodes tinha feito,
But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,
20 Accrescentou a todas as outras ainda esta, de encerrar João n'um carcere.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 E aconteceu que, como todo o povo fosse baptizado, e sendo baptizado tambem Jesus, e orando, abriu-se o céu,
And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,
22 E o Espirito Sancto desceu sobre elle em forma corporea, como uma pomba; e ouviu-se uma voz do céu, que dizia: Tu és o meu filho amado, em ti me tenho comprazido.
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.
