Mateus 10
1 E, chamando os seus doze discipulos, deu-lhes poder sobre os espiritos immundos, para os expulsarem, e curarem toda a enfermidade e todo o mal.
He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
2 Ora os nomes dos doze apostolos são estes: O primeiro, Simão, chamado Pedro, e André, seu irmão; Thiago, filho de Zebedeo, e João, seu irmão;
[Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
3 Philippe e Bartholomeo; Thomé e Mattheus, o publicano; Thiago, filho de Alpheo, e Lebbeo, appellidado Thaddeo;
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
4 Simão Cananita, e Judas Iscariotes, o mesmo que o trahiu.
Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
5 Jesus enviou estes doze, e lhes ordenou, dizendo: Não ireis pelo caminho das gentes, nem entrareis em cidade de samaritanos;
When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
6 Mas ide antes ás ovelhas perdidas da casa d'Israel;
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
7 E, indo, prégae, dizendo: É chegado o reino dos céus.
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
8 Curae os enfermos, purificae os leprosos, resuscitae os mortos, expulsae os demonios: de graça recebestes, de graça dae.
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
9 Não possuaes oiro, nem prata, nem cobre, em vossos cintos,
Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
10 Nem alforges para o caminho, nem duas tunicas, nem alparcas, nem bordão; porque digno é o operario do seu alimento.
11 E, em qualquer cidade ou aldeia em que entrardes, procurae saber quem n'ella seja digno, e hospedae-vos ahi até que vos retireis.
In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
12 E, quando entrardes n'alguma casa, saudae-a;
13 E, se a casa fôr digna, desça sobre ella a vossa paz; porém, se não fôr digna, torne para vós a vossa paz.
If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
14 E, se ninguem vos receber, nem escutar vossas palavras, saindo d'aquella casa ou cidade, sacudi o pó dos vossos pés.
If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
15 Em verdade vos digo que, no dia do juizo, haverá menos rigor para o paiz de Sodoma e Gomorrah do que para aquella cidade.
Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
16 Eis que vos envio como ovelhas ao meio de lobos; portanto sêde prudentes como as serpentes e simplices como as pombas.
“Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
17 Acautelae-vos, porém, dos homens; porque elles vos entregarão aos synhedrios, e vos açoitarão nas suas synagogas;
Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
18 E sereis até conduzidos á presença dos governadores e dos reis por causa de mim, para lhes servir de testemunho a elles e aos gentios.
[And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
19 Mas, quando vos entregaram, não estejaes cuidadosos de como, ou o que haveis de fallar, porque n'aquella mesma hora vos será ministrado o que haveis de dizer.
When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
20 Porque não sois vós que fallaes, mas o Espirito de vosso Pae, que falla em vós.
It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
21 E o irmão entregará á morte o irmão, e o pae o filho; e os filhos se levantarão contra os paes, e os matarão.
[You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
22 E odiados de todos sereis por causa do meu nome: mas aquelle que perseverar até ao fim será salvo.
Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
23 Quando pois vos perseguirem n'esta cidade, fugi para outra; porque em verdade vos digo que não acabareis de percorrer as cidades d'Israel, sem que venha o Filho do homem.
When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
24 Não é o discipulo mais do que o mestre, nem o servo mais do que o seu senhor.
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
25 Baste ao discipulo ser como seu mestre, e ao servo como seu senhor. se chamaram Beelzebú ao pae de familia, quanto mais aos seus domesticos?
You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
26 Portanto, não os temaes; porque nada ha encoberto que não haja de revelar-se, nem occulto que não haja de saber-se.
“Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
27 O que vos digo em trevas dizei-o em luz; e o que escutaes ao ouvido prégae-o sobre os telhados.
[So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
28 E não temaes os que matam o corpo, e não podem matar a alma: temei antes aquelle que pode fazer perecer no inferno a alma e o corpo. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Não se vendem dois passarinhos por um ceitil? e nenhum d'elles cairá em terra sem a vontade de vosso Pae.
[Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
30 E até mesmo os cabellos da vossa cabeça estão todos contados.
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
31 Não temaes pois: mais valeis vós do que muitos passarinhos.
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
32 Portanto, qualquer que me confessar diante dos homens, eu o confessarei diante de meu Pae, que está nos céus.
If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
33 Mas qualquer que me negar diante dos homens, eu o negarei tambem diante de meu Pae, que está nos céus.
But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
34 Não cuideis que vim trazer a paz á terra; não vim trazer a paz, mas a espada;
“Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
35 Porque eu vim pôr em dissensão o homem contra seu pae, e a filha contra sua mãe, e a nora contra sua sogra;
Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
36 E serão os inimigos do homem os que são seus familiares.
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
37 Quem ama o pae ou a mãe mais do que a mim não é digno de mim; e quem ama o filho ou a filha mais do que a mim não é digno de mim.
People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
38 E quem não toma a sua cruz, e não segue após mim, não é digno de mim.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
39 Quem achar a sua vida perdel-a-ha; e quem perder a sua vida por amor de mim achal-a-ha.
People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
40 Quem vos recebe, me recebe a mim; e quem me recebe a mim, recebe aquelle que me enviou.
“[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
41 Quem recebe um propheta em qualidade de propheta, receberá galardão de propheta; e quem recebe um justo em qualidade de justo, receberá galardão de justo.
Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
42 E qualquer que tiver dado só que seja um copo d'agua fria a um d'estes pequenos, em qualidade de discipulo, em verdade vos digo que de modo nenhum perderá o seu galardão.
[Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
