< Mateus 21 >
1 E, quando se approximaram de Jerusalem, e chegaram a Bethphage, ao monte das Oliveiras, enviou então Jesus dois discipulos, dizendo-lhes:
And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 Ide á aldeia que está defronte de vós, e logo encontrareis uma jumenta presa, e um jumentinho com ella; desprendei-a, e trazei-m'os.
saying to them, “Go on into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey bound, and a colt with her—having loosed, you bring to Me;
3 E, se alguem vos disser alguma coisa, direis que o Senhor os ha de mister: e logo os enviará.
and if anyone may say anything to you, you will say that the LORD has need of them, and immediately He will send them.”
4 Ora tudo isto aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo propheta, que diz:
And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Dizei á filha de Sião: Eis que o teu Rei ahi te vem, manso, e assentado sobre uma jumenta, e sobre um jumentinho, filho de animal sujeito ao jugo.
“Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.”
6 E, indo os discipulos, e fazendo como Jesus lhes ordenára,
And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 Trouxeram a jumenta e o jumentinho, e sobre elles pozeram os seus vestidos, e fizeram-n'o assentar em cima.
brought the donkey and the colt, and put on them their garments, and set [Him] on them;
8 E muitissima gente estendia os seus vestidos pelo caminho, e outros cortavam ramos d'arvores, e os espalhavam pelo caminho.
and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
9 E a multidão que ia adeante, e a que seguia, clamava, dizendo: Hosanna ao Filho de David; bemdito o que vem em nome do Senhor: Hosanna nas alturas.
and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is He who is coming in the Name of the LORD; Hosanna in the highest!”
10 E, entrando elle em Jerusalem, toda a cidade se alvoroçou, dizendo: Quem é este?
And He having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
11 E a multidão dizia: Este é Jesus, o Propheta de Nazareth da Galilea.
And the multitudes said, “This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 E entrou Jesus no templo de Deus, e expulsou todos os que vendiam e compravam no templo, e derribou as mesas dos cambistas e as cadeiras dos que vendiam pombas:
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers He overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
13 E disse-lhes: Está escripto: A minha casa será chamada casa de oração: mas vós a tendes convertido em covil de ladrões.
and He says to them, “It has been written: My house will be called a house of prayer; but you made it a den of robbers.”
14 E foram ter com elle ao templo cegos e côxos, e curou-os.
And there came to Him blind and lame men in the temple, and He healed them,
15 Vendo então os principaes dos sacerdotes e os escribas as maravilhas que fazia, e os meninos clamando no templo, Hosanna ao Filho de David; indignaram-se,
and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were much displeased;
16 E disseram-lhe: Ouves o que estes dizem? E Jesus lhes disse: Sim; nunca lestes: Pela bocca dos meninos e das creancinhas de peito aperfeiçoaste o louvor?
and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these say?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes, did you never read, that, Out of the mouth of babies and sucklings You prepared praise?”
17 E, deixando-os, saiu da cidade para Bethania, e ali passou a noite.
And having left them, He went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there,
18 E, de manhã, voltando para a cidade, teve fome;
and in the morning turning back to the city, He hungered,
19 E, avistando uma figueira perto do caminho, dirigiu-se a ella, e não achou n'ella senão folhas. E disse-lhe: Nunca mais nasça fructo de ti. E a figueira seccou immediatamente. (aiōn )
and having seen a certain fig tree on the way, He came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and He says to it, “No more fruit may be from you—throughout the age”; and instantly the fig tree withered. (aiōn )
20 E os discipulos, vendo isto, maravilharam-se, dizendo: Como seccou immediatamente a figueira?
And the disciples having seen, wondered, saying, “How did the fig tree instantly wither?”
21 Jesus, porém, respondendo, disse-lhes: Em verdade vos digo que, se tiverdes fé e não duvidardes, não só fareis isto á figueira, mas até, se a este monte disserdes: Ergue-te e precipita-te no mar, assim será feito;
And Jesus answering said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig tree will you do, but even if to this mountain you may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
22 E tudo o que pedirdes na oração, crendo, o recebereis.
and all—as much as you may ask in the prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 E, chegando ao templo, acercaram-se d'elle, estando já ensinando, os principes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo, dizendo: Com que auctoridade fazes isto? e quem te deu essa auctoridade?
And He having come into the temple, there came to Him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, “By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?”
24 E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Eu tambem vos perguntarei uma coisa; se m'a disserdes, tambem eu vos direi com que auctoridade faço isto.
And Jesus answering said to them, “I will ask you—I also—one word, which if you may tell Me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
25 O baptismo de João d'onde era? Do céu, ou dos homens? E pensavam entre si, dizendo: Se dissermos: Do céu, elle nos dirá: Então porque não o crestes?
the immersion of John, from where was it? From Heaven, or from men?” And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we should say, From Heaven, He will say to us, Why, then, did you not believe him?
26 E, se dissermos: Dos homens, tememos o povo, porque todos consideram João como propheta.
And if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
27 E, respondendo a Jesus, disseram: Não sabemos. Elle disse-lhes: Nem eu vos digo com que auctoridade faço isto.
And answering Jesus they said, “We have not known.” He said to them—He also, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Mas que vos parece? Um homem tinha dois filhos, e, dirigindo-se ao primeiro, disse: Filho, vae trabalhar hoje na minha vinha.
And what do you think? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, today be working in my vineyard.
29 Elle, porém, respondendo, disse: Não quero. Mas depois, arrependendo-se, foi.
And he answering said, I will not, but at last, having regretted, he went.
30 E, dirigindo-se ao segundo, fallou-lhe de egual modo; e, respondendo elle, disse: Eu vou, senhor; e não foi.
And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], lord, and did not go;
31 Qual dos dois fez a vontade do pae? Disseram-lhe elles: O primeiro. Disse-lhes Jesus: Em verdade vos digo que os publicanos e as meretrizes vos precedem no reino de Deus.
which of the two did the will of the father?” They say to Him, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the Kingdom of God,
32 Porque João veiu a vós no caminho de justiça, e não o crestes, mas os publicanos e as meretrizes o creram: vós, porém, vendo isto, nem depois vos arrependestes para o crer.
for John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, and the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, and you, having seen, did not regret at last—to believe him.
33 Ouvi ainda outra parabola: Houve um homem, pae de familia, que plantou uma vinha, e circumdou-a de um vallado, e construiu n'ella um lagar, e edificou uma torre, e arrendou-a a uns lavradores, e ausentou-se para longe:
Hear another allegory: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug in it a winepress, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad.
34 E, chegando o tempo dos fructos, enviou os seus servos aos lavradores, para receberem os seus fructos.
And when the season of the fruits came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive the fruits of it,
35 E os lavradores, apoderando-se dos servos, feriram um, mataram outro, e apedrejaram outro.
and the farmers having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
36 Depois enviou outros servos, em maior numero do que os primeiros; e fizeram-lhes o mesmo;
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
37 E por ultimo enviou-lhes seu filho, dizendo: Terão respeito a meu filho.
And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son;
38 Mas os lavradores, vendo o filho, disseram entre si: Este é o herdeiro; vinde, matemol-o, e apoderemo-nos da sua herança.
and the farmers having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
39 E, lançando mão d'elle, o arrastaram para fóra da vinha, e o mataram.
and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
40 Quando pois vier o senhor da vinha, que fará áquelles lavradores?
whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these farmers?”
41 Dizem-lhe elles: Dará affrontosa morte aos maus, e arrendará a vinha a outros lavradores, que a seus tempos lhe dêem os fructos.
They say to Him, “Evil men—he will grievously destroy them, and will give out the vineyard to other farmers who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Diz-lhes Jesus: Nunca lestes nas Escripturas: A pedra, que os edificadores rejeitaram, essa foi posta por cabeça do angulo: pelo Senhor foi feito isto, e é maravilhoso aos nossos olhos?
Jesus says to them, “Did you never read in the Writings: A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the LORD has this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
43 Portanto eu vos digo que o reino de Deus vos será tirado, e será dado a gente que dê os seus fructos.
Because of this I say to you that the Kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
44 E quem cair sobre esta pedra despedaçar-se-ha; e sobre quem ella cair esmagal-o-ha.
and he who is falling on this stone will be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.”
45 E os principes dos sacerdotes e os phariseos, ouvindo estas palavras, entenderam que fallava d'elles;
And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard His allegories, knew that He speaks of them,
46 E, pretendendo prendel-o, receiaram o povo, porquanto o tinham por propheta.
and seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding Him as a prophet.
