< Mateus 9 >

1 E, entrando no barco, passou para a outra banda, e chegou á sua cidade. E eis que lhe trouxeram um paralytico deitado n'uma cama.
Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
2 E Jesus, vendo a sua fé, disse ao paralytico: Filho, tem bom animo, perdoados te são os teus peccados.
Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
3 E eis que alguns dos escribas diziam entre si: Elle blasphema.
On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
4 Mas Jesus, conhecendo os seus pensamentos, disse: Porque ajuizaes mal em vossos corações?
But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
5 Pois qual é mais facil? dizer: Perdoados te são os teus peccados; ou dizer: Levanta-te e anda?
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
6 Ora, para que saibaes que o Filho do homem tem na terra auctoridade para perdoar peccados (disse então ao paralytico): Levanta-te; toma a tua cama, e vae para tua casa.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
7 E, levantando-se, foi para sua casa.
And the man got up and went home.
8 E a multidão, vendo isto, maravilhou-se, e glorificou a Deus, que dera tal auctoridade aos homens.
When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 E Jesus, passando adiante d'ali, viu assentado na alfandega um homem, chamado Mattheus, e disse-lhe: Segue-me. E elle, levantando-se, o seguiu.
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
10 E aconteceu que, estando elle em casa assentado á mesa, chegaram muitos publicanos e peccadores, e assentaram-se juntamente á mesa com Jesus e seus discipulos.
Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
11 E os phariseos, vendo isto, disseram aos seus discipulos: Porque come o vosso Mestre com os publicanos e peccadores?
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Jesus, porém, ouvindo, disse-lhes: Não necessitam de medico os sãos, senão os doentes.
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13 Ide, porém, e aprendei o que significa: Misericordia quero, e não sacrificio. Porque eu não vim para chamar os justos, mas os peccadores, ao arrependimento.
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
14 Então chegaram ao pé d'elle os discipulos de João, dizendo: Porque jejuamos nós e os phariseos muitas vezes, e os teus discipulos não jejuam?
At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
15 E disse-lhes Jesus: Podem porventura andar tristes os filhos das bodas, emquanto o esposo está com elles? Dias, porém, virão em que lhes será tirado o esposo, e então jejuarão.
Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
16 E ninguem deita remendo de panno novo em vestido velho, porque similhante remendo rompe o vestido, e faz-se maior o rasgão;
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
17 Nem deitam vinho novo em odres velhos; aliás rompem-se os odres, e entorna-se o vinho, e os odres estragam-se; mas deitam vinho novo em odres novos, e ambos se conservam.
Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 Dizendo-lhes elle estas coisas, eis que chegou um principal, e o adorou, dizendo: Minha filha falleceu agora mesmo; mas vem, impõe-lhe a tua mão, e ella viverá.
While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 E Jesus, levantando-se, seguiu-o, elle e os seus discipulos.
So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
20 E eis que uma mulher que havia já doze annos padecia de um fluxo de sangue, chegando por detraz d'elle, tocou a orla do seu vestido;
Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
21 Porque dizia comsigo: Se eu tão sómente tocar o seu vestido, ficarei sã.
She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
22 E Jesus, voltando-se, e vendo-a, disse: Tem animo, filha, a tua fé te salvou. E immediatamente a mulher ficou sã.
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
23 E Jesus, chegando a casa d'aquelle principal, e vendo os instrumentistas, e o povo em alvoroço,
When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
24 Disse-lhes: Retirae-vos, que a menina não está morta, mas dorme. E riam-se d'elle.
“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
25 E, logo que o povo foi posto fóra, entrou, e pegou-lhe na mão, e a menina levantou-se.
After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26 E espalhou-se aquella noticia por todo aquelle paiz.
And the news about this spread throughout that region.
27 E, partindo Jesus d'ali, seguiram-o dois cegos, clamando, e dizendo: Tem compaixão de nós, filho de David.
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 E, quando chegou a casa, os cegos se approximaram d'elle; e Jesus disse-lhes: Credes vós que eu possa fazer isto? Disseram-lhe elles: Sim, Senhor.
After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
29 Tocou então os olhos d'elles, dizendo: Seja-vos feito segundo a vossa fé.
Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
30 E os olhos se lhes abriram. E Jesus ameaçou-os, dizendo: Olhae não o saiba alguem.
And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
31 Mas, tendo elle saido, divulgaram a sua fama por toda aquella terra.
But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
32 E, havendo-se elles retirado, trouxeram-lhe um homem mudo e endemoninhado.
As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
33 E, expulso o demonio, fallou o mudo; e a multidão se maravilhou, dizendo: Nunca tal se viu em Israel.
And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Mas os phariseos diziam: Elle expulsa os demonios pelo principe dos demonios.
But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
35 E percorria Jesus todas as cidades e aldeias, ensinando nas synagogas d'elles, e prégando o evangelho do reino, e curando todas as enfermidades e molestias entre o povo.
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
36 E, vendo a multidão, teve grande compaixão d'elles, porque andavam desgarrados e errantes, como ovelhas que não teem pastor.
When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Então disse aos seus discipulos: A seara é realmente grande, mas poucos os ceifeiros.
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
38 Rogae pois ao Senhor da seara que mande ceifeiros para a sua seara.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
