João 7
1 E depois disto Jesus andava pela Galilea, e já não queria andar pela Judeia, porquanto os judeus procuravam mata-lo.
After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
2 E estava próxima a festa dos judeus, a dos tabernáculos.
But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
3 Disseram-lhe pois seus irmãos: sai daqui, e vai para a Judeia, para que também os teus discípulos vejam as obras que fazes.
Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
4 Porque ninguém, que procura ser conhecido, faz coisa alguma em oculto. Se fazes estas coisas, manifesta-te ao mundo.
No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
5 Porque nem ainda seus irmãos criam nele.
[They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
6 Disse-lhes pois Jesus: Ainda não é chegado o meu tempo, mas o vosso tempo sempre está pronto.
So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
7 O mundo não vos pode aborrecer, mas ele me aborrece a mim, porquanto dele testifico que as suas obras são más.
[The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
8 Subi vós a esta festa: eu não subo ainda a esta festa; porque ainda o meu tempo não está cumprido.
You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
9 E, havendo-lhes dito estas coisas, ficou na Galilea.
After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
10 Mas, tendo seus irmãos já subido à festa, então subiu ele também, não manifestamente, mas como em oculto.
However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
11 Ora os judeus buscavam-no na festa, e diziam: Onde está ele?
At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
12 E havia grande murmuração entre a multidão a respeito dele. Diziam alguns: ele é bom. E outros diziam: Não, antes engana o povo
Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
13 Todavia ninguém falava dele abertamente, por medo dos judeus.
But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
14 Porém, no meio da festa, subiu Jesus ao templo, e ensinava.
In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
15 E os judeus maravilhavam-se, dizendo: Como sabe este letras, não as tendo aprendido?
The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
16 Jesus lhes respondeu, e disse: A minha doutrina não é minha, mas daquele que me enviou.
Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
17 Se alguém quizer fazer a vontade dele, da mesma doutrina conhecerá se é de Deus, ou se eu falo de mim mesmo.
Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
18 Quem fala de si mesmo busca a sua própria glória, mas o que busca a glória daquele que o enviou esse é verdadeiro, e não há nele injustiça.
Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
19 Não vos deu Moisés a lei? e nenhum de vós observa a lei. Porque procurais matar-me?
[Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
20 A multidão respondeu, e disse: Tens demônio; quem procura matar-te?
Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
21 Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhes: Fiz uma obra, e todos vos maravilhais.
Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
22 Por isso Moisés vos deu a circuncisão (não que fosse de Moisés, mas dos paes), e no sábado circuncidais um homem.
Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
23 Se o homem recebe a circuncisão no sábado, para que a lei de Moisés não seja quebrantada, indignais-vos contra mim, porque no sábado curei de todo um homem?
You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
24 Não julgueis segundo a aparência, mas julgai segundo a reta justiça.
Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
25 Então alguns dos de Jerusalém diziam: Não é este o que procuram matar?
Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
26 E ei-lo ai está falando livremente, e nada lhe dizem. Porventura sabem verdadeiramente os príncipes que este é o Cristo?
He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
27 Mas bem sabemos de onde este é; porém, quando vier o Cristo, ninguém saberá de onde ele é.
But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Clamava pois Jesus no templo, ensinando, e dizendo: Vós conheceis-me, e sabeis de onde sou, e eu não vim por mim mesmo, mas aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro, o qual vós não conheceis.
[They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
29 Porém eu conheço-o, porque dele sou e ele me enviou.
But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
30 Procuravam pois prendê-lo, mas ninguém lançou mão dele, porque ainda não era chegada a sua hora.
Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
31 E muitos da multidão creram nele, e diziam: Quando o Cristo vier, fará ainda mais sinais do que os que este tem feito?
But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
32 Os fariseus ouviram que a multidão murmurava dele estas coisas; e os fariseus e os principais dos sacerdotes mandaram servidores a prendê-lo.
The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
33 Disse-lhes pois Jesus: Ainda um pouco de tempo estou convosco, e vou para aquele que me enviou.
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
34 Vós me buscareis, e não me achareis; e aonde eu estou vós não podeis vir
Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
35 Disseram pois os judeus uns para os outros: Para onde irá este, que o não acharemos? Irá porventura para os dispersos entre os gregos, e ensinar os gregos?
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
36 Que palavra é esta que disse: buscar-me-eis, e não me achareis; e, Aonde eu estou vós não podeis ir?
When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
37 E no último dia, o grande dia da festa, Jesus pôs-se em pé, e clamou, dizendo: Se alguém tem sede, venha a mim, e beba.
[On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
38 Quem crê em mim, como diz a escritura, rios d'água viva manarão do seu ventre.
Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
39 E isto disse ele do espírito que haviam de receber os que nele cressem; porque o Espírito Santo ainda não fôra dado, porque ainda Jesus não tinha sido glorificado.
When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
40 Então muitos da multidão, ouvindo esta palavra, diziam: Verdadeiramente este é o profeta.
When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
41 Outros diziam: Este é o Cristo: mas diziam outros: Vem pois o Cristo da Galiléia?
Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
42 Não diz a escritura que o Cristo vem da descendência de David, e de Belém, da aldeia de onde era David?
(Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
43 Assim entre o povo havia dissensão por causa dele.
So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
44 E alguns deles queriam prendê-lo, mas ninguém lançou mão dele.
Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
45 E os servidores foram ter com os principais dos sacerdotes e fariseus; e eles lhes disseram: Porque o não trouxestes?
So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
46 Responderam os servidores: Nunca homem algum falou assim como este homem.
They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
47 Responderam-lhes pois os fariseus: também vós fostes enganados?
Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
48 Creu nele porventura algum dos principais ou dos fariseus?
(None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
49 Mas esta multidão, que não sabe a lei, é maldita.
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
50 Nicodemos (que era um deles, o que de noite viera ter com Jesus) disse-lhes:
Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
51 Porventura condena a nossa lei um homem sem primeiro o ouvir e ter conhecimento do que faz?
“[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
52 Responderam eles, e disseram-lhe: Tu és também da Galiléia? Examina, e verás que da Galiléia nenhum profeta surgiu.
They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
53 E cada um foi para sua casa.
[Then they all left and went to their own homes.
