Lucas 7
1 E, depois de concluir todos estes discursos perante o povo, entrou em Cafarnaum.
When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 E o servo de um certo centurião, a quem muito estimava, estava doente, e moribundo.
A Captain in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill — almost at the point of death.
3 E, quando ouviu falar de Jesus, enviou-lhe uns anciãos dos judeus, rogando-lhe que viesse e curasse o seu servo.
And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish Councillors to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
4 E, chegando eles junto de Jesus, rogaram-lhe muito, dizendo: É digno de que lhe concedas isto,
When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He is a man who deserves that you should show him this favour,” they said,
5 Porque ama a nossa nação, e ele mesmo nos edificou a sinagoga.
“For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our Synagogue for us.”
6 E foi Jesus com eles; mas, quando já estava perto da casa, enviou-lhe o centurião uns amigos, dizendo-lhe: Senhor, não te incomodes, porque não sou digno de que entres debaixo do meu telhado;
So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the Captain sent some friends with the message — “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
7 Pelo que nem ainda me julguei digno de ir ter contigo; dize, porém, uma palavra, e o meu criado sarará.
That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
8 Porque também eu sou homem sujeito à autoridade, e tenho soldados sob o meu poder, e digo a este: vai; e ele vai; e a outro: Vem; e ele vem; e ao meu servo: Faze isto; e ele o faz.
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
9 E Jesus, ouvindo isto, maravilhou-se dele, e, voltando-se, disse à multidão que o seguia: Digo-vos que nem ainda em Israel tenho achado tanta fé.
Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said: “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
10 E, voltando para casa os que foram enviados, acharam são o servo enfermo.
And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
11 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, que Jesus ia a uma cidade chamada Nain, e com ele iam muitos dos seus discípulos, e uma grande multidão;
Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
12 E quando chegou perto da porta da cidade, eis que levavam um defunto, filho unigênito de sua mãe, que era viúva; e com ela ia uma grande multidão da cidade.
Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial — an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
13 E, vendo-a, o Senhor moveu-se de intima compaixão por ela, e disse-lhe: Não chores.
When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her: “Do not weep.”
14 E, chegando-se, tocou o esquife (e os que o levavam pararam), e disse: Mancebo, a ti te digo: Levanta-te.
Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said: “Young man, I am speaking to you — Rise!”
15 E o defunto assentou-se, e começou a falar; e entregou-o a sua mãe.
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
16 E de todos se apoderou o temor, e glorificavam a Deus, dizendo: Um grande profeta se levantou entre nós, e Deus visitou o seu povo.
Every one was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great Prophet has arisen among us,” they said; “and God has visited his people.”
17 E correu dele esta fama por toda a Judeia e por toda a terra circunvizinha.
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighbouring countries as well.
18 E os discípulos de João anunciaram-lhe todas estas coisas.
All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
19 E João, chamando dois dos seus discípulos, enviou-os a Jesus, dizendo: És tu aquele que havia de vir, ou esperamos outro?
So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask — “Are you ‘The Coming One,’ or are we to look for some one else?”
20 E, quando aqueles homens chegaram junto dele, disseram: João Batista enviou-nos a dizer-te: És tu aquele que havia de vir, ou esperamos outro?
When these men found Jesus, they said: “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask — ‘Are you ‘The Coming One,’ or are we to look for somebody else?’”
21 E, na mesma hora, curou muitos de enfermidades, e males, e espíritos maus, e deu vista a muitos cegos.
At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
22 Respondendo então Jesus, disse-lhes: Ide, e anunciai a João as coisas que tendes visto e ouvido: que os cegos veem, os coxos andam, os leprosos são purificados, os surdos ouvem, os mortos ressuscitam e o Evangelho anuncia-se aos pobres.
So his answer to the question was: “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard — the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the Good News is told to the poor.
23 E bem-aventurado aquele que em mim se não escandalizar.
And blessed is the man who finds no hindrance in me.”
24 E, tendo-se retirado os mensageiros de João, começou a dizer à multidão acerca de João: Que saístes a ver ao deserto? uma cana abalada pelo vento
When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John:
25 Mas que saístes a vêr? um homem trajado de vestidos delicados? Eis que os que andam com preciosos vestidos, e em delícias, estão nos paços reais.
“What did you go out into the Wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
26 Mas que saístes a vêr? um profeta? sim, vos digo, e muito mais do que profeta.
What then did you go to see? A Prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
27 Este é aquele de quem está escrito: Eis que envio o meu anjo adiante da tua face, o qual preparará diante de ti o teu caminho.
This is the very man of whom Scripture says — ‘Behold, I am sending my Messenger before thy face, And he shall prepare thy way before thee.’
28 Porque eu vos digo que, entre os nascidos de mulheres, não há maior profeta do que João Batista; mas o menor no reino de Deus é maior do que ele.
There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the lowliest in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 E todo o povo que o ouviu e os publicanos justificaram a Deus, tendo sido batizados com o batismo de João.
(All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax-gatherers, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
30 Mas os fariseus e os doutores da lei rejeitaram o conselho de Deus contra si mesmos, não tendo sido batizados por ele.
But the Pharisees and the Students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
31 E disse o Senhor: A quem pois compararei os homens desta geração, e a quem são semelhantes?
“To what then,” Jesus continued, “shall I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
32 São semelhantes aos meninos que, assentados nas praças, clamam uns aos outros, e dizem: tocamos-vos flauta, e não dançastes; cantamos-vos lamentações, e não chorastes,
They are like some little children who are sitting in the market-place and calling out to one another — ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
33 Porque veio João Batista, que nem comia pão nem bebia vinho, e dizeis: Tem demônio;
For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
34 Veio o Filho do homem, que come e bebe, e dizeis: Eis ai um homem comilão, e bebedor de vinho, amigo dos publicanos e dos pecadores.
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and outcasts.’
35 Mas a sabedoria é justificada por todos os seus filhos.
And yet Wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 E rogou-lhe um dos fariseus que comesse com ele; e, entrando em casa do fariseo, assentou-se à mesa.
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at table.
37 E eis que uma mulher da cidade, uma pecadora, sabendo que ele estava à mesa em casa do fariseo, levou um vaso de alabastro com unguênto;
Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having ascertained that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
38 E, estando detraz, aos seus pés, chorando, começou a regar-lhe os pés com lágrimas, e enxugava-lhos com os cabelos da sua cabeça; e beijava-lhe os pés, e ungia-lhos com o unguênto.
and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 E, quando isto viu o fariseo que o tinha convidado, falava consigo, dizendo: Se este fôra profeta, bem saberia quem e qual é a mulher que o tocou, porque é pecadora.
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself: “Had this man been ‘The Prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
40 E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhe: Simão, uma coisa tenho a dizer-te. E ele disse: Dize-a, Mestre.
But, addressing him, Jesus said: “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, Teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began:
41 Um certo credor tinha dois devedores; um devia-lhe quinhentos dinheiros, e outro cincoênta.
“There were two people who were in debt to a money-lender; one owed fifty pounds, and the other five.
42 E, não tendo eles com que pagar, perdoou-lhes a ambos a dívida. Dize pois qual deles o amará mais?
As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
43 E Simão, respondendo, disse: Tenho para mim que é aquele a quem mais perdoou. E ele lhe disse: Julgaste bem.
“I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
44 E, voltando-se para a mulher, disse a Simão: Vês tu esta mulher? Entrei em tua casa, e não me deste água para os pés; mas esta regou-me os pés com lágrimas, e mos enxugou com os seus cabelos.
and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I came into your house — you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 Não me deste ósculo, mas esta, desde que entrou, não tem cessado de me beijar os pés.
You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Não me ungiste a cabeça com óleo, mas esta ungiu-me os pés com unguênto.
You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Por isso te digo que os seus muitos pecados lhe são perdoados, porque muito amou; mas aquele a quem pouco se perdoa pouco ama.
And for this, I tell you, her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned, because she has loved greatly; but one who has little pardoned him, loves but little.”
48 E disse-lhe a ela: Os teus pecados te são perdoados.
Then he said to the woman: “Your sins have been pardoned.”
49 E os que estavam à mesa começaram a dizer entre si: Quem é este, que até perdoa pecados?
On this, those at table began to say to one another: “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
50 E disse à mulher: A tua fé te salvou: vai-te em paz.
But Jesus said to the woman: “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
