Lucas 8
1 E aconteceu, depois disto, que andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus: e os doze andavam com ele,
Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 E também algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Magdalena, da qual sairam sete demônios.
and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
3 E Joanna, mulher de Chuza, procurador d'Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com suas fazendas.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
4 E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo ter com ele de todas as cidades, disse por parábola:
And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
5 Um semeador saiu a semear a sua semente, e, quando semeava, caiu uma parte junto do caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram;
"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
6 E outra parte caiu sobre pedra, e, nascida, secou-se, porquanto não tinha umidade;
Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
7 E outra parte caiu entre espinhos, e, nascidos com ela os espinhos, a sufocaram;
Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
8 E outra parte caiu em boa terra, e, nascida, produziu fruto, cento por um. Dizendo ele estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
9 E os seus discípulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parábola é esta?
The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
10 E ele disse: A vós é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros por parábolas, para que, vendo, não vejam, e, ouvindo, não entendam.
"To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
11 Esta é pois a parábola: A semente é a palavra de Deus;
The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
12 E os que estão junto do caminho, estes são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que se não salvem, crendo;
Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 E os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas estes não tem raiz, pois crêem por algum tempo, e no tempo da tentação se desviam;
Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
14 E a que caiu entre espinhos, estes são os que ouviram, e, indo por diante, se sufocam com os cuidados, e riquezas e deleites da vida, e não dão fruto com perfeição;
That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
15 E a que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto em perseverança.
But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
16 E ninguém, acendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; porém põe-na no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz.
"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.
17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem coisa escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir à luz
There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
18 Vede pois como ouvis; porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver até o que parece que tem lhe será tirado.
Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
19 E foram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam chegar a ele, por causa da multidão.
Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
20 E foi-lhe anunciado por alguns, dizendo: Estão lá fora tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te.
But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."
21 Porém, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.
"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
22 E aconteceu que, num daqueles dias, entrou num barco, e com ele os seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos para a outra banda do lago. E partiram.
One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
23 E, navegando eles, adormeceu; e sobreveio uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se d'água, e perigavam.
During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
24 E, chegando-se a ele, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e as ondas d'água; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança.
So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.
25 E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E eles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e à água manda, e lhe obedecem?
"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."
26 E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galiléia.
Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.
27 E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que desde muito tempo era possesso de demônios, e não andava vestido, e não habitava em casa, mas nos sepulcros.
Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 E, vendo a Jesus, prostrou-se diante dele, exclamando, e dizendo com grande voz: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus altíssimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."
29 Porque mandava ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; porque já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavam-no preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos.
For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
30 E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado nele muitos demônios.
"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;
and they besought Him not to command them to be gone into the Bottomless Pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 E andava ali pastando no monte uma manada de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e concedeu-lho.
Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
33 E, tendo saído os demônios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada arrojou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago, e afogaram-se.
The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
34 E aqueles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram anuncia-lo na cidade e nos campos.
The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
35 E sairam a ver o que tinha acontecido, e vieram ter com Jesus; e acharam o homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, vestido, e em seu juízo, assentado aos pés de Jesus: e temeram.
whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
36 E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como fôra salvo aquele endemoninhado.
And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
37 E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles; porque estavam possuídos de grande temor. E, entrando ele no barco, voltou.
Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
38 E aquele homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com ele; porém Jesus o despediu, dizendo:
But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
39 Torna para tua casa, e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E ele foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.
"Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 E aconteceu que, voltando Jesus, a multidão o recebeu, porque todos o estavam esperando.
Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
41 E eis que chegou um varão, cujo nome era Jairo, e era príncipe da sinagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;
Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
42 Porque tinha uma filha única, quase de doze anos, e estava à morte. E, indo ele, apertava-o a multidão.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.
43 E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e gastara com os médicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum pudera ser curada,
And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
44 Chegando por detraz dele, tocou a orla do seu vestido, e o fluxo do seu sangue logo estancou.
came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
45 E disse Jesus; Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com ele: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e oprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou?
"Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
46 E disse Jesus: alguém me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude.
"Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."
47 Então a mulher, vendo que não se ocultava, aproximou-se tremendo, e, prostrando-se ante ele, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que o havia tocado, e como logo sarara.
Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
48 E ele lhe disse: Tem bom ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou: vai em paz.
"Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
49 Estando ele ainda falando, chegou um dos do príncipe da sinagoga, dizendo: A tua filha já está morta, não incomodes o Mestre.
While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
50 Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê somente, e será salva.
Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
51 E, entrando em casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Thiago, e a João, e ao pai e à mãe da menina.
So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.
52 E todos choravam, e a pranteavam; e ele disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme.
The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que estava morta.
And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Porém ele, pondo-os todos fora, e pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina.
He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe dessem de comer.
And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
56 E seus pais ficaram maravilhados; e ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia sucedido.
Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
