João 4
1 Quando, pois, o Senhor entendeu que os fariseus ouviram que Jesus fazia e batizava mais discípulos que João
[At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
2 (ainda que Jesus mesmo não batizava, mas sim seus discípulos),
3 Ele deixou a Judeia, e foi outra vez para a Galileia.
When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
4 E foi necessário passar por Samaria.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Veio pois a uma cidade de Samaria, chamada Sicar, junto à propriedade que Jacó deu a seu filho José.
So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
6 E ali estava a fonte de Jacó. Então Jesus, cansado do caminho, sentou-se assim junto à fonte; era isto quase à hora sexta.
The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
7 Veio uma mulher de Samaria para tirar água; Disse-lhe Jesus: Dá-me de beber.
8 (Porque seus discípulos haviam ido à cidade para a comprar de comer).
9 Disse-lhe pois a mulher samaritana: Como, sendo tu judeu, me pedes de beber, que sou mulher samaritana? (Porque os judeus não se comunicam com o samaritanos.)
so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
10 Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhe: Se tu conhecesses o dom de Deus, e quem é o que te diz: Dá-me de beber, tu lhe pedirias, e ele te daria água viva.
Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
11 Disse a mulher: Senhor, tu não tens com que [a] tirar, e o poço é fundo; de onde pois tens a água viva?
She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
12 És tu maior que nosso pai Jacó, que nos deu o poço? E ele mesmo dele bebeu, e seus filhos, e seu gado?
Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
13 Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Todo aquele que beber desta água voltará a ter sede;
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, dá-me desta água, para que eu não tenha [mais] sede, nem venha aqui para tirar.
The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
16 Disse-lhe Jesus: Vai, chama a teu marido, e vem cá.
[Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
17 A mulher respondeu, e disse: Não tenho marido. Disse-lhe Jesus: Bem disseste: Marido não tenho.
She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
18 Porque cinco maridos tiveste, e o que agora tens não é teu marido; isto com verdade disseste.
It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
19 Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, vejo que és profeta.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 Nossos pais adoraram neste monte, e vós dizeis que em Jerusalém é o lugar onde se deve adorar.
But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
21 Disse-lhe Jesus: Mulher, crê em mim, que a hora vem, quando nem neste monte, nem em Jerusalém, adorareis ao Pai.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
22 Vós adorais o que não sabeis; nós adoramos o que sabemos, porque a salvação vem dos judeus.
You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 Porém a hora vem, e agora é, quando os verdadeiros adoradores adorarão ao Pai em espírito e em verdade; porque também o Pai busca a tais que o adorem.
However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
24 Deus é Espírito, e os que o adoram devem adorá [-lo] em espírito e em verdade.
God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
25 Disse-lhe a mulher: Eu sei que o Messias vem (que se chama o Cristo); quando ele vier, todas as coisas nos anunciará.
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
26 Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu sou o que contigo falo.
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 E nisto vieram seus discípulos; e maravilharam-se de que falasse com uma mulher; mas ninguém [lhe] disse: Que perguntas? ou, O que falas com ela?
Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Deixou, pois, a mulher seu vaso de água, e foi à cidade, e disse ao povo:
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 Vinde, vede um homem que me disse tudo quanto tenho feito; por acaso não é este o Cristo?
“Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
30 Saíram, pois, da cidade, e vieram a ele.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 E enquanto isso, os discípulos lhe pediam, dizendo: Rabi, come.
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Porém ele lhes disse: Uma comida tenho que comer, que vós não sabeis.
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 Diziam, pois, os discípulos uns aos outros: Por acaso alguém lhe trouxe de comer?
So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
34 Disse-lhes Jesus: Minha comida é fazer a vontade daquele que me enviou, e cumprir sua obra.
Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
35 Não dizeis vós, que ainda há quatro meses até que venha a ceifa? Eis que vos digo: Levantai vossos olhos, e vede as terras; porque já estão brancas para a ceifa.
[At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
36 E o que ceifa, recebe recompensa, e junta fruto para vida eterna; para que ambos se alegrem, tanto o que semeia, quanto o que ceifa. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
37 Porque nisto é verdadeiro o ditado, que: Um é o que semeia, e outro o que ceifa.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Eu vos enviei para ceifar onde vós não trabalhastes; outros trabalharam, e vós entrastes no trabalho deles.
I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
39 E muitos dos samaritanos daquela cidade creram nele pela palavra da mulher, que testemunhava, dizendo: Ele me disse tudo quanto eu tenho feito.
Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
40 Vindo pois os samaritanos a ele, suplicaram-lhe que ficasse com eles; e ele ficou ali dois dias.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 E creram ainda muitos mais pela palavra dele.
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 E diziam à mulher: Já não cremos por teu dito; porque nós mesmos temos [o] ouvido, e sabemos que verdadeiramente este é o Cristo, o Salvador do mundo.
They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
43 E depois de dois dias partiu dali, e foi-se para a Galileia.
Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
44 Porque o mesmo Jesus testemunhou que não tem o Profeta honra em sua própria terra.
45 Vindo pois para a Galileia, os Galileus o receberam, havendo visto todas as coisas que fizera em Jerusalém no [dia] da festa, porque também eles foram ao [dia] da festa.
However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
46 Veio pois Jesus outra vez a Caná da Galileia, onde da água fizera vinho. E estava ali um nobre, cujo filho estava enfermo em Cafarnaum.
Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
47 Ouvindo este que Jesus vinha da Judeia para a Galileia, foi ter com ele, e suplicava-lhe que descesse, e curasse a seu filho, porque já estava à morte.
When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
48 Disse-lhe pois Jesus: Se não virdes sinais e milagres não crereis.
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 O nobre lhe disse: Senhor, desce, antes que meu filho morra.
But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
50 Disse-lhe Jesus: Vai, teu filho vive. E o homem creu na palavra que Jesus lhe disse, e se foi.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 E [estando] ele já descendo, seus servos lhe saíram ao encontro, e [lhe] anunciaram, dizendo: Teu filho vive.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Perguntou-lhes pois, a que hora se achara melhor; e disseram-lhe: Ontem às sete horas a febre o deixou.
He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
53 Entendeu pois o pai, que aquela era a mesma hora em que Jesus lhe disse: Teu filho vive. E creu nele, e toda sua casa.
Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
54 Este segundo sinal Jesus voltou a fazer, quando ele veio d [a] Judeia a Galileia.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
