Marcos 11
1 E quando se aproximaram de Jerusalém, de Betfagé, e de Betânia, junto ao monte das Oliveiras, [Jesus] enviou dois de seus discípulos,
When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
2 dizendo-lhes: Ide ao vilarejo que está adiante de vós; e assim que nela entrardes, achareis um jumentinho amarrado, sobre o qual ninguém se sentou; soltai-o, e trazei-o.
He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
3 E se alguém vos disser: Por que fazeis isso?, dizei: O Senhor precisa dele, e logo o devolverá para cá.
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
4 Eles foram, e acharam um jumentinho amarrado à porta, do lado de fora em uma esquina, e o soltaram.
So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
5 E alguns dos que ali estavam lhes perguntaram: Que fazeis, soltando o jumentinho?
Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
6 Eles lhes disseram como Jesus [lhes] havia dito, e os deixaram ir.
They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
7 Então trouxeram o jumentinho a Jesus. Lançaram sobre ele suas roupas, e [Jesus] sentou-se sobre ele.
They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
8 Muitos estendiam suas roupas pelo caminho, e outros [espalhavam] ramos que haviam cortado dos campos.
Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
9 E os que iam adiante, e os que seguiam, clamavam: Hosana, bendito o que vem no Nome do Senhor!
The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
10 Bendito o Reino que vem, [o Reino] do nosso pai Davi! Hosana nas alturas!
“May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
11 [Jesus] entrou em Jerusalém, e no Templo. E depois que ter visto tudo em redor, e sendo já tarde, ele saiu para Betânia com os doze.
He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
12 E no dia seguinte, quando saíram de Betânia, ele teve fome.
The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 E vendo de longe uma figueira que tinha folhas, [veio ver] se acharia alguma coisa nela; mas ao chegar perto dela, nada achou, a não ser folhas, pois não era o tempo de figos.
He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
14 Então [Jesus] lhe disse: Nunca mais ninguém coma fruto de ti! E seus discípulos ouviram isso. (aiōn g165)
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
15 Depois vieram a Jerusalém. E entrando [Jesus] no Templo, começou a expulsar os que vendiam e compravam no Templo; e revirou as mesas dos cambiadores, e as cadeiras dos que vendiam pombas.
Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
16 E não consentia que ninguém levasse vaso algum pelo Templo.
and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
17 E ensinava, dizendo-lhes: Não está escrito: Minha casa será chamada casa de oração de todas as nações? Mas vós fizestes dela esconderijo de ladrões!
Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
18 Os chefes dos sacerdotes e os escribas ouviram isso, e buscavam uma maneira de o matar; pois o temiam, porque toda a multidão estava admirada do ensino dele.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
19 E como já era tarde, eles saíram fora da cidade.
That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
20 E passando pela manhã, viram que a figueira estava seca desde as raízes.
[The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
21 Pedro se lembrou disso, e disse-lhe: Mestre, eis que a figueira que amaldiçoaste, se secou.
Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
22 E respondendo Jesus, disse-lhes: Tende fé em Deus.
Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
23 Em verdade vos digo que qualquer um que disser a este monte: Levanta-te, e lança-te no mar; e não duvidar em seu coração, mas crer que se fará o que diz, tudo o que disser lhe será feito.
[Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
24 Portanto eu vos digo que tudo o que pedirdes orando, crede que recebereis, e vós [o] tereis.
So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
25 E quando estiverdes orando, perdoai, se tendes algo contra alguém, para que o vosso Pai, que [está] nos céus, vos perdoe vossas ofensas.
Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
27 Depois voltaram a Jerusalém; e, enquanto ele andava pelo Templo, vieram a ele os chefes dos sacerdotes, os escribas, e os anciãos.
Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
28 E disseram-lhe: Com que autoridade fazes estas coisas? Ou quem te deu esta autoridade, para fazerdes estas coisas?
“By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
29 Jesus lhes respondeu: Também eu vos farei uma pergunta, e respondei-me; então vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
30 O batismo de João era do céu ou dos homens? Respondei-me.
Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
31 E eles argumentavam entre si, dizendo: Se dissermos do céu, ele dirá: Por que, pois, não crestes nele?
They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
32 Porém, se dissermos dos homens, tememos ao povo, porque todos consideravam que João era verdadeiramente profeta.
On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
33 Então responderam a Jesus: Não sabemos. E Jesus lhes replicou: Também eu não vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
