Mateus 4
1 Então Jesus foi levado pelo Espírito ao deserto para ser tentado pelo diabo.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
2 E depois de jejuar quarenta dias e quarenta noites, teve fome.
After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
3 E o tentador se aproximou, e disse-lhe: Se tu és o Filho de Deus, dize que estas pedras se tornem pães.
[Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Mas [Jesus] respondeu: Está escrito: Não só de pão viverá o ser humano, mas de toda palavra que sai da boca de Deus.
But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
5 Então o diabo o levou consigo à santa cidade, e o pôs sobre o ponto mais alto do Templo,
Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
6 E disse-lhe: Se tu és o Filho de Deus, lança-te abaixo, porque está escrito que: Mandará a seus anjos acerca de ti, e te tomarão pelas mãos, para que nunca com teu pé tropeces em pedra alguma.
and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jesus lhe disse: Também está escrito: Não tentarás o Senhor teu Deus.
But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
8 Outra vez o diabo o levou consigo a um monte muito alto, e lhe mostrou todos os reinos do mundo, e a glória deles,
Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
9 E disse-lhe: Tudo isto te darei se, prostrado, me adorares.
And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
10 Então Jesus disse: Vai embora, Satanás! Porque está escrito: Ao Senhor teu Deus adorarás, e só a ele cultuarás.
But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
11 Então o diabo o deixou; e eis que chegaram anjos, e o serviram.
Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
12 Mas quando [Jesus] ouviu que João estava preso, voltou para a Galileia.
[While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
13 E deixando Nazaré, veio a morar em Cafarnaum, [cidade] marítima, nos limites de Zebulom e Naftali,
Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 para que se cumprisse o que foi anunciado pelo profeta Isaías, que disse:
[One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
15 A terra de Zebulom e a terra de Naftali, caminho do mar, além do Jordão, a Galileia dos gentios;
“Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
16 O povo sentado em trevas viu uma grande luz; aos sentados em região e sombra da morte, a luz lhes apareceu.
[Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
17 Desde então Jesus começou a pregar e a dizer: Arrependei-vos, porque perto está o Reino dos céus.
From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
18 Enquanto [Jesus] andava junto ao mar da Galileia, viu dois irmãos: Simão, chamado Pedro, e seu irmão André, lançarem a rede ao mar, porque eram pescadores.
[One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
19 E disse-lhes: Vinde após mim, e eu vos farei pescadores de gente.
He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
20 Então eles logo deixaram as redes e o seguiram.
They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
21 E passando dali, viu outros dois irmãos: Tiago, [filho] de Zebedeu, e seu irmão João, em um barco, com seu pai Zebedeu, que estavam consertando suas redes; e ele os chamou.
As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
22 E eles logo deixaram o barco e seu pai, e o seguiram.
They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
23 E [Jesus] rodeava toda a Galileia, ensinando em suas sinagogas, pregando o Evangelho do Reino, e curando toda enfermidade e toda doença no povo.
Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
24 Sua fama corria por toda a Síria, e traziam-lhe todos que sofriam de algum mal, tendo diversas enfermidades e tormentos, e os endemoninhados, epiléticos, e paralíticos; e ele os curava.
When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
25 E muitas multidões da Galileia, de Decápolis, de Jerusalém, da Judeia, e dalém do Jordão o seguiam.
Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
