Lucas 8
1 E aconteceu, depois d'isto, que andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, prégando e annunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus: e os doze andavam com elle,
Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
2 E tambem algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espiritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Magdalena, da qual sairam sete demonios.
along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
3 E Joanna, mulher de Chuza, procurador d'Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com suas fazendas.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo ter com elle de todas as cidades, disse por parabola:
Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
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;
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
6 E outra parte caiu sobre pedra, e, nascida, seccou-se, porquanto não tinha humidade;
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 E outra parte caiu entre espinhos, e, nascidos com ella os espinhos, a suffocaram;
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 E outra parte caiu em boa terra, e, nascida, produziu fructo, cento por um. Dizendo elle estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
9 E os seus discipulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parabola é esta?
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 E elle disse: A vós é dado conhecer os mysterios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros por parabolas, para que, vendo, não vejam, e, ouvindo, não entendam.
Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
11 Esta é pois a parabola: A semente é a palavra de Deus;
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
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;
The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
13 E os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas estes não teem raiz, pois crêem por algum tempo, e no tempo da tentação se desviam;
The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
14 E a que caiu entre espinhos, estes são os que ouviram, e, indo por diante, se suffocam com os cuidados, e riquezas e deleites da vida, e não dão fructo com perfeição;
The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
15 E a que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam n'um coração honesto e bom, e dão fructo em perseverança.
The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
16 E ninguem, accendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; porém põe-n'a no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz.
You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
17 Porque não ha coisa occulta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem coisa escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir á luz
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 Vêde 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.
So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
19 E foram ter com elle sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam chegar a elle, por causa da multidão.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 E foi-lhe annunciado por alguns, dizendo: Estão lá fóra tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te.
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Porém, respondendo elle, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aquelles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 E aconteceu que, n'um d'aquelles dias, entrou n'um barco, e com elle os seus discipulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos para a outra banda do lago. E partiram.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 E, navegando elles, adormeceu; e sobreveiu uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se d'agua, e perigavam.
As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 E, chegando-se a elle, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. E elle, levantando-se, reprehendeu o vento e as ondas d'agua; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança.
They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E elles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e á agua manda, e lhe obedecem?
“Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
26 E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galilea.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que desde muito tempo era possesso de demonios, e não andava vestido, e não habitava em casa, mas nos sepulchros.
When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
28 E, vendo a Jesus, prostrou-se diante d'elle, exclamando, e dizendo com grande voz: Que tenho eu comtigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altissimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes.
When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
29 Porque mandava ao espirito immundo que saisse d'aquelle homem; porque já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavam-n'o preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impellido pelo demonio para os desertos.
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
30 E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado n'elle muitos demonios.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 E andava ali pastando no monte uma manada de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar n'elles; e concedeu-lh'o.
There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
33 E, tendo saido os demonios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada arrojou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago, e afogaram-se.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 E aquelles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram annuncial-o na cidade e nos campos.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 E sairam a vêr o que tinha acontecido, e vieram ter com Jesus; e acharam o homem, de quem haviam saido os demonios, vestido, e em seu juizo, assentado aos pés de Jesus: e temeram.
The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
36 E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes tambem como fôra salvo aquelle endemoninhado.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse d'elles; porque estavam possuidos de grande temor. E, entrando elle no barco, voltou.
Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 E aquelle homem, de quem haviam saido os demonios, rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com elle; porém Jesus o despediu, dizendo:
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 Torna para tua casa, e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E elle foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.
“Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling 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.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 E eis que chegou um varão, cujo nome era Jairo, e era principe da synagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;
One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 Porque tinha uma filha unica, quasi de doze annos, e estava á morte. E, indo elle, apertava-o a multidão.
because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze annos, e gastara com os medicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum podéra ser curada,
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 Chegando por detraz d'elle, tocou a orla do seu vestido, e o fluxo do seu sangue logo estancou.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 E disse Jesus; Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com elle: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e opprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou?
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 E disse Jesus: Alguem me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude.
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 Então a mulher, vendo que não se occultava, approximou-se tremendo, e, prostrando-se ante elle, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que o havia tocado, e como logo sarára.
When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 E elle lhe disse: Tem bom animo, filha, a tua fé te salvou: vae em paz.
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Estando elle ainda fallando, chegou um dos do principe da synagoga, dizendo: A tua filha já está morta, não incommodes o Mestre.
While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê sómente, e será salva.
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 E, entrando em casa, a ninguem deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Thiago, e a João, e ao pae e á mãe da menina.
When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 E todos choravam, e a pranteavam; e elle disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme.
All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 E riam-se d'elle, sabendo que estava morta.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Porém elle, pondo-os todos fóra, e pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina.
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 E o seu espirito voltou, e ella logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe déssem de comer.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 E seus paes ficaram maravilhados; e elle lhes mandou que a ninguem dissessem o que havia succedido.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
