Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
Agora no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Tibério César, sendo Pôncio Pilatos governador da Judéia, e Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, e seu irmão Filipe tetrarca da região de Ituraea e Traconite, e Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene,
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
durante o sumo sacerdócio de Anás e Caifás, a palavra de Deus veio a João, o filho de Zacarias, no deserto.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
Ele veio a toda a região ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para a remissão dos pecados.
4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
Como está escrito no livro das palavras de Isaías, o profeta, “A voz de um que chora no deserto”, “Preparai o caminho do Senhor”. Faça seus caminhos retos.
5 Every valley shall be filled; and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight; and the rough ways plain;
Todos os vales serão preenchidos. Todas as montanhas e colinas serão baixadas. O tortuoso se tornará reto, e as formas ásperas de suavidade.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus””.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
Ele disse portanto às multidões que saíram para serem batizadas por ele: “Filhos de víboras, que vos avisaram para fugir da ira vindoura?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Portanto, produzam frutos dignos de arrependimento, e não comecem a dizer entre vós: 'Temos Abraão para nosso pai'; pois eu vos digo que Deus é capaz de criar filhos para Abraão a partir destas pedras!
9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Mesmo agora o machado também está na raiz das árvores. Toda árvore, portanto, que não produz bons frutos, é cortada e jogada no fogo”.
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
As multidões lhe perguntaram: “O que então devemos fazer”?
11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
Ele lhes respondeu: “Aquele que tem duas demãos, deixe-o dar a ele que não tem nenhuma”. Aquele que tem comida, deixe-o fazer o mesmo”.
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
Os cobradores de impostos também vieram para serem batizados e lhe disseram: “Professor, o que devemos fazer”?
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
Ele disse a eles: “Não colete mais do que o que lhe for designado”.
14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
Soldados também lhe perguntaram, dizendo: “E nós? O que devemos fazer”? Ele disse a eles: “Extorquir de ninguém pela violência, nem acusar ninguém injustamente”. Contente-se com seu salário”.
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Enquanto o povo estava na expectativa, e todos os homens raciocinavam em seus corações a respeito de João, se talvez ele fosse o Cristo,
16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
João respondeu a todos eles: “Eu de fato vos batizo com água, mas vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, a correia de cujas sandálias eu não sou digno de soltar. Ele vos batizará no Espírito Santo e no fogo”.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Seu ventilador de neve está em sua mão, e ele limpará completamente sua eira, e recolherá o trigo em seu celeiro; mas queimará o joio com fogo insaciável”.
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
Então, com muitas outras exortações, ele pregou boas novas ao povo,
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
mas Herodes, o tetrarca, sendo repreendido por ele por Herodíades, a esposa de seu irmão, e por todas as coisas más que Herodes tinha feito,
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
acrescentou isto também a todos eles, que ele calou João na prisão.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
Agora quando todo o povo foi batizado, Jesus também havia sido batizado e estava orando. O céu foi aberto,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
e o Espírito Santo desceu em forma corpórea como uma pomba sobre ele; e uma voz saiu do céu, dizendo “Tu és meu Filho amado”. Em ti estou bem contente”.
