< Luke 3 >

1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
E no anno quinze do imperio de Tiberio Cesar, sendo Poncio Pilatos presidente da Judea, Herodes tetrarcha da Galilea, e seu irmão Philippe tetrarcha da Iturea e da provincia de Traconites, e Lysaneas tetrarcha da Abylinia,
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
Sendo Annás e Caiphás summos sacerdotes, veiu no deserto a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacharias.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
E percorreu toda a terra ao redor do Jordão, prégando o baptismo de arrependimento, para o perdão dos peccados;
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
Segundo o que está escripto no livro das palavras do propheta Isaias, que diz: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparae o caminho do Senhor; endireitae as suas veredas.
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Todo o valle se encherá, e todo o monte e outeiro se abaixará; e os caminhos tortos se endireitarão, e os caminhos escabrosos se aplanarão;
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
E toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Dizia pois João á multidão que sahia a ser baptizada por elle: Raça de viboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira que está para vir?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
Dae pois fructos dignos de arrependimento, e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos Abrahão por pae; porque eu vos digo que até d'estas pedras pode Deus suscitar filhos a Abrahão.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
E tambem já está posto o machado á raiz das arvores; toda a arvore, pois, que não dá bom fructo, corta-se e lança-se no fogo.
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
E a multidão o interrogava, dizendo: Que faremos pois?
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
E, respondendo elle, disse-lhes: Quem tiver duas tunicas, reparta com o que não tem, e quem tiver alimentos faça da mesma maneira.
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
E chegaram tambem uns publicanos, para serem baptizados, e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
E elle lhes disse: Não peçaes mais do que o que vos está ordenado.
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
E uns soldados o interrogaram tambem, dizendo: E nós que faremos? E elle lhes disse: Não trateis mal, nem defraudeis alguem, e contentae-vos com o vosso soldo.
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
E, estando o povo em expectação, e pensando todos de João, em seus corações, se porventura seria o Christo,
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
Respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, baptizo-vos com agua, mas vem um mais poderoso do que eu, a quem eu não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; esse vos baptizará com o Espirito Sancto e com fogo.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
E a sua pá está em sua mão; e limpará a sua eira, e ajuntará o trigo no seu celleiro, porém queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
E assim, admoestando, muitas outras coisas tambem annunciava ao povo.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Sendo, porém, o tetrarcha Herodes reprehendido por elle por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Philippe, e por todas as maldades que Herodes tinha feito,
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Accrescentou a todas as outras ainda esta, de encerrar João n'um carcere.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
E aconteceu que, como todo o povo fosse baptizado, e sendo baptizado tambem Jesus, e orando, abriu-se o céu,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
E o Espirito Sancto desceu sobre elle em forma corporea, como uma pomba; e ouviu-se uma voz do céu, que dizia: Tu és o meu filho amado, em ti me tenho comprazido.
