Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
Quando ele desceu do monte, muitas multidões o seguiram.
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
E eis que um leproso veio e prostrou-se diante dele, dizendo: Senhor, se quiseres, podes me limpar.
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
[Jesus] estendeu a mão e o tocou, dizendo: Quero, sê limpo. E logo ele ficou limpo de sua lepra.
4 and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
Então Jesus lhe disse: Tem o cuidado de dizeres a ninguém; mas vai mostrar-te ao sacerdote, e oferece a oferta que Moisés ordenou, para que lhes haja testemunho.
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
Quando [Jesus] entrou em Cafarnaum, veio a ele um centurião, rogando-lhe,
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
E dizendo: Senhor, o meu servo jaz em casa, paralítico, e gravemente atormentado.
7 ‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
E [Jesus] lhe disse: Eu irei, e o curarei.
8 ‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
E o centurião respondeu: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres sob meu telhado; mas dize somente uma palavra, e o meu servo sarará.
9 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’
Pois eu também sou homem debaixo de autoridade, e tenho debaixo de meu comando soldados; e digo a este: “Vai”, e ele vai; e ao outro: “Vem”, e vem; e a meu servo: “Faze isto”, e ele faz.
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
Quando Jesus ouviu [isto], maravilhou-se, e disse aos que o seguiam: Em verdade vos digo que ninguém em Israel achei com tanta fé.
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Mas eu vos digo que muitos virão do oriente e do ocidente, e se sentarão à mesa com Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó, no Reino dos céus.
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
Os filhos do reino, porém, serão lançados nas trevas de fora; ali haverá pranto e ranger de dentes.
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
Então Jesus disse ao centurião: Vai, e assim como creste, a ti seja feito. E naquela mesma hora o servo foi sarado.
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
E quando Jesus veio à casa de Pedro, viu a sogra dele, deitada e com febre.
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
Ele tocou a mão dela, e a febre a deixou. Então ela se levantou e começou a servi-lo.
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
Quando chegou o anoitecer, trouxeram-lhe muitos endemoninhados. Ele expulsou-lhes os espíritos com a palavra, e curou todos os que estavam doentes,
17 in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
Para que se cumprisse o que havia sido dito pelo profeta Isaías, que disse: Ele tomou sobre si as nossas enfermidades, e levou as nossas doenças.
18 Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
E Jesus, ao ver uma multidão ao redor de si, mandou que passassem para a outra margem.
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
Então um escriba se aproximou, e disse-lhe: Mestre, eu te seguirei aonde quer que fores.
20 ‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Jesus lhe respondeu: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu ninhos; mas o Filho do homem não tem onde recostar a cabeça.
21 ‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
E outro dos discípulos lhe disse: Senhor, permite-me ir primeiro enterrar meu pai.
22 But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
Porém Jesus lhe disse: Segue-me, e deixa aos mortos enterrarem seus mortos.
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
Então ele entrou no barco, e seus discípulos o seguiram.
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
E eis que se levantou no mar uma tormenta tão grande que o barco era coberto pelas ondas; porém ele dormia.
25 and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
E se aproximaram para acordá-lo, dizendo: Senhor, salva-nos! Estamos sendo destruídos!
26 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
E ele lhes respondeu: Por que temeis, [homens] de pouca fé? Então ele se levantou e repreendeu os ventos e o mar. E houve grande calmaria.
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
E aqueles homens se maravilharam, dizendo: Quem é este, que até os ventos e o mar lhe obedecem?
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
E quando chegou à outra margem, à terra dos gadarenos, vieram-lhe ao encontro dois endemoninhados que tinham saído dos sepulcros. Eles eram tão ferozes que ninguém podia passar por aquele caminho.
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
E eis que gritaram, dizendo: Que temos contigo, Filho de Deus? Vieste aqui nos atormentar antes do tempo?
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
Enquanto isso longe deles estava uma manada de muitos porcos pastando.
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
E os demônios rogaram-lhe, dizendo: Se nos expulsares, manda-nos entrar naquela manada de porcos.
32 ‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
E ele lhes disse: Ide. Então eles saíram, e entraram nos porcos; e eis que toda aquela manada se lançou de um precipício ao mar, e morreram nas águas.
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
E os que cuidavam dos porcos fugiram; e ao chegarem à cidade, anunciaram todas [estas] coisas, inclusive o que [havia acontecido] aos endemoninhados.
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
E eis que toda aquela cidade saiu ao encontro de Jesus; e quando o viram, rogaram-lhe que se retirasse do território deles.
