Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,
E no ano quinze do império de Tibério Cesar, sendo Poncio Pilatos presidente da Judeia, Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, e seu irmão Felipe tetrarca da Iturea e da província de Traconites, e Lysaneas tetrarca da Abylinia,
2 in the high priesthood of Annas and of Caiaphas; the word of God was upon John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Sendo Anás e Caiphas sumos sacerdotes, veio no deserto a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacarias.
3 And he came into all the region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
E percorreu toda a terra ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento, para o perdão dos pecados;
4 As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.
Segundo o que está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaias, que diz: Voz do que clama no deserto: preparai o caminho do Senhor; endireitai as suas veredas.
5 All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.
Todo o vale 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 shall see the life which is of God.
E toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
7 And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath?
Dizia pois João à multidão que saía a ser batizada por ele: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira que está para vir?
8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to Abraham.
Dai pois frutos dignos de arrependimento, e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos Abraão por pai; porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras pode Deus suscitar filhos a Abraão.
9 And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth into the fire.
E também já está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda a árvore, pois, que não dá bom fruto, corta-se e lança-se no fogo.
10 And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do?
E a multidão o interrogava, dizendo: Que faremos pois?
11 He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same.
E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Quem tiver duas túnicas, reparta com o que não tem, e quem tiver alimentos faça da mesma maneira.
12 And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
E chegaram também uns publicanos, para serem batizados, e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
13 And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact.
E ele lhes disse: Não peçais mais do que o que vos está ordenado.
14 And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you.
E uns soldados o interrogaram também, dizendo: E nós que faremos? E ele lhes disse: Não trateis mal, nem defraudeis alguém, e contentai-vos com o vosso soldo.
15 And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah;
E, estando o povo em expectação, e pensando todos de João, em seus corações, se porventura seria o Cristo,
16 John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, batizo-vos com água, mas vem um mais poderoso do que eu, a quem eu não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; esse vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.
17 He holdeth his winnowing shovel in his hand, and he will make clean his threshing floor; and the wheat he gathereth into his garners, and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
E a sua pá está em sua mão; e limpará a sua eira, e ajuntará o trigo no seu celeiro, porém queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.
18 And many other things also, he taught and proclaimed to the people.
E assim, admoestando, muitas outras coisas também anunciava ao povo.
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he had done,
Sendo, porém, o tetrarca Herodes repreendido por ele por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Felipe, e por todas as maldades que Herodes tinha feito,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Acrescentou a todas as outras ainda esta, de encerrar João num cárcere.
21 And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened;
E aconteceu que, como todo o povo fosse batizado, e sendo batizado também Jesus, e orando, abriu-se o céu,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
E o Espírito Santo desceu sobre ele 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.
