Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was 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 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Sendo Anás e Caiphas sumos sacerdotes, veio no deserto a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacarias.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission 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 words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.
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 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked roads will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made 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 will see the salvation of God.’”
E toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
7 John said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming 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 Produce fruit consistent with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children 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 Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown 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 So the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
E a multidão o interrogava, dizendo: Que faremos pois?
11 John answered them, “Whoever has two tunics must share with him who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Quem tiver duas túnicas, reparta com o que não tem, e quem tiver alimentos faça da mesma maneira.
12 Some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
E chegaram também uns publicanos, para serem batizados, e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
13 He said to them, “Collect no more than what you have been authorized to collect.”
E ele lhes disse: Não peçais mais do que o que vos está ordenado.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be content with your wages.”
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 Now as the people were waiting in expectation and were all questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Christ,
E, estando o povo em expectação, e pensando todos de João, em seus corações, se porventura seria o Cristo,
16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one is coming who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and 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 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
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 With these and many other exhortations John preached good news to the people.
E assim, admoestando, muitas outras coisas também anunciava ao povo.
19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evils that 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 Herod added this to everything else: He locked up John in prison.
Acrescentou a todas as outras ainda esta, de encerrar João num cárcere.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus had also been baptized and was praying, 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 on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “Yoʋ are my beloved Son; in yoʋ I am well pleased.”
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.
