John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
mas Jesus foi para o Monte das Oliveiras.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
Agora bem cedo pela manhã, ele entrou novamente no templo, e todas as pessoas vieram até ele. Ele se sentou e os ensinou.
3 Then men who taught the [Jewish] laws and some of [SYN] the Pharisee [religious group] brought a woman to him. She was seized {[They] had [arranged to] seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group [that was listening to Jesus].
Os escribas e os fariseus trouxeram uma mulher levada em adultério. Tendo-a colocado no meio,
4 Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized {[we] seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.
eles lhe disseram: “Professor, encontramos esta mulher em adultério, no próprio ato”.
5 Moses commanded us in the laws that [he gave us] that we should throw stones at such women [and kill them]. So what do you say [we should do]?”
Agora em nossa lei, Moisés nos ordenou que apedrejássemos tais mulheres. O que você diz então sobre ela”?
6 They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. [If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor]. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.
Disseram isso testando-o, que talvez tivessem algo de que acusá-lo. Mas Jesus abaixou-se e escreveu no chão com seu dedo.
7 While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”
Mas quando eles continuaram lhe perguntando, ele olhou para cima e lhes disse: “Aquele que não tem pecado entre vós, deixai-o atirar a primeira pedra sobre ela”.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Novamente ele se abaixou e escreveu no chão com seu dedo.
9 After they heard what he said, those [who were questioning him] went away, one by one, the older ones first [and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners]. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.
Eles, quando ouviram isso, sendo condenados pela consciência, saíram um a um, começando pelo mais velho, até o último. Jesus foi deixado sozinho com a mulher onde ela estava, no meio.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Jesus, de pé, a viu e disse: “Mulher, onde estão seus acusadores? Ninguém te condenou?”.
11 She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go [home] now, and do not continue your sinful [life] any longer!”]
Ela disse: “Ninguém, Senhor”. Jesus disse: “Nem eu tampouco os condeno”. Vá em seu caminho. De agora em diante, não peque mais”.
12 Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am [like] a light [MET] for [all the people in] [MTY] the world. [Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness] [MET], [I reveal God’s truth to them]. Those who walk in the darkness [are unaware of what is around them]. But those who become my disciples will always be aware [of God’s truth] [MET]. They will have my light [which shows them how to have eternal] life.”
Mais uma vez, portanto, Jesus falou com eles, dizendo: “Eu sou a luz do mundo”. Aquele que me segue não andará nas trevas, mas terá a luz da vida”.
13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are just telling about yourself! [Since there is no one else to verify these things that you say about yourself], [we] do not [need to accept that] what you say is true.”
Os fariseus, portanto, lhe disseram: “Você testemunha sobre si mesmo”. O seu testemunho não é válido”.
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I were the [only one to] say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from [heaven], and I know that I am going [back to heaven]. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Jesus lhes respondeu: “Mesmo que eu testemunhe sobre mim mesmo, meu testemunho é verdadeiro, pois sei de onde venho e para onde vou; mas vocês não sabem de onde venho, ou para onde vou.
15 You judge people according to human standards. [The reason] that I am [here is] not (to condemn people/to say that I will punish people) [for their sins].
Vocês julgam de acordo com a carne. Eu não julgo ninguém.
16 But if I did judge [people], what I decided would be correct, because I am not the [only] one [who will decide those things]. I and the one who sent me will both decide.
Mesmo que eu julgue, meu julgamento é verdadeiro, pois não estou sozinho, mas estou com o Pai que me enviou.
17 It is written {[Moses] wrote} in your law that if [at least] two people testify that [some event has happened], [people should consider] that what they say is true.
Também está escrito em sua lei que o testemunho de duas pessoas é válido.
18 I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is [my] Father who sent me. [So you should believe that what we declare is true].”
Eu sou aquele que testemunha sobre mim, e o Pai que me enviou testemunha sobre mim”.
19 Then they asked him, “[If you have a] father whom [we can question about you], where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know [who] I [really am]. If you knew who I [really am], you would know who my Father is also.”
Disseram-lhe então: “Onde está seu Pai?” Jesus respondeu: “Você não me conhece nem a mim nem a meu Pai”. Se você me conhecesse, conheceria meu Pai também”.
20 He said these things when he was in the Temple [courtyard], near the place where the people put their offerings. [This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met]. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time [MTY] [for him to suffer and die].
Jesus pronunciou estas palavras na tesouraria, como ensinou no templo. Mas ninguém o prendeu, porque sua hora ainda não havia chegado.
21 Jesus also said to them, “I [will soon be] going away. Then [at the end of your life] you will seek me, but you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”
Jesus disse-lhes, portanto, novamente: “Vou embora, e vocês me buscarão, e morrerão em seus pecados”. Para onde eu for, vocês não poderão vir”.
22 So the Jewish [leaders] said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”
Portanto, os judeus disseram: “Será que ele vai se matar, porque diz: 'Para onde eu vou, você não pode vir'”?
23 But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. I do not belong to them.
Ele disse a eles: “Vocês são de baixo. Eu sou de cima”. Vocês são deste mundo”. Eu não sou deste mundo.
24 I told you that you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. If you do not believe that I am [who I say that I am], you will die [without God forgiving] your sins.”
Eu vos disse, portanto, que morrereis em vossos pecados; pois se não acreditardes que eu sou ele, morrereis em vossos pecados”.
25 So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began [teaching], I have been telling you who I am!
Disseram-lhe portanto: “Quem é você?” Jesus disse a eles: “Exatamente o que eu tenho dito a vocês desde o início.
26 I could judge you and say that [you are guilty of] many things. But instead, [I will say only] what the one who sent me tells me to say. [What he says] is true, and I tell the people in the world [MTY] what I have heard from him.”
Tenho muitas coisas a dizer e a julgar a seu respeito”. Entretanto, aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro; e as coisas que eu ouvi dele, estas eu digo ao mundo”.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Eles não entenderam que ele lhes falava sobre o Pai.
28 So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up [on a cross to kill me], you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own [authority]. Instead, I say just what [my] Father has taught me.
Portanto, Jesus lhes disse: “Quando vocês tiverem levantado o Filho do Homem, então saberão que eu sou ele, e não faço nada de mim, mas como meu Pai me ensinou, eu digo estas coisas”.
29 He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
Aquele que me enviou está comigo. O Pai não me deixou sozinho, pois eu sempre faço as coisas que lhe agradam”.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Enquanto ele falava estas coisas, muitos acreditavam nele.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to [live in accordance with] my message, you will truly be my disciples.
Portanto, Jesus disse aos judeus que haviam acreditado nele: “Se vocês permanecerem em minha palavra, então vocês são verdadeiramente meus discípulos”.
32 Then you will know [God’s] truth, and as a result of [your believing his] truth, he [PRS] will free you [from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves].”
Conhecerão a verdade, e a verdade vos libertará”.
33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say [we will] be freed [from being someone’s slaves]?”
Eles lhe responderam: “Somos descendentes de Abraão, e nunca estivemos em cativeiro com ninguém”. Como se diz: 'Vocês serão libertados'”?”
34 Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are [forced to obey] their sinful desires [MET], [just like] a slave [is forced to obey his master].
Jesus lhes respondeu: “Certamente vos digo que todo aquele que comete pecado é o escravo do pecado”.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
Um servo de ligação não vive na casa para sempre. Um filho permanece para sempre. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Se, portanto, o Filho o torna livre, você será de fato livre.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you are trying to kill me because [you are not] allowing [PRS] my message to continue [to change] your inner being.
Eu sei que você é filho de Abraão, mas você procura me matar, porque minha palavra não encontra lugar em você.
38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with [my] Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”
Eu digo as coisas que tenho visto com meu Pai; e vós também fazeis as coisas que tendes visto com vosso Pai”.
39 They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s descendants, [your character would be like Abraham’s character, and] you would do [good] things like Abraham did.
Eles lhe responderam: “Nosso pai é Abraão”. Jesus lhes disse: “Se vocês fossem filhos de Abraão, vocês fariam o trabalho de Abraão.
40 I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.
Mas agora vocês procuram me matar, um homem que lhes disse a verdade que eu ouvi de Deus”. Abraão não fez isso.
41 No! You are doing the things that your [real] father does.” They said to him, “[We do not know about you, but] we are not illegitimate children. And [spiritually], we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”
Vocês fazem as obras de seu pai”. Eles lhe disseram: “Não nascemos da imoralidade sexual. Temos um só Pai, Deus”.
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here [to this world]. My coming was not (because I [appointed] myself/with my own [authority]). He sent me.
Therefore Jesus lhes disse: “Se Deus fosse seu pai, você me amaria, pois eu vim e vim de Deus”. Pois eu não vim de mim mesmo, mas Ele me enviou.
43 (And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?) [RHQ] It is because you do not want to accept my message.
Por que vocês não entendem meu discurso? Porque você não pode ouvir minha palavra.
44 You belong to your father, (the devil/Satan), and you desire to do what he wants. He has [caused people to become] murderers from the time when [people] first [sinned]. He has abandoned [God’s] truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his [nature], because he is a liar and is the one who originates [MET] all lies.
Você é de seu pai, o diabo, e quer fazer os desejos de seu pai. Ele foi um assassino desde o início, e não permanece na verdade, porque não há verdade nele. Quando ele fala uma mentira, ele fala por conta própria; pois é um mentiroso, e o pai da mentira.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
Mas porque eu digo a verdade, você não acredita em mim.
46 [Since I have never sinned], (none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?) [RHQ] So, since I tell you the truth, (there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?) [RHQ]
Qual de vocês me convence de pecado? Se eu disser a verdade, por que não acreditam em mim?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Aquele que é de Deus ouve as palavras de Deus. Por esta causa, vocês não ouvem, porque não são de Deus”.
48 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “(We are certainly right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]!/Are we not right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]?) [RHQ] And that (a demon/an evil spirit) [controls] you!”
Então os judeus lhe responderam: “Não dizemos bem que você é samaritano e tem um demônio?”
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Jesus respondeu: “Eu não tenho um demônio, mas eu honro meu Pai e vocês me desonram”.
50 I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires [to honor me], and he is the one who will judge [whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth].
Mas eu não busco minha própria glória. Há um que procura e julga.
Certamente, eu vos digo, se uma pessoa cumpre minha palavra, jamais verá a morte”. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
Então os judeus lhe disseram: “Agora sabemos que você tem um demônio”. Abraão morreu, assim como os profetas; e vocês dizem: “Se um homem mantiver minha palavra, nunca sentirá o gosto da morte”. (aiōn g165)
53 (You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?) [RHQ] He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are [by saying something like that]?”
Você é maior do que nosso pai Abraão, que morreu? Os profetas morreram. Quem você se faz passar por ele”?
54 Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
Jesus respondeu: “Se eu me glorifico, minha glória não é nada”. É meu Pai que me glorifica, de quem o senhor diz que é o nosso Deus”.
55 Although you do not know him, I know him [and have a close relationship with him]. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
Vós não o conheceis, mas eu o conheço. Se eu dissesse: “Eu não o conheço”, seria como você, um mentiroso. Mas eu o conheço e cumpro sua palavra.
56 Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would [do during] my life [MTY]. [It was as though] he saw that, and was happy.”
Seu pai Abraão se regozijou ao ver meu dia. Ele o viu e ficou contente”.
57 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to him, “You are not 50 years old yet! So (you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?) [RHQ] [Because he died long ago]!”
Os judeus lhe disseram, portanto: “Você ainda não tem cinqüenta anos! Você já viu Abraão”?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
Jesus lhes disse: “Certamente, eu lhes digo, antes de Abraão vir à existência, EU SOU”.”
59 So, [because they were very angry about Jesus thus saying that he] ([had eternally existed/was equal with God]), they picked up stones to throw at him [to kill him]. But [Jesus] caused them not to be able to see him, and he left the Temple courtyard.
Por isso pegaram pedras para jogá-lo, mas Jesus se escondeu e saiu do templo, tendo passado pelo meio deles, e assim passou.
