< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Depois disso, o Senhor nomeou setenta outros discípulos e os enviou em duplas para cada cidade e cada lugar que ele planejava visitar.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Jesus lhes disse: “A colheita é grande, mas são poucos os trabalhadores. Orem para que o Senhor da colheita envie trabalhadores para ajudar na sua lavoura.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Então, prossigam em seu caminho: Estou lhes mandando como ovelhas para o meio de lobos.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Não levem dinheiro, sacola ou até mesmo um par de sandálias a mais e não percam tempo conversando com as pessoas que encontrarem pelo caminho.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
A primeira coisa que dirão ao entrar em uma casa será: ‘Que a paz esteja nesta casa!’
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Se lá morar uma pessoa pacífica, então, a paz de vocês ficará neste lar. Mas, se for ao contrário, e a pessoa não for de paz, a sua paz retornará para vocês.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Fiquem nessa casa, comendo e bebendo o que lhes derem, pois um trabalhador merece ser pago. Não fiquem mudando de uma casa para a outra.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Se vocês entrarem em uma cidade e as pessoas de lá receberem bem vocês, comam o que lhes oferecerem
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
e curem os seus doentes. Depois, digam para os que vivem lá: ‘O Reino de Deus chegou para vocês.’
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Porém, se vocês entrarem em uma cidade e não forem bem recebidos, saiam pelas ruas, dizendo para os moradores de lá:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
‘Nós estamos limpando até mesmo o pó de sua cidade que grudou em nossos pés, para lhes mostrar a nossa desaprovação. Mas admitam isto: O Reino de Deus chegou para vocês.’
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Eu lhes digo que, no Dia do Julgamento, Deus terá mais tolerância com Sodoma do que com aquela cidade.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Ai de você, Corazim! Ai de você, Betsaida! Pois se os milagres que vocês viram acontecer tivessem acontecido em Tiro e Sidom, as pessoas de lá teriam se arrependido há muito tempo, e elas vestiriam roupas de tecidos grosseiros e se cobririam de cinzas.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
É por isso que, no julgamento, Deus será mais tolerante com Tiro e Sidom do que com vocês.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
E você, cidade de Cafarnaum? Acha que subirá até o céu? Você será lançada no mundo dos mortos! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Quem os ouve também me ouve, e quem os rejeita também me rejeita. Mas, qualquer um que me rejeita também rejeita aquele que me enviou.”
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Os setenta discípulos voltaram muito animados, dizendo: “Senhor, até mesmo os demônios nos obedecem quando, pelo poder do nome do senhor, ordenávamos que eles saíssem das pessoas!”
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Jesus respondeu: “Eu vi Satanás cair do céu como um raio.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Sim, eu lhes dei poder para pisarem em serpentes e escorpiões e para superarem a força de todos os inimigos, e nada lhes fará mal.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Mas, não fiquem contentes porque os espíritos maus lhes obedecem. Fiquem felizes porque os nomes de vocês estão escritos no céu.”
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Naquele momento, Jesus foi tomado pela alegria do Espírito Santo e disse: “Agradeço a você, Pai, Senhor do céu e da terra, pois escondeu essas coisas das pessoas sábias e inteligentes, mas as revelou aos pequeninos! Sim, Pai, você ficou feliz ao fazer dessa maneira.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
O meu Pai me entregou todas as coisas. Ninguém entende o Filho, a não ser o Pai, e ninguém entende o Pai, a não ser o Filho e aqueles para quem o Filho escolhe mostrar quem o Pai é.”
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Quando eles estavam sozinhos, Jesus se virou para os discípulos e lhes disse: “Aqueles que veem o que vocês estão vendo deveriam ficar realmente felizes.
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Eu lhes digo: muitos profetas e reis gostariam de ver o que vocês estão vendo, mas eles não viram. E eles também gostariam de ouvir as coisas que vocês estão ouvindo, mas eles não ouviram.”
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Certa vez, um especialista na lei religiosa se levantou e, tentando pegar Jesus em uma armadilha, disse: “Mestre, o que eu preciso fazer para conseguir a vida eterna?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jesus perguntou: “O que está escrito na lei? Como você a interpreta?”
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
O homem respondeu: “Ame o Senhor, seu Deus, com todo o seu coração e com toda a sua alma, com todas as suas forças e com todos os seus pensamentos. E ame o seu próximo como a si mesmo.”
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jesus lhe disse: “Você está certo! Faça isso e você viverá.”
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Mas, o homem querendo se justificar, perguntou a Jesus: “E quem é o meu próximo?”
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Jesus respondeu: “Um homem estava descendo de Jerusalém para Jericó. Ele foi atacado por ladrões, que roubaram tudo o que ele tinha, bateram nele e o deixaram quase morto.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Por coincidência, um sacerdote estava viajando pelo mesmo caminho. Ele viu o homem, mas passou pelo outro lado da estrada.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Depois, um levita apareceu. Mas, quando ele chegou ao lugar e viu o homem, também fez questão de passar pelo outro lado da estrada.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Finalmente, um samaritano apareceu na estrada. Ao passar, ele viu o homem e sentiu pena dele.
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Ele se aproximou e tratou os ferimentos do homem com óleo e vinho e depois fez curativos. Então, ele levou o homem em seu jumento para uma pensão, onde cuidou dele.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
No dia seguinte, deu dois denários para o dono da pensão e lhe disse: ‘Cuide dele e, se você gastar mais do que o dinheiro que deixei, eu lhe pagarei quando voltar.’
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Qual desses três homens você acha que foi o próximo para o homem que foi atacado pelos ladrões?”
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
O especialista em religião respondeu: “Aquele que o ajudou.” Jesus, então, disse-lhe: “Vá e faça o mesmo!”
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Continuando sua jornada, Jesus chegou a uma vila, e uma mulher, chamada Marta, convidou-o para a sua casa.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Tinha ela uma irmã chamada Maria, que se sentou aos pés do Senhor e ouviu os seus ensinamentos.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Marta ficou preocupada com tudo que precisava ser feito para a preparação da refeição. Então, veio até Jesus e lhe disse: “Mestre, você não se importa de minha irmã ter deixado todo o serviço da casa para que eu fizesse sozinha? Diga a ela para vir e me ajudar!”
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
O Senhor respondeu: “Marta, Marta, você está preocupada e agitada com muitas coisas!
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Mas, apenas uma coisa é realmente necessária. Maria escolheu a melhor de todas, e esta não será tirada dela.”
