Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Em um sábado, Jesus foi comer na casa de um dos líderes dos fariseus, onde todos o observavam muito atentamente.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Havia um homem lá com os braços e as pernas inchados.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Então, Jesus perguntou aos especialistas na lei religiosa e aos fariseus: “A lei permite curar no sábado ou não?”
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Mas, eles ficaram quietos. Jesus tocou no homem, curou-o e o mandou embora.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Depois, Jesus lhes disse: “Se o seu filho ou o seu boi caísse em um poço no sábado, vocês não o tirariam de lá imediatamente?”
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Eles não foram capazes de responder a Jesus.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Então, ao notar como os convidados tinham escolhido sentar nos lugares de honra, ele contou uma história para eles. E, assim, ele começou:
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
“Quando você for convidado para uma festa de casamento, não escolha o lugar de honra, pois pode ser que alguém mais importante do que você tenha sido convidado.
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
A pessoa que convidou os dois para a festa virá e lhe dirá: ‘Dê o seu lugar para este homem se sentar.’ Então, muito constrangido, você terá que sair desse lugar para se sentar em qualquer outro que tenha sobrado.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Em vez disso, quando você for convidado, sente-se no lugar menos importante, para que aquele que o convidou venha até você e diga: ‘Meu amigo, por favor, sente-se em um lugar melhor.’ Assim, você se sentirá honrado diante de todos os convidados.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Pois, aqueles que se engrandecem serão humilhados, mas aqueles que se humilham serão engrandecidos.”
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Em seguida, ele disse ao homem que o havia convidado: “Quando você oferecer um almoço ou um jantar, não convide os seus amigos, irmãos, parentes ou os seus vizinhos ricos, pois eles podem convidá-lo novamente e, assim, você seria recompensado.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Em vez disso, quando você der um banquete, convide os pobres, os deficientes, os mancos e os cegos,
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
e você será abençoado, pois eles não têm nada para lhe dar em recompensa, e você será pago quando os que fazem o bem ressuscitarem.”
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Quando um deles, que comia na mesa com Jesus, ouviu isso, disse a ele: “Como será maravilhoso para aqueles que irão sentar-se à mesa no Reino de Deus!”
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Jesus respondeu; “Certa vez um homem preparou um grande banquete e convidou muita gente.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Quando chegou a hora de comer, enviou o seu empregado para dizer a todos os convidados: ‘Venham, pois o banquete está pronto!’
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Mas, todos eles começaram a dar desculpas. O primeiro disse: ‘Comprei umas terras há pouco tempo e preciso ir vê-las. Por favor, desculpe-me!’
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Outro disse: ‘Acabei de comprar dez bois e preciso ver como eles trabalham. Por favor, desculpe-me!’ Ainda outro deu a seguinte desculpa:
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
‘Casei-me há pouco, então, não poderei ir.’
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
O empregado voltou e contou ao seu patrão o que eles lhe tinham dito. O dono da casa ficou furioso e disse ao empregado: ‘Rápido! Saia pelas ruas e pelos becos da cidade e traga os pobres, os deficientes, os cegos e os mancos.’
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Então, o empregado disse: ‘Senhor, fiz o que você me disse para fazer, mas ainda há lugares que estão vazios.’
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Então, o patrão disse ao empregado: ‘Vá pelas estradas e pelos caminhos rurais e convide a todos. Eu quero que a minha casa fique completamente cheia.
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Pois eu lhe digo que ninguém que eu tenha convidado antes provará o meu banquete.’”
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Grande multidões acompanhavam Jesus. Ele se virou para eles e disse:
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
“Se vocês querem me seguir, e não me amar mais do que ama o seu pai e a sua mãe, a sua esposa e os seus filhos, os seus irmãos e as suas irmãs, e até mesmo a sua própria vida, vocês não podem ser meus discípulos.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
Se não carregarem a sua cruz e me seguirem, não poderão ser meus discípulos.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Se planejarem construir uma torre, vocês primeiro não precisam saber quanto isso custará, e ver se terão dinheiro o bastante para pagar pela construção?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Caso contrário, se após colocarem o alicerce, vocês não forem capazes de terminá-la, todos que virem isso irão rir de vocês, dizendo:
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
‘Olhem! Ele começou a construir, mas não teve dinheiro suficiente para terminar.’
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Que rei entra em guerra com outro rei sem primeiro sentar e consultar os seus conselheiros, para descobrir se ele e os seus dez mil homens podem vencer o seu oponente que marcha contra ele com os seus vinte mil homens?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Se ele não puder vencer, enviará representantes para pedir um acordo de paz, enquanto o outro rei ainda estiver longe o bastante.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Da mesma maneira, nenhum de vocês pode ser meu discípulo sem antes abrir mão de tudo o que tem.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
O sal é bom, mas se ele perder o sabor, o que vocês poderão fazer para que ele volte a salgar os alimentos?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Ele não é bom nem para a terra e nem para ser usado como fertilizante. Ele é simplesmente jogado fora. Aquele que tem ouvidos, que ouça!”
