Luke 15
1 Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
Agora todos os cobradores de impostos e pecadores estavam chegando perto dele para ouvi-lo.
2 The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
Os fariseus e os escribas murmuravam, dizendo: “Este homem recebe os pecadores, e come com eles”.
3 So Jesus told them this parable:
Ele lhes contou esta parábola:
4 “Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
“Qual de vocês, homens, se tivessem cem ovelhas e perdessem uma delas, não deixariam as noventa e nove no deserto e iriam atrás da que estava perdida, até que ele a encontrasse?
5 When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
Quando ele a encontrou, carrega-a sobre os ombros, regozijando-se.
6 When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
Quando chega em casa, ele chama seus amigos e vizinhos, dizendo-lhes: 'Alegrem-se comigo, pois encontrei minhas ovelhas que estavam perdidas'!
7 I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
Eu lhes digo que mesmo assim haverá mais alegria no céu por um pecador que se arrepende, do que por noventa e nove pessoas justas que não precisam se arrepender.
8 Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
“Ou que mulher, se tivesse dez moedas de dracma, se perdesse uma moeda de dracma, não acenderia uma lâmpada, varreria a casa, e buscaria diligentemente até encontrá-la?
9 When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
Quando a encontrou, ela chama seus amigos e vizinhos, dizendo: 'Alegre-se comigo, pois encontrei a dracma que tinha perdido!
10 I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
Mesmo assim, eu lhes digo, há alegria na presença dos anjos de Deus por causa de um pecador que se arrepende”.
11 Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Ele disse: “Um certo homem teve dois filhos.
12 One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
O mais novo deles disse a seu pai: “Pai, dê-me minha parte de sua propriedade”. Então, ele dividiu seu sustento entre eles.
13 A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
Não muitos dias depois, o filho mais novo reuniu tudo isso e viajou para um país distante. Lá ele desperdiçou sua propriedade com uma vida desordenada.
14 After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
Quando ele passou tudo isso, surgiu uma grave fome naquele país, e ele começou a sentir-se necessitado.
15 So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
Ele foi e se uniu a um dos cidadãos daquele país, e o mandou para seus campos para alimentar porcos.
16 [Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
Ele queria encher sua barriga com as vagens que os porcos comiam, mas ninguém lhe dava nenhuma.
17 Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
Mas quando chegou a si mesmo, ele disse: 'Quantos criados contratados de meu pai têm pão suficiente para gastar, e eu estou morrendo de fome!
18 So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
Eu me levantarei e irei até meu pai, e lhe direi: “Pai, eu pequei contra o céu e aos teus olhos”.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
Não sou mais digno de ser chamado de seu filho. Faze-me como um de teus servos contratados”.
20 So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
“Ele se levantou e veio ter com seu pai. Mas enquanto ele ainda estava longe, seu pai o viu e, comovido, correu, caiu em seu pescoço e o beijou.
21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
O filho lhe disse: 'Pai, pequei contra o céu e aos teus olhos'. Não sou mais digno de ser chamado de seu filho”.
22 But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
“Mas o pai disse a seus criados: 'Tragam o melhor manto e coloquem-no sobre ele'. Ponha um anel na mão e sandálias nos pés”.
23 Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
Traga o bezerro engordado, mate-o e vamos comer e comemorar;
24 because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
para isto, meu filho, estava morto e está vivo novamente. Ele estava perdido e foi encontrado”. Então eles começaram a celebrar.
25 While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
“Agora seu filho mais velho estava no campo. Ao se aproximar da casa, ele ouviu música e dança.
26 He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
Ele chamou um dos criados para ele e perguntou o que estava acontecendo.
27 The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
Ele lhe disse: “Seu irmão chegou, e seu pai matou o bezerro engordado, porque ele o recebeu de volta são e salvo”.
28 [But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
Mas ele estava com raiva e não quis entrar. Por isso, seu pai saiu e implorou-lhe.
29 But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
Mas ele respondeu a seu pai: “Eis que estes muitos anos eu te servi e nunca desobedeci a um mandamento teu, mas tu nunca me deste uma cabra, para que eu pudesse celebrar com meus amigos”.
30 But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
Mas quando este seu filho veio, que devorou sua vida com prostitutas, você matou o bezerro engordado por ele”.
31 But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
“Ele lhe disse: 'Filho, tu estás sempre comigo, e tudo o que é meu é teu'.
32 But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
Mas era apropriado celebrar e alegrar-se, pois isso, seu irmão, estava morto, e está vivo novamente. Ele estava perdido, e foi encontrado”.
