Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
E [Jesus] lhes disse também uma parábola [sobre] o dever de sempre orar, e nunca se cansar.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Dizendo: Havia um certo juiz em uma cidade, que não temia a Deus, nem respeitava pessoa alguma.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Havia também naquela mesma cidade uma certa viúva, e vinha até ele, dizendo: Faze-me justiça com meu adversário.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
E por um [certo] tempo ele não quis; mas depois disto, disse para si: Ainda que eu não tema a Deus, nem respeite pessoa alguma,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
Porém, porque esta viúva me incomoda, eu lhe farei justiça, para que ela pare de vir me chatear.
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
E disse o Senhor: Ouvi o que diz o juiz injusto.
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
E Deus não fará justiça para seus escolhidos, que clamam a ele de dia e de noite? Demorará com eles?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Digo-vos que depressa lhes fará justiça. Porém, quando o Filho do homem vier, por acaso ele achará fé na terra?
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
E disse também a uns, que tinham confiança de si mesmos que eram justos, e desprezavam aos outros, esta parábola:
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
Dois homens subiram ao Templo para orar, um fariseu, e o outro publicano.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
O fariseu, estando de pé, orava consigo desta maneira: Ó Deus, eu te agradeço, porque não sou como os outros homens, ladrões, injustos e adúlteros; nem [sou] como este publicano.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Jejuo duas vezes por semana, [e] dou dízimo de tudo quanto possuo.
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
E o publicano, estando em pé de longe, nem mesmo queria levantar os olhos ao céu, mas batia em seu peito, dizendo: Ó Deus, tem misericórdia de mim, [que sou] pecador.
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Digo-vos que este desceu mais justificado à sua casa do que aquele outro; porque qualquer que a si mesmo se exalta, será humilhado; e qualquer que a si mesmo se humilha, será exaltado.
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
E traziam-lhe também crianças pequenas, para que as tocasse; e os discípulos, vendo, os repreendiam.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Mas Jesus, chamando-lhes para si, disse: Deixai as crianças virem a mim, e não as impeçais; porque das tais é o Reino de Deus.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Em verdade vos digo, que qualquer que não receber o Reino de Deus como criança, não entrará nele.
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
E um certo líder lhe perguntou, dizendo: Bom mestre, o que tenho que fazer para herdar a vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
E Jesus lhe disse: Por que me chamas de bom? Ninguém [é] bom, a não ser um: Deus.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Tu sabes os mandamentos: não adulterarás, não matarás, não furtarás, não darás falso testemunho, honra a teu pai e a tua mãe.
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
E ele disse: Todas estas coisas tenho guardado desde minha juventude.
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Porém Jesus, ouvindo isto, disse-lhe: Ainda uma coisa te falta: vende tudo quanto tens, e reparte-o entre os pobres, e terás um tesouro no céu; e vem, segue-me.
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Mas ele, ouvindo isto, ficou muito triste, porque era muito rico.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
E vendo Jesus que ele tinha ficado muito triste, disse: Como é difícil os que têm [muitos] bens entrarem no Reino de Deus!
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Porque é mais fácil um camelo entrar pelo olho de uma agulha do que um rico entrar no Reino de Deus.
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
E os que ouviram [isto], disseram: Quem então pode se salvar?
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
E ele disse: As coisas que são impossíveis para os seres humanos são possíveis para Deus.
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
E Pedro disse: Eis que deixamos tudo, e temos te seguido.
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
E ele lhes disse: Em verdade vos digo, que há ninguém que, tenha deixado casa, ou pais, ou irmãos, ou mulher, ou filhos,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
E tomando consigo aos doze, disse-lhes: Eis que estamos subindo a Jerusalém, e se cumprirá no Filho do homem tudo o que [está] escrito pelos profetas.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Porque ele será entregue aos gentios, e escarnecido, injuriado e cuspido.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
E [depois de] açoitá-lo, o matarão; e ao terceiro dia ressuscitará.
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
E eles nada entendiam destas coisas; e esta palavra lhes era oculta; e não entendiam o que estava sendo lhes dito.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
E aconteceu que ele, chegando perto de Jericó, estava um cego sentado junto ao caminho, mendigando.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
E este, ouvindo a multidão passar, perguntou: O que era aquilo?
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
E disseram-lhe que Jesus Nazareno estava passando.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Então clamou, dizendo: Jesus, Filho de Davi, tem misericórdia de mim!
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
E os que estavam mais a frente o repreendiam, para que calasse; porém ele clamava ainda mais: Filho de Davi, tem misericórdia de mim!
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Então Jesus, parando, mandou que o trouxessem para si; e chegando ele, perguntou-lhe,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
Dizendo: Que queres que eu te faça? E ele disse: Senhor, que eu veja.
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
E Jesus lhe disse: Vê, tua fé te salvou.
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
E logo ele viu, e o seguia, glorificando a Deus. E o todo o povo, vendo [isto], dava louvores a Deus.
