< Mark 2 >

1 [Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
Quando ele entrou novamente em Cafarnaum, após alguns dias, ouviu-se dizer que ele estava em casa.
2 many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
Immediately muitos estavam reunidos, para que não houvesse mais espaço, nem mesmo ao redor da porta; e ele lhes disse a palavra.
3 Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
Quatro pessoas vieram, carregando um paralítico para ele.
4 They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
Quando não puderam chegar perto dele para a multidão, removeram o telhado onde ele estava. Quando o quebraram, soltaram a esteira sobre a qual o paralítico estava deitado.
5 After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Jesus, vendo a fé deles, disse ao paralítico: “Filho, teus pecados te são perdoados”.
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
Mas havia alguns dos escribas sentados ali e raciocinando em seus corações,
7 “(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
“Por que este homem fala blasfêmias dessa maneira? Quem pode perdoar pecados senão só Deus”?
8 Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
Imediatamente Jesus, percebendo em seu espírito que eles assim raciocinavam dentro de si mesmos, disse-lhes: “Por que vocês raciocinam estas coisas em seus corações?
9 It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
O que é mais fácil, para dizer ao paralítico: 'Seus pecados são perdoados'; ou para dizer: 'Levante-se, pegue sua cama e caminhe'
10 So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
Mas para que você saiba que o Filho do Homem tem autoridade na terra para perdoar pecados” - disse ao paralítico -
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
“Eu lhe digo, levante-se, pegue sua esteira e vá para sua casa”.
12 The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
Ele se levantou, pegou imediatamente o tapete e saiu na frente de todos eles, para que todos ficassem maravilhados e glorificassem a Deus, dizendo: “Nunca vimos nada assim”!
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
Ele saiu novamente à beira-mar. Toda a multidão veio até ele, e ele os ensinou.
14 As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
Ao passar, ele viu Levi, o filho de Alfeu, sentado no escritório de impostos. Ele disse a ele: “Siga-me”. E ele se levantou e o seguiu.
15 [Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
Ele estava reclinado à mesa em sua casa, e muitos cobradores de impostos e pecadores sentaram-se com Jesus e seus discípulos, pois eram muitos, e eles o seguiram.
16 The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Os escribas e os fariseus, quando viram que ele estava comendo com os pecadores e cobradores de impostos, disseram a seus discípulos: “Por que ele come e bebe com cobradores de impostos e pecadores”?
17 After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
Quando Jesus ouviu isso, disse-lhes: “Aqueles que são saudáveis não têm necessidade de médico, mas aqueles que estão doentes”. Eu vim não para chamar os justos, mas os pecadores para o arrependimento”.
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
Os discípulos de João e os fariseus jejuavam, e eles vieram e lhe perguntaram: “Por que os discípulos de João e os discípulos dos fariseus jejuam, mas seus discípulos não jejuam”?
19 [Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
Jesus disse-lhes: “Podem os noivos jejuar enquanto o noivo está com eles? Enquanto eles tiverem o noivo com eles, não podem jejuar.
20 But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Mas virão os dias em que o noivo lhes será tirado, e então eles jejuarão nesse dia.
21 [Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
Ninguém costura um pedaço de pano não encolhido em uma peça de roupa velha, ou então o remendo encolhe e as novas lágrimas se afastam do velho, e um buraco pior é feito.
22 [Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
Ninguém põe vinho novo em odres velhos; ou então o vinho novo rebenta as peles, e o vinho se derrama, e as peles são destruídas; mas eles colocam vinho novo em odres frescos”.
23 On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
Ele ia no dia de sábado através dos campos de grãos; e seus discípulos começaram, enquanto iam, a colher as espigas de grãos.
24 [Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
Os fariseus lhe disseram: “Eis porque eles fazem o que não é lícito no sábado”.
25 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
Ele lhes disse: “Você nunca leu o que David fez quando precisou e estava com fome - ele, e aqueles que estavam com ele?
26 During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
Como ele entrou na casa de Deus na época de Abiathar, o sumo sacerdote, e comeu o pão do espetáculo, que não é lícito comer exceto para os sacerdotes, e deu também para aqueles que estavam com ele”?
27 Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
Ele lhes disse: “O sábado foi feito para o homem, não o homem para o sábado”.
28 And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
Portanto, o Filho do Homem é senhor até do sábado”.
