Luke 7
1 When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
Depois de acabar todos os seus discursos aos ouvidos do povo, ele entrou em Cafarnaum.
2 A Captain in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill — almost at the point of death.
E o servo de um certo centurião, a quem muito estimava, que estava doente, e a ponto de morrer.
3 And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish Councillors to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
E quando [o centurião] ouviu falar sobre Jesus, enviou-lhe uns anciãos dos judeus, rogando-lhe que viesse curar o seu servo.
4 When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He is a man who deserves that you should show him this favour,” they said,
Eles vieram a Jesus, e rogaram-lhe com urgência, dizendo: Ele é digno de lhe concederes isto,
5 “For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our Synagogue for us.”
porque ele ama a nossa nação, e ele mesmo construiu a nossa sinagoga.
6 So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the Captain sent some friends with the message — “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
Jesus foi com eles; mas quando já não estava longe da casa, o centurião enviou uns amigos, dizendo-lhe: “Senhor, não te incomodes, porque não sou digno que entres abaixo do meu telhado.
7 That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
Por isso que nem mesmo me considerei digno de vir a ti; mas diz uma palavra, e seja o meu servo sarado.
8 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
Porque também eu sou homem subordinado à autoridade, e tenho soldados sob o meu comando, e digo a este: 'Vai', e ele vai; e a outro: 'Vem', e ele vem; e a meu servo: 'Faz isto', e ele faz”.
9 Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said: “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
Quando Jesus ouviu isso, admirou-se dele; então se virou, e disse à multidão que o seguia: Digo-vos que nem mesmo em Israel achei tanta fé.
10 And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
E quando os que foram enviados voltaram para casa, acharam com boa saúde o servo.
11 Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
E aconteceu pouco depois, que [Jesus] ia a uma cidade chamada Naim, e com ele iam muitos de seus discípulos e uma grande multidão.
12 Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial — an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
E quando chegou perto da porta da cidade, eis que levavam um defunto, filho único de sua mãe, que [era] viúva; e com ela [ia] grande multidão da cidade.
13 When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her: “Do not weep.”
Quando o Senhor a viu, comoveu-se de intima compaixão por ela, e disse-lhe: Não chores.
14 Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said: “Young man, I am speaking to you — Rise!”
Então se aproximou, tocou o caixão (e os que a levavam, pararam), e disse: Jovem, a ti eu digo: levanta-te.
15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
E o defunto se sentou e começou a falar; e ele o entregou à sua mãe.
16 Every one was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great Prophet has arisen among us,” they said; “and God has visited his people.”
Todos se encheram de temor, e glorificavam a Deus, dizendo: “Um grande profeta se levantou entre nós, e Deus visitou o seu povo!”
17 And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighbouring countries as well.
E essa sua fama correu por toda a Judeia, e por toda a região em redor.
18 All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
E os discípulos de João lhe anunciaram essas coisas.
19 So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask — “Are you ‘The Coming One,’ or are we to look for some one else?”
Então João chamou dois de seus discípulos, e os enviou ao Senhor, dizendo: “És tu aquele que havia de vir, ou esperamos outro?”
20 When these men found Jesus, they said: “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask — ‘Are you ‘The Coming One,’ or are we to look for somebody else?’”
E quando aqueles homens vieram a ele, disseram: “João Batista nos enviou a ti, dizendo: 'És tu aquele que havia de vir, ou esperamos outro?'”
21 At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
Naquela mesma hora ele curou a muitos de enfermidades, males, e espíritos maus, e a deu vista a muitos cegos.
22 So his answer to the question was: “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard — the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the Good News is told to the poor.
E ele lhes respondeu: Ide, e anunciai a João as coisas que tendes visto e ouvido: que os cegos veem, os mancos andam, os leprosos são purificados, os surdos ouvem, os mortos ressuscitam, e aos pobres é anunciado o Evangelho.
23 And blessed is the man who finds no hindrance in me.”
E bendito é aquele que não se ofender em mim.
24 When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John:
E quando os mensageiros de João se foram, [Jesus] começou a dizer às multidões acerca de João: Que saístes para ver no deserto? Alguma cana sacudida pelo vento?
25 “What did you go out into the Wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
Mas que saístes para ver? Um homem vestido de roupas delicadas? Eis que os que [vestem] roupas delicadas e vivem no luxo estão nos palácios reais.
26 What then did you go to see? A Prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
Mas que saístes para ver? Um profeta? Sim, vos digo, e muito mais que profeta.
27 This is the very man of whom Scripture says — ‘Behold, I am sending my Messenger before thy face, And he shall prepare thy way before thee.’
Este é aquele de quem está escrito: Eis que envio o meu mensageiro adiante de tua face, o qual preparará o teu caminho diante de ti.
28 There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the lowliest in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Eu vos digo, que dentre os nascidos de mulheres, ninguém há maior que João; mas o menor no reino dos céus é maior que ele.
29 (All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax-gatherers, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
E todo o povo e os publicanos ouviram, concordaram que Deus era justo, e foram batizados com o batismo de João.
30 But the Pharisees and the Students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
Mas os fariseus e os estudiosos da Lei rejeitaram o conselho de Deus contra si mesmos, e não foram batizados por ele.
31 “To what then,” Jesus continued, “shall I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
E o Senhor disse: “A quem, pois, compararei as pessoas desta geração? E a quem são semelhantes?
32 They are like some little children who are sitting in the market-place and calling out to one another — ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
São semelhantes às crianças sentadas na praça, que gritam umas às outras: 'Nós vos tocamos flautas, mas não dançastes; nós cantamos lamentações, mas não chorastes'.
33 For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
Porque veio João Batista, que não comia pão, nem bebia vinho, e dizeis: 'Ele tem demônio';
34 and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and outcasts.’
Veio o Filho do homem, que come e bebe, e dizeis: 'Eis um homem comilão e bebedor de vinho, amigo dos publicanos e dos pecadores'.
35 And yet Wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Mas a sabedoria foi considerada justa por todos os seus filhos”.
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at table.
E um dos fariseus lhe pediu que comesse com ele; então entrou na casa do fariseu, e sentou-se [à mesa].
37 Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having ascertained that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
E eis que uma mulher da cidade, que era pecadora, quando soube que ele estava na casa do fariseu, trouxe um vaso de alabastro de óleo perfumado.
38 and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
E estando atrás, aos seus pés, chorando, começou a molhar-lhe os pés com lágrimas; e os enxugava com os cabelos da sua cabeça; e beijava-lhe os pés, e os ungia com o óleo perfumado.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself: “Had this man been ‘The Prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
E quando o fariseu que o havia convidado viu [isso], falou consigo mesmo: Se ele fosse profeta, saberia quem e qual é a mulher que o toca; porque ela é pecadora.
40 But, addressing him, Jesus said: “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, Teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began:
E Jesus lhe respondeu: “Simão, tenho uma coisa a te dizer”; e ele disse: “Dize-a, Mestre”.
41 “There were two people who were in debt to a money-lender; one owed fifty pounds, and the other five.
[Jesus] disse: “Certo credor tinha dois devedores. Um lhe devia quinhentas moedas de prata, e o outro cinquenta.
42 As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
Como não tinham com que pagar, perdoou-lhes [a dívida] de ambos. Qual, pois, deles o amará mais?”
43 “I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
Simão respondeu: Tenho para mim que aquele a quem mais perdoou. E ele lhe disse: Julgaste corretamente.
44 and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I came into your house — you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
Ele se voltou à mulher, e disse a Simão: Vês tu esta mulher? Entrei na tua casa, e não me deste água para os pés; porém esta molhou os meus pés com lágrimas, e os enxugou com os seus cabelos.
45 You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Tu não me beijaste; porém esta, desde que entrou, não parou de me beijar os pés.
46 You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
Não ungiste a minha cabeça com óleo, porém esta ungiu os meus pés com óleo perfumado.
47 And for this, I tell you, her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned, because she has loved greatly; but one who has little pardoned him, loves but little.”
Por isso te digo, os muitos pecados dela são perdoados, porque muito amou; mas ao que pouco se perdoa, pouco ama.
48 Then he said to the woman: “Your sins have been pardoned.”
E disse a ela: Os teus pecados são perdoados.
49 On this, those at table began to say to one another: “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
E os que estavam sentados começaram a dizer entre si: Quem é este, que até perdoa pecados?
50 But Jesus said to the woman: “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
E disse à mulher: A tua fé te salvou; vai em paz.
