Lucas 21
1 E, olhando ele, viu os ricos lançarem as suas ofertas na arca do tesouro;
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 E viu também uma pobre viúva lançar ali duas pequenas moedas;
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 E disse: Em verdade vos digo que lançou mais do que todos esta pobre viúva;
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Porque todos aqueles deitaram para as ofertas de Deus, do que lhes sobeja; mas esta, da sua pobreza, deitou todo o sustento que tinha.
5 E, dizendo alguns a respeito do templo, que estava ornado de formosas pedras e dádivas, disse:
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 Quanto a estas coisas que vêdes, dias virão em que se não deixará pedra sobre pedra, que não seja derribada.
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 E perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Mestre, quando serão pois estas coisas? E que sinal haverá quando estas coisas estiverem para acontecer?
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Disse então ele: vede não vos enganem, porque virão muitos em meu nome, dizendo: Eu sou o Cristo, e já o tempo está próximo; não vades portanto após eles.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 E, quando ouvirdes de guerras e sedições, não vos assusteis. Porque é necessário que estas coisas aconteçam primeiro, mas o fim não será logo.
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Então lhes disse: levantar-se-a nação contra nação, e reino contra reino;
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 E haverá em vários lugares grandes terremotos, e fomes e pestilências; haverá também coisas espantosas, e grandes sinais do céu.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Mas antes de todas estas coisas lançarão mão de vós, e vos perseguirão, entregando-vos às sinagogas e às prisões, e conduzindo-vos à presença de reis e presidentes, por amor do meu nome.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 E sobrevir-vos-a isto para testemunho.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Proponde pois em vossos corações não premeditar como haveis de responder,
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Porque eu vos darei boca e sabedoria a que não poderão contradizer nem resistir todos quantos se vos opuserem.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 E até pelos pais, e irmãos, e parentes, e amigos sereis entregues; e matarão alguns de vós.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 E por todos sereis aborrecidos por amor do meu nome.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Mas não perecerá nem um cabelo da vossa cabeça.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Na vossa paciência possui as vossas almas.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Porém, quando virdes Jerusalém cercada de exércitos, sabei então que já é chegada a sua assolação.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Então, os que estiverem na Judeia, fujam para os montes; e, os que estiverem no meio dela, saiam: e, os que nos campos, não entrem nela.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Porque dias de vingança são estes, para que se cumpram todas as coisas que estão escritas.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Mas ai das grávidas, e das que criarem naqueles dias! porque haverá grande aperto na terra, e ira sobre este povo.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 E cairão ao fio da espada, e para todas as nações serão levados cativos; e Jerusalém será pisada pelos gentios, até que os tempos dos gentios se completem.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 E haverá sinais no sol, e na lua e nas estrelas; e na terra aperto das nações em perplexidade, pelo bramido do mar e das ondas;
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Homens desmaiando de terror, na expectação das coisas que sobrevirão ao mundo. Porque as virtudes do céu serão abaladas.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 E então verão vir o Filho do homem numa nuvem, com poder e grande glória.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Ora, quando estas coisas começarem a acontecer, olhai para cima, e levantai as vossas cabeças, porque a vossa redenção está próxima.
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 E disse-lhes uma parábola: olhai para a figueira, e para todas as árvores;
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Quando já tem brotado, vós sabeis por vós mesmos, vendo-as, que perto está já o verão.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Assim também vós, quando virdes acontecer estas coisas, sabei que o reino de Deus está perto.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Em verdade vos digo que não passará esta geração até que tudo aconteça.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Passará o céu e a terra, mas as minhas palavras não hão de passar.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 E olhai por vós, não aconteça que os vossos corações se carreguem de glutonaria, embriaguez, e dos cuidados desta vida, e venha sobre vós de improviso aquele dia.
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 Porque virá como um laço sobre todos os que habitam sobre a face de toda a terra.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Vigiai pois em todo o tempo, orando, para que sejais havidos por dignos de evitar todas estas coisas que hão de acontecer, e de estar em pé diante do Filho do homem.
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 E de dia ensinava no templo, e à noite, saindo, ficava no monte chamado das Oliveiras.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 E todo o povo ia ter com ele ao templo, de manhã cedo, para o ouvir.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
