Lucas 15
1 E chegavam-se a ele todos os publicanos e pecadores para o ouvirem.
Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
2 E os fariseus e escribas murmuravam, dizendo: Este recebe aos pecadores, e come com eles.
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!”
3 E ele lhes propôs esta parábola, dizendo:
So Jesus told them this parable:
4 Quem de vós, tendo cem ovelhas, e perdendo uma delas, não deixa no deserto as noventa e nove, e vai em [busca] da perdida, até que a encontre?
“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]
5 E encontrando-a, [não] a ponha sobre seus ombros, com alegria?
When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
6 E vindo para casa, [não] convoque aos amigos, e vizinhos, dizendo-lhes: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei minha ovelha perdida?
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!’
7 Digo-vos, que assim haverá mais alegria no céu por um pecador que se arrepende, do que por noventa e nove justos que não precisam de arrependimento.
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.
8 Ou que mulher, tendo dez moedas de prata, se perder a uma moeda, não acende a lâmpada, e varre a casa, e busca cuidadosamente até [a] achar?
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]
9 E achando [-a], [não] chame as amigas e as vizinhas, dizendo: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a moeda perdida!
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!’
10 Assim vos digo, que há alegria diante dos anjos de Deus por um pecador que se arrepende.
I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
11 E disse: Um certo homem tinha dois filhos.
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.
12 E disse o mais jovem deles ao pai: Pai, dá-me a parte dos bens que [me] pertencem. E ele lhe repartiu os bens.
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.
13 E depois de não muitos dias, o filho mais jovem, juntando tudo, partiu-se para uma terra distante, e ali desperdiçou seus bens, vivendo de forma irresponsável.
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.
14 E ele, tendo já gastado tudo, houve uma grande fome naquela terra, e ele começou a sofrer necessidade.
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.
15 E foi, se chegou a um dos cidadãos daquela terra; e [este] o mandou a seus campos para alimentar porcos.
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.
16 E ele ficava com vontade de encher seu estômago com os grãos que os porcos comiam, mas ninguém [as] dava para ele.
[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.
17 E ele, pensando consigo mesmo, disse: Quantos empregados de meu pai tem pão em abundância, e eu [aqui] morro de fome!
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]!
18 Eu levantarei, e irei a meu pai, e lhe direi: Pai, pequei contra o céu, e diante de ti.
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)].
19 E já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho; faze-me como a um de teus empregados.
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.”’
20 E levantando-se, foi a seu pai. E quando ainda estava longe, o seu pai o viu, e teve compaixão dele; e correndo, caiu ao seu pescoço, e o beijou.
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].
21 E o filho lhe disse: Pai, pequei contra o céu, e diante de ti; e já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho.
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.’
22 Mas o pai disse a seus servos: Trazei a melhor roupa, e o vesti; e ponde um anel em sua mão, e sandálias nos [seus] pés.
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]!
23 E trazei o bezerro engordado, e o matai; e comamos, e nos alegremos.
Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
24 Porque este meu filho estava morto, e reviveu; tinha se perdido, e foi achado. E começaram a se alegrar.
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.
25 E seu filho mais velho estava no campo; e quando veio, chegou perto da casa, ouviu a música, e as danças.
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.
26 E chamando para si um dos servos, perguntou-lhe: O que era aquilo?
He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
27 E ele lhe disse: Teu irmão chegou; e teu pai matou o bezerro engordado, porque ele voltou são.
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.’
28 Porém ele se irritou, e não queria entrar. Então o seu pai, saindo, rogava-lhe [que entrasse].
[But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
29 Mas [o filho] respondendo, disse ao pai: Eis que eu te sirvo há tantos anos, e nunca desobedeci tua ordem, e nunca me deste um cabrito, para que eu me alegrasse com meus amigos.
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.
30 Porém, vindo este teu filho, que gastou teus bens com prostitutas, tu lhe mataste o bezerro engordado.
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!’
31 E ele lhe disse: Filho, tu sempre estás comigo, e todas as minhas coisas são tuas.
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.
32 Mas era necessário se alegrar e animar; porque este teu irmão estava morto, e reviveu; e tinha se perdido, e foi encontrado.
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!’”
