Lucas 3
1 Fazia quinze anos que Tibério era imperador. Nesse tempo, Pôncio Pilatos era o governador da Judeia, Herodes era o governador da Galileia, seu irmão, Filipe, era o governador da Itureia e Traconites, e Lisânias era o governador de Abilene.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Anás e Caifás eram os grandes sacerdotes. Foi nessa época que a palavra de Deus chegou a João, filho de Zacarias, que estava morando no deserto.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Ele percorreu toda a região do rio Jordão, anunciando a todos que eles precisavam ser batizados, para mostrar que se arrependeram e que seus pecados tinham sido perdoados.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Como Isaías, o profeta, escreveu: “Uma voz foi ouvida no deserto e dizia: ‘Preparem o caminho do Senhor! Abram um caminho reto para ele!
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Todos os vales serão aterrados e todos os montes e colinas serão nivelados. Os caminhos tortos serão endireitados e as estradas esburacadas serão consertadas.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
6 Todos os seres humanos verão a salvação de Deus.’”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 João dizia às multidões que vinham para serem batizadas por ele: “Ninhada de serpentes venenosas! Quem disse que vocês irão escapar do julgamento que virá?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Demonstrem que realmente se arrependeram dos seus pecados. Não tentem justificar a si mesmos, dizendo: ‘Nós somos descendentes de Abraão’, pois eu lhes digo que até destas pedras Deus pode criar filhos de Abraão.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 O machado está pronto para começar a cortar as árvores pela raiz. Qualquer árvore que não produzir bons frutos será cortada e jogada no fogo.”
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 A multidão perguntava a João: “Então, o que devemos fazer?”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Ele lhes respondia: “Se vocês têm dois casacos, deem um a quem não tem nenhum. Se tiverem comida, repartam com aqueles que não têm nada para comer.”
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Alguns cobradores de impostos vieram para serem batizados. Eles também perguntaram: “Mestre, o que devemos fazer?”
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Ele respondeu: “Não cobrem mais imposto do que a quantia devida.”
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Alguns soldados perguntaram: “E nós, o que devemos fazer?” João respondeu: “Não exijam dinheiro por meio de ameaças ou violência. Não façam acusações falsas. Fiquem satisfeitos com os seus salários.”
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 As pessoas aguardavam com grande expectativa e imaginavam que talvez o próprio João seria o Messias.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 João respondia e explicava a todos: “Sim, eu estou batizando vocês com água. Mas, aquele que está vindo é mais importante do que eu. E eu não sou digno nem de desamarrar as correias de suas sandálias. Ele batizará vocês com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.
John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Ele já está segurando a sua pá e está pronto para separar o trigo da palha em sua eira. Ele reunirá o trigo em seu depósito, mas queimará a palha com o fogo que não se apaga.”
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 João dava muitos conselhos como esse quando ele anunciava o evangelho para as pessoas.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Mas, quando João reprovou a atitude de Herodes, o governador, de se casar com Herodias, a sua cunhada, e de todas as coisas más que ele tinha feito,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Herodes acrescentou a sua lista de crimes a prisão de João.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Depois do batismo de todas aquelas pessoas, Jesus também foi batizado. Enquanto ele estava orando, o céu se abriu
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 e o Espírito Santo desceu na forma de uma pomba sobre ele. Uma voz vinda do céu disse: “Você é o meu Filho, a quem eu amo muito! Você realmente me deixa muito feliz!”
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
