Lucas 2
|
| Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world. | Naqueles dias saiu um decreto da parte de César Augusto, para que todo o mundo fosse recenseado. |
| This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria. | Este primeiro recenseamento foi feito quando Quirínio era governador da Síria. |
| And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town. | E todos iam alistar-se, cada um à sua própria cidade. |
| And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David, | Subiu também José, da Galiléia, da cidade de Nazaré, à cidade de Davi, chamada Belém, porque era da casa e família de Davi, |
| To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother. | a fim de alistar-se com Maria, sua esposa, que estava grávida. |
| And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. | Enquanto estavam ali, chegou o tempo em que ela havia de dar à luz, |
| And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house. | e teve a seu filho primogênito; envolveu-o em faixas e o deitou em uma manjedoura, porque não havia lugar para eles na estalagem. |
| And in the same country there were keepers of sheep in the fields, watching over their flock by night. | Ora, havia naquela mesma região pastores que estavam no campo, e guardavam durante as vigílias da noite o seu rebanho. |
| And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining round about them: and fear came on them. | E um anjo do Senhor apareceu-lhes, e a glória do Senhor os cercou de resplendor; pelo que se encheram de grande temor. |
| And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people: | O anjo, porém, lhes disse: Não temais, porquanto vos trago novas de grande alegria que o será para todo o povo: |
| For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord. | É que vos nasceu hoje, na cidade de Davi, o Salvador, que é Cristo, o Senhor. |
| And this is the sign to you: you will see a young child folded in linen, in the place where the cattle have their food. | E isto vos será por sinal: Achareis um menino envolto em faixas, e deitado em uma manjedoura. |
| And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying, | Então, de repente, apareceu junto ao anjo grande multidão da milícia celestial, louvando a Deus e dizendo: |
| Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased. | Glória a Deus nas maiores alturas, e paz na terra entre os homens de boa vontade. |
| And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us. | E logo que os anjos se retiraram deles para o céu, diziam os pastores uns aos outros: Vamos já até Belém, e vejamos isso que aconteceu e que o Senhor nos deu a conhecer. |
| And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food. | Foram, pois, a toda a pressa, e acharam Maria e José, e o menino deitado na manjedoura; |
| And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child. | e, vendo-o, divulgaram a palavra que acerca do menino lhes fora dita; |
| And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep. | e todos os que a ouviram se admiravam do que os pastores lhes diziam. |
| But Mary kept all these words in her heart, and gave much thought to them. | Maria, porém, guardava todas estas coisas, meditando-as em seu coração. |
| Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them. | E voltaram os pastores, glorificando e louvando a Deus por tudo o que tinham ouvido e visto, como lhes fora dito. |
| And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth. | Quando se completaram os oito dias para ser circuncidado o menino, foi-lhe dado o nome de Jesus, que pelo anjo lhe fora posto antes de ser concebido. |
| And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord | Terminados os dias da purificação, segundo a lei de Moisés, levaram-no a Jerusalém, para apresentá-lo ao Senhor |
| (As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord), | , |
| And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds. | e para oferecerem um sacrifício segundo o disposto na lei do Senhor: um par de rolas, ou dois pombinhos. |
| And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him. | Ora, havia em Jerusalém um homem cujo nome era Simeão; e este homem, justo e temente a Deus, esperava a consolação de Israel; e o Espírito Santo estava sobre ele. |
| And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ. | E lhe fora revelado pelo Espírito Santo que ele não morreria antes de ver o Cristo do Senhor. |
| And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law, | Assim pelo Espírito foi ao templo; e quando os pais trouxeram o menino Jesus, para fazerem por ele segundo o costume da lei, |
| Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said, | Simeão o tomou em seus braços, e louvou a Deus, e disse: |
| Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said; | Agora, Senhor, despedes em paz o teu servo, segundo a tua palavra; |
| For my eyes have seen your salvation, | pois os meus olhos já viram a tua salvação, |
| Which you have made ready before the face of all nations; | a qual tu preparaste ante a face de todos os povos; |
| A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel. | luz para revelação aos gentios, e para glória do teu povo Israel. |
| And his father and mother were full of wonder at the things which were said about him. | Enquanto isso, seu pai e sua mãe se admiravam das coisas que deles se diziam. |
| And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said; | E Simeão os abençoou, e disse a Maria, mãe do menino: Eis que este é posto para queda e para levantamento de muitos em Israel, e para ser alvo de contradição, |
| (And a sword will go through your heart;) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light. | sim, e uma espada traspassará a tua própria alma, para que se manifestem os pensamentos de muitos corações. |
| And there was one, Anna, a woman prophet, the daughter of Phanuel, of the family of Asher (she was very old, and after seven years of married life | Havia também uma profetisa, Ana, filha de Fanuel, da tribo de Aser. Era já avançada em idade, tendo vivido com o marido sete anos desde a sua virgindade; |
| She had been a widow for eighty-four years); she was in the Temple at all times, worshipping with prayers and going without food, night and day. | e era viúva, de quase oitenta e quatro anos. Não se afastava do templo, servindo a Deus noite e dia em jejuns e orações. |
| And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem. | Chegando ela na mesma hora, deu graças a Deus, e falou a respeito do menino a todos os que esperavam a redenção de Jerusalém. |
| And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living. | Assim que cumpriram tudo segundo a lei do Senhor, voltaram à Galiléia, para sua cidade de Nazaré. |
| And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. | E o menino ia crescendo e fortalecendo-se, ficando cheio de sabedoria; e a graça de Deus estava sobre ele. |
| And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover. | Ora, seus pais iam todos os anos a Jerusalém, à festa da páscoa. |
| And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast; | Quando Jesus completou doze anos, subiram eles segundo o costume da festa; |
| And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it: | e, terminados aqueles dias, ao regressarem, ficou o menino Jesus em Jerusalém sem o saberem seus pais; |
| And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends, | julgando, porém, que estivesse entre os companheiros de viagem, andaram caminho de um dia, e o procuravam entre os parentes e conhecidos; |
| And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him. | e não o achando, voltaram a Jerusalém em busca dele. |
| And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them. | E aconteceu que, passados três dias, o acharam no templo, sentado no meio dos doutores, ouvindo-os, e interrogando-os. |
| And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave. | E todos os que o ouviam se admiravam da sua inteligência e das suas respostas. |
| And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow. | Quando o viram, ficaram maravilhados, e disse-lhe sua mãe: Filho, por que procedeste assim para conosco? Eis que teu pai e eu ansiosos te procurávamos. |
| And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house? | Respondeu-lhes ele: Por que me procuráveis? Não sabíeis que eu devia estar na casa de meu Pai? |
| And his words seemed strange to them. | Eles, porém, não entenderam as palavras que lhes dissera. |
| And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart. | Então, descendo com eles, foi para Nazaré, e era-lhes sujeito. E sua mãe guardava todas estas coisas em seu coração. |
| And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men. | E crescia Jesus em sabedoria, em estatura e em graça diante de Deus e dos homens. |
