Luke 13

Ora, naquele mesmo tempo estavam presentes alguns que lhe falavam dos galileus cujo sangue Pilatos misturara com os sacrifícios deles. | Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings. |
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Pensais vós que esses foram maiores pecadores do que todos os galileus, por terem padecido tais coisas? | And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them? |
Não, eu vos digo; antes, se não vos arrependerdes, todos de igual modo perecereis. | I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end. |
Ou pensais que aqueles dezoito, sobre os quais caiu a torre de Siloé e os matou, foram mais culpados do que todos os outros habitantes de Jerusalém? | Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem? |
Não, eu vos digo; antes, se não vos arrependerdes, todos de igual modo perecereis. | I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way. |
E passou a narrar esta parábola: Certo homem tinha uma figueira plantada na sua vinha; e indo procurar fruto nela, e não o achou. | And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit. |
Disse então ao viticultor: Eis que há três anos venho procurar fruto nesta figueira, e não o acho; corta-a; para que ocupa ela ainda a terra inutilmente? | And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space? |
Respondeu-lhe ele: Senhor, deixa-a este ano ainda, até que eu cave em derredor, e lhe deite estrume; | And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile: |
e se no futuro der fruto, bem; mas, se não, cortá-la-ás. | And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down. |
Jesus estava ensinando numa das sinagogas no sábado. | And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath. |
E estava ali uma mulher que tinha um espírito de enfermidade havia já dezoito anos; e andava encurvada, e não podia de modo algum endireitar-se. | And there was a woman who had had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent, and was not able to make herself straight. |
Vendo-a Jesus, chamou-a, e disse-lhe: Mulher, estás livre da tua enfermidade; | And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease. |
e impôs-lhe as mãos e imediatamente ela se endireitou, e glorificava a Deus. | And he put his hands on her, and she was made straight, and gave praise to God. |
Então o chefe da sinagoga, indignado porque Jesus curara no sábado, tomando a palavra disse à multidão: Seis dias há em que se deve trabalhar; vinde, pois, neles para serdes curados, e não no dia de sábado. | And the ruler of the Synagogue was angry because Jesus had made her well on the Sabbath, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men may do work: so come on those days to be made well, and not on the Sabbath. |
Respondeu-lhe, porém, o Senhor: Hipócritas, no sábado não desprende da manjedoura cada um de vós o seu boi, ou jumento, para o levar a beber? | But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water? |
E não devia ser solta desta prisão, no dia de sábado, esta que é filha de Abraão, a qual há dezoito anos Satanás tinha presa? | And is it not right for this daughter of Abraham, who has been in the power of Satan for eighteen years, to be made free on the Sabbath? |
E dizendo ele essas coisas, todos os seus adversário ficavam envergonhados; e todo o povo se alegrava por todas as coisas gloriosas que eram feitas por ele. | And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him. |
Ele, pois, dizia: A que é semelhante o reino de Deus, e a que o compararei? | Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it? |
É semelhante a um grão de mostarda que um homem tomou e lançou na sua horta; cresceu, e fez-se árvore, e em seus ramos se aninharam as aves do céu. | It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven made their resting-places in its branches. |
E disse outra vez: A que compararei o reino de Deus? | And again he said, What is the kingdom of God like? |
É semelhante ao fermento que uma mulher tomou e misturou com três medidas de farinha, até ficar toda ela levedada. | It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened. |
Assim percorria Jesus as cidades e as aldeias, ensinando, e caminhando para Jerusalém. | And he went on his way, through towns and country places, teaching and journeying to Jerusalem. |
E alguém lhe perguntou: Senhor, são poucos os que se salvam? Ao que ele lhes respondeu: | And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them, |
Porfiai por entrar pela porta estreita; porque eu vos digo que muitos procurarão entrar, e não poderão. | Do your best to go in by the narrow door, for I say to you, A number will make the attempt to go in, but will not be able to do so. |
Quando o dono da casa se tiver levantado e cerrado a porta, e vós começardes, de fora, a bater à porta, dizendo: Senhor, abre-nos; e ele vos responder: Não sei donde vós sois; | When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from. |
então começareis a dizer: Comemos e bebemos na tua presença, e tu ensinaste nas nossas ruas; | Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets. |
e ele vos responderá: Não sei donde sois; apartaivos de mim, vós todos os que praticais a iniqüidade. | But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil. |
Ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes quando virdes Abraão, Isaque, Jacó e todos os profetas no reino de Deus, e vós lançados fora. | There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside. |
Muitos virão do oriente e do ocidente, do norte e do sul, e reclinar-se-ão à mesa no reino de Deus. | And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God. |
Pois há últimos que serão primeiros, e primeiros que serão últimos. | And the last will be first, and the first will be last. |
Naquela mesma hora chegaram alguns fariseus que lhe disseram: Sai, e retira-te daqui, porque Herodes quer matar-te. | At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death. |
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Ide e dizei a essa raposa: Eis que vou expulsando demônios e fazendo curas, hoje e amanhã, e no terceiro dia serei consumado. | And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete. |
Importa, contudo, caminhar hoje, amanhã, e no dia seguinte; porque não convém que morra um profeta fora de Jerusalém. | But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem. |
Jerusalém, Jerusalém, que matas os profetas, e apedrejas os que a ti são enviados! Quantas vezes quis eu ajuntar os teus filhos, como a galinha ajunta a sua ninhada debaixo das asas, e não quiseste! | O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not! |
Eis aí, abandonada vos é a vossa casa. E eu vos digo que não me vereis até que venha o tempo em que digais: Bendito aquele que vem em nome do Senhor. | Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord. |
