Luke 3
|
| No décimo quinto ano do reinado de Tibério César, sendo Pôncio Pilatos governador da Judéia, Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, seu irmão Filipe tetrarca da região da Ituréia e de Traconites, e Lisânias tetrarca de Abilene, | Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene, |
| sendo Anás e Caifás sumos sacerdotes, veio a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacarias, no deserto. | When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land. |
| E ele percorreu toda a circunvizinhança do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão de pecados; | And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed. |
| como está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaías: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor; endireitai as suas veredas. | As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight. |
| Todo vale se encherá, e se abaixará todo monte e outeiro; o que é tortuoso se endireitará, e os caminhos escabrosos se aplanarão; | Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; |
| e toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus. | And all flesh will see the salvation of God. |
| João dizia, pois, às multidões que saíam para ser batizadas por ele: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensina a fugir da ira vindoura? | So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come? |
| Produzi, pois, frutos dignos de arrependimento; e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos por pai a Abrão; porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abrão. | Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham. |
| Também já está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda árvore, pois, que não produz bom fruto, é cortada e lançada no fogo. | And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire. |
| Ao que lhe perguntavam as multidões: Que faremos, pois? | And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do? |
| Respondia-lhes então: Aquele que tem duas túnicas, reparta com o que não tem nenhuma, e aquele que tem alimentos, faça o mesmo. | And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same. |
| Chegaram também uns publicanos para serem batizados, e perguntaram-lhe: Mestre, que havemos nós de fazer? | Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do? |
| Respondeu-lhes ele: Não cobreis além daquilo que vos foi prescrito. | And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount. |
| Interrogaram-no também uns soldados: E nós, que faremos? Disse-lhes: A ninguém queirais extorquir coisa alguma; nem deis denúncia falsa; e contentai-vos com o vosso soldo. | And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you. |
| Ora, estando o povo em expectativa e arrazoando todos em seus corações a respeito de João, se porventura seria ele o Cristo, | And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not, |
| respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, vos batizo em água, mas vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; ele vos batizará no Espírito Santo e em fogo. | John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: |
| A sua pá ele tem na mão para limpar bem a sua eira, e recolher o trigo ao seu celeiro; mas queimará a palha em fogo inextinguível. | In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out. |
| Assim pois, com muitas outras exortações ainda, anunciava o evangelho ao povo. | And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people; |
| Mas o tetrarca Herodes, sendo repreendido por ele por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão, e por todas as maldades que havia feito, | But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done, |
| acrescentou a todas elas ainda esta, a de encerrar João no cárcere. | Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison. |
| Quando todo o povo fora batizado, tendo sido Jesus também batizado, e estando ele a orar, o céu se abriu; | Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open, |
| e o Espírito Santo desceu sobre ele em forma corpórea, como uma pomba; e ouviu-se do céu esta voz: Tu és o meu Filho amado; em ti me comprazo. | The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. |
