Evangelho segundo São Lucas 13

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Neste mesmo tempo contavam alguns o que tinha acontecido a certos galileus, cujo sangue Pilatos misturara com os seus sacrifícios.	1 And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Jesus toma a palavra e lhes pergunta: Pensais vós que estes galileus foram maiores pecadores do que todos os outros galileus, por terem sido tratados desse modo?	2 And responding, he said to them: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
3 Não, digo-vos. Mas se não vos arrependerdes, perecereis todos do mesmo modo.	3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
4 Ou cuidais que aqueles dezoito homens, sobre os quais caiu a torre de Siloé e os matou, foram mais culpados do que todos os demais habitantes de Jerusalém?	4 And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
5 Não, digo-vos. Mas se não vos arrependerdes, perecereis todos do mesmo modo.	5 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
6 Disse-lhes também esta comparação: Um homem havia plantado uma figueira na sua vinha, e, indo buscar fruto, não o achou.	6 And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
7 Disse ao viticultor: - Eis que três anos há que venho procurando fruto nesta figueira e não o acho. Corta-a; para que ainda ocupa inutilmente o terreno?	7 Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’
8 Mas o viticultor respondeu: - Senhor, deixa-a ainda este ano; eu lhe cavarei em redor e lhe deitarei adubo.	8 But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
9 Talvez depois disto dê frutos. Caso contrário, cortá-la-ás.	9 And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’ ”
10 Estava Jesus ensinando na sinagoga em um sábado.	10 Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths.
11 Havia ali uma mulher que, havia dezoito anos, era possessa de um espírito que a detinha doente: andava curvada e não podia absolutamente erguer-se.	11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all.
12 Ao vê-la, Jesus a chamou e disse-lhe: Estás livre da tua doença.	12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.”
13 Impôs-lhe as mãos e no mesmo instante ela se endireitou, glorificando a Deus.	13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God.
14 Mas o chefe da sinagoga, indignado de ver que Jesus curava no sábado, disse ao povo: São seis os dias em que se deve trabalhar; vinde, pois, nestes dias para vos curar, mas não em dia de sábado.	14 Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
15 Hipócritas!, disse-lhes o Senhor. Não desamarra cada um de vós no sábado o seu boi ou o seu jumento da manjedoura, para os levar a beber?	15 Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
16 Esta filha de Abraão, que Satanás paralisava há dezoito anos, não devia ser livre desta prisão, em dia de sábado?	16 So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?”
17 Ao proferir estas palavras, todos os seus adversários se encheram de confusão, ao passo que todo o povo, à vista de todos os milagres que ele realizava, se entusiasmava.	17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
18 Jesus dizia ainda: A que é semelhante o Reino de Deus, e a que o compararei?	18 And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
19 É semelhante ao grão de mostarda que um homem tomou e semeou na sua horta, e que cresceu até se fazer uma grande planta e as aves do céu vieram fazer ninhos nos seus ramos.	19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”
20 Disse ainda: A que direi que é semelhante o Reino de Deus?	20 And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 É semelhante ao fermento que uma mulher tomou e misturou em três medidas de farinha e toda a massa ficou levedada.	21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
22 Sempre em caminho para Jerusalém, Jesus ia atravessando cidades e aldeias e nelas ensinava.	22 And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Alguém lhe perguntou: Senhor, são poucos os homens que se salvam? Ele respondeu:	23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them:
24 Procurai entrar pela porta estreita; porque, digo-vos, muitos procurarão entrar e não o conseguirão.	24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.
25 Quando o pai de família tiver entrado e fechado a porta, e vós, de fora, começardes a bater à porta, dizendo: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos, ele responderá: Digo-vos que não sei de onde sois.	25 Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 Direis então: Comemos e bebemos contigo e tu ensinaste em nossas praças.	26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Ele, porém, vos dirá: Não sei de onde sois; apartai-vos de mim todos vós que sois malfeitores.	27 And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
28 Ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes, quando virdes Abraão, Isaac, Jacó e todos os profetas no Reino de Deus, e vós serdes lançados para fora.	28 In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside.
29 Virão do oriente e do ocidente, do norte e do sul, e sentar-se-ão à mesa no Reino de Deus.	29 And they will arrive from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South; and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Há últimos que serão os primeiros, e há primeiros que serão os últimos.	30 And behold, those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.”
31 No mesmo dia chegaram alguns dos fariseus, dizendo a Jesus: Sai e vai-te daqui, porque Herodes te quer matar.	31 On the same day, some of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: “Depart, and go away from here. For Herod wishes to kill you.”
32 Disse-lhes ele: Ide dizer a essa raposa: eis que expulso demônios e faço curas hoje e amanhã; e ao terceiro dia terminarei a minha vida.	32 And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish healings, today and tomorrow. And on the third day I reach the end.’
33 É necessário, todavia, que eu caminhe hoje, amanhã e depois de amanhã, porque não é admissível que um profeta morra fora de Jerusalém.	33 Yet truly, it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day. For it does not fall to a prophet to perish beyond Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalém, Jerusalém, que matas os profetas e apedrejas os enviados de Deus, quantas vezes quis ajuntar os teus filhos, como a galinha abriga a sua ninhada debaixo das asas, mas não o quiseste!	34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, and you stone those who are sent to you. Daily, I wanted to gather together your children, in the manner of a bird with her nest under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 Eis que vos ficará deserta a vossa casa. Digo-vos, porém, que não me vereis até que venha o dia em que digais: Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor!	35 Behold, your house will be left desolate for you. But I say to you, that you shall not see me, until it happens that you say: ‘Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.’ ”
