Luke 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.	1 Naqueles tempos apareceu um decreto de César Augusto, ordenando o recenseamento de toda a terra.
2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.	2 Este recenseamento foi feito antes do governo de Quirino, na Síria.
3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.	3 Todos iam alistar-se, cada um na sua cidade.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David,	4 Também José subiu da Galiléia, da cidade de Nazaré, à Judéia, à Cidade de Davi, chamada Belém, porque era da casa e família de Davi,
5 To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.	5 para se alistar com a sua esposa Maria, que estava grávida.
6 And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.	6 Estando eles ali, completaram-se os dias dela.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.	7 E deu à luz seu filho primogênito, e, envolvendo-o em faixas, reclinou-o num presépio; porque não havia lugar para eles na hospedaria.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.	8 Havia nos arredores uns pastores, que vigiavam e guardavam seu rebanho nos campos durante as vigílias da noite.
9 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear.	9 Um anjo do Senhor apareceu-lhes e a glória do Senhor refulgiu ao redor deles, e tiveram grande temor.
10 And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:	10 O anjo disse-lhes: Não temais, eis que vos anuncio uma boa nova que será alegria para todo o povo:
11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.	11 hoje vos nasceu na Cidade de Davi um Salvador, que é o Cristo Senhor.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.	12 Isto vos servirá de sinal: achareis um recém-nascido envolto em faixas e posto numa manjedoura.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:	13 E subitamente ao anjo se juntou uma multidão do exército celeste, que louvava a Deus e dizia:
14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.	14 Glória a Deus no mais alto dos céus e na terra paz aos homens, objetos da benevolência {divina}.
15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.	15 Depois que os anjos os deixaram e voltaram para o céu, falaram os pastores uns com os outros: Vamos até Belém e vejamos o que se realizou e o que o Senhor nos manifestou.
16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.	16 Foram com grande pressa e acharam Maria e José, e o menino deitado na manjedoura.
17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.	17 Vendo-o, contaram o que se lhes havia dito a respeito deste menino.
18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.	18 Todos os que os ouviam admiravam-se das coisas que lhes contavam os pastores.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.	19 Maria conservava todas estas palavras, meditando-as no seu coração.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.	20 Voltaram os pastores, glorificando e louvando a Deus por tudo o que tinham ouvido e visto, e que estava de acordo com o que lhes fora dito.
21 And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.	21 Completados que foram os oito dias para ser circuncidado o menino, foi-lhe posto o nome de Jesus, como lhe tinha chamado o anjo, antes de ser concebido no seio materno.
22 And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:	22 Concluídos os dias da sua purificação segundo a Lei de Moisés, levaram-no a Jerusalém para o apresentar ao Senhor,
23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:	23 conforme o que está escrito na lei do Senhor: Todo primogênito do sexo masculino será consagrado ao Senhor {Ex 13,2};
24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:	24 e para oferecerem o sacrifício prescrito pela lei do Senhor, um par de rolas ou dois pombinhos.
25 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.	25 Ora, havia em Jerusalém um homem chamado Simeão. Este homem, justo e piedoso, esperava a consolação de Israel, e o Espírito Santo estava nele.
26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.	26 Fora-lhe revelado pelo Espírito Santo que não morreria sem primeiro ver o Cristo do Senhor.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,	27 Impelido pelo Espírito Santo, foi ao templo. E tendo os pais apresentado o menino Jesus, para cumprirem a respeito dele os preceitos da lei,
28 He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:	28 tomou-o em seus braços e louvou a Deus nestes termos:
29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;	29 Agora, Senhor, deixai o vosso servo ir em paz, segundo a vossa palavra.
30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,	30 Porque os meus olhos viram a vossa salvação
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:	31 que preparastes diante de todos os povos,
32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.	32 como luz para iluminar as nações, e para a glória de vosso povo de Israel.
33 And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.	33 Seu pai e sua mãe estavam admirados das coisas que dele se diziam.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;	34 Simeão abençoou-os e disse a Maria, sua mãe: Eis que este menino está destinado a ser uma causa de queda e de soerguimento para muitos homens em Israel, e a ser um sinal que provocará contradições,
35 And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.	35 a fim de serem revelados os pensamentos de muitos corações. E uma espada transpassará a tua alma.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.	36 Havia também uma profetisa chamada Ana, filha de Fanuel, da tribo de Aser; era de idade avançada.
37 And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.	37 Depois de ter vivido sete anos com seu marido desde a sua virgindade, ficara viúva, e agora com oitenta e quatro anos não se apartava do templo, servindo a Deus noite e dia em jejuns e orações.
38 Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.	38 Chegando ela à mesma hora, louvava a Deus e falava de Jesus a todos aqueles que em Jerusalém esperavam a libertação.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.	39 Após terem observado tudo segundo a lei do Senhor, voltaram para a Galiléia, à sua cidade de Nazaré.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.	40 O menino ia crescendo e se fortificava: estava cheio de sabedoria, e a graça de Deus repousava nele.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,	41 Seus pais iam todos os anos a Jerusalém para a festa da Páscoa.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,	42 Tendo ele atingido doze anos, subiram a Jerusalém, segundo o costume da festa.
43 And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.	43 Acabados os dias da festa, quando voltavam, ficou o menino Jesus em Jerusalém, sem que os seus pais o percebessem.
44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.	44 Pensando que ele estivesse com os seus companheiros de comitiva, andaram caminho de um dia e o buscaram entre os parentes e conhecidos.
45 And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.	45 Mas não o encontrando, voltaram a Jerusalém, à procura dele.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.	46 Três dias depois o acharam no templo, sentado no meio dos doutores, ouvindo-os e interrogando-os.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.	47 Todos os que o ouviam estavam maravilhados da sabedoria de suas respostas.
48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.	48 Quando eles o viram, ficaram admirados. E sua mãe disse-lhe: Meu filho, que nos fizeste?! Eis que teu pai e eu andávamos à tua procura, cheios de aflição.
49 And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?	49 Respondeu-lhes ele: Por que me procuráveis? Não sabíeis que devo ocupar-me das coisas de meu Pai?
50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.	50 Eles, porém, não compreenderam o que ele lhes dissera.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.	51 Em seguida, desceu com eles a Nazaré e lhes era submisso. Sua mãe guardava todas estas coisas no seu coração.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.	52 E Jesus crescia em estatura, em sabedoria e graça, diante de Deus e dos homens.
