Evangelho segundo São Lucas 7

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Tendo Jesus concluído todos os seus discursos ao povo que o escutava, entrou em Cafarnaum.	1 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Havia lá um centurião que tinha um servo a quem muito estimava e que estava à morte.	2 Now the servant of a certain centurion was dying, due to an illness. And he was very dear to him.
3 Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, enviou-lhe alguns anciãos dos judeus, rogando-lhe que o viesse curar.	3 And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, petitioning him, so that he would come and heal his servant.
4 Aproximando-se eles de Jesus, rogavam-lhe encarecidamente: Ele bem merece que lhe faças este favor,	4 And when they had come to Jesus, they petitioned him anxiously, saying to him: “He is worthy that you should provide this to him.
5 pois é amigo da nossa nação e foi ele mesmo quem nos edificou uma sinagoga.	5 For he loves our nation, and he has built a synagogue for us.”
6 Jesus então foi com eles. E já não estava longe da casa, quando o centurião lhe mandou dizer por amigos seus: Senhor, não te incomodes tanto assim, porque não sou digno de que entres em minha casa;	6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: “Lord, do not trouble yourself. For I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
7 por isso nem me achei digno de chegar-me a ti, mas dize somente uma palavra e o meu servo será curado.	7 Because of this, I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Pois também eu, simples subalterno, tenho soldados às minhas ordens; e digo a um: Vai ali! E ele vai; e a outro: Vem cá! E ele vem; e ao meu servo: Faze isto! E ele o faz.	8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Ouvindo estas palavras, Jesus ficou admirado. E, voltando-se para o povo que o ia seguindo, disse: Em verdade vos digo: nem mesmo em Israel encontrei tamanha fé.	9 And upon hearing this, Jesus was amazed. And turning to the multitude following him, he said, “Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10 Voltando para a casa do centurião os que haviam sido enviados, encontraram o servo curado.	10 And those who had been sent, upon returning to the house, found that the servant, who had been sick, was now healthy.
11 No dia seguinte dirigiu-se Jesus a uma cidade chamada Naim. Iam com ele diversos discípulos e muito povo.	11 And it happened afterwards that he went to a city, which is called Nain. And his disciples, and an abundant crowd, went with him.
12 Ao chegar perto da porta da cidade, eis que levavam um defunto a ser sepultado, filho único de uma viúva; acompanhava-a muita gente da cidade.	12 Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold, a deceased person was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13 Vendo-a o Senhor, movido de compaixão para com ela, disse-lhe: Não chores!	13 And when the Lord had seen her, being moved by mercy over her, he said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 E aproximando-se, tocou no esquife, e os que o levavam pararam. Disse Jesus: Moço, eu te ordeno, levanta-te.	14 And he drew near and touched the coffin. Then those who carried it stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15 Sentou-se o que estivera morto e começou a falar, e Jesus entregou-o à sua mãe.	15 And the dead youth sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Apoderou-se de todos o temor, e glorificavam a Deus, dizendo: Um grande profeta surgiu entre nós: Deus voltou os olhos para o seu povo.	16 Then fear fell over all of them. And they magnified God, saying: “For a great prophet has risen up among us,” and, “For God has visited his people.”
17 A notícia deste fato correu por toda a Judéia e por toda a circunvizinhança.	17 And this word about him went out to all of Judea and to the entire surrounding region.
18 Os discípulos de João referiram-lhe todas estas coisas.	18 And the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
19 E João chamou dois dos seus discípulos e enviou-os a Jesus, perguntando: És tu o que há de vir ou devemos esperar por outro?	19 And John called two of his disciples, and he sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you he who is to come, or should we wait for another?”
20 Chegando estes homens a ele, disseram: João Batista enviou-nos a ti, perguntando: És tu o que há de vir ou devemos esperar por outro?	20 But when the men had come to him, they said: “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying: ‘Are you he who is to come, or should we wait for another?’ ”
21 Ora, naquele momento Jesus havia curado muitas pessoas de enfermidades, de doenças e de espíritos malignos, e dado a vista a muitos cegos.	21 Now in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and wounds and evil spirits; and to many of the blind, he gave sight.
22 Respondeu-lhes ele: Ide anunciar a João o que tendes visto e ouvido: os cegos vêem, os coxos andam, os leprosos ficam limpos, os surdos ouvem, os mortos ressuscitam, aos pobres é anunciado o Evangelho;	22 And responding, he said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.
23 e bem-aventurado é aquele para quem eu não for ocasião de queda!	23 And blessed is anyone who has not taken offense at me.”
24 Depois que se retiraram os mensageiros de João, ele começou a falar de João ao povo: Que fostes ver no deserto? Um caniço agitado pelo vento?	24 And when the messengers of John had withdrawn, he began to speak about John to the crowds. “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Mas que fostes ver? Um homem vestido de roupas finas? Mas os que vestem roupas preciosas e vivem no luxo estão nos palácios dos reis.	25 Then what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who are in costly apparel and finery are in the houses of kings.
26 Mas, enfim, que fostes ver? Um profeta? Sim, digo-vos, e mais do que profeta.	26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Certainly, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27 Este é aquele de quem está escrito: Eis que envio o meu mensageiro ante a tua face; ele preparará o teu caminho diante de ti {Ml 3,1}.	27 This is he of whom it is written: “Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.”
28 Pois vos digo: entre os nascidos de mulher não há maior que João. Entretanto, o menor no Reino de Deus é maior do que ele.	28 For I say to you, among those born of women, no one is greater than the prophet John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Ouvindo-o todo o povo, e mesmo os publicanos, deram razão a Deus, fazendo-se batizar com o batismo de João.	29 And upon hearing this, all the people and the tax collectors justified God, by being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Os fariseus, porém, e os doutores da lei, recusando o seu batismo, frustraram o desígnio de Deus a seu respeito.	30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law despised the counsel of God concerning themselves, by not being baptized by him.
31 A quem compararei os homens desta geração? Com quem se assemelham?	31 Then the Lord said: “Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar?
32 São semelhantes a meninos que, sentados na praça, falam uns com os outros, dizendo: Tocamos a flauta e não dançastes; entoamos lamentações e não chorastes.	32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’
33 Pois veio João Batista, que nem comia pão nem bebia vinho, e dizeis: Ele está possuído do demônio.	33 For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Veio o Filho do Homem, que come e bebe, e dizeis: Eis um comilão e beberrão, amigo dos publicanos e libertinos.	34 The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’
35 Mas a sabedoria foi justificada por todos os seus filhos.	35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Um fariseu convidou Jesus a ir comer com ele. Jesus entrou na casa dele e pôs-se à mesa.	36 Then certain Pharisees petitioned him, so that they might eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and he reclined at table.
37 Uma mulher pecadora da cidade, quando soube que estava à mesa em casa do fariseu, trouxe um vaso de alabastro cheio de perfume;	37 And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner, found out that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, so she brought an alabaster container of ointment.
38 e, estando a seus pés, por detrás dele, começou a chorar. Pouco depois suas lágrimas banhavam os pés do Senhor e ela os enxugava com os cabelos, beijava-os e os ungia com o perfume.	38 And standing behind him, beside his feet, she began to wash his feet with tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and she kissed his feet, and she anointed them with ointment.
39 Ao presenciar isto, o fariseu, que o tinha convidado, dizia consigo mesmo: Se este homem fosse profeta, bem saberia quem e qual é a mulher que o toca, pois é pecadora.	39 Then the Pharisee, who had invited him, upon seeing this, spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if he were a prophet, would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this, who is touching him: that she is a sinner.”
40 Então Jesus lhe disse: Simão, tenho uma coisa a dizer-te. Fala, Mestre, disse ele.	40 And in response, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Speak, Teacher.”
41 Um credor tinha dois devedores: um lhe devia quinhentos denários e o outro, cinqüenta.	41 “A certain creditor had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Não tendo eles com que pagar, perdoou a ambos a sua dívida. Qual deles o amará mais?	42 And since they did not have the ability to repay him, he forgave them both. So then, which of them loves him more?”
43 Simão respondeu: A meu ver, aquele a quem ele mais perdoou. Jesus replicou-lhe: Julgaste bem.	43 In response, Simon said, “I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 E voltando-se para a mulher, disse a Simão: Vês esta mulher? Entrei em tua casa e não me deste água para lavar os pés; mas esta, com as suas lágrimas, regou-me os pés e enxugou-os com os seus cabelos.	44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet. But she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with her hair.
45 Não me deste o ósculo; mas esta, desde que entrou, não cessou de beijar-me os pés.	45 You gave no kiss to me. But she, from the time that she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Não me ungiste a cabeça com óleo; mas esta, com perfume, ungiu-me os pés.	46 You did not anoint my head with oil. But she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Por isso te digo: seus numerosos pecados lhe foram perdoados, porque ela tem demonstrado muito amor. Mas ao que pouco se perdoa, pouco ama.	47 Because of this, I tell you: many sins are forgiven her, because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven less, loves less.”
48 E disse a ela: Perdoados te são os pecados.	48 Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven you.”
49 Os que estavam com ele à mesa começaram a dizer, então: Quem é este homem que até perdoa pecados?	49 And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
50 Mas Jesus, dirigindo-se à mulher, disse-lhe: Tua fé te salvou; vai em paz.	50 Then he said to the woman: “Your faith has brought you salvation. Go in peace.”
