| 1 Tendo Jesus partido dali, foi para a sua pátria; e seguiam-no os seus discípulos. | 1 He departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disciples. |
| 2 Chegando o sábado, começou a ensinar na sinagoga. Os seus numerosos ouvintes admiravam-se e diziam : "Donde vêm a este todas estas coisas que diz? Que sabedoria é esta que lhe foi dada? E como se operam tais maravilhas pelas suas mãos? | 2 When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! |
| 3 Não é este o carpinteiro, filho de Maria, irmão de Tiago, de José, de Judas e de Simão? Não vivem aqui entre nós também suas irmãs?" E estavam perplexos a seu respeito. | 3 Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. |
| 4 Mas Jesus dizia-lhes: "Um profeta só deixa de ser honrado na sua pátria, entre os seus parentes e na sua própria casa." | 4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house." |
| 5 E não podia fazer ali milagre algum; apenas curou alguns poucos enfermos, impondo-lhes as mãos. | 5 So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. |
| 6 E admirava-se da incredulidade deles. Depois andava ensinando pelas aldeias circunvizinhas. | 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. He went around to the villages in the vicinity teaching. |
| 7 Chamou os doze, e começou a enviá-los dois a dois, dando-lhes poder sobre os espíritos imundos. | 7 He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. |
| 8 Ordenou-lhes que não tomassem nada para o caminho, senão sòmente um bastão; nem alforge, nem pão, nem dinheiro na cintura; | 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick--no food, no sack, no money in their belts. |
| 9 mas que fossem calçados de sandálias, e não levassem duas túnicas. | 9 They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. |
| 10 E dizía-Ihes: "E m qualquer casa onde entrardes, ficai nela até sairdes daquele lugar. | 10 He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. |
| 11 Onde vos não receberem, nem vos ouvirem, retirando-vos de lá, sacudi o pó dos vossos pés em testemunho contra eles." | 11 Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them." |
| 12 Tendo partido, pregavam aos povos que fizessem penitência. | 12 So they went off and preached repentance. |
| 13 Expeliam muitos demônios, ungiam com óleo muitos enfermos, e curavam-nos. | 13 They drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. |
| 14 Ora o rei Herodes ouviu falar de Jesus, cujo nome se tinha tornado célebre. Dizia-se: "João Batista ressuscitou de entre os mortos; é por isso que o poder de fazer milagres opera nele." | 14 King Herod heard about it, for his fame had become widespread, and people were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him." |
| 15 Outros, porém, diziam : "É Elias." E outros diziam : "É um profeta, como um dos antigos profetas." | 15 Others were saying, "He is Elijah"; still others, "He is a prophet like any of the prophets." |
| 16 Herodes, tendo ouvido isto, disse: "Este é aquele João, a quem eu mandei degolar, e que ressuscitou dos mortos." | 16 But when Herod learned of it, he said, "It is John whom I beheaded. He has been raised up." |
| 17 Porque Herodes tinha mandado prender João, e teve-o em ferros no cárcere por causa de Herodíades, mulher de Filipe, seu irmão, com a qual tinha casado (ilicitamente), | 17 Herod was the one who had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. |
| 18 Porque João dizia a Herodes: "Não te é lícito ter a mulher de teu irmão." | 18 John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." |
| 19 Herodíades tinha-lhe rancor e queria fazê-lo morrer, porém não podia, | 19 Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. |
| 20 porque Herodes, sabendo que João era varão justo e santo, olhava-o com respeito, protegia-o, e, quando o ouvia, ficava muito perplexo, porém ouvia-o de boa vontade. | 20 Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. |
| 21 Chegando um dia oportuno, Herodes, no aniversário do seu nascimento, deu um banquete aos grandes da corte, aos tribunos e aos principais da Galileia. | 21 She had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers, and the leading men of Galilee. |
| 22 Tendo entrado na sala a filha da mesma Herodíades, dançou e agradou a Herodes e aos seus convivas. O rei disse à moça: "Pede-me o que quiseres e eu to darei." | 22 Herodias's own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you." |
| 23 E jurou-lhe: "Tudo o que me pedires, te darei, ainda que seja metade do meu reino." | 23 He even swore (many things) to her, "I will grant you whatever you ask of me, even to half of my kingdom." |
| 24 Ela, tendo saído, disse a sua mãe" "Que hei-de eu pedir?" Ela respondeu-lhe: "A cabeça de João Batista." | 24 She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptist." |
| 25 Tornando logo a entrar apressadamente junto do rei, fez este pedido: "Quero que imediatamente me dês num prato a cabeça de João Batista." | 25 The girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request, "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist." |
| 26 O rei entristeceu-se, mas, por causa do juramento e dos convivas, não quis desgostá-la. | 26 The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her. |
| 27 Imediatamente mandou um guarda com ordem de trazer a cabeça de João. Ele foi degolá-lo no cárcere, | 27 So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. |
| 28 levou a sua cabeça num prato, deu-o à moça, e a moça a deu a sua mãe. | 28 He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. |
| 29 Tendo ouvido isto os seus discípulos, foram, tomaram o seu corpo, e o depuseram num sepulcro. | 29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. |
| 30 Tendo os Apóstolos voltado a Jesus, contaram-Ihe tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado. | 30 The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. |
| 31 Ele disse-Ihes: "Vinde aparte, a um lugar solitário, e descansai um pouco." Porque eram muitos os que iam e vinham, e nem tinham tempo para comer. | 31 He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. |
| 32 Entrando pois numa barca, retiraram-se aparte, a um lugar solitário. | 32 So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. |
| 33 Porém viram-nos partir, e muitos souberam para onde iam, e concorreram lá, a pé, de todas as cidades, e chegaram primeiro que eles. | 33 People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. |
| 34 Ao desembarcar, viu Jesus uma grande multidão. Teve compaixão deles, porque eram como ovelhas sem pastor, e começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas. | 34 When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. |
| 35 Fazendo-se tarde, chegaram-se a eles seus discípulos, dizendo: "Este lugar é solitário e a hora é já adiantada; | 35 By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, "This is a deserted place and it is already very late. |
| 36 despede-os, a fim de que vão às quintas e povoados próximos e comprem alguma coisa para comer." | 36 Dismiss them so that they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat." |
| 37 Ele respondeu-lhes: "Dai-lhes vós de comer." Eles disseram: "Iremos pois com duzentos dinheiros comprar pão para lhes darmos de comer?" | 37 He said to them in reply, "Give them some food yourselves." But they said to him, "Are we to buy two hundred days' wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?" |
| 38 Jesus perguntou-lhes: "Quantos pães tendes vós? Ide ver." Depois de terem examinado, disseram-lhe: "Temos cinco, e dois peixes." | 38 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they had found out they said, "Five loaves and two fish." |
| 39 Então mandou-lhes que os fizessem recostar a todos, em grupos, sobre a relva verde. | 39 So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass. |
| 40 E recostaram-se em grupos de cem e de cinquenta. | 40 The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties. |
| 41 Jesus, tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, elevando os olhos ao céu, abençoou e partiu os pães, e os deu a seus discípulos para que lhos servissem; igualmente repartiu por todos os dois peixes. | 41 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to (his) disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. |
| 42 Todos comeram e ficaram saciados. | 42 They all ate and were satisfied. |
| 43 E recolheram doze cestos cheios das sobras dos pães e dos peixes. | 43 And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. |
| 44 Os que tinham comido dos pães eram cinco mil homens. | 44 Those who ate (of the loaves) were five thousand men. |
| 45 Imediatamente Jesus obrigou seus discípulos a embarcar, para chegarem primeiro que ele à outra banda do lago, a Betsaida, enquanto despedia o povo, | 45 Then he made his disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. |
| 46 Depois que os despediu, retirou-se a um monte a fazer oração. | 46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went off to the mountain to pray. |
| 47 Chegada a noite, encontrava-se a barca no meio do mar, e ele só em terra. | 47 When it was evening, the boat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore. |
| 48 Vendo-os cansados de remar, (porque o vento lhes era contrário), cerca da quarta vigília da noite foi ter com eles, andando sobre o mar; e fez menção de passar adiante. | 48 Then he saw that they were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them. |
| 49 Quando eles o viram caminhar sobre o mar, julgaram que era um fantasma e gritaram | 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. |
| 50 porque todos o viram e se assustaram. Mas ele falou-lhes logo e disse: "Tende confiança, sou eu, não temais." | 50 They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!" |
| 51 Subiu em seguida para a barca a ir ter com eles, e o vento cessou. Ficaram extremamente estupefactos, | 51 He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were (completely) astounded. |
| 52 pois não tinham dado conta do que se tinha passado com os pães; o seu coração estava obcecado. | 52 They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened. |
| 53 Tendo passado à outra banda, foram ao país de Genesaré, e lá aportaram. | 53 After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. |
| 54 Tendo desembarcado, logo o conheceram, | 54 As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. |
| 55 e, correndo por todo aquele país, começaram a trazer-lhe todos os doentes em leitos, onde sabiam que ele estava. | 55 They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. |
| 56 Em qualquer lugar a que chegava, nas aldeias, nas cidades ou nas herdades, punham os enfermos no meio das praças, e pediam-lhe que os deixasse tocar ao menos a orla do seu vestido. E todos os que o tocavam ficavam sãos. | 56 Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed. |
