| 1 Convocados os doze ( Apóstolos ) deu-lhes poder e autoridade sobre todos os demónios; e para curar as doenças. | 1 He cal ed the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases, |
| 2 Enviou-os a pregar o reino de Deus, e a curar os doentes. | 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. |
| 3 Disse-lhes : "Não leveis nada para o caminho, nem bastão, nem alforge, nem pão, nem dinheiro, nem leveis duas túnicas. | 3 He said to them, 'Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; anddo not have a spare tunic. |
| 4 Em qualquer casa, em que entrardes, ficai lá, e ( não ) saiais dela até à vossa partida. | 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there. |
| 5 Quando quaisquer vos não receberem, ao sair dessa cidade, sacudi até o pó dos vossos pés, em testemunho contra eles." | 5 As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet asevidence against them.' |
| 6 Tendo eles partido, andavam de aldeia em aldeia pregando o Evangelho, e fazendo curas por toda a parte. | 6 So they set out and went from village to vil age proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere. |
| 7 Herodes tetrarca ouviu falar de tudo o que se passava, e não sabia que pensar, porque uns diziam: | 7 Meanwhile Herod the tetrarch had heard about al that was going on; and he was puzzled, becausesome people were saying that John had risen from the dead, |
| 8 "É João que ressuscitou dos mortos"; outros: "É Elias que apareceu"; outros: "É um dos antigos profetas, que ressuscitou." | 8 others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life. |
| 9 Herodes disse: "Eu mandei degolar João. Quem é, pois, este de quem ouço tais coisas?" E buscava ocasião de o ver. | 9 But Herod said, 'John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?' And he was anxiousto see him. |
| 10 Tendo voltado os Apóstolos, contaram-lhe tudo o que tinham feito. Ele, tomando-os consigo, retirou-se aparte a um lugar do território de Betsaida. | 10 On their return the apostles gave him an account of al they had done. Then he took them with him andwithdrew towards a town called Bethsaida where they could be by themselves. |
| 11 Sabendo isto, as multidões foram-no seguindo. E as recebeu, falou-lhes do reino de Deus e sarou os que necessitavam de cura. | 11 But the crowds got to know and they went after him. He made them welcome and talked to them aboutthe kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing. |
| 12 Ora o dia começava a declinar. Aproximando-se dele os doze, disseram-lhe: "Despede as multidões, para que, indo pelas aldeias e herdades circunvizinhas, se alberguem e encontrem que comer, porque aqui estamos num lugar deserto." | 12 It was late afternoon when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they cango to the vil ages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here.' |
| 13 Ele respondeu-Ihes: "Dai-lhes vós de comer." Eles disseram: "Não temos mais do que cinco pães e dois peixes, a não ser que vamos comprar mantimento para toda esta multidão." | 13 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five loavesand two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for al these people.' |
| 14 Pois eram quase cinco mil homens. Então disse a seus discípulos: "Mandai-os sentar divididos em ranchos de cinquenta." | 14 For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in parties ofabout fifty.' |
| 15 Eles assim o executaram, e mandaram-nos sentar a todos. | 15 They did so and made them al sit down. |
| 16 Tendo tomado os cinco pães e os dois peixes, levantou os olhos ao céu, abençoou-os, partiu-os e distribuiu-os aos seus discípulos, para que os servissem à multidão. | 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing overthem; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd. |
| 17 Comeram todos, e ficaram saciados. E levantaram do que lhes sobejou doze cestos de fragmentos. | 17 They al ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were col ected they fil ed twelvebaskets. |
| 18 Aconteceu que, estando só orando, se encontravam com ele os seus discípulos. Jesus interrogou-os: "Quem dizem as multidões que sou eu?" | 18 Now it happened that he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question tothem, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' |
| 19 Responderam e disseram: "Uns dizem que João Baptista, outros que Elias, outros que ressuscitou um dos antigos profetas." | 19 And they answered, 'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancientprophets come back to life.' |
| 20 Ele diese-lhes: "E vós quem dizeis que sou eu?" Pedro, respondendo, disse: "O Cristo de Deus." | 20 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' hesaid. |
| 21 Mas ele, com seu tom severo, mandou que o não dissessem a ninguém, | 21 But he gave them strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone. |
| 22 acrescentando: "E’ necessário que o Filho do homem padeça muitas coisas, que seja rejeitado pelos anciães, pelos príncipes doe sacerdotes e pelos escribas, que seja morto, e ressuscite ao terceiro dia. | 22 He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priestsand scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.' |
| 23 Depois, dirigindo-se a todos: "Se alguém quer vir após de mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome a sua cruz todos os dias, e siga-me. | 23 Then, speaking to al , he said, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, let him renounce himself andtake up his cross every day and fol ow me. |
| 24 Porque o que quiser salvar a sua vida (abandonando-me), a perderá; e quem perder a sua vida por causa de mim, salvá-la-á. | 24 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, wil save it. |
| 25 Que aproveita o homem ganhar todo o mundo, se se perde a si mesmo, e se faz dano a si? | 25 What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self? |
| 26 Porque quem se envergonhar de mim e das minhas palavras, também o Filho do homem se envergonhará dele, quando vier na sua majestade, e na de seu Pai e dos santos anjos. | 26 For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man wil be ashamed when hecomes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. |
| 27 Digo-vos na verdade que estão aqui alguns presentes que não morrerão, sem que vejam o reino de Deus." | 27 'I tel you truly, there are some standing here who wil not taste death before they see the kingdom ofGod.' |
| 28 Cerca de oito dias depois destas palavras, tomou consigo Pedro, Tiago e João, e subiu a um monte para orar. | 28 Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went upthe mountain to pray. |
| 29 Enquanto orava, tornou-se todo outro o seu rosto; o seu vestido tornou-se branco ( e ) resplandecente. | 29 And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing becamesparkling white. |
| 30 E eis que dois homens falavam com ele: Moisés e Elias, | 30 And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah |
| 31 os quais apareceram cheios de majestade, e falavam da morte que ele devia sofrer em Jerusalém. | 31 appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. |
| 32 Entretanto Pedro e os que estavam com ele tinham-se deixado oprimir de sono. Mas, despertando, viram a majestade de Jesus, e os dois varões que estavam com ele. | 32 Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two menstanding with him. |
| 33 Enquanto estes se separavam dele, Pedro disse a Jesus: "Mestre, é bom para nós estar aqui; façamos três tendas, uma para ti, uma para Moisés, e uma para Elias", não sabendo o que dizia. | 33 As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let usmake three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying. |
| 34 Estando ele ainda a falar, formou-se uma nuvem, que os envolveu; e tiveram medo, quando os viram entrar na nuvem. | 34 As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into thecloud the disciples were afraid. |
| 35 Então saiu uma voz da nuvem, dizendo: "Este é o meu filho dilecto, ouvi-o." | 35 And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.' |
| 36 Ao soar aquela voz, Jesus ficou só. Eles calaram-se, e a ninguém disseram naqueles dias nada do que tinham visto. | 36 And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time,told no one what they had seen. |
| 37 Sucedeu no dia seguinte que, descendo eles do monte, lhes saiu ao encontro uma grande multidão. | 37 Now it happened that on the fol owing day when they were coming down from the mountain a largecrowd came to meet him. |
| 38 E eis que um homem do meio da multidão clamou; "Mestre, rogo-te que ponhas os olhos em meu filho, porque é o único que tenho. | 38 And suddenly a man in the crowd cried out. 'Master,' he said, 'I implore you to look at my son: he is myonly child. |
| 39 Um espírito maligno se apodera dele e súbitamente dá gritos, e ( o lança por terra ), o agita com violência, fazendo-o espumar, e apenas o larga depois de o ter dilacerado. | 39 A spirit wil suddenly take hold of him, and all at once it gives a sudden cry and throws the boy intoconvulsions with foaming at the mouth; it is slow to leave him, but when it does, it leaves the boy worn out. |
| 40 Pedi a teus discípulos que o expelissem, mas eles não puderam." | 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, and they could not.' |
| 41 Jesus respondeu: "O ’ geração incrédula e perversa! Até quando estarei convosco e vos sofrerei? Traz cá o teu filho." | 41 In reply Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be among you andput up with you? Bring your son here.' |
| 42 Quando este se aproximava, o demônio lançou-o por terra, e agitou-o com violência. Mas Jesus ameaçou o espírito imundo, sarou o menino, e restituiu-o a seu pai. | 42 Even while the boy was coming, the devil threw him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebukedthe unclean spirit and cured the boy and gave him back to his father, |
| 43 E todos pasmavam da grandeza de Deus. Enquanto todos admiravam as coisas que ele fazia, Jesus disse aos seus discípulos; | 43 and everyone was awestruck by the greatness of God. But while everyone was ful of admiration for alhe did, he said to his disciples, |
| 44 "Ponde nos vossos corações estas palavras: O Filho do homem está para ser entregue nas mãos dos homens." | 44 'For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be deliveredinto the power of men.' |
| 45 Eles, porém, não entendiam esta linguagem ; era-lhes tão obscura que não compreendiam; e tinham medo de o interrogar acerca dela. | 45 But they did not understand what he said; it was hidden from them so that they should not see themeaning of it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. |
| 46 Começaram a discutir entre si sobre qual deles era o maior. | 46 An argument started between them about which of them was the greatest. |
| 47 Jesus, vendo os pensamentos do seu coração, tomou pela mão um menino, pô-lo junto a si, | 47 Jesus knew what thoughts were going through their minds, and he took a little child whom he set byhis side |
| 48 e disse-lhes: "Todo o que receber este menino em meu nome, a mim recebe; e todo o que me receber, recebe aquele que me enviou. Porque aquele que entre vós todos é o menor, esse é o maior." | 48 and then he said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; andanyone who welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. The least among you all is the one who is thegreatest.' |
| 49 João, tomando a palavra, disse: "Mestre, nós vimos um que expelia os demônios em teu nome, e lho proibimos, porque não anda connosco." | 49 John spoke up. 'Master,' he said, 'we saw someone driving out devils in your name, and because he isnot with us we tried to stop him.' |
| 50 Jesus respondeu-lhe: "Não lho proibais, porque quem não é contra vós, é por vós." | 50 But Jesus said to him, 'You must not stop him: anyone who is not against you is for you.' |
| 51 Aconteceu que, aproximando-se o tempo da sua partida deste mundo, dirigiu-se resolutamente para Jerusalém, | 51 Now it happened that as the time drew near for him to be taken up, he resolutely turned his facetowards Jerusalem |
| 52 e enviou adiante de si mensageiros, os quais entraram numa aldeia de Samaritanos para lhe prepararem pousada. | 52 and sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan vil age to makepreparations for him, |
| 53 Não o receberam, por dar mostras de que ia para Jerusalém. | 53 but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem. |
| 54 Vendo isto os seus discípulos Tiago e João, disseram : "Senhor, queres tu que digamos que desça fogo do céu, que os consuma?" | 54 Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, 'Lord, do you want us to cal down fire from heaven toburn them up?' |
| 55 Ele, porém, voltando-se para eles, repreendeu-os: "Vós não sabeis de que espírito sois. | 55 But he turned and rebuked them, |
| 56 O Filho do homem não veio para perder as vidas dos homens, mas para as salvar." E foram para outra povoação. | 56 and they went on to another village. |
| 57 Indo eles pelo caminho, veio um homem que lhe disse: "Seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores." | 57 As they travel ed along they met a man on the road who said to him, 'I wil fol ow you wherever you go.' |
| 58 Jesus respondeu-lhe: "As raposas têm suas covas, as aves do céu têm seus ninhos, porém o Filho do homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça." | 58 Jesus answered, 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hasnowhere to lay his head.' |
| 59 A um outro disse: "Segue-me." Mas ele disse: "Senhor, permite-me que eu vá primeiro sepultar meu pai." | 59 Another to whom he said, 'Fol ow me,' replied, 'Let me go and bury my father first.' |
| 60 Mas Jesus replicou: "Deixa que os mortos sepultem os seus mortos; tu vai anunciar o reino de Deus." | 60 But he answered, 'Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of thekingdom of God.' |
| 61 Um outro disse-lhe: "Eu, Senhor, seguir-te-ei, mas permite que vá primeiro dizer adeus aos de minha casa." | 61 Another said, 'I wil fol ow you, sir, but first let me go and say good -- bye to my people at home.' |
| 62 Jesus respondeu-lhe; "Ninguém que, depois de ter metido a sua mão ao arado, olha para trás, é apto para o reino de Deus. | 62 Jesus said to him, 'Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom ofGod.' |
