Evangelho segundo São Lucas 23

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Levantou-se a sessão e conduziram Jesus diante de Pilatos,	1 And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate.
2 e puseram-se a acusá-lo: Temos encontrado este homem excitando o povo à revolta, proibindo pagar imposto ao imperador e dizendo-se Messias e rei.	2 And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.
3 Pilatos perguntou-lhe: És tu o rei dos judeus? Jesus respondeu: Sim.	3 And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.
4 Declarou Pilatos aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e ao povo: Eu não acho neste homem culpa alguma.	4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.
5 Mas eles insistiam fortemente: Ele revoluciona o povo ensinando por toda a Judéia, a começar da Galiléia até aqui.	5 But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 A estas palavras, Pilatos perguntou se ele era galileu.	6 But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?
7 E, quando soube que era da jurisdição de Herodes, enviou-o a Herodes, pois justamente naqueles dias se achava em Jerusalém.	7 And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.
8 Herodes alegrou-se muito em ver Jesus, pois de longo tempo desejava vê-lo, por ter ouvido falar dele muitas coisas, e esperava presenciar algum milagre operado por ele.	8 And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
9 Dirigiu-lhe muitas perguntas, mas Jesus nada respondeu.	9 And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.
10 Ali estavam os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os escribas, acusando-o com violência.	10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.
11 Herodes, com a sua guarda, tratou-o com desprezo, escarneceu dele, mandou revesti-lo de uma túnica branca e reenviou-o a Pilatos.	11 And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
12 Naquele mesmo dia, Pilatos e Herodes fizeram as pazes, pois antes eram inimigos um do outro.	12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
13 Pilatos convocou então os príncipes dos sacerdotes, os magistrados e o povo, e disse-lhes:	13 And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 Apresentastes-me este homem como agitador do povo, mas, interrogando-o eu diante de vós, não o achei culpado de nenhum dos crimes de que o acusais.	14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
15 Nem tampouco Herodes, pois no-lo devolveu. Portanto, ele nada fez que mereça a morte.	15 No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 Por isso, soltá-lo-ei depois de o castigar.	16 I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
17 {Acontecia que em cada festa ele era obrigado a soltar-lhes um preso.}	17 Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
18 Todo o povo gritou a uma voz: À morte com este, e solta-nos Barrabás.	18 But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 {Este homem fora lançado ao cárcere devido a uma revolta levantada na cidade, por causa de um homicídio.}	19 Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.
20 Pilatos, porém, querendo soltar Jesus, falou-lhes de novo,	20 And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
21 mas eles vociferavam: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o!	21 But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.
22 Pela terceira vez, Pilatos ainda interveio: Mas que mal fez ele, então? Não achei nele nada que mereça a morte; irei, portanto, castigá-lo e, depois, o soltarei.	22 And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.
23 Mas eles instavam, reclamando em altas vozes que fosse crucificado, e os seus clamores recrudesciam.	23 But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.
24 Pilatos pronunciou então a sentença que lhes satisfazia o desejo.	24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 Soltou-lhes aquele que eles reclamavam e que havia sido lançado ao cárcere por causa do homicídio e da revolta, e entregou Jesus à vontade deles.	25 And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26 Enquanto o conduziam, detiveram um certo Simão de Cirene, que voltava do campo, e impuseram-lhe a cruz para que a carregasse atrás de Jesus.	26 And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27 Seguia-o uma grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, que batiam no peito e o lamentavam.	27 And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
28 Voltando-se para elas, Jesus disse: Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis sobre mim, mas chorai sobre vós mesmas e sobre vossos filhos.	28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 Porque virão dias em que se dirá: Felizes as estéreis, os ventres que não geraram e os peitos que não amamentaram!	29 For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
30 Então dirão aos montes: Caí sobre nós! E aos outeiros: Cobri-nos!	30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.
31 Porque, se eles fazem isto ao lenho verde, que acontecerá ao seco?	31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
32 Eram conduzidos ao mesmo tempo dois malfeitores para serem mortos com Jesus.	32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
33 Chegados que foram ao lugar chamado Calvário, ali o crucificaram, como também os ladrões, um à direita e outro à esquerda.	33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 E Jesus dizia: Pai, perdoa-lhes; porque não sabem o que fazem. Eles dividiram as suas vestes e as sortearam.	34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
35 A multidão conservava-se lá e observava. Os príncipes dos sacerdotes escarneciam de Jesus, dizendo: Salvou a outros, que se salve a si próprio, se é o Cristo, o escolhido de Deus!	35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.
36 Do mesmo modo zombavam dele os soldados. Aproximavam-se dele, ofereciam-lhe vinagre e diziam:	36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 Se és o rei dos judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo.	37 And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 Por cima de sua cabeça pendia esta inscrição: Este é o rei dos judeus.	38 And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Um dos malfeitores, ali crucificados, blasfemava contra ele: Se és o Cristo, salva-te a ti mesmo e salva-nos a nós!	39 And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Mas o outro o repreendeu: Nem sequer temes a Deus, tu que sofres no mesmo suplício?	40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
41 Para nós isto é justo: recebemos o que mereceram os nossos crimes, mas este não fez mal algum.	41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
42 E acrescentou: Jesus, lembra-te de mim, quando tiveres entrado no teu Reino!	42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
43 Jesus respondeu-lhe: Em verdade te digo: hoje estarás comigo no paraíso.	43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 Era quase à hora sexta e em toda a terra houve trevas até a hora nona.	44 And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 Escureceu-se o sol e o véu do templo rasgou-se pelo meio.	45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 Jesus deu então um grande brado e disse: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito. E, dizendo isso, expirou.	46 And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
47 Vendo o centurião o que acontecia, deu glória a Deus e disse: Na verdade, este homem era um justo.	47 Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.
48 E toda a multidão dos que assistiam a este espetáculo e viam o que se passava, voltou batendo no peito.	48 And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.
49 Os amigos de Jesus, como também as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galiléia, conservavam-se a certa distância, e observavam estas coisas.	49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 Havia um homem, por nome José, membro do conselho, homem reto e justo.	50 And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,
51 Ele não havia concordado com a decisão dos outros nem com os atos deles. Originário de Arimatéia, cidade da Judéia, esperava ele o Reino de Deus.	51 (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings;) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.
52 Foi ter com Pilatos e lhe pediu o corpo de Jesus.	52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 Ele o desceu da cruz, envolveu-o num pano de linho e colocou-o num sepulcro, escavado na rocha, onde ainda ninguém havia sido depositado.	53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.
54 Era o dia da Preparação e já ia principiar o sábado.	54 And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.
55 As mulheres, que tinham vindo com Jesus da Galiléia, acompanharam José. Elas viram o túmulo e o modo como o corpo de Jesus ali fora depositado.	55 And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 Elas voltaram e prepararam aromas e bálsamos. No dia de sábado, observaram o preceito do repouso.	56 And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
