SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 No ano décimo quinto do reinado do imperador Tibério, sendo Pôncio Pilatos governador da Judéia, Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, seu irmão Filipe tetrarca da Ituréia e da província de Traconites, e Lisânias tetrarca da Abilina,	1 Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 sendo sumos sacerdotes Anás e Caifás, veio a palavra do Senhor no deserto a João, filho de Zacarias.	2 under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Ele percorria toda a região do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão dos pecados,	3 And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 como está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaías {40,3ss.}: Uma voz clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas.	4 just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
5 Todo vale será aterrado, e todo monte e outeiro serão arrasados; tornar-se-á direito o que estiver torto, e os caminhos escabrosos serão aplainados.	5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
6 Todo homem verá a salvação de Deus.	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Dizia, pois, ao povo que vinha para ser batizado por ele: Raça de víboras! Quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira iminente?	7 Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?
8 Fazei, pois, uma conversão realmente frutuosa e não comeceis a dizer: Temos Abraão por pai. Pois vos digo: Deus tem poder para destas pedras suscitar filhos a Abraão.	8 So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
9 O machado já está posto à raiz das árvores. E toda árvore que não der fruto bom será cortada e lançada ao fogo.	9 For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”
10 Perguntava-lhe a multidão: Que devemos fazer?	10 And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
11 Ele respondia: Quem tem duas túnicas dê uma ao que não tem; e quem tem o que comer, faça o mesmo.	11 But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”
12 Também publicanos vieram para ser batizados, e perguntaram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?	12 Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 Ele lhes respondeu: Não exijais mais do que vos foi ordenado.	13 But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”
14 Do mesmo modo, os soldados lhe perguntavam: E nós, que devemos fazer? Respondeu-lhes: Não pratiqueis violência nem defraudeis a ninguém, e contentai-vos com o vosso soldo.	14 Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
15 Ora, como o povo estivesse na expectativa, e como todos perguntassem em seus corações se talvez João fosse o Cristo,	15 Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.
16 ele tomou a palavra, dizendo a todos: Eu vos batizo na água, mas eis que vem outro mais poderoso do que eu, a quem não sou digno de lhe desatar a correia das sandálias; ele vos batizará no Espírito Santo e no fogo.	16 John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
17 Ele tem a pá na mão e limpará a sua eira, e recolherá o trigo ao seu celeiro, mas queimará as palhas num fogo inextinguível.	17 His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
18 É assim que ele anunciava ao povo a boa nova, e dirigia-lhe ainda muitas outras exortações.	18 Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.
19 Mas Herodes, o tetrarca, repreendido por ele por causa de Herodíades, mulher de seu irmão, e por causa de todos os crimes que praticara,	19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,
20 acrescentou a todos eles também este: encerrou João no cárcere.	20 added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.
21 Quando todo o povo ia sendo batizado, também Jesus o foi. E estando ele a orar, o céu se abriu	21 Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.
22 e o Espírito Santo desceu sobre ele em forma corpórea, como uma pomba; e veio do céu uma voz: Tu és o meu Filho bem-amado; em ti ponho minha afeição.	22 And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”
