Evangelho segundo São Lucas 8

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Depois disso, Jesus andava pelas cidades e aldeias anunciando a boa nova do Reino de Deus.	1 And it came to pass afterwards, that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him:
2 Os Doze estavam com ele, como também algumas mulheres que tinham sido livradas de espíritos malignos e curadas de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual tinham saído sete demônios;	2 And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary who is called Magdalen, out of whom seven devils were gone forth,
3 Joana, mulher de Cuza, procurador de Herodes; Susana e muitas outras, que o assistiram com as suas posses.	3 And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.
4 Havia se reunido uma grande multidão: eram pessoas vindas de várias cidades para junto dele. Ele lhes disse esta parábola:	4 And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.
5 Saiu o semeador a semear a sua semente. E ao semear, parte da semente caiu à beira do caminho; foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram.	5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Outra caiu no pedregulho; e, tendo nascido, secou, por falta de umidade.	6 And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Outra caiu entre os espinhos; cresceram com ela os espinhos, e sufocaram-na.	7 And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.
8 Outra, porém, caiu em terra boa; tendo crescido, produziu fruto cem por um. Dito isto, Jesus acrescentou alteando a voz: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça!	8 And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Os seus discípulos perguntaram-lhe a significação desta parábola.	9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 Ele respondeu: A vós é concedido conhecer os mistérios do Reino de Deus, mas aos outros se lhes fala por parábolas; de forma que vendo não vejam, e ouvindo não entendam.	10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.
11 Eis o que significa esta parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus.	11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Os que estão à beira do caminho são aqueles que ouvem; mas depois vem o demônio e lhes tira a palavra do coração, para que não creiam nem se salvem.	12 And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.
13 Aqueles que a recebem em solo pedregoso são os ouvintes da palavra de Deus que a acolhem com alegria; mas não têm raiz, porque crêem até certo tempo, e na hora da provação a abandonam.	13 Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.
14 A que caiu entre os espinhos, estes são os que ouvem a palavra, mas prosseguindo o caminho, são sufocados pelos cuidados, riquezas e prazeres da vida, e assim os seus frutos não amadurecem.	14 And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.
15 A que caiu na terra boa são os que ouvem a palavra com coração reto e bom, retêm-na e dão fruto pela perseverança.	15 But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.
16 Ninguém acende uma lâmpada e a cobre com um vaso ou a põe debaixo da cama; mas a põe sobre um castiçal, para iluminar os que entram.	16 Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não acabe por se manifestar, nem secreta que não venha a ser descoberta.	17 For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Vede, pois, como é que ouvis. Porque ao que tiver, lhe será dado; e ao que não tiver, até aquilo que julga ter lhe será tirado.	18 Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath, shall be taken away from him.
19 A mãe e os irmãos de Jesus foram procurá-lo, mas não podiam chegar-se a ele por causa da multidão.	19 And his mother and brethren came unto him; and they could not come at him for the crowd.
20 Foi-lhe avisado: Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão lá fora e desejam ver-te.	20 And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 Ele lhes disse: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são estes, que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a observam.	21 Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Num daqueles dias ele subiu com os seus discípulos a uma barca. Disse ele: Passemos à outra margem do lago. E eles partiram.	22 And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Durante a travessia, Jesus adormeceu. Desabou então uma tempestade de vento sobre o lago. A barca enchia-se de água, e eles se achavam em perigo.	23 And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.
24 Aproximaram-se dele então e o despertaram com este grito: Mestre, Mestre! Nós estamos perecendo! Levantou-se ele e ordenou aos ventos e à fúria da água que se acalmassem; e se acalmaram e logo veio a bonança.	24 And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Perguntou-lhes, então: Onde está a vossa fé? Eles, cheios de respeito e de profunda admiração, diziam uns aos outros: Quem é este, a quem os ventos e o mar obedecem?	25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?
26 Navegaram para a região dos gerasenos, que está defronte da Galiléia.	26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.
27 Mal saltou em terra, veio-lhe ao encontro um homem dessa região, possuído de muitos demônios; há muito tempo não se vestia nem parava em casa, mas habitava no cemitério.	27 And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.
28 Ao ver Jesus, prostrou-se diante dele e gritou em alta voz: Por que te ocupas de mim, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te, não me atormentes!	28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 Porque Jesus ordenara ao espírito imundo que saísse do homem. Pois há muito tempo que se apoderara dele, e guardavam-no preso em cadeias e com grilhões nos pés, mas ele rompia as cadeias e era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos.	29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.
30 Jesus perguntou-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? Ele respondeu: Legião! {Porque eram muitos os demônios que nele se ocultavam.}	30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.
31 E pediam-lhe que não os mandasse ir para o abismo.	31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32 Ora, andava ali pastando no monte uma grande manada de porcos; rogaram-lhe os demônios que lhes permitisse entrar neles. Ele permitiu.	32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Saíram, pois, os demônios do homem e entraram nos porcos; e a manada de porcos precipitou-se, pelo despenhadeiro, impetuosamente no lago e afogou-se.	33 The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.
34 Quando aqueles que os guardavam viram o acontecido, fugiram e foram contá-lo na cidade e pelo campo.	34 Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.
35 Saíram eles, pois, a ver o que havia ocorrido. Chegaram a Jesus e acharam a seus pés, sentado, vestido e calmo, o homem de quem haviam sido expulsos os demônios; e tomados de medo,	35 And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 ouviram das testemunhas a narração desse exorcismo.	36 And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 Então todo o povo da região dos gerasenos rogou a Jesus que se retirasse deles, pois estavam possuídos de grande temor. Jesus subiu à barca, para regressar.	37 And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.
38 Nesse momento, pedia-lhe o homem, de quem tinham saído os demônios, para ficar com ele. Mas Jesus despediu-o, dizendo:	38 Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
39 Volta para casa, e conta quanto Deus te fez. E ele se foi, publicando por toda a cidade essas grandes coisas...	39 Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 À sua volta, Jesus foi recebido por uma multidão que o esperava.	40 And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 O chefe da sinagoga, chamado Jairo, foi ao seu encontro. Lançou-se a seus pés e rogou-lhe que fosse à sua casa,	41 And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house:
42 porque tinha uma filha única, de uns doze anos, que estava para morrer. Jesus dirigiu-se para lá, comprimido pelo povo.	42 For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.
43 Ora, uma mulher que padecia dum fluxo de sangue havia doze anos, e tinha gasto com médicos todos os seus bens, sem que nenhum a pudesse curar,	43 And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any.
44 aproximou-se dele por detrás e tocou-lhe a orla do manto; e no mesmo instante lhe parou o fluxo de sangue.	44 She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stopped.
45 Jesus perguntou: Quem foi que me tocou? Como todos negassem, Pedro e os que com ele estavam disseram: Mestre, a multidão te aperta de todos os lados...	45 And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
46 Jesus replicou: Alguém me tocou, porque percebi sair de mim uma força.	46 And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me.
47 A mulher viu-se descoberta e foi tremendo e prostrou-se aos seus pés; e declarou diante de todo o povo o motivo por que o havia tocado, e como logo ficara curada.	47 And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.
48 Jesus disse-lhe: Minha filha, tua fé te salvou; vai em paz.	48 But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.
49 Enquanto ainda falava, veio alguém e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: Tua filha acaba de morrer; não incomodes mais o Mestre.	49 As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.
50 Mas Jesus o ouviu e disse a Jairo: Não temas; crê somente e ela será salva.	50 And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.
51 Quando Jesus chegou à casa, não deixou ninguém entrar com ele, senão Pedro, Tiago, João com o pai e a mãe da menina.	51 And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.
52 Todos, entretanto, choravam e se lamentavam. Mas Jesus disse: Não choreis; a menina não morreu, mas dorme.	52 And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 Zombavam dele, pois sabiam bem que estava morta.	53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Mas segurando ele a mão dela, disse em alta voz: Menina, levanta-te!	54 But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.
55 Voltou-lhe a vida e ela levantou-se imediatamente. Jesus mandou que lhe dessem de comer.	55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat.
56 Seus pais ficaram tomados de pasmo; Jesus ordenou-lhes que não contassem a pessoa alguma o que se tinha passado.	56 And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.
