Luke 8 (PORBR201)

1E aconteceu depois disso, que Jesus andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus; e com ele os doze,Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2e algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios;as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3e Joana, a mulher de Cuza, mordomo de Herodes; e Susana, e muitas outras, que o serviam com seus bens.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4E quando se ajuntou uma multidão, e vindo a ele de todas as cidades, disse por parábola:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5Saiu um semeador a semear sua semente; e quando semeava, caiu uma parte junto ao caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6E outra parte caiu sobre a pedra; e nascida, secou-se, porque não tinha umidade.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7E outra parte caiu entre espinhos, e nascendo com ela, os espinhos a sufocaram.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8E outra parte caiu em boa terra, e nascida, produziu fruto a cem por um. Depois que disse coisas, exclamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9E os seus discípulos lhe perguntaram: Que parábola é esta?Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Ele disse: A vós é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus; mas aos outros por parábolas, para que vendo, não vejam; e ouvindo, não entendam.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11Esta é, pois, a parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Os que estão junto ao caminho são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que não creiam nem se salvem.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13E os que estão sobre a pedra são os que, quando ouvem, recebem a palavra com alegria, mas esses não têm raiz, pois creem por algum tempo, mas no tempo da tentação se desviam.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14E o que caiu entre espinhos são os que ouviram, e indo, sufocam-se com as preocupações, e riquezas, e prazeres da vida, e não produzem bom fruto.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15E o que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, conservam-na num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto que permanece.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16E ninguém, quando acende uma lâmpada, cobre-a com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; em vez disso põe na luminária, para que os que entram vejam a luz.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Porque não há coisa oculta que não venha a se manifestar; nem coisa escondida que não venha a ser conhecida, e chegada à luz.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Portanto, prestai atenção a como ouvis; pois àquele que tiver lhe será dado; e àquele que não tiver, até o que lhe parece ter, dele será tirado.Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19E vieram a ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, mas não conseguiam chegar a ele por causa da multidão.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20E foi-lhe anunciado, dizendo: “Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão fora, e querem te ver”.He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Porém, ele lhes respondeu: “Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a praticam”.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22E aconteceu, num daqueles dias, que Jesus entrou em um barco com seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: “Passemos para o outro lado do lago”. E partiram.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23E enquanto navegavam, Jesus adormeceu; então desceu uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se de água , e estavam em perigo.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Então se aproximaram dele e o despertaram, dizendo: “Mestre, Mestre, estamos perecendo!” E ele se levantou, repreendeu o vento e as ondas da água; e pararam, e fez-se bonança.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25E disse-lhes: “Onde está a vossa fé?” Mas eles, temendo, admiravam-se, e diziam uns aos outros: “Quem é este, que manda até aos ventos, e à água, e lhe obedecem?”“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que é do lado oposto à Galileia.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27E quando ele desceu à terra, veio da cidade ao seu encontro um homem, que havia muito tempo que tinha demônios, e não andava vestido, nem habitava em casa nenhuma, mas sim, nos sepulcros.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Ele viu Jesus, então exclamou, prostrou-se diante dele, e disse com grande voz: “O que eu tenho contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes.”When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Porque ele havia mandado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois muitas vezes apoderava-se dele. E o mantinham preso com cadeias e grilhões; porém ele quebrava o que lhe prendia, e era conduzido pelo demônio aos desertos.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30E Jesus lhe perguntou: “Qual é teu nome?” E ele disse: “Legião” (porque muitos demônios tinham entrado nele).“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31E rogavam-lhe que não os mandasse ir para o abismo.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32E havia ali uma manada de muitos porcos, que pastavam no monte; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e ele lhes concedeu.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Os demônios saíram daquele homem e entraram nos porcos; e a manada se lançou de um precipício no lago e se afogou.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Quando os que cuidavam dos porcos viram o que havia acontecido, fugiram; então foram anunciar na cidade e nos campos.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35E saíram para ver o acontecido, e vieram até Jesus; e acharam ao homem de quem os demônios tinham saído, vestido e em pleno juízo, sentado aos pés de Jesus; e temeram.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como aquele endemoninhado havia sido liberto.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37E toda o povo da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles; porque foram tomados por grande temor. Então ele entrou no barco e voltou.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38E aquele homem, de quem os demônios tinham saído, rogou-lhe para que lhe permitisse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo:The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Volta para tua casa, e conta como foram grandes as coisas que Deus te fez”. Ele se foi, e pregou por toda a cidade, como foram grandes as coisas que Jesus lhe tinha feito.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40E aconteceu que, quando Jesus voltou, a multidão o recebeu; porque todos o estavam esperando.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41E eis que chegou um homem, cujo nome era Jairo, e era chefe da sinagoga. Então ele se prostrou aos pés de Jesus e rogou-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42porque tinha uma filha única, com doze anos de idade, que estava a ponto de morrer. E enquanto ele ia, as multidões o apertavam.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43E uma mulher que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e já tinha gastado todos os seus pertences com médicos, e não pôde ser curada por nenhum.including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44Ela se aproximou de Jesus por detrás, e tocou a borda de sua roupa; e logo o fluxo de seu sangue parou.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45E Jesus disse: “Quem me tocou?” Enquanto todos negavam, disse Pedro e os que com ele estavam: Mestre, as multidões te apertam e empurram, e dizes: Quem me tocou?“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Jesus disse: “Alguém me tocou, pois sei que poder saiu de mim”.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Então a mulher, vendo que não podia se esconder, veio tremendo, prostrou-se diante dele, e declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que o havia tocado, e como logo havia sarado.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48E ele lhe disse: “Tem bom ânimo, filha; a tua fé te sarou; vai em paz”.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Estando ele ainda falando, veio um da casa do chefe da sinagoga, que lhe disse: “Tua filha já está morta, não incomodes o Mestre.”While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Porém quando Jesus o ouviu, respondeu-lhe: “Não temas; crê somente, e ela será curada”.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51E quando entrou na casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, a não ser a Pedro, Tiago, João, e ao pai e à mãe da menina.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52E todos choravam e lamentavam por ela; mas ele disse: “Não choreis; ela não está morta, mas dorme”.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53E riam dele, porque sabiam que estava morta.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Porém ele, depois de expulsá-los todos, segurou a mão dela e clamou: “Levanta-te, menina”.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Então seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que dessem de comer a ela.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56E seus pais ficaram maravilhados, mas ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia acontecido.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
