2 ULB Isto foi feito, pela primeira vez, quando Quirino era o governador da Síria. BSB BSB: This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 ULB Então, todos foram à sua cidade natal para serem registrados no censo. BSB BSB: And everyone went to his own town to register.
5 ULB José foi com sua noiva Maria para se registrarem. Ela estava grávida. BSB BSB: He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
6 ULB Aconteceu que, chegando em Belém, era o momento de Maria ter o Bebê. BSB BSB: While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
7 ULB Então ela deu à luz o seu filho, seu Primogênito, e ela O envolveu em panos. Depois, ela O colocou em uma manjedoura, pois não havia lugar para eles na hospedaria. BSB BSB: And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
9 ULB Um anjo do Senhor apareceu para eles e a glória do Senhor brilhava em torno deles; e todos ficaram tomados de grande temor. BSB BSB: Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 ULB Então, o anjo lhes disse: "Não temais, pois vos trago boas novas de grande alegria para todo o povo. BSB BSB: But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
11 ULB Hoje, na cidade de Davi, vos nasceu o Salvador. Ele é Cristo, o Senhor! BSB BSB: Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
12 ULB Ireis reconhecê-Lo através deste sinal: Ele estará envolvido em panos e deitado em uma manjedoura". BSB BSB: And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 ULB De repente, uma grande quantidade de anjos, vindos do céu, apareceu e se juntou ao outro anjo louvando a Deus e dizendo: BSB BSB: And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
14 ULB “Glória a Deus nas alturas e que haja paz na terra entre o povo o qual Deus quer bem”. BSB BSB: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15 ULB Após os anjos voltarem ao céu os pastores disseram entre si: “Vamos imediatamente para Belém ver esta coisa maravilhosa que aconteceu e o Senhor nos permitiu saber”. BSB BSB: When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 ULB Foram apressadamente e lá encontraram José e Maria em um estábulo. E viram o Bebê deitado na manjedoura. BSB BSB: So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
17 ULB Após verem isso, eles contaram às pessoas o que foi dito a eles sobre o Bebê. BSB BSB: After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
18 ULB Todos os que se encontraram com os pastores ficaram maravilhados com o que ouviam. BSB BSB: And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19 ULB Mas, Maria guardava tudo o que havia ouvido e conservava isso em seu coração. BSB BSB: But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 ULB Os pastores retornaram glorificando e louvando a Deus, pois tudo o que ouviram e viram era exatamente como o anjo lhes dissera. BSB BSB: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
22 ULB Quando o número de dias da purificação deles se passaram, de acordo com a Lei de Moisés, José e Maria levaram o Bebê até o templo, em Jerusalém, para apresentá-Lo ao Senhor. BSB BSB: And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 ULB Pois estava escrito na Lei do Senhor: “Todo menino nascido primogênito deve ser santificado ao Senhor”. BSB BSB: (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24 ULB De acordo com a Lei do Senhor, eles também deveriam ofertar “duas rolinhas ou dois pombinhos” como sacrifício. BSB BSB: and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 ULB Eis que havia em Jerusalém um homem chamado Simeão. Ele era justo e piedoso. Ele estava esperando a consolação de Israel e o Espírito Santo estava sobre ele. BSB BSB: Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 ULB O Espírito Santo revelou a ele que não morreria antes que visse o Cristo prometido por Deus. BSB BSB: The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 ULB Guiado pelo Espírito, Simeão entrou no templo. José e Maria trouxeram o Bebê, Jesus, para cumprir os costumes requeridos na Lei. BSB BSB: Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
28 ULB Simeão recebeu Jesus em Seus braços e louvou a Deus dizendo: BSB BSB: Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29 ULB “Senhor, permita agora que teu servo vá em paz, pois se cumpriu a Tua promessa. BSB BSB: “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30 ULB Pois meus olhos viram a Tua salvação, BSB BSB: For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 ULB a qual Tu preparaste diante de todos os povos; BSB BSB: which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 ULB Luz para revelação aos gentios, e para glória do Teu povo de Israel”. BSB BSB: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33 ULB Os pais do Bebê estavam maravilhados com as coisas que eram ditas a respeito Dele. BSB BSB: The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
34 ULB Simeão os abençoou e disse a Maria, Sua mãe: “Eis que este Bebê está destinado tanto para ruína como para levantamento de muitos em Israel e para ser alvo de contradição BSB BSB: Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 ULB (também uma espada traspassará a tua própria alma), de modo que os pensamentos de muitos corações sejam revelados. BSB BSB: so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
36 ULB Uma profetisa chamada Ana também estava lá. Ela era filha de Fanuel, da tribo de Aser. Ela era idosa, e viveu com seu marido por sete anos desde a sua virgindade, BSB BSB: There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
37 ULB e depois tornou-se viúva e assim permaneceu por oitenta e quatro anos. Ela nunca deixou o templo, adorando a Deus continuamente com jejum e oração, noite e dia. BSB BSB: and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38 ULB Naquele mesmo momento, ela começou a agradecer a Deus e falou sobre o menino a todos que estavam esperando pela redenção de Jerusalém. BSB BSB: Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
40 ULB E o Menino crescia em estatura, tornando-se forte, enchendo-Se de sabedoria, e a graça de Deus estava sobre Ele. BSB BSB: And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
42 ULB Quando Jesus completou doze anos, eles foram para a festa, como era de costume. BSB BSB: And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43 ULB Terminados os dias de celebração, ao regressarem, permaneceu o menino Jesus em Jerusalém e Seus pais não O souberam, BSB BSB: When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
44 ULB pois pensaram que estava na caravana que viajava com eles. Após um dia inteiro de jornada, eles começaram a procurá-Lo entre os familiares e amigos. BSB BSB: Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45 ULB Quando eles não O encontraram, eles voltaram para Jerusalém e começaram a procurá-Lo por lá. BSB BSB: When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46 ULB Após três dias, eles O encontraram no templo, sentado entre os mestres, ouvindo-os com atenção e fazendo perguntas. BSB BSB: Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 ULB Todos os que O ouviam ficavam maravilhados com Seu entendimento e com Suas respostas. BSB BSB: And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48 ULB Quando eles viram Jesus, ficaram atônitos. Então Sua mãe disse-Lle: “Por que fizeste assim conosco? Eis que Teu pai e eu estivemos aflitos procurando por Ti”. BSB BSB: When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
49 ULB E Jesus respondeu: “Por que vós estáveis procurando por Mim? Vós não sabíeis que Eu devo estar na casa do Meu Pai?”. BSB BSB: “Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 ULB Mas eles não entenderam o que Jesus queria dizer com essas palavras. BSB BSB: But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
52 ULB Mas Jesus continuava a crescer em sabedoria, estatura e graça para com Deus e as pessoas. BSB BSB: And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
