1 A nd Jesus said to them, Truly and solemnly I say to you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death before they see the kingdom of God come in power.

Disse-lhes mais: Em verdade vos digo que, dos que aqui estão, alguns há que de modo nenhum provarão a morte até que vejam o reino de Deus já chegando com poder.

2 S ix days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them and became resplendent with divine brightness.

Seis dias depois tomou Jesus consigo a Pedro, a Tiago, e a João, e os levou ã parte sós, a um alto monte; e foi transfigurado diante deles;

3 A nd His garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller (cloth dresser, launderer) on earth could bleach them.

as suas vestes tornaram-se resplandecentes, extremamente brancas, tais como nenhum lavandeiro sobre a terra as poderia branquear.

4 A nd Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were holding conversation with Jesus.

E apareceu-lhes Elias com Moisés, e falavam com Jesus.

5 A nd Peter took up the conversation, saying, Master, it is good and suitable and beautiful for us to be here. Let us make three booths (tents)—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

Pedro, tomando a palavra, disse a Jesus: Mestre, bom é estarmos aqui; faça-mos, pois, três cabanas, uma para ti, outra para Moisés, e outra para Elias.

6 F or he did not know what to say, for they were in a violent fright ( aghast with dread).

Pois não sabia o que havia de dizer, porque ficaram atemorizados.

7 A nd a cloud threw a shadow upon them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the '> most dearworthy] Beloved One. Be constantly listening to and obeying Him!

Nisto veio uma nuvem que os cobriu, e dela saiu uma voz que dizia: Este é o meu Filho amado; a ele ouvi.

8 A nd looking around, they suddenly no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus only.

De repente, tendo olhado em redor, não viram mais a ninguém consigo, senão só a Jesus.

9 A nd as they were coming back down the mountain, He admonished and expressly ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man should rise from among the dead.

Enquanto desciam do monte, ordenou-lhes que a ninguém contassem o que tinham visto, até que o Filho do homem ressurgisse dentre os mortos.

10 S o they carefully and faithfully kept the matter to themselves, questioning and disputing with one another about what rising from among the dead meant.

E eles guardaram o caso em segredo, indagando entre si o que seria o ressurgir dentre os mortos.

11 A nd they asked Him, Why do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?

Então lhe perguntaram: Por que dizem os escribas que é necessário que Elias venha primeiro?

12 A nd He said to them, Elijah, it is true, does come first to restore all things and set them to rights. And how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be utterly despised and be treated with contempt and rejected?

Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Na verdade Elias havia de vir primeiro, a restaurar todas as coisas; e como é que está escrito acerca do Filho do homem que ele deva padecer muito a ser aviltado?

13 B ut I tell you that Elijah has already come, and did to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.

Digo-vos, porém, que Elias já veio, e fizeram-lhe tudo quanto quiseram, como dele está escrito.

14 A nd when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes questioning and disputing with them.

Quando chegaram aonde estavam os discípulos, viram ao redor deles uma grande multidão, e alguns escribas a discutirem com eles.

15 A nd immediately all the crowd, when they saw Jesus '> returning from the holy mount, His face and person yet glistening], they were greatly amazed and ran up to Him greeted Him.

E logo toda a multidão, vendo a Jesus, ficou grandemente surpreendida; e correndo todos para ele, o saudavam.

16 A nd He asked them, About what are you questioning and discussing with them?

Perguntou ele aos escribas: Que é que discutis com eles?

17 A nd one of the throng replied to Him, Teacher, I brought my son to You, for he has a dumb spirit.

Respondeu-lhe um dentre a multidão: Mestre, eu te trouxe meu filho, que tem um espírito mudo;

18 A nd wherever it lays hold of him, it dashes him down and convulses him, and he foams and grinds his teeth, and he '> falls into a motionless stupor and] is wasting away. And I asked Your disciples to drive it out, and they were not able.

e este, onde quer que o apanha, convulsiona-o, de modo que ele espuma, range os dentes, e vai definhando; e eu pedi aos teus discípulos que o expulsassem, e não puderam.

19 A nd He answered them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to Me.

Ao que Jesus lhes respondeu: Ó geração incrédula! até quando estarei convosco? até quando vos hei de suportar? Trazei-mo.

20 S o they brought to Him, and when the spirit saw Him, at once it completely convulsed the boy, and he fell to the ground and kept rolling about, foaming.

Então lho trouxeram; e quando ele viu a Jesus, o espírito imediatamente o convulsionou; e o endemoninhado, caindo por terra, revolvia-se espumando.

21 A nd asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy.

E perguntou Jesus ao pai dele: Há quanto tempo sucede-lhe isto? Respondeu ele: Desde a infância;

22 A nd it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us.

e muitas vezes o tem lançado no fogo, e na água, para o destruir; mas se podes fazer alguma coisa, tem compaixão de nós e ajuda-nos.

23 A nd Jesus said,, If You can do anything? all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

Ao que lhe disse Jesus: Se podes! - tudo é possível ao que crê.

24 A t once the father of the boy gave '> eager, piercing, inarticulate] cry with tears, and he said, Lord, I believe! help my weakness of faith!

Imediatamente o pai do menino, clamando, disse: Creio! Ajuda a minha incredulidade.

25 B ut when Jesus noticed that a crowd came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.

E Jesus, vendo que a multidão, correndo, se aglomerava, repreendeu o espírito imundo, dizendo: Espírito mudo e surdo, eu te ordeno: Sai dele, e nunca mais entres nele.

26 A nd after giving a shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.

E ele, gritando, e agitando-o muito, saiu; e ficou o menino como morto, de modo que a maior parte dizia: Morreu.

27 B ut Jesus took '> a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.

Mas Jesus, tomando-o pela mão, o ergueu; e ele ficou em pé.

28 A nd when He had gone indoors, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we drive it out?

E quando entrou em casa, seus discípulos lhe perguntaram ã parte: Por que não pudemos nós expulsá-lo?

29 A nd He replied to them, This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting.

Respondeu-lhes: Esta casta não sai de modo algum, salvo ã força de oração

30 T hey went on from there and passed along through Galilee. And He did not wish to have anyone know it,

Depois, tendo partido dali, passavam pela Galiléia, e ele não queria que ninguém o soubesse;

31 F or He was teaching His disciples. He said to them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and when He has been killed, after three days He will rise '> from death].

porque ensinava a seus discípulos, e lhes dizia: O Filho do homem será entregue nas mãos dos homens, que o matarão; e morto ele, depois de três dias ressurgirá.

32 B ut they did not comprehend what He was saying, and they were afraid to ask Him.

Mas eles não entendiam esta palavra, e temiam interrogá-lo.

33 A nd they arrived at Capernaum; and when in the house, He asked them, What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?

Chegaram a Cafarnaum. E estando ele em casa, perguntou-lhes: Que estáveis discutindo pelo caminho?

34 B ut they kept still, for on the road they had discussed and disputed with one another as to who was the greatest.

Mas eles se calaram, porque pelo caminho haviam discutido entre si qual deles era o maior.

35 A nd He sat down and called the Twelve, and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.

E ele, sentando-se, chamou os doze e lhes disse: se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, será o derradeiro de todos e o servo de todos.

36 A nd He took a little child and put him in the center of their group; and taking him in arms, He said to them,

Então tomou uma criança, pô-la no meio deles e, abraçando-a, disse-lhes:

37 W hoever in My name and for My sake accepts and receives and welcomes one such child also accepts and receives and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me receives not only Me but Him Who sent Me.

Qualquer que em meu nome receber uma destas crianças, a mim me recebe; e qualquer que me recebe a mim, recebe não a mim mas

38 J ohn said to Him, Teacher, we saw a man who does not follow along with us driving out demons in Your name, and we forbade him to do it, because he is not one of our band.

Disse-lhe João: Mestre, vimos um homem que em teu nome expulsava demônios, e nós lho proibimos, porque não nos seguia.

39 B ut Jesus said, Do not restrain or hinder or forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in My name will soon afterward be able to speak evil of Me.

Jesus, porém, respondeu: Não lho proibais; porque ninguém há que faça milagre em meu nome e possa logo depois falar mal de mim;

40 F or he who is not against us is for us.

pois quem não é contra nós, é por nós.

41 F or I tell you truly, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to and bear the name of Christ will by no means fail to get his reward.

Porquanto qualquer que vos der a beber um copo de água em meu nome, porque sois de Cristo, em verdade vos digo que de modo algum perderá a sua recompensa.

42 A nd whoever causes one of these little ones (these believers) who acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin, it would be better (more profitable and wholesome) for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

Mas qualquer que fizer tropeçar um destes pequeninos que crêem em mim, melhor lhe fora que se lhe pendurasse ao pescoço uma pedra de moinho, e que fosse lançado no mar.

43 A nd if your hand puts a stumbling block before you and causes you to sin, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to go into life '> that is really worthwhile] maimed than with two hands to go to hell (Gehenna),

E se a tua mão te fizer tropeçar, corta-a; melhor é entrares na vida aleijado, do que, tendo duas mãos, ires para o inferno, para o fogo que nunca se apaga.

44 Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.

45 A nd if your foot is a cause of stumbling and sin to you, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter into life crippled than, having two feet, to be cast into hell (Gehenna).

Ou, se o teu pé te fizer tropeçar, corta-o; melhor é entrares coxo na vida, do que, tendo dois pés, seres lançado no inferno.

46 Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.

47 A nd if your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell (Gehenna),

Ou, se o teu olho te fizer tropeçar, lança-o fora; melhor é entrares no reino de Deus com um só olho, do que, tendo dois olhos, seres lançado no inferno.

48 W here their worm '> which preys on the inhabitants and is a symbol of the wounds inflicted on the man himself by his sins] does not die, and the fire is not put out.

onde o seu verme não morre, e o fogo não se apaga.

49 F or everyone shall be salted with fire.

Porque cada um será salgado com fogo.

50 S alt is good (beneficial), but if salt has lost its saltness, how will you restore it? Have salt within yourselves, and be at peace and live in harmony with one another.

Bom é o sal; mas, se o sal se tornar insípido, com que o haveis de temperar? Tende sal em vós mesmos, e guardai a paz uns com os outros.
