São João, 18

1. Depois dessas palavras, Jesus saiu com os seus discípulos para além da torrente de Cedron, onde havia um jardim, no qual entrou com os seus discípulos.

1. When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

2. Judas, o traidor, conhecia também aquele lugar, porque Jesus ia frequentemente para lá com os seus discípulos.

2. And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

3. Tomou então Judas a coorte e os guardas de serviço dos pontífices e dos fariseus, e chegaram ali com lanternas, tochas e armas.

3. Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4. Como Jesus soubesse tudo o que havia de lhe acontecer, adiantou-se e perguntou-lhes: “A quem buscais?”.

4. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?

5. Responderam: “A Jesus de Nazaré.” – “Sou eu” – disse-lhes. (Também Judas, o traidor, estava com eles.)

5. They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

6. Quando lhes disse “Sou eu”, recuaram e caíram por terra.

6. As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7. Perguntou-lhes ele, pela segunda vez: “A quem buscais?”. Disseram: “A Jesus de Nazaré”.

7. Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8. Replicou Jesus: “Já vos disse que sou eu. Se é, pois, a mim que buscais, deixai ir estes”.

8. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.

9. Assim se cumpriu a palavra que disse: Dos que me deste não perdi nenhum (Jo 17,12).

9. That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.

10. Simão Pedro, que tinha uma espada, puxou dela e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, decepando-lhe a orelha direita. (O servo chamava-se Malco.)

10. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.

11. Mas Jesus disse a Pedro: “Enfia a tua espada na bainha! Não hei de beber eu o cálice que o Pai me deu?”.

11. Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12. Então a coorte, o tribuno e os guardas dos judeus prenderam Jesus e o ataram.

12. Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:

13. Conduziram-no primeiro a Anás, por ser sogro de Caifás, que era o sumo sacerdote daquele ano. (= Mt 26,57-75 = Mc 14,53-72 = Lc 22,54-71)

13. And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.

14. Caifás fora quem dera aos judeus o conselho: “Convém que um só homem morra em lugar do povo”.

14. Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15. Simão Pedro seguia Jesus, e mais outro discípulo. Este discípulo era conhecido do sumo sacerdote e entrou com Jesus no pátio da casa do sumo sacerdote,

15. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16. porém Pedro ficou de fora, à porta. Mas o outro discípulo (que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote) saiu e falou à porteira, e esta deixou Pedro entrar.

16. But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.

17. A porteira perguntou a Pedro: “Não és acaso também tu dos discípulos desse homem?”. – “Não o sou” – respondeu ele.

17. The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith: I am not.

18. Os servos e os guardas acenderam um fogo, porque fazia frio, e se aqueciam. Com eles estava também Pedro, de pé, aquecendo-se.

18. Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.

19. O sumo sacerdote indagou de Jesus acerca dos seus discípulos e da sua doutrina.

19. The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

20. Jesus res­pondeu-lhe: “Falei publicamente ao mundo. Ensinei na sinagoga e no templo, onde se reúnem os judeus, e nada falei às ocultas.

20. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.

21. Por que me perguntas? Pergunta àqueles que ouviram o que lhes disse. Estes sabem o que ensinei”.

21. Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.

22. A essas palavras, um dos guardas presentes deu uma bofetada em Jesus, dizendo: “É assim que respondes ao sumo sacerdote?”.

22. And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

23. Replicou-lhe Jesus: “Se falei mal, prova-o, mas se falei bem, por que me bates?”.

23. Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?

24. (Anás enviou-o preso ao sumo sacerdote Caifás.)*

24. And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.

25. Simão Pedro estava lá se aquecendo. Perguntaram-lhe: “Não és porventura, também tu, dos seus discípulos?” Negou-o, dizendo: “Não!”.

25. And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.

26. Disse-lhe um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a quem Pedro cortara a orelha: “Não te vi eu com ele no horto?”.

26. One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

27. Mas Pedro negou-o outra vez, e imedia­tamente o galo cantou. (= Mt 27,1s.11-31 = Mc 15,1-20 = Lc 23,1-25)

27. Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.

28. Da casa de Caifás conduziram Jesus ao pretório. Era de manhã cedo. Mas os judeus não entraram no pretório, para não se contaminarem e poderem comer a Páscoa.*

28. Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.

29. Saiu, por isso, Pilatos para ter com eles, e perguntou: “Que acusação trazeis contra este homem?”.

29. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?

30. Responderam-lhe: “Se este não fosse malfeitor, não o teríamos entregue a ti”.

30. They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

31. Disse, então, Pila­tos: “Tomai-o e julgai-o vós mesmos segundo a vossa Lei”. Responderam-lhe os judeus: “Não nos é permitido matar ninguém”.*

31. Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;

32. Assim se cumpria a palavra com a qual Jesus indicou de que gênero de morte havia de morrer (Mt 20,19).

32. That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.

33. Pilatos entrou no pretório, chamou Jesus e perguntou-lhe: “És tu o rei dos judeus?”

33. Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?

34. Jesus respondeu: “Dizes isso por ti mesmo, ou foram outros que to disseram de mim?”

34. Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?

35. Disse Pilatos: “Acaso sou eu judeu? A tua nação e os sumos sacerdotes entregaram-te a mim. Que fizeste?”.

35. Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

36. Respondeu Jesus: “O meu Reino não é deste mundo. Se o meu Reino fosse deste mundo, os meus súditos certamente teriam pelejado para que eu não fosse entregue aos judeus. Mas o meu Reino não é deste mundo”.

36. Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

37. Perguntou-lhe então Pilatos: “És, portanto, rei?” Respondeu Jesus: “Sim, eu sou rei. É para dar testemunho da verdade que nasci e vim ao mundo. Todo o que é da verdade ouve a minha voz”.

37. Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

38. Disse-lhe Pilatos: “Que é a verdade?...”. Falando isso, saiu de novo, foi ter com os judeus e disse-lhes: “Não acho nele crime algum.

38. Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.

39. Mas é costume entre vós que pela Páscoa vos solte um preso. Quereis, pois, que vos solte o rei dos judeus?”.

39. But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

40. Então todos gritaram novamente e disseram: “Não! A este não! Mas a Barrabás!”. (Barrabás era um saltea­dor.)

40. Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
