São Lucas, 23

1. Levantou-se a sessão e conduziram Jesus dian­te de Pilatos,*

1. Then the whole company of them arose, and brought him before Pilate.

2. e puseram-se a acusá-lo: “Temos encontrado este homem excitando o povo à revolta, proibindo pagar imposto ao imperador e dizendo-se Messias e rei”.

2. And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

3. Pilatos perguntou-lhe: “És tu o rei dos judeus?” Jesus res­pondeu: “Sim”.

3. And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

4. Declarou Pilatos aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e ao povo: “Eu não acho neste homem culpa alguma”.

4. And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no crime in this man."

5. Mas eles insistiam fortemente: “Ele revoluciona o povo ensinando por toda a Judeia, a começar da Galileia até aqui”.

5. But they were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place."

6. A essas palavras, Pilatos perguntou se ele era galileu.

6. When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

7. E, quando soube que era da jurisdição de Herodes, enviou-o a Herodes, pois justamente naqueles dias se achava em Jerusalém.*

7. And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.

8. Herodes alegrou-se muito em ver Jesus, pois de longo tempo desejava vê-lo, por ter ouvido falar dele muitas coisas, e esperava presen­ciar algum milagre operado por ele.

8. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.

9. Dirigiu-lhe muitas perguntas, mas Jesus nada respondeu.

9. So he questioned him at some length; but he made no answer.

10. Ali estavam os príncipes dos sacer­dotes e os escribas, acusando-o com violência.

10. The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

11. Herodes, com a sua guarda, tratou-o com desprezo, escarneceu dele, mandou revesti-lo de uma túnica branca e reenviou-o a Pilatos.

11. And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then, arraying him in gorgeous apparel, he sent him back to Pilate.

12. Naquele mesmo dia, Pilatos e Herodes fizeram as pazes, pois antes eram inimigos um do outro.

12. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

13. Pilatos convocou então os príncipes dos sacerdotes, os magis­trados e o povo, e disse-lhes:

13. Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14. “Apresentastes-me este homem como agitador do povo, mas, interrogando-o eu diante de vós, não o achei culpado de nenhum dos crimes de que o acusais.

14. and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him;

15. Nem tampouco Herodes, pois no-lo devolveu. Portanto, ele nada fez que mereça a morte.

15. neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;

16. Por isso, eu o soltarei depois de o castigar”.

16. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

17. [Acontecia que em cada festa ele era obrigado a soltar-lhes um preso.]

17.

18. Todo o povo gritou a uma voz: “À morte com este, e solta-nos Barrabás.”

18. But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barab'bas" --

19. (Este homem fora lançado ao cárcere devido a uma revolta levantada na cidade, por causa de um homicídio.)

19. a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city, and for murder.

20. Pilatos, porém, querendo soltar Jesus, falou-lhes de novo,

20. Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus;

21. mas eles vociferavam: “Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o!”.

21. but they shouted out, "Crucify, crucify him!"

22. Pela terceira vez, Pilatos ainda interveio: “Mas que mal fez ele, então? Não achei nele nada que mereça a morte; irei, portanto, castigá-lo e, depois, o soltarei”.

22. A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death; I will therefore chastise him and release him."

23. Mas eles instavam, recla­mando em altas vozes que fosse crucificado, e os seus clamores recrudesciam.

23. But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

24. Pilatos pronunciou então a sentença que lhes satisfazia o desejo.

24. So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted.

25. Soltou-lhes aquele que eles reclamavam e que havia sido lançado ao cárcere por causa do homicídio e da revolta, e entregou Jesus à vontade deles. (= Mt 27,32-56 = Mc 15,21-41 = Jo 19,17-37)

25. He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

26. Enquanto o conduziam, detiveram um certo Simão de Cirene, que voltava do campo, e impuseram-lhe a cruz para que a carregasse atrás de Jesus.

26. And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

27. Seguia-o uma grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, que batiam no peito e o lamentavam.

27. And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

28. Voltando-se para elas, Jesus disse: “Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis sobre mim, mas chorai sobre vós mesmas e sobre vossos filhos.

28. But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29. Porque virão dias em que se dirá: Felizes as estéreis, os ventres que não geraram e os peitos que não amamentaram!

29. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!'

30. Então, dirão aos montes: Caí sobre nós! E aos outeiros: Cobri-nos!*

30. Then they will begin to say to the mountains, `Fall on us'; and to the hills, `Cover us.'

31. Porque, se eles fazem isso ao lenho verde, que acontecerá ao seco?”.

31. For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

32. Eram conduzidos ao mesmo tempo dois malfeitores para serem mortos com Jesus.

32. Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.

33. Chegados que foram ao lugar chamado Calvário, ali o crucificaram, como também os ladrões, um à direita e outro à esquerda.

33. And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.

34. E Jesus dizia: “Pai, perdoa-lhes; porque não sabem o que fazem”. Eles dividiram as suas vestes e as sortearam.

34. And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments.

35. A multidão conservava-se lá e observava. Os príncipes dos sacerdotes escarne­ciam de Jesus, dizendo: “Salvou a outros, que se salve a si próprio, se é o Cristo, o escolhido de Deus!”.

35. And the people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!"

36. Do mesmo modo zombavam dele os soldados. Aproximavam-se dele, ofereciam-lhe vinagre e diziam:

36. The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar,

37. “Se és o rei dos judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo”.

37. and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

38. Por cima de sua cabeça pendia esta inscrição: “Este é o rei dos judeus”.

38. There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews."

39. Um dos malfeitores, ali crucificados, blasfemava contra ele: “Se és o Cristo, salva-te a ti mesmo e salva-nos a nós!”.

39. One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

40. Mas o outro o repreendeu: “Nem sequer temes a Deus, tu que sofres no mesmo suplício?

40. But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

41. Para nós isto é justo: recebemos o que mereceram os nossos crimes, mas este não fez mal algum.”

41. And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

42. E acrescentou: “Jesus, lembra-te de mim, quando tiveres entrado no teu Reino!”.

42. And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

43. Jesus respondeu-lhe: “Em verdade te digo: hoje estarás comigo no paraíso”.

43. And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

44. Era quase à hora sexta e em toda a terra houve trevas até a hora nona.*

44. It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,

45. Escureceu-se o sol e o véu do templo rasgou-se pelo meio.

45. while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

46. Jesus deu então um grande brado e disse: “Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito”. E, dizendo isso, expirou.*

46. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.

47. Vendo o centurião o que acontecia, deu glória a Deus e disse: “Na verdade, este homem era um justo”.

47. Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

48. E toda a multidão dos que assistiam a esse espetáculo e viam o que se passava voltou batendo no peito.

48. And all the multitudes who assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.

49. Os amigos de Jesus, como também as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galileia, conservavam-se a certa distância, e observavam estas coisas. (= Mt 27,57-61 = Mc 15,42-47 = Jo 19,38-42)

49. And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance and saw these things.

50. Havia um homem, por nome José, membro do conselho, homem reto e justo.

50. Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathe'a. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

51. Ele não havia concordado com a decisão dos outros nem com os atos deles. Originário de Arimateia, cidade da Judeia, esperava ele o Reino de Deus.

51. who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

52. Foi ter com Pilatos e lhe pediu o corpo de Jesus.

52. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53. Ele o desceu da cruz, envolveu-o em um pano de linho e colocou-o num sepulcro, escavado na rocha, onde ainda ninguém havia sido depositado.

53. Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud, and laid him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid.

54. Era o dia da Preparação e já ia principiar o sábado.*

54. It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning.

55. As mulheres, que ti­nham vindo com Jesus da Galileia, acompanharam José. Elas viram o túmulo e o modo como o corpo de Jesus ali fora depositado.

55. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid;

56. Elas voltaram e prepararam aromas e bálsamos. No dia de sábado, obser­varam o preceito do repouso. (= Mt 28,1-8 = Mc 16,1-8)

56. then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
