São João, 19

1. Pilatos mandou então flagelar Jesus.

1. Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

2. Os soldados teceram de espinhos uma coroa e puseram-lha sobre a cabeça e cobriram-no com um manto de púrpura.

2. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;

3. Aproximavam-se dele e diziam: “Salve, rei dos judeus!”. E davam-lhe bofetadas.

3. they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.

4. Pilatos saiu outra vez e disse-lhes: “Eis que vo-lo trago fora, para que saibais que não acho nele nenhum motivo de acusação”.

4. Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

5. Apareceu então Jesus, trazendo a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. Pilatos disse: “Eis o homem!”.

5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

6. Quando os pontífices e os guardas o viram, gritaram: “Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o. Falou-lhes Pilatos: “Tomai-o vós e crucificai-o, pois eu não acho nele culpa alguma”.

6. When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."

7. Responderam-lhe os judeus: “Nós temos uma Lei, e segundo essa Lei ele deve morrer, porque se declarou Filho de Deus”.

7. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

8. Essas palavras impressionaram Pilatos.

8. When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

9. Entrou novamente no pretório e perguntou a Jesus: “De onde és tu?”. Mas Jesus não lhe respondeu.

9. he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.

10. Pilatos então lhe disse: “Tu não me respondes? Não sabes que tenho poder para te soltar e para te crucificar?”.

10. Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"

11. Respondeu Jesus: “Não terias poder algum sobre mim, se de cima não te fora dado. Por isso, quem me entregou a ti tem pecado maior”.

11. Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

12. Desde então Pilatos procurava soltá-lo. Mas os judeus gritavam: “Se o soltares, não és amigo do imperador, porque todo o que se faz rei se declara contra o imperador”.

12. Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

13. Ouvindo essas palavras, Pilatos trouxe Jesus para fora e sentou-se no tribunal, no lugar chamado Lajeado, em hebraico Gábata.*

13. When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

14. (Era a Preparação para a Páscoa, cerca da hora sexta.) Pilatos disse aos judeus: “Eis o vosso rei!”.*

14. Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

15. Mas eles clamavam: “Fora com ele! Fora com ele! Crucifica-o!”. Pilatos perguntou-lhes: “Hei de crucificar o vosso rei?”. Os sumos sacerdotes responderam: “Não temos outro rei senão César!”.

15. They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

16. Entregou-o então a eles para que fosse crucificado. (= Mt 27,32-56 = Mc 15,21-41 = Lc 23,26-49)

16. Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

17. Levaram então consigo Jesus. Ele próprio carregava a sua cruz para fora da cidade, em direção ao lugar chamado Calvário, em hebraico Gólgota.*

17. So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha.

18. Ali o crucificaram, e com ele outros dois, um de cada lado, e Jesus no meio.

18. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

19. Pilatos redigiu também uma inscrição e a fixou por cima da cruz. Nela estava escrito: “Jesus de Nazaré, rei dos judeus”.

19. Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

20. Muitos dos judeus leram essa inscrição, porque Jesus foi crucificado perto da cidade e a inscrição era redigida em hebraico, em latim e em grego.

20. Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

21. Os sumos sacerdotes dos judeus disseram a Pilatos: “Não escrevas: Rei dos judeus, mas sim: Este homem disse ser o rei dos judeus”.

21. The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, `The King of the Jews,' but, `This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"

22. Respondeu Pilatos: “O que escrevi, escrevi”.

22. Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

23. Depois de os soldados crucificarem Jesus, tomaram as suas vestes e fizeram delas quatro partes, uma para cada soldado. A túnica, porém, toda tecida de alto a baixo, não tinha costura.

23. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom;

24. Disseram, pois, uns aos outros: “Não a rasguemos, mas deitemos sorte sobre ela, para ver de quem será”. Assim se cumpria a Escritura: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes e deitaram sorte sobre a minha túnica (Sl 21,19). Isso fizeram os soldados.

24. so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

25. Junto à cruz de Jesus estavam de pé sua mãe, a irmã de sua mãe, Maria, mulher de Cléofas, e Maria Madalena.

25. So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene.

26. Quando Jesus viu sua mãe e perto dela o discípulo que amava, disse à sua mãe: “Mulher, eis aí teu filho”.

26. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"

27. Depois disse ao discípulo: “Eis aí tua mãe”. E dessa hora em diante o discípulo a recebeu como sua mãe.

27. Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28. Em seguida, sabendo Jesus que tudo estava consumado, para se cumprir plenamente a Escritura, disse: “Tenho sede”.

28. After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

29. Havia ali um vaso cheio de vinagre. Os soldados encheram de vinagre uma esponja e, fixando-a numa vara de hissopo, chegaram-lhe à boca.*

29. A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth.

30. Havendo Jesus tomado do vinagre, disse: “Tudo está consumado”. Inclinou a cabeça e entregou o espírito.

30. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31. Os judeus temeram que os corpos ficassem na cruz durante o sábado, porque já era a Preparação e esse sábado era particularmente solene. Rogaram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas e fossem retirados.*

31. Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32. Vieram os soldados e quebraram as pernas do primeiro e do outro, que com ele foram crucificados.

32. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him;

33. Chegando, porém, a Jesus, como o vissem já morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas,

33. but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

34. mas um dos soldados abriu-lhe o lado com uma lança e, imediatamente, saiu sangue e água.

34. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

35. O que foi testemunha desse fato o atesta (e o seu testemunho é digno de fé, e ele sabe que diz a verdade), a fim de que vós creiais.

35. He who saw it has borne witness -- his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth -- that you also may believe.

36. Assim se cumpriu a Escritura: Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado (Ex 12,46).*

36. For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."

37. E diz em outra parte a Escritura: Olharão para aquele que trans­pas­sa­ram (Zc 12,10). (= Mt 27,57-61 = Mc 15,42-47 = Lc 23,50-56)

37. And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."

38. Depois disso, José de Arimateia, que era discípulo de Jesus, mas ocultamente, por medo dos judeus, rogou a Pilatos a autori­zação para tirar o corpo de Jesus. Pilatos permitiu. Foi, pois, e tirou o corpo de Jesus.

38. After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

39. Acompanhou-o Nicodemos (aquele que anterior­mente fora de noite ter com Jesus), levando umas cem libras de uma mistura de mirra e aloés.

39. Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.

40. Tomaram o corpo de Jesus e envolveram-no em panos com os aromas, como os judeus costumam sepultar.

40. They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41. No lugar em que ele foi crucificado havia um jardim, e no jardim um sepulcro novo, em que ninguém ainda fora depositado.

41. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.

42. Foi ali que depositaram Jesus por causa da Preparação dos judeus e da proximidade do túmulo. (= Mt 28,1-10 = Mc 16,1-10= Lc 24,1-12)

42. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
