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 spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

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

2. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there 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. So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there 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. Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

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 said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

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

6. When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

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

7. Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" 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 told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go."

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

9. This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not 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 high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name 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 said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

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

12. So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized 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. First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

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

14. It was Ca'iaphas who had given 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. Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,

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. while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

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

17. The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "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 officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

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

19. The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

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 synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; I have said nothing secretly.

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

21. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

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

22. When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

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 wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

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

24. Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas 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. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you 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 of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you 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. Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.

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 the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

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

29. So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

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

30. They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over."

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 said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews 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. This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.

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

33. Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

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

34. Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about 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? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you 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 kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."

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 said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears 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 said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime 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 man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for 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. They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber.
