Esdras 7
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs ARC
1 AND now I, Moroni, write a few of the words of my father Mormon, which he spake concerning faith, hope, and charity; for after this manner did he speak unto the people, as he taught them in the synagogue which they had built for the place of worship.
1 E, passadas essas coisas, no reinado de Artaxerxes, rei da Pérsia, Esdras, filho de Seraías, filho de Azarias, filho de Hilquias,
2 And now I, Mormon, speak unto you, my beloved brethren; and it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and his holy will, because of the gift of his calling unto me, that I am permitted to speak unto you at this time.
2 filho de Salum, filho de Zadoque, filho de Aitube,
3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.
3 filho de Amarias, filho de Azarias, filho de Meraiote,
4 And now my brethren, I judge these things of you because of your peaceable walk with the children of men.
4 filho de Zeraías, filho de Uzi, filho de Buqui,
5 For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also.
5 filho de Abisua, filho de Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão, o sumo sacerdote,
6 For behold, God hath said a man being evil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.
6 este Esdras subiu de Babilônia; e era escriba hábil na Lei de Moisés, dada pelo Senhor , Deus de Israel; e, segundo a mão do Senhor , seu Deus, que estava sobre ele, o rei lhe deu tudo quanto lhe pedira.
7 For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.
7 Também subiram a Jerusalém alguns dos filhos de Israel, e dos sacerdotes, e dos levitas, e dos cantores, e dos porteiros, e dos netineus, no ano sétimo do rei Artaxerxes.
8 For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God.
8 E, no mês quinto, veio ele a Jerusalém; e era o sétimo ano desse rei;
9 And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.
9 porque, no primeiro dia do primeiro mês, foi o princípio da sua subida de Babilônia; e, no primeiro dia do quinto mês, chegou a Jerusalém, segundo a boa mão do seu Deus sobre ele.
10 Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.
10 Porque Esdras tinha preparado o seu coração para buscar a Lei do Senhor , e para a cumprir, e para ensinar em Israel os seus estatutos e os seus direitos.
11 For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.
11 Esta é, pois, a cópia da carta que o rei Artaxerxes deu ao sacerdote Esdras, o escriba das palavras, dos mandamentos do Senhor e dos seus estatutos sobre Israel:
12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.
12 Artaxerxes, rei dos reis, ao sacerdote Esdras, escriba da Lei do Deus do céu, paz perfeita!
13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.
13 Por mim se decreta que, no meu reino, todo aquele do povo de Israel e dos seus sacerdotes e levitas que quiser ir contigo a Jerusalém, vá.
14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.
14 Porquanto da parte do rei e dos seus sete conselheiros és mandado, para fazeres inquirição em Judá e em Jerusalém, conforme a Lei do teu Deus, que está na tua mão;
15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
15 e para levares a prata e o ouro que o rei e os seus conselheiros voluntariamente deram ao Deus de Israel, cuja habitação está em Jerusalém;
16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
16 e toda a prata e o ouro que achares em toda a província de Babilônia, com as ofertas voluntárias do povo e dos sacerdotes, que voluntariamente oferecerem, para a Casa de seu Deus, que está em Jerusalém.
17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
17 Portanto, comprarás com este dinheiro novilhos, carneiros, cordeiros, com as suas ofertas de manjares e as suas libações e oferece-as sobre o altar da Casa do vosso Deus, que está em Jerusalém.
18 And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
18 Também o que a ti e a teus irmãos bem parecer fazerdes do resto da prata e do ouro, o fareis conforme a vontade do vosso Deus.
19 Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
19 E os utensílios que te foram dados para o serviço da Casa de teu Deus, restitui-os perante o Deus de Jerusalém.
20 And now, my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing?
20 E o resto do que for necessário para a Casa de teu Deus, que te convenha dar, o darás da casa dos tesouros do rei.
21 And now I come to that faith, of which I said I would speak; and I will tell you the way whereby ye may lay hold on every good thing.
21 E por mim mesmo, o rei Artaxerxes, se decreta a todos os tesoureiros que estão dalém do rio que tudo quanto vos pedir o sacerdote Esdras, escriba da Lei do Deus dos céus, apressuradamente se faça.
22 For behold, God knowing all things, being from everlasting to everlasting, behold, he sent angels to minister unto the children of men, to make manifest concerning the coming of Christ; and in Christ there should come every good thing.
22 Até cem talentos de prata, e até cem coros de trigo, e até cem batos de vinho, e até cem batos de azeite, e sal sem conta.
23 And God also declared unto prophets, by his own mouth, that Christ should come.
23 Tudo quanto se ordenar, segundo o mandado do Deus do céu, prontamente se faça para a Casa do Deus dos céus, porque para que haveria grande ira sobre o reino do rei e de seus filhos?
24 And behold, there were divers ways that he did manifest things unto the children of men, which were good; and all things which are good cometh of Christ; otherwise men were fallen, and there could no good thing come unto them.
24 Também vos fazemos saber acerca de todos os sacerdotes, levitas, cantores, porteiros, netineus e ministros desta Casa de Deus que se lhes não possa impor nem direito, nem antigo tributo, nem renda.
25 Wherefore, by the ministering of angels, and by every word which proceeded forth out of the mouth of God, men began to exercise faith in Christ; and thus by faith, they did lay hold upon every good thing; and thus it was until the coming of Christ.
25 E tu, Esdras, conforme a sabedoria do teu Deus, que está na tua mão, põe regedores e juízes que julguem a todo o povo que está dalém do rio, a todos os que sabem as leis de teu Deus, e ao que as não sabe as fareis saber.
26 And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name; and by faith, they become the sons of God. And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.
26 E todo aquele que não observar a lei do teu Deus e a lei do rei, logo se faça justiça dele, quer seja morte, quer degredo, quer multa sobre os seus bens, quer prisão.
27 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?
27 Bendito seja o Senhor , Deus de nossos pais, que tal inspirou ao coração do rei, para ornarmos a Casa do Senhor , que está em Jerusalém;
28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.
28 e que estendeu para mim a sua beneficência perante o rei, e os seus conselheiros, e todos os príncipes poderosos do rei. Assim, me esforcei, segundo a mão do Senhor sobre mim, e ajuntei dentre Israel alguns chefes para subirem comigo.
29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men.
29 — ausente —
30 For behold, they are subject unto him, to minister according to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them of strong faith and a firm mind in every form of godliness.
30 — ausente —
31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear testimony of him.
31 — ausente —
32 And by so doing, the Lord God prepareth the way that the residue of men may have faith in Christ, that the Holy Ghost may have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof; and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants which he hath made unto the children of men.
32 — ausente —
33 And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.
33 — ausente —
34 And he hath said: Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, and have faith in me, that ye may be saved.
34 — ausente —
35 And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these things are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will show unto you, with power and great glory at the last day, that they are true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased?
35 — ausente —
36 Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?
36 — ausente —
37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain.
37 — ausente —
38 For no man can be saved, according to the words of Christ, save they shall have faith in his name; wherefore, if these things have ceased, then has faith ceased also; and awful is the state of man, for they are as though there had been no redemption made.
38 — ausente —
39 But behold, my beloved brethren, I judge better things of you, for I judge that ye have faith in Christ because of your meekness; for if ye have not faith in him then ye are not fit to be numbered among the people of his church.
39 — ausente —
40 And again, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you concerning hope. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save ye shall have hope?
40 — ausente —
41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.
41 — ausente —
42 Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.
42 — ausente —
43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
43 — ausente —
44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
44 — ausente —
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
45 — ausente —
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail-
46 — ausente —
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
47 — ausente —
48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
