Esdras 7
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs NVT
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 Muitos anos depois, durante o reinado de Artaxerxes, rei da Pérsia, havia um homem chamado Esdras. Ele era 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 do sumo sacerdote Arão.
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 Esdras era escriba, conhecedor da lei de Moisés, dada ao povo pelo S enhor , o Deus de Israel. Esdras foi da Babilônia a Jerusalém, e o rei lhe deu tudo que ele pediu, porque a mão do S enhor , seu Deus, estava sobre ele.
7 For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.
7 Alguns dos israelitas, e também alguns sacerdotes, levitas, cantores, guardas das portas e servidores do templo, viajaram com ele para Jerusalém no sétimo ano do reinado de 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 Esdras chegou a Jerusalém em agosto desse mesmo ano.
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 Partiu da Babilônia em 8 de abril, o primeiro dia do novo ano, e chegou a Jerusalém em 4 de agosto, porque a bondosa mão do S enhor , seu Deus, estava sobre ele.
10 Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.
10 Pois Esdras tinha decidido estudar a lei do S enhor , obedecer a ela e ensinar seus decretos e estatutos ao povo de Israel.
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 O rei Artaxerxes tinha dado uma cópia da seguinte carta a Esdras, o sacerdote e escriba que estudava os mandamentos e decretos do S enhor e os ensinava a 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 “De Artaxerxes, rei dos reis, ao sacerdote Esdras, mestre da lei do Deus dos céus. Saudações.
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 “Eu decreto que qualquer israelita em meu reino, incluindo os sacerdotes e os levitas, que desejar regressar com você para Jerusalém, poderá ir.
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 Eu e meus sete conselheiros o instruímos a investigar a situação em Judá e em Jerusalém, com base na lei de seu Deus, que está em suas mãos.
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 Também o encarregamos de levar consigo a prata e o ouro que lhe entregamos voluntariamente como oferta para o Deus de Israel, que habita 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 “Além disso, você levará toda prata e todo ouro que obtiver na província da Babilônia, bem como as ofertas voluntárias do povo e dos sacerdotes para o templo de seu Deus, 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 Use esses recursos para comprar novilhos, carneiros, cordeiros e as respectivas ofertas de cereal e ofertas derramadas. Tudo isso será oferecido no altar do templo de seu Deus, 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 A prata e o ouro que restarem poderão ser usados como parecer melhor a você e a seu povo, conforme a vontade de 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 “Quanto aos utensílios que lhe confiamos para o serviço no templo de seu Deus, entregue-os todos diante do Deus de Jerusalém.
20 And now, my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing?
20 Se precisar de mais alguma coisa para o templo de seu Deus, ou para qualquer necessidade semelhante, use recursos da tesouraria real.
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 “Eu, o rei Artaxerxes, envio o seguinte decreto a todos os tesoureiros da província a oeste do rio Eufrates: ‘Deem a Esdras, sacerdote e mestre da lei do Deus dos céus, tudo que ele requisitar.
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 Deem-lhe até 3.500 quilos de prata, 100 cestos grandes de trigo, 100 tonéis de vinho, 100 tonéis de azeite e sal à vontade.
23 And God also declared unto prophets, by his own mouth, that Christ should come.
23 Tenham o cuidado de providenciar tudo que o Deus dos céus ordenar para seu templo; afinal, por que provocar a ira de Deus contra este império 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 decreto que nenhum sacerdote, levita, cantor, guarda das portas, servidor do templo, nem qualquer outro trabalhador no templo será obrigado a pagar tributos, impostos e taxas de qualquer tipo’.
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 você, Esdras, use a sabedoria que seu Deus lhe deu para nomear magistrados e juízes que conheçam as leis de seu Deus para governarem todo o povo na província a oeste do rio Eufrates. Ensine a lei a todos que não a conhecem.
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 Qualquer um que se recusar a obedecer à lei de seu Deus e do rei será castigado de imediato com a morte, com o exílio, com o confisco dos bens ou com a 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 Louvem o S enhor , o Deus de nossos antepassados, que colocou no coração do rei o desejo de embelezar o templo do S enhor , 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 me mostrou seu amor leal ao honrar-me diante do rei, de seu conselho e de todos os seus oficiais poderosos! Senti-me encorajado porque a mão do S enhor , meu Deus, estava sobre mim e reuni alguns dos líderes de Israel para voltar comigo a Jerusalém.
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.
