Gênesis 18
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs NVT
1 AND it came to pass that they did worship the Lord, and did go forth with me; and we did work timbers of curious workmanship. And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the ship.
1 O S enhor apareceu novamente a Abraão junto ao bosque de carvalhos que pertencia a Manre. Abraão estava sentado à entrada de sua tenda na hora mais quente do dia.
2 Now I, Nephi, did not work the timbers after the manner which was learned by men, neither did I build the ship after the manner of men; but I did build it after the manner which the Lord had shown unto me; wherefore, it was not after the manner of men.
2 Olhando para fora, viu três homens em pé, próximos à tenda. Quando os viu, correu até onde estavam e lhes deu as boas-vindas, curvando-se até o chão.
3 And I, Nephi, did go into the mount oft, and I did pray oft unto the Lord; wherefore the Lord showed unto me great things.
3 Abraão disse: “Meu senhor, se assim desejar, pare aqui um pouco.
4 And it came to pass that after I had finished the ship, according to the word of the Lord, my brethren beheld that it was good, and that the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine; wherefore, they did humble themselves again before the Lord.
4 Descanse à sombra desta árvore enquanto mando trazer água para lavarem os pés.
5 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my father, that we should arise and go down into the ship.
5 E, uma vez que honraram seu servo com esta visita, prepararei uma refeição para restaurar suas forças antes de seguirem viagem”. “Está bem”, responderam eles. “Faça como você disse.”
6 And it came to pass that on the morrow, after we had prepared all things, much fruits and meat from the wilderness, and honey in abundance, and provisions according to that which the Lord had commanded us, we did go down into the ship, with all our loading and our seeds, and whatsoever thing we had brought with us, every one according to his age; wherefore, we did all go down into the ship, with our wives and our children.
6 Abraão voltou correndo para a tenda e disse a Sara: “Rápido! Pegue três medidas da melhor farinha, amasse-a e faça alguns pães”.
7 And now, my father had begat two sons in the wilderness; the elder was called Jacob and the younger Joseph.
7 Em seguida, Abraão correu ao rebanho, escolheu um novilho tenro e o entregou a seu servo, que o preparou rapidamente.
8 And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship, and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been commanded us, we did put forth into the sea and were driven forth before the wind towards the promised land.
8 Quando a comida estava pronta, Abraão pegou coalhada, leite e a carne assada e os serviu aos visitantes. Enquanto comiam, Abraão permaneceu à disposição deles, à sombra das árvores.
9 And after we had been driven forth before the wind for the space of many days, behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives began to make themselves merry, insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing, and to speak with much rudeness, yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither; yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.
9 “Onde está Sara, sua mulher?”, perguntaram os visitantes. “Está dentro da tenda”, respondeu Abraão.
10 And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us, and smite us because of our iniquity, that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea; wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness; but behold they were angry with me, saying: We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.
10 Então um deles disse: “Voltarei a visitar você por esta época, no ano que vem, e sua mulher, Sara, terá um filho”. Sara estava ouvindo a conversa de dentro da tenda.
11 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and bind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness; nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken concerning the wicked.
11 Abraão e Sara já eram bem velhos, e Sara tinha passado, havia muito tempo, da idade de ter filhos.
12 And it came to pass that after they had bound me insomuch that I could not move, the compass, which had been prepared of the Lord, did cease to work.
12 Por isso, riu consigo e disse: “Como poderia uma mulher da minha idade ter esse prazer, ainda mais quando meu senhor, meu marido, também é idoso?”.
13 Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship, insomuch that there arose a great storm, yea, a great and terrible tempest, and we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days; and they began to be frightened exceedingly lest they should be drowned in the sea; nevertheless they did not loose me.
13 Então o S enhor disse a Abraão: “Por que Sara riu? Por que disse: ‘Pode uma mulher da minha idade ter um filho’?
14 And on the fourth day, which we had been driven back, the tempest began to be exceedingly sore.
14 Existe alguma coisa difícil demais para o S enhor ? Voltarei por esta época, no ano que vem, e Sara terá um filho”.
15 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea. And after we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold they had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.
15 Sara teve medo e, por isso, mentiu: “Eu não ri”. Mas ele disse: “Não é verdade. Você riu”.
16 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.
16 Depois da refeição, os visitantes se levantaram e olharam em direção a Sodoma. Quando partiram, Abraão os acompanhou para despedir-se deles.
17 Now my father, Lehi, had said many things unto them, and also unto the sons of Ishmael; but, behold, they did breathe out much threatenings against anyone that should speak for me; and my parents being stricken in years, and having suffered much grief because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick-beds.
17 Então o S enhor disse: “Devo esconder meu plano de Abraão?
18 Because of their grief and much sorrow, and the iniquity of my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of this time to meet their God; yea, their grey hairs were about to be brought down to lie low in the dust; yea, even they were near to be cast with sorrow into a watery grave.
18 Afinal, Abraão certamente se tornará uma grande e poderosa nação, e todas as nações da terra serão abençoadas por meio dele.
19 And Jacob and Joseph also, being young, having need of much nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother; and also my wife with her tears and prayers, and also my children, did not soften the hearts of my brethren that they would loose me.
19 Eu o escolhi para que ordene a seus filhos e às famílias deles que guardem o caminho do S enhor , praticando o que é certo e justo. Então farei por Abraão tudo que prometi”.
20 And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts; wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea they repented of the thing which they had done, insomuch that they loosed me.
20 Portanto, o S enhor disse a Abraão: “Ouvi um grande clamor vindo de Sodoma e Gomorra, porque o pecado dessas duas cidades é extremamente grave.
21 And it came to pass after they had loosed me, behold, I took the compass, and it did work whither I desired it. And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord; and after I had prayed the winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great calm.
21 Descerei para investigar se seus atos são, de fato, tão perversos quanto tenho ouvido. Se não forem, quero saber”.
22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.
22 Os outros visitantes partiram para Sodoma, mas Abraão permaneceu diante do S enhor .
23 And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of many days *we did arrive at the promised land; and we went forth upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the promised land.
23 Aproximou-se dele e disse: “Exterminarás tanto os justos como os perversos?
24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.
24 Suponhamos que haja cinquenta justos na cidade. Mesmo assim os exterminarás e não a pouparás por causa deles?
25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of ore, both of gold, and of silver, and of copper.
25 Claro que não farias tal coisa: destruir o justo com o perverso. Afinal, estarias tratando o justo e o perverso da mesma maneira! Certamente não farias isso! Acaso o Juiz de toda a terra não faria o que é certo?”.
