Apocalipse de Paulo 39

1E vi ali moças com vestes negras, e quatro anjos terríveis que tinham nas mãos cadeias ardentes, e as puseram nos pescoços das moças e as conduziram às trevas: e eu, de novo chorando, perguntei ao anjo: Quem são estas, Senhor?

1And I saw there girls having black raiment, and four terrible angels having in their hands burning chains, and they put them on the necks of the girls and led them into darkness: and I, again weeping, asked the angel: Who are these, Sir?

2E ele me disse: Estas são as que, quando eram virgens, profanaram a sua virgindade sem o conhecimento dos pais; por essa causa pagam incessantemente as devidas penas.

2And he said to me: These are they who, when they were virgins, defiled their virginity unknown to their parents; for which cause they unceasingly pay the proper penalties.

3E de novo observei ali homens e mulheres com as mãos cortadas e os pés postos nus num lugar de gelo e neve, e vermes os devoravam.

3And again I observed there men and women with hands cut and their feet placed naked in a place of ice and snow, and worms devoured them.

4Mas vendo-os, lamentei e perguntei: Senhor, quem são estes?

4But seeing them I lamented and asked: Sir, who are these?

5E ele me disse: Estes são os que prejudicaram órfãos, e viúvas, e pobres, e não esperaram no Senhor, por cuja causa pagam incessantemente as devidas penas.

5And he said to me: These are they who harmed orphans and widows and the poor, and did not hope in the Lord, for which cause they unceasingly pay the proper penalties.

6E observei e vi outros pendurados sobre um canal de água, e as suas línguas estavam muito secas, e muitos frutos estavam postos à sua vista, e não lhes era permitido tomar deles, e perguntei: Senhor, quem são estes?

6And I observed and saw others hanging over a channel of water, and their tongues were very dry, and many fruits were placed in their sight, and they were not permitted to take of them, and I asked: Sir, who are these?

7E ele me disse: Estes são os que quebram o jejum antes da hora marcada, por essa causa pagam incessantemente estas penas.

7And he said to me: These are they who break their fast before the appointed hour, for this cause they unceasingly pay these penalties.

8E vi outros homens e mulheres pendurados pelas sobrancelhas e pelos cabelos, e um rio de fogo os arrastava, e eu disse: Quem são estes, meu Senhor?

8And I saw other men and women hanging by their eyebrows and their hair, and a fiery river drew them, and I said: Who are these, my Lord?

9E ele me disse: Estes são os que se unem, não aos seus próprios maridos e esposas, mas a prostitutas, e por isso pagam incessantemente as devidas penas.

9And he said to me: These are they who join themselves not to their own husbands and wives but to whores, and therefore they unceasingly pay the proper penalties.

10E vi outros homens e mulheres cobertos de pó, e o seu semblante era como sangue, e estavam num poço de piche e enxofre e correndo para um rio de fogo, e perguntei: Senhor, quem são estes?

10And I saw other men and women covered with dust, and their countenance was like blood, and they were in a pit of pitch and sulphur and running down into a fiery river, and I asked: Sir, who are these?

11E ele me disse: Estes são os que cometeram a iniquidade de Sodoma e Gomorra, o homem com o homem, por cuja razão pagam incessantemente as penas.

11And he said to me: These are they who committed the iniquity of Sodom and Gomorrah, the male with the male, for which reason they unceasingly pay the penalties.
