Pastor de Hermas 22

1Perguntei à senhora: Senhora, qual é o significado destas coisas?

1I asked the lady: Lady, what is the meaning of these things?

2Ela respondeu: A torre que vês sendo construída sou eu, a Igreja, que te apareceu agora e antes.

2She answered: The tower you see being built is me, the Church, which appeared to you now and before.

3Pergunta, portanto, o que quiseres sobre a torre, e eu te revelarei, para que possas alegrar-te com os santos.

3Ask, therefore, whatever you wish about the tower, and I will reveal it to you, that you may rejoice with the saints.

4Eu disse: Senhora, já que me consideraste digno de me revelar tudo, revela-me. Ela disse: O que te for conveniente te será revelado.

4I said: Lady, since you considered me worthy to reveal everything to me, reveal it to me. She said: What is convenient for you will be revealed to you.
