Acts 12
1 Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
E por aquelle mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da egreja, para os maltratar;
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
E matou á espada Thiago, irmão de João.
3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.
E, vendo que isso agradára aos judeos, continuou, mandando prender tambem a Pedro. E eram os dias dos asmos.
4 And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
E, havendo-o prendido, o encerrou na prisão, entregando-o a quatro quaternos de soldados, para que o guardassem, querendo apresental-o ao povo depois da paschoa.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.
Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão; porém a egreja fazia continua oração por elle a Deus.
6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
E quando Herodes o havia de tirar, n'aquella mesma noite, estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, ligado com duas cadeias, e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
E eis que sobreveiu o anjo do Senhor, e resplandeceu uma luz na prisão; e, tocando a Pedro na ilharga, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E cairam-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
E disse-lhe o anjo: Cinge-te, e ata as tuas alparcas. E elle o fez assim. Disse-lhe mais: Lança ás costas a tua capa, e segue-me.
9 And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.
E, saindo, o seguia. E não sabia que fosse verdade o que era feito pelo anjo, mas cuidava que via alguma visão.
10 And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.
E, quando passaram a primeira e segunda guarda, chegaram á porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e, tendo saido, andaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou d'elle.
11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
E Pedro, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes, e de tudo o que o povo dos judeos esperava.
12 And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.
E, considerando elle n'isto, foi a casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitos estavam juntos e orando.
13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
E, batendo Pedro á porta do pateo, uma menina chamada Rhode saiu a escutar;
14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
E, conhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu a porta do pateo, mas, correndo para dentro, annunciou que Pedro estava fóra á porta do pateo.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.
E disseram-lhe: Estás fóra de ti. Mas ella affirmava que assim era. E diziam: É o seu anjo.
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
Porém Pedro perseverava em bater, e, quando abriram, viram-n'o, e se espantaram.
17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.
E, acenando-lhes elle com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirára da prisão, e disse: Annunciae isto a Thiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro logar.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
E, sendo já dia, houve não pouco alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que seria feito de Pedro.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there.
E, quando Herodes o buscou e o não achou, feita inquirição aos guardas, mandou-os justiçar. E, partindo da Judea para Cesarea, ficou ali
20 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
E Herodes estava irritado com os de Tyro e de Sidon; porém elles, vindo de commum accordo ter com elle, e persuadindo Blasto, que era o camarista do rei, pediam paz: porquanto o seu paiz sustentava-se do paiz do rei.
21 And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.
E n'um dia designado, vestindo Herodes as vestes reaes, e assentado no tribunal, lhes fez uma pratica.
22 And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.
E o povo exclamava: Voz de Deus, e não de homem.
23 And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
E no mesmo instante feriu-o o anjo do Senhor, porquanto não deu gloria a Deus, e, comido de bichos, expirou.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
E Barnabé e Saulo, havendo cumprido aquelle serviço, voltaram de Jerusalem, levando tambem comsigo a João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos.
