< Acts 13 >

1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
E na egreja que estava em Antiochia havia alguns prophetas e doutores, a saber: Barnabé e Simeão, chamado Niger, e Lucio cyreneo, e Manahen, que fôra criado com Herodes o tetrarcha, e Saulo.
2 And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
E, servindo elles ao Senhor, e jejuando, disse o Espirito Sancto: Apartae-me a Barnabé e a Saulo para a obra para que os tenho chamado.
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Então, jejuando e orando, e pondo sobre elles as mãos, os despediram.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Estes então, enviados pelo Espirito Sancto, desceram a Seleucia e d'ali navegaram para Chypre.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
E, chegados a Salamina, annunciavam a palavra de Deus nas synagogas dos judeos; e tinham tambem a João por ministro.
6 And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;
E, havendo atravessado a ilha até Paphos, acharam um certo judeo magico, falso propheta, chamado Bar-jesus,
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
O qual estava com o proconsul Sergio Paulo, varão prudente. Este, chamando a si Barnabé e Saulo, procurava muito ouvir a palavra de Deus.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Mas resistia-lhes Elymas, o encantador (que assim se interpreta o seu nome), procurando apartar da fé o proconsul.
9 But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
Porém Saulo, que tambem se chama Paulo, cheio do Espirito Sancto, e fixando os olhos n'elle, disse:
10 and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Ó filho do diabo, cheio de todo o engano e de toda a malicia, inimigo de toda a justiça, não cessarás de perturbar os rectos caminhos do Senhor?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Eis-ahi, pois, agora contra ti a mão do Senhor, e ficarás cego, sem vêr o sol por algum tempo. E no mesmo instante a escuridão e as trevas cairam sobre elle, e, andando em redor, buscava a quem o guiasse pela mão
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Então o proconsul, vendo o que havia acontecido, creu, maravilhado da doutrina do Senhor.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
E, partindo de Paphos, Paulo e os que estavam com elle chegaram a Perge, cidade da Pamphylia. Porém João, apartando-se d'elles, voltou para Jerusalem.
14 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
E elles, saindo de Perge, chegaram a Antiochia, da Pisidia, e, entrando na synagoga, n'um dia de sabbado, assentaram-se;
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
E, depois da lição da lei e dos prophetas, lhes mandaram dizer os principaes da synagoga: Varões irmãos, se vós tendes alguma palavra de consolação para o povo, fallae
16 And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:
E, levantando-se Paulo, e pedindo silencio com a mão, disse: Varões israelitas, e os que temeis a Deus, ouvi:
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
O Deus d'este povo d'Israel escolheu a nossos paes, e exaltou o povo, sendo elles estrangeiros na terra do Egypto; e com braço levantado os tirou d'ella;
18 And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.
E supportou os seus costumes no deserto por espaço de quasi quarenta annos.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
E, destruindo a sete nações na terra de Canaan, lhes repartiu por sorte a terra d'elles.
20 and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
E, depois d'isto, por quasi quatrocentos e cincoenta annos, lhes deu juizes, até ao propheta Samuel.
21 And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
E depois pediram um rei, e Deus lhes deu por quarenta annos, a Saul filho de Kis, varão da tribu de Benjamin.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
E, tirado este, lhes levantou como rei a David, ao qual tambem deu testemunho, e disse: Achei a David, filho de Jessé, varão conforme o meu coração, que executará toda a minha vontade.
23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
Da descendencia d'este, conforme a promessa, levantou Deus a Jesus para Salvador d'Israel;
24 when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Tendo primeiramente João, antes da vinda d'elle, prégado a todo o povo d'Israel o baptismo do arrependimento.
25 And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
Mas, como João cumprisse a sua carreira, disse: Quem pensaes vós que eu sou? Eu não sou o Christo; mas eis que após mim vem aquelle a quem não sou digno de desatar as alparcas dos pés.
26 Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
Varões irmãos, filhos da geração d'Abrahão, e os que d'entre vós temem a Deus, a vós vos é enviada a palavra d'esta salvação.
27 For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
Porque, não conhecendo a este os que habitavam em Jerusalem, nem os seus principes, condemnando-o, cumpriram assim as vozes dos prophetas que se lêem todos os sabbados.
28 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
E, não achando nenhuma causa de morte, pediram a Pilatos que fosse morto.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
E, havendo elles cumprido todas as coisas que d'elle estavam escriptas, tirando-o do madeiro, o pozeram na sepultura;
30 But God raised him from the dead:
Porém Deus o resuscitou dos mortos.
31 and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
E elle por muitos dias foi visto pelos que subiram com elle da Galilea a Jerusalem, e são suas testemunhas para com o povo.
32 And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
E nós vos annunciamos a promessa que foi feita aos paes, a qual já Deus nos cumpriu, a nós, seus filhos, resuscitando a Jesus:
33 that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Como tambem está escripto no psalmo segundo: Meu filho és tu, hoje te gerei.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
E que o resuscitaria dos mortos, para nunca mais tornar á corrupção, disse-o assim: As sanctas e fieis bençãos de David vos darei.
35 Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.
Pelo que tambem em outro psalmo diz: Não permittirás que o teu sancto veja corrupção.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
Porque, na verdade, tendo David no seu tempo servido conforme a vontade de Deus, dormiu, e foi posto junto de seus paes e viu a corrupção,
37 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
Mas aquelle a quem Deus resuscitou nenhuma corrupção viu.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
Seja-vos pois notorio, varões irmãos, que por este se vos annuncia a remissão dos peccados.
39 and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
E de tudo o que, pela lei de Moysés não podestes ser justificados n'este é justificado todo aquelle que crê.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:
Vêde pois que não venha sobre vós o que está dito nos prophetas:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
Vêde, ó desprezadores, e espantae vos e desapparecei; porque opéro uma obra em vossos dias, obra que não crereis, se alguem vol-a contar.
42 And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
E, saidos os judeos da synagoga, os gentios rogaram que no sabbado seguinte se lhes fallassem as mesmas coisas.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
E, despedida a synagoga, muitos dos judeos e dos proselytos religiosos seguiram Paulo e Barnabé; os quaes, fallando-lhes, os exhortavam a que permanecessem na graça de Deus.
44 And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
E no sabbado seguinte ajuntou-se quasi toda a cidade a ouvir a palavra de Deus.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Porém os judeos, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja: e, blasphemando, contradiziam o que Paulo dizia.
46 And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Mas Paulo e Barnabé, usando de ousadia, disseram: Era mister que a vós se vos fallasse primeiro a palavra de Deus; mas, visto que a rejeitaes, e vos não julgaes dignos da vida eterna, eis que nós voltamos para os gentios; (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Porque o Senhor assim nol-o mandou, dizendo: Eu te puz para luz dos gentios, para que sejas para salvação até aos confins da terra.
48 And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
E os gentios, ouvindo isto, alegraram-se, e glorificavam a palavra do Senhor; e creram todos quantos estavam ordenados para a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
E a palavra do Senhor se divulgava por toda aquella provincia.
50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
Mas os judeos incitaram a algumas mulheres religiosas e honestas, e aos principaes da cidade, e levantaram perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé, e os lançaram fóra dos seus termos.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Sacudindo, porém, contra elles o pó dos seus pés, partiram para Iconio.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
E os discipulos estavam cheios d'alegria e do Espirito Sancto.
