Acts 18
1 After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
E depois d'isto partiu Paulo de Athenas, e chegou a Corintho.
2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;
E, achando um certo judeo por nome Aquila, natural do Ponto, que havia pouco que tinha vindo da Italia, e Priscilla, sua mulher (porquanto Claudio tinha mandado que todos os judeos saissem de Roma), se ajuntou com elles,
3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.
E, porque era do mesmo officio, ficou com elles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por officio fazer tendas.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
E cada sabbado disputava na synagoga, e persuadia a judeos e gregos.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
E, quando Silas e Timotheo desceram da Macedonia, foi Paulo constrangido pelo Espirito, testificando aos judeos que Jesus era o Christo.
6 And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
Porém, resistindo e blasphemando elles, sacudiu os vestidos, e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora parto para os gentios.
7 And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
E, partindo d'ali, entrou em casa de um, por nome Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa estava junto da synagoga.
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
E Crispo, principal da synagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos corinthios, ouvindo-o, crêram e foram baptizados.
9 And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:
E disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas falla, e não te cales;
10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.
Porque eu estou comtigo, e ninguem lançará mão de ti para te fazer mal, porque tenho muito povo n'esta cidade.
11 And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
E ficou ali um anno e seis mezes, ensinando entre elles a palavra de Deus.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,
Porém, sendo Gallio proconsul da Achaia, levantaram-se os judeos concordemente contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,
13 saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
E, querendo Paulo abrir a bocca, disse Gallio aos judeos: Se houvesse, ó judeos, algum aggravo ou crime enorme, com razão vos soffreria,
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.
Mas, se a questão é de palavras, e de nomes, e da lei que entre vós ha, vêde-o vós mesmos: porque eu não quero ser juiz d'essas coisas.
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
E lançou-os do tribunal.
17 And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
Porém, tomando todos os gregos a Sosthenes, principal da synagoga, o feriram diante do tribunal; e a Gallio nada d'estas coisas se lhe davam.
18 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow.
E Paulo, ficando ainda ali muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e d'ali navegou para a Syria, e com elle Priscilla e Aquila, tendo tosquiado a cabeça em Cenchrea, porque tinha voto.
19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
E chegou a Epheso, e deixou-os ali; porém elle, entrando na synagoga, disputava com os judeos.
20 And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;
E, rogando-lhe elles que ficasse com elles por mais algum tempo, não conveiu n'isso.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
Antes se despediu d'elles, dizendo: É-me necessario em todo o caso guardar em Jerusalem a festa que se approxima; mas, querendo Deus, outra vez voltarei para vós. E partiu de Epheso.
22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.
E, chegando a Cesarea, subiu a Jerusalem, e, saudando a egreja, desceu a Antiochia.
23 And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando successivamente pela provincia da Galacia e Phrygia, confirmando a todos os discipulos.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.
E chegou a Epheso um certo judeo chamado Apollo, natural d'Alexandria, varão eloquente e poderoso nas Escripturas.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:
Este era instruido no caminho do Senhor, e, fervoroso de espirito, fallava e ensinava diligentemente as coisas do Senhor, conhecendo sómente o baptismo de João.
26 and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.
E este começou a fallar ousadamente na synagoga; e, ouvindo-o Priscilla e Aquila, o levaram comsigo, e lhe declararam mais pontualmente o caminho de Deus.
27 And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;
E, querendo elle passar á Achaia, exhortando-o os irmãos, escreveram aos discipulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, aproveitou muito aos que pela graça criam.
28 for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Porque com grande vehemencia convencia publicamente os judeos, mostrando pelas Escripturas que Jesus era o Christo.
