Acts 18
1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
E depois d'isto partiu Paulo de Athenas, e chegou a Corintho.
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit 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 he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
E, porque era do mesmo officio, ficou com elles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por officio fazer tendas.
4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
E cada sabbado disputava na synagoga, e persuadia a judeos e gregos.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
E, quando Silas e Timotheo desceram da Macedonia, foi Paulo constrangido pelo Espirito, testificando aos judeos que Jesus era o Christo.
6 But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to 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 So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
E, partindo d'ali, entrou em casa de um, por nome Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa estava junto da synagoga.
8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message 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 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
E disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas falla, e não te cales;
10 For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many 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 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
E ficou ali um anno e seis mezes, ensinando entre elles a palavra de Deus.
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on 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 “This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
Dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei.
14 But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
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 since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
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 away from the judgment seat.
E lançou-os do tribunal.
17 At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
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 Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
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 When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
E chegou a Epheso, e deixou-os ali; porém elle, entrando na synagoga, disputava com os judeos.
20 When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
E, rogando-lhe elles que ficasse com elles por mais algum tempo, não conveiu n'isso.
21 But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And 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 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
E, chegando a Cesarea, subiu a Jerusalem, e, saudando a egreja, desceu a Antiochia.
23 After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando successivamente pela provincia da Galacia e Phrygia, confirmando a todos os discipulos.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
E chegou a Epheso um certo judeo chamado Apollo, natural d'Alexandria, varão eloquente e poderoso nas Escripturas.
25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew 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. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to 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 When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
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 refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Porque com grande vehemencia convencia publicamente os judeos, mostrando pelas Escripturas que Jesus era o Christo.
