Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
E ouviram os apostolos, e os irmãos que estavam na Judea, que tambem os gentios receberam a palavra de Deus.
2 and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
E, subindo Pedro a Jerusalem, disputavam com elle os que eram da circumcisão,
3 saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
Dizendo: Entraste em casa de varões incircumcisos, e comeste com elles.
4 But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
Mas Pedro começou a contar-lhes tudo por ordem, dizendo:
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
Estando eu orando na cidade de Joppe, vi, arrebatado dos sentidos, uma visão, um certo vaso, como um grande lençol que descia do céu e, baixado, vinha até junto de mim
6 on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
No qual, pondo eu os olhos, considerei, e vi animaes da terra, quadrupedes, e féras, e reptis, e aves do céu.
7 And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
E ouvi uma voz que me dizia: Levanta-te, Pedro; mata e come.
8 And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
Porém eu disse: De maneira nenhuma, Senhor; pois nunca em minha bocca entrou coisa alguma commum ou immunda.
9 And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
Mas a voz respondeu-me do céu segunda vez: Não chames tu commum ao que Deus purificou.
10 And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
E succedeu isto por tres vezes; e tudo tornou a recolher-se no céu.
11 and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
E eis que, na mesma hora, pararam junto da casa em que eu estava tres varões que me foram enviados de Cesarea.
12 And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
E disse-me o Espirito que fosse com elles, não duvidando; e tambem estes seis irmãos foram comigo, e entrámos em casa d'aquelle varão;
13 and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
E contou-nos como vira estar um anjo em sua casa, e lhe dissera: Envia varões a Joppe, e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro,
14 who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
O qual te dirá palavras com que te salves, tu e toda a tua casa.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
E, quando comecei a fallar, caiu sobre elles o Espirito Sancto como tambem sobre nós ao principio.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.
E lembrei-me do dito do Senhor, quando disse: João certamente baptizou com agua: mas vós sereis baptizados com o Espirito Sancto.
17 If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
Portanto, se Deus lhes deu o mesmo dom que a nós, que tambem já havemos crido no Senhor Jesus Christo, quem era então eu, para que podesse estorvar a Deus?
18 And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
E, ouvindo estas coisas, apaziguaram-se, e glorificaram a Deus, dizendo: De maneira que até aos gentios deu Deus o arrependimento para a vida.
19 They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
E os que foram dispersos pela perseguição que succedeu por causa d'Estevão caminharam até á Phenicia, Chypre e Antiochia, não annunciando a ninguem a palavra, senão só aos judeos.
20 But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
E havia entre elles alguns varões chyprios e cyrenenses, os quaes, entrando em Antiochia, fallaram aos gregos, annunciando o Senhor Jesus.
21 And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
E a mão do Senhor era com elles; e grande numero creu e se converteu ao Senhor.
22 And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
E chegou a fama d'isto aos ouvidos da egreja que estava em Jerusalem; e enviaram Barnabé á Antiochia.
23 who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
O qual, quando chegou, e viu a graça de Deus, se alegrou, e exhortou a todos a que permanecessem no Senhor com proposito do coração.
24 for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.
Porque era homem de bem, e cheio do Espirito Sancto e de fé. E muita gente se uniu ao Senhor.
25 And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
E partiu Barnabé para Tarso, a buscar Saulo; e, achando-o, o conduziu para Antiochia.
26 And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
E succedeu que todo um anno se congregaram n'aquella egreja, e ensinaram muita gente; e em Antiochia foram os discipulos, pela primeira vez, chamados christãos.
27 Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
E n'aquelles dias desceram prophetas de Jerusalem para Antiochia.
28 and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
E, levantando-se um d'elles, por nome Agabo, dava a entender, pelo Espirito, que haveria uma grande fome em todo o mundo, a qual aconteceu no tempo de Claudio Cesar.
29 And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];
E os discipulos determinaram mandar, cada um conforme o que podesse, soccorro para serviço dos irmãos que habitavam na Judea.
30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
O que elles com effeito fizeram, enviando-o aos anciãos por mão de Barnabé e de Saulo.
