Acts 5
1 BUT a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
E um certo varão chamado Ananias, com safira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade;
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
E reteve parte do preço, sabendo-o também sua mulher; e, trazendo uma parte dele, a depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Disse então Pedro: Ananias, porque encheu Satanás o teu coração, para que mentisses ao Espírito Santo, e retivestes parte do preço da herdade?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Guardando-a, não ficava para ti? E, vendida, não estava em teu poder? Porque formaste este desígnio em teu coração? Não mentiste aos homens, mas a Deus
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
E Ananias, ouvindo estas palavras, caiu e expirou. E um grande temor veio sobre todos os que isto ouviram.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
E, levantando-se os mancebos, pegaram dele, e, transportando-o para fora, o sepultaram.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
E, passando um espaço quase de três horas, entrou também sua mulher, não sabendo o que havia acontecido.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
E disse-lhe Pedro: Dize-me, vendestes por tanto aquela herdade? E ela disse: Sim, por tanto.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Porém Pedro lhe disse: Porque é que entre vós vos concertastes para tentar o espírito do Senhor? Eis ai à porta os pés dos que sepultaram a teu marido, e também te levarão a ti.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
E logo caiu aos seus pés, e expirou. E, entrando os mancebos, acharam-na morta, e a sepultaram junto de seu marido.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
E veio um grande temor a toda a igreja, e a todos os que ouviram estas coisas.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
E muitos sinais e prodígios eram feitos entre o povo pelas mãos dos apóstolos. E estavam todos unânimes no alpendre de Salomão.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
E dos outros ninguém ousava ajuntar-se com eles: mas o povo tinha-os em grande estima.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
E a multidão dos que criam no Senhor, tanto homens como mulheres, crescia mais e mais.
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
De sorte que transportavam os enfermos para as ruas, e os punham em leitos e em camilhas para que a sombra de Pedro, quando passasse, cobrisse alguns deles.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
E até das cidades circunvizinhas concorria a multidão a Jerusalém, conduzindo enfermos e atormentados de espíritos imundos; os quais todos eram curados.
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
E, levantando-se o sumo sacerdote, e todos os que estavam com ele (que era a seita dos sadduceos), encheram-se de inveja,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
E lançaram mão dos apóstolos, e os puseram na prisão pública.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Mas de noite um anjo do Senhor abriu as portas da prisão, e, tirando-os para fora, disse:
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Ide apresentar-vos no templo, e dizei ao povo todas as palavras desta vida.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
E, ouvindo eles isto, entraram de manhã cedo no templo, e ensinavam. Chegando, porém, o sumo sacerdote e os que estavam com ele, convocaram o conselho, e a todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel, e enviaram ao cárcere, para que de lá os trouxessem.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
Mas, tendo lá chegado os servidores, não os acharam na prisão, e, voltando, lho anunciaram,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
Dizendo: achamos realmente o cárcere fechado, com toda a segurança, e os guardas, que estavam fora, diante das portas; mas, quando abrimos, ninguém achamos dentro.
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
Então o capitão do templo e os principais dos sacerdotes, ouvindo estas palavras, estavam perplexos acerca do que viria a ser aquilo.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
E, chegando um, anunciou-lhes, dizendo: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo e ensinam ao povo.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
Então foi o capitão com os servidores, e os trouxe, não com violência (porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo).
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
E, trazendo-os, os apresentaram ao conselho. E o sumo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Não vos admoestamos nós expressamente que não ensinasseis nesse nome? E eis que já enchestes Jerusalém dessa vossa doutrina, e quereis trazer sobre nós o sangue desse homem
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Porém, respondendo Pedro e os apóstolos, disseram: Mais importa obedecer a Deus do que aos homens.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
O Deus de nossos pais resuscitou a Jesus, ao qual vós matastes suspendendo-o no madeiro.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Deus com a sua dextra o elevou a príncipe e Salvador, para dar a Israel o arrependimento e remissão dos pecados.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
E nós somos testemunhas acerca destas palavras, e também o Espírito Santo, que Deus deu àqueles que lhe obedecem.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
E, ouvindo eles isto, se enfureciam, e deliberaram mata-los.
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
Mas, levantando-se no conselho um certo fariseo, chamado Gamaliel, doutor da lei, venerado por todo o povo, mandou que por um pouco levassem para fora os apóstolos;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
E disse-lhes: Varões israelitas, acautelai-vos, enquanto ao que haveis de fazer acerca desses homens.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
Porque antes destes dias levantou-se Theudas, dizendo ser alguém: deste se acercou o número de uns quatrocentos homens; o qual foi morto, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos e reduzidos a nada.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Depois deste levantou-se Judas, o galileu, nos dias do alistamento, e levou muito povo após si; e também este pereceu, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
E agora digo-vos: dai de mão a estes homens, e deixai-os, porque, se esse desígnio, ou essa obra, é de homens, se desfará,
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Mas, se é de Deus, não podereis desfaze-la; para que não aconteça serdes também achados combatendo contra Deus.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
E concordaram com ele. E, chamando os apóstolos, e tendo-os açoitado, mandaram que não falassem no nome de Jesus, e os deixaram ir.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
Retiraram-se pois da presença do conselho, rogozijando-se de terem sido julgados dignos de padecer afronta pelo nome de Jesus.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
E todos os dias, no templo e nas casas, não cessavam de ensinar, e de anunciar a Jesus Cristo.
