Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
E, passando por Amphipolis e Apollonia, chegaram a Thessalonica, onde havia uma synagoga de judeos.
2 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
E Paulo, como tinha por costume, foi ter com elles; e por tres sabbados disputou com elles sobre as Escripturas,
3 opening and alleging that it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that “this is the Christ—Jesus whom I proclaim to you.”
Declarando-as, e demonstrando que convinha que o Christo padecesse e resuscitasse dos mortos. E este Jesus, que vos annuncio, dizia elle, é o Christo.
4 And certain of them believed, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also a great multitude of the worshiping Greeks, also not a few of the principal women.
E alguns d'elles crêram, e ajuntaram-se com Paulo e Silas uma grande multidão de gregos religiosos, e não poucas mulheres principaes.
5 And the Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to themselves certain evil men of the agitators, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having also assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,
Porém os judeos desobedientes, movidos d'inveja, tomaram comsigo alguns homens malignos, d'entre os vadios, e, ajuntando o povo, alvoroçaram a cidade, e, accommettendo a casa de Jason, procuravam tiral-os para junto do povo.
6 and having not found them, they drew Jason and certain brothers to the city rulers, calling aloud, “These, having put the world in commotion, are also present here,
E, não os achando, trouxeram com violencia a Jason, e alguns irmãos, aos magistrados da cidade, clamando: Estes que teem alvoroçado o mundo, chegaram tambem aqui;
7 whom Jason has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king—Jesus.”
Os quaes Jason tem recolhido; e todos estes obram contra os mandados de Cesar, dizendo que ha outro rei, a saber, Jesus.
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
E alvoroçaram a multidão e os principaes da cidade, que ouviram estas coisas.
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Tendo, porém, recebido satisfação de Jason, e dos demais, os soltaram.
10 And the brothers immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went into the synagogue of the Jews;
E logo os irmãos enviaram de noite Paulo e Silas a Berea: os quaes, chegando lá, foram á synagoga dos judeos.
11 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Writings every day [to see] whether those things were so;
E estes foram mais nobres do que os que estavam em Thessalonica, porque de bom grado receberam a palavra, examinando cada dia nas Escripturas se estas coisas eram assim.
12 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
De sorte que crêram muitos d'elles, e mulheres gregas honestas, e não poucos varões.
13 And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came there also, agitating the multitudes;
Mas, logo que os judeos de Thessalonica souberam que a palavra de Deus tambem era annunciada por Paulo em Berea, foram tambem lá, e commoveram as multidões.
14 and then immediately the brothers sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timotheus were remaining there.
Porém no mesmo instante os irmãos mandaram a Paulo que fosse como para o mar, mas Silas e Timotheo ficaram ali.
15 And those conducting Paul, brought him to Athens, and having received a command to Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come to him, they departed;
E os que acompanhavam Paulo o levaram até Athenas, e, recebendo ordem para que Silas e Timotheo fossem ter com elle o mais depressa possivel, partiram.
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
E, emquanto Paulo os esperava em Athenas, o seu espirito se commovia em si mesmo, vendo a cidade tão dada á idolatria.
17 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshiping persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met with him.
De sorte que disputava na synagoga com os judeos e religiosos, e todos os dias na praça com os que se apresentavam.
18 And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, “What would this seed picker wish to say?” And others, “He seems to be an announcer of strange demons”; because he proclaimed to them Jesus and the resurrection as good news,
E alguns dos philosophos epicureos e estoicos contendiam com elle; e uns diziam: Que quer dizer este paroleiro? E outros: Parece que é prégador de deuses estranhos. Porque lhes annunciava a Jesus e a resurreição.
19 having also taken him, they brought [him] to the Areopagus, saying, “Are we able to know what this new teaching [is] that is spoken by you,
E, tomando-o, o levaram ao Areopago, dizendo: Poderemos nós saber que nova doutrina é essa de que fallas?
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Pois coisas estranhas nos trazes aos ouvidos: queremos pois saber o que vem a ser isto.
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
(Pois todos os athenienses e hospedes estrangeiros de nenhuma outra coisa se occupavam, senão de dizer e ouvir alguma coisa nova).
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
E, estando Paulo no meio do Areopago, disse: Varões athenienses, em tudo vos vejo um tanto supersticiosos:
23 for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I also found an altar on which had been inscribed: To God—unknown; whom, therefore—not knowing—you worship, this One I announce to you.
Porque, passando eu e vendo os vossos sanctuarios, achei tambem um altar em que estava escripto: AO DEUS DESCONHECIDO. Aquelle pois que vós honraes, não o conhecendo, vos annuncio.
24 God, who made the world, and all things in it, this One, being Lord of Heaven and of earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
O Deus que fez o mundo e todas as coisas que n'elle ha: este, sendo Senhor do céu e da terra, não habita em templos feitos por mãos de homens;
25 neither is He served by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, and breath, and all things;
Nem tão pouco é servido por mãos de homens, como que necessitando de alguma coisa; pois é elle só quem dá a todos a vida, e a respiração, e todas as coisas;
26 He also made every nation of man of one blood, to dwell on all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—
E de um sangue fez toda a geração dos homens, para habitar sobre toda a face da terra, determinando os tempos já d'antes ordenados, e os limites da sua habitação;
27 to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
Para que buscassem ao Senhor, se porventura o podessem apalpar e achar; ainda que não está longe de cada um de nós;
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring.
Porque n'elle vivemos, e nos movemos, e existimos; como tambem alguns dos vossos poetas disseram: Porque somos tambem sua geração.
29 Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, [an] engraving of art and imagination of man;
Sendo pois geração de Deus, não havemos de cuidar que a divindade seja similhante ao oiro, ou á prata, ou á pedra esculpida por artificio e imaginação dos homens
30 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
De sorte que Deus, dissimulando os tempos da ignorancia, annuncia agora a todos os homens, e em todo o logar, que se arrependam;
31 because He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a Man whom He ordained, having given assurance to all, having raised Him out of the dead.”
Porquanto tem determinado um dia em que com justiça ha-de julgar o mundo com justiça por aquelle varão que destinou; dando certeza a todos, resuscitando-o dos mortos.
32 And having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
E, como ouviram da resurreição dos mortos, uns escarneciam, e outros diziam: Ácerca d'isso te ouviremos outra vez.
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
E assim Paulo saiu do meio d'elles.
34 and certain men having cleaved to him, believed, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
Porém, chegando alguns varões a elle, creram: entre os quaes foram Dionysio, areopagita, e uma mulher por nome Damaris, e com elles outros.
