Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
E Saulo, respirando ainda ameaças e mortes contra os discipulos do Senhor, dirigiu-se ao summo sacerdote,
2 asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
E pediu-lhe cartas para Damasco, para as synagogas, para que, se encontrasse alguns d'aquella seita, quer homens quer mulheres, os conduzisse presos a Jerusalem.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
E, indo já no caminho, aconteceu que, chegando perto de Damasco, subitamente o cercou um resplendor de luz do céu.
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
E, caindo em terra, ouviu uma voz que lhe dizia: Saulo, Saulo, porque me persegues?
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
E elle disse: Quem és, Senhor? E disse o Senhor: Eu sou Jesus, a quem tu persegues. Duro é para ti recalcitrar contra os aguilhões.
6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
E elle, tremendo e attonito, disse: Senhor, que queres que faça? E disse-lhe o Senhor: Levanta-te, e entra na cidade, e ali te será dito o que te convem fazer.
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
E os varões, que iam com elle, pararam attonitos, ouvindo a voz, mas não vendo ninguem.
8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
E Saulo levantou-se da terra, e, abrindo os olhos, não via a ninguem. E, guiando-o pela mão, o conduziram a Damasco.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
E esteve tres dias sem vêr, e não comeu nem bebeu.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
E havia em Damasco um certo discipulo chamado Ananias; e disse-lhe o Senhor em visão: Ananias! E elle respondeu: Eis-me aqui, Senhor.
11 and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Levanta-te, e vae á rua chamada Direita, e pergunta em casa de Judas por um chamado Saulo, de Tarso; pois eis que elle ora;
12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
E tem visto em visão que entrava um homem chamado Ananias, e punha sobre elle a mão, para que tornasse a vêr.
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
E respondeu Ananias: Senhor, a muitos ouvi ácerca d'este varão, quantos males tem feito aos teus sanctos em Jerusalem;
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
E aqui tem poder dos principaes dos sacerdotes para prender a todos os que invocam o teu nome.
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
Disse-lhe, porém, o Senhor: Vae, porque este é para mim vaso escolhido, para levar o meu nome diante dos gentios, e dos reis e dos filhos d'Israel.
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
Porque eu lhe mostrarei quanto deve padecer pelo meu nome.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
E Ananias foi, e entrou na casa, e, impondo-lhe as mãos, disse: Irmão Saulo, o Senhor Jesus, que te appareceu no caminho por onde vinhas, me enviou, para que tornes a vêr e sejas cheio do Espirito Sancto.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
E logo lhe cairam dos olhos como que umas escamas, e recebeu logo a vista; e, levantando-se, foi baptizado.
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
E, tendo comido, ficou confortado. E esteve Saulo alguns dias com os discipulos que estavam em Damasco.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
E logo nas synagogas prégava a Jesus, que este era o Filho de Deus.
21 And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
E todos os que o ouviam estavam attonitos, e diziam: Não é este aquelle que em Jerusalem assolava aos que invocavam esse nome, e para isso veiu aqui, para os levar presos aos principaes dos sacerdotes?
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Porém Saulo se esforçava muito mais, e confundia os judeos que habitavam em Damasco, provando que aquelle era o Christo.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
E, tendo passado muitos dias, os judeos tomaram conselho entre si para o matar.
24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
Mas as suas ciladas vieram ao conhecimento de Saulo: e elles guardavam as portas, tanto de dia como de noite, para poderem matal-o.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Porém, tomando-o de noite os discipulos, o arriaram, dentro d'um cesto, pelo muro.
26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
E, quando Saulo chegou a Jerusalem, procurava ajuntar-se aos discipulos, porém todos se temiam d'elle, não crendo que fosse discipulo.
27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
Mas Barnabé, tomando-o comsigo, o trouxe aos apostolos, e lhes contou como no caminho elle vira ao Senhor e lhe fallara, e como em Damasco fallara ousadamente no nome de Jesus.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
E andava com elles em Jerusalem, entrando e saindo.
29 and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
E fallou ousadamente no nome de Jesus. Fallava e disputava tambem contra os gregos, mas elles procuravam matal-o.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Sabendo-o, porém, os irmãos, o acompanharam até Cesarea, e o enviaram a Tarso.
31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Assim pois, as egrejas em toda a Judea, e Galilea e Samaria tinham paz, e eram edificadas; e se multiplicavam, andando no temor do Senhor e consolação do Espirito Sancto.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
E aconteceu que, passando Pedro por todas as partes, veiu tambem aos sanctos que habitavam em Lydda.
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
E achou ali um certo homem, chamado Eneas, jazendo n'uma cama havia oito annos, o qual era paralytico.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
E disse-lhe Pedro: Eneas, Jesus Christo te dá saude; levanta-te e faze a tua cama. E logo se levantou.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
E viram-n'o todos os que habitavam em Lydda e Sarona, os quaes se converteram ao Senhor.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
E havia em Joppe uma certa discipula chamada Tabitha, que traduzido se diz Dorcas. Esta estava cheia de boas obras e esmolas que fazia.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
E aconteceu n'aquelles dias, que, enfermando ella, morreu; e, tendo-a lavado, a depositaram n'um quarto alto.
38 and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
E, como Lydda era perto de Joppe, ouvindo os discipulos que Pedro estava ali, lhe mandaram dois varões, rogando-lhe que não se demorasse em vir ter com elles.
39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
E, levantando-se Pedro, foi com elles; e quando chegou o levaram ao quarto alto, e todas as viuvas o rodearam, chorando e mostrando as tunicas e vestidos que Dorcas fizera quando estava com ellas.
40 And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
Porém Pedro, fazendo-as sair a todas, poz-se de joelhos e orou: e, voltando-se para o corpo, disse: Tabitha, levanta-te. E ella abriu os olhos, e, vendo a Pedro, assentou-se,
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
E elle dando-lhe a mão a levantou, e, chamando os sanctos e as viuvas, apresentou-lh'a viva.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
E foi isto notorio por toda a Joppe, e muitos crêram no Senhor.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
E aconteceu que ficou muitos dias em Joppe, com um certo Simão curtidor.
