Acts 1
1 The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Fiz o primeiro tratado, ó Theophilo, ácerca de todas as coisas que Jesus começou, não só a fazer, mas a ensinar,
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
Até ao dia em que foi recebido em cima, depois de ter dado mandamentos, pelo Espirito Sancto, aos apostolos que escolhera;
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
Aos quaes tambem, depois de ter padecido, se apresentou vivo, com muitas e infalliveis provas, sendo visto por elles por espaço de quarenta dias, e fallando do que respeita ao reino de Deus.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
E, ajuntando-os, determinou-lhes que não se ausentassem de Jerusalem, mas que esperassem a promessa do Pae que (disse elle) de mim ouvistes.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
Porque, na verdade, João baptizou com agua, porém vós sereis baptizados com o Espirito Sancto, não muito depois d'estes dias.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
Aquelles pois que se haviam ajuntado perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Senhor, restaurarás tu n'este tempo o reino a Israel?
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
E disse-lhes: Não vos pertence saber os tempos ou as estações que o Pae poz em seu proprio poder.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
Mas recebereis a virtude do Espirito Sancto, que ha de vir sobre vós; e ser-me-heis testemunhas, tanto em Jerusalem como em toda a Judea e Samaria, e até aos confins da terra.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
E, havendo dito estas coisas, vendo-o elles, foi elevado ás alturas, e uma nuvem o recebeu, occultando-o a seus olhos.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
E, estando elles com os olhos fitos no céu, emquanto elle ia subindo, eis que junto d'elles se pozeram dois varões vestidos de branco,
11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
Os quaes então disseram: Varões galileos, porque estaes olhando para o céu? Esse Jesus, que d'entre vós foi recebido acima no céu, ha de vir assim como para o céu o vistes ir.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
Então voltaram para Jerusalem, do monte chamado das Oliveiras, o qual está perto de Jerusalem, á distancia do caminho de um sabbado.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
E, entrando, subiram ao cenaculo, onde ficaram Pedro e Thiago, João e André, Philippe e Thomé, Bartholomeo e Matheus, Thiago, filho de Alpheo, Simão, o zelador, e Judas, irmão de Thiago.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Todos estes perseveravam unanimemente em orações e supplicas, com as mulheres, e Maria mãe de Jesus, e com seus irmãos.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
E n'aquelles dias, levantando-se Pedro no meio dos discipulos, disse (ora a multidão junta era de quasi cento e vinte pessoas):
16 "Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
Varões irmãos, convinha que se cumprisse a Escriptura que o Espirito Sancto predisse pela bocca de David, ácerca de Judas, que foi o guia d'aquelles que prenderam a Jesus;
17 For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Porque foi contado comnosco e alcançou sorte n'este ministerio.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
Ora este adquiriu um campo com o galardão da iniquidade; e, precipitando-se, arrebentou pelo meio, e todas as suas entranhas se derramaram.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
E foi notorio a todos os que habitam em Jerusalem; de maneira que na sua propria lingua esse campo se chama Aceldama, isto é, Campo de sangue:
20 For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
Porque no livro dos Psalmos está escripto: Fique deserta a sua habitação, e não haja quem n'ella habite, e tome outro o seu bispado.
21 "Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
É necessario pois que, dos varões que conviveram comnosco todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus entrou e saiu d'entre nós,
22 beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
Começando desde o baptismo de João até ao dia em que d'entre nós foi recebido em cima, um d'elles se faça comnosco testemunha da sua resurreição.
23 They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
E apresentaram dois: José, chamado Barsabbás, que tinha por sobrenome o Justo, e Matthias.
24 They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
E, orando, disseram: Tu, Senhor, conhecedor dos corações de todos, mostra qual d'estes dois tens escolhido,
25 to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
Para que tome parte n'este ministerio e apostolado, de que Judas se desviou, para ir para o seu proprio logar.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
E lançaram-lhes sortes, e caiu a sorte sobre Matthias. E por voto commum foi contado com os onze apostolos.
