Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
E por aquelle mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da egreja, para os maltratar;
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
E matou á espada Thiago, irmão de João.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
E, vendo que isso agradára aos judeos, continuou, mandando prender tambem a Pedro. E eram os dias dos asmos.
4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
E, havendo-o prendido, o encerrou na prisão, entregando-o a quatro quaternos de soldados, para que o guardassem, querendo apresental-o ao povo depois da paschoa.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão; porém a egreja fazia continua oração por elle a Deus.
6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
E quando Herodes o havia de tirar, n'aquella mesma noite, estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, ligado com duas cadeias, e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
7 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.
E eis que sobreveiu o anjo do Senhor, e resplandeceu uma luz na prisão; e, tocando a Pedro na ilharga, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E cairam-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
8 The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
E disse-lhe o anjo: Cinge-te, e ata as tuas alparcas. E elle o fez assim. Disse-lhe mais: Lança ás costas a tua capa, e segue-me.
9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
E, saindo, o seguia. E não sabia que fosse verdade o que era feito pelo anjo, mas cuidava que via alguma visão.
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
E, quando passaram a primeira e segunda guarda, chegaram á porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e, tendo saido, andaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou d'elle.
11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
E Pedro, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes, e de tudo o que o povo dos judeos esperava.
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
E, considerando elle n'isto, foi a casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitos estavam juntos e orando.
13 And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
E, batendo Pedro á porta do pateo, uma menina chamada Rhode saiu a escutar;
14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
E, conhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu a porta do pateo, mas, correndo para dentro, annunciou que Pedro estava fóra á porta do pateo.
15 They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
E disseram-lhe: Estás fóra de ti. Mas ella affirmava que assim era. E diziam: É o seu anjo.
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
Porém Pedro perseverava em bater, e, quando abriram, viram-n'o, e se espantaram.
17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
E, acenando-lhes elle com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirára da prisão, e disse: Annunciae isto a Thiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro logar.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
E, sendo já dia, houve não pouco alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que seria feito de Pedro.
19 When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
E, quando Herodes o buscou e o não achou, feita inquirição aos guardas, mandou-os justiçar. E, partindo da Judea para Cesarea, ficou ali
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
E Herodes estava irritado com os de Tyro e de Sidon; porém elles, vindo de commum accordo ter com elle, e persuadindo Blasto, que era o camarista do rei, pediam paz: porquanto o seu paiz sustentava-se do paiz do rei.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
E n'um dia designado, vestindo Herodes as vestes reaes, e assentado no tribunal, lhes fez uma pratica.
22 But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
E o povo exclamava: Voz de Deus, e não de homem.
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
E no mesmo instante feriu-o o anjo do Senhor, porquanto não deu gloria a Deus, e, comido de bichos, expirou.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
E Barnabé e Saulo, havendo cumprido aquelle serviço, voltaram de Jerusalem, levando tambem comsigo a João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos.
