Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brethren throughout Judaea heard that the gentiles also had received the word of God.
E ouviram os apostolos, e os irmãos que estavam na Judea, que tambem os gentios receberam a palavra de Deus.
2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
E, subindo Pedro a Jerusalem, disputavam com elle os que eram da circumcisão,
3 saying, Thou didst go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
Dizendo: Entraste em casa de varões incircumcisos, e comeste com elles.
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter to them in order from the beginning, saying,
Mas Pedro começou a contar-lhes tudo por ordem, dizendo:
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a sort of vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even to me;
Estando eu orando na cidade de Joppe, vi, arrebatado dos sentidos, uma visão, um certo vaso, como um grande lençol que descia do céu e, baixado, vinha até junto de mim
6 on which fixing my eyes, I observed, and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the air.
No qual, pondo eu os olhos, considerei, e vi animaes da terra, quadrupedes, e féras, e reptis, e aves do céu.
7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
E ouvi uma voz que me dizia: Levanta-te, Pedro; mata e come.
8 But I said, Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean ever entered my mouth.
Porém eu disse: De maneira nenhuma, Senhor; pois nunca em minha bocca entrou coisa alguma commum ou immunda.
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
Mas a voz respondeu-me do céu segunda vez: Não chames tu commum ao que Deus purificou.
10 And this was done three times; and all were again drawn up into heaven.
E succedeu isto por tres vezes; e tudo tornou a recolher-se no céu.
11 And lo! immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
E eis que, na mesma hora, pararam junto da casa em que eu estava tres varões que me foram enviados de Cesarea.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entered the man's house.
E disse-me o Espirito que fosse com elles, não duvidando; e tambem estes seis irmãos foram comigo, e entrámos em casa d'aquelle varão;
13 And he told us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, surnamed Peter;
E contou-nos como vira estar um anjo em sua casa, e lhe dissera: Envia varões a Joppe, e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro,
14 who will speak to thee words by which thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
O qual te dirá palavras com que te salves, tu e toda a tua casa.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
E, quando comecei a fallar, caiu sobre elles o Espirito Sancto como tambem sobre nós ao principio.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, that he said, John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
E lembrei-me do dito do Senhor, quando disse: João certamente baptizou com agua: mas vós sereis baptizados com o Espirito Sancto.
17 Since then God gave the like gift to them as to us, on believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?
Portanto, se Deus lhes deu o mesmo dom que a nós, que tambem já havemos crido no Senhor Jesus Christo, quem era então eu, para que podesse estorvar a Deus?
18 And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, So then to the gentiles also God hath granted repentance unto life.
E, ouvindo estas coisas, apaziguaram-se, e glorificaram a Deus, dizendo: De maneira que até aos gentios deu Deus o arrependimento para a vida.
19 Now they who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose on account of Stephen traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.
E os que foram dispersos pela perseguição que succedeu por causa d'Estevão caminharam até á Phenicia, Chypre e Antiochia, não annunciando a ninguem a palavra, senão só aos judeos.
20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
E havia entre elles alguns varões chyprios e cyrenenses, os quaes, entrando em Antiochia, fallaram aos gregos, annunciando o Senhor Jesus.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
E a mão do Senhor era com elles; e grande numero creu e se converteu ao Senhor.
22 But the talk concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem; and they sent forth Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch;
E chegou a fama d'isto aos ouvidos da egreja que estava em Jerusalem; e enviaram Barnabé á Antiochia.
23 who, when he came, and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all to cleave to the Lord with purpose of heart;
O qual, quando chegou, e viu a graça de Deus, se alegrou, e exhortou a todos a que permanecessem no Senhor com proposito do coração.
24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Porque era homem de bem, e cheio do Espirito Sancto e de fé. E muita gente se uniu ao Senhor.
25 And he went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;
E partiu Barnabé para Tarso, a buscar Saulo; e, achando-o, o conduziu para Antiochia.
26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that for a whole year they came together in the church, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
E succedeu que todo um anno se congregaram n'aquella egreja, e ensinaram muita gente; e em Antiochia foram os discipulos, pela primeira vez, chamados christãos.
27 And in those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
E n'aquelles dias desceram prophetas de Jerusalem para Antiochia.
28 And one of them named Agabus stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there was about to be a great famine over the whole world; which came to pass in the days of Claudius.
E, levantando-se um d'elles, por nome Agabo, dava a entender, pelo Espirito, que haveria uma grande fome em todo o mundo, a qual aconteceu no tempo de Claudio Cesar.
29 And according as any one of the disciples was prospered, they determined every one of them to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea;
E os discipulos determinaram mandar, cada um conforme o que podesse, soccorro para serviço dos irmãos que habitavam na Judea.
30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
O que elles com effeito fizeram, enviando-o aos anciãos por mão de Barnabé e de Saulo.
