Acts 1
1 The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and 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 when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit he had chosen, he was taken up;
Até ao dia em que foi recebido em cima, depois de ter dado mandamentos, pelo Espirito Sancto, aos apostolos que escolhera;
3 Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
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 And being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have heard of 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 Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
Porque, na verdade, João baptizou com agua, porém vós sereis baptizados com o Espirito Sancto, não muito depois d'estes dias.
6 They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?
Aquelles pois que se haviam ajuntado perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Senhor, restaurarás tu n'este tempo o reino a Israel?
7 He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in 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 ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
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 And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
E, havendo dito estas coisas, vendo-o elles, foi elevado ás alturas, e uma nuvem o recebeu, occultando-o a seus olhos.
10 And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
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—Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.
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 returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
Então voltaram para Jerusalem, do monte chamado das Oliveiras, o qual está perto de Jerusalem, á distancia do caminho de um sabbado.
13 And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and 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 These all were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Todos estes perseveravam unanimemente em orações e supplicas, com as mulheres, e Maria mãe de Jesus, e com seus irmãos.
15 And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty, —
E n'aquelles dias, levantando-se Pedro no meio dos discipulos, disse (ora a multidão junta era de quasi cento e vinte pessoas):
16 Brethren! It was needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended 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 that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
Porque foi contado comnosco e alcançou sorte n'este ministerio.
18 This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
Ora este adquiriu um campo com o galardão da iniquidade; e, precipitando-se, arrebentou pelo meio, e todas as suas entranhas se derramaram.
19 And it became known unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, that is, 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 book of Psalms: Let his encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
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 It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over 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 immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
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 And they appointed 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 And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
E, orando, disseram: Tu, Senhor, conhecedor dos corações de todos, mostra qual d'estes dois tens escolhido,
25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto 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 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon 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.
