Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;
E succedeu que, emquanto Apollo estava em Corintho, Paulo, tendo passado por todas as regiões superiores, chegou a Epheso; e, achando ali alguns discipulos,
2 and he said unto them—Holy Spirit, received ye, when ye believed? And they said unto him—Nay! not even whether there is Holy Spirit, did we hear.
Disse-lhes: Recebestes vós já o Espirito Sancto quando crêstes? E elles disseram-lhe: Antes nem ainda ouvimos que haja Espirito Sancto.
3 And he said—Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said—Unto John’s immersion.
Disse-lhes então: Em que sois baptizados então? E elles disseram: No baptismo de João.
4 Then said Paul—John, immersed with an immersion of repentance, unto the people, saying, that, on him who was coming after him, they should believe, —that is, on Jesus.
Porém Paulo disse: Certamente João baptizou com o baptismo do arrependimento, dizendo ao povo que crêsse no que após elle havia de vir, isto é, em Jesus Christo.
5 And, when they heard [this], they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
E os que ouviram foram baptizados em nome do Senhor Jesus.
6 and, Paul laying hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
E, impondo-lhes Paulo as mãos, veiu sobre elles o Espirito Sancto; e fallavam diversas linguas, e prophetizavam.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
E estes eram, ao todo, quasi doze varões.
8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
E, entrando na synagoga, fallou ousadamente por espaço de tres mezes, disputando e persuadindo ácerca do reino de Deus.
9 But, when some were hardening themselves, and refusing to be persuaded, speaking evil of the Way before the throng, withdrawing from them, he separated the disciples; day by day, reasoning in the school of Tyrannus.
Mas, endurecendo-se alguns, e não obedecendo, e fallando mal do caminho do Senhor perante a multidão, retirou-se d'elles, e separou os discipulos, disputando todos os dias na escola de um certo Tyranno.
10 And, this, took place for two years, so that, all who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
E durou isto por espaço de dois annos; de tal maneira que todos os que habitavam na Asia, ouviram a palavra do Senhor Jesus, assim judeos como gregos.
11 Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul;
E Deus pelas mãos de Paulo fazia maravilhas extraordinarias.
12 so that, even unto the sick, were being carried from his body, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases were departing from them, and, the wicked spirits, were going out.
De tal maneira que até os lenços e aventaes do seu corpo se levavam aos enfermos, e as enfermidades fugiam d'elles, e os espiritos malignos sahiam.
13 But certain also of the wandering Jews, exorcists, took in hand to be naming, over them that had the wicked spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying—I adjure you, by Jesus whom Paul proclaimeth!
E alguns dos exorcistas judeos vagabundos tentavam invocar o nome do Senhor Jesus sobre os que tinham espiritos malignos, dizendo: Esconjuramos-vos por Jesus a quem Paulo préga.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a High-priest, who, this thing, were doing.
E os que faziam isto eram sete filhos de Sceva, judeo, principal dos sacerdotes.
15 But the wicked spirit. Answering, said unto them—Jesus, [indeed], I am getting to know, and, Paul, I well-know, —but who are, ye?
Respondendo, porém, o espirito maligno, disse: Conheço a Jesus, e bem sei quem é Paulo; porém vós quem sois
16 And the man in whom was the wicked spirit, springing upon them, mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that, naked and wounded, fled they out of that house.
E, saltando n'elles o homem em que estava o espirito maligno, e assenhoreando-se d'elles, poude mais do que elles; de tal maneira que, nús e feridos, fugiram d'aquella casa.
17 And, this, became known to all—both Jews and Greeks—who were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
E foi isto notorio a todos os que habitavam em Epheso, tanto judeos como gregos; e caiu temor sobre todos elles, e o nome do Senhor Jesus era engrandecido.
18 Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.
E muitos dos que criam vinham, confessando e publicando os seus feitos.
19 And, a good many of them who had practised the curious arts, bringing together the books, were burning them before all; and they reckoned up the prices of them, and found them fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Tambem muitos dos que seguiam artes curiosas trouxeram os seus livros, e os queimaram na presença de todos, e, feita a conta do seu preço, acharam que montava a cincoenta mil peças de prata.
20 Thus, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.
Assim a palavra do Senhor crescia poderosamente e prevalecia.
21 Now, when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit, going through Macedonia and Achaia, to be journeying unto Jerusalem, saying—After I have been there, Rome also, must I see!
E, cumpridas estas coisas, Paulo propoz-se, em espirito, ir a Jerusalem, passando pela Macedonia e pela Achaia, dizendo: Depois que houver estado ali, importa-me vêr tambem Roma.
22 And, sending off into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself, held on awhile in Asia.
E, enviando á Macedonia dois d'aquelles que o serviam, Timotheo e Erasto, ficou elle por algum tempo na Asia.
23 And there arose during that season no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Porém, n'aquelle mesmo tempo, houve um não pequeno alvoroço ácerca do caminho do Senhor.
24 For, one Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making [silver] shrines, of Diana, used to bring unto the craftsmen no little business;
Porque um certo ourives da prata, por nome Demetrio, que fazia de prata nichos de Diana, dava não pouco lucro aos artifices,
25 gathering whom together, and them who in such things wrought, he said—Men! ye well know that, by this business, we have our prosperity;
Aos quaes, havendo-os ajuntado com os officiaes de obras similhantes, disse: Varões, vós bem sabeis que d'este officio temos a nossa prosperidade:
26 and ye perceive and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but well-nigh in all Asia, this Paul, hath persuaded and turned away a considerable multitude, saying that they are, no gods, which, with hands, are made.
E bem vêdes e ouvis que não só em Epheso, mas até quasi em toda a Asia, este Paulo tem persuadido e afastado uma grande multidão, dizendo que não são deuses os que se fazem com as mãos.
27 And, not only is there danger that this our heritage into ill-repute may come, but even that the temple, of the great Goddess Diana, for nothing, may be counted; also that, even on the point of being pulled down, may be Her Majesty, whom, all Asia and the habitable world, do worship.
E não sómente ha o perigo de que isto venha a servir-nos de desprezo, mas tambem de que o proprio templo da grande deusa Diana seja estimado em nada, e de que a sua magestade, a qual toda a Asia e o mundo inteiro veneram, venha a ser destruida.
28 Now, hearing this, and becoming full of wrath, they began crying aloud, saying—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
E, ouvindo-o, encheram-se de ira, e clamaram, dizendo: Grande é a Diana dos ephesios.
29 And the city was filled with the confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, carrying off with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
E encheu-se de confusão toda a cidade; e unanimes arremetteram ao theatro, arrebatando comsigo a Gaio e a Aristarcho, macedonios, companheiros de Paulo na viagem.
30 But, Paul, being minded to enter in among the populace, the disciples would not suffer him.
E, querendo Paulo apresentar-se ao povo, não lh'o permittiram os discipulos.
31 Moreover, certain of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sending unto him, were beseeching him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
E tambem alguns dos principaes da Asia, que eram seus amigos, lhe enviaram, rogando que não se apresentasse no theatro.
32 Others, indeed, were crying out something else; for the assembly had become confused, and, the greater part, knew not for what cause they had come together.
Uns pois clamavam de uma maneira, outros d'outra, porque o ajuntamento era confuso; e os mais d'elles não sabiam por que causa se tinham ajuntado.
33 Howbeit, out of the multitude, they bare aloft one Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward; Alexander, however, waving his hand, was wishing to make his defense unto the populace.
Então tiraram Alexandre d'entre a multidão, impellindo-o os judeos para diante; e Alexandre, acenando com a mão, queria dar razão d'isto ao povo.
34 But, recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all for about two hours, as they cried aloud—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Porém, conhecendo que era judeo, todos unanimemente levantaram a voz, clamando por espaço de quasi duas horas: Grande é a Diana dos ephesios.
35 Howbeit the town-clerk, having calmed the multitude, saith—Ephesians! why, who is there of mankind that doth not acknowledge the city of Ephesians to be temple-keeper of the Great Diana, and of the [image] that fell from Jupiter?
Então o escrivão da cidade, tendo apaziguado a multidão, disse: Varões ephesios, qual é o homem que não sabe que a cidade dos ephesios é a guardadora do templo da grande deusa Diana, e da imagem que desceu de Jupiter?
36 As these things, then, cannot be denied, it is needful that ye be calmed at once, and, nothing rash, be doing.
De sorte que, não podendo isto ser contradito, convém que vos applaqueis, e nada façaes temerariamente;
37 For ye have brought these men, neither as temple-robbers, nor as defaming our goddess.
Porque estes homens que aqui trouxestes nem são sacrilegos nem blasphemam da vossa deusa:
38 If then, Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have against anyone an accusation, courts, are being held, and there are, proconsuls: let them accuse one another!
Porém, se Demetrio e os artifices que estão com elle teem alguma coisa contra alguem, dão-se audiencias e ha proconsules: que se accusem uns aos outros;
39 But, if after, something further, ye are seeking, in the regular assembly shall it be settled.
E, se alguma outra coisa demandaes, averiguar-se-ha em legitimo ajuntamento.
40 For we are, even in danger of being accused of riot, concerning this day, no cause at all, existing, by reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Porque corremos perigo de que, por hoje, sejamos accusados de sedição, não havendo causa alguma com que possamos justificar este concurso.
41 And, these things, having said, he dismissed the assembly.
E, tendo dito isto, despediu o ajuntamento.
