Acts 16
1 And he came to the city Derbe, and to Lystra. And there was a certain disciple there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but his father was a Gentile.
E ele veio a Derbe e Listra; e eis que estava ali um certo discípulo, de nome Timóteo, filho de uma certa mulher judia crente, mas de pai grego.
2 And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
Do qual era [bem] testemunhado pelos irmãos [que estavam] em Listra e Icônio.
3 Him Paul was disposed to take with him: and he took him, and circumcised him, because of the Jews that were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
A este Paulo quis que fosse com ele; e tomando-o, circuncidou-o, por causa dos judeus, que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos conheciam o pai dele, que era grego.
4 And as they went among the cities, they preached and taught them, that they should observe those injunctions which the legates and Elders at Jerusalem had written.
E eles, passando pelas cidades, entregavam-lhes as ordenanças que foram determinadas pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém, para que [as] guardassem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
E assim as Igrejas eram firmadas na fé, e cada dia aumentavam em número.
6 And they travelled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Holy Spirit forbid them to speak the word of God in Asia.
E passando pela Frígia, e pela região da Galácia, foi-lhes impedido pelo Espírito Santo de falarem a palavra na Ásia.
7 And when they came into the region of Mysia, they were disposed to go from there into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus permitted them not.
[E] quando eles vieram a Mísia, tentaram ir à Bitínia; mas o Espírito não lhes permitiu.
8 And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
E tendo passado por Mísia, desceram a Trôade.
9 And in a vision of the night, there appeared unto Paul, a man of Macedonia, who stood and besought him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help us.
E uma visão foi vista por Paulo durante a noite: um homem Macedônio se pôs [diante dele], rogando-lhe, e dizendo: Passa à Macedônia, e ajuda-nos!
10 And when Paul had seen this vision, immediately we were desirous to depart for Macedonia; because we inferred, that our Lord called us to preach to them.
E quando ele viu a visão, logo procuramos partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que o Senhor estava nos chamando para anunciarmos o Evangelho a eles.
11 And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
Então, tendo navegado desde Trôade, viemos correndo caminho direto a Samotrácia, e no [dia] seguinte a Neápolis.
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of Macedonia, and is a colony. And we remained in that city certain days.
E dali a Filipos, que é a primeira cidade desta parte da Macedônia, [e é] uma colônia; e estivemos naquela cidade [por] alguns dias.
13 And on the sabbath day, we went without the gate of the city to the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we were seated, we conversed with the women who there assembled.
E no dia de sábado saímos para fora da cidade, onde costumava ser feita oração; e tendo [nos] sentado, falamos às mulheres que tinham se ajuntado [ali].
14 And a certain woman who feared God, a seller of purple, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Her heart our Lord opened, and she hearkened to what Paul spake.
E uma certa mulher, por nome Lídia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Tiatira, que servia a Deus; [ela nos] ouviu; o coração da qual o Senhor abriu, para que prestasse atenção ao que Paulo dizia.
15 And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much.
E quando ela foi batizada, e [também] sua casa, ela [nos] rogou, dizendo: Se vós tendes julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa e ficai ali. E ela insistiu para conosco.
16 And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed.
E aconteceu, que ao estarmos nós indo à oração, saiu ao nosso encontro uma moça que tinha espírito de pitonisa; a qual ao fazer adivinhações trazia grande lucro a seus senhores.
17 And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.
Esta, seguindo após Paulo e nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens são servos do Deus Altíssimo, que nos anunciam o caminho da salvação.
18 And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
E ela fazia isto por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, estando descontente com isto, virou-se, e disse ao espírito: Em nome de Jesus Cristo eu te mando que saias dela. E na mesma hora [o espírito] saiu.
19 And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place,
E os senhores dela, vendo que a esperança de lucro deles tinha ido embora, pegaram a Paulo e a Silas, e [os] levaram à praça, diante dos governantes.
20 and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
E apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens perturbam nossa cidade, sendo judeus;
21 and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
E eles anunciam costumes que não nos é lícito receber, nem fazer; pois somos romanos.
22 And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra eles; e os oficiais, rasgando suas roupas, mandaram que fossem açoitados.
23 And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care.
E tendo sido lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse em segurança.
24 And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks.
O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, lançou-os na cela mais interna, e prendeu-lhes os pés no tronco.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
E perto da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas [estavam] orando, e cantando hinos a Deus; [e] os [outros] presos os escutavam.
26 And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
E de repente houve um terremoto tão grande que os alicerces da prisão se moviam; e logo todas as portas se abriram, e todas as correntes [que prendiam] a todos se soltaram.
27 And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped.
E o carcereiro, tendo acordado e visto abertas todas as portas da prisão; puxou a espada, [e] estava a ponto de se matar, pensando que os presos tinham fugido.
28 But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Mas Paulo clamou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos nós estamos aqui.
29 And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
E tendo pedido luzes, saltou para dentro, e termendo muito, ele se prostrou diante de Paulo e Silas.
30 And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
E levando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, o que me é necessário fazer para eu me salvar?
31 And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
E eles [lhe] disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Cristo, e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
E lhe falaram da palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.
E ele, tomando-os consigo, naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou [-lhes] as feridas dos açoites, e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.
34 And he took them and brought them into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced in the faith of God, he and all the members of his house.
E tendo os levado a sua casa, pôs [comida] diante deles à mesa; e alegrou-se muito, tendo crido em Deus com toda a sua casa.
35 And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
E sendo [já] de dia, os magistrados mandaram aos guardas, dizendo: Solta aqueles homens.
36 And when the superior of the prison heard it, he went in, and said the same thing to Paul; namely, that the prefects have sent word that ye be set free. And now, said he, Go ye out, and depart in peace.
E o carcereiro anunciou estas palavras a Paulo, [dizendo]: Os magistrados têm mandado vos soltar; portanto agora saí, e ide em paz.
37 But Paul said to him: They have scourged us, unoffending men, and Romans, before all the world, and have cast us into prison; and now, do they secretly let us out? No, surely: but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Mas Paulo lhes disse: Eles nos açoitaram publicamente, e sem sermos sentenciados, sendo nós homens romanos, lançaram-nos na prisão, e agora nos lançam fora às escondidas? [Assim] não! Mas que eles mesmos venham e nos tirem.
38 And the rod-bearers went and told to the prefects the words which were told to them: and when they heard that they were Romans, they were afraid,
E os guardas voltaram para dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e eles temeram ao ouvirem que eram romanos.
39 and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
E tendo vindo, rogaram-lhes; e tirando-os, pediram [-lhes] que saíssem da cidade.
40 And when they came out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brethren, and comforted them, and departed.
E eles, tendo saído da prisão, entraram [na casa] de Lídia; e vendo aos irmãos, consolaram-lhes; e saíram.
