Acts 28
1 And we afterwards learned, that the island was called Melita.
E tendo sobrevivido, então souberam que a ilha se chamava Malta.
2 And the barbarians who inhabited it, showed us many kindnesses. And they kindled a fire, and called us all to warm ourselves, because of the great rain and cold at that time.
E os nativos demonstraram para conosco uma benevolência incomum; porque, tendo acendido uma fogueira, recolheram a nós todos, por causa da chuva que estava caindo, e por causa do frio.
3 And Paul took up a bundle of fagots and laid them on the fire: and a viper, driven by the heat, came out of them, and bit his hand.
E tendo Paulo recolhido uma quantidade de gravetos, e pondo-os no fogo, saiu uma víbora do calor, e fixou [os dentes] na mão dele.
4 And when the barbarians saw it hanging on his hand, they said: Doubtless, this man is a murderer; whom, though delivered from the sea, justice will not suffer to live.
E quando os nativos vieram o animal pendurado na mão dele, disseram uns aos outros: Certamente este homem é assassino, ao qual, tendo sobrevivido do mar, a justiça não o deixa viver.
5 But Paul shook his hand, and threw the viper into the fire: and he received no harm.
Porém, ele, tendo sacudido o animal ao fogo, sofreu nenhum mal.
6 And the barbarians expected, that he would suddenly swell, and fall dead on the ground. And when they had looked a long time, and saw that he received no harm; they changed their language, and said, that he was a god.
E eles esperavam que ele fosse inchar, ou cair morto de repente. Mas tendo esperado muito, e vendo que nenhum incômodo tinha lhe sobrevindo, mudaram [de opinião], e diziam que ele era um deus.
7 And there were lands in that quarter, belonging to a man named Publius, who was the chief man of the island: and he cheerfully received us at his house three days.
E perto daquele mesmo lugar o homem mais importante da ilha, por nome Públio, tinha algumas propriedades; o qual nos recebeu e nos hospedou por três dias gentilmente.
8 And the father of Publius was sick with a fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hand on him, and healed him.
E aconteceu que o pai de Públio estava de cama, doente de febres e disenteria; ao qual Paulo entrou, e tendo orado, pôs as mãos sobre ele, e o curou.
9 And after this event, others also in the island who were sick, came to him and were healed.
Tendo então isto acontecido, também vieram a ele outros que tinham enfermidades, e foram curados;
10 And they honored us with great honors: and when we left the place, they supplied us with necessaries.
Os quais nos honraram com muitas honras; e estando [nós] para navegar, [nos] entregaram as coisas necessárias.
11 And after three months we departed, sailing in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, and which bore the signal of the Twins.
E três meses depois, nós partimos em um navio de Alexandria, que tinha passado o inverno na ilha; o qual tinha como símbolo os gêmeos Castor e Pólux.
12 And we came to the city of Syracuse; and remained there three days.
E chegando a Siracusa, ficamos [ali] três dias.
13 And from there we made a circuit, and arrived at the city Rhegium. And, after one day, the south wind blew favorably for us, and in two days we came to Puteoli, a city of Italy.
De onde, tendo indo ao redor da costa, chegamos a Régio; e um dia depois, ventando ao sul, viemos o segundo dia a Putéoli.
14 And there we found brethren; and they invited us, and we remained with them seven days: and then we proceeded towards Rome.
Onde, tendo achado [alguns] irmãos, eles nos rogaram que ficássemos com eles por sete dias; e assim viemos a Roma.
15 And the brethren there, hearing of our approach, came out to meet us as far as the village called Appii Forum, and as far as the Three Taverns. And when Paul saw them, he gave thanks to God, and was encouraged.
E os irmãos, ao ouvirem [notícias] sobre nós, desde lá nos saíram ao encontro até a praça de Ápio, e as três tavernas; e Paulo, tendo os visto, agradeceu a Deus, e tomou coragem.
16 And we went on to Rome. And the centurion allowed Paul to reside where he pleased, with a soldier who guarded him.
E quando chegamos a Roma, a Paulo foi permitido morar por si mesmo à parte, junto com o soldado que o guardava.
17 And after three days, Paul sent and called for the principal Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, my brethren, although I had in nothing risen up against the people or the law of my fathers, I was at Jerusalem delivered over in bonds to the Romans:
E aconteceu que, três dias depois, Paulo chamou juntos os chefes dos judeus; e ao se reunirem, disse-lhes: Homens irmãos, tendo eu nada feito contra o povo, ou contra os costumes dos pais, [mesmo assim] eu vim preso desde Jerusalém, entregue em mãos dos romanos.
18 and they, when they had examined me, were disposed to release me, because they found in me no offence deserving death.
Os quais, tendo me investigado, queriam [me] soltar, por não haver em mim nenhum crime de morte.
19 And, as the Jews withstood me, I was compelled to utter an appeal to Caesar; but not because I had any thing of which to accuse the people of my nation.
Mas os judeus, dizendo em contrário, eu fui forçado a apelar a César; [mas] não como que eu tenha que acusar a minha nação.
20 For this reason I sent for you to come, that I might see you, and might state these things to you: for it is on account of the hope of Israel, that I am bound with this chain.
Então por esta causa eu vos chamei até mim, para [vos] ver e falar; porque pela esperança de Israel eu estou agora preso nesta corrente.
21 They said to him: We have received no epistle from Judaea against thee; and none of the brethren who have come from Jerusalem, have told us any evil thing of thee.
Mas eles lhe disseram: Nós nem recebemos cartas da Judeia relacionadas a ti, nem algum dos irmãos, tendo vindo aqui, tem nos informado ou falado de ti algum mal.
22 But we are desirous to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for this doctrine, we know, is not received by any one.
Mas nós queríamos ouvir de ti o que tu pensas; porque, quanto a esta seita, conhecemos que em todo lugar [há quem] fale contra ela.
23 And they appointed him a day; and many assembled, and came to him at his lodgings. And he explained to them respecting the kingdom of God, testifying and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
E tendo eles lhe determinado um dia, muitos vieram até onde ele estava morando; aos quais ele declarava e dava testemunho do Reino de Deus; e procurava persuadi-los quanto a Jesus, tanto pela Lei de Moisés, como [pelos] profetas, desde a manhã até a tarde.
24 And some of them assented to his discourses, and others did not assent.
E alguns criam nas coisas que ele dizia; mas outros não criam.
25 And they went out from him, disagreeing among themselves. And Paul addressed to them this speech: Well did the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of Isaiah the prophet, speak concerning your fathers,
E estando discordantes entre si, despediram-se, tendo Paulo disto [esta] palavra: O Espírito Santo corretamente falou a nossos pais por meio de Isaías o profeta,
26 saying: Go unto this people, and say to them, Hearing ye will hear, and will not understand; and ye will see, and will not comprehend.
Dizendo: Vai a este povo, e dize: De fato ouvireis, mas de maneira nenhuma entendereis; e de fato vereis, mas de maneira nenhuma enxergareis.
27 For the heart of this people is stupefied, and their hearing they have made heavy, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and be converted unto me, and I should forgive them.
Porque o coração deste povo está insensível, seus ouvidos ouvem com dificuldade, e seus olhos estão fechados; para que em maneira nenhuma vejam com os olhos, nem ouçam com os ouvidos, nem entendam com o coração, e se convertam, e eu os cure.
28 Therefore, be this known to you, that to the Gentiles is this redemption of God sent: and, moreover, they will hear it.
Portanto seja conhecido por vós que a salvação de Deus foi enviada aos gentios; e eles [a] ouvirão.
29 And when he had thus said, the Jews retired; and there were great disputations among them.
30 And Paul hired a house, at his own cost, and resided in it two years; and there he received all that came to him.
E Paulo ficou dois anos inteiros em sua própria casa alugada; e recebia a todos quantos vinham a ele;
31 And he preached concerning the kingdom of God, and taught boldly concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah, without hinderance. Completion of the Acts of the blessed Legates; that is, their Histories.
Pregando o Reino de Deus, e ensinando com ousadia a doutrina do Senhor Jesus Cristo, sem impedimento algum.
