1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
Ora, quanto á collecta que se faz para os sanctos, fazei vós tambem como ordenei ás egrejas da Galacia.
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
No primeiro dia da semana cada um de vós ponha de parte o que poder ajuntar, conforme a sua prosperidade, para que se não façam as collectas quando eu chegar.
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
E, quando tiver chegado, enviarei aos que por cartas approvardes para que levem a vossa dadiva a Jerusalem.
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
E, se a coisa fôr digna de que eu tambem vá, irão comigo.
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
Irei, porém, ter comvosco depois de ter passado pela Macedonia (porque tenho de passar pela Macedonia).
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
E bem pode ser que fique comvosco, e passe tambem o inverno, para que me acompanheis aonde quer que eu fôr.
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
Porque não vos quero agora vêr de passagem, mas espero ficar comvosco algum tempo, se o Senhor o permittir.
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
Ficarei, porém, em Epheso até ao Pentecostes;
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
Porque uma porta grande e efficaz se me abriu; e ha muitos adversarios.
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
E, se vier Timotheo, vêde que esteja sem temor comvosco; porque trabalha na obra do Senhor, como eu tambem.
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
Portanto ninguem o despreze, mas acompanhae-o em paz, para que venha ter comigo: porque o espero com os irmãos.
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
E, ácerca do irmão Apollos, roguei-lhe muito que fosse ter comvosco com os irmãos, mas, na verdade, não teve vontade de ir agora; irá, porém, quando se lhe offereça boa occasião.
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
Vigiae, estae firmes na fé: portae-vos varonilmente, e fortalecei-vos.
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
Todas as vossas coisas sejam feitas com caridade.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
Rogo-vos, porém, irmãos, pois sabeis que a familia de Estephanas é as primicias da Achaia, e que se tem dedicado ao ministerio dos sanctos,
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
Que tambem vos sujeiteis aos taes, e a todo aquelle que juntamente obra e trabalha.
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
Folgo, porém, com a vinda de Estephanas, e de Fortunato e de Achaico; porque estes suppriram o que da vossa parte me faltava.
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
Porque recrearam o meu espirito e o vosso. Reconhecei pois aos taes.
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
As egrejas da Asia vos saudam. Saudam-vos affectuosamente no Senhor Aquila e Prisca, com a egreja que está em sua casa.
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Todos os irmãos vos saudam. Saudae-vos uns aos outros com osculo sancto.
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
Saudação da minha propria mão, de Paulo.
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
Se alguem não ama ao Senhor Jesus Christo, seja anathema, maranatha.
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
A graça do Senhor Jesus Christo seja comvosco.
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
O meu amor seja com todos vós em Christo Jesus. Amen.
