< Acts 13 >
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
E na egreja que estava em Antiochia havia alguns prophetas e doutores, a saber: Barnabé e Simeão, chamado Niger, e Lucio cyreneo, e Manahen, que fôra criado com Herodes o tetrarcha, e Saulo.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
E, servindo elles ao Senhor, e jejuando, disse o Espirito Sancto: Apartae-me a Barnabé e a Saulo para a obra para que os tenho chamado.
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Então, jejuando e orando, e pondo sobre elles as mãos, os despediram.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Estes então, enviados pelo Espirito Sancto, desceram a Seleucia e d'ali navegaram para Chypre.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
E, chegados a Salamina, annunciavam a palavra de Deus nas synagogas dos judeos; e tinham tambem a João por ministro.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
E, havendo atravessado a ilha até Paphos, acharam um certo judeo magico, falso propheta, chamado Bar-jesus,
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
O qual estava com o proconsul Sergio Paulo, varão prudente. Este, chamando a si Barnabé e Saulo, procurava muito ouvir a palavra de Deus.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Mas resistia-lhes Elymas, o encantador (que assim se interpreta o seu nome), procurando apartar da fé o proconsul.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Porém Saulo, que tambem se chama Paulo, cheio do Espirito Sancto, e fixando os olhos n'elle, disse:
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
Ó filho do diabo, cheio de todo o engano e de toda a malicia, inimigo de toda a justiça, não cessarás de perturbar os rectos caminhos do Senhor?
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Eis-ahi, pois, agora contra ti a mão do Senhor, e ficarás cego, sem vêr o sol por algum tempo. E no mesmo instante a escuridão e as trevas cairam sobre elle, e, andando em redor, buscava a quem o guiasse pela mão
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Então o proconsul, vendo o que havia acontecido, creu, maravilhado da doutrina do Senhor.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
E, partindo de Paphos, Paulo e os que estavam com elle chegaram a Perge, cidade da Pamphylia. Porém João, apartando-se d'elles, voltou para Jerusalem.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
E elles, saindo de Perge, chegaram a Antiochia, da Pisidia, e, entrando na synagoga, n'um dia de sabbado, assentaram-se;
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
E, depois da lição da lei e dos prophetas, lhes mandaram dizer os principaes da synagoga: Varões irmãos, se vós tendes alguma palavra de consolação para o povo, fallae
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
E, levantando-se Paulo, e pedindo silencio com a mão, disse: Varões israelitas, e os que temeis a Deus, ouvi:
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
O Deus d'este povo d'Israel escolheu a nossos paes, e exaltou o povo, sendo elles estrangeiros na terra do Egypto; e com braço levantado os tirou d'ella;
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
E supportou os seus costumes no deserto por espaço de quasi quarenta annos.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
E, destruindo a sete nações na terra de Canaan, lhes repartiu por sorte a terra d'elles.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
E, depois d'isto, por quasi quatrocentos e cincoenta annos, lhes deu juizes, até ao propheta Samuel.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
E depois pediram um rei, e Deus lhes deu por quarenta annos, a Saul filho de Kis, varão da tribu de Benjamin.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
E, tirado este, lhes levantou como rei a David, ao qual tambem deu testemunho, e disse: Achei a David, filho de Jessé, varão conforme o meu coração, que executará toda a minha vontade.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Da descendencia d'este, conforme a promessa, levantou Deus a Jesus para Salvador d'Israel;
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
Tendo primeiramente João, antes da vinda d'elle, prégado a todo o povo d'Israel o baptismo do arrependimento.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Mas, como João cumprisse a sua carreira, disse: Quem pensaes vós que eu sou? Eu não sou o Christo; mas eis que após mim vem aquelle a quem não sou digno de desatar as alparcas dos pés.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Varões irmãos, filhos da geração d'Abrahão, e os que d'entre vós temem a Deus, a vós vos é enviada a palavra d'esta salvação.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Porque, não conhecendo a este os que habitavam em Jerusalem, nem os seus principes, condemnando-o, cumpriram assim as vozes dos prophetas que se lêem todos os sabbados.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
E, não achando nenhuma causa de morte, pediram a Pilatos que fosse morto.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
E, havendo elles cumprido todas as coisas que d'elle estavam escriptas, tirando-o do madeiro, o pozeram na sepultura;
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Porém Deus o resuscitou dos mortos.
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
E elle por muitos dias foi visto pelos que subiram com elle da Galilea a Jerusalem, e são suas testemunhas para com o povo.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
E nós vos annunciamos a promessa que foi feita aos paes, a qual já Deus nos cumpriu, a nós, seus filhos, resuscitando a Jesus:
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
Como tambem está escripto no psalmo segundo: Meu filho és tu, hoje te gerei.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
E que o resuscitaria dos mortos, para nunca mais tornar á corrupção, disse-o assim: As sanctas e fieis bençãos de David vos darei.
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Pelo que tambem em outro psalmo diz: Não permittirás que o teu sancto veja corrupção.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Porque, na verdade, tendo David no seu tempo servido conforme a vontade de Deus, dormiu, e foi posto junto de seus paes e viu a corrupção,
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Mas aquelle a quem Deus resuscitou nenhuma corrupção viu.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Seja-vos pois notorio, varões irmãos, que por este se vos annuncia a remissão dos peccados.
E de tudo o que, pela lei de Moysés não podestes ser justificados n'este é justificado todo aquelle que crê.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Vêde pois que não venha sobre vós o que está dito nos prophetas:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
Vêde, ó desprezadores, e espantae vos e desapparecei; porque opéro uma obra em vossos dias, obra que não crereis, se alguem vol-a contar.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
E, saidos os judeos da synagoga, os gentios rogaram que no sabbado seguinte se lhes fallassem as mesmas coisas.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
E, despedida a synagoga, muitos dos judeos e dos proselytos religiosos seguiram Paulo e Barnabé; os quaes, fallando-lhes, os exhortavam a que permanecessem na graça de Deus.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
E no sabbado seguinte ajuntou-se quasi toda a cidade a ouvir a palavra de Deus.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Porém os judeos, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja: e, blasphemando, contradiziam o que Paulo dizia.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios )
Mas Paulo e Barnabé, usando de ousadia, disseram: Era mister que a vós se vos fallasse primeiro a palavra de Deus; mas, visto que a rejeitaes, e vos não julgaes dignos da vida eterna, eis que nós voltamos para os gentios; (aiōnios )
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Porque o Senhor assim nol-o mandou, dizendo: Eu te puz para luz dos gentios, para que sejas para salvação até aos confins da terra.
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios )
E os gentios, ouvindo isto, alegraram-se, e glorificavam a palavra do Senhor; e creram todos quantos estavam ordenados para a vida eterna. (aiōnios )
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
E a palavra do Senhor se divulgava por toda aquella provincia.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Mas os judeos incitaram a algumas mulheres religiosas e honestas, e aos principaes da cidade, e levantaram perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé, e os lançaram fóra dos seus termos.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Sacudindo, porém, contra elles o pó dos seus pés, partiram para Iconio.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
E os discipulos estavam cheios d'alegria e do Espirito Sancto.
