Acts 14
1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
Em Icônio, Paulo e Barnabé foram para a sinagoga judaica e falaram de forma tão convincente que muitos judeus e não-judeus creram em Jesus.
2 But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
Mas, os judeus que se recusaram a crer em Jesus atiçaram os sentimentos dos pagãos e os colocaram contra os que criam.
3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
Paulo e Barnabé ficaram lá por um longo tempo, falando para eles com muita coragem sobre o Senhor. E Jesus confirmava a mensagem de graça que eles anunciavam dando-lhes poder de realizar milagres e maravilhas.
4 The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
Os moradores da cidade ficaram divididos: alguns apoiavam os judeus que não acreditaram, enquanto outros defendiam os apóstolos.
5 Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
Mas, então, os pagãos e os judeus, juntamente com os seus líderes, decidiram atacar e apedrejar Paulo e Barnabé.
6 But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
Entretanto, eles ficaram sabendo disso e fugiram para a região da Licaônia, para as cidades de Listra e Derbe,
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
onde continuaram a anunciar as boas novas do Reino de Deus.
8 [Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
Na cidade de Listra, havia um homem que era aleijado dos pés. Ele nasceu aleijado e nunca tinha sido capaz de andar.
9 He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
Ele se sentou para ouvir Paulo falar. Quando Paulo olhou diretamente para ele e percebeu que o homem acreditava que Deus poderia curá-lo,
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
Paulo disse em voz alta: “Fique em pé!” O homem deu um salto e começou a andar.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
Quando a multidão que lá estava viu o que havia acontecido, gritaram em sua língua: “Os deuses tomaram a forma humana e desceram do céu até nós!”
12 They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
Eles pensaram que Barnabé fosse o deus Júpiter, e que Paulo fosse Mercúrio, pois ele era o que mais falava.
13 Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
O sacerdote do templo de Júpiter, que ficava na entrada da cidade, trouxe bois e coroas de flores para os portões da cidade. Ele planejava fazer um sacrifício diante da multidão.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
Mas, quando os apóstolos Barnabé e Paulo souberam disso, eles rasgaram as suas roupas e correram até a multidão, gritando:
15 “Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
“O que vocês estão fazendo? Nós somos humanos exatamente como vocês. Viemos trazer a palavra de Deus para que vocês abandonem essas coisas sem sentido e se voltem para um Deus que está verdadeiramente vivo. Ele é quem fez o céu, a terra, o mar e tudo que existe.
16 In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
No passado, ele deixou que cada nação seguisse o seu próprio caminho.
17 But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
Ainda assim, ele continua a dar provas da sua existência, fazendo boas ações. Ele envia a chuva do céu e faz com que as lavouras cresçam no tempo certo. É ele quem dá alimento a vocês e enche seus corações de alegria.”
18 The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
Mesmo dizendo isso, os apóstolos tiveram dificuldade para impedir a multidão de lhes sacrificar os animais.
19 [However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
Mas, alguns judeus vindos de Antioquia e de Icônio chegaram e conseguiram o apoio da multidão. Eles apedrejaram Paulo e o jogaram para fora dos portões da cidade, pensando que ele havia morrido.
20 They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
Mas, quando os cristãos se reuniram em volta dele, Paulo se levantou e voltou para a cidade. No dia seguinte, Paulo e Barnabé foram para a cidade de Derbe.
21 They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
Após anunciarem o evangelho às pessoas naquela cidade, e muitos moradores se converterem em seguidores de Jesus, os dois voltaram para as cidades de Listra, Icônio e Antioquia.
22 [In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
Eles animavam os seguidores de Jesus para que continuassem firmes e mantivessem a sua fé nele. Paulo e Barnabé diziam: “Precisamos passar por muitos desafios para entrar no Reino de Deus.”
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
Depois de terem nomeado presbíteros para todas as igrejas e terem orado e jejuado com eles, Paulo e Barnabé os deixaram aos cuidados do Senhor, em quem eles criam.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Os dois passaram pela Pisídia e chegaram na Panfília.
25 [In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
Eles anunciaram a palavra de Deus em Perge e, depois, foram para Atália.
26 There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
De lá, eles voltaram de barco para Antioquia, de onde tinham começado a viagem e que era o lugar em que Deus lhes havia determinado a missão, agora concluída, de anunciar a sua palavra.
27 When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
Eles chegaram e logo reuniram a igreja. Os dois contaram tudo o que Deus tinha realizado por meio deles e de como ele havia aberto a porta para que os não-judeus cressem nele.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Paulo e Barnabé ficaram ali por um longo tempo com os seguidores de Jesus.
