Acts 20
1 After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them [to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon] after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia [province].
E, depois que cessou o alvoroço, Paulo chamou para si os discipulos, e, abraçando-os, saiu para a Macedonia.
2 [After he arrived] there, he visited [each town where there were believers], and encouraged them. Then he arrived in Greece [province], [which is also called Achaia].
E, havendo andado por aquellas partes, e exhortando-os com muitas palavras, veiu á Grecia.
3 He stayed there for three months. Then he planned to return to Syria by ship, but [he heard that] some of the Jews [SYN] [in that area] were planning to kill him [as he traveled. So] he decided instead to go [by land, and he traveled] again through Macedonia.
E, passando ali tres mezes, e sendo-lhe pelos judeos postas ciladas, havendo de navegar para a Syria, determinou voltar pela Macedonia.
4 The men who were going to travel with him [to Jerusalem were] Sopater, [who was] a son of Pyrrhus, who grew up in Berea [town]; Aristarchus and Secundus, who were from Thessalonica [city; ] Gaius, [who was] from Derbe [town; ] Timothy, [who was from Galatia province; ] and Tychicus and Trophimus who were from Asia [province].
E acompanhou-o, até á Asia, Sopater, de Berea, e, dos de Thessalonica, Aristarcho, e Segundo, e Gaio de Derbe, e Timotheo, e, dos da Asia, Tychico e Trophimo.
5 Those [seven] men went ahead of [Paul and me, Luke, by ship from Macedonia, so] they got to Troas [before we did and] waited for [the two of] us there.
Estes, indo adiante, nos esperaram em Troas.
6 [But we two(exc) traveled by land as far as] Philippi [city]. After the Jewish festival [when they eat] unleavened bread, we got on a ship [that was going from] the port near [Philippi to Troas city]. After five days we [(exc)] arrived at Troas and we met the other men who had traveled there [ahead of us]. Then we [all] stayed in Troas for seven days.
E, depois dos dias dos pães asmos, navegámos de Philippos, e em cinco dias fomos ter com elles a Troas, onde estivemos sete dias.
7 (On Sunday evening/On the evening of the first day of the week), we [(exc) and the other believers there] gathered together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper [and to eat other food] [SYN]. Paul spoke to the believers. He continued teaching them until midnight, because he was planning to leave [Troas] the next day.
E no primeiro dia da semana, ajuntando-se os discipulos para partir o pão, Paulo, que havia de partir no dia seguinte, discursava com elles; e alargou a pratica até á meia noite.
8 Many [oil] lamps were burning in the upstairs room in which we [(exc)] had gathered, [so the fumes caused some people to become sleepy].
E havia muitas luzes no cenaculo onde estavam juntos.
9 A young man whose name was Eutychus was there. He was seated on [the sill of] an [open] window [on the third story of the house]. As Paul continued talking for a long time, Eutychus became sleepier and sleepier. Finally, he was sound/really asleep. He fell [out of the window] from the third story down [to the ground. Some of the believers went down] immediately and picked him up. [But he was] dead.
E, estando um certo mancebo, por nome Eutycho, assentado n'uma janella, caiu, tomado de um somno profundo que lhe sobreveiu durante o extenso discurso de Paulo, desde o terceiro andar; e foi levantado morto.
10 Paul [also] went down. He lay down and stretched out on top of the young man and put his arms around him. Then he said [to the people who were standing around], “Do not worry, he is alive [again now]!”
Paulo, porém, descendo, inclinou-se sobre elle, e, abraçando-o, disse: Não vos perturbeis, que a sua alma n'elle está.
11 Then Paul, [along with the others], went upstairs again and they ate the Lord’s Supper and other food [SYN]. Afterwards, Paul conversed with the believers until dawn. Then he left.
E subindo, e partindo o pão, e comendo, e fallando-lhes largamente até á alvorada, assim partiu.
12 The [other] people took the young man [home], and were greatly encouraged because he was alive [again].
E levaram vivo o mancebo, e ficaram não pouco consolados.
13 We then went to the ship. Paul did not get on the ship [with us in Troas], because he preferred to go [more quickly] overland to Assos [town]. The rest of us got on the ship and sailed for Assos.
Nós, porém, subindo ao navio, navegámos até Asson, onde deviamos receber a Paulo, porque assim o ordenara, indo elle por terra.
14 We [(exc)] met Paul in Assos. He got on [the ship] with us, and we sailed to Mitylene [town].
E, logo que se ajuntou comnosco em Asson, tomámol-o, e fomos a Mitylene:
15 The day after [we reached Mitylene], we [sailed from there and] arrived [at a place] near Kios [Island]. The day after that, we sailed to Samos [Island]. The next day we [left Samos and] sailed to Miletus [town].
E, navegando d'ali, chegámos no dia seguinte defronte de Chio, e no outro aportámos a Samos, e, ficando em Trogyllio, chegámos no dia seguinte a Mileto.
16 [Miletus was just south of Ephesus city]. Paul had [earlier] decided that he would not get on a ship that would stop at Ephesus, because he did not want to spend [several] days in Asia [province]. If possible, he wanted to arrive in Jerusalem by the [time of the] Pentecost festival, [and the time of that festival was near].
Porque já Paulo tinha determinado passar adiante de Epheso, para não gastar tempo na Asia. Apressava-se pois para, se lhe fosse possivel, estar em Jerusalem no dia de pentecostes.
17 [When the ship arrived at] Miletus, Paul sent [a messenger] to Ephesus to ask the elders of the congregation to come to talk with him.
E de Mileto mandou a Epheso, a chamar os anciãos da egreja.
18 When the elders arrived, Paul said to them, “You personally know how I [conducted myself among you the entire time] that I was with you, from the first day when I arrived [here] in Asia [province until the day I left].
E, logo que chegaram junto d'elle disse-lhes: Vós bem sabeis, desde o primeiro dia em que entrei na Asia, o modo como em todo esse tempo me portei no meio de vós,
19 [You know how] I was serving the Lord [Jesus] very humbly and how I sometimes wept [about people. You also know how] I suffered because the Jews [SYN] [who were not believers often] tried [to harm me].
Servindo ao Senhor com toda a humildade, e com muitas lagrimas e tentações, que pelas ciladas dos judeos me teem sobrevindo.
20 You also know that, as I preached [God’s message] to you, I never left out anything that would help you. You know that I taught you [God’s message] when many people were present, and I [also went to your] homes and taught it there.
Como nada, que util vos fosse, deixei de vos annunciar, e ensinar publicamente e pelas casas:
21 I preached both to Jews and to non-Jews, telling them [all] that they must turn away from their sinful behavior. [I also told them they should] believe in our Lord Jesus.”
Testificando, tanto aos judeos como aos gregos, a conversão a Deus, e a fé em nosso Senhor Jesus Christo.
22 “And now note this: I am going to Jerusalem, because [God’s] Spirit has clearly shown me that I must go there. I do not know what will happen to me [while I am there].
E agora, eis que, ligado eu pelo espirito, vou para Jerusalem, não sabendo o que lá me ha de acontecer.
23 But I do know that in each city [where I have stopped], the Holy Spirit has (told me/[caused the believers to] tell me) that [in Jerusalem] people will put me in prison [PRS] and will cause me to suffer [PRS].
Senão que o Espirito Sancto de cidade em cidade me testifica, dizendo que me esperam prisões e tribulações.
24 But I do not care even if people kill me, if first I am able to finish the work [MET] that the Lord Jesus has told me [to do. He appointed me] to tell people the good message that God [saves us] by doing for us what we do not deserve.
Mas de nenhuma coisa faço caso, e nem a minha vida tenho por preciosa, comtanto que cumpra com alegria a minha carreira, e o ministerio que recebi do Senhor Jesus, para dar testemunho do evangelho da graça de Deus.
25 I have preached to you the message about how God desires to rule [people’s lives]. But now I know that today is the last time that you fellow believers will see me [SYN].
E agora, eis-que bem sei que todos vós, por quem passei prégando o reino de Deus, não vereis mais o meu rosto.
26 So I want you all to understand that if anyone [who has heard me preach] dies [without trusting in Jesus], it is not my fault [MTY],
Portanto, no dia de hoje, vos protesto que estou limpo do sangue de todos.
27 because I told you [LIT] everything [HYP] that God has planned for us [(inc)].
Porque nunca deixei de annunciar-vos todo o conselho de Deus.
28 [You leaders] must continue to believe and obey [God’s message. You must also help] all the other believers [MET] for whom the Holy Spirit has caused you to be responsible [MTY]. Watch over [MET] yourselves and the other believers [as] a shepherd [watches over his sheep]. God bought them with the blood [that flowed from] his [Son’s body on the cross].
Olhae pois por vós, e por todo o rebanho sobre que o Espirito Sancto vos constituiu bispos, para apascentardes a egreja de Deus, a qual alcançou com seu proprio sangue.
29 I know [very well] that after I leave, [people who teach] [MET] [false doctrines] will come among you and will do great harm to the believers. [They will be like] fierce wolves [that kill sheep].
Porque eu sei isto: que, depois da minha partida, entrarão entre vós lobos crueis, que não perdoarão ao rebanho.
30 Even in your own group of believers there will be some who will deceive [other] believers by teaching them messages that are false. They will teach those messages so that some people [will believe them and] will become their followers.
E que d'entre vós mesmos se levantarão homens que fallarão coisas perversas, para attrahirem os discipulos após si.
31 So watch out [that none of you stops believing the true message about our Lord Jesus]. Remember that day and night for [about] three years I repeatedly taught you that message, and warned you with tears [in my eyes not to believe any other message].”
Portanto, vigiae, lembrando-vos de que, durante tres annos, não cessei, de noite e de dia, de admoestar com lagrimas a cada um de vós.
32 “[Now as I leave you], I ask God to protect you and to keep you believing the message [that he saves us(inc)] by doing for us what we do not deserve. [If you continue believing] the message [that I told you], you will become [spiritually mature], and God will give you the blessings that he has promised to give to all of those who belong to him.
Agora pois, irmãos, encommendo-vos a Deus e á palavra da sua graça; o qual é poderoso para vos edificar e dar herança entre todos os sanctificados.
33 [As for myself], I have not desired anyone’s money [MTY] or [fine] clothing.
De ninguem cubicei a prata, nem o oiro, nem o vestido.
34 You yourselves know that I have worked [with my hands] [MTY] to earn the money that my companions and I needed.
Vós mesmos sabeis que para o que me era necessario a mim, e aos que estão comigo, estas mãos me serviram.
35 In everything that I did, I showed you that we [(inc)] should work hard in order [to have enough money] to give some to those who are needy. We [(inc)] should remember that our Lord Jesus himself said, ‘You are happy when people give you what you need, but God will be happy with you when you give other people what they need.’”
Tenho-vos mostrado em tudo que, trabalhando assim, é necessario supportar os enfermos, e lembrar as palavras do Senhor Jesus, que disse: Mais bemaventurada coisa é dar do que receber.
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed.
E, havendo dito isto, pondo-se de joelhos, orou com todos elles.
37 They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him.
E levantou-se um grande pranto entre todos, e, lançando-se ao pescoço de Paulo, o beijavam,
38 They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they [all] went with him to the ship.
Entristecendo-se muito, principalmente pela palavra que dissera, que não veriam mais o seu rosto. E acompanharam-n'o até ao navio.
