Acts 4
1 [Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
E, estando elles fallando ao povo, sobrevieram os sacerdotes, e o capitão do templo, e os sadduceos,
2 These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
Doendo-se muito de que ensinassem o povo, e annunciassem em Jesus a resurreição dos mortos.
3 So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
E lançaram mão d'elles, e os encerraram na prisão até ao dia seguinte, pois era já tarde.
4 However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
Muitos, porém, dos que ouviram a palavra crêram, e chegou o numero d'esses homens a quasi cinco mil.
5 The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, reunirem-se em Jerusalem os seus principaes, e anciãos e escribas,
6 Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
E Annás, o summo sacerdote, e Caiphás, e João, e Alexandre, e todos quantos havia da linhagem do summo sacerdote.
7 They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
E, pondo-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder fizestes isto, ou em nome de quem?
8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
Então Pedro, cheio do Espirito Sancto, lhes disse: Principaes do povo, e vós, anciãos d'Israel.
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
Visto que hoje somos interrogados ácerca do beneficio feito a um homem enfermo, do modo como foi curado,
10 So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
Seja conhecido a vós todos, e a todo o povo d'Israel, que em nome de Jesus Christo, o nazareno, aquelle a quem vós crucificastes e a quem Deus resuscitou dos mortos, em nome d'esse é que este está são diante de vós.
11 [In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
Este é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta por cabeça d'esquina.
12 So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
E em nenhum outro ha salvação, porque tambem debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome ha, dado entre os homens, em que devamos ser salvos.
13 The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
Então elles, vendo a ousadia de Pedro e João, e informados de que eram homens sem lettras e indoutos, se maravilharam; e conheciam que elles haviam estado com Jesus.
14 They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
Mas, vendo estar com elles o homem que fôra curado, nada tinham que dizer em contrario.
15 So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
E, mandando-os sair fóra do conselho, conferenciaram entre si,
16 [Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
Dizendo: Que havemos de fazer a estes homens? porque a todos os que habitam em Jerusalem é manifesto que por elles foi feito um signal notorio, e não o podemos negar;
17 However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
Mas, para que não se divulgue mais entre o povo, ameacemol-os para que não fallem mais n'esse nome a homem algum.
18 So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
E, chamando-os, disseram-lhes que absolutamente não fallassem, nem ensinassem, no nome de Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
Respondendo, porém, Pedro e João, lhes disseram: Julgae vós se é justo, diante de Deus, ouvir-vos antes a vós do que a Deus
20 [But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
Porque não podemos deixar de fallar do que temos visto e ouvido.
21 Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
Mas elles ainda os ameaçaram mais, e, não achando motivo para os castigar, deixaram-n'os ir, por causa do povo; porque todos glorificavam a Deus ácerca do que acontecera:
Pois tinha mais de quarenta annos o homem em quem se operara aquelle milagre de saude.
23 After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
E, soltos elles, foram para os seus, e contaram tudo o que lhes disseram os principaes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos.
24 When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
E, ouvindo elles isto, unanimes levantaram a voz a Deus, e disseram: Senhor, tu és o Deus que fizeste o céu, e a terra, e o mar, e todas as coisas que n'elles ha;
25 The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
Que disseste pela bocca de David, teu servo: Porque bramaram as gentes, e os povos pensaram coisas vãs?
26 The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
Levantaram-se os reis da terra, e os principes se ajuntaram á uma, contra o Senhor e contra o seu Ungido.
27 [Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
Porque verdadeiramente contra o teu sancto Filho Jesus, que tu ungiste, se ajuntaram, não só Herodes, mas Poncio Pilatos, com os gentios e os povos d'Israel;
28 [Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
Para fazerem tudo o que a tua mão e o teu conselho tinham anteriormente determinado que se havia de fazer.
29 “So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
Agora pois, ó Senhor, põe os olhos nas suas ameaças, e concede aos teus servos que fallem com toda a ousadia a tua palavra;
30 [Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
Estendendo a tua mão para curar, e para que se façam signaes e prodigios pelo nome do teu sancto Filho Jesus.
31 When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
E, tendo orado, moveu-se o logar em que estavam reunidos; e todos foram cheios do Espirito Sancto, e fallavam com ousadia a palavra de Deus.
32 The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
E era um o coração e a alma da multidão dos que criam, e ninguem dizia que coisa alguma do que possuia era sua propria, mas todas as coisas lhes eram communs.
33 The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
E os apostolos davam, com grande poder, testemunho da resurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos elles havia abundante graça.
34 [Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
Não havia pois entre elles necessitado algum; porque todos os que possuiam herdades ou casas, vendendo-as, traziam o preço do vendido, e o depositavam aos pés dos apostolos.
35 and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
E repartia-se por cada um, segundo a necessidade que cada um tinha.
36 [For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
Então José, cognominado pelos apostolos Barnabé (que, traduzido, é Filho de consolação), levita, natural de Chypre,
37 He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
Possuindo uma herdade, vendeu-a, e trouxe o preço, e o apresentou aos pés dos apostolos.
