Acts 18
1 After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
E depois disto ele partiu de Atenas, e veio a Corinto.
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them,
E achando a um certo judeu, de nome Áquila, natural de Ponto, que recentemente tinha vindo da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (porque Cláudio tinha mandado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), veio até eles.
3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
E porque era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; porque tinham o ofício de fazerem tendas.
4 So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
E ele disputava na sinagoga a cada sábado; e persuadia a judeus e a gregos.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
E quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo foi pressionado pelo Espírito, dando testemunho aos judeus [de que] o Cristo [era] Jesus.
6 When the Jews opposed and insulted him, Paul shook out his garment at them and said to them, “May your blood be upon your own heads; I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Mas tendo eles resistido e blasfemado, ele sacudiu as roupas, e lhes disse: Vosso sangue [seja] sobre vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo; e a partir de agora irei aos gentios.
7 Then he left from there and went to the house of Titius Justus, a man who worshiped God. His house was next to the synagogue.
E tendo saído dali, entrou na cada de um, de nome Tito Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa era vizinha à sinagoga.
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all those who lived in his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
E Crispo, o chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, tendo ouvido, creram e foram batizados.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
E o Senhor disse em visão de noite a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala, e não te cales.
10 For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Porque eu estou contigo, e ninguém porá [mão] em ti para te fazer mal, porque eu tenho muito povo nesta cidade.
11 Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
E ele ficou [ali por] um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.
12 But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
Mas sendo Gálio o procônsul da Acaia, os judeus se levantaram em concordância contra Paulo, e o trouxeram ao tribunal,
13 they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
Dizendo: Este persuade as pessoas a servirem a Deus contra a Lei.
14 Yet when Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “You Jews, if indeed it were a matter of wrong or a crime, it would be reasonable to deal with you.
E Paulo, querendo abrir a boca, Gálio disse aos judeus: Se houvesse algum mau ato ou crime grande, ó judeus, com razão eu vos suportaria;
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.”
Mas se a questão é de palavra [s], e de nomes, e da Lei que há entre vós, vede [-o] vós mesmos; porque destas coisas eu não quero ser juiz.
16 Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
E ele os tirou do tribunal.
17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio did not care what they did.
Mas todos os gregos, tomando a Sóstenes, o chefe da sinagoga, feriram [-no] diante do tribunal; e a nada destas coisas Gálio dava importância.
18 Paul, after staying there for many more days, left the brothers and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Before he left the seaport, Cenchrea, he had his hair cut off because of a vow he had taken.
E Paulo, ficando ali ainda muitos dias, ele se despediu dos irmãos, e dali navegou para a Síria, e juntos com ele [estavam] Priscila e Áquila; tendo rapado a cabeça em Cencreia, porque ele tinha [feito] voto.
19 When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
E chegou a Éfeso, e os deixou ali; mas ele, entrando na sinagoga, disputava com os judeus.
20 When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
E eles, pedindo[-lhe] que continuasse com eles por mais [algum] tempo, ele não concordou.
21 But taking his leave of them, he said, “I will return again to you if it is God's will.” He then set sail from Ephesus.
Porém despediu-se deles, dizendo: Outra vez, se Deus quiser, voltarei a vós. E ele saiu de Éfeso.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
E tendo vindo a Cesareia, subiu e, saudando à igreja, desceu a Antioquia.
23 After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
E passando [ali] algum tempo, ele partiu, passando em sequência pela região da Galácia e Frígia, firmando a todos os discípulos.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu, de nome Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloquente, bem capacitado nas Escrituras.
25 Apollos had been instructed in the teachings of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.
Este era instruído no caminho do Senhor; e fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava corretamente as coisas do Senhor; [ainda que] soubesse somente o batismo de João.
26 Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
E este começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga; e Áquila e Priscila, ao o ouvirem, tomaram-no consigo, e explicaram mais detalhadamente o caminho de Deus.
27 When he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples in Achaia to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who believed by grace.
E ele, querendo passar a Acaia, os irmãos o exortaram, [e] escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, auxiliou muito aos que tinham crido pela graça.
28 Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Porque vigorosamente ele provava publicamente os erros dos judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.
