Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
E Saulo, ainda assoprando ameaças e mortes contra os discípulos do Senhor, foi ao chefe dos sacerdotes.
2 And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
E pediu-lhe cartas para Damasco, para as sinagogas, para que se achasse alguns deste caminho, tanto homens como mulheres, ele [os] trouxesse presos a Jerusalém.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:
E indo, aconteceu que chegando perto de Damasco, repentinamente brilhou ao redor dele uma luz do céu.
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
E caindo em terra, ouviu ma voz lhe dizendo: Saulo, Saulo, por que me persegues?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
E ele disse: Quem és, Senhor? E ele [disse]: Eu sou Jesus, a quem tu persegues.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
mas levanta-te, e entra na cidade; e [ali] te será dito o que deves fazer.
7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
E os homens que viajavam com ele pararam emudecidos, ouvindo, de fato, a voz, porém não vendo ninguém.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
E Saulo se levantou da terra e, tendo aberto seus olhos, não via ninguém; e sendo guiado pela mão, levaram-no a Damasco.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
E ele estava três dias sem ver; e não comeu, nem bebeu.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
E havia em Damasco um certo discípulo, de nome Ananias; e disse-lhe o Senhor em visão: Ananias! E ele respondeu: Eis-me aqui, Senhor!
11 And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,
E o Senhor lhe [disse]: Levanta-te, e vai a rua chamada Direita, e pergunta na casa de Judas por um chamado Saulo, de Tarso; porque que ele ora.
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
E ele viu em visão que um homem, de nome Ananias, entrava, e sobre ele punha a mão, para que voltasse a ver.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
E Ananias respondeu: Senhor, eu ouvi de muitos sobre este homem, quantos males ele tem feito aos teus santos em Jerusalém;
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on thy name.
E aqui ele tem poder dos chefes dos sacerdotes para prender a todos os que invocam o teu nome.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
Mas o Senhor lhe disse: Vai, porque este me é um vaso escolhido para levar meu nome diante dos gentios, e dos reis, e dos filhos de Israel;
16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Porque eu mostrarei a ele o quanto ele deve sofrer por causa do meu nome.
17 And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
E Ananias foi, e entrou na casa; e pondo as mãos sobre ele, disse: Irmão Saulo, o Senhor, [que é] Jesus, aquele que apareceu a ti no caminho, me enviou para que tu voltes a ver, e sejas cheio do Espírito Santo.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
E logo lhe caíram como que escamas dos olhos, e imediatamente voltou a ver; e levantando-se, foi batizado.
19 And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
E ao comer, ele se fortaleceu. E Saulo ficou alguns dias com os discípulos [que estavam] em Damasco.
20 And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
E logo nas sinagogas pregava a Cristo, [dizendo] que aquele era o Filho de Deus.
21 But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
E todos os que o ouviam ficavam admirados, e diziam: Não é este aquele que em Jerusalém tentava destruir aos que invocavam este nome? E [não foi] para isso [que] ele veio aqui, para os levar presos aos chefes dos sacerdotes?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Mas Saulo se esforçava muito mais, e confundia aos judeus que habitavam em Damasco, provando que aquele era o Cristo.
23 And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
E passados vários dias, os judeus tiveram conselho entre si para o matarem.
24 But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Mas as ciladas deles foram conhecidas por Saulo; e eles vigiavam as portas, tanto de dia como de noite, para poderem matá-lo.
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
Porém os discípulos, tomando-o de noite, levaram-no abaixo pelo muro em um cesto.
26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
E Saulo, tendo vindo a Jerusalém, procurava se juntar aos discípulos; mas todos tinham medo dele, não crendo que fosse discípulo.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Mas Barnabás, tomando-o consigo, trouxe [-o] aos apóstolos, e contou-lhes como no caminho tinha visto ao Senhor, e tinha lhe falado, e como em Damasco tinha falado ousadamente no nome de Jesus.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
E ele estava junto deles, entrando e saindo em Jerusalém;
29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
E falando ousadamente no nome do Senhor; falava e discutia também contra os gregos; mas eles procuravam matá-lo.
30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
E os irmãos, ao perceberem [isto], o levaram até Cesareia, e o enviaram a Tarso.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.
Então as igrejas por toda a Judeia, e Galileia, e Samaria, tinham paz, e eram edificadas; e andando no temor do Senhor, e [na] consolação do Espírito Santo, se multiplicavam.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
E aconteceu que, Pedro, passando por todos [os lugares], veio também aos santos que habitavam em Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.
E ali ele achou a um certo homem chamado Enéas, que havia oito anos que jazia numa cama, que era paralítico.
34 And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
E Pedro lhe disse: Enéas, Jesus Cristo te cura; levanta-te, e faz tua cama. E logo ele se levantou.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
E todos os que habitavam em Lida e Sarona o viram, os quais se converteram ao Senhor.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
E havia em Jope uma certa discípula, de nome Tabita, que traduzido se diz Dorcas. Esta estava cheia de boas obras e doações que ela fazia [aos necessitados].
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.
E aconteceu naqueles dias, que tendo ela ficado doente, morreu; e tendo a lavado, puseram-na no compartimento superior.
38 And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
E como Lida era perto de Jope, os discípulos, ao ouvirem que Pedro estava ali, mandaram-lhe dois homens, rogando [-lhe] que não demorasse a vir a eles.
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
E Pedro, tendo se levantado, foi com eles; o qual chegou, e [o] levaram ao compartimento superior, e todas as viúvas o rodearam, chorando, e mostrando [-lhe] as túnicas e roupas que Dorcas tinha feito quando estava com elas.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Mas Pedro, pondo para fora a todas; pôs-se de joelhos, e orou; e virando-se para o corpo, disse: Tabita, levanta-te; E ela abriu seus olhos, e vendo a Pedro, sentou-se.
41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
E ele, dando-lhe a mão, levantou-a; e tendo chamado aos santos, e às viúvas, apresentou-a viva.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa: and many believed in the Lord.
E isto ficou conhecido por toda Jope, e muitos creram no Senhor.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
E aconteceu que ele ficou muitos dias em Jope, com um certo Simão curtidor.
