Acts 7
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
E disse o summo sacerdote: Porventura é isto assim?
2 He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
E elle disse: Varões, irmãos, e paes, ouvi. O Deus da gloria appareceu a nosso pae Abrahão, estando na Mesopotamia, antes de habitar em Haran,
3 and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
E disse-lhe: Sae da tua terra e d'entre a tua parentela, e dirige-te á terra que eu te mostrarei.
4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.
Então saiu da terra dos chaldeos, e habitou em Haran. E d'ali, depois que seu pae falleceu, o fez passar para esta terra em que agora habitaes.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
E não lhe deu n'ella herança, nem ainda o espaço de um pé: mas prometteu que lh'a daria em possessão, e depois d'elle á sua descendencia, não tendo elle ainda filho.
6 God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
E fallou Deus assim: Que a sua descendencia seria peregrina em terra alheia, e a sujeitariam á escravidão, e a maltratariam por quatrocentos annos.
7 ‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’
E eu julgarei a nação a quem servirem, disse Deus. E depois d'isto sairão, e me servirão n'este logar.
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
E deu-lhe o pacto da circumcisão; e assim gerou a Isaac, e o circumcidou ao oitavo dia: e Isaac gerou a Jacob, e Jacob aos doze patriarchas.
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
E os patriarchas, movidos de inveja, venderam a José para o Egypto; e Deus era com elle,
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
E livrou-o de todas as suas tribulações, e lhe deu graça e sabedoria ante Pharaó, rei do Egypto, que o constituiu governador sobre o Egypto e toda a sua casa.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
E a todo o paiz do Egypto e de Canaan sobreveiu fome e grande tribulação; e nossos paes não achavam alimentos.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Porém Jacob, ouvindo que no Egypto havia trigo, enviou ali nossos paes, a primeira vez.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
E na segunda foi José conhecido por seus irmãos, e a linhagem de José foi manifesta a Pharaó.
14 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
E José mandou chamar a seu pae Jacob, e a toda a sua parentela, que era de setenta e cinco almas.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
E Jacob desceu ao Egypto, e morreu, elle e nossos paes;
16 and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
E foram transportados para Sichem, e depositados na sepultura que Abrahão comprara por certa somma de dinheiro aos filhos de Hemor, pae de Sichem.
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Approximando-se, porém, o tempo da promessa que Deus tinha jurado a Abrahão, o povo cresceu e se multiplicou no Egypto;
18 until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
Até que se levantou outro rei, que não conhecia a José.
19 The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
Este, usando de astucia contra a nossa linhagem, maltratou nossos paes, ao ponto de lhes fazer engeitar as suas creanças, para que não se multiplicassem.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
N'esse tempo nasceu Moysés, e era mui formoso, e foi criado tres mezes em casa de seu pae.
21 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
E, sendo engeitado, tomou-o a filha do Pharaó, e o criou como seu filho.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
E Moysés foi instruido em toda a sciencia dos egypcios; e era poderoso em suas palavras e obras.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
E, quando completou o tempo de quarenta annos, veiu-lhe ao coração ir visitar seus irmãos, os filhos d'Israel.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
E, vendo maltratado um d'elles, o defendeu, e vingou o offendido, matando o egypcio.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
E elle cuidava que seus irmãos entenderiam que Deus lhes havia de dar a liberdade pela sua mão; porém elles não entenderam.
26 “The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
E no dia seguinte, pelejando elles, foi por elles visto, e quiz leval-os á paz, dizendo: Varões, sois irmãos; porque vos aggravaes um ao outro?
27 But he who did his neighbour wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
E o que offendia o seu proximo o repelliu, dizendo: Quem te constituiu principe e juiz sobre nós?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Queres tu matar-me, como hontem mataste o egypcio?
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
E a esta palavra fugiu Moysés, e esteve como estrangeiro na terra de Madian, onde gerou dois filhos.
30 “When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
E, completados quarenta annos, appareceu-lhe o anjo do Senhor, no deserto do monte Sinai, n'uma chamma de fogo de um sarçal.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
Então Moysés, vendo-o, se maravilhou da visão; e, approximando-se para vêr, foi-lhe dirigida a voz do Senhor,
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
Dizendo: Eu sou o Deus de teus paes, o Deus d'Abrahão, e o Deus d'Isaac e o Deus de Jacob. E Moysés, todo tremulo, não ousava olhar.
33 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Descalça as alparcas dos teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é terra sancta:
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’
Tenho visto attentamente a afflicção do meu povo que está no Egypto, e ouvi os seus gemidos, e desci a livral-os. Agora, pois, vem, e enviar-te-hei ao Egypto.
35 “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
A este Moysés, ao qual haviam negado, dizendo: Quem te constituiu principe e juiz? a este enviou Deus como principe e libertador, pela mão do anjo que lhe apparecera no sarçal.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Este os conduziu para fóra, fazendo prodigios e signaes na terra do Egypto, e no Mar Vermelho, e no deserto, por quarenta annos.
37 This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from amongst your brothers, like me.’
Este é aquelle Moysés que disse aos filhos d'Israel: O Senhor vosso Deus vos levantará d'entre vossos irmãos um propheta como eu; a elle ouvireis.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
Este é o que esteve entre a congregação no deserto, com o anjo que lhe fallava no monte Sinai, e com nossos paes, o qual recebeu as palavras de vida para nol-as dar.
39 to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Ao qual nossos paes não quizeram obedecer, antes o rejeitaram, e de coração se tornaram ao Egypto,
40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
Dizendo a Aarão: Faze-nos deuses que vão adiante de nós; porque a esse Moysés, que nos tirou da terra do Egypto, não sabemos o que lhe aconteceu.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
E n'aquelles dias fizeram o bezerro, e offereceram sacrificios ao idolo, e se alegraram nas obras das suas mãos.
42 But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
E Deus se affastou, e os abandonou a que servissem ao exercito do céu, como está escripto no livro dos prophetas: Porventura me offerecestes victimas e sacrificios no deserto por quarenta annos, ó casa d'Israel?
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
Antes tomastes o tabernaculo de Molech, e a estrella do vosso deus Remphan, figuras que vós fizestes para as adorar. Transportar-vos-hei pois para além de Babylonia.
44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Estava entre nossos paes no deserto o tabernaculo do testemunho, como ordenara aquelle que disse a Moysés que o fizesse segundo o modelo que tinha visto.
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,
O qual nossos paes, recebendo-o tambem, o levaram com Josué quando entraram na possessão das nações que Deus expulsou da face de nossos paes, até aos dias de David:
46 who found favour in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
Que achou graça diante de Deus, e pediu para achar tabernaculo para o Deus de Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
E Salomão lhe edificou casa;
48 However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Mas o Altissimo não habita em templos feitos por mãos d'homens, como diz o propheta:
49 ‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?
O céu é o meu throno, e a terra o estrado dos meus pés. Que casa me edificareis? diz o Senhor: ou qual é o logar do meu repouso?
50 Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
Porventura não fez a minha mão todas estas coisas?
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
Duros de cerviz, e incircumcisos de coração e ouvidos: vós sempre resistis ao Espirito Sancto; tambem vós sois como vossos paes.
52 Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
A qual dos prophetas não perseguiram vossos paes? Até mataram os que anteriormente annunciaram a vinda do Justo, do qual vós agora fostes traidores e homicidas;
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
Vos, que recebestes a lei por disposição dos anjos, e não a guardastes.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
E, ouvindo estas coisas, enfureciam-se em seus corações, e rangiam os dentes contra elle.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Mas elle, estando cheio do Espirito Sancto, fixando os olhos no céu, viu a gloria de Deus, e Jesus, que estava á direita de Deus;
56 and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
E disse: Eis que vejo os céus abertos, e o Filho do homem, que está em pé á mão direita de Deus
57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
Elles, porém, clamando com grande voz, taparam os seus ouvidos, e arremetteram unanimes contra elle.
58 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
E, expulsando-o da cidade, o apedrejavam. E as testemunhas depozeram os seus vestidos aos pés de um mancebo chamado Saulo.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
E apedrejaram a Estevão, invocando elle ao Senhor, e dizendo: Senhor Jesus, recebe o meu espirito.
60 He knelt down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
E, pondo-se de joelhos, clamou com grande voz: Senhor, não lhes imputes este peccado. E, tendo dito isto, adormeceu.
