Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
E depois disto ele partiu de Atenas, e veio a Corinto.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came 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 practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
E porque era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; porque tinham o ofício de fazerem tendas.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
E ele disputava na sinagoga a cada sábado; e persuadia a judeus e a gregos.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying 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 they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. 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 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door 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 ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, 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 by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t 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 attack you 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 He lived there 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 was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up 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 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Dizendo: Este persuade as pessoas a servirem a Deus contra a Lei.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear 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 if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want 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 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
E ele os tirou do tribunal.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
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, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
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 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered 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 him to stay with them 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 must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
Porém despediu-se deles, dizendo: Outra vez, se Deus quiser, voltarei a vós. E ele saiu de Éfeso.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
E tendo vindo a Cesareia, subiu e, saudando à igreja, desceu a Antioquia.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing 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 race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu, de nome Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloquente, bem capacitado nas Escrituras.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although 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 He 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 had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through 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 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Porque vigorosamente ele provava publicamente os erros dos judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.
