Atos 1
1 Fiz o primeiro tratado, ó Theophilo, ácerca de todas as coisas que Jesus começou, não só a fazer, mas a ensinar,
The former record I made, O Theophilus, of all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Até ao dia em que foi recebido em cima, depois de ter dado mandamentos, pelo Espirito Sancto, aos apostolos que escolhera;
till the day on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Aos quaes tambem, depois de ter padecido, se apresentou vivo, com muitas e infalliveis provas, sendo visto por elles por espaço de quarenta dias, e fallando do que respeita ao reino de Deus.
To whom, after he had suffered, he also showed himself alive, by many indubitable proofs; appearing to them for forty days, and speaking of the things that pertain to the kingdom of God.
4 E, ajuntando-os, determinou-lhes que não se ausentassem de Jerusalem, mas que esperassem a promessa do Pae que (disse elle) de mim ouvistes.
And calling them together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of my Father, which, said he, you have heard from me;
5 Porque, na verdade, João baptizou com agua, porém vós sereis baptizados com o Espirito Sancto, não muito depois d'estes dias.
for John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence.
6 Aquelles pois que se haviam ajuntado perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Senhor, restaurarás tu n'este tempo o reino a Israel?
Therefore, when they came together, they asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 E disse-lhes: Não vos pertence saber os tempos ou as estações que o Pae poz em seu proprio poder.
But he said to them: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has reserved under his own control.
8 Mas recebereis a virtude do Espirito Sancto, que ha de vir sobre vós; e ser-me-heis testemunhas, tanto em Jerusalem como em toda a Judea e Samaria, e até aos confins da terra.
But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses for me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.
9 E, havendo dito estas coisas, vendo-o elles, foi elevado ás alturas, e uma nuvem o recebeu, occultando-o a seus olhos.
And when he had spoken these things, while they were looking on him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 E, estando elles com os olhos fitos no céu, emquanto elle ia subindo, eis que junto d'elles se pozeram dois varões vestidos de branco,
And while they were looking earnestly toward heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white raiment,
11 Os quaes então disseram: Varões galileos, porque estaes olhando para o céu? Esse Jesus, que d'entre vós foi recebido acima no céu, ha de vir assim como para o céu o vistes ir.
who also said: Men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same manner in which you saw him go into heaven.
12 Então voltaram para Jerusalem, do monte chamado das Oliveiras, o qual está perto de Jerusalem, á distancia do caminho de um sabbado.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day’s journey.
13 E, entrando, subiram ao cenaculo, onde ficaram Pedro e Thiago, João e André, Philippe e Thomé, Bartholomeo e Matheus, Thiago, filho de Alpheo, Simão, o zelador, e Judas, irmão de Thiago.
And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Todos estes perseveravam unanimemente em orações e supplicas, com as mulheres, e Maria mãe de Jesus, e com seus irmãos.
All these, with one mind, continued in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 E n'aquelles dias, levantando-se Pedro no meio dos discipulos, disse (ora a multidão junta era de quasi cento e vinte pessoas):
And in those days Peter arose in the midst of the disciples, (the number of the names together was about a hundred and twenty, ) and said:
16 Varões irmãos, convinha que se cumprisse a Escriptura que o Espirito Sancto predisse pela bocca de David, ácerca de Judas, que foi o guia d'aquelles que prenderam a Jesus;
Brethren, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit had before spoken by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was a guide to those who took Jesus:
17 Porque foi contado comnosco e alcançou sorte n'este ministerio.
for he was numbered with us, and had been appointed to this ministry.
18 Ora este adquiriu um campo com o galardão da iniquidade; e, precipitando-se, arrebentou pelo meio, e todas as suas entranhas se derramaram.
Therefore he purchased a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 E foi notorio a todos os que habitam em Jerusalem; de maneira que na sua propria lingua esse campo se chama Aceldama, isto é, Campo de sangue:
And it was known to all that dwelt in Jerusalem, so that the field is called, in their own language, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.
20 Porque no livro dos Psalmos está escripto: Fique deserta a sua habitação, e não haja quem n'ella habite, e tome outro o seu bispado.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in it, and, His office let another take.
21 É necessario pois que, dos varões que conviveram comnosco todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus entrou e saiu d'entre nós,
Therefore, of these men who have associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Começando desde o baptismo de João até ao dia em que d'entre nós foi recebido em cima, um d'elles se faça comnosco testemunha da sua resurreição.
beginning from the immersion of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, must one be appointed as a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 E apresentaram dois: José, chamado Barsabbás, que tinha por sobrenome o Justo, e Matthias.
And they set apart two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias;
24 E, orando, disseram: Tu, Senhor, conhecedor dos corações de todos, mostra qual d'estes dois tens escolhido,
and praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, make known which of these two thou hast chosen,
25 Para que tome parte n'este ministerio e apostolado, de que Judas se desviou, para ir para o seu proprio logar.
that he may be appointed to this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 E lançaram-lhes sortes, e caiu a sorte sobre Matthias. E por voto commum foi contado com os onze apostolos.
And they gave in their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias: and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
