Atos 15
1 Então alguns que tinham descido da Judea ensinavam os irmãos, dizendo: Se vos não circumcidardes, conforme o uso de Moysés, não podeis salvar-vos.
And certain men came down from Judea, and taught the brethren, saying: Unless you be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you can not be saved.
2 Feita pois por Paulo e Barnabé não pequena dissensão e contenda contra elles, resolveu-se que Paulo e Barnabé, e alguns d'entre elles, subissem a Jerusalem, aos apostolos e aos anciãos, sobre aquella questão.
Therefore, after Paul and Barnabas had no little dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from among them, should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
3 De sorte que elles, acompanhados pela egreja, passavam pela Phenicia e por Samaria, contando a conversão dos gentios; e davam grande alegria a todos os irmãos.
Being, therefore, con ducted on their journey by the church, they passed through Phenicia and Samaria, making known the conversion of the Gentiles; and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
4 E, vindos a Jerusalem, foram recebidos pela egreja e pelos apostolos e anciãos, e lhes annunciavam quão grandes coisas Deus tinha feito com elles.
When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles and elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.
5 Porém alguns da seita dos phariseos, que tinham crido, se levantaram, dizendo que era mister circumcidal-os e mandar-lhes que guardassem a lei de Moysés.
But some of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, arose, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Congregaram-se pois os apostolos e os anciãos para examinar este negocio.
And the apostles and elders came together to deliberate about this matter.
7 E, havendo grande contenda, levanou-se Pedro e disse-lhes: Varões irmãos, bem sabeis que já ha muito tempo Deus me elegeu d'entre nós, para que os gentios ouvissem da minha bocca a palavra do evangelho, e cressem.
And after there had been much disputing, Peter arose, and said to them: Brethren, you know that, at the beginning, God made choice among us, that, by my mouth, the Gentiles should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.
8 E Deus, que conhece os corações, deu testemunho d'elles, dando-lhes o Espirito Sancto, assim como tambem a nós;
And God, who knows the heart, became a witness for them, by giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it also to us;
9 E não fez differença alguma entre elles e nós, purificando os seus corações pela fé.
and he made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Agora, pois, porque tentaes a Deus, pondo sobre a cerviz dos discipulos um jugo que nem nossos paes nem nós podémos supportar?
Now, therefore, why do you put God to the proof, by placing a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we ourselves, were able to bear?
11 Antes crêmos que seremos salvos pela graça do Senhor Jesus Christo, como elles tambem.
But we believe that we shall be saved, even as they, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
12 Então toda a multidão se calou, e escutava a Barnabé e a Paulo, que contavam quão grandes signaes e prodigios Deus havia feito por meio d'elles entre os gentios.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they made known what signs and wonders God had done by them among the Gentiles.
13 E, havendo-se elles calado, tomou Thiago a palavra, dizendo: Varões irmãos, ouvi-me:
And after they were silent, James answered and said: Brethren, hear me;
14 Simão relatou como Deus primeiramente visitou os gentios, para tomar d'elles um povo para o seu nome.
Simeon has declared how God, at the first, did visit the Gentiles, in order to take out from among them a people for his name.
15 E com isto concordam as palavras dos prophetas; como está escripto:
And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 Depois d'isto voltarei, e reedificarei o tabernaculo de David, que está caido, e reedificarei as suas ruinas, e tornarei a levantal-o.
After this I will return, and build again the tabernacle of David which has fallen down; and I will build again its ruins, and I will set it up;
17 Para que o resto dos homens busque ao Senhor, e todos os gentios, sobre os quaes o meu nome é invocado, diz o Senhor, que faz todas estas coisas.
that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name has been called, says the Lord, who does all these things.
Known to God from eternity are all bis works. (aiōn g165)
19 Pelo que julgo que não se deve perturbar aquelles, d'entre os gentios, que se convertem a Deus,
For these reasons, my judgment is, that we give no trouble to those who, from among the Gentiles, have turned to God;
20 Mas escrever-lhes que se abstenham das contaminações dos idolos, e da fornicação, e das carnes suffocadas e do sangue.
but that we write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from lewdness, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Porque Moysés, desde os tempos antigos, tem em cada cidade quem o prégue, e cada sabbado é lido nas synagogas.
For, from ancient times, Moses has, in every city, those who preach him, being read in the synagogue every sabbath-day.
22 Então pareceu bem aos apostolos e aos anciãos, com toda a egreja, eleger d'elles alguns varões, e envial-os com Paulo e Barnabé a Antiochia, a saber: Judas, chamado Barsabbás, e Silas, varões distinctos entre os irmãos.
Then it pleased the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves; Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren;
23 E por elles escreveram o seguinte: Os apostolos, e os anciãos e os irmãos, aos irmãos d'entre os gentios que estão em Antiochia, e Syria e Cilicia, saude.
and they wrote by their hands as follows: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
24 Porquanto ouvimos que alguns que sairam d'entre nós vos perturbaram com palavras, e transtornaram as vossas almas, dizendo que devieis circumcidar-vos e guardar a lei, aos quaes nada mandámos:
Inasmuch as we have heard that certain persons went out from us and troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, That you must be circumcised, and keep the law, to whom we gave no commandment,
25 Pareceu-nos bem, reunidos concordemente, eleger alguns varões, e envial-os com os nossos amados Barnabé e Paulo,
it has seemed good to us, having come together with one mind, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Homens que já expozeram as suas vidas pelo nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo.
men who have endangered their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Enviamos pois Judas e Silas, os quaes de bocca vos annunciarão tambem o mesmo.
We have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things in word.
28 Porque pareceu bem ao Espirito Sancto, e a nós, não vos impôr mais encargo algum, senão estas coisas necessarias:
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
29 Que vos abstenhaes das coisas sacrificadas aos idolos, e do sangue, e da carne suffocada, e da fornicação: das quaes coisas fazeis bem se vos guardardes. Bem vos vá.
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from lewdness; from which if you keep yourselves carefully, you will do well. Farewell.
30 Tendo-se elles pois despedido, partiram para Antiochia, e, ajuntando a multidão, entregaram a carta.
So when these men were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and having assembled the multitude, they delivered this letter.
31 E, lendo-a, alegraram-se, pela consolação a que lhes causava.
When they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation which it gave.
32 Depois Judas e Silas, que tambem eram prophetas, exhortaram e confirmaram os irmãos com muitas palavras.
And Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and strengthened them.
33 E, detendo-se ali algum tempo, os irmãos os deixaram voltar em paz para os apostolos;
And after spending some time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren, to those who had sent them.
34 Mas pareceu bem a Silas ficar ali.
But it pleased Silas to remain there.
35 E Paulo e Barnabé ficaram em Antiochia, ensinando e prégando, com muitos outros, a palavra do Senhor.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 E alguns dias depois disse Paulo a Barnabé: Tornemos a visitar nossos irmãos por cada cidade em que já annunciámos a palavra do Senhor, a vêr como estão.
And, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, let us return, and visit our brethren in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 E Barnabé aconselhava que tomassem comsigo a João, chamado Marcos.
And Barnabas determined to take with him John, whose surname was Mark.
38 Mas a Paulo parecia razoavel que não tomassem comsigo aquelle que desde Pamphylia se tinha apartado d'elles, e não tinha ido com elles áquella obra.
But Paul did not think it proper to take with them him who had departed from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work.
39 E tal contenda houve entre elles, que se apartaram um do outro. Barnabé, levando comsigo a Marcos, navegou para Chypre.
There was, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other: and Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.
40 E Paulo, tendo escolhido a Silas, partiu, encommendado pelos irmãos á graça de Deus.
But Paul chose Silas, and departed, having been commended to the grace of God by the brethren.
41 E foi passando por Syria e Cilicia, confirmando as egrejas.
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
