Atos 16
1 E chegou a Derbe e Lystra. E eis que estava ali um certo discipulo por nome Timotheo, filho de uma mulher judia fiel, mas de pae grego:
And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
2 Do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos que estavam em Lystra e em Iconio.
A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paulo quiz que este fosse com elle: e tomando-o, o circumcidou, por causa dos judeos que estavam n'aquelles logares; porque todos sabiam que seu pae era grego.
This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 E, quando iam passando pelas cidades, lhes entregavam, para serem observados, os decretos que haviam sido estabelecidos pelos apostolos e anciãos em Jerusalem.
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
5 De sorte que as egrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e cada dia se augmentavam em numero.
Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
6 E, passando pela Phrygia e pela provincia da Galacia, foram impedidos pelo Espirito Sancto de annunciar a palavra na Asia.
When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 E, quando chegaram a Mysia, intentavam ir para Bithynia, porém o Espirito não lh'o permittiu.
and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
8 E, passando por Mysia, desceram a Troas.
But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 E Paulo viu de noite uma visão, em que se apresentou um varão da Macedonia, e lhe rogou, dizendo: Passa á Macedonia, e ajuda-nos.
And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us.
10 E, logo que viu a visão, procurámos partir para a Macedonia, concluindo que o Senhor nos chamava para lhes annunciarmos o evangelho.
After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 E, navegando de Troas, fomos correndo caminho direito para Samothracia, e no dia seguinte para Napoles;
Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
12 E d'ali para Philippos, que é a primeira cidade d'esta parte da Macedonia, e é uma colonia; e estivemos alguns dias n'aquella cidade.
and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
13 E no dia de sabbado saimos fóra da cidade para o rio, onde se costumava fazer oração; e, assentando-nos, fallámos ás mulheres que ali se ajuntaram.
and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 E uma certa mulher, chamada Lydia, vendedora de purpura, da cidade de Thyatira, e que servia a Deus, nos ouvia, e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para que estivesse attenta ao que Paulo dizia.
And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
15 E, depois que foi baptizada, ella e a sua casa, nos rogou, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrae em minha casa, e ficae ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.
And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.
16 E aconteceu que, indo nós á oração, nos saiu ao encontro uma moça que tinha espirito de adivinhação, a qual, adivinhando, dava grande lucro aos seus senhores.
And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
17 Esta, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens, que nos annunciam o caminho da salvação, são servos do Deus Altissimo.
She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the way of salvation.
18 E ella fazia isto por muitos dias. Porém, descontentando isto a Paulo, voltou-se, e disse ao espirito: Em nome de Jesus Christo, te mando que saias d'ella. E na mesma hora saiu.
And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 E, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro estava perdida, pegaram de Paulo e Silas, e os levaram á praça, á presença dos magistrados.
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to the rulers.
20 E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeos, perturbaram a nossa cidade,
And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
21 E prégam ritos que nos não é licito receber nem praticar, visto que somos romanos.
and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
22 E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra elles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoital-os com varas,
And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
23 E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.
And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
24 O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou no carcere mais interior, e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.
And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 E, perto da meia noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hymnos a Deus, e os outros presos os escutavam.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 E de repente sobreveiu um tão grande terremoto, que os alicerces do carcere se moveram, e logo se abriram todas as portas e se soltaram as prisões de todos.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
27 E, acordando o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirando da espada, quiz matar-se, cuidando que os presos já tinham fugido.
And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28 Porém Paulo clamou com grande voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos.
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
29 E, pedindo luz, saltou dentro, e, todo tremendo, se prostrou aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
30 E, tirando-os para fóra, disse: Senhores, que me é necessario fazer para me salvar?
and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 E elles disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Christo, e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.
They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
32 E lhe fallavam a palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
33 E, tomando-os elle comsigo n'aquella mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes os açoites; e logo foi baptizado, elle e todos os seus.
And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
34 E, levando-os a sua casa, lhes poz a mesa; e, crendo em Deus, alegrou-se com toda a sua casa.
And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
35 E, sendo já dia, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros, dizendo: Soltae aquelles homens.
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
36 E o carcereiro annunciou a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que vos soltasse; agora pois sahi, e ide em paz.
And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. Now, therefore, come out, and go in peace.
37 Porém Paulo disse-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente e, sem ser sentenciados, sendo homens romanos, nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fóra? Não será assim; mas venham elles mesmos e tirem-nos para fóra.
But Paul said to them: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead us out.
38 E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e elles temeram, ouvindo que eram romanos.
And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed when they heard that they were Romans;
39 E, vindo, lhes rogaram; e, tirando-os para fóra, lhes pediram que saissem da cidade.
and they came, and entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
40 E, saindo da prisão, entraram em casa de Lydia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e depois partiram.
And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
