Atos 17
1 E, passando por Amphipolis e Apollonia, chegaram a Thessalonica, onde havia uma synagoga de judeos.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 E Paulo, como tinha por costume, foi ter com elles; e por tres sabbados disputou com elles sobre as Escripturas,
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 Declarando-as, e demonstrando que convinha que o Christo padecesse e resuscitasse dos mortos. E este Jesus, que vos annuncio, dizia elle, é o Christo.
explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."
4 E alguns d'elles crêram, e ajuntaram-se com Paulo e Silas uma grande multidão de gregos religiosos, e não poucas mulheres principaes.
Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent women.
5 Porém os judeos desobedientes, movidos d'inveja, tomaram comsigo alguns homens malignos, d'entre os vadios, e, ajuntando o povo, alvoroçaram a cidade, e, accommettendo a casa de Jason, procuravam tiral-os para junto do povo.
But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6 E, não os achando, trouxeram com violencia a Jason, e alguns irmãos, aos magistrados da cidade, clamando: Estes que teem alvoroçado o mundo, chegaram tambem aqui;
When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7 Os quaes Jason tem recolhido; e todos estes obram contra os mandados de Cesar, dizendo que ha outro rei, a saber, Jesus.
whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
8 E alvoroçaram a multidão e os principaes da cidade, que ouviram estas coisas.
The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Tendo, porém, recebido satisfação de Jason, e dos demais, os soltaram.
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 E logo os irmãos enviaram de noite Paulo e Silas a Berea: os quaes, chegando lá, foram á synagoga dos judeos.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11 E estes foram mais nobres do que os que estavam em Thessalonica, porque de bom grado receberam a palavra, examinando cada dia nas Escripturas se estas coisas eram assim.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12 De sorte que crêram muitos d'elles, e mulheres gregas honestas, e não poucos varões.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
13 Mas, logo que os judeos de Thessalonica souberam que a palavra de Deus tambem era annunciada por Paulo em Berea, foram tambem lá, e commoveram as multidões.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
14 Porém no mesmo instante os irmãos mandaram a Paulo que fosse como para o mar, mas Silas e Timotheo ficaram ali.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
15 E os que acompanhavam Paulo o levaram até Athenas, e, recebendo ordem para que Silas e Timotheo fossem ter com elle o mais depressa possivel, partiram.
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
16 E, emquanto Paulo os esperava em Athenas, o seu espirito se commovia em si mesmo, vendo a cidade tão dada á idolatria.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 De sorte que disputava na synagoga com os judeos e religiosos, e todos os dias na praça com os que se apresentavam.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
18 E alguns dos philosophos epicureos e estoicos contendiam com elle; e uns diziam: Que quer dizer este paroleiro? E outros: Parece que é prégador de deuses estranhos. Porque lhes annunciava a Jesus e a resurreição.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
19 E, tomando-o, o levaram ao Areopago, dizendo: Poderemos nós saber que nova doutrina é essa de que fallas?
They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
20 Pois coisas estranhas nos trazes aos ouvidos: queremos pois saber o que vem a ser isto.
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
21 (Pois todos os athenienses e hospedes estrangeiros de nenhuma outra coisa se occupavam, senão de dizer e ouvir alguma coisa nova).
Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 E, estando Paulo no meio do Areopago, disse: Varões athenienses, em tudo vos vejo um tanto supersticiosos:
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23 Porque, passando eu e vendo os vossos sanctuarios, achei tambem um altar em que estava escripto: AO DEUS DESCONHECIDO. Aquelle pois que vós honraes, não o conhecendo, vos annuncio.
For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
24 O Deus que fez o mundo e todas as coisas que n'elle ha: este, sendo Senhor do céu e da terra, não habita em templos feitos por mãos de homens;
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
25 Nem tão pouco é servido por mãos de homens, como que necessitando de alguma coisa; pois é elle só quem dá a todos a vida, e a respiração, e todas as coisas;
neither is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
26 E de um sangue fez toda a geração dos homens, para habitar sobre toda a face da terra, determinando os tempos já d'antes ordenados, e os limites da sua habitação;
He made from one blood every nation of the human race to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27 Para que buscassem ao Senhor, se porventura o podessem apalpar e achar; ainda que não está longe de cada um de nós;
that they should seek God, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28 Porque n'elle vivemos, e nos movemos, e existimos; como tambem alguns dos vossos poetas disseram: Porque somos tambem sua geração.
'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
29 Sendo pois geração de Deus, não havemos de cuidar que a divindade seja similhante ao oiro, ou á prata, ou á pedra esculpida por artificio e imaginação dos homens
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
30 De sorte que Deus, dissimulando os tempos da ignorancia, annuncia agora a todos os homens, e em todo o logar, que se arrependam;
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
31 Porquanto tem determinado um dia em que com justiça ha-de julgar o mundo com justiça por aquelle varão que destinou; dando certeza a todos, resuscitando-o dos mortos.
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising him from the dead."
32 E, como ouviram da resurreição dos mortos, uns escarneciam, e outros diziam: Ácerca d'isso te ouviremos outra vez.
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
33 E assim Paulo saiu do meio d'elles.
Thus Paul went out from among them.
34 Porém, chegando alguns varões a elle, creram: entre os quaes foram Dionysio, areopagita, e uma mulher por nome Damaris, e com elles outros.
But some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
