Atos 19
1 E succedeu que, emquanto Apollo estava em Corintho, Paulo, tendo passado por todas as regiões superiores, chegou a Epheso; e, achando ali alguns discipulos,
And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples,
2 Disse-lhes: Recebestes vós já o Espirito Sancto quando crêstes? E elles disseram-lhe: Antes nem ainda ouvimos que haja Espirito Sancto.
and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given).
3 Disse-lhes então: Em que sois baptizados então? E elles disseram: No baptismo de João.
And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.
4 Porém Paulo disse: Certamente João baptizou com o baptismo do arrependimento, dizendo ao povo que crêsse no que após elle havia de vir, isto é, em Jesus Christo.
And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on the one coming after him, that is Jesus.
5 E os que ouviram foram baptizados em nome do Senhor Jesus.
And they, having heard, were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 E, impondo-lhes Paulo as mãos, veiu sobre elles o Espirito Sancto; e fallavam diversas linguas, e prophetizavam.
and Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy.
7 E estes eram, ao todo, quasi doze varões.
And they were all about twelve men.
8 E, entrando na synagoga, fallou ousadamente por espaço de tres mezes, disputando e persuadindo ácerca do reino de Deus.
And having come into the synagogue, he preached boldly three months, expounding and persuading them as to the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 Mas, endurecendo-se alguns, e não obedecendo, e fallando mal do caminho do Senhor perante a multidão, retirou-se d'elles, e separou os discipulos, disputando todos os dias na escola de um certo Tyranno.
But when some were becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding in the school of Tyrannus.
10 E durou isto por espaço de dois annos; de tal maneira que todos os que habitavam na Asia, ouviram a palavra do Senhor Jesus, assim judeos como gregos.
And this took place two years; so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
11 E Deus pelas mãos de Paulo fazia maravilhas extraordinarias.
And God was working great miracles through the hands of Paul;
12 De tal maneira que até os lenços e aventaes do seu corpo se levavam aos enfermos, e as enfermidades fugiam d'elles, e os espiritos malignos sahiam.
so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them.
13 E alguns dos exorcistas judeos vagabundos tentavam invocar o nome do Senhor Jesus sobre os que tinham espiritos malignos, dizendo: Esconjuramos-vos por Jesus a quem Paulo préga.
And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching.
14 E os que faziam isto eram sete filhos de Sceva, judeo, principal dos sacerdotes.
And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this.
15 Respondendo, porém, o espirito maligno, disse: Conheço a Jesus, e bem sei quem é Paulo; porém vós quem sois
But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you?
16 E, saltando n'elles o homem em que estava o espirito maligno, e assenhoreando-se d'elles, poude mais do que elles; de tal maneira que, nús e feridos, fugiram d'aquella casa.
And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 E foi isto notorio a todos os que habitavam em Epheso, tanto judeos como gregos; e caiu temor sobre todos elles, e o nome do Senhor Jesus era engrandecido.
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified;
18 E muitos dos que criam vinham, confessando e publicando os seus feitos.
and many of those having believed came, confessing, and renouncing their practices.
19 Tambem muitos dos que seguiam artes curiosas trouxeram os seus livros, e os queimaram na presença de todos, e, feita a conta do seu preço, acharam que montava a cincoenta mil peças de prata.
And many of those practicing curious arts, having brought their books, burnt them before all: and they estimated the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Assim a palavra do Senhor crescia poderosamente e prevalecia.
Thus the word of the Lord increased and accumulated strength according to His power.
21 E, cumpridas estas coisas, Paulo propoz-se, em espirito, ir a Jerusalem, passando pela Macedonia e pela Achaia, dizendo: Depois que houver estado ali, importa-me vêr tambem Roma.
And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome.
22 E, enviando á Macedonia dois d'aquelles que o serviam, Timotheo e Erasto, ficou elle por algum tempo na Asia.
And having sent two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, himself spent the time in Asia.
23 Porém, n'aquelle mesmo tempo, houve um não pequeno alvoroço ácerca do caminho do Senhor.
And at that time there was no small commotion concerning the way.
24 Porque um certo ourives da prata, por nome Demetrio, que fazia de prata nichos de Diana, dava não pouco lucro aos artifices,
For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing no small gain to the mechanics,
25 Aos quaes, havendo-os ajuntado com os officiaes de obras similhantes, disse: Varões, vós bem sabeis que d'este officio temos a nossa prosperidade:
whom having assembled and the laborers about such things, he said, Men, you know that it is from this work that prosperity is to us:
26 E bem vêdes e ouvis que não só em Epheso, mas até quasi em toda a Asia, este Paulo tem persuadido e afastado uma grande multidão, dizendo que não são deuses os que se fazem com as mãos.
and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands.
27 E não sómente ha o perigo de que isto venha a servir-nos de desprezo, mas tambem de que o proprio templo da grande deusa Diana seja estimado em nada, e de que a sua magestade, a qual toda a Asia e o mundo inteiro veneram, venha a ser destruida.
And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships.
28 E, ouvindo-o, encheram-se de ira, e clamaram, dizendo: Grande é a Diana dos ephesios.
And hearing and being filled with rage, they continued to cry out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 E encheu-se de confusão toda a cidade; e unanimes arremetteram ao theatro, arrebatando comsigo a Gaio e a Aristarcho, macedonios, companheiros de Paulo na viagem.
And the city was filled with commotion: and they rushed of one accord into the theatre, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, the companions of Paul.
30 E, querendo Paulo apresentar-se ao povo, não lh'o permittiram os discipulos.
And Paul wishing to go in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not;
31 E tambem alguns dos principaes da Asia, que eram seus amigos, lhe enviaram, rogando que não se apresentasse no theatro.
and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre.
32 Uns pois clamavam de uma maneira, outros d'outra, porque o ajuntamento era confuso; e os mais d'elles não sabiam por que causa se tinham ajuntado.
Then indeed they continued to cry out some one thing, and some another: for the church was confused; and the most of them did not know on account of what they had come together.
33 Então tiraram Alexandre d'entre a multidão, impellindo-o os judeos para diante; e Alexandre, acenando com a mão, queria dar razão d'isto ao povo.
And some from the crowd forced in Alexander, the Jews precipitating him forward; and Alexander, beckoning with his hand, wished to apologize to the people.
34 Porém, conhecendo que era judeo, todos unanimemente levantaram a voz, clamando por espaço de quasi duas horas: Grande é a Diana dos ephesios.
But recognizing that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying out about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 Então o escrivão da cidade, tendo apaziguado a multidão, disse: Varões ephesios, qual é o homem que não sabe que a cidade dos ephesios é a guardadora do templo da grande deusa Diana, e da imagem que desceu de Jupiter?
And the city clerk having dismissed the multitudes, said, Ephesian men, for what one of men is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the statue having fallen down from Jupiter?
36 De sorte que, não podendo isto ser contradito, convém que vos applaqueis, e nada façaes temerariamente;
Therefore these things being unquestionable, it is necessary that you become calm, and do nothing rashly.
37 Porque estes homens que aqui trouxestes nem são sacrilegos nem blasphemam da vossa deusa:
For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess.
38 Porém, se Demetrio e os artifices que estão com elle teem alguma coisa contra alguem, dão-se audiencias e ha proconsules: que se accusem uns aos outros;
If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead one another.
39 E, se alguma outra coisa demandaes, averiguar-se-ha em legitimo ajuntamento.
But if you are seeking something concerning other things, it shall be settled in the lawful church.
40 Porque corremos perigo de que, por hoje, sejamos accusados de sedição, não havendo causa alguma com que possamos justificar este concurso.
For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar.
41 E, tendo dito isto, despediu o ajuntamento.
And having said these things, he dismissed the church.
