< Atos 21 >
1 E aconteceu que, separando-nos d'elles, navegámos e fomos correndo caminho direito, e chegámos a Coos, e no dia seguinte a Rhodes, de onde passámos a Patara.
And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there to Patara,
2 E, achando um navio, que passava á Phenicia, embarcámos n'elle, e partimos.
and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
3 E, indo já á vista de Chypre, deixando-a á esquerda, navegámos para a Syria, e chegámos a Tyro; porque o navio havia de ser descarregado ali.
and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
4 E, achando discipulos, ficámos nós ali sete dias: os quaes pelo Espirito diziam a Paulo que não subisse a Jerusalem.
And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
5 E, havendo passado ali aquelles dias, saimos, e seguimos nosso caminho, acompanhando-nos todos, com suas mulheres e filhos, até fóra da cidade; e, postos de joelhos na praia, orámos.
but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, we prayed,
6 E, saudando-nos uns aos outros, subimos ao navio; e elles voltaram para suas casas.
and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
7 E nós, concluida a navegação de Tyro, viemos a Ptolemaida; e, havendo saudado os irmãos, ficámos com elles um dia.
And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
8 E no dia seguinte, partindo d'ali Paulo, e nós que com elle estavamos, chegámos a Cesarea: e, entrando em casa de Philippe, o evangelista, que era um dos sete, ficámos com elle.
and on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,
9 E tinha este quatro filhas donzellas, que prophetizavam.
and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
10 E, demorando-nos ali por muitos dias, desceu da Judea um propheta, por nome Agabo;
And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
11 E, vindo elle a nós, e tomando a cinta de Paulo, e ligando-se os pés e mãos, disse: Isto diz o Espirito Sancto: Assim ligarão os judeos em Jerusalem o varão cuja é esta cinta, e o entregarão nas mãos dos gentios
and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
12 E, ouvindo nós isto, rogámos-lhe, tanto nós como os que eram d'aquelle logar, que não subisse a Jerusalem.
And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
13 Porém Paulo respondeu: Que fazeis vós, chorando e magoando-me o coração? porque eu estou prompto, não só a ser ligado, mas ainda a morrer em Jerusalem pelo nome do Senhor Jesus
and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus”;
14 E, como não podiamos persuadil-o, nos aquietámos, dizendo: Faça-se a vontade do Senhor.
and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
15 E depois d'aquelles dias, havendo feito os nossos preparativos, subimos a Jerusalem.
And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
16 E foram tambem comnosco alguns discipulos de Cesarea, levando comsigo um certo Mnason, chyprio, discipulo antigo, com o qual haviamos de pousar.
and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
17 E, logo que chegámos a Jerusalem, os irmãos nos receberam de muito boa vontade.
And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
18 E no dia seguinte, Paulo entrou comnosco em casa de Thiago, e todos os anciãos vieram ali.
and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
19 E, havendo-os saudado, contou-lhes por miudo o que por seu ministerio Deus fizera entre os gentios.
and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
20 E, ouvindo-o elles, glorificaram ao Senhor, e disseram-lhe: Bem vês, irmão, quantos milhares de judeos ha que crêem, e todos são zeladores da lei
and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the Law,
21 E já ácerca de ti foram informados que ensinas todos os judeos que estão entre os gentios a apartarem-se de Moysés, dizendo que não devem circumcidar a seus filhos, nem andar segundo o costume da lei.
and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
22 Que faremos pois? em todo o caso é necessario que a multidão se ajunte; porque ouvirão que já és vindo.
what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Faze pois isto que te dizemos: Temos quatro varões que fizeram voto.
This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
24 Toma comtigo a estes, e sanctifica-te com elles, e faze por elles os gastos para que rapem a cabeça, e todos saibam que nada ha d'aquillo de que foram informados ácerca de ti, mas que tambem tu mesmo andas guardando a lei.
having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—keeping the Law.
25 Porém, quanto aos que crêem dos gentios, já nós havemos escripto, e achado por bem, que nada d'isto observem; mas que só se guardem do que se sacrifica aos idolos, e do sangue, e do suffocado e da fornicação.
And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
26 Então Paulo, tomando comsigo aquelles varões, sanctificado com elles, entrou no dia seguinte no templo, annunciando serem já cumpridos os dias da sanctificação, ficando ali até se offerecer por cada um d'elles a offerta.
Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
27 E, indo-se já acabando os sete dias, os judeos da Asia, vendo-o no templo, alvoroçaram todo o povo e lançaram mão d'elle,
And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
28 Clamando: Varões israelitas, acudi: este é o homem que por todas as partes ensina a todos, contra o povo e contra a lei, e contra este logar; e, demais d'isto, introduziu tambem no templo os gregos, e profanou este sancto logar.
crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”;
29 Porque d'antes tinham visto com elle na cidade a Trophimo d'Epheso, ao qual pensavam que Paulo introduzira no templo.
for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
30 E alvoroçou-se toda a cidade, e fez-se um concurso de povo; e, pegando de Paulo, o arrastaram para fóra do templo, e logo as portas se fecharam.
All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
31 E, procurando elles matal-o, chegou ao tribuno da cohorte a nova de que Jerusalem estava toda em confusão.
and they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
32 O qual, tomando logo comsigo soldados e centuriões, correu para elles. E, vendo elles o tribuno e os soldados, cessaram de ferir a Paulo.
who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
33 Então, chegando o tribuno, o prendeu e o mandou atar com duas cadeias. e lhe perguntou quem era e o que tinha feito.
Then the chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
34 E na multidão uns clamavam d'uma maneira outros d'outra; porém, como nada podia saber ao certo, por causa do alvoroço, mandou conduzil-o para a fortaleza.
and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
35 E succedeu que, chegando ás escadas, os soldados tiveram de lhe pegar por causa da violencia da multidão.
and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
36 Porque a multidão do povo o seguia, clamando: Mata-o.
for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
37 E, quando iam a introduzir Paulo na fortaleza, disse Paulo ao tribuno: É-me permittido dizer-te alguma coisa? E elle disse: Sabes o grego?
And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
38 Não és tu porventura aquelle egypcio que antes d'estes dias levantou uma sedição e levou ao deserto quatro mil salteadores?
Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
39 Porém Paulo lhe disse: Na verdade que sou um homem judeo, cidadão de Tarso, cidade não pouco celebre na Cilicia: rogo-te, porém, que me permittas fallar ao povo.
And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
40 E, havendo-lh'o permittido, Paulo, pondo-se em pé nas escadas, fez signal com a mão ao povo; e, feito grande silencio, fallou-lhes em lingua hebraica, dizendo:
And he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
