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.
When we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran before the wind to Cos; the next day we came to Rhodes, and from there to Patara,
2 E, achando um navio, que passava á Phenicia, embarcámos n'elle, e partimos.
where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.
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.
After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 E, achando discipulos, ficámos nós ali sete dias: os quaes pelo Espirito diziam a Paulo que não subisse a Jerusalem.
There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in 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.
However, when we had come to the end of our visit, we went on our way, all the disciples with their wives and children escorting us out of the city. We knelt down on the beach, and prayed,
6 E, saudando-nos uns aos outros, subimos ao navio; e elles voltaram para suas casas.
and then said good-bye to one another; after which we went on board, and they returned home.
7 E nós, concluida a navegação de Tyro, viemos a Ptolemaida; e, havendo saudado os irmãos, ficámos com elles um dia.
After we had made the run from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, and exchanged greetings with the Brethren there, and spent a 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.
The next day we left, and reached Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the Missionary, who was one of ‘the Seven,’ and stayed with him.
9 E tinha este quatro filhas donzellas, que prophetizavam.
He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.
10 E, demorando-nos ali por muitos dias, desceu da Judea um propheta, por nome Agabo;
During our visit, which lasted several days, a Prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
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
He came to see us, and, taking Paul’s girdle, and binding his own feet and hands with it, said: “This is what the Holy Spirit says — ‘The man to whom this girdle belongs will be bound like this at Jerusalem by the Jews, and they will give him up to the Gentiles’.”
12 E, ouvindo nós isto, rogámos-lhe, tanto nós como os que eram d'aquelle logar, que não subisse a Jerusalem.
When we heard that, we and the people of the place began to entreat Paul 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
It was then that Paul made the reply: “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death 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.
So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding — “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 E depois d'aquelles dias, havendo feito os nossos preparativos, subimos a Jerusalem.
At the end of our visit, we made our preparations, and started on our way 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.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, and brought Mnason with them, a Cypriot disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
17 E, logo que chegámos a Jerusalem, os irmãos nos receberam de muito boa vontade.
On our arrival at Jerusalem, the Brethren there gave us a hearty welcome;
18 E no dia seguinte, Paulo entrou comnosco em casa de Thiago, e todos os anciãos vieram ali.
and the next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the Officers of the Church were present.
19 E, havendo-os saudado, contou-lhes por miudo o que por seu ministerio Deus fizera entre os gentios.
After greeting them, Paul related in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts;
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, when they had heard it, they began praising God, and said to Paul: “You see, Brother, that the Jews who have become believers in Christ may be numbered by tens of thousands, and they are all naturally earnest in upholding the Jewish 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.
Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all Jews in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.
22 Que faremos pois? em todo o caso é necessario que a multidão se ajunte; porque ouvirão que já és vindo.
Well now, as they are certain to hear of your arrival, do what we are going to suggest.
23 Faze pois isto que te dizemos: Temos quatro varões que fizeram voto.
We have four men here, who have of their own accord put themselves under a vow.
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.
Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish 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.
As to the Gentiles who have become believers in Christ, we have sent our decision that they should avoid food offered to idols, and blood, and the flesh of strangled animals, and impurity.”
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.
On this, Paul joined the men, and the next day shared their purification, and went into the Temple, and gave notice of the expiration of the period of purification when the usual offering should have been made on behalf of each 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,
But, just as the seven days were drawing to a close, the Jews from Roman Asia caught sight of Paul in the Temple, and caused great excitement among all the people present, by seizing Paul and shouting:
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.
“Men of Israel! help! This is the man who teaches every one everywhere against our People, our Law, and this Place; and, what is more, he has actually brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled this sacred 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 previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in Paul’s company in the city, and were under the belief that Paul had taken him 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.
The whole city was stirred, and the people quickly collected, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple, when the doors were immediately shut.
31 E, procurando elles matal-o, chegou ao tribuno da cohorte a nova de que Jerusalem estava toda em confusão.
They were bent upon killing him, when it was reported to the Officer commanding the garrison, that all Jerusalem was in commotion.
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.
He instantly got together some officers and men, and charged down upon the crowd, who, when they saw the Commanding Officer and his men, stopped 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 he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had 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.
Some of the crowd said one thing, and some another; and, as he could get no definite reply on account of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
35 E succedeu que, chegando ás escadas, os soldados tiveram de lhe pegar por causa da violencia da multidão.
When Paul reached the steps, he was actually being carried by the soldiers, owing to the violence of the mob;
36 Porque a multidão do povo o seguia, clamando: Mata-o.
for the people were following in a mass, shouting out: “Kill 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?
Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the Commanding Officer: “May I speak to you?” “Do you know Greek?” asked the Commanding Officer.
38 Não és tu porventura aquelle egypcio que antes d'estes dias levantou uma sedição e levou ao deserto quatro mil salteadores?
“Are not you, then, the Egyptian who some time ago raised an insurrection and led the four thousand Bandits out into the Wilderness?”
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.
“No,” said Paul, “I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note; and I beg you to give me permission 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:
The Commanding Officer gave his permission, and Paul, standing on the steps, made signs with his hand to the people, and, when comparative silence had been obtained, he spoke to them in Hebrew, as follows:
