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, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 E, achando um navio, que passava á Phenicia, embarcámos n'elle, e partimos.
Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
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 that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 E, achando discipulos, ficámos nós ali sete dias: os quaes pelo Espirito diziam a Paulo que não subisse a Jerusalem.
Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed 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.
When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 E, saudando-nos uns aos outros, subimos ao navio; e elles voltaram para suas casas.
we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
7 E nós, concluida a navegação de Tyro, viemos a Ptolemaida; e, havendo saudado os irmãos, ficámos com elles um dia.
As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained 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.
On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 E tinha este quatro filhas donzellas, que prophetizavam.
Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
10 E, demorando-nos ali por muitos dias, desceu da Judea um propheta, por nome Agabo;
and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
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
When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
12 E, ouvindo nós isto, rogámos-lhe, tanto nós como os que eram d'aquelle logar, que não subisse a Jerusalem.
As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated 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
His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
14 E, como não podiamos persuadil-o, nos aquietámos, dizendo: Faça-se a vontade do Senhor.
So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
15 E depois d'aquelles dias, havendo feito os nossos preparativos, subimos a Jerusalem.
A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey 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 also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
17 E, logo que chegámos a Jerusalem, os irmãos nos receberam de muito boa vontade.
At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
18 E no dia seguinte, Paulo entrou comnosco em casa de Thiago, e todos os anciãos vieram ali.
On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
19 E, havendo-os saudado, contou-lhes por miudo o que por seu ministerio Deus fizera entre os gentios.
After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
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, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders 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.
Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
22 Que faremos pois? em todo o caso é necessario que a multidão se ajunte; porque ouvirão que já és vindo.
What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
23 Faze pois isto que te dizemos: Temos quatro varões que fizeram voto.
so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
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.
Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey 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.
But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
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.
So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
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, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against 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.
They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated 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 previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought 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 excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
31 E, procurando elles matal-o, chegou ao tribuno da cohorte a nova de que Jerusalem estava toda em confusão.
But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
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 sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased 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 Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask 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 shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
35 E succedeu que, chegando ás escadas, os soldados tiveram de lhe pegar por causa da violencia da multidão.
When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
36 Porque a multidão do povo o seguia, clamando: Mata-o.
for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "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?
When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
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 the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out 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.
"I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, 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:
So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
