Atos 28
1 E, havendo escapado, então souberam que a ilha se chamava Melita.
AND when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 E os barbaros usaram comnosco de não pouca humanidade; porque, accendendo um grande fogo, nos recolheram a todos por causa da chuva que sobrevinha, e por causa do frio.
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 E, havendo Paulo ajuntado uma quantidade de vides, e pondo-as no fogo, uma vibora, fugindo do calor, lhe accommetteu a mão.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 E os barbaros, vendo-lhe a bicha pendurada na mão, diziam uns aos outros: Certamente este homem é homicida, a quem, escapando do mar, a Justiça não deixa viver.
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 Porém, sacudindo elle a bicha no fogo, não padeceu nenhum mal.
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 E elles esperavam que viesse a inchar ou a cair morto de repente; porém, tendo esperado já muito, e vendo que nenhum incommodo lhe sobrevinha, mudando de parecer, diziam que era um deus.
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 E ali, proximo d'aquelle mesmo logar, havia umas herdades que pertenciam ao principal da ilha, por nome Publio, o qual nos recebeu e hospedou benignamente por tres dias.
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 E aconteceu que o pae de Publio estava de cama enfermo de febres e dysenteria, ao qual Paulo foi ver, e, havendo orado, poz as mãos sobre elle, e o curou.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Feito pois isto, vieram tambem ter com elle os demais que na ilha tinham enfermidades, e sararam.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Os quaes nos honraram tambem com muitas honras: e, havendo de navegar, nos proveram das coisas necessarias.
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 E tres mezes depois partimos n'um navio de Alexandria que invernára na ilha, o qual tinha por insignia Castor e Pollux.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 E, chegando a Syracusa, ficámos ali tres dias.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 D'onde, indo costeando, viemos a Rhegio; e um dia depois, soprando um vento do sul, chegámos no segundo dia a Puteolos.
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 Onde, achando alguns irmãos, nos rogaram que por sete dias ficassemos com elles; e assim fomos a Roma.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 E de lá, ouvindo os irmãos novas de nós, nos sairam ao encontro á praça d'Appio e ás tres Vendas, e Paulo, vendo-os, deu graças a Deus, e tomou animo.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 E, logo que chegámos a Roma, o centurião entregou os presos ao general dos exercitos; porém a Paulo se lhe permittiu morar sobre si á parte, com o soldado que o guardava.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
17 E aconteceu que, tres dias depois, Paulo convocou os que eram principaes dos judeos, e, juntos elles, lhes disse: Varões irmãos, não havendo eu feito nada contra o povo, ou contra os ritos paternos, vim todavia preso desde Jerusalem, entregue nas mãos dos romanos;
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Os quaes, havendo-me examinado, queriam soltar-me, por não haver em mim crime algum de morte.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Porém, oppondo-se os judeos, foi-me forçoso appellar para Cesar, não tendo, comtudo, de que accusar a minha nação.
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 Assim que por esta causa vos chamei, para vos ver e fallar; porque pela esperança d'Israel estou com esta cadeia.
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21 Porém elles lhe disseram: Nós não recebemos ácerca de ti cartas algumas da Judea, nem, vindo aqui algum dos irmãos, nos annunciou ou fallou de ti mal algum.
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
22 Porém bem quizeramos ouvir de ti o que sentes; porque, quanto a esta seita, notorio nos é que em toda a parte se falla contra ella.
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 E, havendo-lhe elles assignalado um dia, muitos foram ter com elle á pousada, aos quaes declarava e testificava o reino de Deus, e procurava persuadil-os á fé de Jesus, tanto pela lei de Moysés como pelos prophetas, desde pela manhã até á tarde.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 E alguns criam no que se dizia; porém outros não criam.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 E, como ficaram entre si discordes, se despediram, dizendo Paulo esta palavra: Bem fallou o Espirito Sancto a nossos paes pelo propheta Isaias,
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Dizendo: Vae a este povo, e dize: De ouvido ouvireis, e de maneira nenhuma entendereis; e, vendo, vereis, e de maneira nenhuma percebereis.
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 Porque o coração d'este povo está endurecido, e com os ouvidos ouviram pesadamente, e fecharam os olhos, para que nunca com os olhos vejam, nem com os ouvidos ouçam, nem do coração entendam, e se convertam e eu os cure.
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Seja-vos pois notorio que esta salvação de Deus é enviada aos gentios, e elles a ouvirão.
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 E, havendo elle dito isto, partiram os judeos, tendo entre si grande contenda.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 E Paulo ficou dois annos inteiros na sua propria habitação que alugára, e recebia todos quantos vinham vêl-o;
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Prégando o reino de Deus, e ensinando com toda a ousadia as coisas pertencentes ao Senhor Jesus Christo, sem impedimento algum.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
