Atos 28
1 E, havendo escapado, então souberam que a ilha se chamava Melita.
And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
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 foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing 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.
but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—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 foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
5 Porém, sacudindo elle a bicha no fogo, não padeceu nenhum mal.
he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
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.
and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said 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.
And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
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, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
9 Feito pois isto, vieram tambem ter com elle os demais que na ilha tinham enfermidades, e sararam.
this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
10 Os quaes nos honraram tambem com muitas honras: e, havendo de navegar, nos proveram das coisas necessarias.
who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that 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 set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
12 E, chegando a Syracusa, ficámos ali tres dias.
and having landed at Syracuse, we remained 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.
there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
14 Onde, achando alguns irmãos, nos rogaram que por sete dias ficassemos com elles; e assim fomos a Roma.
where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to 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 there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, 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 up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding 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 after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up 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 having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being 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.
and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything 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, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of 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 to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
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.
and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
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 having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
24 E alguns criam no que se dizia; porém outros não criam.
and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
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 not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to 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 on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will 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 was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
28 Seja-vos pois notorio que esta salvação de Deus é enviada aos gentios, e elles a ouvirão.
Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
29 E, havendo elle dito isto, partiram os judeos, tendo entre si grande contenda.
[[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
30 E Paulo ficou dois annos inteiros na sua propria habitação que alugára, e recebia todos quantos vinham vêl-o;
and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to 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 the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
