Atos 28
1 E, havendo escapado, então souberam que a ilha se chamava Melita.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was 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.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, 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.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because 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.
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 Porém, sacudindo elle a bicha no fogo, não padeceu nenhum mal.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
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.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen 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.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained 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.
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Feito pois isto, vieram tambem ter com elle os demais que na ilha tinham enfermidades, e sararam.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Os quaes nos honraram tambem com muitas honras: e, havendo de navegar, nos proveram das coisas necessarias.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 E tres mezes depois partimos n'um navio de Alexandria que invernára na ilha, o qual tinha por insignia Castor e Pollux.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 E, chegando a Syracusa, ficámos ali tres dias.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed 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.
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on 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 we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So 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.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, 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.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded 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;
It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was 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, desired to set me free, 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 spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
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 asked to see you 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.
They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of 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.
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere 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.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 E alguns criam no que se dizia; porém outros não criam.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 E, como ficaram entre si discordes, se despediram, dizendo Paulo esta palavra: Bem fallou o Espirito Sancto a nossos paes pelo propheta Isaias,
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your 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 to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way 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 this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would 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 is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
29 E, havendo elle dito isto, partiram os judeos, tendo entre si grande contenda.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 E Paulo ficou dois annos inteiros na sua propria habitação que alugára, e recebia todos quantos vinham vêl-o;
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 Prégando o reino de Deus, e ensinando com toda a ousadia as coisas pertencentes ao Senhor Jesus Christo, sem impedimento algum.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
