Atos 4
1 E, estando elles fallando ao povo, sobrevieram os sacerdotes, e o capitão do templo, e os sadduceos,
AND as they were thus speaking, the priests, and the captain of the temple-guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Doendo-se muito de que ensinassem o povo, e annunciassem em Jesus a resurreição dos mortos.
worn down with vexation, because they taught the people, and preached by Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 E lançaram mão d'elles, e os encerraram na prisão até ao dia seguinte, pois era já tarde.
And they laid hands on them, and committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.
4 Muitos, porém, dos que ouviram a palavra crêram, e chegou o numero d'esses homens a quasi cinco mil.
But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, reunirem-se em Jerusalem os seus principaes, e anciãos e escribas,
Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem,
6 E Annás, o summo sacerdote, e Caiphás, e João, e Alexandre, e todos quantos havia da linhagem do summo sacerdote.
and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest’s relations.
7 E, pondo-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder fizestes isto, ou em nome de quem?
And placing them in the midst, they interrogated them, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this thing?
8 Então Pedro, cheio do Espirito Sancto, lhes disse: Principaes do povo, e vós, anciãos d'Israel.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Visto que hoje somos interrogados ácerca do beneficio feito a um homem enfermo, do modo como foi curado,
if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;
10 Seja conhecido a vós todos, e a todo o povo d'Israel, que em nome de Jesus Christo, o nazareno, aquelle a quem vós crucificastes e a quem Deus resuscitou dos mortos, em nome d'esse é que este está são diante de vós.
be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.
11 Este é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta por cabeça d'esquina.
This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner.
12 E em nenhum outro ha salvação, porque tambem debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome ha, dado entre os homens, em que devamos ser salvos.
And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Então elles, vendo a ousadia de Pedro e João, e informados de que eram homens sem lettras e indoutos, se maravilharam; e conheciam que elles haviam estado com Jesus.
Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 Mas, vendo estar com elles o homem que fôra curado, nada tinham que dizer em contrario.
But seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction.
15 E, mandando-os sair fóra do conselho, conferenciaram entre si,
But bidding them retire out of the council-chamber, they conferred among themselves,
16 Dizendo: Que havemos de fazer a estes homens? porque a todos os que habitam em Jerusalem é manifesto que por elles foi feito um signal notorio, e não o podemos negar;
saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 Mas, para que não se divulgue mais entre o povo, ameacemol-os para que não fallem mais n'esse nome a homem algum.
But that it be no farther spread among the people, we will menace them with threats, no more to speak in this name to any man.
18 E, chamando-os, disseram-lhes que absolutamente não fallassem, nem ensinassem, no nome de Jesus.
So calling them in, they charged them not to speak in any manner, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.
19 Respondendo, porém, Pedro e João, lhes disseram: Julgae vós se é justo, diante de Deus, ouvir-vos antes a vós do que a Deus
But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges.
20 Porque não podemos deixar de fallar do que temos visto e ouvido.
For we cannot refrain from speaking the things which we have seen and heard.
21 Mas elles ainda os ameaçaram mais, e, não achando motivo para os castigar, deixaram-n'os ir, por causa do povo; porque todos glorificavam a Deus ácerca do que acontecera:
Then they with many additional threatenings dismissed them, finding no pretext how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for what had been done.
22 Pois tinha mais de quarenta annos o homem em quem se operara aquelle milagre de saude.
For the man was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.
23 E, soltos elles, foram para os seus, e contaram tudo o que lhes disseram os principaes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos.
But they being dismissed, came unto their own friends, and told them all things which the high-priests and elders had said.
24 E, ouvindo elles isto, unanimes levantaram a voz a Deus, e disseram: Senhor, tu és o Deus que fizeste o céu, e a terra, e o mar, e todas as coisas que n'elles ha;
Now when they heard it, they lifted up their united voice to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God which made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:
25 Que disseste pela bocca de David, teu servo: Porque bramaram as gentes, e os povos pensaram coisas vãs?
who by the mouth of David thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the people meditate vain things?
26 Levantaram-se os reis da terra, e os principes se ajuntaram á uma, contra o Senhor e contra o seu Ungido.
The kings of the earth rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.
27 Porque verdadeiramente contra o teu sancto Filho Jesus, que tu ungiste, se ajuntaram, não só Herodes, mas Poncio Pilatos, com os gentios e os povos d'Israel;
For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
28 Para fazerem tudo o que a tua mão e o teu conselho tinham anteriormente determinado que se havia de fazer.
to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.
29 Agora pois, ó Senhor, põe os olhos nas suas ameaças, e concede aos teus servos que fallem com toda a ousadia a tua palavra;
And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word,
30 Estendendo a tua mão para curar, e para que se façam signaes e prodigios pelo nome do teu sancto Filho Jesus.
by stretching out thy hand for healing; and that signs and miracles may be performed by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 E, tendo orado, moveu-se o logar em que estavam reunidos; e todos foram cheios do Espirito Sancto, e fallavam com ousadia a palavra de Deus.
And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32 E era um o coração e a alma da multidão dos que criam, e ninguem dizia que coisa alguma do que possuia era sua propria, mas todas as coisas lhes eram communs.
And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among them.
33 E os apostolos davam, com grande poder, testemunho da resurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos elles havia abundante graça.
And with great power bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Não havia pois entre elles necessitado algum; porque todos os que possuiam herdades ou casas, vendendo-as, traziam o preço do vendido, e o depositavam aos pés dos apostolos.
Neither was there any person in want among them: for as many as were possessors of fields or houses disposed of them, and brought the prices of the things sold,
35 E repartia-se por cada um, segundo a necessidade que cada um tinha.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and a distribution was made to every one according as he had need.
36 Então José, cognominado pelos apostolos Barnabé (que, traduzido, é Filho de consolação), levita, natural de Chypre,
And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is, being interpreted, A son of consolation, ) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,
37 Possuindo uma herdade, vendeu-a, e trouxe o preço, e o apresentou aos pés dos apostolos.
having a field belonging to him, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
