Atos 4
1 E, estando elles fallando ao povo, sobrevieram os sacerdotes, e o capitão do templo, e os sadduceos,
While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander 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.
highly incensed at their teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of Jesus the Resurrection from among the dead.
3 E lançaram mão d'elles, e os encerraram na prisão até ao dia seguinte, pois era já tarde.
They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already 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 had listened to their preaching believed; and the number of the adult men had now grown to be about 5,000.
5 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, reunirem-se em Jerusalem os seus principaes, e anciãos e escribas,
The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,
6 E Annás, o summo sacerdote, e Caiphás, e João, e Alexandre, e todos quantos havia da linhagem do summo sacerdote.
with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family.
7 E, pondo-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder fizestes isto, ou em nome de quem?
So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?"
8 Então Pedro, cheio do Espirito Sancto, lhes disse: Principaes do povo, e vós, anciãos d'Israel.
Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
9 Visto que hoje somos interrogados ácerca do beneficio feito a um homem enfermo, do modo como foi curado,
if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured;
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 to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, but whom God has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
11 Este é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta por cabeça d'esquina.
This Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
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 in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to 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.
As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
14 Mas, vendo estar com elles o homem que fôra curado, nada tinham que dizer em contrario.
And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
15 E, mandando-os sair fóra do conselho, conferenciaram entre si,
So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while 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;
"What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in 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 to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
18 E, chamando-os, disseram-lhes que absolutamente não fallassem, nem ensinassem, no nome de Jesus.
So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching 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 replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
20 Porque não podemos deixar de fallar do que temos visto e ouvido.
As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about."
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:
The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
22 Pois tinha mais de quarenta annos o homem em quem se operara aquelle milagre de saude.
For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
23 E, soltos elles, foram para os seus, e contaram tudo o que lhes disseram os principaes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos.
After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that 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;
And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, "O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them,
25 Que disseste pela bocca de David, teu servo: Porque bramaram as gentes, e os povos pensaram coisas vãs?
and didst say through the Holy Spirit by the lips of our forefather David Thy servant, "'Why have the nations stamped and raged, and the peoples formed futile plans?
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 came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"
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;
"They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes 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 power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.
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 now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,
30 Estendendo a tua mão para curar, e para que se façam signaes e prodigios pelo nome do teu sancto Filho Jesus.
whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy holy Servant 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.
When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message 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.
Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
33 E os apostolos davam, com grande poder, testemunho da resurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos elles havia abundante graça.
while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to 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.
And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,
35 E repartia-se por cada um, segundo a necessidade que cada um tinha.
and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.
36 Então José, cognominado pelos apostolos Barnabé (que, traduzido, é Filho de consolação), levita, natural de Chypre,
In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying 'Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
37 Possuindo uma herdade, vendeu-a, e trouxe o preço, e o apresentou aos pés dos apostolos.
sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.
