Atos 7
1 E disse o summo sacerdote: Porventura é isto assim?
And the chief priest said: Are these things so?
2 E elle disse: Varões, irmãos, e paes, ouvi. O Deus da gloria appareceu a nosso pae Abrahão, estando na Mesopotamia, antes de habitar em Haran,
He replied: Brethren and fathers, hear: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 E disse-lhe: Sae da tua terra e d'entre a tua parentela, e dirige-te á terra que eu te mostrarei.
and said to him: Get out from your land, and from your kindred, and come into a land that I will show you.
4 Então saiu da terra dos chaldeos, e habitou em Haran. E d'ali, depois que seu pae falleceu, o fez passar para esta terra em que agora habitaes.
Then he departed from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran; and thence, after his father died, he removed into this land, in which you now dwell.
5 E não lhe deu n'ella herança, nem ainda o espaço de um pé: mas prometteu que lh'a daria em possessão, e depois d'elle á sua descendencia, não tendo elle ainda filho.
And he gave him no inheritance in it, not a foot breadth: and yet he promised to give it for a possession to him, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
6 E fallou Deus assim: Que a sua descendencia seria peregrina em terra alheia, e a sujeitariam á escravidão, e a maltratariam por quatrocentos annos.
And God spoke thus: That his posterity should sojourn in a strange land, and they should enslave them and afflict them, for four hundred years.
7 E eu julgarei a nação a quem servirem, disse Deus. E depois d'isto sairão, e me servirão n'este logar.
And the nation to which they shall be in bondage I will judge, said God; and after that, they shall come forth and serve me in this place.
8 E deu-lhe o pacto da circumcisão; e assim gerou a Isaac, e o circumcidou ao oitavo dia: e Isaac gerou a Jacob, e Jacob aos doze patriarchas.
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and thus he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.
9 E os patriarchas, movidos de inveja, venderam a José para o Egypto; e Deus era com elle,
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10 E livrou-o de todas as suas tribulações, e lhe deu graça e sabedoria ante Pharaó, rei do Egypto, que o constituiu governador sobre o Egypto e toda a sua casa.
and delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharoah, king of Egypt: and he made him governor over Egypt, and his whole house.
11 E a todo o paiz do Egypto e de Canaan sobreveiu fome e grande tribulação; e nossos paes não achavam alimentos.
And there came a famine, and great affliction on the whole land of Egypt, and of Chanaan: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Porém Jacob, ouvindo que no Egypto havia trigo, enviou ali nossos paes, a primeira vez.
But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time:
13 E na segunda foi José conhecido por seus irmãos, e a linhagem de José foi manifesta a Pharaó.
and, on their second visit, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph were made known to Pharaoh.
14 E José mandou chamar a seu pae Jacob, e a toda a sua parentela, que era de setenta e cinco almas.
And Joseph sent and called to him his father Jacob, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
15 E Jacob desceu ao Egypto, e morreu, elle e nossos paes;
And Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers;
16 E foram transportados para Sichem, e depositados na sepultura que Abrahão comprara por certa somma de dinheiro aos filhos de Hemor, pae de Sichem.
and they were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulcher which Abraham bought for its value in silver, from the sons of Emmor, the father of Sychem.
17 Approximando-se, porém, o tempo da promessa que Deus tinha jurado a Abrahão, o povo cresceu e se multiplicou no Egypto;
And as the time of the promise which God had made with an oath to Abraham drew near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Até que se levantou outro rei, que não conhecia a José.
till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
19 Este, usando de astucia contra a nossa linhagem, maltratou nossos paes, ao ponto de lhes fazer engeitar as suas creanças, para que não se multiplicassem.
He dealt insidiously with our race, and afflicted our fathers, so that they exposed their infants, in order that they might not live.
20 N'esse tempo nasceu Moysés, e era mui formoso, e foi criado tres mezes em casa de seu pae.
At which time Moses was born; and he was exceedingly beautiful, and was nursed three months in his father’s house.
21 E, sendo engeitado, tomou-o a filha do Pharaó, e o criou como seu filho.
But having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and educated him as her own son.
22 E Moysés foi instruido em toda a sciencia dos egypcios; e era poderoso em suas palavras e obras.
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 E, quando completou o tempo de quarenta annos, veiu-lhe ao coração ir visitar seus irmãos, os filhos d'Israel.
When he had completed his fortieth year, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
24 E, vendo maltratado um d'elles, o defendeu, e vingou o offendido, matando o egypcio.
And seeing one of them unjustly treated, he defended and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian.
25 E elle cuidava que seus irmãos entenderiam que Deus lhes havia de dar a liberdade pela sua mão; porém elles não entenderam.
And he supposed that his brethren would understand that, by his hand, God would give them salvation: but they understood not.
26 E no dia seguinte, pelejando elles, foi por elles visto, e quiz leval-os á paz, dizendo: Varões, sois irmãos; porque vos aggravaes um ao outro?
And on the next day he showed himself to them, as they were fighting, and endeavored to persuade them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers: why do you injure one another?
27 E o que offendia o seu proximo o repelliu, dizendo: Quem te constituiu principe e juiz sobre nós?
But he that was doing the injury to his neighbor, thrust him away, saying, Who made you a ruler or a judge over us?
28 Queres tu matar-me, como hontem mataste o egypcio?
Do you intend to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
29 E a esta palavra fugiu Moysés, e esteve como estrangeiro na terra de Madian, onde gerou dois filhos.
And at that saying Moses fled, and became a resident in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
30 E, completados quarenta annos, appareceu-lhe o anjo do Senhor, no deserto do monte Sinai, n'uma chamma de fogo de um sarçal.
And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Então Moysés, vendo-o, se maravilhou da visão; e, approximando-se para vêr, foi-lhe dirigida a voz do Senhor,
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight, and as he was drawing near to observe it, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32 Dizendo: Eu sou o Deus de teus paes, o Deus d'Abrahão, e o Deus d'Isaac e o Deus de Jacob. E Moysés, todo tremulo, não ousava olhar.
I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not observe it.
33 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Descalça as alparcas dos teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é terra sancta:
Then said the Lord to him: Loose your shoes from your feet; for the place in which you stand is holy ground.
34 Tenho visto attentamente a afflicção do meu povo que está no Egypto, e ouvi os seus gemidos, e desci a livral-os. Agora, pois, vem, e enviar-te-hei ao Egypto.
I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them; and now come, and I will send you into Egypt.
35 A este Moysés, ao qual haviam negado, dizendo: Quem te constituiu principe e juiz? a este enviou Deus como principe e libertador, pela mão do anjo que lhe apparecera no sarçal.
This Moses, whom they rejected, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent as a ruler and as a redeemer, by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.
36 Este os conduziu para fóra, fazendo prodigios e signaes na terra do Egypto, e no Mar Vermelho, e no deserto, por quarenta annos.
He brought them out, after he had performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness, forty years.
37 Este é aquelle Moysés que disse aos filhos d'Israel: O Senhor vosso Deus vos levantará d'entre vossos irmãos um propheta como eu; a elle ouvireis.
This is that Moses, who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet like me will the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear.
38 Este é o que esteve entre a congregação no deserto, com o anjo que lhe fallava no monte Sinai, e com nossos paes, o qual recebeu as palavras de vida para nol-as dar.
This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers; he received the living oracles, that he might give them to us.
39 Ao qual nossos paes não quizeram obedecer, antes o rejeitaram, e de coração se tornaram ao Egypto,
To him our fathers were not willing to be obedient; but they rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 Dizendo a Aarão: Faze-nos deuses que vão adiante de nós; porque a esse Moysés, que nos tirou da terra do Egypto, não sabemos o que lhe aconteceu.
saying to Aaron: Make us gods that shall go before us; for, as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
41 E n'aquelles dias fizeram o bezerro, e offereceram sacrificios ao idolo, e se alegraram nas obras das suas mãos.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 E Deus se affastou, e os abandonou a que servissem ao exercito do céu, como está escripto no livro dos prophetas: Porventura me offerecestes victimas e sacrificios no deserto por quarenta annos, ó casa d'Israel?
But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: Your victims and your sacrifices did you offer to me for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Antes tomastes o tabernaculo de Molech, e a estrella do vosso deus Remphan, figuras que vós fizestes para as adorar. Transportar-vos-hei pois para além de Babylonia.
Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your God Remphan, images which you made to worship; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
44 Estava entre nossos paes no deserto o tabernaculo do testemunho, como ordenara aquelle que disse a Moysés que o fizesse segundo o modelo que tinha visto.
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, built as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to build it, according to the pattern which he had seen:
45 O qual nossos paes, recebendo-o tambem, o levaram com Josué quando entraram na possessão das nações que Deus expulsou da face de nossos paes, até aos dias de David:
which our fathers, who were with Joshua, received by succession, and brought into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God continued to drive out from the face of our fathers till the days of David,
46 Que achou graça diante de Deus, e pediu para achar tabernaculo para o Deus de Jacob.
who found favor before God, and desired to find a dwelling-place for the God of Jacob.
47 E Salomão lhe edificou casa;
But Solomon built him a house.
48 Mas o Altissimo não habita em templos feitos por mãos d'homens, como diz o propheta:
Yet the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands, as says the prophet:
49 O céu é o meu throno, e a terra o estrado dos meus pés. Que casa me edificareis? diz o Senhor: ou qual é o logar do meu repouso?
Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will you build me? says the Lord; or what is the place of my rest?
50 Porventura não fez a minha mão todas estas coisas?
Has not my hand made all these things?
51 Duros de cerviz, e incircumcisos de coração e ouvidos: vós sempre resistis ao Espirito Sancto; tambem vós sois como vossos paes.
You stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, you do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so also do you.
52 A qual dos prophetas não perseguiram vossos paes? Até mataram os que anteriormente annunciaram a vinda do Justo, do qual vós agora fostes traidores e homicidas;
Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They slew also those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you have now become the betrayers and murderers;
53 Vos, que recebestes a lei por disposição dos anjos, e não a guardastes.
who received the law by the appointment of angels, and have not kepi, it.
54 E, ouvindo estas coisas, enfureciam-se em seus corações, e rangiam os dentes contra elle.
When they heard these things, they were enraged in their hearts, and gnashed upon him with their teeth.
55 Mas elle, estando cheio do Espirito Sancto, fixando os olhos no céu, viu a gloria de Deus, e Jesus, que estava á direita de Deus;
But being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked earnestly up into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;
56 E disse: Eis que vejo os céus abertos, e o Filho do homem, que está em pé á mão direita de Deus
and he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Elles, porém, clamando com grande voz, taparam os seus ouvidos, e arremetteram unanimes contra elle.
And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and, with one consent, rushed upon him,
58 E, expulsando-o da cidade, o apedrejavam. E as testemunhas depozeram os seus vestidos aos pés de um mancebo chamado Saulo.
and drove him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.
59 E apedrejaram a Estevão, invocando elle ao Senhor, e dizendo: Senhor Jesus, recebe o meu espirito.
And they stoned Stephen while he was calling on the Lord, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 E, pondo-se de joelhos, clamou com grande voz: Senhor, não lhes imputes este peccado. E, tendo dito isto, adormeceu.
And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice: Lord, let not this sin stand against them. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. And Saul was well pleased with his death.
