Atos 7
1 E disse o summo sacerdote: Porventura é isto assim?
And the chief priest said, “Are then 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,
And he said, “Men, brothers, and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
3 E disse-lhe: Sae da tua terra e d'entre a tua parentela, e dirige-te á terra que eu te mostrarei.
and He said to him, Go forth out of your land, and out of your relatives, and come to 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 having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from there, after the death of his father, He removed him to this land wherein 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 even a footstep, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—he having 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 seed will be sojourning in a strange land, and they will cause it to serve, and will do it evil [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 whom they will serve I will judge, said God; And after these things they will come forth and will do Me service 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 to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begot] Jacob, and Jacob—the twelve patriarchs;
9 E os patriarchas, movidos de inveja, venderam a José para o Egypto; e Deus era com elle,
and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and 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 out of all his tribulations, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he set him—governor over Egypt and all his 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 scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
12 Porém Jacob, ouvindo que no Egypto havia trigo, enviou ali nossos paes, a primeira vez.
and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
13 E na segunda foi José conhecido por seus irmãos, e a linhagem de José foi manifesta a Pharaó.
and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed 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 having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
15 E Jacob desceu ao Egypto, e morreu, elle e nossos paes;
and Jacob went down to 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 Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Shechem.
17 Approximando-se, porém, o tempo da promessa que Deus tinha jurado a Abrahão, o povo cresceu e se multiplicou no Egypto;
And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Até que se levantou outro rei, que não conhecia a José.
until another king rose, who had not known 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.
this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, 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.
in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up [for] three months in the house of his father;
21 E, sendo engeitado, tomou-o a filha do Pharaó, e o criou como seu filho.
and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
22 E Moysés foi instruido em toda a sciencia dos egypcios; e era poderoso em suas palavras e obras.
and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
23 E, quando completou o tempo de quarenta annos, veiu-lhe ao coração ir visitar seus irmãos, os filhos d'Israel.
And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
24 E, vendo maltratado um d'elles, o defendeu, e vingou o offendido, matando o egypcio.
and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck 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 was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
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?
On the succeeding day, also, he showed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers, why do you do injustice to one another?
27 E o que offendia o seu proximo o repelliu, dizendo: Quem te constituiu principe e juiz sobre nós?
And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Queres tu matar-me, como hontem mataste o egypcio?
Do you wish 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 Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner 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 forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai [the] Messenger of the LORD, in a flame of fire of a bush,
31 Então Moysés, vendo-o, se maravilhou da visão; e, approximando-se para vêr, foi-lhe dirigida a voz do Senhor,
and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD 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 having become terrified, did not dare behold,
33 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Descalça as alparcas dos teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é terra sancta:
and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood 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.
seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to 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 refused, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge? This one God sent [as] a ruler and a redeemer, by the hand of [the] Messenger who 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.
this one brought them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in 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 the Moses who said to the sons of Israel: The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet out of your brothers, like to me, Him will 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 assembly in the wilderness, with the Messenger who is speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers who received the living oracles to give to us;
39 Ao qual nossos paes não quizeram obedecer, antes o rejeitaram, e de coração se tornaram ao Egypto,
to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, 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 to us gods who will go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened to 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 brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their 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?
and God turned, and gave them up to do service to the host of Heaven, according as it has been written in the scroll of the Prophets: Did you offer slain beasts and sacrifices to Me 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.
And you took up the dwelling place of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan—the figures that you made to worship them, and I will remove your dwelling 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 Dwelling Place of the Testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He directed, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that 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 also our fathers having in succession received, brought in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until 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 requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
47 E Salomão lhe edificou casa;
and Solomon built Him a house.
48 Mas o Altissimo não habita em templos feitos por mãos d'homens, como diz o propheta:
But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
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 My footstool, What house will you build to Me? Says the LORD; Or what [is] the place of My rest?
50 Porventura não fez a minha mão todas estas coisas?
Has My hand not 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 always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also 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 your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,
53 Vos, que recebestes a lei por disposição dos anjos, e não a guardastes.
who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
54 E, ouvindo estas coisas, enfureciam-se em seus corações, e rangiam os dentes contra elle.
And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
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;
and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked steadfastly to the sky, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on 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 having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
57 Elles, porém, clamando com grande voz, taparam os seus ouvidos, e arremetteram unanimes contra elle.
And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
58 E, expulsando-o da cidade, o apedrejavam. E as testemunhas depozeram os seus vestidos aos pés de um mancebo chamado Saulo.
and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him]—and the witnesses put down their garments 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 were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling 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 having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, “LORD, may You not lay to them this sin”; and having said this, he fell asleep.
