Atos 7
1 E disse o summo sacerdote: Porventura é isto assim?
And the High-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,
And, he, said—Brethren and fathers, hearken! The God of Glory, appeared unto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt 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 said unto him—Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.
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, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, 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 gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a 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.
But God, spake thus—His seed shall be a sojourner in a foreign land, and they will bring it into bondage, and ill-treat it 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 unto which they shall be in bondage, will, I, judge—said God; and, after these things, shall they come forth, and render divine service unto 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 unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, 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, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into 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 rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed 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 famine upon all Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers could not find pasture.
12 Porém Jacob, ouvindo que no Egypto havia trigo, enviou ali nossos paes, a primeira vez.
But Jacob, hearing there was corn in Egypt, sent off our fathers, first;
13 E na segunda foi José conhecido por seus irmãos, e a linhagem de José foi manifesta a Pharaó.
And, the second time, Joseph was made known unto his brethren, and, the race of Joseph was made, manifest, unto 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, sending forth, called for Jacob his father, and all the kindred, consisting of seventy-five souls;
15 E Jacob desceu ao Egypto, e morreu, elle e nossos paes;
And Jacob went down [into Egypt]. And he died, he, 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 were brought over into Shechem, and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased, for a price of silver, of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 Approximando-se, porém, o tempo da promessa que Deus tinha jurado a Abrahão, o povo cresceu e se multiplicou no Egypto;
Now, just as the time of the promise was drawing near wherewith God had agreed with Abraham, the people grew, and were multiplied in Egypt, —
18 Até que se levantou outro rei, que não conhecia a José.
Until there arose another sort of king over Egypt, 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.
The same, dealing craftily with our race, ill-treated our fathers, so as to cause their babes to be exposed, to the end they might not be suffered to live.
20 N'esse tempo nasceu Moysés, e era mui formoso, e foi criado tres mezes em casa de seu pae.
In which season, Moses, was born, and was exceeding goodly, —who was nourished up three months in the house of his father;
21 E, sendo engeitado, tomou-o a filha do Pharaó, e o criou como seu filho.
But, when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him, and nourished him for herself, as a son.
22 E Moysés foi instruido em toda a sciencia dos egypcios; e era poderoso em suas palavras e obras.
And, so Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works.
23 E, quando completou o tempo de quarenta annos, veiu-lhe ao coração ir visitar seus irmãos, os filhos d'Israel.
And, when there was being fulfilled unto him a period of forty years, it came up on his heart to look after 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 being wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was getting worn out, smiting 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.
But he supposed his brethren would understand that, God, through his hand, would give them deliverance; whereas 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?
On the following day also, he appeared unto them, as they were contending, and would have reconciled them in peace, saying—Men! ye are, brothers! Wherefore wrong ye 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 wronging his neighbour, thrust him away, saying—Who hath appointed, thee, to be ruler and judge over us?
28 Queres tu matar-me, como hontem mataste o egypcio?
Art, thou, wishing, to kill me, in the same way thou didst kill, yesterday, the Egyptian?
29 E a esta palavra fugiu Moysés, e esteve como estrangeiro na terra de Madian, onde gerou dois filhos.
And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat 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 fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, 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,
And, Moses, seeing it, marvelled at the sight; and, as he was going near to observe, there came a voice of the Lord—
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 thy fathers, The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. And Moses becoming, terrified, durst not observe.
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 unto him—Loose the sandals of thy feet; for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, hallowed 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, indeed seen, the ill-treatment of my people that is in Egypt, and, unto their groaning, have I hearkened, and have come down to rescue them. Now, therefore, come! I will send thee 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.
The same Moses whom they had refused, saying—Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto 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.
The same, led them forth, doing wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert, 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.
The same, is the Moses that said unto the sons of Israel—A prophet, unto you, will God raise up, from among your brethren, like unto me:
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.
The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:
39 Ao qual nossos paes não quizeram obedecer, antes o rejeitaram, e de coração se tornaram ao Egypto,
Unto whom, our fathers would not become obedient, but thrust him away, and turned in their hearts unto 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 unto Aaron—Make as gods who shall go before us; for, as for this Moses who brought us forth out of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him!
41 E n'aquelles dias fizeram o bezerro, e offereceram sacrificios ao idolo, e se alegraram nas obras das suas mãos.
And so they fell to calf-making in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced 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?
But God, turned, and delivered them up to be doing divine service unto the host of heaven, —just as it is written in a book of the prophets—Victims and sacrifices did ye offer unto me, forty years in the desert, 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.
Nay! but ye took with you the tent of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, —the forms which ye made to bow down unto them: therefore will I 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 tent of witness, was with our fathers in the desert, according as he who was speaking unto Moses, gave instructions, to make it, according to the model 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 succeeding to, also brought in, with Joshua, when taking possession of the nations, which God put out from before 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 favour before God, and asked to find a habitation 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:
Although indeed, the Most High, not in hand-made places, dwelleth; just as, the prophet, saith—
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 thrown, and, the earth, is my footstool: What manner of house, will ye build me, saith the Lord, —Or what shall be the place of my resting?
50 Porventura não fez a minha mão todas estas coisas?
Hath 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.
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and in ears, ye, always, against the Holy Spirit, do strive! As your fathers, ye also:
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? Yea they slew them who declared beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One—of whom, now, ye, have become, betrayers and murderers!
53 Vos, que recebestes a lei por disposição dos anjos, e não a guardastes.
Who, indeed, received the law through ranks of messengers, —and guarded it not.
54 E, ouvindo estas coisas, enfureciam-se em seus corações, e rangiam os dentes contra elle.
And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against 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;
But he, being already full of Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly into heaven, 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 said—Lo! I see the heavens 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, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord 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, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 E apedrejaram a Estevão, invocando elle ao Senhor, e dizendo: Senhor Jesus, recebe o meu espirito.
And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying—Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit.
60 E, pondo-se de joelhos, clamou com grande voz: Senhor, não lhes imputes este peccado. E, tendo dito isto, adormeceu.
And, kneeling down, he cried out with a loud voice—Lord! do not charge against them, this sin. And, having said this, he fell asleep.
