Atos 1
1 Fiz o primeiro tratado, ó Theophilo, acerca de todas as coisas que Jesus começou, não só a fazer, mas a ensinar,
THE former treatise, Theophilus, I composed, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Até ao dia em que foi recebido em cima, depois de ter dado mandamentos, pelo Espírito Santo, aos apóstolos que escolhera;
until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:
3 Aos quais também, depois de ter padecido, se apresentou vivo, com muitas e infalíveis provas, sendo visto por eles por espaço de quarenta dias, e falando do que respeita ao reino de Deus.
to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:
4 E, ajuntando-os, determinou-lhes que não se ausentassem de Jerusalém, mas que esperassem a promessa do Pai que (disse ele) de mim ouvistes.
and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me.
5 Porque, na verdade, João batizou com água, porém vós sereis batizados com o Espírito Santo, não muito depois destes dias.
For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.
6 Aqueles pois que se haviam ajuntado perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Senhor, restaurarás tu neste tempo o reino a Israel?
They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?
7 E disse-lhes: Não vos pertence saber os tempos ou as estações que o Pai pôs em seu próprio poder.
But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority.
8 Mas recebereis a virtude do Espírito Santo, que há de vir sobre vós; e ser-me-eis testemunhas, tanto em Jerusalém como em toda a Judeia e Samaria, e até aos confins da terra.
But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.
9 E, havendo dito estas coisas, vendo-o eles, foi elevado às alturas, e uma nuvem o recebeu, ocultando-o a seus olhos.
And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.
10 E, estando eles com os olhos fitos no céu, enquanto ele ia subindo, eis que junto deles se puseram dois varões vestidos de branco,
And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Os quais então disseram: Varões galileus, porque estais olhando para o céu? Esse Jesus, que dentre vós foi recebido acima no céu, há de vir assim como para o céu o vistes ir.
who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Então voltaram para Jerusalém, do monte chamado das Oliveiras, o qual está perto de Jerusalém, à distância do caminho de um sábado.
Then they returned unto Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a sabbath-day’s journey distant.
13 E, entrando, subiram ao cenáculo, onde ficaram Pedro e Thiago, João e André, Felipe e Tomé, bartolomeo e Matheus, Thiago, filho de Alfeo, Simão, o zelador, e Judas, irmão de Thiago.
And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.
14 Todos estes perseveravam unanimemente em orações e suplicas, com as mulheres, e Maria mãe de Jesus, e com seus irmãos.
These all persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 E naqueles dias, levantando-se Pedro no meio dos discípulos, disse (ora a multidão junta era de quase cento e vinte pessoas):
And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty, )
16 Varões irmãos, convinha que se cumprisse a escritura que o Espírito Santo predisse pela boca de David, acerca de Judas, que foi o guia daqueles que prenderam a Jesus;
Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.
17 Porque foi contado conosco e alcançou sorte neste ministério.
For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.
18 Ora este adquiriu um campo com o galardão da iniquidade; e, precipitando-se, arrebentou pelo meio, e todas as suas entranhas se derramaram.
This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.
19 E foi notório a todos os que habitam em Jerusalém; de maneira que na sua própria língua esse campo se chama Aceldama, isto é, Campo de sangue:
And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.
20 Porque no livro dos salmos está escrito: Fique deserta a sua habitação, e não haja quem nela habite, e tome outro o seu bispado.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no man to dwell in it: and his office, as bishop, let another take.
21 É necessário pois que, dos varões que conviveram conosco todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus entrou e saiu dentre nós,
Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Começando desde o batismo de João até ao dia em que dentre nós foi recebido em cima, um deles se faça conosco testemunha da sua ressurreição.
beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.
23 E apresentaram dois: José, chamado Barsabbás, que tinha por sobrenome o Justo, e Matthias.
So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.
24 E, orando, disseram: Tu, Senhor, conhecedor dos corações de todos, mostra qual destes dois tens escolhido,
And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,
25 Para que tome parte neste ministério e apostolado, de que Judas se desviou, para ir para o seu próprio lugar.
to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.
26 E lançaram-lhes sortes, e caiu a sorte sobre Matthias. E por voto comum foi contado com os onze apóstolos.
And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage numbered with the eleven apostles.
