Atos 12
1 E por aquele mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja, para os maltratar;
And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to certain of those of the Assembly,
2 E matou à espada Thiago, irmão de João.
and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,
3 E, vendo que isso agradara aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. E eram os dias dos asmos.
and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the Unleavened [Bread]—
4 E, havendo-o prendido, o encerrou na prisão, entregando-o a quatro quaternos de soldados, para que o guardassem, querendo apresenta-lo ao povo depois da pascoa.
whom also having seized, he put in prison, having delivered [him] to four squads of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him forth to the people after the Passover.
5 Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão; porém a igreja fazia continua oração por ele a Deus.
Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the Assembly to God for him,
6 E quando Herodes o havia de tirar, naquela mesma noite, estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, ligado com duas cadeias, e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards were also keeping the prison before the door,
7 E eis que sobreveio o anjo do Senhor, e resplandeceu uma luz na prisão; e, tocando a Pedro na ilharga, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E cairam-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
and behold, a messenger of the LORD stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having struck Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, “Rise in haste,” and his chains fell from off [his] hands.
8 E disse-lhe o anjo: Cinge-te, e ata as tuas alparcas. E ele o fez assim. Disse-lhe mais: Lança às costas a tua capa, e segue-me.
The messenger also said to him, “Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals”; and he did so; and he says to him, “Cast your garment around and follow me”;
9 E, saindo, o seguia. E não sabia que fosse verdade o que era feito pelo anjo, mas cuidava que via alguma visão.
and having gone forth, he was following him, and he did not know that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,
10 E, quando passaram a primeira e segunda guarda, chegaram à porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e, tendo saído, andaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele.
and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came to the iron gate that is leading into the city, which opened to them of its own accord, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
11 E Pedro, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes, e de tudo o que o povo dos judeus esperava.
And Peter having come to himself, said, “Now I have known of a truth that the LORD sent forth His messenger, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews”;
12 E, considerando ele nisto, foi a casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitos estavam juntos e orando.
also, having considered, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
13 E, batendo Pedro à porta do pátio, uma menina chamada Rhode saiu a escutar;
And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a girl to listen, by name Rhoda,
14 E, conhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu a porta do pátio, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava fora à porta do pátio.
and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
15 E disseram-lhe: Estás fora de ti. Mas ela afirmava que assim era. E diziam: É o seu anjo.
and they said to her, “You are mad”; and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, “It is his messenger”;
16 Porém Pedro perseverava em bater, e, quando abriram, viram-no, e se espantaram.
and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
17 E, acenando-lhes ele com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão, e disse: anunciai isto a Thiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar.
and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the LORD brought him out of the prison, and he said, “Declare these things to James and to the brothers”; and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
18 E, sendo já dia, houve não pouco alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que seria feito de Pedro.
And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
19 E, quando Herodes o buscou e o não achou, feita inquirição aos guardas, mandou-os justiçar. E, partindo da Judeia para Cesareia, ficou ali
and Herod having sought for him, and having not found, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding [there].
20 E Herodes estava irritado com os de Tiro e de Sidon; porém eles, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele, e persuadindo Blasto, que era o camarista do rei, pediam paz: porquanto o seu país sustentava-se do país do rei.
And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came to him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king’s;
21 E num dia designado, vestindo Herodes as vestes reais, e assentado no tribunal, lhes fez uma pratica.
and on a set day, Herod having clothed himself in kingly clothing, and having sat down on the judgment seat, was making an oration to them,
22 E o povo exclamava: Voz de Deus, e não de homem.
and the populace were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
23 E no mesmo instante feriu-o o anjo do Senhor, porquanto não deu glória a Deus, e, comido de bichos, expirou.
And immediately a messenger of the LORD struck him in return for that he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
24 E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
And the word of God grew and multiplied,
25 E Barnabé e Saulo, havendo cumprido aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando também consigo a João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos.
and Barnabas and Saul turned back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministry, having also taken John with [them], who was surnamed Mark.
