Atos 17
1 E, passando por Amfípolis e Apolônia, chegaram a Tessalônica, onde havia uma sinagoga de judeus.
And they passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, and came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 E Paulo, como tinha por costume, foi ter com eles; e por três sábados disputou com eles sobre as escrituras,
And Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and during three sabbaths he discoursed with them from the scriptures;
3 Declarando-as, e demonstrando que convinha que o Cristo padecesse e resuscitasse dos mortos. E este Jesus, que vos anuncío, dizia ele, é o Cristo.
expounding and showing, that the Messiah was to suffer, and to arise from the dead, and that this Jesus whom I announce to you is the Messiah.
4 E alguns deles creram, e ajuntaram-se com Paulo e Silas uma grande multidão de gregos religiosos, e não poucas mulheres principais.
And some of them believed, and adhered to Paul and Silas; and of those Greeks who feared God, a great many; and also of noted women, not a few.
5 Porém os judeus desobedientes, movidos de inveja, tomaram consigo alguns homens malignos, dentre os vadios, e, ajuntando o povo, alvoroçaram a cidade, e, acometendo a casa de Jason, procuravam tira-los para junto do povo.
But the Jews were indignant, and gathered to themselves evil men from the marketplace of the city, and formed a great mob; and they alarmed the city, and came and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to draw them from it, and to deliver them up to the mob.
6 E, não os achando, trouxeram com violência a Jason, e alguns irmãos, aos magistrados da cidade, clamando: Estes que tem alvoroçado o mundo, chegaram também aqui;
And when they found them not there, they drew Jason and the brethren who were there, and brought them before the chiefs of the city, crying out: These are they who have terrified all the country; and lo, they have come hither also:
7 Os quais Jason tem recolhido; e todos estes obram contra os mandados de Cesar, dizendo que há outro rei, a saber, Jesus.
and this Jason is their entertainer: and they all resist the commands of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 E alvoroçaram a multidão e os principais da cidade, que ouviram estas coisas.
And the chiefs of the city and all the people, were alarmed when they heard these things.
9 Tendo, porém, recebido satisfação de Jason, e dos demais, os soltaram.
And they took sureties from Jason, and also from the brethren, and then released them.
10 E logo os irmãos enviaram de noite Paulo e Silas a Berea: os quais, chegando lá, foram à sinagoga dos judeus.
And the brethren immediately, on the same night, sent away Paul and Silas to the city of Berea. And when they came there, they entered into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 E estes foram mais nobres do que os que estavam em Tessalônica, porque de bom grado receberam a palavra, examinando cada dia nas escrituras se estas coisas eram assim.
For the Jews there were more liberal than the Jews of Thessalonica; and they gladly heard the word from them daily, and searched from the scriptures whether these things were so.
12 De sorte que creram muitos deles, e mulheres gregas honestas, e não poucos varões.
And many of them believed; and so likewise of the Greeks, many men, and women of note.
13 Mas, logo que os judeus de Tessalônica souberam que a palavra de Deus também era anunciada por Paulo em Berea, foram também lá, e comoveram as multidões.
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul in the city of Berea, they came thither also, and they ceased not to excite and alarm the people.
14 Porém no mesmo instante os irmãos mandaram a Paulo que fosse como para o mar, mas Silas e Timotheo ficaram ali.
And the brethren sent away Paul, that he might go down to the sea. But Silas and Timothy abode in that city.
15 E os que acompanhavam Paulo o levaram até Atenas, e, recebendo ordem para que Silas e Timotheo fossem ter com ele o mais depressa possível, partiram.
And they who conducted Paul, went with him to the city of Athens. And when they departed from him, they received an epistle from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him speedily.
16 E, enquanto Paulo os esperava em Atenas, o seu espírito se comovia em si mesmo, vendo a cidade tão dada à idolatria.
And while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, he was pained in his spirit; because he saw that the whole city was full of idols.
17 De sorte que disputava na sinagoga com os judeus e religiosos, e todos os dias na praça com os que se apresentavam.
And in the synagogue he spoke with the Jews, and with those that feared God, and in the market-place with them who daily assembled there.
18 E alguns dos filósofos epicureos e estoicos contendiam com ele; e uns diziam: Que quer dizer este paroleiro? E outros: Parece que é pregador de deuses estranhos. Porque lhes anunciava a Jesus e a ressurreição.
And also philosophers of the sect of Epicureans, and others who were called Stoics, disputed with him. And one and another of them said: What doth this word-monger mean? Others said: He announceth foreign deities; because he preached to them Jesus and his resurrection.
19 E, tomando-o, o levaram ao areópago, dizendo: Poderemos nós saber que nova doutrina é essa de que falas?
And they took him and brought him to the place of judgments called Areopagus, and said to him: May we know what this new doctrine which thou preachest is?
20 Pois coisas estranhas nos trazes aos ouvidos: queremos pois saber o que vem a ser isto.
For thou scatterest in our ears strange words; and we wish to know what they are.
21 (Pois todos os atenienses e hóspedes estrangeiros de nenhuma outra coisa se ocupavam, senão de dizer e ouvir alguma coisa nova).
For all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there, cared for nothing else but to tell or to hear something new.
22 E, estando Paulo no meio do areópago, disse: Varões atenienses, em tudo vos vejo um tanto supersticiosos:
And as Paul stood in the Areopagus, he said: Men, Athenians, I perceive that in all things ye are excessive in the worship of demons.
23 Porque, passando eu e vendo os vossos santuários, achei também um altar em que estava escrito: AO DEUS DESCONHECIDO. aquele pois que vós honrais, não o conhecendo, vos anuncío.
For, as I was rambling about, and viewing the temples of your worship, I met with an altar, on which was inscribed, TO THE HIDDEN GOD. Him, therefore, whom ye worship while ye know him not, the very same I announce to you.
24 O Deus que fez o mundo e todas as coisas que nele há: este, sendo Senhor do céu e da terra, não habita em templos feitos por mãos de homens;
For the God who made the world and all that is in it, and who is Lord of heaven and of earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
25 Nem tão pouco é servido por mãos de homens, como que necessitando de alguma coisa; pois é ele só quem dá a todos a vida, e a respiração, e todas as coisas;
Nor is he ministered to by human hands, neither hath he any wants; for he it is giveth life and breath to every man.
26 E de um sangue fez toda a geração dos homens, para habitar sobre toda a face da terra, determinando os tempos já de antes ordenados, e os limites da sua habitação;
And of one blood hath he made the whole world of men, that they might dwell on the face of all the earth: and he hath separated the seasons by his ordinance; and hath set bounds to the residence of men:
27 Para que buscassem ao Senhor, se porventura o pudessem apalpar e achar; ainda que não está longe de cada um de nós;
that they might inquire and search after God, and, by means of his creations, might find him; because he is not afar off from each one of us:
28 Porque nele vivemos, e nos movemos, e existimos; como também alguns dos vossos poetas disseram: Porque somos também sua geração.
for in him it is we live, and move, and exist: as one of your own wise men hath said: From him is our descent.
29 Sendo pois geração de Deus, não havemos de cuidar que a divindade seja semelhante ao ouro, ou à prata, ou à pedra esculpida por artifício e imaginação dos homens
Therefore we, whose descent is from God, ought not to suppose that the Deity hath the likeness of gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by the art and skill of men
30 De sorte que Deus, dissimulando os tempos da ignorância, anuncia agora a todos os homens, e em todo o lugar, que se arrependam;
And the times of this error God hath made to pass away; and at the present time, he commandeth all men, that each individual, in every place, should repent.
31 Porquanto tem determinado um dia em que com justiça há de julgar o mundo com justiça por aquele varão que destinou; dando certeza a todos, resuscitando-o dos mortos.
Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge all the earth, with righteousness, by the man whom he hath designated: and he turneth every man to faith in him, in that he raised him from the dead.
32 E, como ouviram da ressurreição dos mortos, uns escarneciam, e outros diziam: Acerca disso te ouviremos outra vez.
And when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some of them ridiculed, and others of them said: At another time, we will hear thee on this matter.
33 E assim Paulo saiu do meio deles.
And so Paul departed from among them.
34 Porém, chegando alguns varões a ele, creram: entre os quais foram Dionisio, areopagita, e uma mulher por nome Damaris, e com eles outros.
And some of them adhered to him, and believed; one of these was Dionysius from among the judges of Areopagus, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
