Atos 28
1 E, havendo escapado, então souberam que a ilha se chamava milita.
And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
2 E os bárbaros usaram conosco de não pouca humanidade; porque, acendendo um grande fogo, nos recolheram a todos por causa da chuva que sobrevinha, e por causa do frio.
and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
3 E, havendo Paulo ajuntado uma quantidade de vides, e pondo-as no fogo, uma víbora, fugindo do calor, lhe acometeu a mão.
but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.
4 E os bárbaros, vendo-lhe a bicha pendurada na mão, diziam uns aos outros: Certamente este homem é homicida, a quem, escapando do mar, a Justiça não deixa viver.
And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
5 Porém, sacudindo ele a bicha no fogo, não padeceu nenhum mal.
he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
6 E eles esperavam que viesse a inchar ou a cair morto de repente; porém, tendo esperado já muito, e vendo que nenhum incômodo lhe sobrevinha, mudando de parecer, diziam que era um deus.
and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
7 E ali, próximo daquele mesmo lugar, havia umas herdades que pertenciam ao principal da ilha, por nome Públio, o qual nos recebeu e hospedou benignamente por três dias.
And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
8 E aconteceu que o pai de Públio estava de cama enfermo de febres e disenteria, ao qual Paulo foi ver, e, havendo orado, pôs as mãos sobre ele, e o curou.
and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
9 Feito pois isto, vieram também ter com ele os demais que na ilha tinham enfermidades, e sararam.
this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
10 Os quais nos honraram também com muitas honras: e, havendo de navegar, nos proveram das coisas necessárias.
who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
11 E três meses depois partimos num navio de Alexandria que invernara na ilha, o qual tinha por insígnia Castor e Pollux.
And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
12 E, chegando a Siracusa, ficamos ali três dias.
and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
13 De onde, indo costeando, viemos a régio; e um dia depois, soprando um vento do sul, chegamos no segundo dia a Puteolos.
thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
14 Onde, achando alguns irmãos, nos rogaram que por sete dias ficassemos com eles; e assim fomos a Roma.
where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
15 E de lá, ouvindo os irmãos novas de nós, nos sairam ao encontro à praça de Ápio e às três Vendas, e Paulo, vendo-os, deu graças a Deus, e tomou ânimo.
and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
16 E, logo que chegamos a Roma, o centurião entregou os presos ao general dos exércitos; porém a Paulo se lhe permitiu morar sobre si à parte, com o soldado que o guardava.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
17 E aconteceu que, três dias depois, Paulo convocou os que eram principais dos judeus, e, juntos eles, lhes disse: Varões irmãos, não havendo eu feito nada contra o povo, ou contra os ritos paternos, vim todavia preso desde Jerusalém, entregue nas mãos dos romanos;
And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
18 Os quais, havendo-me examinado, queriam soltar-me, por não haver em mim crime algum de morte.
who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
19 Porém, opondo-se os judeus, foi-me forçoso apelar para Cesar, não tendo, contudo, de que acusar a minha nação.
and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
20 Assim que por esta causa vos chamei, para vos ver e falar; porque pela esperança de Israel estou com esta cadeia.
for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
21 Porém eles lhe disseram: Nós não recebemos acerca de ti cartas algumas da Judeia, nem, vindo aqui algum dos irmãos, nos anunciou ou falou de ti mal algum.
And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
22 Porém bem quizeramos ouvir de ti o que sentes; porque, quanto a esta seita, notório nos é que em toda a parte se fala contra ela.
and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
23 E, havendo-lhe eles assinalado um dia, muitos foram ter com ele à pousada, aos quais declarava e testificava o reino de Deus, e procurava persuadi-los à fé de Jesus, tanto pela lei de Moisés como pelos profetas, desde pela manhã até à tarde.
and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
24 E alguns criam no que se dizia; porém outros não criam.
and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
25 E, como ficaram entre si discordes, se despediram, dizendo Paulo esta palavra: Bem falou o Espírito Santo a nossos pais pelo profeta Isaias,
And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Dizendo: vai a este povo, e dize: De ouvido ouvireis, e de maneira nenhuma entendereis; e, vendo, vereis, e de maneira nenhuma percebereis.
saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
27 Porque o coração deste povo está endurecido, e com os ouvidos ouviram pesadamente, e fecharam os olhos, para que nunca com os olhos vejam, nem com os ouvidos ouçam, nem do coração entendam, e se convertam e eu os cure.
for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
28 Seja-vos pois notório que esta salvação de Deus é enviada aos gentios, e eles a ouvirão.
'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
29 E, havendo ele dito isto, partiram os judeus, tendo entre si grande contenda.
and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
30 E Paulo ficou dois anos inteiros na sua própria habitação que alugara, e recebia todos quantos vinham vê-lo;
and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
31 Pregando o reino de Deus, e ensinando com toda a ousadia as coisas pertencentes ao Senhor Jesus Cristo, sem impedimento algum.
preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
