Atos 3
1 E Pedro e João subiam juntos ao templo à hora da oração, a nona.
One day, as Peter and John were going up into the Temple Courts for the three o’clock Prayers,
2 E era trazido um varão que desde o ventre de sua mãe era coxo, o qual cada dia punham à porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para pedir esmola aos que entravam no templo.
a man, who had been lame from his birth, was being carried by. This man used to be set down every day at the gate of the Temple called ‘the Beautiful Gate,’ to beg of those who went in.
3 O qual, vendo a Pedro e João, que iam entrando no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola.
Seeing Peter and John on the point of entering, he asked them to give him something.
4 E Pedro, com João, fitando os olhos nele, disse: Olha para nós.
Peter fixed his eyes on him, and so did John, and then Peter said, “Look at us.”
5 E olhou para eles, esperando receber deles alguma coisa.
The man was all attention, expecting to get something from them;
6 E disse Pedro: Não tenho prata nem ouro; mas o que tenho isso te dou. Em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, levanta-te e anda.
but Peter added, “I have no gold or silver, but I give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk.”
7 E, tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou, e logo os seus pés e artelhos se firmaram.
Grasping the lame man by the right hand, Peter lifted him up. Instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong,
8 E, saltando ele, pôs-se em pé, e andou, e entrou com eles no templo, andando, e saltando, e louvando a Deus;
and, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 E todo o povo o viu andar e louvar a Deus;
All the people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 E conheciam-no, que era ele o que se assentava à esmola à porta Formosa do templo, e ficaram cheios de pasmo e assombro, pelo que lhe acontecera.
and, when they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were utterly astonished and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 E, apegando-se o coxo, que fôra curado, a Pedro e João, todo o povo correu atônito para junto deles, ao alpendre chamado de Salomão.
While the man still clung to Peter and John, the people all quickly gathered around them in the Colonnade named after Solomon, in the greatest astonishment.
12 E Pedro, vendo isto, disse ao povo: Varões israelitas, porque vos maravilhais disto? Ou, porque olhais tanto para nós, como se por nossa própria virtude ou santidade o fizessemos andar?
On seeing this, Peter said to the people, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at this? And why do you stare at us, as though we, by any power or piety of our own, had enabled this man to walk?
13 O Deus de Abraão, e de Isaac e de Jacob, o Deus de nossos pais, glorificou a seu filho Jesus, a quem vós entregastes e perante a face de Pilatos negastes, julgando ele que devia ser solto.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honor to his servant Jesus – him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.
14 Mas vós negastes o Santo e o Justo, e pedistes que se vos desse um homem homicida.
You, I say, disowned the holy and righteous one, and asked for the release of a murderer!
15 E matastes o príncipe da vida, ao qual Deus resuscitou dos mortos, do que nós somos testemunhas.
The guide to life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead – and of that we are ourselves witnesses.
16 E pela fé no seu nome o seu nome fortaleceu a este que vêdes e conheceis; e a fé que é por ele deu a este, na presença de todos vós, esta perfeita saúde
And it is by faith in the name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has – by his name – been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.
17 E agora, irmãos, eu sei que o fizestes por ignorância, como também os vossos príncipes:
And yet, my friends, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.
18 Mas Deus assim cumpriu o que já de antes pela boca de todos os seus profetas havia anunciado; que o Cristo havia de padecer.
But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the prophets.
19 Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos, para que sejam apagados os vossos pecados, quando vierem os tempos do refrigério pela presença do Senhor,
Therefore, repent and turn so that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,
20 E ele enviar a Jesus Cristo, que já de antes vos foi pregado:
and so that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.
21 O qual convém que o céu contenha até aos tempos da restauração de todas as coisas, das quais Deus falou pela boca de todos os seus santos profetas, desde todo o século. (aiōn g165)
But heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy prophets from the very first. (aiōn g165)
22 Porque Moisés disse aos pais: O Senhor vosso Deus levantará dentre vossos irmãos um profeta semelhante a mim: a ele ouvireis em tudo quanto vos disser.
Moses himself said – ‘The Lord your God will raise up from among yourselves a prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.
23 E acontecerá que toda a alma que não escutar esse profeta será exterminada dentre o povo.
And it will be that should anyone among the people not listen to that prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’
24 E também todos os profetas, desde Samuel, e todos quantos depois tem falado, já de antes anunciaram esses dias.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.
25 Vós sois os filhos dos profetas, e do concerto que Deus fez com nossos pais, dizendo a Abraão: Na tua descendência serão benditas todas as famílias da terra.
You yourselves are the heirs of the prophets, and heirs, too, of the covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham – ‘In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.’
26 Resuscitando Deus a seu Filho Jesus, primeiro o enviou a vós, para que nisso vos abençoasse, e vos desviasse, a cada um, das vossas maldades.
For you, first, God raised up his servant, and sent him to bless you, by turning each one of you from his wicked ways.”
