Atos 5
1 E um certo varão chamado Ananias, com safira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade;
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 E reteve parte do preço, sabendo-o também sua mulher; e, trazendo uma parte dele, a depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.
and kept back part of the price, and his wife was conscious of it; and he brought a certain part of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Disse então Pedro: Ananias, porque encheu Satanás o teu coração, para que mentisses ao Espírito Santo, e retivestes parte do preço da herdade?
But Peter said: Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Guardando-a, não ficava para ti? E, vendida, não estava em teu poder? Porque formaste este desígnio em teu coração? Não mentiste aos homens, mas a Deus
While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
5 E Ananias, ouvindo estas palavras, caiu e expirou. E um grande temor veio sobre todos os que isto ouviram.
And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things.
6 E, levantando-se os mancebos, pegaram dele, e, transportando-o para fora, o sepultaram.
And the young men arose and wound him in his mantle, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 E, passando um espaço quase de três horas, entrou também sua mulher, não sabendo o que havia acontecido.
And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had been done, came in.
8 E disse-lhe Pedro: Dize-me, vendestes por tanto aquela herdade? E ela disse: Sim, por tanto.
And Peter answered her: Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? She replied: Yes; for so much.
9 Porém Pedro lhe disse: Porque é que entre vós vos concertastes para tentar o espírito do Senhor? Eis ai à porta os pés dos que sepultaram a teu marido, e também te levarão a ti.
But Peter said to her: Why is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
10 E logo caiu aos seus pés, e expirou. E, entrando os mancebos, acharam-na morta, e a sepultaram junto de seu marido.
And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband.
11 E veio um grande temor a toda a igreja, e a todos os que ouviram estas coisas.
And great fear came on all the church, and on all that heard these things.
12 E muitos sinais e prodígios eram feitos entre o povo pelas mãos dos apóstolos. E estavam todos unânimes no alpendre de Salomão.
And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles; (and they were all with one consent in Solomon’s porch.
13 E dos outros ninguém ousava ajuntar-se com eles: mas o povo tinha-os em grande estima.
And no one of the rest durst join himself to them; but the people magnified them.
14 E a multidão dos que criam no Senhor, tanto homens como mulheres, crescia mais e mais.
And believers in the Lord were more and more added to them, multitudes both of men and women; )
15 De sorte que transportavam os enfermos para as ruas, e os punham em leitos e em camilhas para que a sombra de Pedro, quando passasse, cobrisse alguns deles.
so that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on some of them.
16 E até das cidades circunvizinhas concorria a multidão a Jerusalém, conduzindo enfermos e atormentados de espíritos imundos; os quais todos eram curados.
And many people of the cities round about came to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were troubled by evil spirits, all of whom were cured.
17 E, levantando-se o sumo sacerdote, e todos os que estavam com ele (que era a seita dos sadduceos), encheram-se de inveja,
But the chief priest arose, and all that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation;
18 E lançaram mão dos apóstolos, e os puseram na prisão pública.
and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
19 Mas de noite um anjo do Senhor abriu as portas da prisão, e, tirando-os para fora, disse:
But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and brought them out, and said:
20 Ide apresentar-vos no templo, e dizei ao povo todas as palavras desta vida.
Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all the words of this life.
21 E, ouvindo eles isto, entraram de manhã cedo no templo, e ensinavam. Chegando, porém, o sumo sacerdote e os que estavam com ele, convocaram o conselho, e a todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel, e enviaram ao cárcere, para que de lá os trouxessem.
And having heard this, they entered the temple, early in the morning, and taught. But the chief priest, and those who were with him, came and called together the Sanhedrim, and all the eldership of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Mas, tendo lá chegado os servidores, não os acharam na prisão, e, voltando, lho anunciaram,
But when the attendants came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and reported,
23 Dizendo: achamos realmente o cárcere fechado, com toda a segurança, e os guardas, que estavam fora, diante das portas; mas, quando abrimos, ninguém achamos dentro.
saying: We found the prison closed with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors; but when we had opened, we found no one within.
24 Então o capitão do templo e os principais dos sacerdotes, ouvindo estas palavras, estavam perplexos acerca do que viria a ser aquilo.
When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean.
25 E, chegando um, anunciou-lhes, dizendo: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo e ensinam ao povo.
And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Então foi o capitão com os servidores, e os trouxe, não com violência (porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo).
Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 E, trazendo-os, os apresentaram ao conselho. E o sumo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:
And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrim; and the chief priest asked them,
28 Não vos admoestamos nós expressamente que não ensinasseis nesse nome? E eis que já enchestes Jerusalém dessa vossa doutrina, e quereis trazer sobre nós o sangue desse homem
saying: Did we not strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Porém, respondendo Pedro e os apóstolos, disseram: Mais importa obedecer a Deus do que aos homens.
But Peter and the apostles answered and said: We must obey God rather than men.
30 O Deus de nossos pais resuscitou a Jesus, ao qual vós matastes suspendendo-o no madeiro.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
31 Deus com a sua dextra o elevou a príncipe e Salvador, para dar a Israel o arrependimento e remissão dos pecados.
Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins:
32 E nós somos testemunhas acerca destas palavras, e também o Espírito Santo, que Deus deu àqueles que lhe obedecem.
and we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them that obey him.
33 E, ouvindo eles isto, se enfureciam, e deliberaram mata-los.
And when they heard this, they were enraged; and they determined to put them to death.
34 Mas, levantando-se no conselho um certo fariseo, chamado Gamaliel, doutor da lei, venerado por todo o povo, mandou que por um pouco levassem para fora os apóstolos;
Then arose a certain man in the Sanhedrim, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people; and he commanded them to put the apostles out for a little while,
35 E disse-lhes: Varões israelitas, acautelai-vos, enquanto ao que haveis de fazer acerca desses homens.
and said to them: Men of Israel, consider well with yourselves what you are about to do to these men.
36 Porque antes destes dias levantou-se Theudas, dizendo ser alguém: deste se acercou o número de uns quatrocentos homens; o qual foi morto, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos e reduzidos a nada.
For before these days Theudas arose, declaring himself to be some great one; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; and he was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered and brought to naught.
37 Depois deste levantou-se Judas, o galileu, nos dias do alistamento, e levou muito povo após si; e também este pereceu, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos.
After this man, Judas the Galilean arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew over many people after him; and he was destroyed, and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.
38 E agora digo-vos: dai de mão a estes homens, e deixai-os, porque, se esse desígnio, ou essa obra, é de homens, se desfará,
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to an end;
39 Mas, se é de Deus, não podereis desfaze-la; para que não aconteça serdes também achados combatendo contra Deus.
but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also against God.
40 E concordaram com ele. E, chamando os apóstolos, e tendo-os açoitado, mandaram que não falassem no nome de Jesus, e os deixaram ir.
And they were persuaded by him; and when they had called the apostles in and scourged them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Retiraram-se pois da presença do conselho, rogozijando-se de terem sido julgados dignos de padecer afronta pelo nome de Jesus.
Then, they went from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were thought worthy to suffer shame for his name’s sake.
42 E todos os dias, no templo e nas casas, não cessavam de ensinar, e de anunciar a Jesus Cristo.
And daily in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus the Christ.
