Atos 5
1 E um certo varão chamado Ananias, com safira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade;
Now a man named Ananias, along with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property
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 some of the proceeds, with his wife also being aware of it. He brought a portion of the proceeds and laid it at the apostles' feet.
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 yoʋr heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the proceeds of the plot of 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, did it not remain yoʋrs? And once it was sold, was it not under yoʋr control? How is it that yoʋ have put this thing in yoʋr heart? Yoʋ 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.
When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last breath. And great fear came upon all who heard about it.
6 E, levantando-se os mancebos, pegaram dele, e, transportando-o para fora, o sepultaram.
Then the young men rose, wrapped up his body, 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.
About three hours later, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 E disse-lhe Pedro: Dize-me, vendestes por tanto aquela herdade? E ela disse: Sim, por tanto.
Peter said to her, “Tell me if you sold the plot of land for such and such a price.” She said, “Yes, for such a price.”
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.
Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who buried yoʋr husband are at the door, and they will carry yoʋ out.”
10 E logo caiu aos seus pés, e expirou. E, entrando os mancebos, acharam-na morta, e a sepultaram junto de seu marido.
At once she fell down at his feet and breathed her last breath. When the young men came in, they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 E veio um grande temor a toda a igreja, e a todos os que ouviram estas coisas.
And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who 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.
Now many signs and wonders were taking place among the people by the hands of the apostles, and all the believers were together with one accord in Solomon's portico.
13 E dos outros ninguém ousava ajuntar-se com eles: mas o povo tinha-os em grande estima.
No one else dared to join them, but the people held them in high regard.
14 E a multidão dos que criam no Senhor, tanto homens como mulheres, crescia mais e mais.
Yet more and more people believed in the Lord and were added to their number, a multitude of both 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.
As a result, people carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and mats, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one 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.
A multitude from the towns all around Jerusalem also gathered together, bringing the sick and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 E, levantando-se o sumo sacerdote, e todos os que estavam com ele (que era a seita dos sadduceos), encheram-se de inveja,
Then the high priest rose up, along with all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
18 E lançaram mão dos apóstolos, e os puseram na prisão pública.
So they arrested the apostles and put them in a public jail.
19 Mas de noite um anjo do Senhor abriu as portas da prisão, e, tirando-os para fora, disse:
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, 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 courts and tell the people everything about this new 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.
When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at dawn and began teaching. When the high priest came, along with those who were with him, they called together the Sanhedrin—that is, the entire eldership of the sons of Israel—and sent officers to the prison to have the apostles brought before them.
22 Mas, tendo lá chegado os servidores, não os acharam na prisão, e, voltando, lho anunciaram,
But when the officers arrived, they did not find them in the prison. So 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.
“We found the prison locked up in complete security and the guards standing in front of the doors, but when we opened the doors, we found no one inside.”
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 high priest, the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard this report, they were greatly perplexed by it, wondering what might come of this.
25 E, chegando um, anunciou-lhes, dizendo: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo e ensinam ao povo.
Then someone came and told them, “Behold, the men you put in prison are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
26 Então foi o capitão com os servidores, e os trouxe, não com violência (porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo).
So the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles without the use of force, for they were afraid the people might stone them.
27 E, trazendo-os, os apresentaram ao conselho. E o sumo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:
After bringing the apostles in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, and the high 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
“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? Yet behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man 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, “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 raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging him on a cross.
31 Deus com a sua dextra o elevou a príncipe e Salvador, para dar a Israel o arrependimento e remissão dos pecados.
God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 E nós somos testemunhas acerca destas palavras, e também o Espírito Santo, que Deus deu àqueles que lhe obedecem.
Concerning these things we are his witnesses, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 E, ouvindo eles isto, se enfureciam, e deliberaram mata-los.
When they heard this, they were furious and resolved 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;
but a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was held in honor by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and gave orders to put the apostles outside for a little while.
35 E disse-lhes: Varões israelitas, acautelai-vos, enquanto ao que haveis de fazer acerca desses homens.
Then he said to the Sanhedrin, “Men of Israel, give careful consideration to 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 rose up, declaring himself to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, responded to the call to join him. He was put to death, and all his followers were scattered and came to nothing.
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 rose up in the days of the census and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all his followers 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,
So I say to you now, keep away from these men and leave them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will be stopped;
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 cannot put a stop to it. You will only find yourselves fighting 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.
They were persuaded by him, and after calling in the apostles, they beat them, commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Retiraram-se pois da presença do conselho, rogozijando-se de terem sido julgados dignos de padecer afronta pelo nome de Jesus.
So the apostles went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus.
42 E todos os dias, no templo e nas casas, não cessavam de ensinar, e de anunciar a Jesus Cristo.
And every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
