Atos 18

1 E depois disto ele partiu de Atenas, e veio a Corinto.

After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;

2 E achando a um certo judeu, de nome Áquila, natural de Ponto, que recentemente tinha vindo da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (porque Cláudio tinha mandado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), veio até eles.

and finding a certain Jews, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius Cesar had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them.

3 E porque era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; porque tinham o ofício de fazerem tendas.

And as he was of the same trade, he continued with them, and wrought; for by trade they were tent-makers.

4 E ele disputava na sinagoga a cada sábado; e persuadia a judeus e a gregos.

But he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath day, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 E quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo foi pressionado pelo Espírito, dando testemunho aos judeus [de que] o Cristo [era] Jesus.

And as soon as Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was impelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

6 Mas tendo eles resistido e blasfemado, ele sacudiu as roupas, e lhes disse: Vosso sangue [seja] sobre vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo; e a partir de agora irei aos gentios.

But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his garment, and said to them, Let your blood be upon your own head! I am pure. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

7 E tendo saído dali, entrou na cada de um, de nome Tito Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa era vizinha à sinagoga.

And going out thence, he went into the house of one called Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

8 E Crispo, o chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, tendo ouvido, creram e foram batizados.

Now, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed; and were immersed.

9 E o Senhor disse em visão de noite a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala, e não te cales.

But the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silence;

10 Porque eu estou contigo, e ninguém porá [mão] em ti para te fazer mal, porque eu tenho muito povo nesta cidade.

for I am with you, and no man shall fall on you, to injure you; for I have much people in this city.

11 E ele ficou [ali por] um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.

And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 Mas sendo Gálio o procônsul da Acaia, os judeus se levantaram em concordância contra Paulo, e o trouxeram ao tribunal,

But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault upon Paul, with one consent, and brought him before the tribunal,

13 Dizendo: Este persuade as pessoas a servirem a Deus contra a Lei.

saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 E Paulo, querendo abrir a boca, Gálio disse aos judeus: Se houvesse algum mau ato ou crime grande, ó judeus, com razão eu vos suportaria;

And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you.

15 Mas se a questão é de palavra [s], e de nomes, e da Lei que há entre vós, vede [-o] vós mesmos; porque destas coisas eu não quero ser juiz.

But if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.

16 E ele os tirou do tribunal.

And he drove them away from the tribunal.

17 Mas todos os gregos, tomando a Sóstenes, o chefe da sinagoga, feriram [-no] diante do tribunal; e a nada destas coisas Gálio dava importância.

And all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal; but Gallio did not concern himself at all about the matter.

18 E Paulo, ficando ali ainda muitos dias, ele se despediu dos irmãos, e dali navegou para a Síria, e juntos com ele [estavam] Priscila e Áquila; tendo rapado a cabeça em Cencreia, porque ele tinha [feito] voto.

And Paul still continued there for a considerable time, and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shaved his head at Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

19 E chegou a Éfeso, e os deixou ali; mas ele, entrando na sinagoga, disputava com os judeus.

And he arrived at Ephesus, and there he left them; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20 E eles, pedindo[-lhe] que continuasse com eles por mais [algum] tempo, ele não concordou.

And though they entreated him to have staid longer with them, he did not consent:

21 Porém despediu-se deles, dizendo: Outra vez, se Deus quiser, voltarei a vós. E ele saiu de Éfeso.

but he took his leave of them, saying, It is necessary for me, all means, to celebrate the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. And he set sail from Ephesus.

22 E tendo vindo a Cesareia, subiu e, saudando à igreja, desceu a Antioquia.

And landing at Cesarea, he went up; and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch.

23 E passando [ali] algum tempo, ele partiu, passando em sequência pela região da Galácia e Frígia, firmando a todos os discípulos.

and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming all the disciples.

24 E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu, de nome Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloquente, bem capacitado nas Escrituras.

Now, a certain Jew, whose name was Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and powerful in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 Este era instruído no caminho do Senhor; e fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava corretamente as coisas do Senhor; [ainda que] soubesse somente o batismo de João.

This person was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught them things of the Lord with great accuracy, being only acquainted with the immersion of John.

26 E este começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga; e Áquila e Priscila, ao o ouvirem, tomaram-no consigo, e explicaram mais detalhadamente o caminho de Deus.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him aside, and explained to him the way of God in a more perfect manner.

27 E ele, querendo passar a Acaia, os irmãos o exortaram, [e] escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, auxiliou muito aos que tinham crido pela graça.

And when he intended to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, exhorting them to receive him. And being arrived there, by his gift he greatly helped those who had believed.

28 Porque vigorosamente ele provava publicamente os erros dos judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.

For he strenuously debated with the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.
