Atos dos Apóstolos 13

1E na igreja que estava em Antioquia havia alguns profetas e doutores, a saber: Barnabé e Simeão chamado Níger, e Lúcio, cireneu, e Manaém, que fora criado com Herodes o tetrarca, e Saulo.

1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. {which...: or, Herod's foster brother}

2E, servindo eles ao Senhor, e jejuando, disse o Espírito Santo: Apartai-me a Barnabé e a Saulo para a obra a que os tenho chamado.

2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3Então, jejuando e orando, e pondo sobre eles as mãos, os despediram.

3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid {their} hands on them, they sent {them} away.

4E assim estes, enviados pelo Espírito Santo, desceram a Selêucia e dali navegaram para Chipre.

4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

5E, chegados a Salamina, anunciavam a palavra de Deus nas sinagogas dos judeus; e tinham também a João como cooperador.

5And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to {their} minister.

6E, havendo atravessado a ilha até Pafos, acharam um certo judeu mágico, falso profeta, chamado Barjesus,

6And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name {was} Barjesus:

7O qual estava com o procônsul Sérgio Paulo, homem prudente. Este, chamando a si Barnabé e Saulo, procurava muito ouvir a palavra de Deus.

7Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

8Mas resistia-lhes Elimas, o encantador (porque assim se interpreta o seu nome), procurando apartar da fé o procônsul.

8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9Todavia Saulo, que também se chama Paulo, cheio do Espírito Santo, e fixando os olhos nele,

9Then Saul, (who also {is called} Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10Disse: Ó filho do diabo, cheio de todo o engano e de toda a malícia, inimigo de toda a justiça, não cessarás de perturbar os retos caminhos do Senhor?

10And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, {thou} child of the devil, {thou} enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11Eis aí, pois, agora contra ti a mão do Senhor, e ficarás cego, sem ver o sol por algum tempo. E no mesmo instante a escuridão e as trevas caíram sobre ele e, andando à roda, buscava a quem o guiasse pela mão.

11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord {is} upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12Então o procônsul, vendo o que havia acontecido, creu, maravilhado da doutrina do Senhor.

12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13E, partindo de Pafos, Paulo e os que estavam com ele chegaram a Perge, da Panfília. Mas João, apartando-se deles, voltou para Jerusalém.

13Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14E eles, saindo de Perge, chegaram a Antioquia, da Pisídia, e, entrando na sinagoga, num dia de sábado, assentaram-se;

14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15E, depois da lição da lei e dos profetas, lhes mandaram dizer os principais da sinagoga: Homens irmãos, se tendes alguma palavra de consolação para o povo, falai.

15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, {Ye} men {and} brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16E, levantando-se Paulo, e pedindo silêncio com a mão, disse: Homens israelitas, e os que temeis a Deus, ouvi:

16Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with {his} hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17O Deus deste povo de Israel escolheu a nossos pais, e exaltou o povo, sendo eles estrangeiros na terra do Egito; e com braço poderoso os tirou dela;

17The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18E suportou os seus costumes no deserto por espaço de quase quarenta anos.

18And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. {suffered...: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child}

19E, destruindo a sete nações na terra de Canaã, deu-lhes por sorte a terra deles.

19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20E, depois disto, por quase quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos, lhes deu juízes, até ao profeta Samuel.

20And after that he gave {unto them} judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21E depois pediram um rei, e Deus lhes deu por quarenta anos, a Saul filho de Cis, homem da tribo de Benjamim.

21And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22E, quando este foi retirado, levantou-lhes como rei a Davi, ao qual também deu testemunho, e disse: Achei a Davi, filho de Jessé, homem conforme o meu coração, que executará toda a minha vontade.

22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the {son} of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23Da descendência deste, conforme a promessa, levantou Deus a Jesus para Salvador de Israel;

23Of this man's seed hath God according to {his} promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24Tendo primeiramente João, antes da vinda dele, pregado a todo o povo de Israel o batismo de arrependimento.

24When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25Mas João, quando completava a carreira, disse: Quem pensais vós que eu sou? Eu não sou o Cristo; mas eis que após mim vem aquele a quem não sou digno de desatar as alparcas dos pés.

25And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not {he}. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of {his} feet I am not worthy to loose.

26Homens irmãos, filhos da geração de Abraão, e os que dentre vós temem a Deus, a vós vos é enviada a palavra desta salvação.

26Men {and} brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27Por não terem conhecido a este, os que habitavam em Jerusalém, e os seus príncipes, condenaram-no, cumprindo assim as vozes dos profetas que se lêem todos os sábados.

27For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled {them} in condemning {him}.

28E, embora não achassem alguma causa de morte, pediram a Pilatos que ele fosse morto.

28And though they found no cause of death {in him}, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29E, havendo eles cumprido todas as coisas que dele estavam escritas, tirando-o do madeiro, o puseram na sepultura;

29And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took {him} down from the tree, and laid {him} in a sepulchre.

30Mas Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos.

30But God raised him from the dead:

31E ele por muitos dias foi visto pelos que subiram com ele da Galiléia a Jerusalém, e são suas testemunhas para com o povo.

31And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32E nós vos anunciamos que a promessa que foi feita aos pais, Deus a cumpriu a nós, seus filhos, ressuscitando a Jesus;

32And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33Como também está escrito no salmo segundo: Meu filho és tu, hoje te gerei.

33God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34E que o ressuscitaria dentre os mortos, para nunca mais tornar à corrupção, disse-o assim: As santas e fiéis bênçãos de Davi vos darei.

34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, {now} no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}

35Por isso também em outro salmo diz: Não permitirás que o teu santo veja corrupção.

35Wherefore he saith also in another {psalm}, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36Porque, na verdade, tendo Davi no seu tempo servido conforme a vontade de Deus, dormiu, foi posto junto de seus pais e viu a corrupção.

36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: {after...: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}

37Mas aquele a quem Deus ressuscitou nenhuma corrupção viu.

37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38Seja-vos, pois, notório, homens irmàos, que por este se vos anuncia a remissão dos pecados.

38Be it known unto you therefore, men {and} brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39E de tudo o que, pela lei de Moisés, não pudestes ser justificados, por ele é justificado todo aquele que crê.

39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40Vede, pois, que não venha sobre vós o que está dito nos profetas:

40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41Vede, ó desprezadores, e espantai-vos e desaparecei;porque opero uma obra em vossos dias,ora tal que não crereis, se alguém vo-la contar.

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42E, saídos os judeus da sinagoga, os gentios rogaram que no sábado seguinte lhes fossem ditas as mesmas coisas.

42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. {the next...: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between}

43E, despedida a sinagoga, muitos dos judeus e dos prosélitos religiosos seguiram Paulo e Barnabé; os quais, falando-lhes, os exortavam a que permanecessem na graça de Deus.

43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44E no sábado seguinte ajuntou-se quase toda a cidade para ouvir a palavra de Deus.

44And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

45Então os judeus, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja e, blasfemando, contradiziam o que Paulo falava.

45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46Mas Paulo e Barnabé, usando de ousadia, disseram: Era mister que a vós se vos pregasse primeiro a palavra de Deus; mas, visto que a rejeitais, e não vos julgais dignos da vida eterna, eis que nos voltamos para os gentios;

46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

47Porque o Senhor assim no-lo mandou:eu te pus para luz dos gentios,a fim de que sejas para salvação até os confins da terra.

47For so hath the Lord commanded us, {saying}, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48E os gentios, ouvindo isto, alegraram-se, e glorificavam a palavra do Senhor; e creram todos quantos estavam ordenados para a vida eterna.

48And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

49E a palavra do Senhor se divulgava por toda aquela província.

49And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50Mas os judeus incitaram algumas mulheres religiosas e honestas, e os principais da cidade, e levantaram perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé, e os lançaram fora dos seus termos.

50But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

51Sacudindo, porém, contra eles o pó dos seus pés, partiram para Icônio.

51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52E os discípulos estavam cheios de alegria e do Espírito Santo.

52And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
