Atos dos Apóstolos 18

1E depois disto partiu Paulo de Atenas, e chegou a Corinto.

1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2E, achando um certo judeu por nome Áqüila, natural do Ponto, que havia pouco tinha vindo da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (pois Cláudio tinha mandado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), ajuntou-se com eles,

2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

3E, como era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por ofício fazer tendas.

3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4E todos os sábados disputava na sinagoga, e convencia a judeus e gregos.

4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5E, quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, foi Paulo impulsionado no espírito, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo.

5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews {that} Jesus {was} Christ. {was Christ: or, is the Christ}

6Mas, resistindo e blasfemando eles, sacudiu as vestes, e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora parto para os gentios.

6And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook {his} raiment, and said unto them, Your blood {be} upon your own heads; I {am} clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7E, saindo dali, entrou em casa de um homem chamado chamado Justo, que servia a Deus, e cuja casa estava junto da sinagoga.

7And he departed thence, and entered into a certain {man's} house, named Justus, {one} that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

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

8And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

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

9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10Porque eu sou contigo, e ninguém lançará mão de ti para te fazer mal, pois tenho muito povo nesta cidade.

10For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

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

11And he continued {there} a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. {continued there: Gr. sat there}

12Mas, sendo Gálio procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus concordemente contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,

12And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13Dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei.

13Saying, This {fellow} persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14E, querendo Paulo abrir a boca, disse Gálio aos judeus: Se houvesse, ó judeus, algum agravo ou crime enorme, com razão vos sofreria,

14And when Paul was now about to open {his} mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O {ye} Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15Mas, se a questão é de palavras, e de nomes, e da lei que entre vós há, vede-o vós mesmos; porque eu não quero ser juiz dessas coisas.

15But if it be a question of words and names, and {of} your law, look ye {to it}; for I will be no judge of such {matters}.

16E expulsou-os do tribunal.

16And he drave them from the judgment seat.

17Então todos os gregos agarraram Sóstenes, principal da sinagoga, e o feriram diante do tribunal; e a Gálio nada destas coisas o incomodava.

17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat {him} before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18E Paulo, ficando ainda ali muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos, e dali navegou para a Síria, e com ele Priscila e Áqüila, tendo rapado a cabeça em Cencréia, porque tinha voto.

18And Paul {after this} tarried {there} yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn {his} head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

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

19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20E, rogando-lhe eles que ficasse por mais algum tempo, não conveio nisso.

20When they desired {him} to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

21Antes se despediu deles, dizendo: É-me de todo preciso celebrar a solenidade que vem em Jerusalém; mas querendo Deus, outra vez voltarei a vós. E partiu de Éfeso.

21But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22E, chegando a Cesaréia, subiu a Jerusalém e, saudando a igreja, desceu a Antioquia.

22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

23E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando sucessivamente pela província da Galácia e da Frígia, confirmando a todos os discípulos.

23And after he had spent some time {there}, he departed, and went over {all} the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloqüente e poderoso nas Escrituras.

24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, {and} mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25Este era instruído no caminho do Senhor e, fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava diligentemente as coisas do Senhor, conhecendo somente o batismo de João.

25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26Ele começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga; e, quando o ouviram Priscila e Aqüila, o levaram consigo e lhe declararam mais precisamente o caminho de Deus.

26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto {them}, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27Querendo ele passar à Acaia, o animaram os irmãos, e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, aproveitou muito aos que pela graça criam.

27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

28Porque com grande veemência, convencia publicamente os judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.

28For he mightily convinced the Jews, {and that} publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. {Christ: or, is the Christ}
