Acts 12
|
| Por aquele mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja, para os maltratar; | Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church. |
| e matou à espada Tiago, irmão de João. | And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. |
| Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. | And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread. |
| E, havendo-o prendido, lançou-o na prisão, entregando-o a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada um para o guardarem, tencionando apresentá-lo ao povo depois da páscoa. | And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. |
| Pedro, pois, estava guardado na prisão; mas a igreja orava com insistência a Deus por ele. | Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him. |
| Ora quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, nessa mesma noite estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias e as sentinelas diante da porta guardavam a prisão. | And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison. |
| E eis que sobreveio um anjo do Senhor, e uma luz resplandeceu na prisão; e ele, tocando no lado de Pedro, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E caíram-lhe das mãos as cadeias. | And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. |
| Disse-lhe ainda o anjo: Cinge-te e calça as tuas sandálias. E ele o fez. Disse-lhe mais; Cobre-te com a tua capa e segue-me. | And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. |
| Pedro, saindo, o seguia, mesmo sem compreender que era real o que se fazia por intermédio de um anjo, julgando que era uma visão. | And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. |
| Depois de terem passado a primeira e a segunda sentinela, chegaram à porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e tendo saído, passaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele. | And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him. |
| Pedro então, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes e de toda a expectativa do povo dos judeus. | And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. |
| Depois de assim refletir foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitas pessoas estavam reunidas e oravam. | And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying. |
| Quando ele bateu ao portão do pátio, uma criada chamada Rode saiu a escutar; | And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda. |
| e, reconhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu o portão, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava lá fora. | And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate. |
| Eles lhe disseram: Estás louca. Ela, porém, assegurava que assim era. Eles então diziam: É o seu anjo. | And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel. |
| Mas Pedro continuava a bater, e, quando abriram, viram-no e pasmaram. | But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed. |
| Mas ele, acenando-lhes com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão, e disse: Anunciai isto a Tiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar. | But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place. |
| Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria sido feito de Pedro. | Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. |
| E Herodes, tendo-o procurado e não o achando, inquiriu as sentinelas e mandou que fossem justiçadas; e descendo da Judéia para Cesaréia, demorou-se ali. | And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there. |
| Ora, Herodes estava muito irritado contra os de Tiro e de Sidom; mas estes, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele e obtendo a amizade de Blasto, camareiro do rei, pediam paz, porquanto o seu país se abastecia do país do rei. | Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king's country. |
| num dia designado, Herodes, vestido de trajes reais, sentou- se no trono e dirigia-lhes a palavra. | And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them. |
| E o povo exclamava: É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem. | And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man. |
| No mesmo instante o anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque não deu glória a Deus; e, comido de vermes, expirou. | And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. |
| E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava. | But the word of God grew and multiplied. |
| Barnabé e Saulo, havendo terminando aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando consigo a João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos. | And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark. |
