Acts 16
|
| Chegou também a Derbe e Listra. E eis que estava ali certo discípulo por nome Timóteo, filho de uma judia crente, mas de pai grego; | And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek. |
| do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos em Listra e Icônio. | The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. |
| Paulo quis que este fosse com ele e, tomando-o, o circuncidou por causa dos judeus que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos sabiam que seu pai era grego. | Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek. |
| Quando iam passando pelas cidades, entregavam aos irmãos, para serem observadas, as decisões que haviam sido tomadas pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém. | And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem. |
| Assim as igrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e dia a dia cresciam em número. | So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily. |
| Atravessaram a região frígio-gálata, tendo sido impedidos pelo Espírito Santo de anunciar a palavra na Ásia; | And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; |
| e tendo chegado diante da Mísia, tentavam ir para Bitínia, mas o Espírito de Jesus não lho permitiu. | and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not; |
| Então, passando pela Mísia, desceram a Trôade. | and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. |
| De noite apareceu a Paulo esta visão: estava ali em pé um homem da Macedônia, que lhe rogava: Passa à Macedônia e ajuda-nos. | And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. |
| E quando ele teve esta visão, procuravamos logo partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que Deus nos havia chamado para lhes anunciarmos o evangelho. | And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. |
| Navegando, pois, de Trôade, fomos em direitura a Samotrácia, e no dia seguinte a Neápolis; | Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis; |
| e dali para Filipos, que é a primeira cidade desse distrito da Macedônia, e colônia romana; e estivemos alguns dias nessa cidade. | and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days. |
| No sábado saímos portas afora para a beira do rio, onde julgávamos haver um lugar de oração e, sentados, falávamos às mulheres ali reunidas. | And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together. |
| E certa mulher chamada Lídia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Tiatira, e que temia a Deus, nos escutava e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para atender às coisas que Paulo dizia. | And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul. |
| Depois que foi batizada, ela e a sua casa, rogou-nos, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu sou fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa, e ficai ali. E nos constrangeu a isso. | And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us. |
| Ora, aconteceu que quando íamos ao lugar de oração, nos veio ao encontro uma jovem que tinha um espírito adivinhador, e que, adivinhando, dava grande lucro a seus senhores. | And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying. |
| Ela, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: São servos do Deus Altíssimo estes homens que vos anunciam um caminho de salvação. | The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation. |
| E fazia isto por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, perturbado, voltou- se e disse ao espírito: Eu te ordeno em nome de Jesus Cristo que saias dela. E na mesma hora saiu. | And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour. |
| Ora, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro havia desaparecido, prenderam a Paulo e Silas, e os arrastaram para uma praça à presença dos magistrados. | But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers, |
| E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeus, estão perturbando muito a nossa cidade. | and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, |
| e pregam costumes que não nos é lícito receber nem praticar, sendo nós romanos. | and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans. |
| A multidão levantou-se à uma contra eles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoitá-los com varas. | And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods. |
| E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança. | And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: |
| Ele, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou na prisão interior e lhes segurou os pés no tronco. | who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. |
| Pela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, enquanto os presos os escutavam. | But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them; |
| De repente houve um tão grande terremoto que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere, e logo se abriram todas as portas e foram soltos os grilhões de todos. | and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. |
| Ora, o carcereiro, tendo acordado e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido. | And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. |
| Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos aqui estamos. | But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. |
| Tendo ele pedido luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas | And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas, |
| e, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar? | and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
| Responderam eles: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa. | And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. |
| Então lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa. | And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house. |
| Tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou- lhes as feridas; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus. | And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately. |
| Então os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou- se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus. | And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God. |
| Quando amanheceu, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros a dizer: Soltai aqueles homens. | But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go. |
| E o carcereiro transmitiu a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que fosseis soltos; agora, pois, saí e ide em paz. | And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace. |
| Mas Paulo respondeu-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente sem sermos condenados, sendo cidadãos romanos, e nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fora? De modo nenhum será assim; mas venham eles mesmos e nos tirem. | But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? Nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out. |
| E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras, e estes temeram quando ouviram que eles eram romanos; | And the sergeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans; |
| vieram, pediram-lhes desculpas e, tirando-os para fora, rogavam que se retirassem da cidade. | and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city. |
| Então eles saíram da prisão, entraram em casa de Lídia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e partiram. | And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house] of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. |
