Acts 28
|
| Estando já salvos, soubemos então que a ilha se chamava Malta. | And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. |
| Os indígenas usaram conosco de não pouca humanidade; pois acenderam uma fogueira e nos recolheram a todos por causa da chuva que caía, e por causa do frio. | And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. |
| Ora havendo Paulo ajuntado e posto sobre o fogo um feixe de gravetos, uma víbora, fugindo do calor, apegou-se-lhe à mão. | But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand. |
| Quando os indígenas viram o réptil pendente da mão dele, diziam uns aos outros: Certamente este homem é homicida, pois, embora salvo do mar, a Justiça não o deixa viver. | And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live. |
| Mas ele, sacudindo o réptil no fogo, não sofreu mal nenhum. | Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm. |
| Eles, porém, esperavam que Paulo viesse a inchar ou a cair morto de repente; mas tendo esperado muito tempo e vendo que nada de anormal lhe sucedia, mudaram de parecer e diziam que era um deus. | But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. |
| Ora, nos arredores daquele lugar havia umas terras que pertenciam ao homem principal da ilha, por nome Públio, o qual nos recebeu e hospedou bondosamente por três dias. | Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously. |
| Aconteceu estar de cama, enfermo de febre e disenteria, o pai de Públio; Paulo foi visitá-lo, e havendo orado, impôs-lhe as mãos, e o curou. | And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him. |
| Feito isto, vinham também os demais enfermos da ilha, e eram curados; | And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured: |
| e estes nos distinguiram com muitas honras; e, ao embarcarmos, puseram a bordo as coisas que nos eram necessárias. | who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed. |
| Passados três meses, partimos em um navio de Alexandria que invernara na ilha, o qual tinha por insígnia Castor e Pólux. | And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers. |
| E chegando a Siracusa, ficamos ali três dias; | And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. |
| donde, costeando, viemos a Régio; e, soprando no dia seguinte o vento sul, chegamos em dois dias a Putéoli, | And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli; |
| onde, achando alguns irmãos, fomos convidados a ficar com eles sete dias; e depois nos dirigimos a Roma. | where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome. |
| Ora, os irmãos da lá, havendo recebido notícias nossas, vieram ao nosso encontro até a praça de Ápio e às Três Vendas, e Paulo, quando os viu, deu graças a Deus e cobrou ânimo. | And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. |
| Quando chegamos a Roma, o centurião entregou os presos ao general do exército, mas, a Paulo se lhe permitiu morar à parte, com o soldado que o guardava. | And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him. |
| Passados três dias, ele convocou os principais dentre os judeus; e reunidos eles, disse-lhes: Varões irmãos, não havendo eu feito nada contra o povo, ou contra os ritos paternos, vim contudo preso desde Jerusalém, entregue nas mãos dos romanos; | And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans: |
| os quais, havendo-me interrogado, queriam soltar-me, por não haver em mim crime algum que merecesse a morte. | who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me. |
| Mas opondo-se a isso os judeus, vi-me obrigado a apelar para César, não tendo, contudo, nada de que acusar a minha nação. | But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation. |
| Por esta causa, pois, vos convidei, para vos ver e falar; porque pela esperança de Israel estou preso com esta cadeia. | For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. |
| Mas eles lhe disseram: Nem recebemos da Judéia cartas a teu respeito, nem veio aqui irmão algum que contasse ou dissesse mal de ti. | And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee. |
| No entanto bem quiséramos ouvir de ti o que pensas; porque, quanto a esta seita, notório nos é que em toda parte é impugnada. | But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against. |
| Havendo-lhe eles marcado um dia, muitos foram ter com ele à sua morada, aos quais desde a manhã até a noite explicava com bom testemunho o reino de Deus e procurava persuadí-los acerca de Jesus, tanto pela lei de Moisés como pelos profetas. | And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter,] testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening. |
| Uns criam nas suas palavras, mas outros as rejeitavam. | And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. |
| E estando discordes entre si, retiraram-se, havendo Paulo dito esta palavra: Bem falou o Espírito Santo aos vossos pais pelo profeta Isaías, | And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers, |
| dizendo: Vai a este povo e dize: Ouvindo, ouvireis, e de maneira nenhuma entendereis; e vendo, vereis, e de maneira nenhuma percebereis. | saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: |
| Porque o coração deste povo se endureceu, e com os ouvidos ouviram tardamente, e fecharam os olhos; para que não vejam com os olhos, nem ouçam com os ouvidos, nem entendam com o coração nem se convertam e eu os cure. | For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. |
| Seja-vos pois notório que esta salvação de Deus é enviada aos gentios, e eles ouvirão. | Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear. |
| E, havendo ele dito isto, partiram os judeus, tendo entre si grande contenda. | [And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.] |
| E morou dois anos inteiros na casa que alugara, e recebia a todos os que o visitavam, | And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him, |
| pregando o reino de Deus e ensinando as coisas concernentes ao Senhor Jesus Cristo, com toda a liberdade, sem impedimento algum. | preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him. |
