Acts 18
|
Depois disto Paulo partiu para Atenas e chegou a Corinto. | After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth. |
E encontrando um judeu por nome Áqüila, natural do Ponto, que pouco antes viera da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher , foi ter com eles, | And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them; |
e, por ser do mesmo ofício, com eles morava, e juntos trabalhavam; pois eram, por ofício, fabricantes de tendas. | And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers. |
Ele discutia todos os sábados na sinagoga, e persuadia a judeus e gregos. | And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith. |
Quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo dedicou- se inteiramente à palavra, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo. | And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. |
Como estes, porém, se opusessem e proferissem injúrias, sacudiu ele as vestes e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora vou para os gentios. | And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles. |
E saindo dali, entrou em casa de um homem temente a Deus, chamado Tito Justo, cuja casa ficava junto da sinagoga. | And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue. |
Crispo, chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, ouvindo, criam e eram batizados. | And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism. |
E de noite disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala e não te cales; | And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching: |
porque eu estou contigo e ninguém te acometerá para te fazer mal, pois tenho muito povo nesta cidade. | For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town. |
E ficou ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus. | And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. |
Sendo Gálio procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus de comum acordo contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal, | But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat, |
dizendo: Este persuade os homens a render culto a Deus de um modo contrário à lei. | Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law. |
E, quando Paulo estava para abrir a boca, disse Gálio aos judeus: Se de fato houvesse, ó judeus, algum agravo ou crime perverso, com razão eu vos sofreria; | But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing: |
mas, se são questões de palavras, de nomes, e da vossa lei, disso cuidai vós mesmos; porque eu não quero ser juiz destas coisas. | But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things. |
E expulsou-os do tribunal. | And he sent them away from the judge's seat. |
Então todos agarraram Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancavam diante do tribunal; e Gálio não se importava com nenhuma dessas coisas. | And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things. |
Paulo, tendo ficado ali ainda muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria, e com ele Priscila e Áqüila, havendo rapado a cabeça em Cencréia, porque tinha voto. | And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath. |
E eles chegaram a Éfeso, onde Paulo os deixou; e tendo entrado na sinagoga, discutia com os judeus. | And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews. |
Estes rogavam que ficasse por mais algum tempo, mas ele não anuiu, | And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No; |
antes se despediu deles, dizendo: Se Deus quiser, de novo voltarei a vós; e navegou de Éfeso. | And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus. |
Tendo chegado a Cesaréia, subiu a Jerusalém e saudou a igreja, e desceu a Antioquia. | And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch. |
E, tendo demorado ali algum tempo, partiu, passando sucessivamente pela região da Galácia e da Frígia, fortalecendo a todos os discípulos. | And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith. |
Ora, chegou a Éfeso certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloqüente e poderoso nas Escrituras. | Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings. |
Era ele instruído no caminho do Senhor e, sendo fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava com precisão as coisas concernentes a Jesus, conhecendo entretanto somente o batismo de João. | This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism: |
Ele começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga: mas quando Priscila e Áqüila o ouviram, levaram-no consigo e lhe expuseram com mais precisão o caminho de Deus. | And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God. |
Querendo ele passar à Acáia, os irmãos o animaram e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; e tendo ele chegado, auxiliou muito aos que pela graça haviam crido. | And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace: |
Pois com grande poder refutava publicamente os judeus, demonstrando pelas escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo. | For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus. |
