Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
E depois d'isto partiu Paulo de Athenas, e chegou a Corintho.
2 And 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.
E, achando um certo judeo por nome Aquila, natural do Ponto, que havia pouco que tinha vindo da Italia, e Priscilla, sua mulher (porquanto Claudio tinha mandado que todos os judeos saissem de Roma), se ajuntou com elles,
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
E, porque era do mesmo officio, ficou com elles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por officio fazer tendas.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
E cada sabbado disputava na synagoga, e persuadia a judeos e gregos.
5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
E, quando Silas e Timotheo desceram da Macedonia, foi Paulo constrangido pelo Espirito, testificando aos judeos que Jesus era o Christo.
6 And 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.
Porém, resistindo e blasphemando elles, sacudiu os vestidos, e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora parto para os gentios.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
E, partindo d'ali, entrou em casa de um, por nome Justo, que servia a Deus, cuja casa estava junto da synagoga.
8 And 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.
E Crispo, principal da synagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos corinthios, ouvindo-o, crêram e foram baptizados.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
E disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas falla, e não te cales;
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
Porque eu estou comtigo, e ninguem lançará mão de ti para te fazer mal, porque tenho muito povo n'esta cidade.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
E ficou ali um anno e seis mezes, ensinando entre elles a palavra de Deus.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Porém, sendo Gallio proconsul da Achaia, levantaram-se os judeos concordemente contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei.
14 And 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:
E, querendo Paulo abrir a bocca, disse Gallio aos judeos: Se houvesse, ó judeos, algum aggravo ou crime enorme, com razão vos soffreria,
15 But 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.
Mas, se a questão é de palavras, e de nomes, e da lei que entre vós ha, vêde-o vós mesmos: porque eu não quero ser juiz d'essas coisas.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
E lançou-os do tribunal.
17 Then 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.
Porém, tomando todos os gregos a Sosthenes, principal da synagoga, o feriram diante do tribunal; e a Gallio nada d'estas coisas se lhe davam.
18 And 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.
E Paulo, ficando ainda ali muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e d'ali navegou para a Syria, e com elle Priscilla e Aquila, tendo tosquiado a cabeça em Cenchrea, porque tinha voto.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
E chegou a Epheso, e deixou-os ali; porém elle, entrando na synagoga, disputava com os judeos.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
E, rogando-lhe elles que ficasse com elles por mais algum tempo, não conveiu n'isso.
21 But 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.
Antes se despediu d'elles, dizendo: É-me necessario em todo o caso guardar em Jerusalem a festa que se approxima; mas, querendo Deus, outra vez voltarei para vós. E partiu de Epheso.
22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the Assembly, he went down to Antioch.
E, chegando a Cesarea, subiu a Jerusalem, e, saudando a egreja, desceu a Antiochia.
23 And 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.
E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando successivamente pela provincia da Galacia e Phrygia, confirmando a todos os discipulos.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
E chegou a Epheso um certo judeo chamado Apollo, natural d'Alexandria, varão eloquente e poderoso nas Escripturas.
25 This 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.
Este era instruido no caminho do Senhor, e, fervoroso de espirito, fallava e ensinava diligentemente as coisas do Senhor, conhecendo sómente o baptismo de João.
26 And 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.
E este começou a fallar ousadamente na synagoga; e, ouvindo-o Priscilla e Aquila, o levaram comsigo, e lhe declararam mais pontualmente o caminho de Deus.
27 And 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:
E, querendo elle passar á Achaia, exhortando-o os irmãos, escreveram aos discipulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, aproveitou muito aos que pela graça criam.
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
Porque com grande vehemencia convencia publicamente os judeos, mostrando pelas Escripturas que Jesus era o Christo.
