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 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to 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 practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
E, porque era do mesmo officio, ficou com elles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por officio fazer tendas.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
E cada sabbado disputava na synagoga, e persuadia a judeos e gregos.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
E, quando Silas e Timotheo desceram da Macedonia, foi Paulo constrangido pelo Espirito, testificando aos judeos que Jesus era o Christo.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to 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 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door 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 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, 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 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
E disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas falla, e não te cales;
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many 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 He lived 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 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Porém, sendo Gallio proconsul da Achaia, levantaram-se os judeos concordemente contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable 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 they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these 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 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
E lançou-os do tribunal.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these 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 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, 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 He came to Ephesus, and he 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 asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
E, rogando-lhe elles que ficasse com elles por mais algum tempo, não conveiu n'isso.
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail 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 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
E, chegando a Cesarea, subiu a Jerusalem, e, saudando a egreja, desceu a Antiochia.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando successivamente pela provincia da Galacia e Phrygia, confirmando a todos os discipulos.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
E chegou a Epheso um certo judeo chamado Apollo, natural d'Alexandria, varão eloquente e poderoso nas Escripturas.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew 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 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
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 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who 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 powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Porque com grande vehemencia convencia publicamente os judeos, mostrando pelas Escripturas que Jesus era o Christo.
