Atos 8
1 E tambem Saulo consentia na morte d'elle. E fez-se n'aquelle dia uma grande perseguição contra a egreja que estava em Jerusalem; e todos foram dispersos pelas terras da Judea e da Samaria, excepto os apostolos.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 E alguns varões piedosos foram enterrar a Estevão, e fizeram sobre elle grande pranto.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 E Saulo assolava a egreja, entrando pelas casas: e, arrastando homens e mulheres, os encerrava na prisão.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Mas os que andavam dispersos iam por toda a parte, annunciando a palavra.
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (logos)
5 E, descendo Philippe a cidade de Samaria, lhes prégava á Christo.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 E as multidões estavam attentas unanimemente ás coisas que Philippe dizia, porquanto ouviam e viam os signaes que elle fazia;
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 Pois os espiritos immundos sahiam de muitos que os tinham, clamando em alta voz; e muitos paralyticos e côxos eram curados.
For unclean spirits, (pneuma) crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 E havia grande alegria n'aquella cidade.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 E havia um certo varão, chamado Simão, que anteriormente exercera n'aquella cidade a arte magica, e tinha illudido a gente de Samaria, dizendo que era um grande personagem:
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which in time past in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 Ao qual todos attendiam, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior, dizendo: Este é a grande virtude de Deus.
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 E attendiam-n'o a elle, porque já desde muito tempo os havia illudido com artes magicas.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 Mas, como crêram em Philippe que lhes prégava ácerca do reino de Deus, e do nome de Jesus Christo, se baptizavam, tanto homens como mulheres.
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 E creu até o mesmo Simão; e, sendo baptizado, ficou de continuo com Philippe; e, vendo os signaes e as grandes maravilhas que se faziam, estava attonito.
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Os apostolos, pois, que estavam em Jerusalem, ouvindo que Samaria recebera a palavra de Deus, enviaram-lhes Pedro e João.
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word (logos) of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Os quaes, tendo descido, oraram por elles para que recebessem o Espirito Sancto.
Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
16 (Porque sobre nenhum d'elles tinha ainda descido; mas sómente eram baptizados em nome do Senhor Jesus.)
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Então lhes impozeram as mãos, e receberam o Espirito Sancto.
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
18 E Simão, vendo que pela imposição das mãos dos apostolos se dava o Espirito Sancto, lhes offereceu dinheiro,
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was given, he offered them money,
19 Dizendo: Dae-me tambem a mim esse poder, para que qualquer sobre quem eu pozer as mãos receba o Espirito Sancto.
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
20 Mas disse-lhe Pedro: O teu dinheiro seja comtigo para perdição, pois cuidaste que o dom de Deus se alcança por dinheiro.
But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Tu não tens parte nem sorte n'esta palavra, porque o teu coração não é recto diante de Deus
You have neither part nor lot in this matter: (logos) for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Arrepende-te pois d'essa tua iniquidade, e ora a Deus, para que porventura te seja perdoado o pensamento do teu coração;
Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 Pois vejo que estás em fel de amargura, e em laço de iniquidade.
For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Respondendo, porém, Simão, disse: Orae vós por mim ao Senhor, para que nada do que dissestes venha sobre mim.
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray all of you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which all of you have spoken come upon me.
25 Tendo elles pois testificado e fallado a palavra do Senhor, voltaram para Jerusalem, e em muitas aldeias dos samaritanos annunciaram o evangelho.
And they, when they had testified and preached the word (logos) of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 E o anjo do Senhor fallou a Philippe, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vae para a banda do sul, ao caminho que desce de Jerusalem para Gaza, que é deserta.
And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 E levantou-se, e foi; e eis que um homem ethiope, eunucho, mordomo-mór de Candace, rainha dos ethiopes, o qual era superintendente de todos os seus thesouros, e tinha ido a Jerusalem a adorar,
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem in order to worship,
28 Regressava, e, assentado no seu carro, lia o propheta Isaias.
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
29 E disse o Espirito a Philippe: Chega-te, e ajunta-te a esse carro.
Then the Spirit (pneuma) said unto Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
30 E, correndo Philippe, ouviu que lia o propheta Isaias, e disse: Entendes tu o que lês?
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understand you what you read?
31 E elle disse: Como o poderei eu, se alguem me não ensinar? E rogou a Philippe que subisse e com elle se assentasse.
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 E o logar da Escriptura que lia era este: Foi levado como a ovelha para o matadouro, e, como está mudo o cordeiro diante do que o tosquia, assim não abriu a sua bocca.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 Na sua humilhação foi tirada a sua sentença; e quem contará a sua geração? porque a sua vida é tirada da terra.
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 E, respondendo o eunucho a Philippe, disse: Rogo-te, de quem diz isto o propheta? De si mesmo, ou d'algum outro?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Então Philippe, abrindo a sua bocca, e começando n'esta Escriptura, lhe annunciou a Jesus.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 E, indo elles caminhando, chegaram ao pé d'alguma agua, e disse o eunucho: Eis aqui agua; que impede que eu seja baptizado?
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized?
37 E disse Philippe: É licito, se crês de todo o coração. E, respondendo elle, disse: Creio que Jesus Christo é o Filho de Deus
And Philip said, If you believe with all of your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 E mandou parar o carro, e desceram ambos á agua, tanto Philippe como o eunucho, e o baptizou.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 E, quando sairam da agua, o Espirito do Senhor arrebatou a Philippe, e não o viu mais o eunucho; e, jubiloso, continuou o seu caminho.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Porém Philippe achou-se em Azoto, e, indo passando, annunciou o evangelho em todas as cidades, até que chegou a Cesarea.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
