Acts 25
1 Festus therefore having entered into the province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Entrando pois Festo na provincia, subiu d'ali a tres dias de Cesarea a Jerusalem.
2 And the high priest and the principal men of the Jews appeared to him against Paul, and urged him,
E o summo sacerdote e os principaes dos judeos compareceram perante elle contra Paulo, e lhe rogaram,
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to kill him on the way.
Pedindo favor contra elle, para que o fizesse vir a Jerusalem, armando-lhe ciladas para o matarem no caminho.
4 Indeed therefore Festus answered to keep Paul in Caesarea, and he himself was going to go out quickly.
Porém Festo respondeu que Paulo estava guardado em Cesarea, e que elle brevemente partiria para lá.
5 Therefore he says, Let the able men among you, after coming down together, accuse him if there is anything in this man.
Os que pois, disse, d'entre vós podem, desçam juntamente comigo, e, se n'este varão houver algum crime, accusem-n'o.
6 And after remaining among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.
E, não se havendo entre elles detido mais de dez dias, desceu a Cesarea; e no dia seguinte, assentando-se no tribunal, mandou que trouxessem Paulo.
7 And when he arrived, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, bringing many and serious accusations against Paul, which they could not prove,
E, chegando elle, o rodeiaram os judeos que haviam descido de Jerusalem, trazendo contra Paulo muitas e graves accusações, que não podiam provar.
8 while he was defending, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I transgressed anything.
Pelo que, em sua defeza, disse: Eu não pequei em coisa alguma contra a lei dos judeos, nem contra o templo, nem contra Cesar.
9 But Festus, wanting to lay down a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Are thou willing, after going up to Jerusalem, to be judged there about these things before me?
Porém Festo, querendo comprazer com os judeos, respondendo a Paulo, disse: Queres tu subir a Jerusalem, e ser lá perante mim julgado ácerca d'estas coisas?
10 But Paul said, I am standing at the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. I did nothing wrong Jewish, as thou also very well know.
E Paulo disse: Estou perante o tribunal de Cesar, onde convem que seja julgado; não fiz aggravo algum aos judeos, como tu muito bem sabes;
11 For if I am indeed wrong, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing of what these men accuse me, no man can give me to them freely. I appeal Caesar.
Porque, se fiz algum aggravo, ou commetti alguma coisa digna de morte, não recuso morrer; porém, se nada ha das coisas de que estes me accusam, ninguem me pode entregar a elles; appello para Cesar.
12 Then Festus, when he conferred with the council, answered, Thou have appealed Caesar, to Caesar thou will go.
Então Festo, tendo fallado com o conselho, respondeu: Appellaste para Cesar? para Cesar irás.
13 Now some days having passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, greeting Festus.
E, passados alguns dias, o rei Agrippa e Berenice vieram a Cesarea, a saudar Festo.
14 And as he was remaining there more days, Festus declared to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, There is a certain man who was left behind a prisoner by Felix,
E, como ali se detiveram muitos dias, Festo contou ao rei os negocios de Paulo, dizendo: Um certo varão foi deixado por Felix aqui preso,
15 about whom, when I became in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews revealed, asking judgment against him.
Por cujo respeito os principaes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos dos judeos, estando eu em Jerusalem, compareceram perante mim, pedindo sentença contra elle.
16 To whom I answered, that it is not a custom by Romans to give any man freely for destruction, before the man being accused has the accusers in person, and receives an occasion of defense about the accusation.
Aos quaes respondi não ser costume dos romanos entregar algum homem á morte, sem que o accusado tenha presentes os seus accusadores, e tenha logar de defender-se da accusação.
17 When therefore they assembled here, not having made one delay, next in order, having sat on the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
De sorte que, chegando elles aqui juntos, no dia seguinte, sem fazer dilação alguma, assentado no tribunal, mandei trazer o homem.
18 About whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought not one cause of what I supposed,
Ácerca do qual, estando presentes os accusadores, nenhuma coisa apontaram d'aquellas que eu suspeitava.
19 but had certain issues against him about his own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who has died, whom Paul was claiming to be alive.
Tinham, porém, contra elle algumas questões ácerca da sua superstição, e de um certo Jesus, defunto, que Paulo affirmava viver.
20 And I, being uncertain of the controversy about this man, asked whether he wants to go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these things.
E, estando eu perplexo ácerca da inquirição d'esta causa, disse se queria ir a Jerusalem, e lá ser julgado ácerca d'estas coisas.
21 But when Paul appealed to be kept for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.
E, appellando Paulo para ser reservado ao conhecimento de Augusto, mandei que o guardassem até que o enviasse a Cesar.
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, I also want to hear the man myself. And tomorrow, he says, thou will hear him.
Então Agrippa disse a Festo: Bem quizera eu tambem ouvir esse homem. E elle disse: Ámanhã o ouvirás.
23 Therefore on the morrow, Agrippa and Bernice having come with great pomp, and having entered into the courtroom, and with the chief captains and the men of prominence who were of the city, and Festus who commanded, Paul was brought in.
De sorte que, no dia seguinte, vindo Agrippa e Berenice, com muito apparato, e entrando no auditorio com os tribunos e varões principaes da cidade, trouxeram a Paulo por mandado de Festo.
24 And Festus says, King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, ye see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting he ought not to live any longer.
E Festo disse: Rei Agrippa, e todos os varões que estaes presentes comnosco: aqui vêdes aquelle de quem toda a multidão dos judeos me tem fallado, tanto em Jerusalem como aqui, clamando que não convém que viva mais
25 But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death, and also him, this man, having appealed Augustus I decided to send him.
Porém, achando eu que nenhuma coisa digna de morte fizera, e appellando elle mesmo tambem para Augusto, tenho determinado enviar-lh'o.
26 About whom I do not have anything certain to write to the lord. Therefore I brought him before you, and especially before thee, King Agrippa, so that, an examination having occurred, I may have something to write.
Do qual não tenho coisa alguma certa que escreva ao meu senhor, pelo que perante vós o trouxe, e mórmente perante ti, ó rei Agrippa, para que, feita informação, tenha alguma coisa que escrever.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to specify the causes against him.
Porque me parece contra a razão enviar um preso, e não notificar contra elle as accusações.
