Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
E havia em Cesarea um certo varão por nome Cornelio, centurião da cohorte chamada italiana,
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
Piedoso e temente a Deus, com toda a sua casa, o qual fazia muitas esmolas ao povo, e de continuo orava a Deus.
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
Este, quasi á hora nona do dia, viu claramente em visão um anjo de Deus, que se dirigia para elle e dizia: Cornelio.
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
E este, fixando os olhos n'elle, e muito atemorisado, disse: Que é, Senhor? E disse-lhe: As tuas orações e as tuas esmolas teem subido para memoria diante de Deus;
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Agora, pois, envia varões a Joppe, e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Este pousa em casa de um certo Simão curtidor, que tem a sua casa junto do mar. Elle te dirá o que deves fazer.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
E, ido o anjo que lhe fallava, chamou dois dos seus creados, e a um piedoso soldado dos que estavam ao seu serviço.
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
E, havendo-lhes contado tudo, os enviou a Joppe.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
E no dia seguinte, indo elles seu caminho, e chegando perto da cidade, subiu Pedro ao terraço para orar, quasi á hora sexta.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
E, tendo fome, quiz comer; e, emquanto lh'o preparavam, sobreveiu-lhe um arrebatamento de sentidos:
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
E viu o céu aberto, e que para elle descia um certo vaso, como um grande lençol atado pelas quatro pontas, e abaixando-se para a terra.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
No qual havia de todos os animaes da terra quadrupedes, féras e reptis, e aves do céu.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
E foi-lhe dirigida uma voz: Levanta-te, Pedro, mata e come.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Porém Pedro disse: De modo nenhum, Senhor, porque nunca comi coisa alguma commum nem immunda.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
E segunda vez lhe disse a voz: Não faças tu commum ao que Deus purificou.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
E aconteceu isto por tres vezes; e o vaso tornou a recolher-se para o céu.
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
E, estando Pedro duvidando entre si que seria aquella visão que tinha visto, eis que os varões que foram enviados por Cornelio, pararam á porta, perguntando pela casa de Simão.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
E, chamando, perguntaram se Simão, que tinha por sobrenome Pedro, pousava ali.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
E, pensando Pedro n'aquella visão, disse-lhe o Espirito: Eis que tres varões te buscam:
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Levanta-te pois, e desce, e vae com elles, não duvidando; porque eu os enviei.
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
E Pedro, descendo para junto dos varões que lhe foram enviados por Cornelio, disse: Eis que sou eu a quem procuraes; qual é a causa porque estaes aqui?
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
E elles disseram: Cornelio, o centurião, varão justo e temente a Deus, e que tem bom testemunho de toda a nação dos judeos, foi avisado por um sancto anjo para que mandasse chamar-te a sua casa, e ouvisse de ti palavras.
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Então, chamando-os para dentro, os recebeu em casa. Porém no dia seguinte foi Pedro com elles, e foram com elle alguns irmãos de Joppe.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
E no dia immediato chegaram a Cesarea. E Cornelio os estava esperando, tendo já convidado a seus parentes e amigos mais intimos.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
E aconteceu que, entrando Pedro, saiu Cornelio a recebel-o, e, prostrando-se a seus pés, o adorou.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Porém Pedro o levantou, dizendo: Levanta-te, eu mesmo tambem sou homem.
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
E, fallando com elle, entrou, e achou muitos que ali se haviam ajuntado.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
E disse-lhes: Vós bem sabeis como não é licito a um varão judeo ajuntar-se ou chegar-se a estrangeiros; mas Deus mostrou-me que a nenhum homem chame commum ou immundo:
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Pelo que, sendo chamado, vim sem contradizer. Pergunto pois; por que razão mandastes chamar-me?
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
E disse Cornelio: Ha quatro dias estava eu em jejum até esta hora, e orava em minha casa á hora nona.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
E eis que diante de mim se apresentou um varão com um vestido resplandecente, e disse: Cornelio, a tua oração é ouvida, e as tuas esmolas estão em memoria diante de Deus
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
Envia pois a Joppe, e manda chamar Simão, o que tem por sobrenome Pedro; este pousa em casa de Simão o curtidor, junto do mar, e elle, vindo, te fallará.
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
Assim que logo mandei a ti; e bem fizeste em vir. Agora pois estamos todos presentes diante de Deus, para ouvir tudo quanto por Deus te é mandado.
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
E Pedro, abrindo a bocca, disse: Reconheço por verdade que Deus não faz accepção de pessoas;
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
Mas que lhe é agradavel aquelle que, em qualquer nação, o teme e obra a justiça.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
A palavra que elle enviou aos filhos d'Israel, annunciando a paz por Jesus Christo (este é o Senhor de todos),
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Esta palavra, vós bem sabeis, veiu por toda a Judea, começando desde a Galilea, depois do baptismo que João prégou;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Emquanto a Jesus de Nazareth, como Deus o ungiu com o Espirito Sancto e com virtude; o qual andou fazendo bem, e curando a todos os opprimidos do diabo, porque Deus era com elle.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
E nós somos testemunhas de todas as coisas que fez, tanto na terra da Judea como em Jerusalem: ao qual mataram, pendurando-o n'um madeiro.
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
A este resuscitou Deus ao terceiro dia, e fez que fosse manifesto,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Não a todo o povo, mas ás testemunhas que Deus antes ordenára; a nós, que comemos e bebemos juntamente com elle, depois que resuscitou dos mortos.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
E mandou-nos prégar ao povo, e testificar que elle é aquelle que por Deus foi constituido juiz dos vivos e dos mortos.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
A este dão testemunho todos os prophetas, de que todos os que n'elle crêrem receberão o perdão dos peccados pelo seu nome.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
E, dizendo Pedro ainda estas palavras, caiu o Espirito Sancto sobre todos os que ouviam a palavra.
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
E os fieis que eram da circumcisão, todos quantos tinham vindo com Pedro, maravilharam-se de que o dom do Espirito Sancto se derramasse tambem sobre os gentios.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Porque os ouviam fallar linguas, e magnificar a Deus.
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
Respondeu então Pedro: Pode alguem porventura impedir a agua, para que não sejam baptizados estes, que tambem receberam como nós o Espirito Sancto?
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
E mandou que fossem baptizados em nome do Senhor. Então rogaram-lhe que ficasse com elles por alguns dias.
