Acts 16
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
E chegou a Derbe e Lystra. E eis que estava ali um certo discipulo por nome Timotheo, filho de uma mulher judia fiel, mas de pae grego:
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos que estavam em Lystra e em Iconio.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Paulo quiz que este fosse com elle: e tomando-o, o circumcidou, por causa dos judeos que estavam n'aquelles logares; porque todos sabiam que seu pae era grego.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
E, quando iam passando pelas cidades, lhes entregavam, para serem observados, os decretos que haviam sido estabelecidos pelos apostolos e anciãos em Jerusalem.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
De sorte que as egrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e cada dia se augmentavam em numero.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
E, passando pela Phrygia e pela provincia da Galacia, foram impedidos pelo Espirito Sancto de annunciar a palavra na Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
E, quando chegaram a Mysia, intentavam ir para Bithynia, porém o Espirito não lh'o permittiu.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
E, passando por Mysia, desceram a Troas.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
E Paulo viu de noite uma visão, em que se apresentou um varão da Macedonia, e lhe rogou, dizendo: Passa á Macedonia, e ajuda-nos.
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
E, logo que viu a visão, procurámos partir para a Macedonia, concluindo que o Senhor nos chamava para lhes annunciarmos o evangelho.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
E, navegando de Troas, fomos correndo caminho direito para Samothracia, e no dia seguinte para Napoles;
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
E d'ali para Philippos, que é a primeira cidade d'esta parte da Macedonia, e é uma colonia; e estivemos alguns dias n'aquella cidade.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
E no dia de sabbado saimos fóra da cidade para o rio, onde se costumava fazer oração; e, assentando-nos, fallámos ás mulheres que ali se ajuntaram.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
E uma certa mulher, chamada Lydia, vendedora de purpura, da cidade de Thyatira, e que servia a Deus, nos ouvia, e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para que estivesse attenta ao que Paulo dizia.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
E, depois que foi baptizada, ella e a sua casa, nos rogou, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrae em minha casa, e ficae ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
E aconteceu que, indo nós á oração, nos saiu ao encontro uma moça que tinha espirito de adivinhação, a qual, adivinhando, dava grande lucro aos seus senhores.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
Esta, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens, que nos annunciam o caminho da salvação, são servos do Deus Altissimo.
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
E ella fazia isto por muitos dias. Porém, descontentando isto a Paulo, voltou-se, e disse ao espirito: Em nome de Jesus Christo, te mando que saias d'ella. E na mesma hora saiu.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
E, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro estava perdida, pegaram de Paulo e Silas, e os levaram á praça, á presença dos magistrados.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeos, perturbaram a nossa cidade,
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
E prégam ritos que nos não é licito receber nem praticar, visto que somos romanos.
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra elles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoital-os com varas,
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou no carcere mais interior, e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
E, perto da meia noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hymnos a Deus, e os outros presos os escutavam.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
E de repente sobreveiu um tão grande terremoto, que os alicerces do carcere se moveram, e logo se abriram todas as portas e se soltaram as prisões de todos.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
E, acordando o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirando da espada, quiz matar-se, cuidando que os presos já tinham fugido.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Porém Paulo clamou com grande voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos.
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
E, pedindo luz, saltou dentro, e, todo tremendo, se prostrou aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
E, tirando-os para fóra, disse: Senhores, que me é necessario fazer para me salvar?
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
E elles disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Christo, e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
E lhe fallavam a palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
E, tomando-os elle comsigo n'aquella mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes os açoites; e logo foi baptizado, elle e todos os seus.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
E, levando-os a sua casa, lhes poz a mesa; e, crendo em Deus, alegrou-se com toda a sua casa.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
E, sendo já dia, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros, dizendo: Soltae aquelles homens.
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
E o carcereiro annunciou a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que vos soltasse; agora pois sahi, e ide em paz.
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
Porém Paulo disse-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente e, sem ser sentenciados, sendo homens romanos, nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fóra? Não será assim; mas venham elles mesmos e tirem-nos para fóra.
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e elles temeram, ouvindo que eram romanos.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
E, vindo, lhes rogaram; e, tirando-os para fóra, lhes pediram que saissem da cidade.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
E, saindo da prisão, entraram em casa de Lydia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e depois partiram.
