Acts 9
1 And Saul yet breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of ye Lord, went vnto the hie Priest,
E Saulo, respirando ainda ameaças e mortes contra os discipulos do Senhor, dirigiu-se ao summo sacerdote,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
E pediu-lhe cartas para Damasco, para as synagogas, para que, se encontrasse alguns d'aquella seita, quer homens quer mulheres, os conduzisse presos a Jerusalem.
3 Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
E, indo já no caminho, aconteceu que, chegando perto de Damasco, subitamente o cercou um resplendor de luz do céu.
4 And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
E, caindo em terra, ouviu uma voz que lhe dizia: Saulo, Saulo, porque me persegues?
5 And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
E elle disse: Quem és, Senhor? E disse o Senhor: Eu sou Jesus, a quem tu persegues. Duro é para ti recalcitrar contra os aguilhões.
6 He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe.
E elle, tremendo e attonito, disse: Senhor, que queres que faça? E disse-lhe o Senhor: Levanta-te, e entra na cidade, e ali te será dito o que te convem fazer.
7 The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, but seeing no man.
E os varões, que iam com elle, pararam attonitos, ouvindo a voz, mas não vendo ninguem.
8 And Saul arose from the ground, and opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus,
E Saulo levantou-se da terra, e, abrindo os olhos, não via a ninguem. E, guiando-o pela mão, o conduziram a Damasco.
9 Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke.
E esteve tres dias sem vêr, e não comeu nem bebeu.
10 And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him sayd the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he sayd, Beholde, I am here Lord.
E havia em Damasco um certo discipulo chamado Ananias; e disse-lhe o Senhor em visão: Ananias! E elle respondeu: Eis-me aqui, Senhor.
11 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise, and goe into the streete which is called Straight, and seeke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tarsus: for beholde, he prayeth.
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Levanta-te, e vae á rua chamada Direita, e pergunta em casa de Judas por um chamado Saulo, de Tarso; pois eis que elle ora;
12 (And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)
E tem visto em visão que entrava um homem chamado Ananias, e punha sobre elle a mão, para que tornasse a vêr.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem.
E respondeu Ananias: Senhor, a muitos ouvi ácerca d'este varão, quantos males tem feito aos teus sanctos em Jerusalem;
14 Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name.
E aqui tem poder dos principaes dos sacerdotes para prender a todos os que invocam o teu nome.
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel.
Disse-lhe, porém, o Senhor: Vae, porque este é para mim vaso escolhido, para levar o meu nome diante dos gentios, e dos reis e dos filhos d'Israel.
16 For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.
Porque eu lhe mostrarei quanto deve padecer pelo meu nome.
17 Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.
E Ananias foi, e entrou na casa, e, impondo-lhe as mãos, disse: Irmão Saulo, o Senhor Jesus, que te appareceu no caminho por onde vinhas, me enviou, para que tornes a vêr e sejas cheio do Espirito Sancto.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,
E logo lhe cairam dos olhos como que umas escamas, e recebeu logo a vista; e, levantando-se, foi baptizado.
19 And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
E, tendo comido, ficou confortado. E esteve Saulo alguns dias com os discipulos que estavam em Damasco.
20 And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,
E logo nas synagogas prégava a Jesus, que este era o Filho de Deus.
21 So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests?
E todos os que o ouviam estavam attonitos, e diziam: Não é este aquelle que em Jerusalem assolava aos que invocavam esse nome, e para isso veiu aqui, para os levar presos aos principaes dos sacerdotes?
22 But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.
Porém Saulo se esforçava muito mais, e confundia os judeos que habitavam em Damasco, provando que aquelle era o Christo.
23 And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,
E, tendo passado muitos dias, os judeos tomaram conselho entre si para o matar.
24 But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
Mas as suas ciladas vieram ao conhecimento de Saulo: e elles guardavam as portas, tanto de dia como de noite, para poderem matal-o.
25 Then the disciples tooke him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him downe by a rope in a basket.
Porém, tomando-o de noite os discipulos, o arriaram, dentro d'um cesto, pelo muro.
26 And when Saul was come to Hierusalem, he assayed to ioyne himselfe with the disciples: but they were all afrayd of him, and beleeued not that he was a disciple.
E, quando Saulo chegou a Jerusalem, procurava ajuntar-se aos discipulos, porém todos se temiam d'elle, não crendo que fosse discipulo.
27 But Barnabas tooke him, and brought him to the Apostles, and declared to them, howe hee had seene the Lord in the way, and that hee had spoken vnto him, and how he had spoken boldly at Damascus in the Name of Iesus.
Mas Barnabé, tomando-o comsigo, o trouxe aos apostolos, e lhes contou como no caminho elle vira ao Senhor e lhe fallara, e como em Damasco fallara ousadamente no nome de Jesus.
28 And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,
E andava com elles em Jerusalem, entrando e saindo.
29 And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
E fallou ousadamente no nome de Jesus. Fallava e disputava tambem contra os gregos, mas elles procuravam matal-o.
30 But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Sabendo-o, porém, os irmãos, o acompanharam até Cesarea, e o enviaram a Tarso.
31 Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.
Assim pois, as egrejas em toda a Judea, e Galilea e Samaria tinham paz, e eram edificadas; e se multiplicavam, andando no temor do Senhor e consolação do Espirito Sancto.
32 And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
E aconteceu que, passando Pedro por todas as partes, veiu tambem aos sanctos que habitavam em Lydda.
33 And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.
E achou ali um certo homem, chamado Eneas, jazendo n'uma cama havia oito annos, o qual era paralytico.
34 Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.
E disse-lhe Pedro: Eneas, Jesus Christo te dá saude; levanta-te e faze a tua cama. E logo se levantou.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.
E viram-n'o todos os que habitavam em Lydda e Sarona, os quaes se converteram ao Senhor.
36 There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did.
E havia em Joppe uma certa discipula chamada Tabitha, que traduzido se diz Dorcas. Esta estava cheia de boas obras e esmolas que fazia.
37 And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.
E aconteceu n'aquelles dias, que, enfermando ella, morreu; e, tendo-a lavado, a depositaram n'um quarto alto.
38 Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.
E, como Lydda era perto de Joppe, ouvindo os discipulos que Pedro estava ali, lhe mandaram dois varões, rogando-lhe que não se demorasse em vir ter com elles.
39 Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
E, levantando-se Pedro, foi com elles; e quando chegou o levaram ao quarto alto, e todas as viuvas o rodearam, chorando e mostrando as tunicas e vestidos que Dorcas fizera quando estava com ellas.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.
Porém Pedro, fazendo-as sair a todas, poz-se de joelhos e orou: e, voltando-se para o corpo, disse: Tabitha, levanta-te. E ella abriu os olhos, e, vendo a Pedro, assentou-se,
41 Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.
E elle dando-lhe a mão a levantou, e, chamando os sanctos e as viuvas, apresentou-lh'a viva.
42 And it was knowen throughout all Ioppa, and many beleeued in the Lord.
E foi isto notorio por toda a Joppe, e muitos crêram no Senhor.
43 And it came to passe that he taried many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a Tanner.
E aconteceu que ficou muitos dias em Joppe, com um certo Simão curtidor.
