1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
Agora a respeito da coleta para os santos: como ordenei as assembléias da Galatia, vocês fazem o mesmo.
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
No primeiro dia de cada semana, que cada um de vocês economize, pois pode prosperar, para que nenhuma coleta seja feita quando eu chegar.
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
Quando eu chegar, enviarei a quem aprovarem com cartas para levar seu gracioso presente a Jerusalém.
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
Se for apropriado que eu vá também, eles irão comigo.
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
Eu irei até você quando tiver passado pela Macedônia, pois estou de passagem pela Macedônia.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
Mas com vocês pode ser que eu fique com vocês, ou até mesmo que invernem com vocês, para que vocês me enviem em minha viagem para onde quer que eu vá.
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
Pois não desejo vê-lo agora de passagem, mas espero ficar um pouco com você, se o Senhor permitir.
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
Mas ficarei em Éfeso até Pentecostes,
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
pois uma grande e eficaz porta se abriu para mim, e há muitos adversários.
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
Agora, se Timothy vier, veja que ele está com você sem medo, pois ele faz a obra do Senhor, como eu também faço.
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
Portanto, que ninguém o despreze. Mas que o encaminhe em sua jornada em paz, para que ele venha até mim; pois o espero com os irmãos.
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
Agora a respeito de Apolo, o irmão, eu o instei fortemente a vir até você com os irmãos, mas não era de todo seu desejo vir agora; mas ele virá quando tiver uma oportunidade.
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
Assista! Fique firme na fé! Sejam corajosos! Sejam fortes!
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
Que tudo o que você fizer seja feito com amor.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
Agora eu vos imploro, irmãos - vocês conhecem a casa de Stephanas, que é a primeira fruta de Achaia, e que eles se colocaram a serviço dos santos -
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
que vocês também estejam sujeitos a tais, e a todos que ajudam no trabalho e no trabalho.
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
Alegro-me com a vinda de Stephanas, Fortunatus e Achaicus; por aquilo que faltava de sua parte, eles forneceram.
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
Pois eles refrescaram meu espírito e o seu. Portanto, reconheça aqueles que são assim.
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
As assembléias da Ásia o saúdam. Aquila e Priscilla vos saúdam calorosamente no Senhor, juntamente com a assembléia que está em sua casa.
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Todos os irmãos o saúdam. Saudai-vos uns aos outros com um beijo santo.
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
Esta saudação é feita por mim, Paul, com minha própria mão.
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
Se algum homem não ama o Senhor Jesus Cristo, que ele seja amaldiçoado. Vem, Senhor!
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
A graça do Senhor Jesus Cristo esteja com você.
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Meu amor a todos vocês em Cristo Jesus. Amém.
