Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Agora, na assembléia que estava em Antioquia, havia alguns profetas e professores: Barnabé, Simeão que se chamava Níger, Lúcio de Cirene, Manaen, o irmão adotivo de Herodes, o tetrarca, e Saulo.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Enquanto serviam ao Senhor e jejuavam, o Espírito Santo disse: “Separai Barnabé e Saulo para mim, para a obra para a qual os chamei”.
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Então, quando jejuaram, rezaram e colocaram as mãos sobre eles, os mandaram embora.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Então, sendo enviados pelo Espírito Santo, eles desceram para Seleucia. De lá eles navegaram para Chipre.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Quando estavam em Salamis, proclamaram a palavra de Deus nas sinagogas judaicas. Tiveram também João como seu acompanhante.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Quando atravessaram a ilha até Pafos, encontraram um certo feiticeiro, um falso profeta, um judeu cujo nome era Bar Jesus,
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
que estava com o procônsul, Sergius Paulus, um homem de entendimento. Este homem convocou Barnabé e Saulo, e procurou ouvir a palavra de Deus.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Mas Elymas, o feiticeiro (pois assim é seu nome por interpretação) resistiu a eles, procurando afastar o procônsul da fé.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Mas Saul, que também se chama Paulo, cheio do Espírito Santo, fixou seus olhos nele
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
e disse: “Filho do diabo, cheio de todo engano e de toda astúcia, inimigo de toda justiça, não cessarás de perverter os caminhos corretos do Senhor?
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Agora, eis que a mão do Senhor está sobre ti, e ficarás cego, não vendo o sol por uma estação do ano”! Imediatamente uma névoa e escuridão caíram sobre ele. Ele andou por aí procurando alguém que o conduzisse pela mão.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Então o procônsul, ao ver o que estava sendo feito, acreditou, maravilhando-se com o ensinamento do Senhor.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Agora Paul e sua empresa zarparam de Paphos e vieram para Perga em Pamphylia. João partiu deles e retornou a Jerusalém.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Mas eles, passando de Perga, vieram para Antioquia da Pisídia. Entraram na sinagoga no dia de sábado e se sentaram.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Após a leitura da lei e dos profetas, os chefes da sinagoga enviaram a eles, dizendo: “Irmãos, se vocês têm alguma palavra de exortação para o povo, falem”.
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Paulo levantou-se, e gesticulando com a mão disse: “Homens de Israel, e vós que temeis a Deus, escutai”.
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
O Deus deste povo escolheu nossos pais, e exaltou o povo quando eles ficaram como estrangeiros na terra do Egito, e com um braço erguido, ele os conduziu para fora dela.
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
Por um período de cerca de quarenta anos, ele os suportou no deserto.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Quando ele havia destruído sete nações na terra de Canaã, ele lhes deu sua terra por uma herança de cerca de quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
Depois destas coisas, ele lhes deu juízes até Samuel, o profeta.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Afterward eles pediram um rei, e Deus lhes deu Saul, filho de Kish, um homem da tribo de Benjamin, por quarenta anos.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Quando ele o retirou, levantou Davi para ser o rei deles, ao qual também testemunhou: “Encontrei Davi, filho de Jessé, um homem de coração, que fará toda a minha vontade”.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Da descendência deste homem, Deus trouxe salvação a Israel de acordo com sua promessa,
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
antes de sua vinda, quando João tinha pregado pela primeira vez o batismo de arrependimento a Israel.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Quando João estava cumprindo seu curso, ele disse: 'O que você supõe que eu sou? Eu não sou ele”. Mas eis que alguém vem atrás de mim, cujas sandálias eu não sou digno de desatar”.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
“Irmãos, filhos de Abraão, e aqueles entre vocês que temem a Deus, a palavra desta salvação é enviada a vocês.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Para aqueles que habitam em Jerusalém, e seus governantes, porque não o conheciam, nem as vozes dos profetas que são lidas todos os sábados, cumpriram-nas, condenando-o.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Embora não tenham encontrado causa de morte, pediram a Pilatos que o matasse.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Quando cumpriram todas as coisas que estavam escritas sobre ele, tiraram-no da árvore e o colocaram em uma tumba.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Mas Deus o ressuscitou dos mortos,
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
e ele foi visto por muitos dias por aqueles que vieram com ele da Galiléia a Jerusalém, que são suas testemunhas para o povo.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Trazemos-lhe uma boa notícia da promessa feita aos pais,
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
de que Deus cumpriu isto para nós, seus filhos, em que Ele ressuscitou Jesus. Como também está escrito no segundo salmo, Você é meu Filho. Hoje eu me tornei seu pai”.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
“Quanto ao fato de que ele o ressuscitou dos mortos, agora não mais para voltar à corrupção, ele falou assim: “Eu lhe darei as sagradas e seguras bênçãos de David”.
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Portanto, ele diz também em outro salmo: 'Não permitirá que seu Santo veja a decadência'.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Pois David, depois de ter servido em sua própria geração o conselho de Deus, adormeceu, foi deitado com seus pais, e viu a decadência.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Mas aquele que Deus ressuscitou não viu a decadência.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Saibais, pois, irmãos, que através deste homem é proclamada a vós a remissão dos pecados;
e por ele todo aquele que crê é justificado de todas as coisas, das quais não podíeis ser justificados pela lei de Moisés.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Cuidado, portanto, para que não venha sobre vós aquilo que é dito nos profetas:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
'Vejam, seus escarnecedores! Maravilha e pereça, pois eu trabalho um trabalho em seus dias, uma obra na qual você não acreditará de forma alguma, se alguém a declarar a você””.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Assim, quando os judeus saíram da sinagoga, os gentios imploraram que estas palavras pudessem ser pregadas a eles no próximo sábado.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Agora, quando a sinagoga se separou, muitos dos judeus e dos prosélitos devotos seguiram Paulo e Barnabé que, falando com eles, os exortaram a continuar na graça de Deus.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
No sábado seguinte, quase toda a cidade estava reunida para ouvir a palavra de Deus.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Mas quando os judeus viram as multidões, ficaram cheios de ciúmes e contrariaram as coisas que foram ditas por Paulo, e blasfemaram.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Paul e Barnabé falaram corajosamente e disseram: “Era necessário que a palavra de Deus fosse dita primeiro a vocês”. Uma vez que de fato vocês a impingiram a vocês mesmos e se julgam indignos da vida eterna, eis que nos voltamos para os gentios”. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Pois assim nos ordenou o Senhor, dizendo, “Eu o coloquei como uma luz para os gentios”, que você deve levar a salvação aos confins da terra””.
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Quando os gentios ouviram isto, ficaram contentes e glorificaram a palavra de Deus. Todos os que foram designados para a vida eterna acreditavam. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
A palavra do Senhor foi difundida no exterior em toda a região.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Mas os judeus agitaram as mulheres devotas e proeminentes e os chefes da cidade, e agitaram uma perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé, e os expulsaram de suas fronteiras.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Mas eles sacudiram a poeira de seus pés contra eles, e vieram para Iconium.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Os discípulos estavam cheios de alegria e do Espírito Santo.
