Atos 16
1 E chegou a Derbe e Lystra. E eis que estava ali um certo discípulo por nome Timotheo, filho de uma mulher judia fiel, mas de pai grego:
And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos que estavam em Lystra e em Icônio.
The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paulo quis que este fosse com ele: e tomando-o, o circuncidou, por causa dos judeus que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 E, quando iam passando pelas cidades, lhes entregavam, para serem observados, os decretos que haviam sido estabelecidos pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém.
And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 De sorte que as igrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e cada dia se aumentavam em número.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 E, passando pela Phrygia e pela província da Galacia, foram impedidos pelo Espírito Santo de anunciar a palavra na Asia.
And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
7 E, quando chegaram a Mysia, intentavam ir para Bithynia, porém o espírito não lho permitiu.
and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
8 E, passando por Mysia, desceram a Troas.
and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 E Paulo viu de noite uma visão, em que se apresentou um varão da Macedônia, e lhe rogou, dizendo: Passa à Macedônia, e ajuda-nos.
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 E, logo que viu a visão, procuramos partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que o Senhor nos chamava para lhes anunciarmos o evangelho.
And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.
11 E, navegando de Troas, fomos correndo caminho direito para Samothracia, e no dia seguinte para Nápoles;
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 E dali para Philipos, que é a primeira cidade desta parte da Macedônia, e é uma colônia; e estivemos alguns dias naquela cidade.
and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
13 E no dia de sábado saímos fora da cidade para o rio, onde se costumava fazer oração; e, assentando-nos, falamos às mulheres que ali se ajuntaram.
And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.
14 E uma certa mulher, chamada Lydia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Thyatira, e que servia a Deus, nos ouvia, e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para que estivesse atenta ao que Paulo dizia.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 E, depois que foi batizada, ela e a sua casa, nos rogou, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa, e ficai ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 E aconteceu que, indo nós à oração, nos saiu ao encontro uma moça que tinha espírito de adivinhação, a qual, adivinhando, dava grande lucro aos seus senhores.
And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 Esta, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens, que nos anunciam o caminho da salvação, são servos do Deus altíssimo.
The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
18 E ela fazia isto por muitos dias. Porém, descontentando isto a Paulo, voltou-se, e disse ao espírito: Em nome de Jesus Cristo, te mando que saias dela. E na mesma hora saiu.
And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 E, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro estava perdida, pegaram de Paulo e Silas, e os levaram à praça, à presença dos magistrados.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
20 E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeus, perturbaram a nossa cidade,
and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 E pregam ritos que nos não é lícito receber nem praticar, visto que somos romanos.
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
22 E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra eles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoita-los com varas,
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
23 E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou no cárcere mais interior, e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 E, perto da meia noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, e os outros presos os escutavam.
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26 E de repente sobreveio um tão grande terremoto, que os alicerces do cárcere se moveram, e logo se abriram todas as portas e se soltaram as prisões de todos.
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 E, acordando o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirando da espada, quis matar-se, cuidando que os presos já tinham fugido.
And the jailor, 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.
28 Porém Paulo clamou com grande voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 E, pedindo luz, saltou dentro, e, todo tremendo, se prostrou aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 E, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?
and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 E eles disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Cristo, e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 E lhe falavam a palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
33 E, tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes os açoites; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
34 E, levando-os a sua casa, lhes pôs a mesa; e, crendo em Deus, alegrou-se com toda a sua casa.
And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
35 E, sendo já dia, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros, dizendo: soltai aqueles homens.
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 E o carcereiro anunciou a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que vos soltasse; agora pois saí, e ide em paz.
And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
37 Porém Paulo disse-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente e, sem ser sentenciados, sendo homens romanos, nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fora? Não será assim; mas venham eles mesmos e tirem-nos para fora.
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e eles temeram, ouvindo que eram romanos.
And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;
39 E, vindo, lhes rogaram; e, tirando-os para fora, lhes pediram que saissem da cidade.
and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
40 E, saindo da prisão, entraram em casa de Lydia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e depois partiram.
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
