Atos 28
1 E tendo sobrevivido, então souberam que a ilha se chamava Malta.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 E os nativos demonstraram para conosco uma benevolência incomum; porque, tendo acendido uma fogueira, recolheram a nós todos, por causa da chuva que estava caindo, e por causa do frio.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 E tendo Paulo recolhido uma quantidade de gravetos, e pondo-os no fogo, saiu uma víbora do calor, e fixou [os dentes] na mão dele.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 E quando os nativos vieram o animal pendurado na mão dele, disseram uns aos outros: Certamente este homem é assassino, ao qual, tendo sobrevivido do mar, a justiça não o deixa viver.
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 Porém, ele, tendo sacudido o animal ao fogo, sofreu nenhum mal.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
6 E eles esperavam que ele fosse inchar, ou cair morto de repente. Mas tendo esperado muito, e vendo que nenhum incômodo tinha lhe sobrevindo, mudaram [de opinião], e diziam que ele era um deus.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 E perto daquele mesmo lugar o homem mais importante da ilha, por nome Públio, tinha algumas propriedades; o qual nos recebeu e nos hospedou por três dias gentilmente.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 E aconteceu que o pai de Públio estava de cama, doente de febres e disenteria; ao qual Paulo entrou, e tendo orado, pôs as mãos sobre ele, e o curou.
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Tendo então isto acontecido, também vieram a ele outros que tinham enfermidades, e foram curados;
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Os quais nos honraram com muitas honras; e estando [nós] para navegar, [nos] entregaram as coisas necessárias.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 E três meses depois, nós partimos em um navio de Alexandria, que tinha passado o inverno na ilha; o qual tinha como símbolo os gêmeos Castor e Pólux.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 E chegando a Siracusa, ficamos [ali] três dias.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 De onde, tendo indo ao redor da costa, chegamos a Régio; e um dia depois, ventando ao sul, viemos o segundo dia a Putéoli.
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 Onde, tendo achado [alguns] irmãos, eles nos rogaram que ficássemos com eles por sete dias; e assim viemos a Roma.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 E os irmãos, ao ouvirem [notícias] sobre nós, desde lá nos saíram ao encontro até a praça de Ápio, e as três tavernas; e Paulo, tendo os visto, agradeceu a Deus, e tomou coragem.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 E quando chegamos a Roma, a Paulo foi permitido morar por si mesmo à parte, junto com o soldado que o guardava.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 E aconteceu que, três dias depois, Paulo chamou juntos os chefes dos judeus; e ao se reunirem, disse-lhes: Homens irmãos, tendo eu nada feito contra o povo, ou contra os costumes dos pais, [mesmo assim] eu vim preso desde Jerusalém, entregue em mãos dos romanos.
It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 Os quais, tendo me investigado, queriam [me] soltar, por não haver em mim nenhum crime de morte.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Mas os judeus, dizendo em contrário, eu fui forçado a apelar a César; [mas] não como que eu tenha que acusar a minha nação.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Então por esta causa eu vos chamei até mim, para [vos] ver e falar; porque pela esperança de Israel eu estou agora preso nesta corrente.
For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
21 Mas eles lhe disseram: Nós nem recebemos cartas da Judeia relacionadas a ti, nem algum dos irmãos, tendo vindo aqui, tem nos informado ou falado de ti algum mal.
They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 Mas nós queríamos ouvir de ti o que tu pensas; porque, quanto a esta seita, conhecemos que em todo lugar [há quem] fale contra ela.
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
23 E tendo eles lhe determinado um dia, muitos vieram até onde ele estava morando; aos quais ele declarava e dava testemunho do Reino de Deus; e procurava persuadi-los quanto a Jesus, tanto pela Lei de Moisés, como [pelos] profetas, desde a manhã até a tarde.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 E alguns criam nas coisas que ele dizia; mas outros não criam.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 E estando discordantes entre si, despediram-se, tendo Paulo disto [esta] palavra: O Espírito Santo corretamente falou a nossos pais por meio de Isaías o profeta,
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
26 Dizendo: Vai a este povo, e dize: De fato ouvireis, mas de maneira nenhuma entendereis; e de fato vereis, mas de maneira nenhuma enxergareis.
saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 Porque o coração deste povo está insensível, seus ouvidos ouvem com dificuldade, e seus olhos estão fechados; para que em maneira nenhuma vejam com os olhos, nem ouçam com os ouvidos, nem entendam com o coração, e se convertam, e eu os cure.
For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
28 Portanto seja conhecido por vós que a salvação de Deus foi enviada aos gentios; e eles [a] ouvirão.
"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 E Paulo ficou dois anos inteiros em sua própria casa alugada; e recebia a todos quantos vinham a ele;
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 Pregando o Reino de Deus, e ensinando com ousadia a doutrina do Senhor Jesus Cristo, sem impedimento algum.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
