Acts of the Apostles 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.	1 Havia então na Igreja de Antioquia profetas e doutores, entre eles Barnabé, Simão, apelidado o Negro, Lúcio de Cirene, Manaém, companheiro de infância do tetrarca Herodes, e Saulo.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."	2 Enquanto celebravam o culto do Senhor, depois de terem jejuado, disse-lhes o Espírito Santo: Separai-me Barnabé e Saulo para a obra a que os tenho destinado.
3 Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.	3 Então, jejuando e orando, impuseram-lhes as mãos e os despediram.
4 So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.	4 Enviados assim pelo Espírito Santo, foram a Selêucia e dali navegaram para a ilha de Chipre.
5 When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John also as their assistant.	5 Chegados a Salamina, pregavam a palavra de Deus nas sinagogas dos judeus. Tinham com eles João para auxiliá-los.
6 When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.	6 Percorreram toda a ilha até Pafos e acharam um judeu chamado Barjesus, mago e falso profeta,
7 He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.	7 que vivia na companhia do procônsul Sérgio Paulo, homem sensato. Este chamou Barnabé e Saulo, e exprimiu-lhes o desejo de ouvir a palavra de Deus.
8 But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith.	8 Mas Élimas, o Mago - pois assim é interpretado o seu nome -, se lhes opunha, procurando desviar da fé o procônsul.
9 But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the holy Spirit, looked intently at him	9 Então Saulo, chamado também Paulo, cheio do Espírito Santo, cravou nele os olhos e disse-lhe:
10 and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of (the) Lord?	10 Filho do demônio, cheio de todo engano e de toda astúcia, inimigo de toda justiça, não cessas de perverter os caminhos retos do Senhor!
11 Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.	11 Eis que agora está sobre ti a mão do Senhor e ficarás cego. Não verás o sol até nova ordem! Caíram logo sobre ele a escuridão e as trevas, e, andando à roda, buscava quem lhe desse a mão.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.	12 À vista deste prodígio, o procônsul abraçou a fé, admirando vivamente a doutrina do Senhor.
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.	13 Paulo e os seus companheiros navegaram de Pafos e chegaram a Perge, na Panfília, de onde João, apartando-se deles, voltou para Jerusalém.
14 They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.	14 Mas eles, deixando Perge, foram para Antioquia da Pisídia. Ali entraram em dia de sábado na sinagoga, e sentaram-se.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."	15 Depois da leitura da lei e dos profetas, mandaram-lhes dizer os chefes da sinagoga: Irmãos, se tendes alguma palavra de exortação ao povo, falai-a.
16 So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.	16 Paulo levantou-se, fez um sinal com a mão e falou: Homens de Israel e vós que temeis a Deus, ouvi.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it	17 O Deus do povo de Israel escolheu nossos pais e exaltou este povo no tempo em que habitava na terra do Egito, de onde os tirou com o poder de seu braço.
18 and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.	18 Por espaço de quarenta anos alimentou-os no deserto.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance	19 Destruiu sete nações na terra de Canaã e distribuiu-lhes por sorte aquela terra durante quase quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos.
20 at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.	20 Em seguida, lhes deu juízes até o profeta Samuel.
21 Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.	21 Pediram então um rei, e Deus lhes deu, por quarenta anos, Saul, filho de Cis, da tribo de Benjamim.
22 Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'	22 Depois, Deus o rejeitou e mandou-lhes Davi como rei, de quem deu este testemunho: Achei Davi, filho de Jessé, homem segundo o meu coração, que fará todas as minhas vontades.
23 From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.	23 De sua descendência, conforme a promessa, Deus fez sair para Israel o Salvador Jesus.
24 John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;	24 João tinha pregado, desde antes da sua vinda, o batismo do arrependimento a todo o povo de Israel.
25 and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'	25 Terminando a sua carreira, dizia: Eu não sou aquele que vós pensais, mas após mim virá aquele de quem não sou digno de desatar o calçado.
26 "My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent.	26 Irmãos, filhos de Abraão, e os que entre vós temem a Deus: a nós é que foi dirigida a mensagem de salvação.
27 The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read sabbath after sabbath.	27 Com efeito, os habitantes de Jerusalém e os seus magistrados não conheceram Jesus, e, sentenciando-o, cumpriram os oráculos dos profetas, que cada sábado são lidos.
28 For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,	28 Embora não achassem nele culpa alguma de morte, pediram a Pilatos que lhe tirasse a vida.
29 and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.	29 Depois de realizarem todas as coisas que dele estavam escritas, tirando-o do madeiro, puseram-no num sepulcro.
30 But God raised him from the dead,	30 Mas Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos.
31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people.	31 Durante muitos dias apareceu àqueles que com ele subiram da Galiléia a Jerusalém, os quais até agora são testemunhas dele junto ao povo.
32 We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors	32 Nós vos anunciamos: a promessa feita a nossos pais,
33 he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'	33 Deus a tem cumprido diante de nós, seus filhos, suscitando Jesus, como também está escrito no Salmo segundo: Tu és meu Filho, eu hoje te gerei {Sl 2,7}.
34 And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, 'I shall give you the benefits assured to David.'	34 Que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, para nunca mais tornar à corrupção, ele o declarou desta maneira: Eu vos darei as coisas sagradas prometidas a Davi {Is 55,3}.
35 That is why he also says in another psalm, 'You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.'	35 E diz também noutra passagem: Não permitirás que teu Santo experimente a corrupção {Sl 15,10}.
36 Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption.	36 Ora, Davi, depois de ter servido em vida aos desígnios de Deus, morreu. Foi reunido a seus pais e experimentou a corrupção.
37 But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption.	37 Mas aquele a quem Deus ressuscitou não experimentou a corrupção.
38 You must know, my brothers, that through him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, (and) in regard to everything from which you could not be justified under the law of Moses,	38 Sabei, pois, irmãos, que por ele se vos anuncia a remissão dos pecados.
39 in him every believer is justified.	39 Todo aquele que crê é justificado por ele de tudo aquilo que não pôde ser pela Lei de Moisés.
40 Be careful, then, that what was said in the prophets not come about:	40 Cuidai, pois, que não venha sobre vós o que foi dito pelos profetas:
41 'Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.'"	41 Vede, ó desprezadores, pasmai e morrei de espanto. Pois eu vou realizar uma obra em vossos dias, obra a que não creríeis, se alguém vo-la contasse {Hab 1,5}.
42 As they were leaving, they invited them to speak on these subjects the following sabbath.	42 Ao saírem, rogavam que lhes repetissem essas palavras no sábado seguinte.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.	43 Depois que a assembléia terminou, muitos judeus e prosélitos devotos seguiram Paulo e Barnabé, os quais com muitas palavras os exortavam a perseverar na graça de Deus.
44 On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.	44 No sábado seguinte, afluiu quase toda a cidade para ouvir a palavra de Deus.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.	45 Os judeus, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja e puseram-se a protestar com injúrias contra o que Paulo falava.
46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.	46 Então Paulo e Barnabé disseram-lhes resolutamente: Era a vós que em primeiro lugar se devia anunciar a palavra de Deus. Mas, porque a rejeitais e vos julgais indignos da vida eterna, eis que nos voltamos para os pagãos.
47 For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"	47 Porque o Senhor assim no-lo mandou: Eu te estabeleci para seres luz das nações, e levares a salvação até os confins da terra {Is 49,6}.
48 The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,	48 Estas palavras encheram de alegria os pagãos que glorificavam a palavra do Senhor. Todos os que estavam predispostos para a vida eterna fizeram ato de fé.
49 and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.	49 Divulgava-se, assim, a palavra do Senhor por toda a região.
50 The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.	50 Mas os judeus instigaram certas mulheres religiosas da aristocracia e os principais da cidade, que excitaram uma perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé e os expulsaram do seu território.
51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.	51 Estes sacudiram contra eles o pó dos seus pés, e foram a Icônio.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.	52 Os discípulos, por sua vez, estavam cheios de alegria e do Espírito Santo.
