Acts of the Apostles 18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblia Maria
1 After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.	1 Depois disso, saindo de Atenas, Paulo dirigiu-se a Corinto.
2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them;	2 Encontrou ali um judeu chamado Áquila, natural do Ponto, e sua mulher Priscila. Eles pouco antes haviam chegado da Itália, por Cláudio ter decretado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma. Paulo uniu-se a eles.
3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.	3 Como exercessem o mesmo ofício, morava e traba­lhava com eles. (Eram fabricantes de tendas.)
4 And he argued in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.	4 Todos os sábados ele falava na sinagoga e procurava convencer os judeus e os gregos.
5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.	5 Quando Silas e Timóteo chegaram da Mace­dônia, Paulo dedicou-se inteiramente à pregação da palavra, dando aos judeus testemunho de que Jesus era o Messias.
6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."	6 Mas como esses contradissessem e o injuriassem, ele, sacudindo as vestes, disse-lhes: “O vosso sangue caia sobre a vossa cabeça! Tenho as mãos inocentes. Desde agora vou para o meio dos gentios”.
7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.	7 Saindo dali, entrou em casa de um prosélito, chamado Tício Justo, cuja casa era contígua à sinagoga.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.	8 Entretanto Crispo, o chefe da sinagoga, acreditou no Senhor com todos os da sua casa. Sabendo disso, muitos dos coríntios, ouvintes de Paulo, acreditaram e foram bati­zados.
9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;	9 Numa noite, o Senhor disse a Paulo, em visão: “Não temas! Fala e não te cales.
10 for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city."	10 Porque eu estou contigo. Ninguém se aproximará de ti para te fazer mal, pois tenho um numeroso povo nesta cidade”.
11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.	11 Paulo deteve-se ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando a eles a Palavra de Deus.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,	12 Sendo Galião procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus de comum acordo contra Paulo e levaram-no ao tribunal e disseram:
13 saying, "This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law."	13 “Este homem persuade os ouvintes a (adotar) um culto contrário à Lei”.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;	14 Paulo ia falar, mas Galião disse aos judeus: “Se fosse, na realidade, uma injustiça ou verdadeiro crime, seria razoável que vos atendesse.
15 but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things."	15 Mas se são questões de doutrina, de nomes e da vossa Lei, isso é lá convosco. Não quero ser juiz dessas coisas”.
16 And he drove them from the tribunal.	16 E mandou-o sair do tribunal.
17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this.	17 Então, todos pegaram em Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancaram diante do tribunal, sem que Galião fizesse caso algum disso.
18 After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.	18 Paulo permaneceu ali (em Corinto) ainda algum tempo. Depois se despediu dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria e com ele Priscila e Áqui­la. Antes, porém, cortara o cabelo em Cêncris, porque terminara um voto.
19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews.	19 Chegaram a Éfeso, onde os deixou. Ele entrou na sinagoga e entretinha-se com os judeus.
20 When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined;	20 Pediram-lhe estes que ficasse com eles ali por mais tempo, mas ele não quis.
21 but on taking leave of them he said, "I will return to you if God wills," and he set sail from Ephesus.	21 Ao despedir-se, disse: “Voltarei a vós, se Deus quiser”. E partiu de Éfeso.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.	22 Viajou até Cesareia, subiu (a Jerusalém) e saudou a comunidade e logo em seguida desceu a Antioquia.
23 After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.	23 Aí se demorou apenas por algum tempo, partiu de novo e atravessou sucessivamente as regiões da Galácia e da Frígia, fortalecendo todos os discípulos.
24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.	24 Entrementes, um judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexan­dria, homem eloquente e muito versado nas Escrituras, chegou a Éfeso.
25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.	25 Era instruído no caminho do Senhor, falava com fervor de espírito e ensinava com precisão a respeito de Jesus, embora conhecesse somente o batismo de João.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.	26 Começou, pois, a falar na sinagoga com desassombro. Como Priscila e Áquila o ouvissem, levaram-no consigo e expuseram-lhe mais profundamente o caminho do Senhor.
27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,	27 Como ele quisesse ir à Acaia, os irmãos animaram-no e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem bem. A sua presença (em Corinto) foi, pela graça de Deus, de muito proveito para os que haviam crido,
28 for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.	28 pois com grande veemência refutava publicamente os judeus, provando, pelas Escrituras, que Jesus era o Messias.
