Acts of the Apostles 21

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And after these things had happened, having reluctantly parted from them, we sailed a direct course, arriving at Cos, and on following the day at Rhodes, and from there to Patara.	1 Depois de nos separarmos dele, embarcamos e fomos em direção a Cós, e no dia seguinte a Rodes e dali a Pátara.
2 And when we had found a ship sailing across to Phoenicia, climbing aboard, we set sail.	2 Encontramos aí um navio que ia partir para a Fenícia. Entramos e seguimos viagem.
3 Then, after we had caught sight of Cyprus, keeping it to the left, we sailed on to Syria, and we arrived at Tyre. For the ship was going to unload its cargo there.	3 Quando estávamos à vista de Chipre, deixando-a à esquerda, continuamos rumo à Síria e aportamos em Tiro, onde o navio devia ser descarregado.
4 Then, having found the disciples, we lodged there for seven days. And they were saying to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.	4 Como achássemos uns discípulos, detivemo-nos com eles por sete dias. Eles, sob a inspiração do Espírito, aconselhavam Paulo que não subisse a Jerusalém.
5 And when the days were completed, setting out, we went on; and they all accompanied us with their wives and children, until we were outside of the city. And we kneeled down at the shore and prayed.	5 Mas, passados que foram esses dias, partimos e seguimos a nossa viagem. Todos eles com suas mulheres e filhos acompanharam-nos até fora da cidade. Ajoelhados na praia, fizemos a nossa oração.
6 And when we had said farewell to one another, we climbed aboard the ship. And they returned to their own.	6 Despedimo-nos então e embarcamos, enquanto eles voltaram para suas casas.
7 Yet truly, having completed our journey by boat from Tyre, we descended to Ptolemais. And greeting the brothers, we lodged with them for one day.	7 Navegando, fomos de Tiro a Ptolemaida, onde saudamos os irmãos, passando um dia com eles.
8 Then, after setting out the next day, we arrived at Caesarea. And upon entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.	8 Partindo no dia seguinte, chegamos a Cesaréia e, entrando na casa de Filipe, o Evangelista, que era um dos sete {diáconos}, ficamos com ele.
9 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, who were prophesying.	9 Tinha quatro filhas virgens que profetizavam.
10 And while we were delayed for some days, a certain prophet from Judea, named Agabus, arrived.	10 Já estávamos aí fazia alguns dias, quando chegou da Judéia um profeta, chamado Ágabo.
11 And he, when he had come to us, took Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands, he said: “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way at Jerusalem. And they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”	11 Veio ter conosco, tomou o cinto de Paulo e, amarrando-se com ele pés e mãos, disse: Isto diz o Espírito Santo: assim os judeus em Jerusalém ligarão o homem a quem pertence este cinto e o entregarão às mãos dos pagãos.
12 And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.	12 A estas palavras, nós e os fiéis que eram daquele lugar, rogamos-lhe que não subisse a Jerusalém.
13 Then Paul responded by saying: “What do you accomplish by weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”	13 Paulo, porém, respondeu: Por que chorais e me magoais o coração? Pois eu estou pronto não só a ser preso, mas também a morrer em Jerusalém pelo nome do Senhor Jesus.
14 And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: “May the will of the Lord be done.”	14 Como não pudéssemos persuadi-lo, desistimos, dizendo: Faça-se a vontade do Senhor!
15 Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem.	15 Depois desses dias, terminados os preparativos, subimos a Jerusalém.
16 Now some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a very old disciple, whose guests we would be.	16 Foram também conosco alguns dos discípulos de Cesaréia, que nos levaram à casa de Menason de Chipre, um antigo discípulo em cuja casa nos devíamos hospedar.
17 And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly.	17 À nossa chegada em Jerusalém, os irmãos nos receberam com alegria.
18 Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled.	18 No dia seguinte, Paulo dirigiu-se conosco à casa de Tiago, onde todos os anciãos se reuniram.
19 And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.	19 Tendo-os saudado, contou-lhes uma por uma todas as coisas que Deus fizera entre os pagãos por seu ministério.
20 And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: “You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.	20 Ouvindo isso, glorificaram a Deus e disseram a Paulo: Bem vês, irmão, quantos milhares de judeus abraçaram a fé sem abandonar seu zelo pela lei.
21 Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.	21 Eles têm ouvido dizer de ti que ensinas os judeus, que vivem entre os gentios, a deixarem Moisés, dizendo que não devem circuncidar os seus filhos nem observar os costumes {mosaicos}.
22 What is next? The multitude ought to be convened. For they will hear that you have arrived.	22 Que se há de fazer? Sem dúvida, saberão de tua chegada.
23 Therefore, do this thing that we ask of you: We have four men, who are under a vow.	23 Faze, pois, o que te vamos dizer. Temos aqui quatro homens que têm um voto.
24 Take these and sanctify yourself with them, and require them to shave their heads. And then everyone will know that the things that they have heard about you are false, but that you yourself walk in keeping with the law.	24 Toma-os contigo, faze com eles os ritos da purificação e paga por eles {a oferta obrigatória} para que rapem a cabeça. Então todos saberão que é falso quanto de ti ouviram, mas que também tu guardas a lei.
25 But, about those Gentiles who have believed, we have written a judgment that they should keep themselves from what has been immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication.”	25 Mas a respeito dos que creram dentre os gentios, já escrevemos, ordenando que se abstenham do que for sacrificado aos ídolos, do sangue, da carne sufocada e da fornicação.
26 Then Paul, taking the men on the next day, was purified with them, and he entered the temple, announcing the process of the days of purification, until an oblation would be offered on behalf of each one of them.	26 Então Paulo acompanhou aqueles homens no dia seguinte e, purificando-se com eles, entrou no templo e fez aí uma declaração do termo do voto, findo o qual se devia oferecer um sacrifício a favor de cada um deles.
27 But when the seven days were reaching completion, those Jews who were from Asia, when they had seen him in the temple, incited all the people, and they laid hands on him, crying out:	27 Ao fim dos sete dias, os judeus, vindos da Ásia, viram Paulo no templo e amotinaram todo o povo. Lançando-lhe as mãos,
28 “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching, everyone, everywhere, against the people and the law and this place. Furthermore, he has even brought Gentiles into the temple, and he has violated this holy place.”	28 gritavam: Ó judeus, valei-nos! Este é o homem que por toda parte prega a todos contra o povo, a lei e o templo. Além disso, introduziu até gregos no templo e profanou o lugar santo.
29 (For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)	29 É que tinham visto Trófimo, de Éfeso, com ele na cidade, e pensavam que Paulo o tivesse introduzido no templo.
30 And the entire city was stirred up. And it happened that the people ran together. And apprehending Paul, they dragged him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were closed.	30 Alvoroçou-se toda a cidade com grande ajuntamento de povo. Agarraram Paulo e arrastaram-no para fora do templo, cujas portas se fecharam imediatamente.
31 Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”	31 Como quisessem matá-lo, o tribuno da coorte foi avisado de que toda Jerusalém estava amotinada.
32 And so, immediately taking soldiers and centurions, he rushed down to them. And when they had seen the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased to strike Paul.	32 Ele tomou logo soldados e oficiais e correu aos manifestantes. Estes, ao avistarem o tribuno e os saldados, cessaram de espancar Paulo.
33 Then the tribune, drawing near, apprehended him and ordered that he be bound with two chains. And he was asking who he was and what he had done.	33 Aproximando-se então o tribuno, prendeu-o e mandou acorrentá-lo com duas cadeias. Perguntou então quem era e o que havia feito.
34 Then they were crying out various things within the crowd. And since he could not understand anything clearly because of the noise, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.	34 Na multidão todos gritavam de tal modo que, não podendo apurar a verdade por causa do tumulto, mandou que fosse recolhido à cidadela.
35 And when he had arrived at the stairs, it happened that he was carried up by the soldiers, because of the threat of violence from the people.	35 Quando Paulo chegou às escadas, foi carregado pelos soldados, por causa do furor da multidão.
36 For the multitude of the people were following and crying out, “Take him away!”	36 O povo o seguia em massa dizendo aos gritos: À morte
37 And as Paul was beginning to be brought into the fortress, he said to the tribune, “Is it permissible for me to say something to you?” And he said, “You know Greek?	37 Quando estava para ser introduzido na fortaleza, Paulo perguntou ao tribuno: É-me permitido dizer duas palavras? Este respondeu: Sabes o grego!
38 So then, are you not that Egyptian who before these days incited a rebellion and led out into the desert four thousand murderous men?”	38 Não és tu, portanto, aquele egípcio que há tempos levantou um tumulto e conduziu ao deserto quatro mil extremistas?
39 But Paul said to him: “I am a man, indeed a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a well-known city. So I petition you, permit me to speak to the people.”	39 Paulo replicou: Eu sou judeu, natural de Tarso, na Cilícia, cidadão dessa ilustre cidade. Mas rogo-te que me permitas falar ao povo.
40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people. And when a great silence occurred, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:	40 O tribuno lho permitiu. Paulo, em pé nos degraus, acenou ao povo com a mão e se fez um grande silêncio. Falou em língua hebraica do seguinte modo:
