Atos dos Apóstolos 13

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
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.	1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
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.	2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Então, jejuando e orando, impuseram-lhes as mãos e os despediram.	3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Enviados assim pelo Espírito Santo, foram a Selêucia e dali navegaram para a ilha de Chipre.	4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Chegados a Salamina, pregavam a palavra de Deus nas sinagogas dos judeus. Tinham com eles João para auxiliá-los.	5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 Percorreram toda a ilha até Pafos e acharam um judeu chamado Barjesus, mago e falso profeta,	6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
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.	7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 Mas Élimas, o Mago - pois assim é interpretado o seu nome -, se lhes opunha, procurando desviar da fé o procônsul.	8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Então Saulo, chamado também Paulo, cheio do Espírito Santo, cravou nele os olhos e disse-lhe:	9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
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!	10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
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.	11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 À vista deste prodígio, o procônsul abraçou a fé, admirando vivamente a doutrina do Senhor.	12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Paulo e os seus companheiros navegaram de Pafos e chegaram a Perge, na Panfília, de onde João, apartando-se deles, voltou para Jerusalém.	13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 Mas eles, deixando Perge, foram para Antioquia da Pisídia. Ali entraram em dia de sábado na sinagoga, e sentaram-se.	14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
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.	15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Paulo levantou-se, fez um sinal com a mão e falou: Homens de Israel e vós que temeis a Deus, ouvi.	16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
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.	17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 Por espaço de quarenta anos alimentou-os no deserto.	18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 Destruiu sete nações na terra de Canaã e distribuiu-lhes por sorte aquela terra durante quase quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos.	19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 Em seguida, lhes deu juízes até o profeta Samuel.	20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Pediram então um rei, e Deus lhes deu, por quarenta anos, Saul, filho de Cis, da tribo de Benjamim.	21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
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.	22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 De sua descendência, conforme a promessa, Deus fez sair para Israel o Salvador Jesus.	23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 João tinha pregado, desde antes da sua vinda, o batismo do arrependimento a todo o povo de Israel.	24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
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.	25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Irmãos, filhos de Abraão, e os que entre vós temem a Deus: a nós é que foi dirigida a mensagem de salvação.	26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
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.	27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Embora não achassem nele culpa alguma de morte, pediram a Pilatos que lhe tirasse a vida.	28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Depois de realizarem todas as coisas que dele estavam escritas, tirando-o do madeiro, puseram-no num sepulcro.	29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 Mas Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos.	30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 Durante muitos dias apareceu àqueles que com ele subiram da Galiléia a Jerusalém, os quais até agora são testemunhas dele junto ao povo.	31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 Nós vos anunciamos: a promessa feita a nossos pais,	32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
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}.	33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
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}.	34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 E diz também noutra passagem: Não permitirás que teu Santo experimente a corrupção {Sl 15,10}.	35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to 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.	36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Mas aquele a quem Deus ressuscitou não experimentou a corrupção.	37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Sabei, pois, irmãos, que por ele se vos anuncia a remissão dos pecados.	38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 Todo aquele que crê é justificado por ele de tudo aquilo que não pôde ser pela Lei de Moisés.	39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Cuidai, pois, que não venha sobre vós o que foi dito pelos profetas:	40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
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}.	41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 Ao saírem, rogavam que lhes repetissem essas palavras no sábado seguinte.	42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
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.	43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 No sábado seguinte, afluiu quase toda a cidade para ouvir a palavra de Deus.	44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 Os judeus, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja e puseram-se a protestar com injúrias contra o que Paulo falava.	45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
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.	46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
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}.	47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
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.	48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 Divulgava-se, assim, a palavra do Senhor por toda a região.	49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
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.	50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 Estes sacudiram contra eles o pó dos seus pés, e foram a Icônio.	51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 Os discípulos, por sua vez, estavam cheios de alegria e do Espírito Santo.	52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
