SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of 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 Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them.”
3 Então, jejuando e orando, impuseram-lhes as mãos e os despediram.	3 Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away.
4 Enviados assim pelo Espírito Santo, foram a Selêucia e dali navegaram para a ilha de Chipre.	4 And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there 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 had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry.
6 Percorreram toda a ilha até Pafos e acharam um judeu chamado Barjesus, mago e falso profeta,	6 And when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu.
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 And he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, wanted 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 magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the Faith.
9 Então Saulo, chamado também Paulo, cheio do Espírito Santo, cravou nele os olhos e disse-lhe:	9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at 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 he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous 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 you. And you will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might lead him by the hand.
12 À vista deste prodígio, o procônsul abraçou a fé, admirando vivamente a doutrina do Senhor.	12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over 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 And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed from them and 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 Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they 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 Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to the people, speak.”
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, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely.
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 the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there.
18 Por espaço de quarenta anos alimentou-os no deserto.	18 And throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert.
19 Destruiu sete nações na terra de Canaã e distribuiu-lhes por sorte aquela terra durante quase quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos.	19 And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land among them by lot,
20 Em seguida, lhes deu juízes até o profeta Samuel.	20 after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel.
21 Pediram então um rei, e Deus lhes deu, por quarenta anos, Saul, filho de Cis, da tribo de Benjamim.	21 And later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for 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 having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.’
23 De sua descendência, conforme a promessa, Deus fez sair para Israel o Salvador Jesus.	23 From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel.
24 João tinha pregado, desde antes da sua vinda, o batismo do arrependimento a todo o povo de Israel.	24 John was preaching, before the face of his advent, a 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 Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’
26 Irmãos, filhos de Abraão, e os que entre vós temem a Deus: a nós é que foi dirigida a mensagem de salvação.	26 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been 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 those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.
28 Embora não achassem nele culpa alguma de morte, pediram a Pilatos que lhe tirasse a vida.	28 And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.
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 everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.
30 Mas Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos.	30 Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
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 for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.
32 Nós vos anunciamos: a promessa feita a nossos pais,	32 And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our 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 has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’
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 Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’
35 E diz também noutra passagem: Não permitirás que teu Santo experimente a corrupção {Sl 15,10}.	35 And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your 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, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption.
37 Mas aquele a quem Deus ressuscitou não experimentou a corrupção.	37 Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.
38 Sabei, pois, irmãos, que por ele se vos anuncia a remissão dos pecados.	38 Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
39 Todo aquele que crê é justificado por ele de tudo aquilo que não pôde ser pela Lei de Moisés.	39 In him, all who believe are justified.
40 Cuidai, pois, que não venha sobre vós o que foi dito pelos profetas:	40 Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm 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}.	41 ‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.’ ”
42 Ao saírem, rogavam que lhes repetissem essas palavras no sábado seguinte.	42 Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.
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 And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, 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 Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came 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 Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
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 said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, 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 has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to 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 Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
49 Divulgava-se, assim, a palavra do Senhor por toda a região.	49 Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire 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 incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
51 Estes sacudiram contra eles o pó dos seus pés, e foram a Icônio.	51 But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
52 Os discípulos, por sua vez, estavam cheios de alegria e do Espírito Santo.	52 The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.
