Atos dos Apóstolos 14

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Em Icônio, Paulo e Barnabé, segundo seu costume, entraram na sinagoga dos judeus e ali pregaram, de tal modo que uma grande multidão de judeus e de gregos se converteu à fé.	1 Now it happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke in such a way that a copious multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Mas os judeus, que tinham permanecido incrédulos, excitaram os ânimos dos pagãos contra os irmãos.	2 Yet truly, the Jews who were unbelieving had incited and enflamed the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Não obstante, eles se demoraram ali por muito tempo, falando com desassombro e confiança no Senhor, que dava testemunho à palavra da sua graça pelos milagres e prodígios que ele operava por mãos dos apóstolos.	3 And so, they remained for a long time, acting faithfully in the Lord, offering testimony to the Word of his grace, providing signs and wonders done by their hands.
4 A população da cidade achava-se dividida: uns eram pelos judeus, outros pelos apóstolos.	4 Then the multitude of the city was divided. And certainly, some were with the Jews, yet truly others were with the Apostles.
5 Mas como se tivesse levantado um motim dos gentios e dos judeus, com os seus chefes, para os ultrajar e apedrejar,	5 Now when an assault had been planned by the Gentiles and the Jews with their leaders, so that they might treat them with contempt and stone them,
6 ao saberem disso, fugiram para as cidades da Licaônia, Listra e Derbe e suas circunvizinhanças.	6 they, realizing this, fled together to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the entire surrounding region. And they were evangelizing in that place.
7 Ali pregaram o Evangelho.	7 And a certain man was sitting at Lystra, disabled in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
8 Em Listra vivia um homem aleijado das pernas, coxo de nascença, que nunca tinha andado.	8 This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed,
9 Sentado, ele ouvia Paulo pregar. Este, fixando nele os olhos e vendo que tinha fé para ser curado,	9 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright upon your feet!” And he leaped up and walked around.
10 disse em alta voz: Levanta-te direito sobre os teus pés! Ele deu um salto e pôs-se a andar.	10 But when the crowds had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods, having taken the likenesses of men, have descended to us!”
11 Vendo a multidão o que Paulo fizera, levantou a voz, gritando em língua licaônica: Deuses em figura de homens baixaram a nós!	11 And they called Barnabas, ‘Jupiter,’ yet truly they called Paul, ‘Mercury,’ because he was the lead speaker.
12 Chamavam a Barnabé Zeus e a Paulo Hermes, porque era este quem dirigia a palavra.	12 Also, the priest of Jupiter, who was outside the city, in front of the gate, bringing in oxen and garlands, was willing to offer sacrifice with the people.
13 Um sacerdote de Zeus Propóleos trouxe para as portas touros ornados de grinaldas, querendo, de acordo com todo o povo, sacrificar-lhos.	13 And as soon as the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, had heard this, tearing their tunics, they leapt into the crowd, crying out
14 Mas os apóstolos Barnabé e Paulo, ao perceberem isso, rasgaram as suas vestes e saltaram no meio da multidão:	14 and saying: “Men, why would you do this? We also are mortals, men like yourselves, preaching to you to be converted, from these vain things, to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them.
15 Homens, clamavam eles, por que fazeis isso? Também nós somos homens, da mesma condição que vós, e pregamos justamente para que vos convertais das coisas vãs ao Deus vivo, que fez o céu, a terra, o mar e tudo quanto neles há.	15 In previous generations, he permitted all nations to walk in their own ways.
16 Ele permitiu nos tempos passados que todas as nações seguissem os seus caminhos.	16 But certainly, he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness.”
17 Contudo, nunca deixou de dar testemunho de si mesmo, por seus benefícios: dando-vos do céu as chuvas e os tempos férteis, concedendo abundante alimento e enchendo os vossos corações de alegria.	17 And by saying these things, they were barely able to restrain the crowds from immolating to them.
18 Apesar dessas palavras, não foi sem dificuldade que contiveram a multidão de sacrificar a eles.	18 Now certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived there. And having persuaded the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking him to be dead.
19 Sobrevieram, porém, alguns judeus de Antioquia e de Icônio que persuadiram a multidão. Apedrejaram Paulo e, dando-o por morto, arrastaram-no para fora da cidade.	19 But as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. And the next day, he set out with Barnabas for Derbe.
20 Os discípulos o rodearam. Ele se levantou e entrou na cidade. No dia seguinte, partiu com Barnabé para Derbe.	20 And when they had evangelized that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
21 Depois de ter pregado o Evangelho à cidade de Derbe, onde ganharam muitos discípulos, voltaram para Listra, Icônio e Antioquia {da Pisídia}.	21 strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them that they should remain always in the faith, and that it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.
22 Confirmavam as almas dos discípulos e exortavam-nos a perseverar na fé, dizendo que é necessário entrarmos no Reino de Deus por meio de muitas tribulações.	22 And when they had established priests for them in each church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
23 Em cada igreja instituíram anciãos e, após orações com jejuns, encomendaram-nos ao Senhor, em quem tinham confiado.	23 And traveling by way of Pisidia, they arrived in Pamphylia.
24 Atravessaram a Pisídia e chegaram a Panfília.	24 And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perga, they went down into Attalia.
25 Depois de ter anunciado a palavra do Senhor em Perge, desceram a Atália.	25 And from there, they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had now accomplished.
26 Dali navegaram para Antioquia {da Síria}, de onde tinham partido, encomendados à graça de Deus para a obra que estavam a completar.	26 And when they had arrived and had gathered together the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
27 Ali chegados, reuniram a igreja e contaram quão grandes coisas Deus fizera com eles, e como abrira a porta da fé aos gentios.	27 And they remained for no small amount of time with the disciples.
28 Demoraram-se com os discípulos longo tempo.
