Atos dos Apóstolos 20

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Depois que cessou o tumulto, Paulo convocou os discípulos. Fez-lhes uma exortação, despediu-se e pôs-se a caminho para ir à Macedônia.	1 Then, after the tumult ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to himself and exhorting them, said farewell. And he set out, so that he might go into Macedonia.
2 Percorreu aquela região, exortou os discípulos com muitas palavras e chegou à Grécia,	2 And when he had walked through those areas and had exhorted them with many sermons, he went into Greece.
3 onde se deteve por três meses. Como os judeus lhe armassem ciladas no momento em que ia embarcar para a Síria, tomou a resolução de voltar pela Macedônia.	3 After he had spent three months there, treacheries were planned against him by the Jews, just as he was about to sail into Syria. And having been advised of this, he return through Macedonia.
4 Acompanharam-no Sópatro de Beréia, filho de Pirro, e os tessalonicenses Aristarco e Segundo, Gaio de Derbe, Timóteo, Tíquico e Trófimo, da Ásia.	4 Now those accompanying him were Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus from Beroea; and also the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia.
5 Estes foram na frente e esperaram-nos em Trôade.	5 These, after they had gone ahead, waited for us at Troas.
6 Nós outros, só depois da festa de Páscoa é que navegamos de Filipos. E, cinco dias depois, fomos ter com eles em Trôade, onde ficamos uma semana.	6 Yet truly, we sailed from Philippi, after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we went to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
7 No primeiro dia da semana, estando nós reunidos para partir o pão, Paulo, que havia de viajar no dia seguinte, conversava com os discípulos e prolongou a palestra até a meia-noite.	7 Then, on the first Sabbath, when we had assembled together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to set out the next day. But he prolonged his sermon into the middle of the night.
8 Havia muitas lâmpadas no quarto, onde nos achávamos reunidos.	8 Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.
9 Acontece que um moço, chamado Êutico, que estava sentado numa janela, foi tomado de profundo sono, enquanto Paulo ia prolongando seu discurso. Vencido pelo sono, caiu do terceiro andar abaixo, e foi levantado morto.	9 And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.
10 Paulo desceu, debruçou-se sobre ele, tomou-o nos braços e disse: Não vos perturbeis, porque a sua alma está nele.	10 When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”
11 Então subiu, partiu o pão, comeu falou-lhes largamente até o romper do dia. Depois partiu.	11 And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.
12 Quanto ao moço, levaram-no dali vivo, cheios de consolação.	12 Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.
13 Nós nos tínhamos adiantado e navegado para Assos, para ali recebermos Paulo. Ele mesmo assim o havia disposto, preferindo fazer a viagem a pé.	13 Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.
14 Reuniu-se a nós em Assos, e nós o tomamos a bordo e fomos a Mitilene.	14 And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.
15 Continuando dali, sempre por mar, chegamos no dia seguinte defronte de Quios. No outro dia, chegamos a Samos, e um dia depois estávamos em Mileto.	15 And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.
16 Paulo havia determinado não ir a Éfeso, para não se demorar na Ásia, pois se apressava para celebrar, se possível em Jerusalém, o dia de Pentecostes.	16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
17 Mas de Mileto mandou a Éfeso chamar os anciãos da igreja.	17 Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.
18 Quando chegaram, e estando todos reunidos, disse-lhes: Vós sabeis de que modo sempre me tenho comportado para convosco, desde o primeiro dia em que entrei na Ásia.	18 And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: “You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:
19 Servi ao Senhor com toda a humildade, com lágrimas e no meio das provações que me sobrevieram pelas ciladas dos judeus.	19 serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,
20 Vós sabeis como não tenho negligenciado, como não tenho ocultado coisa alguma que vos podia ser útil. Preguei e vos instruí publicamente e dentro de vossas casas.	20 how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,
21 Preguei aos judeus e aos gentios a conversão a Deus e a fé em nosso Senhor Jesus.	21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Agora, constrangido pelo Espírito, vou a Jerusalém, ignorando a que ali me espera.	22 And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 Só sei que, de cidade em cidade, o Espírito Santo me assegura que me esperam em Jerusalém cadeias e perseguições.	23 except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.
24 Mas nada disso temo, nem faço caso da minha vida, contanto que termine a minha carreira e o ministério da palavra que recebi do Senhor Jesus, para dar testemunho ao Evangelho da graça de Deus.	24 But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.
25 Sei agora que não tornareis a ver a minha face, todos vós, por entre os quais andei pregando o Reino de Deus.	25 And now, behold, I know that you will no longer see my face, all of you among whom I have traveled, preaching the kingdom of God.
26 Portanto, hoje eu protesto diante de vós que sou inocente do sangue de todos,	26 For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.
27 porque nada omiti no anúncio que vos fiz dos desígnios de Deus.	27 For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.
28 Cuidai de vós mesmos e de todo o rebanho sobre o qual o Espírito Santo vos constituiu bispos, para pastorear a Igreja de Deus, que ele adquiriu com o seu próprio sangue.	28 Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.
29 Sei que depois da minha partida se introduzirão entre vós lobos cruéis, que não pouparão o rebanho.	29 I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Mesmo dentre vós surgirão homens que hão de proferir doutrinas perversas, com o intento de arrebatarem após si os discípulos.	30 And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
31 Vigiai! Lembrai-vos, portanto, de que por três anos não cessei, noite e dia, de admoestar, com lágrimas, a cada um de vós.	31 Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you.
32 Agora eu vos encomendo a Deus e à palavra da sua graça, àquele que é poderoso para edificar e dar a herança com os santificados.	32 And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.
33 De ninguém cobicei prata, nem ouro, nem vestes.	33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,
34 Vós mesmos sabeis: estas mãos proveram às minhas necessidades e às dos meus companheiros.	34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.
35 Em tudo vos tenho mostrado que assim, trabalhando, convém acudir os fracos e lembrar-se das palavras do Senhor Jesus, porquanto ele mesmo disse: É maior felicidade dar que receber!	35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 A essas palavras, ele se pôs de joelhos a orar.	36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them.
37 Derramaram-se em lágrimas e lançaram-se ao pescoço de Paulo para abraçá-lo,	37 Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38 aflitos, sobretudo pela palavra que tinha dito: Já não vereis a minha face. Em seguida, acompanharam-no até o navio.	38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.
