Atos dos Apóstolos 21

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Depois de nos separarmos dele, embarcamos e fomos em direção a Cós, e no dia seguinte a Rodes e dali a Pátara.	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.
2 Encontramos aí um navio que ia partir para a Fenícia. Entramos e seguimos viagem.	2 And when we had found a ship sailing across to Phoenicia, climbing aboard, we set sail.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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.	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.
6 Despedimo-nos então e embarcamos, enquanto eles voltaram para suas casas.	6 And when we had said farewell to one another, we climbed aboard the ship. And they returned to their own.
7 Navegando, fomos de Tiro a Ptolemaida, onde saudamos os irmãos, passando um dia com eles.	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.
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.	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.
9 Tinha quatro filhas virgens que profetizavam.	9 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, who were prophesying.
10 Já estávamos aí fazia alguns dias, quando chegou da Judéia um profeta, chamado Ágabo.	10 And while we were delayed for some days, a certain prophet from Judea, named Agabus, arrived.
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.	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.”
12 A estas palavras, nós e os fiéis que eram daquele lugar, rogamos-lhe que não subisse a Jerusalém.	12 And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
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.	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.”
14 Como não pudéssemos persuadi-lo, desistimos, dizendo: Faça-se a vontade do Senhor!	14 And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: “May the will of the Lord be done.”
15 Depois desses dias, terminados os preparativos, subimos a Jerusalém.	15 Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem.
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.	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.
17 À nossa chegada em Jerusalém, os irmãos nos receberam com alegria.	17 And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly.
18 No dia seguinte, Paulo dirigiu-se conosco à casa de Tiago, onde todos os anciãos se reuniram.	18 Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled.
19 Tendo-os saudado, contou-lhes uma por uma todas as coisas que Deus fizera entre os pagãos por seu ministério.	19 And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
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.	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.
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}.	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.
22 Que se há de fazer? Sem dúvida, saberão de tua chegada.	22 What is next? The multitude ought to be convened. For they will hear that you have arrived.
23 Faze, pois, o que te vamos dizer. Temos aqui quatro homens que têm um voto.	23 Therefore, do this thing that we ask of you: We have four men, who are under a vow.
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.	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.
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.	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.”
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.	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.
27 Ao fim dos sete dias, os judeus, vindos da Ásia, viram Paulo no templo e amotinaram todo o povo. Lançando-lhe as mãos,	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:
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.	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.”
29 É que tinham visto Trófimo, de Éfeso, com ele na cidade, e pensavam que Paulo o tivesse introduzido no templo.	29 (For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
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.	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.
31 Como quisessem matá-lo, o tribuno da coorte foi avisado de que toda Jerusalém estava amotinada.	31 Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”
32 Ele tomou logo soldados e oficiais e correu aos manifestantes. Estes, ao avistarem o tribuno e os saldados, cessaram de espancar Paulo.	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.
33 Aproximando-se então o tribuno, prendeu-o e mandou acorrentá-lo com duas cadeias. Perguntou então quem era e o que havia feito.	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.
34 Na multidão todos gritavam de tal modo que, não podendo apurar a verdade por causa do tumulto, mandou que fosse recolhido à cidadela.	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.
35 Quando Paulo chegou às escadas, foi carregado pelos soldados, por causa do furor da multidão.	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.
36 O povo o seguia em massa dizendo aos gritos: À morte	36 For the multitude of the people were following and crying out, “Take him away!”
37 Quando estava para ser introduzido na fortaleza, Paulo perguntou ao tribuno: É-me permitido dizer duas palavras? Este respondeu: Sabes o grego!	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?
38 Não és tu, portanto, aquele egípcio que há tempos levantou um tumulto e conduziu ao deserto quatro mil extremistas?	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?”
39 Paulo replicou: Eu sou judeu, natural de Tarso, na Cilícia, cidadão dessa ilustre cidade. Mas rogo-te que me permitas falar ao povo.	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.”
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:	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:
