Atos dos Apóstolos 4

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Enquanto eles falavam ao povo, vieram os sacerdotes, o chefe do templo e os saduceus,	1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 contrariados porque ensinavam ao povo e anunciavam, na pessoa de Jesus, a ressurreição dos mortos.	2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:
3 Prenderam-nos e os meteram no cárcere até o outro dia, pois já era tarde.	3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in hold till the next day; for it was now evening.
4 Muitos, porém, dos que tinham ouvido a pregação creram; e o número dos fiéis elevou-se a mais ou menos cinco mil.	4 But many of them who had heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was made five thousand.
5 No dia seguinte reuniram-se em Jerusalém os chefes do povo, os anciãos, os escribas,	5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem;
6 com Anás, sumo sacerdote, Caifás, João, Alexandre e todos os que eram da linhagem pontifical.	6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
7 Colocando-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder ou em que nome fizestes isso?	7 And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
8 Então Pedro, cheio do Espírito Santo, respondeu-lhes: Chefes do povo e anciãos, ouvi-me:	8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
9 se hoje somos interrogados a respeito do benefício feito a um enfermo, e em que nome foi ele curado,	9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
10 ficai sabendo todos vós e todo o povo de Israel: foi em nome de Jesus Cristo Nazareno, que vós crucificastes, mas que Deus ressuscitou dos mortos. Por ele é que esse homem se acha são, em pé, diante de vós.	10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
11 Esse Jesus, pedra que foi desprezada por vós, edificadores, tornou-se a pedra angular.	11 This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Em nenhum outro há salvação, porque debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome foi dado aos homens, pelo qual devamos ser salvos.	12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Vendo eles a coragem de Pedro e de João, e considerando que eram homens sem estudo e sem instrução, admiravam-se. Reconheciam-nos como companheiros de Jesus.	13 Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.
14 Mas vendo com eles o homem que tinha sido curado, não puderam replicar.	14 Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Mandaram que se retirassem da sala do conselho, e conferenciaram entre si:	15 But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves,
16 Que faremos destes homens? Porquanto o milagre por eles feito se tornou conhecido de todos os habitantes de Jerusalém, e não o podemos negar.	16 Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
17 Todavia, para que esta notícia não se divulgue mais entre o povo, proibamos com ameaças, que no futuro falem a alguém nesse nome.	17 But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.
18 Chamaram-nos e ordenaram-lhes que absolutamente não falassem nem ensinassem em nome de Jesus.	18 And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Responderam-lhes Pedro e João: Julgai-o vós mesmos se é justo diante de Deus obedecermos a vós mais do que a Deus.	19 But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.
20 Não podemos deixar de falar das coisas que temos visto e ouvido.	20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 Eles então, ameaçando-os de novo, soltaram-nos, não achando pretexto para os castigar por causa do povo, porque todos glorificavam a Deus pelo que tinha acontecido.	21 But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.
22 Pois já passava dos 40 anos o homem em quem se realizara essa cura milagrosa.	22 For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.
23 Postos em liberdade, voltaram aos seus irmãos e referiram tudo quanto lhes tinham dito os sumos sacerdotes e os anciãos.	23 And being let go, they came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.
24 Ao ouvirem isso, levantaram unânimes a voz a Deus e disseram: Senhor, vós que fizestes o céu, a terra, o mar e tudo o que neles há.	24 Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God, and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
25 Vós que, pelo Espírito Santo, pela boca de nosso pai Davi, vosso servo, dissestes: Por que se agitam as nações, e imaginam os povos coisas vãs?	25 Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vain things?
26 Levantam-se os reis da terra, e os príncipes se reúnem em conselho contra o Senhor e contra o seu Cristo {Sl 2,1s.}.	26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.
27 Pois na verdade se uniram nesta cidade contra o vosso santo servo Jesus, que ungistes, Herodes e Pôncio Pilatos com as nações e com o povo de Israel,	27 For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,
28 para executarem o que a vossa mão e o vosso conselho predeterminaram que se fizesse.	28 To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.
29 Agora, pois, Senhor, olhai para as suas ameaças e concedei aos vossos servos que com todo o desassombro anunciem a vossa palavra.	29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word,
30 Estendei a vossa mão para que se realizem curas, milagres e prodígios pelo nome de Jesus, vosso santo servo!	30 By stretching forth thy hand to cures, and signs, and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
31 Mal acabavam de rezar, tremeu o lugar onde estavam reunidos. E todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e anunciaram com intrepidez a palavra de Deus.	31 And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence.
32 A multidão dos fiéis era um só coração e uma só alma. Ninguém dizia que eram suas as coisas que possuía, mas tudo entre eles era comum.	32 And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them.
33 Com grande coragem os apóstolos davam testemunho da ressurreição do Senhor Jesus. Em todos eles era grande a graça.	33 And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.
34 Nem havia entre eles nenhum necessitado, porque todos os que possuíam terras e casas vendiam-nas,	34 For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35 e traziam o preço do que tinham vendido e depositavam-no aos pés dos apóstolos. Repartia-se então a cada um deles conforme a sua necessidade.	35 And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
36 Assim José {a quem os apóstolos deram o sobrenome de Barnabé que quer dizer Filho da Consolação}, levita natural de Chipre, possuía um campo.	36 And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian born,
37 Vendeu-o e trouxe o valor dele e depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.	37 Having land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
