Atos dos Apóstolos 4

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Enquanto eles falavam ao povo, vieram os sacerdotes, o chefe do templo e os saduceus,	1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
2 contrariados porque ensinavam ao povo e anunciavam, na pessoa de Jesus, a ressurreição dos mortos.	2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing 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 on them, and they placed them under guard until 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 those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
5 No dia seguinte reuniram-se em Jerusalém os chefes do povo, os anciãos, os escribas,	5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 com Anás, sumo sacerdote, Caifás, João, Alexandre e todos os que eram da linhagem pontifical.	6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
7 Colocando-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder ou em que nome fizestes isso?	7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose 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 Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
9 se hoje somos interrogados a respeito do benefício feito a um enfermo, e em que nome foi ele curado,	9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has 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 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
11 Esse Jesus, pedra que foi desprezada por vós, edificadores, tornou-se a pedra angular.	11 He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has 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 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to 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 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Mas vendo com eles o homem que tinha sido curado, não puderam replicar.	14 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
15 Mandaram que se retirassem da sala do conselho, e conferenciaram entre si:	15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from 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 certainly a public sign has been done through them, before 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 lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore 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 in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all 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 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
20 Não podemos deixar de falar das coisas que temos visto e ouvido.	20 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that 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 them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
22 Pois já passava dos 40 anos o homem em quem se realizara essa cura milagrosa.	22 For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
23 Postos em liberdade, voltaram aos seus irmãos e referiram tudo quanto lhes tinham dito os sumos sacerdotes e os anciãos.	23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders 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 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is 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 Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
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 have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against 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 truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
28 para executarem o que a vossa mão e o vosso conselho predeterminaram que se fizesse.	28 to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would 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, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
30 Estendei a vossa mão para que se realizem curas, milagres e prodígios pelo nome de Jesus, vosso santo servo!	30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your 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 in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking 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 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to 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, the Apostles were rendering testimony to 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 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
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 were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just 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 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
37 Vendeu-o e trouxe o valor dele e depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.	37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
