Acts 18

Depois disto Paulo partiu para Atenas e chegou a Corinto.

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

E encontrando um judeu por nome Áquila, natural do Ponto, que pouco antes viera da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (porque Cláudio tinha decretado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), foi ter com eles,

And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

e, por ser do mesmo ofício, com eles morava, e juntos trabalhavam; pois eram, por ofício, fabricantes de tendas.

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

Ele discutia todos os sábados na sinagoga, e persuadia a judeus e gregos.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

Quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo dedicou-se inteiramente à palavra, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo.

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

Como estes, porém, se opusessem e proferissem injúrias, sacudiu ele as vestes e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora vou para os gentios.

And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

E saindo dali, entrou em casa de um homem temente a Deus, chamado Tito Justo, cuja casa ficava junto da sinagoga.

And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

Crispo, chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, ouvindo, criam e eram batizados.

And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

E de noite disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala e não te cales;

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

porque eu estou contigo e ninguém te acometerá para te fazer mal, pois tenho muito povo nesta cidade.

For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

E ficou ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.

And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Sendo Gálio procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus de comum acordo contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,

And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

dizendo: Este persuade os homens a render culto a Deus de um modo contrário à lei.

Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

E, quando Paulo estava para abrir a boca, disse Gálio aos judeus: Se de fato houvesse, ó judeus, algum agravo ou crime perverso, com razão eu vos sofreria;

And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

mas, se são questões de palavras, de nomes, e da vossa lei, disso cuidai vós mesmos; porque eu não quero ser juiz destas coisas.

But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

E expulsou-os do tribunal.

And he drave them from the judgment seat.

Então todos agarraram Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancavam diante do tribunal; e Gálio não se importava com nenhuma dessas coisas.

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

Paulo, tendo ficado ali ainda muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria, e com ele Priscila e Áquila, havendo rapado a cabeça em Cencréia, porque tinha voto.

And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

E eles chegaram a Éfeso, onde Paulo os deixou; e tendo entrado na sinagoga, discutia com os judeus.

And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

Estes rogavam que ficasse por mais algum tempo, mas ele não anuiu,

When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

antes se despediu deles, dizendo: Se Deus quiser, de novo voltarei a vós; e navegou de Éfeso.

But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

Tendo chegado a Cesaréia, subiu a Jerusalém e saudou a igreja, e desceu a Antioquia.

And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

E, tendo demorado ali algum tempo, partiu, passando sucessivamente pela região da Galácia e da Frígia, fortalecendo a todos os discípulos.

And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

Ora, chegou a Éfeso certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloquente e poderoso nas Escrituras.

And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

Era ele instruído no caminho do Senhor e, sendo fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava com precisão as coisas concernentes a Jesus, conhecendo entretanto somente o batismo de João.

This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

Ele começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga: mas quando Priscila e Áquila o ouviram, levaram-no consigo e lhe expuseram com mais precisão o caminho de Deus.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Querendo ele passar à Acaia, os irmãos o animaram e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; e tendo ele chegado, auxiliou muito aos que pela graça haviam crido.

And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

Pois com grande poder refutava publicamente os judeus, demonstrando pelas escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.

For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
