Acts 5

Mas um certo homem chamado Ananias, com Safira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade,

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

e reteve parte do preço, sabendo-o também sua mulher; e levando a outra parte, a depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.

And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Disse então Pedro: Ananias, por que encheu Satanás o teu coração, para que mentisses ao Espírito Santo e retivesses parte do preço do terreno?

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Enquanto o possuías, não era teu? E vendido, não estava o preço em teu poder? Como, pois, formaste este desígnio em teu coração? Não mentiste aos homens, mas a Deus.

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

E Ananias, ouvindo estas palavras, caiu e expirou. E grande temor veio sobre todos os que souberam disto.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

Levantando-se os moços, cobriram-no e, transportando-o para fora, o sepultaram.

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

Depois de um intervalo de cerca de três horas, entrou também sua mulher, sabendo o que havia acontecido.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

E perguntou-lhe Pedro: Dize-me vendestes por tanto aquele terreno? E ela respondeu: Sim, por tanto.

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

Então Pedro lhe disse: Por que é que combinastes entre vós provar o Espírito do Senhor? Eis aí à porta os pés dos que sepultaram o teu marido, e te levarão também a ti.

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

Imediatamente ela caiu aos pés dele e expirou. E entrando os moços, acharam-na morta e, levando-a para fora, sepultaram-na ao lado do marido.

Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Sobreveio grande temor a toda a igreja e a todos os que ouviram estas coisas.

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

E muitos sinais e prodígios eram feitos entre o povo pelas mãos dos apóstolos. E estavam todos de comum acordo no pórtico de Salomão.

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

Dos outros, porém, nenhum ousava ajuntar-se a eles; mas o povo os tinha em grande estima;

And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

e cada vez mais se agregavam crentes ao Senhor em grande número tanto de homens como de mulheres;

And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

a ponto de transportarem os enfermos para as ruas, e os porem em leitos e macas, para que ao passar Pedro, ao menos sua sombra cobrisse alguns deles.

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

Também das cidades circunvizinhas afluía muita gente a Jerusalém, conduzindo enfermos e atormentados de espíritos imundos, os quais eram todos curados.

There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

Levantando-se o sumo sacerdote e todos os que estavam com ele (isto é, a seita dos saduceus), encheram-se de inveja,

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

deitaram mão nos apóstolos, e os puseram na prisão pública.

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

Mas de noite um anjo do Senhor abriu as portas do cárcere e, tirando-os para fora, disse:

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

Ide, apresentai-vos no templo, e falai ao povo todas as palavras desta vida.

Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Ora, tendo eles ouvido isto, entraram de manhã cedo no templo e ensinavam. Chegando, porém o sumo sacerdote e os que estavam com ele, convocaram o sinédrio, com todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel, e enviaram guardas ao cárcere para trazê-los.

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

Mas os guardas, tendo lá ido, não os acharam na prisão; e voltando, lho anunciaram,

But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

dizendo: Achamos realmente o cárcere fechado com toda a segurança, e as sentinelas em pé às portas; mas, abrindo-as, a ninguém achamos dentro.

Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

E quando o capitão do templo e os principais sacerdotes ouviram estas palavras ficaram perplexos acerca deles e do que viria a ser isso.

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

Então chegou alguém e lhes anunciou: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo, em pé, a ensinar o povo.

Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

Nisso foi o capitão com os guardas e os trouxe, não com violência, porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo.

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

E tendo-os trazido, os apresentaram ao sinédrio. E o sumo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

Não vos admoestamos expressamente que não ensinásseis nesse nome? E eis que enchestes Jerusalém dessa vossa doutrina e quereis lançar sobre nós o sangue desse homem.

Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

Respondendo Pedro e os apóstolos, disseram: Importa antes obedecer a Deus que aos homens.

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

O Deus de nossos pais ressuscitou a Jesus, ao qual vós matastes, suspendendo-o no madeiro;

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

sim, Deus, com a sua destra, o elevou a Príncipe e Salvador, para dar a Israel o arrependimento e remissão de pecados.

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

E nós somos testemunhas destas coisas, e bem assim o Espírito Santo, que Deus deu àqueles que lhe obedecem.

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Ora, ouvindo eles isto, se enfureceram e queriam matá-los.

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

Mas, levantando-se no sinédrio certo fariseu chamado Gamaliel, doutor da lei, acatado por todo o povo, mandou que por um pouco saíssem aqueles homens;

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

e prosseguiu: Varões israelitas, acautelai-vos a respeito do que estai para fazer a estes homens.

And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

Porque, há algum tempo, levantou-se Teudas, dizendo ser alguém; ao qual se ajuntaram uns quatrocentos homens; mas ele foi morto, e todos quantos lhe obedeciam foram dispersos e reduzidos a nada.

For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

Depois dele levantou-se Judas, o galileu, nos dias do recenseamento, e levou muitos após si; mas também este pereceu, e todos quantos lhe obedeciam foram dispersos.

After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

Agora vos digo: Dai de mão a estes homens, e deixai-os, porque este conselho ou esta obra, caso seja dos homens, se desfará;

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

mas, se é de Deus, não podereis derrotá-los; para que não sejais, porventura, achados até combatendo contra Deus.

But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Concordaram, pois, com ele, e tendo chamado os apóstolos, açoitaram-nos e mandaram que não falassem em nome de Jesus, e os soltaram.

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Retiraram-se pois da presença do sinédrio, regozijando-se de terem sido julgados dignos de sofrer afronta pelo nome de Jesus.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

E todos os dias, no templo e de casa em casa, não cessavam de ensinar, e de anunciar a Jesus, o Cristo.

And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
