Atos 12
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
Berean Standard Bible
1Por aquele mesmo tempo, o rei Herodes começou a maltratar alguns membros da igreja.
1About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
2Ele matou Tiago, irmão de João, à espada.
2He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, mandou prender também Pedro. Isso foi durante os dias dos pães asmos.
3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
4Depois de prendê-lo, colocou-o na prisão e o entregou a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada para guardá-lo, com a intenção de apresentá-lo ao povo depois da Páscoa.
4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão, mas a igreja orava continuamente a Deus por ele.
5So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
6Naquela mesma noite, quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, Pedro dormia entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias. Guardas em frente à porta vigiavam a prisão.
6On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
7E eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu ao lado dele, e uma luz brilhou na cela. Ele tocou no lado de Pedro e o acordou, dizendo: “Levante-se depressa!” E as cadeias caíram de suas mãos.
7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
8O anjo lhe disse: “Vista-se e calce as suas sandálias.” Ele assim o fez. Disse-lhe mais: “Ponha a sua capa e siga-me.”
8“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
9Ele saiu e o seguiu. Não sabia que o que o anjo fazia era real, mas pensava que via uma visão.
9So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
10Quando passaram pelo primeiro e pelo segundo posto de guarda, chegaram ao portão de ferro que dá para a cidade, o qual se abriu por si mesmo para eles. Saíram e desceram por uma rua, e imediatamente o anjo o deixou.
10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
11Quando Pedro caiu em si, disse: “Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo e me livrou do poder de Herodes e de tudo o que o povo judeu esperava.”
11Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
12Pensando nisso, ele foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, chamado Marcos, onde muitos estavam reunidos e oravam.
12And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
13Quando Pedro bateu à porta do portão, uma serva chamada Rode veio atender.
13He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
14Quando ela reconheceu a voz de Pedro, de tanta alegria não abriu o portão, mas correu para dentro e anunciou que Pedro estava em pé em frente ao portão.
14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
15Eles lhe disseram: “Você está louca!” Mas ela insistia que era assim. Eles disseram: “É o seu anjo.”
15“You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
16Mas Pedro continuava batendo. Quando abriram, eles o viram e ficaram espantados.
16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
17Mas ele, fazendo-lhes sinal com a mão para que se calassem, declarou-lhes como o Senhor o havia tirado da prisão. E disse: “Contem estas coisas a Tiago e aos irmãos.” Então ele saiu e foi para outro lugar.
17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
18Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria acontecido a Pedro.
18At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19Quando Herodes o procurou e não o encontrou, interrogou os guardas e ordenou que fossem executados. Ele desceu da Judeia para Cesareia e ali permaneceu.
19After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
20Ora, Herodes estava muito irado com o povo de Tiro e de Sidom. Eles foram juntos falar com Herodes e, depois de conseguirem o apoio de Blasto, assistente pessoal do rei, pediram paz, porque o seu país dependia do país do rei para obter alimento.
20Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
21Em um dia designado, Herodes vestiu-se com trajes reais, assentou-se no trono e lhes fez um discurso.
21On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
22O povo gritava: “É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem!”
22And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
23Imediatamente um anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque ele não deu glória a Deus. Então ele foi comido por vermes e morreu.
23Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24Mas a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
24But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
25Barnabé e Saulo voltaram para Jerusalém quando cumpriram o seu serviço, levando também com eles João, que era chamado Marcos.
25When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
