1Ele chegou a Derbe e a Listra; e eis que estava ali certo discípulo chamado Timóteo, filho de uma judia crente, mas seu pai era grego.
1He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
2Os irmãos que estavam em Listra e Icônio davam bom testemunho dele.
2The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3Paulo queria que ele fosse com ele, e tomou-o e o circuncidou por causa dos judeus que estavam naquelas regiões, pois todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.
3Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4Ao passarem pelas cidades, entregavam-lhes os decretos para serem guardados, os quais haviam sido ordenados pelos apóstolos e presbíteros que estavam em Jerusalém.
4As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5Assim, as igrejas eram fortalecidas na fé, e cresciam em número diariamente.
5So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6Tendo passado pela região da Frígia e da Galácia, o Espírito Santo os impediu de anunciar a palavra na Ásia.
6When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7Quando chegaram perto da Mísia, tentaram ir para a Bitínia, mas o Espírito não lhes permitiu.
7When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8Passando pela Mísia, desceram a Trôade.
8Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9Uma visão apareceu a Paulo durante a noite. Havia um homem da Macedônia em pé, rogando-lhe e dizendo: “Passa à Macedônia e ajuda-nos.”
9A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
10Quando ele teve a visão, imediatamente procuramos partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que o Senhor nos havia chamado para lhes pregar o Evangelho.
10When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
11Navegando, portanto, de Trôade, fizemos uma rota direta para Samotrácia, e no dia seguinte para Neápolis;
11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12e dali para Filipos, que é a cidade principal daquele distrito da Macedônia, e uma colônia romana. Ficamos alguns dias nesta cidade.
12and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
13No dia de sábado, saímos da cidade para a beira de um rio, onde supúnhamos haver um lugar de oração; e, assentando-nos, falamos às mulheres que haviam se reunido.
13On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14Certa mulher chamada Lídia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Tiatira, que adorava a Deus, nos ouvia. O Senhor abriu o seu coração para dar atenção às coisas que eram ditas por Paulo.
14A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15Quando ela e a sua casa foram batizadas, ela nos pediu: “Se vocês me consideram fiel ao Senhor, venham ficar em minha casa.” E ela nos persuadiu.
15When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
16Certo dia, quando íamos para o lugar de oração, nos encontrou certa jovem que tinha um espírito de adivinhação, a qual trazia muito lucro aos seus senhores com adivinhações.
16As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
17Ela seguia Paulo e a nós, gritando: “Estes homens são servos do Deus Altíssimo, que nos proclamam um caminho de salvação!”
17Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
18Ela fez isso por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, ficando muito incomodado, voltou-se e disse ao espírito: “Eu te ordeno em nome de Jesus Cristo que saias dela!” E na mesma hora ele saiu.
18She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
19Mas, quando os seus senhores viram que a esperança do seu lucro havia desaparecido, agarraram Paulo e Silas e os arrastaram para a praça principal, perante as autoridades.
19But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20Quando os apresentaram aos magistrados, disseram: “Estes homens, sendo judeus, estão agitando a nossa cidade
20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
21e defendem costumes que não nos é lícito aceitar nem praticar, sendo nós romanos.”
21and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
22A multidão se levantou contra eles, e os magistrados rasgaram-lhes as roupas, e ordenaram que fossem açoitados com varas.
22The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23Depois de lhes darem muitos açoites, lançaram-nos na prisão, ordenando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.
23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24Tendo recebido tal ordem, ele os lançou no cárcere interior e prendeu os pés deles no tronco.
24Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
25Mas, por volta da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, e os prisioneiros os escutavam.
25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26De repente, houve um grande terremoto, de modo que os alicerces da prisão foram abalados; e imediatamente todas as portas se abriram, e as correntes de todos se soltaram.
26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
27O carcereiro, despertando do sono e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, puxou a sua espada e estava para se matar, supondo que os prisioneiros tivessem fugido.
27The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28Mas Paulo gritou em alta voz: “Não faça mal a si mesmo, pois estamos todos aqui!”
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
29Ele pediu luzes, saltou para dentro e, tremendo, prostrou-se diante de Paulo e Silas;
29He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30e, tirando-os para fora, disse: “Senhores, o que devo fazer para ser salvo?”
30brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31Eles disseram: “Creia no Senhor Jesus Cristo, e você será salvo, você e a sua casa.”
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32E pregaram a palavra do Senhor a ele e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
32They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33Ele os tomou consigo naquela mesma hora da noite e lavou os seus ferimentos; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.
33He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34Levando-os para a sua casa, pôs comida diante deles e alegrou-se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus.
34He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
35Mas, quando amanheceu, os magistrados enviaram os oficiais de justiça, dizendo: “Soltai aqueles homens.”
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
36O carcereiro relatou estas palavras a Paulo, dizendo: “Os magistrados mandaram soltá-los; agora, portanto, saiam e vão em paz.”
36The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
37Mas Paulo lhes disse: “Açoitaram-nos publicamente sem condenação, sendo nós cidadãos romanos, e nos lançaram na prisão! E agora nos soltam secretamente? Não, de modo nenhum! Que eles mesmos venham e nos tirem daqui!”
37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
38Os oficiais de justiça relataram estas palavras aos magistrados, e eles ficaram com medo quando ouviram que eram romanos;
38The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39e vieram e lhes suplicaram. Depois de os tirarem para fora, pediram-lhes que se retirassem da cidade.
39and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40Eles saíram da prisão e entraram na casa de Lídia. Quando viram os irmãos, os encorajaram, e então partiram.
40They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
