1 C hegou também a Derbe e Listra. E eis que estava ali certo discípulo por nome Timóteo, filho de uma judia crente, mas de pai grego;

¶ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, who was faithful, but his father was a Gentile,

2 d o qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos em Listra e Icônio.

of whom the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium gave good witness.

3 P aulo quis que este fosse com ele e, tomando-o, o circuncidou por causa dos judeus que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.

Paul desired to have him go forth with him and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those quarters, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 Q uando iam passando pelas cidades, entregavam aos irmãos, para serem observadas, as decisões que haviam sido tomadas pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém.

And as they went through the cities, they asked them to keep the decrees that had been determined by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

5 A ssim as igrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e dia a dia cresciam em número.

And so the congregations were established in the faith and increased in number daily.

6 A travessaram a região frígio-gálata, tendo sido impedidos pelo Espírito Santo de anunciar a palavra na Ásia;

¶ Now passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia;

7 e tendo chegado diante da Mísia, tentavam ir para Bitínia, mas o Espírito de Jesus não lho permitiu.

after they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered them not.

8 E ntão, passando pela Mísia, desceram a Trôade.

And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

9 D e noite apareceu a Paulo esta visão: estava ali em pé um homem da Macedônia, que lhe rogava: Passa ã Macedônia e ajuda-nos.

And a vision was shown to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, asking him, saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

10 E quando ele teve esta visão, procuravamos logo partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que Deus nos havia chamado para lhes anunciarmos o evangelho.

And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

11 N avegando, pois, de Trôade, fomos em direitura a Samotrácia, e no dia seguinte a Neápolis;

Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis,

12 e dali para Filipos, que é a primeira cidade desse distrito da Macedônia, e colônia romana; e estivemos alguns dias nessa cidade.

and from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony; and we were in that city abiding certain days.

13 N o sábado saímos portas afora para a beira do rio, onde julgávamos haver um lugar de oração e, sentados, falávamos

And on one of the sabbaths we went out of the city by a river side, where it was customary to pray; and we sat down and spoke unto the women who gathered there.

14 E certa mulher chamada Lídia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Tiatira, e que temia a Deus, nos escutava e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para atender

Then a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who feared God, heard us, whose heart the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

15 D epois que foi batizada, ela e a sua casa, rogou-nos, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu sou fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa, e ficai ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.

And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us.

16 O ra, aconteceu que quando íamos ao lugar de oração, nos veio ao encontro uma jovem que tinha um espírito adivinhador, e que, adivinhando, dava grande lucro a seus senhores.

¶ And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a Pythian spirit met us, which brought her masters much gain by divination:

17 E la, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: São servos do Deus Altíssimo estes homens que vos anunciam um caminho de salvação.

she followed Paul and us and cried out, saying, These men are the slaves of the most high God, who announce unto us the way of deliverance.

18 E fazia isto por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, perturbado, voltou- se e disse ao espírito: Eu te ordeno em nome de Jesus Cristo que saias dela. E na mesma hora saiu.

And she did this for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

19 O ra, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro havia desaparecido, prenderam a Paulo e Silas, e os arrastaram para uma praça ã presença dos magistrados.

And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers

20 E , apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeus, estão perturbando muito a nossa cidade.

and brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city

21 e pregam costumes que não nos é lícito receber nem praticar, sendo nós romanos.

and teach rites which are not lawful for us to receive neither to observe, being Romans.

22 A multidão levantou-se ã uma contra eles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoitá-los com varas.

And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates rent off their clothes and commanded to beat them.

23 E , havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely,

24 E le, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou na prisão interior e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.

who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 P ela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, enquanto os presos os escutavam.

¶ But at midnight as Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, and the prisoners heard them,

26 D e repente houve um tão grande terremoto que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere, e logo se abriram todas as portas e foram soltos os grilhões de todos.

then suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 O ra, o carcereiro, tendo acordado e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido.

And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.

28 M as Paulo bradou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos aqui estamos.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

29 T endo ele pedido luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas

Then he called for a light and came inside and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas

30 e , tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?

and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 R esponderam eles: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 E ntão lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 T omando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou- lhes as feridas; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.

And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

34 E ntão os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou- se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus.

And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

35 Q uando amanheceu, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros a dizer: Soltai aqueles homens.

¶ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 E o carcereiro transmitiu a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que fosseis soltos; agora, pois, saí e ide em paz.

And the keeper of the prison made these words known unto Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart and go in peace.

37 M as Paulo respondeu-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente sem sermos condenados, sendo cidadãos romanos, e nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fora? De modo nenhum será assim; mas venham eles mesmos e nos tirem.

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out in secret? no indeed; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

38 E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras, e estes temeram quando ouviram que eles eram romanos;

And the sergeants returned and told these words unto the magistrates; and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.

39 v ieram, pediram-lhes desculpas e, tirando-os para fora, rogavam que se retirassem da cidade.

And they came and besought them, and bringing them out, asked them to depart out of the city.

40 E ntão eles saíram da prisão, entraram em casa de Lídia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e partiram.

And leaving the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed.
