2 E encontrando um judeu por nome Áqüila, 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 (for Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and came unto them.

3 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 worked, for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 E le discutia todos os sábados na sinagoga, e persuadia a judeus e gregos.

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

5 Q uando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo dedicou- se inteiramente ã palavra, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo.

And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was impressed by the Spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

6 C omo 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 now on I will go unto the Gentiles.

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

¶ And he departed from there and entered into a certain man’s house, named Titus the Just, one that feared God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

8 C rispo, 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.

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

Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,

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

For I am with thee, and no one shall be able to hurt thee, for I have many people in this city.

11 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 them the word of God.

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

¶ And when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 d izendo: Este persuade os homens a render culto a Deus de um modo contrário ã lei.

saying, This fellow persuades men to honor God contrary to the law.

14 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;

15 m as, 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 is a question of words and names and of your law, look ye to it, for I will be no judge of such matters.

16 E expulsou-os do tribunal.

And he drove them from the judgment seat.

17 E ntão 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.

18 P aulo, tendo ficado ali ainda muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria, e com ele Priscila e Áqüila, 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 from there into Syria and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

19 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.

20 E stes rogavam que ficasse por mais algum tempo, mas ele não anuiu,

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

21 a ntes 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 comes in Jerusalem, but I will return again unto you, if God wills. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22 T endo chegado a Cesaréia, subiu a Jerusalém e saudou a igreja, e desceu a Antioquia.

And when he had landed at Caesarea and gone up to Jerusalem and after greeting the congregation, he went down to Antioch.

23 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, confirming all the disciples.

24 O ra, chegou a Éfeso certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloqüente e poderoso nas Escrituras.

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

25 E ra 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 spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, teaching only in the baptism of John.

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

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

27 Q uerendo ele passar ã Acáia, 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 exhorted brethren wrote the disciples to receive him, who, when he was come, was very helpful through grace unto those who had believed;

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

for he mightily convinced the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
