1 D epois disto Paulo partiu para Atenas e chegou a Corinto.

And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

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 having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife -- because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome -- he came to them,

3 e , por ser do mesmo ofício, com eles morava, e juntos trabalhavam; pois eram, por ofício, fabricantes de tendas.

and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;

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

and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both 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 both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus 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 on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken garments, he said unto them, `Your blood upon your head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'

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

And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining 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 ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

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

And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;

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

because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

11 E ficou ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.

and he continued a year and six months, teaching among 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 Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,

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

saying -- `Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'

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 Paul being about to open mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne 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 concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves, for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'

16 E expulsou-os do tribunal.

and he drave them from the tribunal;

17 E ntão todos agarraram Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancavam diante do tribunal; e Gálio não se importava com nenhuma dessas coisas.

and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.

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 having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria -- and with him Priscilla and Aquilas -- having shorn head in Cenchera, 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 down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:

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

and they having requested to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,

21 a ntes se despediu deles, dizendo: Se Deus quiser, de novo voltarei a vós; e navegou de Éfeso.

but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

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

and having come down to Cesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, 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 having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening 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, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, 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 one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only 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.

this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,

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 he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,

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

for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
