1 E assim aconteceu que, separando-nos deles, navegamos e, correndo em direitura, chegamos a Cós, e no dia seguinte a Rodes, e dali a Pátara.

And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

2 A chando um navio que seguia para a Fenícia, embarcamos e partimos.

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

3 E quando avistamos Chipre, deixando-a á esquerda, navegamos para a Síria e chegamos a Tiro, pois o navio havia de ser descarregado ali.

Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

4 H avendo achado os discípulos, demoramo-nos ali sete dias; e eles pelo Espírito diziam a Paulo que não subisse a Jerusalém.

And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 D epois de passarmos ali aqueles dias, saímos e seguimos a nossa viagem, acompanhando-nos todos, com suas mulheres e filhos, até fora da cidade; e, postos de joelhos na praia, oramos,

And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

6 e despedindo-nos uns dos outros, embarcamos, e eles voltaram para casa.

And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

7 C oncluída a nossa viagem de Tiro, chegamos a Ptolemaida; e, havendo saudado os irmãos, passamos um dia com eles.

And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

8 P artindo no dia seguinte, fomos a Cesaréia; e entrando em casa de Felipe, o evangelista, que era um dos sete, ficamos com ele.

And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9 T inha este quatro filhas virgens que profetizavam.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

10 D emorando-nos ali por muitos dias, desceu da Judéia um profeta, de nome Ágabo;

And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

11 e vindo ter conosco, tomou a cinta de Paulo e, ligando os seus próprios pés e mãos, disse: Isto diz o Espírito Santo: Assim os judeus ligarão em Jerusalém o homem a quem pertence esta cinta, e o entregarão nas mãos dos gentios.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

12 Q uando ouvimos isto, rogamos-lhe, tanto nós como os daquele lugar, que não subisse a Jerusalém.

And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 E ntão Paulo resppondeu: Que fazeis chorando e magoando-me o coração? Porque eu estou pronto não só a ser ligado, mas ainda a morrer em Jerusalém pelo nome do Senhor Jesus.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

14 E , como não se deixasse persuadir, dissemos: Faça-se a vontade do Senhor; e calamo-nos.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

15 D epois destes dias, havendo feito os preparativos, fomos subindo a Jerusalém.

And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

16 E foram também conosco alguns discípulos de Cesaréia, levando consigo um certo Mnáson, cíprio, discípulo antigo, com quem nos havíamos de hospedar.

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

17 E chegando nós a Jerusalém, os irmãos nos receberam alegremente.

And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18 N o dia seguinte Paulo foi em nossa companhia ter com Tiago, e compareceram todos os anciãos.

And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

19 E , havendo-os saudado, contou-lhes uma por uma as coisas que por seu ministério Deus fizera entre os gentios.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

20 O uvindo eles isto, glorificaram a Deus, e disseram-lhe: Bem vês, irmãos, quantos milhares há entre os judeus que têm crido, e todos são zelosos da lei; gregos, ouviram a palavra do

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

21 e têm sido informados a teu respeito que ensinas todos os judeus que estão entre os gentios a se apartarem de Moisés, dizendo que não circuncidem seus filhos, nem andem segundo os costumes da lei.

And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

22 Q ue se há de fazer, pois? Certamente saberão que és chegado.

What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

23 F aze, pois, o que te vamos dizer: Temos quatro homens que fizeram voto;

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

24 t oma estes contigo, e santifica-te com eles, e faze por eles as despesas para que rapem a cabeça; e saberão todos que é falso aquilo de que têm sido informados a teu respeito, mas que também tu mesmo andas corretamente, guardando a lei.

Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

25 T odavia, quanto aos gentios que têm crido já escrevemos, dando o parecer que se abstenham do que é sacrificado a os ídolos, do sangue, do sufocado e da prostituição.

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

26 E ntão Paulo, no dia seguinte, tomando consigo aqueles homens, purificou-se com eles e entrou no templo, notificando o cumprimento dos dias da purificação, quando seria feita a favor de cada um deles a respectiva oferta.

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

27 M as quando os sete dias estavam quase a terminar, os judeus da Ásia, tendo-o visto no templo, alvoroçaram todo o povo e agarraram-no,

And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

28 c lamando: Varões israelitas, acudi; este é o homem que por toda parte ensina a todos contra o povo, contra a lei, e contra este lugar; e ainda, além disso, introduziu gregos no templo, e tem profanado este santo lugar.

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

29 P orque tinham visto com ele na cidade a Trófimo de Éfeso, e pensavam que Paulo o introduzira no templo.

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

30 A lvoroçou-se toda a cidade, e houve ajuntamento do povo; e agarrando a Paulo, arrastaram-no para fora do templo, e logo as portas se fecharam.

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

31 E , procurando eles matá-lo, chegou ao comandante da coorte o aviso de que Jerusalém estava toda em confusão;

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

32 o qual, tomando logo consigo soldados e centuriões, correu para eles; e quando viram o comandante e os soldados, cessaram de espancar a Paulo.

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

33 E ntão aproximando-se o comandante, prendeu-o e mandou que fosse acorrentado com duas cadeias, e perguntou quem era e o que tinha feito.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

34 E na multidão uns gritavam de um modo, outros de outro; mas, não podendo por causa do alvoroço saber a verdade, mandou conduzí-lo ã fortaleza.

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

35 E sucedeu que, chegando

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

36 P ois a multidão o seguia, gritando: Mata-o!

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

37 Q uando estava para ser introduzido na fortaleza, disse Paulo ao comandante: É-me permitido dizer-te alguma coisa? Respondeu ele: Sabes o grego?

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

38 N ão és porventura o egípcio que há poucos dias fez uma sedição e levou ao deserto os quatro mil sicários?

Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

39 M as Paulo lhe disse: Eu sou judeu, natural de Tarso, cidade não insignificante da Cilícia; rogo-te que me permitas falar ao povo.

But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

40 E , havendo-lho permitido o comandante, Paulo, em pé na escada, fez sinal ao povo com a mão; e, feito grande silêncio, falou em língua hebraica, dizendo:

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
