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, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding to Rhodes, and thence to Patara,

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

and having found a ship passing over to Phenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,

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.

and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and did land at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the lading.

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

And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to 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,

but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees upon the shore, we prayed,

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

and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.

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

And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them;

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 on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Cesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist -- who is of the seven -- we remained with him,

9 T inha este quatro filhas virgens que profetizavam.

and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.

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

And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name 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 he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle -- so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver up to the hands of nations.'

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

And when we heard these things, we called upon -- both we, and those of that place -- 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.

and Paul answered, `What do ye -- weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, 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 he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, `The will of the Lord be done.'

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

And after these days, having taken vessels, we were going 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.

and there went also of the disciples from Cesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.

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

And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us,

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

and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came,

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

and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration,

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 they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are 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 instructed concerning thee, that apostacy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying -- Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;

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

what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come.

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

`This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves,

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.

these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk -- thyself also -- the law keeping.

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.

`And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.'

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, having taken the men, on the following day, with them having purified himself, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, till the offering was offered for each 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, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon 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, Israelites, help! this is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the temple, and hath defiled 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 Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul 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.

All the city also was moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,

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

and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into confusion,

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, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off beating 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, having come nigh, took him, and commanded to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing,

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 were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle,

35 E sucedeu que, chegando

and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,

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

for the crowd of the people was following 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 Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, `Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, `Greek dost thou know?

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, then, the Egyptian who before these days made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the four thousand men of the assassins?'

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.

And Paul said, `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; 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 he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
