And while they were talking to the people, the high priests and the military commander of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 d oendo-se muito de que eles ensinassem o povo, e anunciassem em Jesus a ressurreição dentre os mortos,

Being vexed and indignant through and through because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 d eitaram mão neles, e os encerraram na prisão até o dia seguinte; pois era já tarde.

So they laid hands on them (arrested them) and put them in prison until the following day, for it was already evening.

4 M uitos, porém, dos que ouviram a palavra, creram, e se elevou o número dos homens a quase cinco mil.

But many of those who heard the message believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus as the Christ). And their number grew and came to about 5, 000.

5 N o dia seguinte, reuniram-se em Jerusalém as autoridades, os anciãos, os escribas,

Then on the following day, their magistrates and elders and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem,

6 e Anás, o sumo sacerdote, e Caifás, João, Alexandre, e todos quantos eram da linhagem do sumo sacerdote.

7 E , pondo-os no meio deles, perguntaram: Com que poder ou em nome de quem fizestes vós isto?

And they set the men in their midst and repeatedly demanded, By what sort of power or by what kind of authority did you do this ?

8 E ntão Pedro, cheio do Espírito Santo, lhes disse: Autoridades do povo e vós, anciãos,

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and members of the council (the Sanhedrin),

9 s e nós hoje somos inquiridos acerca do benefício feito a um enfermo, e do modo como foi curado,

If we are being put on trial today and examined concerning a good deed done to benefit a feeble (helpless) cripple, by what means this man has been restored to health,

10 s eja conhecido de vós todos, e de todo o povo de Israel, que em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, aquele a quem vós crucificastes e a quem Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, nesse nome está este aqui, são diante de vós.

Let it be known and understood by all of you, and by the whole house of Israel, that in the name and through the power and authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him and by means of Him this man is standing here before you well and sound in body.

11 E le é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta como pedra angular.

This is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner.

12 E em nenhum outro há salvação; porque debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome há, dado entre os homens, em que devamos ser salvos.

And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

13 E ntão eles, vendo a intrepidez de Pedro e João, e tendo percebido que eram homens iletrados e indoutos, se admiravam; e reconheciam que haviam estado com Jesus.

Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

14 E vendo em pé com eles o homem que fora curado, nada tinham que dizer em contrário.

And since they saw the man who had been cured standing there beside them, they could not contradict the fact or say anything in opposition.

15 T odavia, mandando-os sair do sinédrio, conferenciaram entre si,

But having ordered to go aside out of the council, they conferred (debated) among themselves,

16 d izendo: Que havemos de fazer a estes homens? porque a todos os que habitam em Jerusalém é manifesto que por eles foi feito um sinal notório, e não o podemos negar.

Saying, What are we to do with these men? For that an extraordinary miracle has been performed by (through) them is plain to all the residents of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17 M as, para que não se divulgue mais entre o povo, ameacemo- los para que de ora em diante não falem neste nome a homem algum.

But in order that it may not spread further among the people and the nation, let us warn and forbid them with a stern threat to speak any more to anyone in this name.

18 E , chamando-os, ordenaram-lhes que absolutamente não falassem nem ensinassem em nome de Jesus.

they summoned them and imperatively instructed them not to converse in any way or teach at all in or about the name of Jesus.

19 M as Pedro e João, respondendo, lhes disseram: Julgai vós se é justo diante de Deus ouvir-nos antes a vós do que a Deus;

But Peter and John replied to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must decide (judge).

20 p ois nós não podemos deixar de falar das coisas que temos visto e ouvido.

But we cannot help telling what we have seen and heard.

21 M as eles ainda os ameaçaram mais, e, não achando motivo para os castigar, soltaram-nos, por causa do povo; porque todos glorificavam a Deus pelo que acontecera;

Then when had further threatened them, they let them go, not seeing how they could secure a conviction against them because of the people; for everybody was praising and glorifying God for what had occurred.

And when they heard it, lifted their voices together with one united mind to God and said, O Sovereign Lord, You are He Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them,

Who by the mouth of our forefather David, Your servant and child, said through the Holy Spirit, Why did the heathen (Gentiles) become wanton and insolent and rage, and the people imagine and study and plan vain (fruitless) things ?

26 L evantaram-se os reis da terra, e as autoridades ajuntaram- se ã uma, contra o Senhor e contra o seu Ungido.

The kings of the earth took their stand in array and the rulers were assembled and combined together against the Lord and against His Anointed (Christ, the Messiah).

27 P orque verdadeiramente se ajuntaram, nesta cidade, contra o teu santo Servo Jesus, ao qual ungiste, não só Herodes, mas também Pôncio Pilatos com os gentios e os povos de Israel;

For in this city there actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel,

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.

32 D a multidão dos que criam, era um só o coração e uma só a alma, e ninguém dizia que coisa alguma das que possuía era sua própria, mas todas as coisas lhes eram comuns.

Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all.

33 C om grande poder os apóstolos davam testemunho da ressurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos eles havia abundante graça.

And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all.
