1 N ow at Iconium went into the Jewish synagogue together and spoke with such power that a great number both of Jews and of Greeks believed (became Christians);

Em Icônio entraram juntos na sinagoga dos judeus e falaram de tal modo que creu uma grande multidão tanto de judeus como de gregos.

2 B ut the unbelieving Jews aroused the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.

Mas os judeus incrédulos excitaram e irritaram os ânimos dos gentios contra os irmãos.

3 S o stayed on there for a long time, speaking freely and fearlessly and boldly in the Lord, Who continued to bear testimony to the Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.

Eles, entretanto, se demoraram ali por muito tempo, falando ousadamente acerca do Senhor, o qual dava testemunho ã palavra da sua graça, concedendo que por suas mãos se fizessem sinais e prodígios.

4 B ut the residents of the town were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.

E se dividiu o povo da cidade; uns eram pelos judeus, e outros pelos apóstolos.

5 W hen there was an attempt both on the part of the Gentiles and the Jews together with their rulers, to insult and abuse and molest and to stone them,

E, havendo um motim tanto dos gentios como dos judeus, juntamente com as suas autoridades, para os ultrajarem e apedrejarem,

6 T hey, aware of the situation, made their escape to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and the neighboring districts;

eles, sabendo-o, fugiram para Listra e Derbe, cidades da Licaônia, e a região circunvizinha;

7 A nd there they continued to preach the glad tidings (Gospel).

e ali pregavam o evangelho.

8 N ow at Lystra a man sat who found it impossible to use his feet, for he was a cripple from birth and had never walked.

Em Listra estava sentado um homem aleijado dos pés, coxo de nascença e que nunca tinha andado.

9 H e was listening to Paul as he talked, and gazing intently at him and observing that he had faith to be healed,

Este ouvia falar Paulo, que, fitando nele os olhos e vendo que tinha fé para ser curado,

10 S houted at him, saying, Stand erect on your feet! And he leaped up and walked.

disse em alta voz: Levanta-te direito sobre os teus pés. E ele saltou, e andava.

11 A nd the crowds, when they saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, shouting in the Lycaonian language, The gods have come down to us in human form!

As multidões, vendo o que Paulo fizera, levantaram a voz, dizendo em língua licaônica: Fizeram-se os deuses semelhantes aos homens e desceram até nós.

12 T hey called Barnabas Zeus, and they called Paul, because he led in the discourse, Hermes.

A Barnabé chamavam Júpiter e a Paulo, Mercúrio, porque era ele o que dirigia a palavra.

13 A nd the priest of Zeus, whose was at the entrance of the town, brought bulls and garlands to the gates and wanted to join the people in offering sacrifice.

O sacerdote de Júpiter, cujo templo estava em frente da cidade, trouxe para as portas touros e grinaldas e, juntamente com as multidões, queria oferecer-lhes sacrifícios.

14 B ut when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothing and dashed out among the crowd, shouting,

Quando, porém, os apóstolos Barnabé e Paulo ouviram isto, rasgaram as suas vestes e saltaram para o meio da multidão, clamando

15 M en, why are you doing this? We also are human beings, of nature like your own, and we bring you the good news (Gospel) that you should turn away from these foolish and vain things to the living God, Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that they contain.

e dizendo: Senhores, por que fazeis estas coisas? Nós também somos homens, de natureza semelhante ã vossa, e vos anunciamos o evangelho para que destas práticas vãs vos convertais ao Deus vivo, que fez o céu, a terra, o mar, e tudo quanto há neles;

16 I n generations past He permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;

o qual nos tempos passados permitiu que todas as nações andassem nos seus próprios caminhos.

17 Y et He did not neglect to leave some witness of Himself, for He did you good and kindness and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with nourishment and happiness.

Contudo não deixou de dar testemunho de si mesmo, fazendo o bem, dando-vos chuvas do céu e estações frutíferas, enchendo-vos de mantimento, e de alegria os vossos corações.

18 E ven in these words they with difficulty prevented the people from offering sacrifice to them.

E dizendo isto, com dificuldade impediram as multidões de lhes oferecerem sacrifícios.

19 B ut some Jews arrived there from Antioch and Iconium; and having persuaded the people and won them over, they stoned Paul and '> afterward] dragged him out of the town, thinking that he was dead.

Sobrevieram, porém, judeus de Antioquia e de Icônio e, havendo persuadido as multidões, apedrejaram a Paulo, e arrastaram-no para fora da cidade, cuidando que estava morto.

20 B ut the disciples formed a circle about him, and he got up and went back into the town; and on the morrow he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

Mas quando os discípulos o rodearam, ele se levantou e entrou na cidade. No dia seguinte partiu com Barnabé para Derbe.

21 W hen they had preached the good news (Gospel) to that town and made disciples of many of the people, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

E, tendo anunciado o evangelho naquela cidade e feito muitos discípulos, voltaram para Listra, Icônio e Antioquia,

22 E stablishing and strengthening the souls and the hearts of the disciples, urging and warning and encouraging them to stand firm in the faith, and that it is through many hardships and tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

confirmando as almas dos discípulos, exortando-os a perseverarem na fé, dizendo que por muitas tribulações nos é necessário entrar no reino de Deus.

23 A nd when they had appointed and ordained elders for them in each church with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord in Whom they had come to believe.

E, havendo-lhes feito eleger anciãos em cada igreja e orado com jejuns, os encomendaram ao Senhor em quem haviam crido.

24 T hen they went through Pisidia and arrived at Pamphylia.

Atravessando então a Pisídia, chegaram ã Panfília.

25 A nd when they had spoken the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

E, tendo anunciado a palavra em Perge, desceram a Atália.

26 A nd from there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

E dali navegaram para Antioquia, donde tinham sido encomendados ã graça de Deus para a obra que acabavam de cumprir.

27 A rriving there, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had accomplished with them and how He had opened to the Gentiles a door of faith.

Quando chegaram e reuniram a igreja, relataram tudo quanto Deus fizera por meio deles, e como abrira aos gentios a porta da fé.

28 A nd there they stayed no little time with the disciples.

E ficaram ali não pouco tempo, com os discípulos.
