1 A nd when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,

Ao cumprir-se o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos no mesmo lugar.

2 W hen suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.

De repente veio do céu um ruído, como que de um vento impetuoso, e encheu toda a casa onde estavam sentados.

3 A nd there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them.

E lhes apareceram umas línguas como que de fogo, que se distribuíam, e sobre cada um deles pousou uma.

4 A nd they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression.

E todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo, e começaram a falar noutras línguas, conforme o Espírito lhes concedia que falassem.

5 N ow there were then residing in Jerusalem Jews, devout and God-fearing men from every country under heaven.

Habitavam então em Jerusalém judeus, homens piedosos, de todas as nações que há debaixo do céu.

6 A nd when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.

Ouvindo-se, pois, aquele ruído, ajuntou-se a multidão; e estava confusa, porque cada um os ouvia falar na sua própria língua.

7 A nd they were beside themselves with amazement, saying, Are not all these who are talking Galileans?

E todos pasmavam e se admiravam, dizendo uns aos outros: Pois quê! não são galileus todos esses que estão falando?

8 T hen how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own (particular) dialect to which we were born?

Como é, pois, que os ouvimos falar cada um na própria língua em que nascemos?

9 P arthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

Nós, partos, medos, e elamitas; e os que habitamos a Mesopotâmia, a Judéia e a Capadócia, o Ponto e a Ásia,

10 P hrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and the transient residents from Rome, both Jews and the proselytes,

a Frígia e a Panfília, o Egito e as partes da Líbia próximas a Cirene, e forasteiros romanos, tanto judeus como prosélitos,

11 C retans and Arabians too—we all hear them speaking in our own native tongues the mighty works of God!

cretenses e árabes - ouvímo-los em nossas línguas, falar das grandezas de Deus.

12 A nd all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean?

E todos pasmavam e estavam perplexos, dizendo uns aos outros: Que quer dizer isto?

13 B ut others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet wine.

E outros, zombando, diziam: Estão cheios de mosto.

14 B ut Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say.

Então Pedro, pondo-se em pé com os onze, levantou a voz e disse-lhes: Varões judeus e todos os que habitais em Jerusalém, seja- vos isto notório, e escutai as minhas palavras.

15 F or these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is the third hour (about 9: 00 a. m.) of the day;

Pois estes homens não estão embriagados, como vós pensais, visto que é apenas a terceira hora do dia.

16 B ut this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

Mas isto é o que foi dito pelo profeta Joel:

17 A nd it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy '> telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions ( divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream '> divinely suggested] dreams.

E acontecerá nos últimos dias, diz o Senhor, que derramarei do meu Espírito sobre toda a carne; e os vossos filhos e as vossas filhas profetizarão, os vossos mancebos terão visões, os vossos anciãos terão sonhos;

18 Y es, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy '> telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].

e sobre os meus servos e sobre as minhas servas derramarei do meu Espírito naqueles dias, e eles profetizarão.

19 A nd I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;

E mostrarei prodígios em cima no céu; e sinais embaixo na terra, sangue, fogo e vapor de fumaça.

20 T he sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes—that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned.

O sol se converterá em trevas, e a lua em sangue, antes que venha o grande e glorioso dia do Senhor.

21 A nd it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord '> invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord—Christ] shall be saved.

e acontecerá que todo aquele que invocar o nome do Senhor será salvo.

22 Y ou men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and shown forth and commended and attested to you by God by the mighty works and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know—

Varões israelitas, escutai estas palavras: A Jesus, o nazareno, varão aprovado por Deus entre vós com milagres, prodígios e sinais, que Deus por ele fez no meio de vós, como vós mesmos bem sabeis;

23 T his Jesus, when delivered up according to the definite and fixed purpose and settled plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and put out of the way by the hands of lawless and wicked men.

a este, que foi entregue pelo determinado conselho e presciência de Deus, vós matastes, crucificando-o pelas mãos de iníquos;

24 G od raised Him up, liberating Him from the pangs of death, seeing that it was not possible for Him to continue to be controlled or retained by it.

ao qual Deus ressuscitou, rompendo os grilhões da morte, pois não era possível que fosse retido por ela.

25 F or David says in regard to Him, I saw the Lord constantly before me, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken or overthrown or cast down.

Porque dele fala Davi: Sempre via diante de mim o Senhor, porque está ã minha direita, para que eu não seja abalado;

26 T herefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly; moreover, my flesh also will dwell in hope.

por isso se alegrou o meu coração, e a minha língua exultou; e além disso a minha carne há de repousar em esperança;

27 F or You will not abandon my soul, leaving it helpless in Hades (the state of departed spirits), nor let Your Holy One know decay or see destruction.

pois não deixarás a minha alma no hades, nem permitirás que o teu Santo veja a corrupção;

28 Y ou have made known to me the ways of life; You will enrapture me with and in Your presence.

fizeste-me conhecer os caminhos da vida; encher-me-ás de alegria na tua presença.

29 B rethren, it is permitted me to tell you confidently and with freedom concerning the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Irmãos, seja-me permitido dizer-vos livremente acerca do patriarca Davi, que ele morreu e foi sepultado, e entre nós está até hoje a sua sepultura.

30 B eing however a prophet, and knowing that God had sealed to him with an oath that He would set one of his descendants on his throne,

Sendo, pois, ele profeta, e sabendo que Deus lhe havia prometido com juramento que faria sentar sobre o seu trono um dos seus descendentes -

31 H e, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ (the Messiah) that He was not deserted and left in Hades (the state of departed spirits), nor did His body know decay or see destruction.

prevendo isto, Davi falou da ressurreição de Cristo, que a sua alma não foi deixada no hades, nem a sua carne viu a corrupção.

32 T his Jesus God raised up, and of that all we are witnesses.

Ora, a este Jesus, Deus ressuscitou, do que todos nós somos testemunhas.

33 B eing therefore lifted high by and to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, He has made this outpouring which you yourselves both see and hear.

De sorte que, exaltado pela dextra de Deus, e tendo recebido do Pai a promessa do Espírito Santo, derramou isto que vós agora vedes e ouvis.

34 F or David did not ascend into the heavens; yet he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand and share My throne

Porque Davi não subiu aos céus, mas ele próprio declara: Disse o Senhor ao meu Senhor: Assenta-te ã minha direita,

35 U ntil I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.

até que eu ponha os teus inimigos por escabelo de teus pés.

36 T herefore let the whole house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt and acknowledge assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ (the Messiah)—this Jesus Whom you crucified.

Saiba pois com certeza toda a casa de Israel que a esse mesmo Jesus, a quem vós crucificastes, Deus o fez Senhor e Cristo.

37 N ow when they heard this they were stung (cut) to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles (special messengers), Brethren, what shall we do?

E, ouvindo eles isto, compungiram-se em seu coração, e perguntaram a Pedro e aos demais apóstolos: Que faremos, irmãos?

38 A nd Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Pedro então lhes respondeu: Arrependei-vos, e cada um de vós seja batizado em nome de Jesus Cristo, para remissão de vossos pecados; e recebereis o dom do Espírito Santo.

39 F or the promise is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.

Porque a promessa vos pertence a vós, a vossos filhos, e a todos os que estão longe: a quantos o Senhor nosso Deus chamar.

40 A nd solemnly and earnestly witnessed (testified) and admonished (exhorted) with much more continuous speaking and warned (reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying, Be saved from this crooked (perverse, wicked, unjust) generation.

E com muitas outras palavras dava testemunho, e os exortava, dizendo: salvai-vos desta geração perversa.

41 T herefore those who accepted and welcomed his message were baptized, and there were added that day about 3, 000 souls.

De sorte que foram batizados os que receberam a sua palavra; e naquele dia agregaram-se quase três mil almas;

42 A nd they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread and prayers.

e perseveravam na doutrina dos apóstolos e na comunhão, no partir do pão e nas orações.

43 A nd a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).

Em cada alma havia temor, e muitos prodígios e sinais eram feitos pelos apóstolos.

44 A nd all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and they had everything in common;

Todos os que criam estavam unidos e tinham tudo em comum.

45 A nd they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.

E vendiam suas propriedades e bens e os repartiam por todos, segundo a necessidade de cada um.

46 A nd day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose, and in their homes they broke bread. They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity and generous hearts,

E, perseverando unânimes todos os dias no templo, e partindo o pão em casa, comiam com alegria e singeleza de coração,

47 C onstantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding daily those who were being saved.

louvando a Deus, e caindo na graça de todo o povo. E cada dia acrescentava-lhes o Senhor os que iam sendo salvos.
