1 N ow Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (three o’clock in the afternoon),

Pedro e João subiam ao templo ã hora da oração, a nona.

2 a certain man crippled from his birth was being carried along, who was laid each day at that gate of the temple called Beautiful, so that he might beg for charitable gifts from those who entered the temple.

E, era carregado um homem, coxo de nascença, o qual todos os dias punham ã porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para pedir esmolas aos que entravam.

3 S o when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked them to give him a gift.

Ora, vendo ele a Pedro e João, que iam entrando no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola.

4 A nd Peter directed his gaze intently at him, and so did John, and said, Look at us!

E Pedro, com João, fitando os olhos nele, disse: Olha para nós.

5 A nd paid attention to them, expecting that he was going to get something from them.

E ele os olhava atentamente, esperando receber deles alguma coisa.

6 B ut Peter said, Silver and gold (money) I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in '> use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!

Disse-lhe Pedro: Não tenho prata nem ouro; mas o que tenho, isso te dou; em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, anda.

7 T hen he took hold of the man’s right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankle bones became strong and steady,

Nisso, tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou; imediatamente os seus pés e artelhos se firmaram

8 A nd leaping forth he stood and began to walk, and he went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

e, dando ele um salto, pôs-se em pé. Começou a andar e entrou com eles no templo, andando, saltando e louvando a Deus.

9 A nd all the people saw him walking about and praising God,

Todo o povo, ao vê-lo andar e louvar a Deus,

10 A nd they recognized him as the man who usually sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement (bewilderment, consternation) over what had occurred to him.

reconhecia-o como o mesmo que estivera sentado a pedir esmola ã Porta Formosa do templo; e todos ficaram cheios de pasmo e assombro, pelo que lhe acontecera.

11 N ow while he firmly clung to Peter and John, all the people in utmost amazement ran together and crowded around them in the covered porch (walk) called Solomon’s.

Apegando-se o homem a Pedro e João, todo o povo correu atônito para junto deles, ao pórtico chamado de Salomão.

12 A nd Peter, seeing it, answered the people, You men of Israel, why are you so surprised and wondering at this? Why do you keep staring at us, as though by our power or piety we had made this man to walk?

Pedro, vendo isto, disse ao povo: Varões israelitas, por que vos admirais deste homem? Ou, por que fitais os olhos em nós, como se por nosso próprio poder ou piedade o tivéssemos feito andar?

13 T he God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified His Servant and Son Jesus, Whom you indeed delivered up and denied and rejected and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to let Him go.

O Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Jacó, o Deus de nossos pais, glorificou a seu Servo Jesus, a quem vós entregastes e perante a face de Pilatos negastes, quando este havia resolvido soltá-lo.

14 B ut you denied and rejected and disowned the Pure and Holy, the Just and Blameless One, and demanded a murderer to be granted to you.

Mas vós negastes o Santo e Justo, e pedistes que se vos desse um homicida;

15 B ut you killed the very Source (the Author) of life, Whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.

e matastes o Autor da vida, a quem Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, do que nós somos testemunhas.

16 A nd His name, through and by faith in His name, has made this man whom you see and recognize well and strong. the faith which is through and by Him has given the man this perfect soundness before all of you.

E pela fé em seu nome fez o seu nome fortalecer a este homem que vedes e conheceis; sim, a fé, que vem por ele, deu a este, na presença de todos vós, esta perfeita saúde.

17 A nd now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your rulers also.

Agora, irmãos, eu sei que o fizestes por ignorância, como também as vossas autoridades.

18 T hus has God fulfilled what He foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ (the Messiah) should undergo ill treatment and be afflicted and suffer.

Mas Deus assim cumpriu o que já dantes pela boca de todos os seus profetas havia anunciado que o seu Cristo havia de padecer.

19 S o repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return, that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord;

Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos, para que sejam apagados os vossos pecados, de sorte que venham os tempos de refrigério, da presença do Senhor,

20 A nd that He may send the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus,

e envie ele o Cristo, que já dantes vos foi indicado, Jesus,

21 W hom heaven must receive until the time for the complete restoration of all that God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past.

ao qual convém que o céu receba até os tempos da restauração de todas as coisas, das quais Deus falou pela boca dos seus santos profetas, desde o princípio.

22 T hus Moses said to the forefathers, The Lord God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your brethren as me; Him you shall listen to and understand by hearing and heed in all things whatever He tells you.

Pois Moisés disse: Suscitar-vos-á o Senhor vosso Deus, dentre vossos irmãos, um profeta semelhante a mim; a ele ouvireis em tudo quanto vos disser.

23 A nd it shall be that every soul that does not listen to and understand by hearing and heed that Prophet shall be utterly exterminated from among the people.

E acontecerá que toda alma que não ouvir a esse profeta, será exterminada dentre o povo.

24 I ndeed, all the prophets from Samuel and those who came afterwards, as many as have spoken, also promised and foretold and proclaimed these days.

E todos os profetas, desde Samuel e os que sucederam, quantos falaram, também anunciaram estes dias.

25 Y ou are the descendants (sons) of the prophets and the heirs of the covenant which God made and gave to your forefathers, saying to Abraham, And in your Seed (Heir) shall all the families of the earth be blessed and benefited.

Vós sois os filhos dos profetas e do pacto que Deus fez com vossos pais, dizendo a Abraão: Na tua descendência serão abençoadas todas as famílias da terra.

26 I t was to you first that God sent His Servant and Son Jesus, when He raised Him up '> provided and gave Him for us], to bless you in turning every one of you from your wickedness and evil ways.

Deus suscitou a seu Servo, e a vós primeiramente vo-lo enviou para que vos abençoasse, desviando-vos, a cada um, das vossas maldades.
