Atos 22
Bible in Basic English (BBE) vs NAA
1 My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.
1 — Irmãos e pais, escutem agora o que tenho a dizer em minha defesa.
2 And, hearing him talking in the Hebrew language, they became the more quiet, and he said,
2 Quando ouviram que Paulo lhes falava em língua hebraica, fizeram mais silêncio ainda. Paulo continuou:
3 I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia by birth, but I had my education in this town at the feet of Gamaliel, being trained in the keeping of every detail of the law of our fathers; given up to the cause of God with all my heart, as you are today.
3 — Eu sou judeu, nasci em Tarso da Cilícia, mas fui criado nesta cidade e aqui fui instruído aos pés de Gamaliel, segundo o rigor da Lei de nossos antepassados, sendo zeloso para com Deus, assim como todos vocês o são no dia de hoje.
4 And I made attacks on this Way, even to death, taking men and women and putting them in prison.
4 Persegui este Caminho até a morte, prendendo homens e mulheres e lançando-os na cadeia.
5 Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.
5 Disto são testemunhas o sumo sacerdote e todos os anciãos. Deles eu recebi cartas para os irmãos judeus de Damasco, e fui até lá para trazer amarrados a Jerusalém os que também lá estivessem, para serem punidos.
6 And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.
6 — Ora, aconteceu que, enquanto eu viajava, já perto de Damasco, quase ao meio-dia, repentinamente, uma grande luz do céu brilhou ao redor de mim.
7 And when I went down on the earth, a voice came to my ears saying to me, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
7 Então caí por terra, ouvindo uma voz que me dizia: “Saulo, Saulo, por que você me persegue?”
8 And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.
8 Perguntei: “Senhor, quem é você?” Ao que me respondeu: “Eu sou Jesus, o Nazareno, a quem você persegue.”
9 And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.
9 — Os que estavam comigo viram a luz, sem, contudo, perceber o sentido da voz de quem falava comigo.
10 And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
10 Então perguntei: “Senhor, o que devo fazer?” E o Senhor me disse: “Levante-se, entre em Damasco, onde lhe dirão tudo o que você precisa fazer.”
11 And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.
11 Tendo ficado cego por causa da intensidade daquela luz, guiado pela mão dos que estavam comigo, cheguei a Damasco.
12 And one Ananias, a God-fearing man, who kept the law, and of whom all the Jews in that place had a high opinion,
12 — Um homem chamado Ananias, piedoso conforme a Lei, tendo bom testemunho de todos os judeus que ali moravam,
13 Came to my side and said, Brother Saul, let your eyes be open. And in that very hour I was able to see him.
13 veio procurar-me e, chegando perto de mim, disse: “Irmão Saulo, recupere a visão!” Nessa mesma hora, recuperei a visão e olhei para ele.
14 And he said, You have been marked out by the God of our fathers to have knowledge of his purpose, and to see the Upright One and to give ear to the words of his mouth.
14 Então ele disse: “O Deus de nossos pais escolheu você de antemão para conhecer a vontade dele, ver o Justo e ouvir a voz dele.
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.
15 Porque você terá de ser testemunha dele diante de todos, anunciando as coisas que você tem visto e ouvido.
16 And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.
16 E agora, o que está esperando? Levante-se, receba o batismo e lave os seus pecados, invocando o nome dele.”
17 And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,
17 — Quando voltei para Jerusalém, enquanto orava no templo, sobreveio-me um êxtase,
18 And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.
18 e vi o Senhor. Ele me disse: “Ande logo e saia imediatamente de Jerusalém, porque não aceitarão o seu testemunho a meu respeito.”
19 And I said, Lord, they themselves have knowledge that I went through the Synagogues putting in prison and whipping all those who had faith in you:
19 Eu respondi: “Senhor, eles bem sabem que eu ia de sinagoga em sinagoga, prendendo e açoitando os que criam em ti.
20 And when Stephen your witness was put to death, I was there, giving approval, and looking after the clothing of those who put him to death.
20 Quando se derramava o sangue de Estêvão, tua testemunha, eu também estava presente, consentia nisso e até guardei as capas dos que o matavam.”
21 And he said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.
21 Mas ele me disse: “Vá, porque eu o enviarei para longe, aos gentios.”
22 And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.
22 Até este ponto a multidão ficou ouvindo. Mas, quando Paulo disse isso, começaram a gritar bem alto: — Fora com ele! Mate-o, porque ele não merece viver!
23 And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,
23 Enquanto eles gritavam, tiravam as suas capas e jogavam poeira para o ar,
24 The chief captain gave orders for him to be taken into the army building, saying that he would put him to the test by whipping, so that he might have knowledge of the reason why they were crying out so violently against him.
24 o comandante ordenou que Paulo fosse recolhido à fortaleza e que, sob açoite, fosse interrogado para saber por que motivo estavam gritando assim contra ele.
25 And when they had put leather bands round him, Paul said to the captain who was present, Is it the law for you to give blows to a man who is a Roman and has not been judged?
25 Quando o estavam amarrando com correias, Paulo perguntou ao centurião que ali estava: — Será que vocês têm o direito de açoitar um cidadão romano, sem que ele tenha sido condenado?
26 And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.
26 Ouvindo isto, o centurião procurou o comandante e lhe disse: — Que é isso que o senhor está prestes a fazer? Saiba que aquele homem é cidadão romano.
27 And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.
27 Então o comandante veio e perguntou a Paulo: — Diga-me uma coisa: você é romano? Paulo respondeu: — Sou.
28 And the chief captain said, I got Roman rights for myself at a great price. And Paul said, But I had them by birth.
28 E o comandante disse: — Eu tive de gastar muito dinheiro para conseguir essa cidadania. Ao que Paulo respondeu: — Pois eu a tenho de nascença.
29 Then those who were about to put him to the test went away: and the chief captain was in fear, seeing that he was a Roman, and that he had put chains on him.
29 Imediatamente se afastaram os que iam interrogá-lo com açoites. O próprio comandante ficou com medo quando soube que Paulo era romano, porque tinha mandado amarrá-lo.
30 But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.
30 No dia seguinte, querendo certificar-se dos motivos por que Paulo vinha sendo acusado pelos judeus, o comandante o soltou e ordenou que se reunissem os principais sacerdotes e todo o Sinédrio. E, mandando trazer Paulo, apresentou-o diante deles.
