Atos 22
Bible in Basic English (BBE) vs NVT
1 My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.
1 “Irmãos e pais”, disse Paulo. “Ouçam-me enquanto apresento minha defesa.”
2 And, hearing him talking in the Hebrew language, they became the more quiet, and he said,
2 Quando o ouviram falar em aramaico, o silêncio foi ainda maior.
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 Então Paulo disse: “Sou judeu, nascido em Tarso, cidade da Cilícia. Fui criado aqui em Jerusalém e educado por Gamaliel. Como aluno dele, fui instruído rigorosamente em nossas leis e nos costumes judaicos. Tornei-me muito zeloso de honrar a Deus em tudo que fazia, como vocês são hoje.
4 And I made attacks on this Way, even to death, taking men and women and putting them in prison.
4 E fui ao encalço dos seguidores do Caminho, perseguindo alguns até a morte, prendendo homens e mulheres e lançando-os na prisão.
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 O sumo sacerdote e todo o conselho dos líderes do povo podem confirmar isso. Recebi deles cartas para nossos irmãos judeus em Damasco que me autorizavam a trazer os seguidores do Caminho de lá para Jerusalém, em cadeias, para serem castigados.
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 “Quando me aproximava de Damasco, por volta do meio-dia, de repente uma luz muito intensa brilhou ao meu redor.
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 Caí no chão e ouvi uma voz que me disse: ‘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 “‘Quem és tu, Senhor?’, perguntei. “E a voz respondeu: ‘Sou Jesus, o nazareno,
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 me acompanhavam viram a luz, mas não entenderam a voz daquele que 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: ‘Que devo fazer, Senhor?’. “E o Senhor me disse: ‘Levante-se e entre em Damasco, onde lhe dirão tudo que você deve 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 “A luz intensa havia me deixado cego, e meus companheiros tiveram de levar-me pela mão 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 Vivia ali Ananias, um homem devoto, dedicado à lei e muito respeitado por todos os judeus da cidade.
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 Ele veio, colocou-se ao meu lado e disse: ‘Irmão Saulo, volte a enxergar’. E, naquele mesmo instante, pude vê-lo.
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 antepassados escolheu você para conhecer a vontade dele e para ver o Justo e ouvi-lo falar.
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 Você será testemunha dele, dizendo a todos o que viu e ouviu.
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 O que está esperando? Levante-se e seja batizado! Fique limpo de seus pecados invocando o nome do Senhor’.
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 “Depois que voltei a Jerusalém, estava orando no templo e tive uma visão,
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 na qual o Senhor me dizia: ‘Depressa! Saia de Jerusalém, pois o povo daqui não aceitará 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 “E eu respondi: ‘Senhor, sem dúvida eles sabem que em cada sinagoga eu prendia e açoitava aqueles 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 E quando Estêvão, tua testemunha, foi morto, eu estava inteiramente de acordo. Fiquei ali e guardei os mantos que eles tiraram quando foram apedrejá-lo’.
21 And he said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.
21 “Mas o Senhor me disse: ‘Vá, pois eu o enviarei para longe, para os 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 A multidão ouviu Paulo até ele dizer essa palavra. Então começaram a gritar: “Fora com esse sujeito! Ele não merece viver!”.
23 And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,
23 Gritavam, arrancavam seus mantos e jogavam poeira para o alto.
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 trouxe Paulo para dentro e ordenou que ele fosse açoitado e interrogado a fim de descobrir por que a multidão tinha ficado tão furiosa.
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 amarravam Paulo para açoitá-lo, ele disse ao oficial que estava ali: “A lei permite açoitar um cidadão romano sem que ele tenha sido julgado?”.
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 Ao ouvir isso, o oficial foi ao comandante e perguntou: “O que o senhor está fazendo? Este 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 O comandante perguntou a Paulo: “Diga-me, você é cidadão romano?”. Ele respondeu: “Sim, eu 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 “Eu também”, disse o comandante. “E paguei caro por minha cidadania!” Paulo respondeu: “Mas eu sou cidadão de nascimento”.
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 Quando os soldados que estavam prestes a interrogar Paulo ouviram que ele era cidadão romano, retiraram-se de imediato. Até mesmo o comandante ficou com medo ao saber que Paulo era cidadão romano, pois 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, o comandante ordenou que os principais sacerdotes se reunissem com o conselho dos líderes do povo. Queria descobrir exatamente qual era o problema, por isso soltou Paulo e mandou que o trouxessem diante deles.
