Atos 22
GOD'S WORD (ENGGW) vs VC
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen as I now present my case to you.”
1 Irmãos e pais, ouvi o que vos tenho a dizer em minha defesa.
2 When the mob heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more quiet. Then Paul continued,
2 Quando ouviram que lhes falava em língua hebraica, escutaram-no com a maior atenção.
3 “I’m a Jew. I was born and raised in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia and received my education from Gamaliel here in Jerusalem. My education was in the strict laws handed down by our ancestors. I was as devoted to God as all of you are today.
3 Continuou ele: Eu sou judeu, nasci em Tarso da Cilícia, mas criei-me nesta cidade, instruí-me aos pés de Gamaliel, em toda a observância da lei de nossos pais, partidário entusiasta da causa de Deus como todos vós também o sois no dia de hoje.
4 I persecuted people who followed the way ⌞of Christ⌟: I tied up men and women and put them into prison until they were executed.
4 Eu persegui de morte essa doutrina, prendendo e metendo em cárceres homens e mulheres.
5 The chief priest and the entire council of our leaders can prove that I did this. In fact, they even gave me letters to take to the Jewish community in the city of Damascus. I was going there to tie up believers and bring them back to Jerusalem to punish them.
5 O sumo sacerdote e todo o conselho dos anciãos me são testemunhas. E foi deles que também recebi cartas para os irmãos de Damasco, para onde me dirigi, com o fim de prender os que lá se achassem e trazê-los a Jerusalém, para que fossem castigados.
6 “But as I was on my way and approaching the city of Damascus about noon, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.
6 Ora, estando eu a caminho, e aproximando-me de Damasco, pelo meio-dia, de repente me cercou uma forte luz do céu.
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice asking me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?’
7 Caí por terra e ouvi uma voz que me dizia: Saulo, Saulo, por que me persegues?
8 “I answered, ‘Who are you, sir?’
8 Eu repliquei: Quem és tu, Senhor? A voz me disse: Eu sou Jesus de Nazaré, a quem tu persegues.
9 “The men who were with me saw the light but didn’t understand what the person who was speaking to me said.
9 Os meus companheiros viram a luz, mas não ouviram a voz de quem falava.
10 “Then I asked, ‘What do you want me to do, Lord?’
10 Então eu disse: Senhor, que devo fazer? E o Senhor me respondeu: Levanta-te, vai a Damasco e lá te será dito tudo o que deves fazer.
11 “I was blind because the light had been so bright. So the men who were with me led me into the city of Damascus.
11 Como eu não pudesse ver por causa da intensidade daquela luz, guiado pela mão dos meus companheiros, cheguei a Damasco.
12 “A man named Ananias lived in Damascus. He was a devout person who followed Moses’ Teachings. All the Jews living in Damascus spoke highly of him.
12 Um certo Ananias, homem piedoso e observador da lei, muito bem conceituado entre todos os judeus daquela cidade,
13 He came to me, stood beside me, and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ At that moment my sight came back and I could see Ananias.
13 veio ter comigo e disse-me: Irmão Saulo, recobra a tua vista. Naquela mesma hora pude enxergá-lo.
14 “Ananias said, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the one who has God’s approval, and to hear him speak to you.
14 Continuou ele: O Deus de nossos pais te predestinou para que conhecesses a sua vontade, visses o Justo e ouvisses a palavra da sua boca,
15 You will be his witness and will tell everyone what you have seen and heard.
15 pois lhe serás, diante de todos os homens, testemunha das coisas que tens visto e ouvido.
16 What are you waiting for now? Get up! Be baptized, and have your sins washed away as you call on his name.’
16 E agora, por que tardas? Levanta-te. Recebe o batismo e purifica-te dos teus pecados, invocando o seu nome.
17 “After that, I returned to Jerusalem. While I was praying in the temple courtyard, I fell into a trance
17 Voltei para Jerusalém e, orando no templo, fui arrebatado em êxtase.
18 and saw the Lord. He told me, ‘Hurry! Get out of Jerusalem immediately. The people here won’t accept your testimony about me.’
18 E vi Jesus que me dizia: Apressa-te e sai logo de Jerusalém, porque não receberão o teu testemunho a meu respeito.
19 “I said, ‘Lord, people here know that I went from synagogue to synagogue to imprison and whip those who believe in you.
19 Eu repliquei: Senhor, eles sabem que eu encarcerava e açoitava com varas nas sinagogas os que crêem em ti.
20 When Stephen, who witnessed about you, was being killed, I was standing there. I approved of his death and guarded the coats of those who were murdering him.’
20 E quando se derramou o sangue de Estêvão, tua testemunha, eu estava presente, consentia nisso e guardava os mantos dos que o matavam.
21 “But the Lord told me, ‘Go! I’ll send you on a mission. You’ll go far away to people who aren’t Jewish.’ ”
21 Mas ele me respondeu: Vai, porque eu te enviarei para longe, às nações...
22 Up to that point the mob listened. Then they began to shout, “Kill him! The world doesn’t need a man like this. He shouldn’t have been allowed to live this long!”
22 Haviam-no escutado até essa palavra. Então levantaram a voz: Tira do mundo esse homem! Não é digno de viver!
23 The mob was yelling, taking off their coats, and throwing dirt into the air.
23 Como vociferassem, arrojassem de si as vestes e lançassem pó ao ar,
24 So the officer ordered the soldiers to take Paul into the barracks and told them to question Paul as they whipped him. The officer wanted to find out why the people were yelling at Paul like this.
24 o tribuno mandou recolhê-lo à cidadela, açoitá-lo e submetê-lo a torturas, para saber por que causa clamavam assim contra ele.
25 But when the soldiers had Paul stretch out ⌞to tie him to the whipping post⌟ with the straps, Paul asked the sergeant who was standing there, “Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t had a trial?”
25 Quando o iam amarrando com a correia, Paulo perguntou a um centurião que estava presente: É permitido açoitar um cidadão romano que nem sequer foi julgado?
26 When the sergeant heard this, he reported it to his commanding officer. The sergeant asked him, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen.”
26 Ao ouvir isso, o centurião foi ter com o tribuno e avisou-o: Que vais fazer? Este homem é cidadão romano.
27 The officer went to Paul and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”
27 Veio o tribuno e perguntou-lhe: Dize-me, és romano? Sim, respondeu-lhe.
28 The officer replied, “I paid a lot of money to become a Roman citizen.”
28 O tribuno replicou: Eu adquiri este direito de cidadão por grande soma de dinheiro. Paulo respondeu: Pois eu o sou de nascimento.
29 Immediately, the soldiers who were going to question Paul stepped away from him. The officer was afraid when he found out that he had tied up a Roman citizen.
29 Apartaram-se então dele os que iam torturá-lo. O tribuno alarmou-se porque o mandara acorrentar, sendo ele um cidadão romano.
30 The officer wanted to find out exactly what accusation the Jews had against Paul. So the officer released Paul the next day and ordered the chief priests and the entire Jewish council to meet. Then the officer brought Paul and had him stand in front of them.
30 No dia seguinte, querendo saber com mais exatidão de que os judeus o acusavam, soltou-o e ordenou que se reunissem os sumos sacerdotes e todo o Grande Conselho. Trouxe Paulo e o mandou comparecer diante deles.
