Atos 27
GOD'S WORD (ENGGW) vs VC
1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were turned over to an army officer. His name was Julius, and he belonged to the emperor’s division.
1 Logo que foi determinado que embarcássemos para a Itália, Paulo foi entregue com outros presos a um centurião da coorte Augusta, chamado Júlio.
2 We set sail on a ship from the city of Adramyttium. The ship was going to stop at ports on the coast of the province of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from the city of Thessalonica, went with us.
2 Embarcamos num navio de Adramito que devia costear as terras da Ásia, e levantamos âncora. Em nossa companhia estava Aristarco, macedônio de Tessalônica.
3 The next day we arrived at the city of Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends and receive any care he needed.
3 No dia seguinte, fazendo escala em Sidônia, Júlio, usando de bondade com Paulo, permitiu-lhe ir ver os seus amigos e prover-se do que havia de necessário.
4 Leaving Sidon, we sailed on the northern side of the island of Cyprus because we were traveling against the wind.
4 Dali, fazendo-nos ao mar, fomos navegando perto das costas de Chipre, por nos serem contrários os ventos.
5 We sailed along the coast of the provinces of Cilicia and Pamphylia and arrived at the city of Myra in the province of Lycia.
5 Tendo atravessado o mar da Cilícia e da Panfília, chegamos a Mira, cidade da Lícia.
6 In Myra the officer found a ship from Alexandria that was on its way to Italy and put us on it.
6 O centurião encontrou ali um navio de Alexandria, que rumava para a Itália, e fez-nos passar para ele.
7 We were sailing slowly for a number of days. Our difficulties began along the coast of the city of Cnidus because the wind would not let us go further. So at Cape Salmone, we started to sail for the south side of the island of Crete.
7 Por muitos dias navegamos lentamente e com dificuldade até diante de Cnido, onde o vento não nos permitiu aportar.
8 We had difficulty sailing along the shore of Crete. We finally came to a port called Fair Harbors. The port was near the city of Lasea.
8 Fomos então costeando ao sul da ilha de Creta, junto ao cabo Salmona. Navegando com dificuldade ao longo da costa, chegamos afinal a um lugar, a que chamam Bons Portos, perto do qual está a cidade de Lasaia.
9 We had lost so much time that the day of fasting had already past. Sailing was now dangerous, so Paul advised them,
9 Passara o tempo - já havia passado a época do jejum - e a navegação se tornava perigosa. Paulo advertiu-os:
10 “Men, we’re going to face a disaster and heavy losses on this voyage. This disaster will cause damage to the cargo and the ship, and it will affect our lives.”
10 Amigos, vejo que a navegação não se fará sem perigo e sem graves danos, não somente ao navio e à sua carga, mas ainda às nossas vidas.
11 However, the officer was persuaded by what the pilot and the owner of the ship said and not by what Paul said.
11 O centurião, porém, dava mais crédito ao piloto e ao mestre do que ao que Paulo dizia.
12 Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men decided to sail from there. They hoped to reach the city of Phoenix somehow and spend the winter there. (Phoenix is a harbor that faces the southwest and northwest winds and is located on the island of Crete.)
12 O porto era impróprio para passar o inverno, pelo que a maior parte deles foi de parecer que se retornasse ao mar, na esperança de chegar a Fenice, para passar ali o inverno, por ser esse um porto de Creta, abrigado dos ventos do sudeste e do nordeste.
13 When a gentle breeze began to blow from the south, the men thought their plan would work. They raised the anchor and sailed close to the shore of Crete.
13 Soprava então brandamente o vento sul. Julgavam poder executar os seus planos. Levantaram a âncora e foram costeando de perto a ilha de Creta.
14 Soon a powerful wind (called a northeaster) blew from the island.
14 Mas, não muito depois, veio do lado da ilha um tufão chamado Euroaquilão.
15 The wind carried the ship away, and we couldn’t sail against the wind. We couldn’t do anything, so we were carried along by the wind.
15 Sem poder resistir à ventania, o navio foi arrebatado e deixamo-nos arrastar.
16 As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely got control of the ship’s lifeboat.
16 Impelidos rapidamente para uma pequena ilha chamada Cauda, conseguimos, com muito esforço, recolher o batel.
17 The men pulled it up on deck. Then they passed ropes under the ship to reinforce it. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank off the shores of Libya, they lowered the sail and were carried along by the wind.
17 Içaram-no e, depois, como meio de segurança, cingiram o navio com cabos. Então, temendo encalhar em Sirte, arriaram as velas e entregaram-se à mercê dos ventos.
18 We continued to be tossed so violently by the storm that the next day the men began to throw the cargo overboard.
18 No dia seguinte, sendo a tempestade ainda mais violenta, atiraram fora a carga.
19 On the third day they threw the ship’s equipment overboard.
19 No terceiro dia, atiramos para fora com as nossas próprias mãos os acessórios do navio.
20 For a number of days we couldn’t see the sun or the stars. The storm wouldn’t let up. It was so severe that we finally began to lose any hope of coming out of it alive.
20 Ora, não aparecendo por muitos dias nem sol nem estrelas e sendo batidos por forte tempestade, tínhamos por fim perdido toda a esperança de sermos salvos.
21 Since hardly anyone wanted to eat, Paul stood among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. You would have avoided this disaster and loss.
21 Desde muito tempo ninguém havia comido nada. Paulo levantou-se no meio deles e disse: Amigos, deveras devíeis ter-me atendido e não ter saído de Creta, e assim evitar esse perigo e essas perdas.
22 Now I advise you to have courage. No one will lose his life. Only the ship will be destroyed.
22 Agora, porém, vos admoesto a que tenhais coragem, pois não perecerá nenhum de vós, mas somente o navio.
23 I know this because an angel from the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood by me last night.
23 Esta noite apareceu-me um anjo de Deus, a quem pertenço e a quem sirvo, o qual me disse:
24 The angel told me, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul! You must present your case to the emperor. God has granted safety to everyone who is sailing with you.’
24 Não temas, Paulo. É necessário que compareças diante de César. Deus deu-te todos os que navegam contigo.
25 So have courage, men! I trust God that everything will turn out as he told me.
25 Por isso, amigos, coragem! Eu confio em Deus que há de acontecer como me foi dito.
26 However, we will run aground on some island.”
26 Vamos dar a uma ilha.
27 On the fourteenth night we were still drifting through the Mediterranean Sea. About midnight the sailors suspected that we were approaching land.
27 Já estávamos na décima quarta noite, pelo mar Adriático, quando, pela meia-noite, os marinheiros pressentiram que estavam perto de alguma terra.
28 So they threw a line with a weight on it into the water. It sank 120 feet. They waited a little while and did the same thing again. This time the line sank 90 feet.
28 Então, atirando a sonda, perceberam que a profundidade era de vinte braças. Depois, um pouco mais adiante, viram que era de quinze braças.
29 Fearing we might hit rocks, they dropped four anchors from the back of the ship and prayed for morning to come.
29 Temendo que déssemos em algum recife, lançaram quatro âncoras da popa, esperando ansiosos que amanhecesse o dia.
30 The sailors tried to escape from the ship. They let the lifeboat down into the sea and pretended they were going to lay out the anchors from the front of the ship.
30 Imediatamente, os marinheiros procuraram fugir e, sob o pretexto de largar as âncoras da proa, lançaram o bote ao mar.
31 Paul told the officer and the soldiers, “If these sailors don’t stay on the ship, you have no hope of staying alive.”
31 Paulo disse ao centurião e aos soldados: Se estes homens não permanecerem no navio, não podereis salvar-vos.
32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.
32 Os soldados cortaram, então, os cabos do bote e deixaram-no cair.
33 Just before daybreak Paul was encouraging everyone to have something to eat. “This is the fourteenth day you have waited and have had nothing to eat.
33 Enquanto ia amanhecendo, Paulo encorajou a todos que comessem alguma coisa, e disse: Já faz hoje catorze dias que estais em jejum, sem comer nada.
34 So I’m encouraging you to eat something. Eating will help you survive, since not a hair from anyone’s head will be lost.”
34 Rogo-vos que comais alguma coisa, no interesse de vossa vida, porque nem um cabelo da cabeça de alguém de vós perecerá.
35 After Paul said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.
35 Tendo dito isso, tomou do pão, pronunciou uma bênção na presença de todos e, depois de parti-lo, começou a comer.
36 Everyone was encouraged and had something to eat.
36 Com isso, todos cobraram ânimo e puseram-se igualmente a comer.
37 (There were 276 of us on the ship.)
37 No navio éramos ao todo duzentas e setenta e seis pessoas.
38 After the people had eaten all they wanted, they lightened the ship by dumping the wheat into the sea.
38 Depois de terem comido à vontade, aliviaram o navio, atirando o trigo ao mar.
39 In the morning they couldn’t recognize the land, but they could see a bay with a beach. So they decided to try to run the ship ashore.
39 Afinal, clareou o dia. Os marinheiros não reconheceram a terra, mas viram uma enseada com uma praia, na qual tencionavam encalhar o navio, caso o pudessem.
40 They cut the anchors free and left them in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that held the steering oars. Then they raised the top sail to catch the wind and steered the ship to the shore.
40 Levantaram as âncoras e largaram ao mesmo tempo as amarras dos lemes. Desfraldaram ao vento a vela mestra e rumaram para a praia.
41 They struck a sandbar in the water and ran the ship aground. The front of the ship stuck and couldn’t be moved, while the back of the ship was broken to pieces by the force of the waves.
41 Mas deram numa língua de terra, e o navio encalhou aí. A proa, encalhada, permanecia imóvel, ao mesmo tempo que a popa se abria com a força do mar.
42 The soldiers had a plan to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming away and escaping.
42 Os soldados tencionavam matar os presos, por temerem que algum deles fugisse a nado.
43 However, the officer wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and swim ashore.
43 O centurião, porém, querendo salvar Paulo, impediu que o fizessem e ordenou que aqueles que pudessem nadar fossem os primeiros a lançar-se ao mar e alcançar a terra.
44 Then he ordered the rest to follow on planks or some other pieces ⌞of wood⌟ from the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.
44 Os demais, uns atingiram a terra em tábuas, outros em cima dos destroços do navio. Desse modo, todos conseguiram chegar à terra, sãos e salvos.
