Atos 22
LEB: The Lexham English Bible (SM_LEB) vs NAA
1 “Men—brothers and fathers—listen to my defense to you now!”
1 — Irmãos e pais, escutem agora o que tenho a dizer em minha defesa.
2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Aramaic language, ⌞they became even more silent⌟. And he said,
2 Quando ouviram que Paulo lhes falava em língua hebraica, fizeram mais silêncio ainda. Paulo continuou:
3 “I am a Jewish man born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law received from our fathers, being zealous for God, just as all of 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 ⌞I⌟ persecuted this Way to the death, tying up and delivering to prison both men and women,
4 Persegui este Caminho até a morte, prendendo homens e mulheres e lançando-os na cadeia.
5 as indeed the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me, from whom also I received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and was traveling there to lead away those who were there also tied up to Jerusalem so that they could be punished.
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 happened that as I was traveling and approaching Damascus around noon, suddenly a very bright light from heaven flashed around 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 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
7 Então caí por terra, ouvindo uma voz que me dizia: “Saulo, Saulo, por que você me persegue?”
8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene whom you are persecuting.’
8 Perguntei: “Senhor, quem é você?” Ao que me respondeu: “Eu sou Jesus, o Nazareno, a quem você persegue.”
9 (Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.)
9 — Os que estavam comigo viram a luz, sem, contudo, perceber o sentido da voz de quem falava comigo.
10 So I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and proceed to Damascus, and there it will be told to you about all the things that have been appointed for you 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 as I could not see as a result of the brightness of that light, I arrived in Damascus led by the hand of those who were with me.
11 Tendo ficado cego por causa da intensidade daquela luz, guiado pela mão dos que estavam comigo, cheguei a Damasco.
12 And a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who live there,
12 — Um homem chamado Ananias, piedoso conforme a Lei, tendo bom testemunho de todos os judeus que ali moravam,
13 came to me and stood by me and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, regain your sight!’ And at that same time I looked up at him and saw 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, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from 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 because you will be a witness for him to all people of what you have seen and heard.
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 delaying? Get up, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on 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 happened that when I returned to Jerusalem and I was praying in the temple courts, I was in a trance,
17 — Quando voltei para Jerusalém, enquanto orava no templo, sobreveio-me um êxtase,
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and depart ⌞quickly⌟ from Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony 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 know that from synagogue to synagogue I was imprisoning and beating those who believed 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 the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself also was standing near and was approving, and was guarding the cloaks of those who were killing him.’
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, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’ ”
21 Mas ele me disse: “Vá, porque eu o enviarei para longe, aos gentios.”
22 Now they were listening to him until this word, and they raised their voices, saying, “Away with such a man from the earth! For it is not fitting for him to live!”
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 screaming and throwing off their cloaks and throwing dust into the air,
23 Enquanto eles gritavam, tiravam as suas capas e jogavam poeira para o ar,
24 the military tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying he was to be examined with a lash so that he could find out for what reason they were crying out against him in this way.
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 But when they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it permitted for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”
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 when the centurion heard this, he went to the military tribune and reported it, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen!”
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 So the military tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” 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 military tribune replied, “I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I indeed was born a citizen.
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 immediately those who were about to examine him kept away from him, and the military tribune also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman citizen and that ⌞he had tied him up⌟.
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 next day, because he wanted to know the true reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul and had him stand 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.
