OEB: Open English Bible (US Spelling) (SM_OEB) vs ARA

ARA Almeida Revista e Atualizada 1993

¹ But certain persons came down from Judea, and began to teach the Lord's followers that, unless they were circumcised, in accordance with the custom required by Moses, they could not be saved.

¹ Alguns indivíduos que desceram da Judeia ensinavam aos irmãos: Se não vos circuncidardes segundo o costume de Moisés, não podeis ser salvos.

² This gave rise to a serious dispute, and much discussion, between Paul and Barnabas and these people, and it was therefore settled that Paul and Barnabas and others of their number should go up to Jerusalem, to consult the apostles and officers of the church about the matter under discussion.

² Tendo havido, da parte de Paulo e Barnabé, contenda e não pequena discussão com eles, resolveram que esses dois e alguns outros dentre eles subissem a Jerusalém, aos apóstolos e presbíteros, com respeito a esta questão.

³ The church, therefore, sent them on their journey, and they made their way through Phoenicia and Samaria, telling the story of the conversion of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the followers.

³ Enviados, pois, e até certo ponto acompanhados pela igreja, atravessaram as províncias da Fenícia e Samaria e, narrando a conversão dos gentios, causaram grande alegria a todos os irmãos.

⁴ On their arrival at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the officers, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do.

⁴ Tendo eles chegado a Jerusalém, foram bem-recebidos pela igreja, pelos apóstolos e pelos presbíteros e relataram tudo o que Deus fizera com eles.

⁵ Some of the Pharisees’ party, however, who had become believers in Christ, came forward and declared that they were bound to circumcise converts and to direct them to observe the law of Moses.

⁵ Insurgiram-se, entretanto, alguns da seita dos fariseus que haviam crido, dizendo: É necessário circuncidá-los e determinar-lhes que observem a lei de Moisés.

⁶ The apostles and the officers of the church held a meeting to consider this question.

⁶ Então, se reuniram os apóstolos e os presbíteros para examinar a questão.

⁷ After much discussion, Peter rose and said: “You, my friends, know well that long ago God singled me out — that through my lips the Gentiles should hear the message of the good news, and become believers in Christ.

⁷ Havendo grande debate, Pedro tomou a palavra e lhes disse: Irmãos, vós sabeis que, desde há muito, Deus me escolheu dentre vós para que, por meu intermédio, ouvissem os gentios a palavra do evangelho e cressem.

⁸ Now God, who reads all hearts, declared his acceptance of the Gentiles, by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

⁸ Ora, Deus, que conhece os corações, lhes deu testemunho, concedendo o Espírito Santo a eles, como também a nós nos concedera.

⁹ He made no distinction between them and us, when he purified their hearts by their faith.

⁹ E não estabeleceu distinção alguma entre nós e eles, purificando-lhes pela fé o coração.

¹⁰ Why, then, do you now provoke God, by putting on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our ancestors nor we were able to bear?

¹⁰ Agora, pois, por que tentais a Deus, pondo sobre a cerviz dos discípulos um jugo que nem nossos pais puderam suportar, nem nós?

¹¹ No, it is through the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.”

¹¹ Mas cremos que fomos salvos pela graça do Senhor Jesus, como também aqueles o foram.

¹² Every voice in the assembly was hushed, as they listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they gave an account of all the signs and wonders which God had shown among the Gentiles through them.

¹² E toda a multidão silenciou, passando a ouvir a Barnabé e a Paulo, que contavam quantos sinais e prodígios Deus fizera por meio deles entre os gentios.

¹³ After they had finished speaking, James addressed the Council. “Friends,” he began, “hear what I have to say.

¹³ Depois que eles terminaram, falou Tiago, dizendo: Irmãos, atentai nas minhas palavras:

¹⁴ Simon has described the manner in which God first visited the Gentiles, in order to take from among them a people to bear his name.

¹⁴ expôs Simão como Deus, primeiramente, visitou os gentios, a fim de constituir dentre eles um povo para o seu nome.

¹⁵ And that is in harmony with the words of the prophets, where they say —

¹⁵ Conferem com isto as palavras dos profetas, como está escrito:

¹⁶ ‘“After this I will return; And I will rebuild the house of David which has fallen — Its ruins I will rebuild, And will set it up once more;

¹⁶ Cumpridas estas coisas, voltarei e reedificarei o tabernáculo caído de Davi; e, levantando-o de suas ruínas, restaurá-lo-ei.

¹⁷ That so the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord — Even all the Gentiles on whom my name has been bestowed.”

¹⁷ Para que os demais homens busquem o Senhor, e também todos os gentios sobre os quais tem sido invocado o meu nome,

¹⁸ Says the Lord, as he does these things, foreknown from of old.’

¹⁸ diz o Senhor, que faz estas coisas conhecidas desde séculos.

¹⁹ In my judgment, therefore, we should not add to the difficulties of those Gentiles who are turning to God,

¹⁹ Pelo que, julgo eu, não devemos perturbar aqueles que, dentre os gentios, se convertem a Deus,

²⁰ but we should write to them to abstain from food that has been polluted by being sacrificed to idols, from impurity, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from blood.

²⁰ mas escrever-lhes que se abstenham das contaminações dos ídolos, bem como das relações sexuais ilícitas, da carne de animais sufocados e do sangue.

²¹ For in every town, for generations past, there have been those who preach Moses, read as he is in the Synagogues every Sabbath.”

²¹ Porque Moisés tem, em cada cidade, desde tempos antigos, os que o pregam nas sinagogas, onde é lido todos os sábados.

²² It was then decided by the apostles and the officers, with the assent of the whole church, to choose some of their number, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. Those chosen were Judas (called Barsabas) and Silas, who were leaders among the community.

²² Então, pareceu bem aos apóstolos e aos presbíteros, com toda a igreja, tendo elegido homens dentre eles, enviá-los, juntamente com Paulo e Barnabé, a Antioquia: foram Judas, chamado Barsabás, e Silas, homens notáveis entre os irmãos,

²³ They were bearers of the following letter — ‘The apostles, and the followers who are the officers of the church, send their greetings to the followers of the Lord of Gentile birth in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.

²³ escrevendo, por mão deles: Os irmãos, tanto os apóstolos como os presbíteros, aos irmãos de entre os gentios em Antioquia, Síria e Cilícia, saudações.

²⁴ As we had heard that some of our number had upset you by their assertions, and unsettled your minds — without instructions from us —

²⁴ Visto sabermos que alguns [que saíram] de entre nós, sem nenhuma autorização, vos têm perturbado com palavras, transtornando a vossa alma,

²⁵ We met and decided to choose certain men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,

²⁵ pareceu-nos bem, chegados a pleno acordo, eleger alguns homens e enviá-los a vós outros com os nossos amados Barnabé e Paulo,

²⁶ who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

²⁶ homens que têm exposto a vida pelo nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.

²⁷ We are accordingly sending Judas and Silas, and they will tell you by word of mouth what we are now writing.

²⁷ Enviamos, portanto, Judas e Silas, os quais pessoalmente vos dirão também estas coisas.

²⁸ We have, therefore, decided, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lay no further burden on you beyond these necessary conditions —

²⁸ Pois pareceu bem ao Espírito Santo e a nós não vos impor maior encargo além destas coisas essenciais:

²⁹ That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from impurity. If you guard yourselves against such things, it will be well with you. Farewell.’

²⁹ que vos abstenhais das coisas sacrificadas a ídolos, bem como do sangue, da carne de animais sufocados e das relações sexuais ilícitas; destas coisas fareis bem se vos guardardes. Saúde.

³⁰ So the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the followers,

³⁰ Os que foram enviados desceram logo para Antioquia e, tendo reunido a comunidade, entregaram a epístola.

³¹ and delivered the letter, the reading of which caused great rejoicing by its encouraging contents.

³¹ Quando a leram, sobremaneira se alegraram pelo conforto recebido.

³² Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, further encouraged the them by many an address, and strengthened their faith.

³² Judas e Silas, que eram também profetas, consolaram os irmãos com muitos conselhos e os fortaleceram.

³³ After some stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the followers, and returned to those who had sent them.

³³ Tendo-se demorado ali por algum tempo, os irmãos os deixaram voltar em paz aos que os enviaram.

³⁴ — ausente —

³⁴ [Mas pareceu bem a Silas permanecer ali.]

³⁵ Paul and Barnabas, however, remained in Antioch, where they taught and, with the help of many others, told the good news of the Lord’s message.

³⁵ Paulo e Barnabé demoraram-se em Antioquia, ensinando e pregando, com muitos outros, a palavra do Senhor.

³⁶ Some time after this, Paul said to Barnabas: “Let us go back and visit the Lord's followers in every town in which we have told the Lord’s message, and see how they are prospering.”

³⁶ Alguns dias depois, disse Paulo a Barnabé: Voltemos, agora, para visitar os irmãos por todas as cidades nas quais anunciamos a palavra do Senhor, para ver como passam.

³⁷ Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;

³⁷ E Barnabé queria levar também a João, chamado Marcos.

³⁸ but Paul felt that they ought not to take with them the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to their work.

³⁸ Mas Paulo não achava justo levarem aquele que se afastara desde a Panfília, não os acompanhando no trabalho.

³⁹ This caused such unpleasant feeling between them that they parted ways, Barnabas taking Mark and sailing for Cyprus,

³⁹ Houve entre eles tal desavença, que vieram a separar-se. Então, Barnabé, levando consigo a Marcos, navegou para Chipre.

⁴⁰ while Paul chose Silas for his companion and, after he had been committed by the followers to the gracious care of the Lord,

⁴⁰ Mas Paulo, tendo escolhido a Silas, partiu encomendado pelos irmãos à graça do Senhor.

⁴¹ started on his journey and went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches in the faith.

⁴¹ E passou pela Síria e Cilícia, confirmando as igrejas.
