Atos 22
The Common Edition: New Testament (TCE) vs VC
1 »Brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I now offer to you.«
1 Irmãos e pais, ouvi o que vos tenho a dizer em minha defesa.
2 And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they became more quiet. And he said:
2 Quando ouviram que lhes falava em língua hebraica, escutaram-no com a maior atenção.
3 »I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all 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 this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,
4 Eu persegui de morte essa doutrina, prendendo e metendo em cárceres homens e mulheres.
5 as also the high priest and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.
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 »As I made my journey and drew near to 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 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
7 Caí por terra e ouvi uma voz que me dizia: Saulo, Saulo, por que me persegues?
8 And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.
8 Eu repliquei: Quem és tu, Senhor? A voz me disse: Eu sou Jesus de Nazaré, a quem tu persegues.
9 And those who were with me saw the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.
9 Os meus companheiros viram a luz, mas não ouviram a voz de quem falava.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.
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 But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.
11 Como eu não pudesse ver por causa da intensidade daquela luz, guiado pela mão dos meus companheiros, cheguei a Damasco.
12 »A certain Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,
12 Um certo Ananias, homem piedoso e observador da lei, muito bem conceituado entre todos os judeus daquela cidade,
13 came to me, and standing near said to me, Brother Saul, receive your sight! And at that very time I looked up at him.
13 veio ter comigo e disse-me: Irmão Saulo, recobra a tua vista. Naquela mesma hora pude enxergá-lo.
14 Then he said, The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.
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 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
15 pois lhe serás, diante de todos os homens, testemunha das coisas que tens visto e ouvido.
16 Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling 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 »When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance
17 Voltei para Jerusalém e, orando no templo, fui arrebatado em êxtase.
18 and saw him saying to me, Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not 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 And I said, Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in you.
19 Eu repliquei: Senhor, eles sabem que eu encarcerava e açoitava com varas nas sinagogas os que crêem em ti.
20 When the blood of Stephen your witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who were killing 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 And he said to me, Go; for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.«
21 Mas ele me respondeu: Vai, porque eu te enviarei para longe, às nações...
22 Up to this word they listened to him, and then they raised their voices and said, »Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live.«
22 Haviam-no escutado até essa palavra. Então levantaram a voz: Tira do mundo esse homem! Não é digno de viver!
23 And as they were crying out and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
23 Como vociferassem, arrojassem de si as vestes e lançassem pó ao ar,
24 the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and commanded him to be examined by scourging so that he might find out the reason why they were shouting against him that way.
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 they stretched him out with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, »Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?«
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 centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, »What are you about to do? For 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 So the commander came and said to him, »Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?« And he said, »Yes.«
27 Veio o tribuno e perguntou-lhe: Dize-me, és romano? Sim, respondeu-lhe.
28 The commander answered, »I bought this citizenship for a large sum.« Paul said, »But I was born a 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 So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately; and the commander also was afraid when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had put him in chains.
29 Apartaram-se então dele os que iam torturá-lo. O tribuno alarmou-se porque o mandara acorrentar, sendo ele um cidadão romano.
30 But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before 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.
