Atos 12
Weymouth NT (WMTH) vs ARC
1 Now, about that time, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;
1 Por aquele mesmo tempo, o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja para os maltratar;
2 and James, John's brother, he beheaded.
2 e matou à espada Tiago, irmão de João.
3 Finding that this gratified the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also; these being the days of Unleavened Bread.
3 E, vendo que isso agradara aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. E eram os dias dos asmos.
4 He had him arrested and lodged in jail, handing him over to the care of sixteen soldiers; and intended after the Passover to bring him out again to the people.
4 E, havendo-o prendido, o encerrou na prisão, entregando- o a quatro quaternos de soldados, para que o guardassem, querendo apresentá-lo ao povo depois da Páscoa.
5 So Peter was kept in prison; but long and fervent prayer was offered to God by the Church on his behalf.
5 Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão; mas a igreja fazia contínua oração por ele a Deus.
6 Now when Herod was on the point of taking him out of prison, that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards were on duty outside the door.
6 E, quando Herodes estava para o fazer comparecer, nessa mesma noite, estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, ligado com duas cadeias, e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell; and, striking Peter on the side, he woke him and said, »Rise quickly.« Instantly the chains dropped off his wrists.
7 E eis que sobreveio o anjo do Senhor, e resplandeceu uma luz na prisão; e, tocando a Pedro no lado, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa! E caíram-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
8 »Fasten your girdle,« said the angel, »and tie on your sandals.« He did so. Then the angel said, »Throw your cloak round you, and follow me.«
8 E disse-lhe o anjo: Cinge-te e ata as tuas sandálias. E ele o fez assim. Disse-lhe mais: Lança às costas a tua capa e segue-me.
9 So Peter went out, following him, yet could not believe that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he saw a vision.
9 E, saindo, o seguia. E não sabia que era real o que estava sendo feito pelo anjo, mas cuidava que via alguma visão.
10 And passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. This opened to them of itself; and, going out, they passed on through one of the streets, and then suddenly the angel left him.
10 E, quando passaram a primeira e a segunda guarda, chegaram à porta de ferro que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e, tendo saído, percorreram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele.
11 Peter coming to himself said, »Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and has rescued me from the power of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating.«
11 E Pedro, tornando a si, disse: Agora, sei, verdadeiramente, que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo e me livrou da mão de Herodes e de tudo o que o povo dos judeus esperava.
12 So, after thinking things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
12 E, considerando ele nisso, foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitos estavam reunidos e oravam.
13 When he knocked at the wicket in the door, a maidservant named Rhoda came to answer the knock;
13 E, batendo Pedro à porta do pátio, uma menina chamada Rode saiu a escutar.
14 and recognizing Peter's voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing there.
14 E, conhecendo a voz de Pedro, de alegria não abriu a porta, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava à porta.
15 »You are mad,« they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. »It is his guardian angel,« they said.
15 E disseram-lhe: Estás fora de ti. Mas ela afirmava que assim era. E diziam: É o seu anjo.
16 Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement.
16 Mas Pedro perseverava em bater, e, quando abriram, viram-no e se espantaram.
17 But he motioned with his hand for silence, and then described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. »Tell all this to James and the brethren,« he added. Then he left them, and went to another place.
17 E, acenando-lhes ele com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão e disse: Anunciai isto a Tiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar.
18 When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
18 E, sendo já dia, houve não pouco alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que seria feito de Pedro.
19 And when Herod had had him searched for and could not find him, after sharply questioning the guards he ordered them away to execution. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea and remained there.
19 E, quando Herodes o procurou e o não achou, feita inquirição aos guardas, mandou-os justiçar. E, partindo da Judeia para Cesareia, ficou ali.
20 Now the people of Tyre and Sidon had incurred Herod's violent displeasure. So they sent a large deputation to wait on him; and having secured the good will of Blastus, his treasurer, they begged the king to be friendly with them again, because their country was dependent on his for its food supply.
20 E ele estava irritado com os de Tiro e de Sidom; mas estes, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele e obtendo a amizade de Blasto, que era o camarista do rei, pediam paz, porquanto o seu país se abastecia do país do rei.
21 So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;
21 E, num dia designado, vestindo Herodes as vestes reais, estava assentado no tribunal e lhes dirigiu a palavra.
22 and the assembled people kept shouting, »It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!«
22 E o povo exclamava: Voz de Deus, e não de homem!
23 Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the glory to God, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
23 No mesmo instante, feriu-o o anjo do Senhor, porque não deu glória a Deus; e, comido de bichos, expirou.
24 But God's Message prospered, and converts were multiplied.
24 E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.
25 E Barnabé e Saulo, havendo terminado aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando também consigo a João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos.
