Atos 25

Weymouth NT (WMTH) vs ARIB

ARIB Almeida Revisada Imprensa Bíblica

¹ Festus, having entered on his duties as governor of the province, two days later went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

¹ Tendo, pois, entrado Festo na província, depois de três dias subiu de Cesaréia a Jerusalém.

² The High Priests and the leading men among the Jews immediately made representations to him against Paul, and begged him–

² E os principais sacerdotes e os mais eminentes judeus fizeram-lhe queixa contra Paulo e, em detrimento deste,

³ asking it as a favour, to Paul's prejudice–to have him brought to Jerusalem. They were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

³ lhe rogavam o favor de o mandar a Jerusalém, armando ciladas para o matarem no caminho.

⁴ Festus, however, replied that Paul was in custody in Caesarea, and that he was himself going there very soon.

⁴ Mas Festo respondeu que Paulo estava detido em Cesaréia, e que ele mesmo brevemente partiria para lá.

⁵ »Therefore let those of you,« he said, »who can come, go down with me, and impeach the man, if there is anything amiss in him.«

⁵ Portanto, disse ele às autoridades dentre vós desçam comigo e, se há nesse homem algum crime, acusem-no.

⁶ After a stay of eight or ten days in Jerusalem –not more– he went down to Caesarea; and the next day, taking his seat on the tribunal, he ordered Paul to be brought in.

⁶ Tendo-se demorado entre eles não mais de oito ou dez dias, desceu a Cesaréia; e no dia seguinte, sentando-se no tribunal, mandou trazer Paulo.

⁷ Upon Paul's arrival, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him, and brought many grave charges against him which they were unable to substantiate.

⁷ Tendo ele comparecido, rodearam-no os judeus que haviam descido de Jerusalém, trazendo contra ele muitas e graves acusações, que não podiam provar.

⁸ But, in reply, Paul said, »Neither against the Jewish Law, nor against the Temple, nor against Caesar, have I committed any offence whatever.«

⁸ Paulo, porém, respondeu em sua defesa: Nem contra a lei dos judeus, nem contra o templo, nem contra César, tenho pecado em coisa alguma.

⁹ Then Festus, being anxious to gratify the Jews, asked Paul, »Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there stand your trial before me on these charges?«

⁹ Todavia Festo, querendo agradar aos judeus, respondendo a Paulo, disse: Queres subir a Jerusalém e ali ser julgado perante mim acerca destas coisas?

¹⁰ »I am standing before Caesar's tribunal,« replied Paul, »where alone I ought to be tried. The Jews have no real ground of complaint against me, as in fact you yourself are beginning to see more clearly.

¹⁰ Mas Paulo disse: Estou perante o tribunal de César, onde devo ser julgado; nenhum mal fiz aos judeus, como muito bem sabes.

¹¹ If, however, I have done wrong and have committed any offence for which I deserve to die, I do not ask to be excused that penalty. But if there is no truth in what these men allege against me, no one has the right to give me up to them as a favour. I appeal to Caesar.«

¹¹ Se, pois, sou malfeitor e tenho cometido alguma coisa digna de morte, não recuso morrer; mas se nada há daquilo de que estes me acusam, ninguém me pode entregar a eles; apelo para César.

¹² Then, after conferring with the Council, Festus replied, »To Caesar you have appealed: to Caesar you shall go.«

¹² Então Festo, tendo falado com o conselho, respondeu: Apelaste para César; para César irás.

¹³ A short time after this, Agrippa the king and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay a complimentary visit to Festus;

¹³ Passados alguns dias, o rei Agripa e Berenice vieram a Cesaréia em visita de saudação a Festo.

¹⁴ and, during their rather long stay, Festus laid Paul's case before the king. »There is a man here,« he said, »whom Felix left a prisoner,

¹⁴ E, como se demorassem ali muitos dias, Festo expôs ao rei o caso de Paulo, dizendo: Há aqui certo homem que foi deixado preso por Félix,

¹⁵ about whom, when I went to Jerusalem, the High Priests and the Elders of the Jews made representations to me, begging that sentence might be pronounced against him.

¹⁵ a respeito do qual, quando estive em Jerusalém, os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos dos judeus me fizeram queixas, pedindo sentença contra ele;

¹⁶ My reply was that it is not the custom among the Romans to give up any one for punishment before the accused has had his accusers face to face, and has had an opportunity of defending himself against the charge which has been brought against him.

¹⁶ aos quais respondi que não é costume dos romanos condenar homem algum sem que o acusado tenha presentes os seus acusadores e possa defender-se da acusação.

¹⁷ »When, therefore, a number of them came here, the next day I took my seat on the tribunal, without any loss of time, and ordered the man to be brought in.«

¹⁷ Quando então eles se haviam reunido aqui, sem me demorar, no dia seguinte sentei-me no tribunal e mandei trazer o homem;

¹⁸ But, when his accusers stood up, they did not charge him with the misdemeanours of which I had been suspecting him.

¹⁸ contra o qual os acusadores, levantando-se, não apresentaram acusação alguma das coisas perversas que eu suspeitava;

¹⁹ But they quarrelled with him about certain matters connected with their own religion, and about one Jesus who had died, but –so Paul persistently maintained– is now alive.

¹⁹ tinham, porém, contra ele algumas questões acerca da sua religião e de um tal Jesus defunto, que Paulo afirmava estar vivo.

²⁰ I was at a loss how to investigate such questions, and asked Paul whether he would care to go to Jerusalem and there stand his trial on these matters.

²⁰ E, estando eu perplexo quanto ao modo de investigar estas coisas, perguntei se não queria ir a Jerusalém e ali ser julgado no tocante às mesmas.

²¹ But when Paul appealed to have his case kept for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in prison until I could send him up to Caesar.«

²¹ Mas apelando Paulo para que fosse reservado ao julgamento do imperador, mandei que fosse detido até que o enviasse a César.

²² »I should like to hear the man myself,« said Agrippa. »to-morrow,« replied Festus, »you shall.« Accordingly, the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came in state

²² Então Agripa disse a Festo: Eu bem quisera ouvir esse homem. Respondeu-lhe ele: Amanhã o ouvirás.

²³ and took their seats in the Judgement Hall, attended by the Tribunes and the men of high rank in the city; and, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

²³ No dia seguinte vindo Agripa e Berenice, com muito aparato, entraram no auditório com os chefes militares e homens principais da cidade; então, por ordem de Festo, Paulo foi trazido.

²⁴ Then Festus said, »King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see here the man about whom the whole nation of the Jews made suit to me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

²⁴ Disse Festo: Rei Agripa e vós todos que estais presentes conosco, vedes este homem por causa de quem toda a multidão dos judeus, tanto em Jerusalém como aqui, recorreu a mim, clamando que não convinha que ele vivesse mais.

²⁵ I could not discover that he had done anything for which he deserved to die; but as he has himself appealed to the Emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.

²⁵ Eu, porém, achei que ele não havia praticado coisa alguma digna de morte; mas havendo ele apelado para o imperador, resolvi remeter-lho.

²⁶ I have nothing very definite, however, to tell our Sovereign about him. So I have brought the man before you all –and especially before you, King Agrippa– that after he has been examined I may find something which I can put into writing.

²⁶ Do qual não tenho coisa certa que escreva a meu senhor, e por isso perante vós o trouxe, principalmente perante ti, ó rei Agripa, para que, depois de feito o interrogatório, tenha eu alguma coisa que escrever.

²⁷ For, when sending a prisoner to Rome, it seems to me to be absurd not to state the charges against him.«

²⁷ Porque não me parece razoável enviar um preso, e não notificar as acusações que há contra ele.
