Atos 25

Weymouth NT (WMTH) vs ARA

ARA Almeida Revista e Atualizada 1993

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

¹ Tendo, pois, Festo assumido o governo da província, três dias depois, subiu de Cesareia para Jerusalém;

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

² e, logo, os principais sacerdotes e os maiorais dos judeus lhe apresentaram queixa contra Paulo e lhe solicitavam,

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 pedindo como favor, em detrimento de Paulo, que o mandasse vir a Jerusalém, armando eles cilada para o matarem na estrada.

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

⁴ Festo, porém, respondeu achar-se Paulo detido em Cesareia; e que ele mesmo, muito em breve, 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, os que dentre vós estiverem habilitados que desçam comigo; e, havendo contra este homem qualquer 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 E, não se demorando entre eles mais de oito ou dez dias, desceu para Cesareia; e, no dia seguinte, assentando-se no tribunal, ordenou que Paulo fosse trazido.

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 Comparecendo este, rodearam-no os judeus que haviam descido de Jerusalém, trazendo muitas e graves acusações contra ele, as quais, entretanto, 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, defendendo-se, proferiu as seguintes palavras: Nenhum pecado cometi contra a lei dos judeus, nem contra o templo, nem contra César.

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 Então, Festo, querendo assegurar o apoio dos judeus, respondeu a Paulo: Queres tu subir a Jerusalém e ser ali julgado por mim a respeito 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 Disse-lhe Paulo: Estou perante o tribunal de César, onde convém seja eu julgado; nenhum agravo pratiquei contra os judeus, como tu 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 Caso, pois, tenha eu praticado algum mal ou crime digno de morte, estou pronto para morrer; se, pelo contrário, não são verdadeiras as coisas de que me acusam, ninguém, para lhes ser agradável, pode entregar-me 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: Para César apelaste, 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 chegaram a Cesareia a fim de saudar 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 Como se demorassem ali alguns dias, Festo expôs ao rei o caso de Paulo, dizendo: Félix deixou aqui preso certo homem,

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 de quem os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos dos judeus apresentaram queixa, estando eu em Jerusalém, pedindo que o condenasse.

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 A eles respondi que não é costume dos romanos condenar quem quer que seja, 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 De sorte que, chegando eles aqui juntos, sem nenhuma demora, no dia seguinte, assentando-me no tribunal, determinei fosse trazido 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 e, levantando-se os acusadores, nenhum delito referiram dos crimes de 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 Traziam contra ele algumas questões referentes à sua própria religião e particularmente a certo morto, chamado Jesus, 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 Estando eu perplexo quanto ao modo de investigar estas coisas, perguntei-lhe se queria ir a Jerusalém para ser ali julgado a respeito disso.

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, havendo Paulo apelado para que ficasse em custódia para o julgamento de César, ordenei que o acusado continuasse detido até que eu 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 também gostaria de ouvir este homem. Amanhã, respondeu ele, 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 De fato, no dia seguinte, vindo Agripa e Berenice, com grande pompa, tendo eles entrado na audiência juntamente com oficiais superiores e homens eminentes da cidade, Paulo foi trazido por ordem de Festo.

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 Então, disse Festo: Rei Agripa e todos vós que estais presentes conosco, vedes este homem, por causa de quem toda a multidão dos judeus recorreu a mim tanto em Jerusalém como aqui, 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 Porém eu achei que ele nada praticara passível de morte; entretanto, tendo ele apelado para o imperador, resolvi mandá-lo ao imperador.

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 Contudo, a respeito dele, nada tenho de positivo que escreva ao soberano; por isso, eu o trouxe à vossa presença e, mormente, à tua, ó rei Agripa, para que, feita a arguição, 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 remeter um preso sem mencionar, ao mesmo tempo, as acusações que militam contra ele.
