Atos 25
Weymouth NT (WMTH) vs ARC
1 Festus, having entered on his duties as governor of the province, two days later went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
1 Entrando, pois, Festo na província, subiu dali a três dias de Cesareia 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 o sumo sacerdote e os principais dos judeus compareceram perante ele contra Paulo e lhe rogaram,
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, contra ele, que o fizesse vir 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 guardado em Cesareia e que ele 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 Os que, pois, disse, dentre vós têm poder desçam comigo e, se neste varão houver 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 E, não se demorando entre eles mais de dez dias, desceu a Cesareia; e, no dia seguinte, assentando-se no tribunal, mandou que trouxessem 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 Chegando ele, o rodearam os judeus que haviam descido de Jerusalém, trazendo contra Paulo 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 Mas ele, em sua defesa, disse: Eu não pequei em coisa alguma 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 Todavia, Festo, querendo comprazer aos judeus, respondendo a Paulo, disse: Queres tu subir a Jerusalém e ser lá perante mim julgado 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 convém que seja julgado; não fiz agravo algum aos 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 Se fiz algum agravo ou cometi alguma coisa digna de morte, não recuso morrer; mas, se nada há das coisas 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 Cesareia, a saudar 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 ali ficassem muitos dias, Festo contou ao rei os negócios de Paulo, dizendo: Um certo varão foi deixado por Félix aqui preso,
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 dos sacerdotes e os anciãos dos judeus, estando eu em Jerusalém, compareceram perante mim, 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 A eles respondi que não é costume dos romanos entregar algum homem à morte, 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, no dia seguinte, sem fazer dilação alguma, assentado no tribunal, mandei que trouxessem 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 Acerca dele, estando presentes os acusadores, nenhuma coisa apontaram daquelas 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 de sua superstição e de um tal Jesus, defunto, que Paulo afirmava viver.
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 acerca da inquirição desta causa, perguntei se queria ir a Jerusalém e lá ser julgado acerca destas coisas.
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 conhecimento de Augusto, mandei que o guardassem até que o envie 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: Bem quisera eu ouvir também esse homem. E ele disse: 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 tribunos e varões principais da cidade, sendo trazido Paulo por mandado 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 E Festo disse: Rei Agripa e todos os varões que estais presentes conosco, aqui vedes um homem de quem toda a multidão dos judeus me tem falado, tanto em Jerusalém como aqui, clamando que não convém que viva 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 Mas, achando eu que nenhuma coisa digna de morte fizera, e apelando ele mesmo também para Augusto, tenho determinado enviar-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 Dele, porém, não tenho coisa alguma certa que escreva ao meu senhor e, por isso, perante vós o trouxe, principalmente perante ti, ó rei Agripa, para que, depois de interrogado, tenha 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 me parece contra a razão enviar um preso e não notificar contra ele as acusações.
