Acts 5
1 But there was one of [the believers] whose name was Ananias, and whose wife’s name was Sapphira. He [also] sold some land.
E um certo varão chamado Ananias, com Saphira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade;
2 He kept for himself some of the money [he had received for the land], and his wife knew that he had done that. Then he brought the rest of the money and presented it to the apostles [MTY].
E reteve parte do preço, sabendo-o tambem sua mulher; e, trazendo uma parte d'elle, a depositou aos pés dos apostolos.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, you [(sg)] let Satan completely control you [MTY] so that you [(sg) tried to] deceive the Holy Spirit [and us(exc)]. (That was [terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing]?) [RHQ] [You] have kept for yourself some of the money you [(sg)] received for [selling] the land, [pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it].
Disse então Pedro: Ananias, porque encheu Satanás o teu coração, para que mentisses ao Espirito Sancto, e retivestes parte do preço da herdade?
4 Before you [(sg)] sold that land, you truly owned [RHQ] it. And after you sold it, you could [RHQ] certainly still have used the money any way you wanted [to]. So why did you [(sg) ever] think [RHQ] about doing this [wicked] thing? You were not [merely trying to] deceive us! No, [you tried to deceive] God [himself!]!”
Guardando-a, não ficava para ti? E, vendida, não estava em teu poder? Porque formaste este designio em teu coração? Não mentiste aos homens, mas a Deus
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
E Ananias, ouvindo estas palavras, caiu e expirou. E um grande temor veiu sobre todos os que isto ouviram.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
E, levantando-se os mancebos, pegaram d'elle, e, transportando-o para fóra, o sepultaram.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
E, passando um espaço quasi de tres horas, entrou tambem sua mulher, não sabendo o que havia acontecido.
8 [As] Peter [showed her the money] that [Ananias had brought], he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount [of money you two received for] the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that’s [what we(exc) received].”
E disse-lhe Pedro: Dize-me, vendestes por tanto aquella herdade? E ella disse: Sim, por tanto.
9 So Peter said to her, “[You both did a terrible thing!] You two agreed [RHQ] to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord [God] revealing [to anyone that you two tried to deceive them!] Listen! [Do you(sg) hear the] footsteps [SYN] of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your [corpse] out [to bury it, too]!”
Porém Pedro lhe disse: Porque é que entre vós vos concertastes para tentar o Espirito do Senhor? Eis ahi á porta os pés dos que sepultaram a teu marido, e tambem te levarão a ti.
10 Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter’s feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her [body] out and buried it beside her husband’s [body].
E logo caiu aos seus pés, e expirou. E, entrando os mancebos, acharam-n'a morta, e a sepultaram junto de seu marido.
11 So all the believers [in Jerusalem] became greatly frightened [PRS] [because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And] all [the others] who heard [people tell about] those things also [became greatly frightened].
E veiu um grande temor a toda a egreja, e a todos os que ouviram estas coisas.
12 [God was enabling] the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly [in the temple courtyard] at [the place called] Solomon’s Porch.
E muitos signaes e prodigios eram feitos entre o povo pelas mãos dos apostolos. E estavam todos unanimes no alpendre de Salomão.
13 All of the other people [who had not yet believed in Jesus] were afraid to associate with the believers, [because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers]. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.
E dos outros ninguem ousava ajuntar-se com elles: mas o povo tinha-os em grande estima.
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
E a multidão dos que criam no Senhor, tanto homens como mulheres, crescia mais e mais.
15 [The apostles were doing amazing miracles], so [people] were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that [when] Peter came by [he would touch them, or] at least his shadow might fall upon some of them [and heal them].
De sorte que transportavam os enfermos para as ruas, e os punham em leitos e em camilhas para que a sombra de Pedro, quando passasse, cobrisse alguns d'elles.
16 Crowds of people were also coming [to the apostles] from the towns near Jerusalem. They were bringing their sick [relatives/friends] and those who were being tormented/troubled by evil spirits {whom evil spirits were tormenting/troubling}, and [God] healed all of them.
E até das cidades circumvisinhas concorria a multidão a Jerusalem, conduzindo enfermos e atormentados de espiritos immundos; os quaes todos eram curados.
17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the [local] Sadducee [sect in Jerusalem], became very jealous [of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message].
E, levantando-se o summo sacerdote, e todos os que estavam com elle (que era a seita dos sadduceos), encheram-se de inveja,
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
E lançaram mão dos apostolos, e os pozeram na prisão publica.
19 [The guards did that], but during the night an angel from the Lord [God] opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! [The guards were not aware of what the angel had done].
Mas de noite um anjo do Senhor abriu as portas da prisão, e, tirando-os para fóra, disse:
20 Then the angel said [to the apostles], “Go to the Temple [courtyard], stand there, and tell the people all about [how God can give them eternal] life!”
Ide apresentar-vos no templo, e dizei ao povo todas as palavras d'esta vida.
21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach the people again [about Jesus]. Acts 5:21b-24 Meanwhile, the high priest and those who were with him summoned the other Jewish Council members. Altogether they made up the entire Council of Israel. [After they all gathered together], they sent [guards] to the jail to bring in the apostles.
E, ouvindo elles isto, entraram de manhã cedo no templo, e ensinavam. Chegando, porém, o summo sacerdote e os que estavam com elle, convocaram o conselho, e a todos os anciãos dos filhos d'Israel, e enviaram ao carcere, para que de lá os trouxessem.
22 But when the guards arrived at the jail, they discovered that the apostles were not there. So they returned to the Council, and [one of] them reported,
Mas, tendo lá chegado os servidores, não os acharam na prisão, e, voltando, lh'o annunciaram,
23 “We [(exc)] saw that the jail [doors] were very securely locked, and the guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened [the doors and went in to get those men], none [of them was] inside [the jail]!”
Dizendo: Achámos realmente o carcere fechado, com toda a segurança, e os guardas, que estavam fóra, diante das portas; mas, quando abrimos, ninguem achámos dentro.
24 When the captain of the temple guards and the chief priests heard that, they became greatly perplexed, [wondering] what might result from all this.
Então o capitão do templo e os principaes dos sacerdotes, ouvindo estas palavras, estavam perplexos ácerca do que viria a ser aquillo.
25 Then someone came [from the Temple courtyard] and [excitedly] reported to them, “Listen [to this! Right now] the men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple [courtyard] and they are teaching the people [about Jesus]!”
E, chegando um, annunciou-lhes, dizendo: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo e ensinam ao povo.
26 So the captain [of the Temple guards] went [to the Temple courtyard] with the officers, and they brought the apostles [back to the Council room. But they] did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would [kill them by] throwing stones at them [if they hurt the apostles].
Então foi o capitão com os servidores, e os trouxe, não com violencia (porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo).
27 After [the captain and his officers] had brought [the apostles to the Council room], they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.
E, trazendo-os, os apresentaram ao conselho. E o summo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:
28 He said to them [accusingly], “We [(exc)] strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man [MTY] [Jesus] But [you have disobeyed us, and] you have taught people all over Jerusalem [about him]! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we [(exc)] are the ones who are guilty [MTY] for that man’s death!”
Não vos admoestámos nós expressamente que não ensinasseis n'esse nome? E eis que já enchestes Jerusalem d'essa vossa doutrina, e quereis trazer sobre nós o sangue d'esse homem
29 But Peter, [speaking for himself] and the other apostles, replied, “We [(exc)] have to obey [what] God [commands us to do], not what [you] people [tell us to do]!
Porém, respondendo Pedro e os apostolos, disseram: Mais importa obedecer a Deus do que aos homens.
30 God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors [worshipped], (caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead).
O Deus de nossos paes resuscitou a Jesus, ao qual vós matastes suspendendo-o no madeiro.
31 God has greatly honored Jesus. [He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him] to be the one who will save us and to rule [over our lives! God did this] so that he might enable [us] Israelites [MTY] to turn away from [our] sinful behavior and [that he might] forgive [us for our sins].
Deus com a sua dextra o elevou a Principe e Salvador, para dar a Israel o arrependimento e remissão dos peccados.
32 We [(exc)] tell people about these things [that we know happened to Jesus], and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to [us] who obey him, is also confirming [that these things are true].”
E nós somos testemunhas ácerca d'estas palavras, e tambem o Espirito Sancto, que Deus deu áquelles que lhe obedecem.
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
E, ouvindo elles isto, se enfureciam, e deliberaram matal-os.
34 But [there was a Council member] named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the [Jewish] laws, and all the [Jewish] people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told [guards] to take the apostles out [of the room] for a short time.
Mas, levantando-se no conselho um certo phariseo, chamado Gamaliel, doutor da lei, venerado por todo o povo, mandou que por um pouco levassem para fóra os apostolos;
35 [After the guards had taken the apostles out], he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, [and I will tell you why].
E disse-lhes: Varões israelitas, acautelae-vos, emquanto ao que haveis de fazer ácerca d'esses homens.
36 Some years ago [a man named] Theudas rebelled [against the Roman government]. He told people that he was an important person, and about 400 men joined [him. But he was killed] {[soldiers] killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. [So they] were not able to do anything [that they had planned].
Porque antes d'estes dias levantou-se Theudas, dizendo ser alguem: d'este se acercou o numero de uns quatrocentos homens; o qual foi morto, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos e reduzidos a nada.
37 After that, during the time when they were (writing down names of the people/taking the census) [in order to tax people, a man named] Judas from Galilee [province] rebelled [against the Roman government]. He persuaded some people to accompany him. But [soldiers] killed him, too, and all those who had accompanied him went off in different directions.
Depois d'este levantou-se Judas, o galileo, nos dias do alistamento, e levou muito povo após si; e tambem este pereceu, e todos os que lhe deram ouvidos foram dispersos.
38 So now I say [this] to you: Do not harm these men! Release them! I say this because if [this is just something] that humans have planned, they will not be able to do it. They will fail, [like Theudas and Judas did]
E agora digo-vos: Dae de mão a estes homens, e deixae-os, porque, se esse designio, ou essa obra, é de homens, se desfará,
39 But, if God [has commanded them to do it], you will not be able to prevent them [from doing it, because] you will find out that you are opposing God!” The other members of the Council accepted what Gamaliel said.
Mas, se é de Deus, não podereis desfazel-a; para que não aconteça serdes tambem achados combatendo contra Deus.
40 They told the [temple guards to bring the apostles and flog them. So the guards] brought them [into the Council room] and flogged them. Then the Council members commanded them not to speak to people about [MTY] Jesus, and they released the apostles.
E concordaram com elle. E, chamando os apostolos, e tendo-os açoitado, mandaram que não fallassem no nome de Jesus, e os deixaram ir.
41 So the apostles left the Council. They were rejoicing, because [they knew God] had honored them [by letting people] disgrace them because they were followers [MTY] of Jesus.
Retiraram-se pois da presença do conselho, rogozijando-se de terem sido julgados dignos de padecer affronta pelo nome de Jesus.
42 And every day [the apostles went to] the temple [area] and to various [people’s] houses, [and] they continued [LIT] teaching [people] and telling [them] that Jesus is the Messiah.
E todos os dias, no templo e nas casas, não cessavam de ensinar, e de annunciar a Jesus Christo.
