Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the emissaries.
E tambem Saulo consentia na morte d'elle. E fez-se n'aquelle dia uma grande perseguição contra a egreja que estava em Jerusalem; e todos foram dispersos pelas terras da Judea e da Samaria, excepto os apostolos.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
E alguns varões piedosos foram enterrar a Estevão, e fizeram sobre elle grande pranto.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
E Saulo assolava a egreja, entrando pelas casas: e, arrastando homens e mulheres, os encerrava na prisão.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Mas os que andavam dispersos iam por toda a parte, annunciando a palavra.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Messiah.
E, descendo Philippe a cidade de Samaria, lhes prégava á Christo.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
E as multidões estavam attentas unanimemente ás coisas que Philippe dizia, porquanto ouviam e viam os signaes que elle fazia;
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralysed and lame were healed.
Pois os espiritos immundos sahiam de muitos que os tinham, clamando em alta voz; e muitos paralyticos e côxos eram curados.
8 There was great joy in that city.
E havia grande alegria n'aquella cidade.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practise sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
E havia um certo varão, chamado Simão, que anteriormente exercera n'aquella cidade a arte magica, e tinha illudido a gente de Samaria, dizendo que era um grande personagem:
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
Ao qual todos attendiam, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior, dizendo: Este é a grande virtude de Deus.
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
E attendiam-n'o a elle, porque já desde muito tempo os havia illudido com artes magicas.
12 But when they believed Philip proclaiming good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Yeshua the Messiah, they were immersed, both men and women.
Mas, como crêram em Philippe que lhes prégava ácerca do reino de Deus, e do nome de Jesus Christo, se baptizavam, tanto homens como mulheres.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being immersed, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
E creu até o mesmo Simão; e, sendo baptizado, ficou de continuo com Philippe; e, vendo os signaes e as grandes maravilhas que se faziam, estava attonito.
14 Now when the emissaries who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and Yochanan to them,
Os apostolos, pois, que estavam em Jerusalem, ouvindo que Samaria recebera a palavra de Deus, enviaram-lhes Pedro e João.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Os quaes, tendo descido, oraram por elles para que recebessem o Espirito Sancto.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua.
(Porque sobre nenhum d'elles tinha ainda descido; mas sómente eram baptizados em nome do Senhor Jesus.)
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Então lhes impozeram as mãos, e receberam o Espirito Sancto.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the emissaries’ hands, he offered them money,
E Simão, vendo que pela imposição das mãos dos apostolos se dava o Espirito Sancto, lhes offereceu dinheiro,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Dizendo: Dae-me tambem a mim esse poder, para que qualquer sobre quem eu pozer as mãos receba o Espirito Sancto.
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Mas disse-lhe Pedro: O teu dinheiro seja comtigo para perdição, pois cuidaste que o dom de Deus se alcança por dinheiro.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Tu não tens parte nem sorte n'esta palavra, porque o teu coração não é recto diante de Deus
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Arrepende-te pois d'essa tua iniquidade, e ora a Deus, para que porventura te seja perdoado o pensamento do teu coração;
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Pois vejo que estás em fel de amargura, e em laço de iniquidade.
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Respondendo, porém, Simão, disse: Orae vós por mim ao Senhor, para que nada do que dissestes venha sobre mim.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Tendo elles pois testificado e fallado a palavra do Senhor, voltaram para Jerusalem, e em muitas aldeias dos samaritanos annunciaram o evangelho.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go towards the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
E o anjo do Senhor fallou a Philippe, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vae para a banda do sul, ao caminho que desce de Jerusalem para Gaza, que é deserta.
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
E levantou-se, e foi; e eis que um homem ethiope, eunucho, mordomo-mór de Candace, rainha dos ethiopes, o qual era superintendente de todos os seus thesouros, e tinha ido a Jerusalem a adorar,
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Regressava, e, assentado no seu carro, lia o propheta Isaias.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
E disse o Espirito a Philippe: Chega-te, e ajunta-te a esse carro.
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
E, correndo Philippe, ouviu que lia o propheta Isaias, e disse: Entendes tu o que lês?
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
E elle disse: Como o poderei eu, se alguem me não ensinar? E rogou a Philippe que subisse e com elle se assentasse.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
E o logar da Escriptura que lia era este: Foi levado como a ovelha para o matadouro, e, como está mudo o cordeiro diante do que o tosquia, assim não abriu a sua bocca.
33 In his humiliation, his judgement was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Na sua humilhação foi tirada a sua sentença; e quem contará a sua geração? porque a sua vida é tirada da terra.
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
E, respondendo o eunucho a Philippe, disse: Rogo-te, de quem diz isto o propheta? De si mesmo, ou d'algum outro?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Yeshua.
Então Philippe, abrindo a sua bocca, e começando n'esta Escriptura, lhe annunciou a Jesus.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being immersed?”
E, indo elles caminhando, chegaram ao pé d'alguma agua, e disse o eunucho: Eis aqui agua; que impede que eu seja baptizado?
E disse Philippe: É licito, se crês de todo o coração. E, respondendo elle, disse: Creio que Jesus Christo é o Filho de Deus
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
E mandou parar o carro, e desceram ambos á agua, tanto Philippe como o eunucho, e o baptizou.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
E, quando sairam da agua, o Espirito do Senhor arrebatou a Philippe, e não o viu mais o eunucho; e, jubiloso, continuou o seu caminho.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Porém Philippe achou-se em Azoto, e, indo passando, annunciou o evangelho em todas as cidades, até que chegou a Cesarea.
