1 Um homem em Cesaréia, por nome Cornélio, centurião da coorte chamada italiana,
1
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment.
2 piedoso e temente a Deus com toda a sua casa, e que fazia muitas esmolas ao povo e de contínuo orava a Deus,
2
He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.
3 cerca da hora nona do dia, viu claramente em visão um anjo de Deus, que se dirigia para ele e lhe dizia: Cornélio!
3
One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Este, fitando nele os olhos e atemorizado, perguntou: Que é, Senhor? O anjo respondeu-lhe: As tuas orações e as tuas esmolas têm subido para memória diante de Deus;
4
Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.
5 agora, pois, envia homens a Jope e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro;
5
Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 este se acha hospedado com um certo Simão, curtidor, cuja casa fica � beira-mar. [Ele te dirá o que deves fazer.]
6
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 Logo que se retirou o anjo que lhe falava, Cornélio chamou dois dos seus domésticos e um piedoso soldado dos que estavam a seu serviço;
7
When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants.
8 e, havendo contado tudo, os enviou a Jope.
8
He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 No dia seguinte, indo eles seu caminho e estando já perto da cidade, subiu Pedro ao eirado para orar, cerca de hora sexta.
9
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10 E tendo fome, quis comer; mas enquanto lhe preparavam a comida, sobreveio-lhe um êxtase,
10
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 e via o céu aberto e um objeto descendo, como se fosse um grande lençol, sendo baixado pelas quatro pontas sobre a terra,
11
He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 no qual havia de todos os quadrúpedes e répteis da terra e aves do céu.
12
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.
13 E uma voz lhe disse: Levanta-te, Pedro, mata e come.
13
Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 Mas Pedro respondeu: De modo nenhum, Senhor, porque nunca comi coisa alguma comum e imunda.
14
“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 Pela segunda vez lhe falou a voz: Não chames tu comum ao que Deus purificou.
15
The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16 Sucedeu isto por três vezes; e logo foi o objeto recolhido ao céu.
16
This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
17 Enquanto Pedro refletia, perplexo, sobre o que seria a visão que tivera, eis que os homens enviados por Cornélio, tendo perguntado pela casa de Simão, pararam � porta.
17
While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate.
18 E, chamando, indagavam se ali estava hospedado Simão, que tinha por sobrenome Pedro.
18
They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
19 Estando Pedro ainda a meditar sobre a visão, o Espírito lhe disse: Eis que dois homens te procuram.
19
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three men are looking for you.
20 Levanta-te, pois, desce e vai com eles, nada duvidando; porque eu tos enviei.
20
So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
21 E descendo Pedro ao encontro desses homens, disse: Sou eu a quem procurais; qual é a causa por que viestes?
21
Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”
22 Eles responderam: O centurião Cornélio, homem justo e temente a Deus e que tem bom testemunho de toda a nação judaica, foi avisado por um santo anjo para te chamar � sua casa e ouvir as tuas palavras.
22
The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”
23 Pedro, pois, convidando-os a entrar, os hospedou. No dia seguinte levantou-se e partiu com eles, e alguns irmãos, dentre os de Jope, o acompanharam.
23
Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along.
24 No outro dia entrou em Cesaréia. E Cornélio os esperava, tendo reunido os seus parentes e amigos mais íntimos.
24
The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Quando Pedro ia entrar, veio-lhe Cornélio ao encontro e, prostrando-se a seus pés, o adorou.
25
As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence.
26 Mas Pedro o ergueu, dizendo: Levanta-te, que eu também sou homem.
26
But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 E conversando com ele, entrou e achou muitos reunidos,
27
While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
28 e disse-lhes: Vós bem sabeis que não é lícito a um judeu ajuntar-se ou chegar-se a estrangeiros; mas Deus mostrou-me que a nenhum homem devo chamar comum ou imundo;
28
He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.
29 pelo que, sendo chamado, vim sem objeção. Pergunto pois: Por que razão mandastes chamar-me?
29
So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”
30 Então disse Cornélio: Faz agora quatro dias que eu estava orando em minha casa � hora nona, e eis que diante de mim se apresentou um homem com vestiduras resplandescentes,
30
Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me
31 e disse: Cornélio, a tua oração foi ouvida, e as tuas esmolas estão em memória diante de Deus.
31
and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor.
32 Envia, pois, a Jope e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro; ele está hospedado em casa de Simão, curtidor, � beira-mar.
32
Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’
33 Portanto mandei logo chamar-te, e bem fizeste em vir. Agora pois estamos todos aqui presentes diante de Deus, para ouvir tudo quanto te foi ordenado pelo Senhor.
33
So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
34 Então Pedro, tomando a palavra, disse: Na verdade reconheço que Deus não faz acepção de pessoas;
34
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
35 mas que lhe é aceitável aquele que, em qualquer nação, o teme e pratica o que é justo.
35
but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
36 A palavra que ele enviou aos filhos de Israel, anunciando a paz por Jesus Cristo (este é o Senhor de todos) -
36
You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 esta palavra, vós bem sabeis, foi proclamada por toda a Judéia, começando pela Galiléia, depois do batismo que João pregou,
37
You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—
38 concernente a Jesus de Nazaré, como Deus o ungiu com o Espírito Santo e com poder; o qual andou por toda parte, fazendo o bem e curando a todos os oprimidos do Diabo, porque Deus era com ele.
38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 Nós somos testemunhas de tudo quanto fez, tanto na terra dos judeus como em Jerusalém; ao qual mataram, pendurando-o num madeiro.
39
“We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,
40 A este ressuscitou Deus ao terceiro dia e lhe concedeu que se manifestasse,
40
but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.
41 não a todo povo, mas �s testemunhas predeterminadas por Deus, a nós, que comemos e bebemos juntamente com ele depois que ressurgiu dentre os mortos;
41
He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 este nos mandou pregar ao povo, e testificar que ele é o que por Deus foi constituído juiz dos vivos e dos mortos.
42
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.
43 A ele todos os profetas dão testemunho de que todo o que nele crê receberá a remissão dos pecados pelo seu nome.
43
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
44 Enquanto Pedro ainda dizia estas coisas, desceu o Espírito Santo sobre todos os que ouviam a palavra.
44
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
45 Os crentes que eram de circuncisão, todos quantos tinham vindo com Pedro, maravilharam-se de que também sobre os gentios se derramasse o dom do Espírito Santo;
45
The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles.
46 porque os ouviam falar línguas e magnificar a Deus.
46
For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,
47 Respondeu então Pedro: Pode alguém porventura recusar a água para que não sejam batizados estes que também, como nós, receberam o Espírito Santo?
47
“Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
48 Mandou, pois, que fossem batizados em nome de Jesus Cristo. Então lhe rogaram que ficasse com eles por alguns dias.
48
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
