New American Standard Bible NAS
1 Por aquele mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja, para os maltratar;
1
Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.
2 e matou � espada Tiago, irmão de João.
2
And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword.
3 Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. (Eram então os dias dos pães ázimos.)
3
When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread.
4 E, havendo-o prendido, lançou-o na prisão, entregando-o a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada um para o guardarem, tencionando apresentá-lo ao povo depois da páscoa.
4
When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people.
5 Pedro, pois, estava guardado na prisão; mas a igreja orava com insistência a Deus por ele.
5
So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God.
6 Ora quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, nessa mesma noite estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias e as sentinelas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
6
On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.
7 E eis que sobreveio um anjo do Senhor, e uma luz resplandeceu na prisão; e ele, tocando no lado de Pedro, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E caíram-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
7
And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands.
8 Disse-lhe ainda o anjo: Cinge-te e calça as tuas sandálias. E ele o fez. Disse-lhe mais; Cobre-te com a tua capa e segue-me.
8
And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me."
9 Pedro, saindo, o seguia, mesmo sem compreender que era real o que se fazia por intermédio de um anjo, julgando que era uma visão.
9
And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
10 Depois de terem passado a primeira e a segunda sentinela, chegaram � porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e tendo saído, passaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele.
10
When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 Pedro então, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes e de toda a expectativa do povo dos judeus.
11
When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."
12 Depois de assim refletir foi � casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitas pessoas estavam reunidas e oravam.
12
And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 Quando ele bateu ao portão do pátio, uma criada chamada Rode saiu a escutar;
13
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 e, reconhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu o portão, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava lá fora.
14
When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 Eles lhe disseram: Estás louca. Ela, porém, assegurava que assim era. Eles então diziam: É o seu anjo.
15
They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, "It is his angel."
16 Mas Pedro continuava a bater, e, quando abriram, viram-no e pasmaram.
16
But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed.
17 Mas ele, acenando-lhes com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão, e disse: Anunciai isto a Tiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar.
17
But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, "Report these things to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to another place.
18 Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria sido feito de Pedro.
18
Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.
19 E Herodes, tendo-o procurado e não o achando, inquiriu as sentinelas e mandou que fossem justiçadas; e descendo da Judéia para Cesaréia, demorou-se ali.
19
When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.
20 Ora, Herodes estava muito irritado contra os de Tiro e de Sidom; mas estes, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele e obtendo a amizade de Blasto, camareiro do rei, pediam paz, porquanto o seu país se abastecia do país do rei.
20
Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king's chamberlain , they were asking for peace, because their country was fed by the king's country.
21 num dia designado, Herodes, vestido de trajes reais, sentou- se no trono e dirigia-lhes a palavra.
21
On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them.
22 E o povo exclamava: É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem.
22
The people kept crying out, "The voice of a god and not of a man!"
23 No mesmo instante o anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque não deu glória a Deus; e, comido de vermes, expirou.
23
And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
24
But the word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.
25 Barnabé e Saulo, havendo terminando aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando consigo a João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos.
25
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.
