Atos 16

Almeida Atualizada (Portuguese) AA

1 Chegou também a Derbe e Listra. E eis que estava ali certo discípulo por nome Timóteo, filho de uma judia crente, mas de pai grego;

2 do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos em Listra e Icônio.

3 Paulo quis que este fosse com ele e, tomando-o, o circuncidou por causa dos judeus que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.

4 Quando iam passando pelas cidades, entregavam aos irmãos, para serem observadas, as decisões que haviam sido tomadas pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém.

5 Assim as igrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e dia a dia cresciam em número.

6 Atravessaram a região frígio-gálata, tendo sido impedidos pelo Espírito Santo de anunciar a palavra na Ásia;

7 e tendo chegado diante da Mísia, tentavam ir para Bitínia, mas o Espírito de Jesus não lho permitiu.

8 Então, passando pela Mísia, desceram a Trôade.

9 De noite apareceu a Paulo esta visão: estava ali em pé um homem da Macedônia, que lhe rogava: Passa � Macedônia e ajuda-nos.

10 E quando ele teve esta visão, procuravamos logo partir para a Macedônia, concluindo que Deus nos havia chamado para lhes anunciarmos o evangelho.

11 Navegando, pois, de Trôade, fomos em direitura a Samotrácia, e no dia seguinte a Neápolis;

12 e dali para Filipos, que é a primeira cidade desse distrito da Macedônia, e colônia romana; e estivemos alguns dias nessa cidade.

13 No sábado saímos portas afora para a beira do rio, onde julgávamos haver um lugar de oração e, sentados, falávamos �s mulheres ali reunidas.

14 E certa mulher chamada Lídia, vendedora de púrpura, da cidade de Tiatira, e que temia a Deus, nos escutava e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para atender �s coisas que Paulo dizia.

15 Depois que foi batizada, ela e a sua casa, rogou-nos, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu sou fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa, e ficai ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.

16 Ora, aconteceu que quando íamos ao lugar de oração, nos veio ao encontro uma jovem que tinha um espírito adivinhador, e que, adivinhando, dava grande lucro a seus senhores.

17 Ela, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: São servos do Deus Altíssimo estes homens que vos anunciam um caminho de salvação.

18 E fazia isto por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, perturbado, voltou- se e disse ao espírito: Eu te ordeno em nome de Jesus Cristo que saias dela. E na mesma hora saiu.

19 Ora, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro havia desaparecido, prenderam a Paulo e Silas, e os arrastaram para uma praça � presença dos magistrados.

20 E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeus, estão perturbando muito a nossa cidade.

21 e pregam costumes que não nos é lícito receber nem praticar, sendo nós romanos.

22 A multidão levantou-se � uma contra eles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoitá-los com varas.

23 E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.

24 Ele, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou na prisão interior e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.

25 Pela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, enquanto os presos os escutavam.

26 De repente houve um tão grande terremoto que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere, e logo se abriram todas as portas e foram soltos os grilhões de todos.

27 Ora, o carcereiro, tendo acordado e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido.

28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos aqui estamos.

29 Tendo ele pedido luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas

30 e, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?

31 Responderam eles: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa.

32 Então lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

33 Tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou- lhes as feridas; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.

34 Então os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou- se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus.

35 Quando amanheceu, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros a dizer: Soltai aqueles homens.

36 E o carcereiro transmitiu a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que fosseis soltos; agora, pois, saí e ide em paz.

37 Mas Paulo respondeu-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente sem sermos condenados, sendo cidadãos romanos, e nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fora? De modo nenhum será assim; mas venham eles mesmos e nos tirem.

38 E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras, e estes temeram quando ouviram que eles eram romanos;

39 vieram, pediram-lhes desculpas e, tirando-os para fora, rogavam que se retirassem da cidade.

40 Então eles saíram da prisão, entraram em casa de Lídia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e partiram.

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

2 and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.

3 Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.

5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily .

6 They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

11 So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside , where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord , come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

16 It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

17 Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

18 She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.

19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities,

20 and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

21 and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."

22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

23 When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;

24 and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

26 and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

27 When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!"

29 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

34 And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

35 Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."

36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."

38 The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

39 and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.

40 They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
