1 Depois disto Paulo partiu para Atenas e chegou a Corinto.
1
After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 E encontrando um judeu por nome Áqüila, natural do Ponto, que pouco antes viera da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (porque Cláudio tinha decretado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), foi ter com eles,
2
There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,
3 e, por ser do mesmo ofício, com eles morava, e juntos trabalhavam; pois eram, por ofício, fabricantes de tendas.
3
and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
4 Ele discutia todos os sábados na sinagoga, e persuadia a judeus e gregos.
4
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 Quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, Paulo dedicou- se inteiramente � palavra, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo.
5
When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 Como estes, porém, se opusessem e proferissem injúrias, sacudiu ele as vestes e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo, e desde agora vou para os gentios.
6
But when they opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 E saindo dali, entrou em casa de um homem temente a Deus, chamado Tito Justo, cuja casa ficava junto da sinagoga.
7
Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.
8 Crispo, chefe da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; e muitos dos coríntios, ouvindo, criam e eram batizados.
8
Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 E de noite disse o Senhor em visão a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala e não te cales;
9
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
10 porque eu estou contigo e ninguém te acometerá para te fazer mal, pois tenho muito povo nesta cidade.
10
For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 E ficou ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.
11
So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
12 Sendo Gálio procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus de comum acordo contra Paulo, e o levaram ao tribunal,
12
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment.
13 dizendo: Este persuade os homens a render culto a Deus de um modo contrário � lei.
13
“This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 E, quando Paulo estava para abrir a boca, disse Gálio aos judeus: Se de fato houvesse, ó judeus, algum agravo ou crime perverso, com razão eu vos sofreria;
14
Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
15 mas, se são questões de palavras, de nomes, e da vossa lei, disso cuidai vós mesmos; porque eu não quero ser juiz destas coisas.
15
But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”
16 E expulsou-os do tribunal.
16
So he drove them off.
17 Então todos agarraram Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancavam diante do tribunal; e Gálio não se importava com nenhuma dessas coisas.
17
Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
18 Paulo, tendo ficado ali ainda muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria, e com ele Priscila e Áqüila, havendo rapado a cabeça em Cencréia, porque tinha voto.
18
Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.
19 E eles chegaram a Éfeso, onde Paulo os deixou; e tendo entrado na sinagoga, discutia com os judeus.
19
They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Estes rogavam que ficasse por mais algum tempo, mas ele não anuiu,
20
When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined.
21 antes se despediu deles, dizendo: Se Deus quiser, de novo voltarei a vós; e navegou de Éfeso.
21
But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Tendo chegado a Cesaréia, subiu a Jerusalém e saudou a igreja, e desceu a Antioquia.
22
When he landed at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.
23 E, tendo demorado ali algum tempo, partiu, passando sucessivamente pela região da Galácia e da Frígia, fortalecendo a todos os discípulos.
23
After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Ora, chegou a Éfeso certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloqüente e poderoso nas Escrituras.
24
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.
25 Era ele instruído no caminho do Senhor e, sendo fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava com precisão as coisas concernentes a Jesus, conhecendo entretanto somente o batismo de João.
25
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Ele começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga: mas quando Priscila e Áqüila o ouviram, levaram-no consigo e lhe expuseram com mais precisão o caminho de Deus.
26
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
27 Querendo ele passar � Acáia, os irmãos o animaram e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; e tendo ele chegado, auxiliou muito aos que pela graça haviam crido.
27
When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers and sisters encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
28 Pois com grande poder refutava publicamente os judeus, demonstrando pelas escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.
28
For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
