¹There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

¹Um homem em Cesaréia, por nome Cornélio, centurião da coorte chamada italiana,

²A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

²piedoso e temente a Deus com toda a sua casa, e que fazia muitas esmolas ao povo e de contínuo orava a Deus,

³He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

³cerca da hora nona do dia, viu claramente em visão um anjo de Deus, que se dirigia para ele e lhe dizia: Cornélio!

⁴And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

⁴Este, 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;

⁵And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

⁵agora, pois, envia homens a Jope e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro;

⁶He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

⁶este se acha hospedado com um certo Simão, curtidor, cuja casa fica � beira-mar. [Ele te dirá o que deves fazer.]

⁷And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

⁷Logo que se retirou o anjo que lhe falava, Cornélio chamou dois dos seus domésticos e um piedoso soldado dos que estavam a seu serviço;

⁸And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁸e, havendo contado tudo, os enviou a Jope.

⁹On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

⁹No dia seguinte, indo eles seu caminho e estando já perto da cidade, subiu Pedro ao eirado para orar, cerca de hora sexta.

¹⁰And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

¹⁰E tendo fome, quis comer; mas enquanto lhe preparavam a comida, sobreveio-lhe um êxtase,

¹¹And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

¹¹e via o céu aberto e um objeto descendo, como se fosse um grande lençol, sendo baixado pelas quatro pontas sobre a terra,

¹²Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

¹²no qual havia de todos os quadrúpedes e répteis da terra e aves do céu.

¹³And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

¹³E uma voz lhe disse: Levanta-te, Pedro, mata e come.

¹⁴But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

¹⁴Mas Pedro respondeu: De modo nenhum, Senhor, porque nunca comi coisa alguma comum e imunda.

¹⁵And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

¹⁵Pela segunda vez lhe falou a voz: Não chames tu comum ao que Deus purificou.

¹⁶This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

¹⁶Sucedeu isto por três vezes; e logo foi o objeto recolhido ao céu.

¹⁷Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

¹⁷Enquanto 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.

¹⁸And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

¹⁸E, chamando, indagavam se ali estava hospedado Simão, que tinha por sobrenome Pedro.

¹⁹While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

¹⁹Estando Pedro ainda a meditar sobre a visão, o Espírito lhe disse: Eis que dois homens te procuram.

²⁰Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

²⁰Levanta-te, pois, desce e vai com eles, nada duvidando; porque eu tos enviei.

²¹Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

²¹E descendo Pedro ao encontro desses homens, disse: Sou eu a quem procurais; qual é a causa por que viestes?

²²And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

²²Eles 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.

²³Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

²³Pedro, 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.

²⁴And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

²⁴No outro dia entrou em Cesaréia. E Cornélio os esperava, tendo reunido os seus parentes e amigos mais íntimos.

²⁵And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

²⁵Quando Pedro ia entrar, veio-lhe Cornélio ao encontro e, prostrando-se a seus pés, o adorou.

²⁶But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁶Mas Pedro o ergueu, dizendo: Levanta-te, que eu também sou homem.

²⁷And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁷E conversando com ele, entrou e achou muitos reunidos,

²⁸And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁸e 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;

²⁹Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

²⁹pelo que, sendo chamado, vim sem objeção. Pergunto pois: Por que razão mandastes chamar-me?

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³⁰Então 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,

³¹And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³¹e disse: Cornélio, a tua oração foi ouvida, e as tuas esmolas estão em memória diante de Deus.

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

³²Envia, pois, a Jope e manda chamar a Simão, que tem por sobrenome Pedro; ele está hospedado em casa de Simão, curtidor, � beira-mar.

³³Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³³Portanto 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.

³⁴Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁴Então Pedro, tomando a palavra, disse: Na verdade reconheço que Deus não faz acepção de pessoas;

³⁵But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

³⁵mas que lhe é aceitável aquele que, em qualquer nação, o teme e pratica o que é justo.

³⁶The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

³⁶A palavra que ele enviou aos filhos de Israel, anunciando a paz por Jesus Cristo (este é o Senhor de todos) -

³⁷That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

³⁷esta palavra, vós bem sabeis, foi proclamada por toda a Judéia, começando pela Galiléia, depois do batismo que João pregou,

³⁸How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

³⁸concernente 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.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

³⁹Nós somos testemunhas de tudo quanto fez, tanto na terra dos judeus como em Jerusalém; ao qual mataram, pendurando-o num madeiro.

⁴⁰Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

⁴⁰A este ressuscitou Deus ao terceiro dia e lhe concedeu que se manifestasse,

⁴¹Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

⁴¹não a todo povo, mas �s testemunhas predeterminadas por Deus, a nós, que comemos e bebemos juntamente com ele depois que ressurgiu dentre os mortos;

⁴²And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

⁴²este nos mandou pregar ao povo, e testificar que ele é o que por Deus foi constituído juiz dos vivos e dos mortos.

⁴³To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

⁴³A ele todos os profetas dão testemunho de que todo o que nele crê receberá a remissão dos pecados pelo seu nome.

⁴⁴While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

⁴⁴Enquanto Pedro ainda dizia estas coisas, desceu o Espírito Santo sobre todos os que ouviam a palavra.

⁴⁵And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

⁴⁵Os 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;

⁴⁶For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

⁴⁶porque os ouviam falar línguas e magnificar a Deus.

⁴⁷Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

⁴⁷Respondeu então Pedro: Pode alguém porventura recusar a água para que não sejam batizados estes que também, como nós, receberam o Espírito Santo?

⁴⁸And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

⁴⁸Mandou, pois, que fossem batizados em nome de Jesus Cristo. Então lhe rogaram que ficasse com eles por alguns dias.
