25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened. 27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, "Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!"
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas, 30 brought them out, and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household. 34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
25 Pela meia-noite, Paulo e Silas rezavam e cantavam um hino a Deus, e os prisioneiros os escutavam.
26 Subitamente, sentiu-se um terremoto tão grande que se abalaram até os fundamentos do cárcere. Abriram-se logo todas as portas e soltaram-se as algemas de todos.
27 Acordou o carcereiro e, vendo abertas as portas do cárcere, supôs que os presos haviam fugido. Tirou da espada e queria matar-se.
28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz: Não te faças nenhum mal, pois estamos todos aqui.
29 Então o carcereiro pediu luz, entrou e lançou-se trêmulo aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
30 Depois os conduziu para fora e perguntou-lhes: Senhores, que devo fazer para me salvar?
31 Disseram-lhe: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua família.
32 Anunciaram-lhe a palavra de Deus, a ele e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 Então, naquela mesma hora da noite, ele cuidou deles e lavou-lhes as chagas. Imediatamente foi batizado, ele e toda a sua família.
34 Em seguida, ele os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou-se com toda a sua casa por haver crido em Deus.
