Hechos 4
1 Y HABLANDO ellos al pueblo, sobrevinieron los sacerdotes, y el magistrado del templo, y los Saducéos,
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 Resentidos de que enseñasen al pueblo, y anunciasen en Jesus la resurreccion de los muertos.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Y les echaron mano, y los pusieron en la cárcel hasta el dia siguiente; porque era ya tarde.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Mas muchos de los que habian oido la palabra creyeron; y fué el numero de los varones como cinco mil.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Y aconteció al dia siguiente^, que se juntaron en Jerusalem los príncipes de ellos, y los ancianos, y los escribas,
In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 Y Anás, príncipe de los sacerdotes y Caifás, y Juan, y Alejandro, y todos los que eran del linaje sacerdotal:
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Y haciéndolos presentar en medio les preguntaron: ¿Con qué potestad, ó en qué nombre habeis hecho vosotros esto,
When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
8 Entónces Pedro, lleno de Espíritu Santo, les dijo: Príncipes del pueblo, y ancianos de Israel,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 Pues que somos hoy demandados acerca del beneficio [hecho] á un hombre enfermo, de qué manera este haya sido sanado;
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 Sea notorio á todos vosotros, y á todo el pueblo de Israel, que en el nombre de Jesu-Cristo de Nazaret, el que vosotros crucificasteis, y Dios le resucito de los muertos, por él [mismo] este hombre esta en vuestra presencia sano.
may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
11 Este es la piedra reprobada de vosotros los edificadores, la cual es puesta por cabeza del ángulo.
He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
12 Y en ningun otro hay salud; porque no hay otro nombre debajo del cielo dado á los hombres en que podamos ser salvos.
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
13 Entónces viendo la constancia de Pedro y de Juan, sabido que eran hombres sin letras é ignorantes, se maravillaban; y les conocian que habian estado con Jesus.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Y viendo al hombre que habia sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podian decir nada en contra.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Mas les mandaron que se saliesen fuera del concilio; y conferian entre sí,
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Diciendo: Qué hemos de hacer á estos hombres? porque de cierto señal manifiesta ha sido hecha por ellos, notoria á todos los que moran en Jerusalem, y no [lo] podemos negar.
saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 Todavia, porque no se divulgue más por el pueblo, amenacémosles que no hablen de aquí adelante á hombre ninguno en este nombre.
But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Y llamándolos, les intimaron que en ninguna manera hablasen ni enseñasen en el nombre de Jesus.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Entónces Pedro y Juan, respondiendo, les dijeron: Juzgad si es justo delante de Dios obedecer ántes á vosotros que á Dios:
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 Porque no podemos dejar de decir lo que hemos visto y oido.
for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
21 Ellos entónces los despacharon amenazándoles, no hallando ningun modo de castigarles, por causa del pueblo: porque todos glorificaban á Dios de lo que habia sido hecho.
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 Porque el hombre en quien habia sido hecho este milagro de sanidad, era de mas de cuarenta años.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Y sueltos [ellos, ] vinieron á los suyos, y contaron todo lo que los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos les habian dicho.
Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Y ellos, habiéndolo oido, alzaron unánimes la voz á Dios, y dijeron. Señor, tú [eres] el Dios, que hiciste el cielo y la tierra, la mar, y todo lo que en ellos [hay: ]
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
25 Que por la boca de David tu siervo dijiste: ¿Por qué han bramado las gentes, y los pueblos han pensado cosas vanas?
who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
26 Asistieron los reyes de la tierra, y los príncipes se juntaron en uno contra el Señor, y contra su Cristo.
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
27 Porque verdaderamente se juntaron en esta ciudad contra tu santo Hijo Jesus, al cual ungiste, Heródes y Poncio Pilato, con los Gentiles y los pueblos de Israel,
“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
28 Para hacer lo que tu mano y tu consejo habian ántes determinado que habia de ser hecho.
to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
29 Y ahora, Señor, mira sus amenazas, y da á tus siervos que con toda confianza hablen tu palabra:
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 Que extiendas tu mano á que sanidades y milagros y prodigios sean hechos por el nombre de tu santo Hijo Jesus.
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 Y como hubieron orado, el lugar en que estaban congregados tembló; y todos fueron llenos de Espíritu Santo, y hablaron la palabra de Dios con confianza.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Y de la multitud de los que habian creido era un corazon y un alma; y ninguno decia ser suyo algo de lo que poseia, mas todas las cosas les eran comunes.
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 Y los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurreccion del Señor Jesus con gran esfuerzo: y gran gracia era en todos ellos;
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Que ningun necesitado habia entre ellos; porque todos los que poseian heredades ó casas, vendiéndolas, traian el precio de lo vendido, p
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 Y lo ponian á los piés de los apóstoles, y era repartido á cada uno segun que habia menester.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Entónces José, que fué llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre Bernabé, (que es, interpretado, Hijo de consolacion, ) Levita, [y] natural de Cipro,
Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 Como tuviese una heredad, [la] vendió, y trajo el precio, y púso[lo] á los piés de los apóstoles.
having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
