Acts 20
1 Then, after the tumult ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to himself and exhorting them, said farewell. And he set out, so that he might go into Macedonia.
Y después que cesó el alboroto, llamando Pablo a los discípulos, habiéndo los abrazado, se partió para ir a Macedonia.
2 And when he had walked through those areas and had exhorted them with many sermons, he went into Greece.
Y cuando hubo andado por aquellas partes, y les hubo exhortado con abundancia de palabra, vino a Grecia.
3 After he had spent three months there, treacheries were planned against him by the Jews, just as he was about to sail into Syria. And having been advised of this, he return through Macedonia.
Y habiendo estado tres meses allí, y estando para navegar a Siria, fuéronle puestas asechanzas por los Judíos; y tomó consejo de volverse por Macedonia.
4 Now those accompanying him were Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus from Beroea; and also the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia.
Y le acompañaron hasta Asia Sopater de Berea; y de los Tesalonicenses, Aristarco y Segundo; y Gayo de Derbe; y Timoteo; y de Asia, Tíquico y Trófimo.
5 These, after they had gone ahead, waited for us at Troas.
Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.
6 Yet truly, we sailed from Philippi, after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we went to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Y nosotros, pasados los días de los panes sin levadura, navegamos desde Filipos, y vinimos a ellos a Troas en cinco días, donde estuvimos siete días.
7 Then, on the first Sabbath, when we had assembled together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to set out the next day. But he prolonged his sermon into the middle of the night.
Y el primer día de la semana, juntados los discípulos para romper el pan, Pablo les predicaba, habiendo de partir al día siguiente; y alargó su sermón hasta la media noche.
8 Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.
Y había muchas lámparas en el cenadero donde estaban congregados.
9 And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.
Y un mancebo llamado Eutico, que estaba sentado en una ventana, tomado de un sueño profundo, como Pablo razonaba luengamente, derribado del sueño, cayó desde el tercer piso abajo; y fue alzado muerto.
10 When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”
Mas descendiendo Pablo, derribóse sobre él, y abrazándo le, dijo: No os alborotéis, que su vida está en él.
11 And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.
Y subiendo, y rompiendo el pan, y comiendo, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así se partió.
12 Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.
Y trajeron al mancebo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.
13 Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.
Y nosotros subiendo en la nave navegamos a Asos, para recibir de allí a Pablo; porque así lo había determinado, queriendo él mismo ir a pie.
14 And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.
Y como se juntó con nosotros en Asos, tomándole vinimos a Mitilene.
15 And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.
Y navegando de allí, al día siguiente vinimos delante de Chio, y al otro día tomamos puerto en Samo; y habiendo reposado en Trogilio, el día siguiente vinimos a Mileto.
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
Porque Pablo había propuesto de pasar adelante de Efeso, por no detenerse en Asia; porque se apresuraba por estar el día de Pentecostés, si le fuese posible, en Jerusalem.
17 Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.
Y enviando desde Mileto a Efeso, hizo llamar a los ancianos de la iglesia.
18 And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: “You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:
Los cuales como vinieron a él, les dijo: Vosotros sabéis desde el primer día que entré en Asia, como he sido con vosotros por todo el tiempo,
19 serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,
Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad de ánimo, y con muchas lágrimas y tentaciones que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos.
20 how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,
Como nada que os fuese útil, me he retraido de anunciaros, enseñando públicamente, y de casa en casa,
21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Testificando a los Judíos, y también a los Griegos el arrepentimiento hacia Dios, y la fe hacia nuestro Señor Jesu Cristo.
22 And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Y ahora he aquí, que yo, constreñido del Espíritu, voy a Jerusalem sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:
23 except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.
Solo que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo: Que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.
24 But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.
Mas de ninguna de estas cosas hago caso, ni tengo mi vida por cosa preciosa a mí mismo, con tal que acabe mi carrera con gozo, y el ministerio que recibí del Señor Jesús, para dar testimonio del evangelio de la gracia de Dios.
25 And now, behold, I know that you will no longer see my face, all of you among whom I have traveled, preaching the kingdom of God.
Y ahora he aquí, yo sé que ninguno de todos vosotros por entre quienes he pasado predicando el reino de Dios, verá más mi rostro.
26 For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.
Por tanto yo os protesto el día de hoy, que yo estoy limpio de la sangre de todos.
27 For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.
Porque no me he retraido de anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
28 Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.
Por tanto mirád por vosotros, y por todo el rebaño sobre el que el Espíritu Santo os ha puesto por sobreveedores, para apacentar la iglesia de Dios, la cual él ganó con su propia sangre.
29 I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock.
Porque yo sé, que después de mi partida entrarán entre vosotros graves lobos, que no perdonarán al rebaño;
30 And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
Y que de entre vosotros mismos se levantarán también hombres, que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos en pos de sí.
31 Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you.
Por tanto velád, acordándoos que por tres años, de noche y de día, no he cesado de amonestar con lágrimas a cada uno de vosotros.
32 And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.
Y ahora, hermanos, os encomiendo a Dios, y a la palabra de su gracia, la cual es poderosa para edificaros, y daros herencia con todos los que son santificados.
33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,
La plata, o el oro, o el vestido de nadie he codiciado.
34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.
Antes vosotros sabéis, que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y a los que estaban conmigo, estas manos me han servido.
35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
En todo os he enseñado, que trabajando así, debéis sobrellevar a los enfermos, y acordaros del dicho del Señor Jesús, el cual dijo: Más bienaventurado es dar, que recibir.
36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them.
Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, puesto de rodillas oró con todos ellos.
37 Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
Entonces hubo un gran llanto de todos; y derribándose sobre el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.
Doliéndose sobre todo por la palabra que dijo, que no habían de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron hasta la nave.
