Hechos 20
1 Y después que cesó el alboroto, llamando Pablo a los discípulos, habiéndo los abrazado, se partió para ir a Macedonia.
When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples; and, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took his leave, and started for Macedonia.
2 Y cuando hubo andado por aquellas partes, y les hubo exhortado con abundancia de palabra, vino a Grecia.
Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.

4 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.
He was accompanied as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

6 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.
But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week.
7 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.
On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.
8 Y había muchas lámparas en el cenadero donde estaban congregados.
Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,
9 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.
and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.
10 Mas descendiendo Pablo, derribóse sobre él, y abrazándo le, dijo: No os alborotéis, que su vida está en él.
Paul, however, went down, threw himself upon him, and folding him in his arms said, "Do not be alarmed; his life is still in him."
11 Y subiendo, y rompiendo el pan, y comiendo, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así se partió.
Then he went upstairs again, broke bread, and took some food; and after a long conversation which was continued till daybreak, at last he parted from them.
12 Y trajeron al mancebo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.
They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 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.
The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.

Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
15 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.
Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following reached Miletus.
16 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.
For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
17 Y enviando desde Mileto a Efeso, hizo llamar a los ancianos de la iglesia.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the Elders of the Church to come to him.
18 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,
Upon their arrival he said to them, "You Elders well know, from the first day of my setting foot in the province of Asia, the kind of life I lived among you the whole time,
19 Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad de ánimo, y con muchas lágrimas y tentaciones que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos.
serving the Lord in all humility, and with tears, and amid trials which came upon me through the plotting of the Jews--
20 Como nada que os fuese útil, me he retraido de anunciaros, enseñando públicamente, y de casa en casa,
and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,
21 Testificando a los Judíos, y también a los Griegos el arrepentimiento hacia Dios, y la fe hacia nuestro Señor Jesu Cristo.
and urging upon both Jews and Greeks the necessity of turning to God and of believing in Jesus our Lord.
22 Y ahora he aquí, que yo, constreñido del Espíritu, voy a Jerusalem sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:
"And now, impelled by a sense of duty, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 Solo que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo: Que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.
except that the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me that imprisonment and suffering are awaiting me.
24 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.
But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.
25 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.
"And now, I know that none of you among whom I have gone in and out proclaiming the coming of the Kingdom will any longer see my face.
26 Por tanto yo os protesto el día de hoy, que yo estoy limpio de la sangre de todos.
Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible for the ruin of any one of you.
27 Porque no me he retraido de anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
For I have not shrunk from declaring to you God's whole truth.
28 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.
"Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has placed you to take the oversight for Him and act as shepherds to the Church of God, which He has bought with His own blood.
29 Porque yo sé, que después de mi partida entrarán entre vosotros graves lobos, que no perdonarán al rebaño;
I know that, when I am gone, cruel wolves will come among you and will not spare the flock;
30 Y que de entre vosotros mismos se levantarán también hombres, que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos en pos de sí.
and that from among your own selves men will rise up who will seek with their perverse talk to draw away the disciples after them.
31 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.
Therefore be on the alert; and remember that, night and day, for three years, I never ceased admonishing every one, even with tears.
32 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.
"And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace. He is able to build you up and to give you your inheritance among His people.
33 La plata, o el oro, o el vestido de nadie he codiciado.
No one's silver or gold or clothing have I coveted.
34 Antes vosotros sabéis, que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y a los que estaban conmigo, estas manos me han servido.
You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided for my own necessities and for the people with me.
35 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.
In all things I have set you an example, showing you that, by working as I do, you ought to help the weak, and to bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, "'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
36 Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, puesto de rodillas oró con todos ellos.
Having spoken thus, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all;
37 Entonces hubo un gran llanto de todos; y derribándose sobre el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,
38 Doliéndose sobre todo por la palabra que dijo, que no habían de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron hasta la nave.
grieved above all things at his having told them that after that day they were no longer to see his face. And they went with him to the ship.
