Hechos 13
1 HABÍA entonces en la iglesia que estaba en Antioquía, profetas y doctores: Bernabé, y Simón el que se llamaba Niger, y Lucio Cireneo, y Manahén, que había sido criado con Herodes el tetrarca, y Saulo.
Now in the church in Antioch, there were some prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon (who is called Niger), Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 Ministrando pues éstos al Señor, y ayunando, dijo el Espíritu Santo: Apartadme á Bernabé y á Saulo para la obra para la cual los he llamado.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
3 Entonces habiendo ayunado y orado, y puesto las manos encima de ellos, despidiéronlos.
After they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on these men, they sent them off.
4 Y ellos, enviados así por el Espíritu Santo, descendieron á Seleucia; y de allí navegaron á Cipro.
So Barnabas and Saul obeyed the Holy Spirit and went down to Seleucia; from there they sailed to the island of Cyprus.
5 Y llegados á Salamina, anunciaban la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas de los Judíos: y tenían también á Juan en el ministerio.
When they were in the city of Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John Mark as their assistant.
6 Y habiendo atravesado toda la isla hasta Papho, hallaron un hombre mago, falso profeta, Judío, llamado Barjesús;
When they had gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar Jesus.
7 El cual estaba con el procónsul Sergio Paulo, varón prudente. Este, llamando á Bernabé y á Saulo, deseaba oir la palabra de Dios.
This magician associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, because he wanted to hear the word of God.
8 Mas les resistía Elimas el encantador (que así se interpreta su nombre), procurando apartar de la fe al procónsul.
But Elymas “the magician” (that is how his name is translated) opposed them; he tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Entonces Saulo, que también [es] Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, poniendo en él los ojos,
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him intensely.
10 Dijo: Oh, lleno de todo engaño y de toda maldad, hijo del diablo, enemigo de toda justicia, ¿no cesarás de trastornar los caminos rectos del Señor?
and said, “You son of the devil, you are full of all kinds of deceit and wickedness. You are an enemy of every kind of righteousness. You will never stop twisting the straight paths of the Lord, will you?
11 Ahora pues, he aquí la mano del Señor es contra ti, y serás ciego, que no veas el sol por tiempo. Y luego cayeron en él obscuridad y tinieblas; y andando alrededor, buscaba quién le condujese por la mano.
Now look, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for a while.” Immediately there fell on Elymas a mist and darkness; he started going around asking people to lead him by the hand.
12 Entonces el procónsul, viendo lo que había sido hecho, creyó, maravillado de la doctrina del Señor.
After the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
13 Y partidos de Papho, Pablo y sus compañeros arribaron á Perge de Pamphylia: entonces Juan, apartándose de ellos, se volvió á Jerusalem.
Now Paul and his friends set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Y ellos pasando de Perge, llegaron á Antioquía de Pisidia, y entrando en la sinagoga un día de sábado, sentáronse.
Paul and his friends traveled from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 Y después de la lectura de la ley y de los profetas, los príncipes de la sinagoga enviaron á ellos, diciendo: Varones hermanos, si tenéis alguna palabra de exhortación para el pueblo, hablad.
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people here, say it.”
16 Entonces Pablo, levantándose, hecha señal de silencio con la mano, dice: Varones Israelitas, y los que teméis á Dios, oid:
So Paul stood up and motioned with his hand; he said, “Men of Israel and you who honor God, listen.
17 El Dios del pueblo de Israel escogió á nuestros padres, y ensalzó al pueblo, siendo ellos extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto, y con brazo levantado los sacó de ella.
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people numerous when they stayed in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of it.
18 Y por tiempo como de cuarenta años soportó sus costumbres en el desierto;
For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Y destruyendo siete naciones en la tierra de Canaán, les repartió por suerte la tierra de ellas.
After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave our people their land for an inheritance.
20 Y después, como por cuatrocientos y cincuenta años, dió[les] jueces hasta el profeta Samuel.
All these events took place over four hundred and fifty years. After all these things, God gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 Y entonces demandaron rey; y les dió Dios á Saúl, hijo de Cis, varón de la tribu de Benjamín, por cuarenta años.
Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, to be king for forty years.
22 Y quitado aquél, levantóles por rey á David, al que dió también testimonio, diciendo: He hallado á David, [hijo] de Jessé, varón conforme á mi corazón, el cual hará todo lo que yo quiero.
After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'
23 De la simiente de éste, Dios, conforme á la promesa, levantó á Jesús por Salvador á Israel;
From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.
24 Predicando Juan delante de la faz de su venida el bautismo de arrepentimiento á todo el pueblo de Israel.
This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Mas como Juan cumpliese su carrera, dijo: ¿Quién pensáis que soy? No soy yo [él]; mas he aquí, viene tras mí uno, cuyo calzado de los pies no soy digno de desatar.
As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
26 Varones hermanos, hijos del linaje de Abraham, y los que entre vosotros temen á Dios, á vosotros es enviada la palabra de esta salud.
Brothers, children of the line of Abraham, and those among you who worship God, it is to us that the message about this salvation has been sent.
27 Porque los que habitaban en Jerusalem, y sus príncipes, no conociendo á éste, y las voces de los profetas que se leen todos los sábados, condenándo[le], [las] cumplieron.
For they who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, did not recognize him, and they fulfilled sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.
28 Y sin hallar [en él] causa de muerte, pidieron á Pilato que le matasen.
Even though they found no good cause for death in him, they asked Pilate to kill him.
29 Y habiendo cumplido todas las cosas que de él estaban escritas, quitándolo del madero, lo pusieron en el sepulcro.
When they had completed all the things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
30 Mas Dios le levantó de los muertos.
But God raised him from the dead.
31 Y él fué visto por muchos días de los que habían subido juntamente con él de Galilea á Jerusalem, los cuales son sus testigos al pueblo.
He was seen for many days by those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These people are now his witnesses to the people.
32 Y nosotros también os anunciamos el evangelio de aquella promesa que fué hecha á los padres,
So we are telling you the good news that what God promised to our fathers
33 La cual Dios ha cumplido á los hijos de ellos, á nosotros, resucitando á Jesús: como también en el salmo segundo está escrito: Mi hijo eres tú, yo te he engendrado hoy.
he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are my Son, today I have become your Father.'
34 Y que le levantó de los muertos para nunca más volver á corrupción, así [lo] dijo: Os daré las misericordias fieles de David.
The fact that he raised him up from the dead so that his body would never decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
35 Por eso dice también en otro [lugar]: No permitirás que tu Santo vea corrupción.
This is why he also says in another Psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
36 Porque á la verdad David, habiendo servido en su edad á la voluntad de Dios, durmió, y fué juntado con sus padres, y vió corrupción:
For when David had served the desires of God in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was laid with his fathers and his body experienced decay.
37 Mas aquel que Dios levantó, no vió corrupción.
But he whom God raised up experienced no decay.
38 Séaos pues notorio, varones hermanos, que por éste os es anunciada remisión de pecados;
So let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins.
39 Y de todo lo que por la ley de Moisés no pudisteis ser justificados, en éste es justificado todo aquel que creyere.
By him every one who believes is justified from all the things which the law of Moses could not justify you.
40 Mirad, pues, que no venga sobre vosotros lo que está dicho en los profetas;
So then be careful that the thing the prophets spoke about does not happen to you:
41 Mirad, oh menospreciadores, y entonteceos, y desvaneceos; porque yo obro una obra en vuestros días, obra que no creeréis, si alguien os la contare.
'Look, you despisers, and be astonished and then perish; For I am doing a work in your days, A work that you shall never believe, even if someone announces it to you.'”
42 Y saliendo [ellos] de la sinagoga de los Judíos, los Gentiles [les] rogaron que el sábado siguiente les hablasen estas palabras.
As Paul and Barnabas left, the people begged them that they might speak these same words again the next Sabbath.
43 Y despedida la congregación, muchos de los Judíos y de los religiosos prosélitos siguieron á Pablo y á Bernabé; los cuales hablándoles, les persuadían que permaneciesen en la gracia de Dios.
When the synagogue meeting ended, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Y el sábado siguiente se juntó casi toda la ciudad á oir la palabra de Dios.
On the next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
45 Mas los Judíos, visto el gentío, llenáronse de celo, y se oponían á lo que Pablo decía, contradiciendo y blasfemando.
When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and spoke against the things that were said by Paul and insulted him.
46 Entonces Pablo y Bernabé, usando de libertad, dijeron: A vosotros á la verdad era menester que se os hablase la palabra de Dios; mas pues que la desecháis, y os juzgáis indignos de la vida eterna, he aquí, nos volvemos á los Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from yourselves and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, see, we will turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Porque así nos ha mandado el Señor, [diciendo]: Te he puesto para luz de los Gentiles, para que seas salud hasta lo postrero de la tierra.
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'”
48 Y los Gentiles oyendo esto, fueron gozosos, y glorificaban la palabra del Señor: y creyeron todos los que estaban ordenados para vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Y la palabra del Señor era sembrada por toda aquella provincia.
The word of the Lord was spread out through the whole region.
50 Mas los Judíos concitaron mujeres pías y honestas, y á los principales de la ciudad, y levantaron persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé, y los echaron de sus términos.
But the Jews urged on the devout and important women, as well as the leading men of the city. These stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out beyond the border of their city.
51 Ellos entonces sacudiendo en ellos el polvo de sus pies, vinieron á Iconio.
But Paul and Barnabas shook off the dust from their feet against them. Then they went to the city of Iconium.
52 Y los discípulos estaban llenos de gozo, y del Espíritu Santo.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
