Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Y OYERON los apóstoles y los hermanos que estaban en Judéa, que tambien los Gentiles habian recibido la palabra de Dios.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Y como Pedro subió á Jerusalem, contendian contra él los que eran de la circuncision,
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
Diciendo: ¿Por qué has entrado á hombres incircuncisos, y has comido con ellos?
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Entonces comenzando Pedro, les declaró por órden [lo pasado, ] diciendo:
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
Estaba yo en la ciudad de Joppe orando, y ví en rapto de entendimiento una vision; un vaso, como un gran lienzo, que descendia, que por los cuatro cabos era abajado del cielo, y venia hasta mí:
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
En el cual como puse los ojos, consideré y ví animales terrestres de cuatro piés, y fieras, y reptiles, y aves del cielo.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
Y oí una voz que me decia: Levántate, Pedro; mata y come.
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
Y dije: Señor, no; porque ninguna cosa comun ni inmunda entró jamás en mi boca.
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, do not you call unclean.’
Entónces la voz me respondió del cielo segunda vez: Lo que Dios limpió no [lo] llamas tu comun.
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Y esto fué hecho por tres veces: y volvió todo á ser tomado arriba en el cielo.
11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
Y hé aquí que luego sobrevinieron tres hombres á la casa donde yo estaba, enviados á mí de Cesaréa.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
Y el Espíritu me dijo que fuese con ellos sin dudar. Y vinieron tambien conmigo estos seis hermanos, y entramos en casa de un varon,
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
El cual nos contó como habia visto un ángel en su casa, que se paró, y le dijo: Envia á Joppe, y haz venir á un Simon que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro;
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
El cual te hablará palabras por las cuales serás salvo tú, y toda tu casa.
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
Y como comencé á hablar, cayó el Espíritu Santo sobre ellos, tambien como sobre nosotros al principio.
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
Entónces me acordé del dicho del Señor, como dijo: Juan ciertamente bautizó en agua, más vosotros seréis bautizados en Espíritu Santo.
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
Así que, si Dios les dió el mismo don tambien como á nosotros que hemos creido en el Señor Jesu-Cristo, ¿quién era yo que pudiese estorbar á Dios?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
Entónces, oidas estas cosas, callaron, y glorificaron á Dios, diciendo: De manera que tambien á los Gentiles ha dado Dios arrepentimiento para vida.
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Y los que habian sido esparcidos por causa de la tribulacion que sobrevino en tiempo de Esteban, anduvieron hasta Fenicia, y Cipro, y Antioquia, no hablando á nadie la palabra, sino á solos los Judíos.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Y de ellos habia unos varones Ciprios y Cirenenses, los cuales como entraron en Antioquia, hablaron á los Griegos, anunciando el Evangelio del Señor Jesus.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Y la mano del Señor era con ellos; y creyendo gran numero [de gente, ] se convirtió al Señor.
22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
Y llegó la fama de estas cosas á oidos de la iglesia que estaba en Jerusalem; y enviaron á Bernabé que fuese hasta Antioquia.
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
El cual, como llegó, y vió la gracia de Dios, regocijóse, y exhortó á todos que permaneciesen en el propósito del corazon en el Señor.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Porque era varon bueno y lleno de Espíritu Santo y de fé: y mucha compañía fué agregada al Señor.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Despues partió Bernabé á Tarso á buscar á Saulo; y hallado, le trajo á Antioquia.
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Y conversaron todo un año allí con la iglesia y enseñaron mucha gente; y los discípulos fueron llamados Cristianos primeramente en Antioquia.
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Y en aquellos dias descendieron de Jerusalem profetas á Antioquia.
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
Y levantándose uno de ellos, llamado Agabo, daba á entender por Espíritu, que habia de haber una grande hambre en toda la redondez de las tierras; la cual tambien hubo en tiempo de Claudio.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Entónces los discípulos, cada uno conforme á lo que tenia, determinaron enviar subsidio á los hermanos que habitaban en Judéa.
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Lo cual asimismo hicieron, enviándo[lo] á los ancianos por mano de Bernabé y de Saulo.
