Acts 21
1 And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
Y HABIENDO partido de ellos, navegamos y vinimos camino derecho á Coos, y el dia siguiente á Rhodas, y de allí á Pátara.
2 And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.
Y hallando un barco que pasaba á Fenice, nos embarcamos, y partimos.
3 And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Y como avistamos á Cipro, dejándola á mano izquierda, navegamos á Siria, y vinimos á Tiro; porque el barco habia de descargar allí su carga.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Y nos quedamos allí siete dias, hallados los discípulos, los cuales decian á Pablo por Espíritu, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
5 And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.
Y cumplidos aquellos dias nos partimos, acompañándonos todos con [sus] mujeres é hijos hasta fuera de la ciudad: y puestos de rodillas en la ribera, oramos.
6 And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.
Y abrazándonos los unos á los otros, subimos al barco, y ellos se volvieron á sus casas.
7 But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
Y nosotros, cumplida la navegacion, vinimos de Tiro á Tolemaida; y habiendo saludado á los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un dia.
8 And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
Y otro dia, partidos, (Pablo y los que con él estábamos) vinimos á Cesaréa; y entrando en casa de Felipe el evangelista, el cual era [uno] de los siete, posamos con él.
9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
Y este tenia cuatro hijas doncellas, que profetizaban.
10 And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Y parando nosotros [allí] por muchos dias, descendió de Judéa un profeta llamado Agabo;
11 Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Y venido á nosotros, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los piés y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los Judíos en Jerusalem al varon, cuyo es este cinto, y [le] entregarán en manos de los Gentiles.
12 Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
Lo cual como oimos, le rogamos nosotros, y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Entónces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué haceis llorando y afligiéndome el corazon? porque yo no solo estoy presto á ser atado, mas aun á morir en Jerusalem por el nombre del Señor Jesus.
14 And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.
15 And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.
Y despues de estos dias, apercibidos, subimos á Jerusalem.
16 And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Y vinieron tambien con nosotros de Cesaréa algunos de los discípulos, trayendo consigo á un Mnason Ciprio, discípulo antiguo, con el cual posásemos.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Y cuando llegamos á Jerusalem, los hermanos nos recibieron de buena voluntad.
18 And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.
Y al dia siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Jacobo, y todos los ancianos se juntaron.
19 Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
A los cuales, como los hubo saludado, contó por menudo lo que Dios habia hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio.
20 But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.
Y ellos como [lo] oyeron, glorificaron á Dios; y le dijeron: Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares de Judíos hay que han creido; y todos son celadores de la ley.
21 Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
Mas fueron informados acerca de tí, que enseñas á apartarse de Moisés á todos los Judíos que están entre los Gentiles, diciéndo[les] que no han de circuncidar los hijos, ni andar segun la costumbre.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
¿Qué hay pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto; porque oirán que has venido.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.
Haz, pues, esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen voto sobre sí:
24 Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.
Tomando á estos contigo, purifícate con ellos, y gasta con ellos para que rasuren [sus] cabezas, y todos entiendan que no hay nada de lo que fueron informados acerca de tí; sino que tú tambien andas guardando la ley.
25 But as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.
Empero cuanto á los que de los Gentiles han creido, nosotros hemos escrito haberse acordado que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo que fuere sacrificado á los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicacion.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.
Entónces Pablo tomó consigo aquellos hombres, y al siguiente dia, habiéndose purificado con ellos, entró en el templo, para anunciar [se proponian] el cumplimiento de los dias de la purificacion, hasta ser ofrecida ofrenda por cada uno de ellos.
27 But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:
Y cuando estaban para acabarse los siete dias, unos Judíos de Asia, como le vieron en el templo, alborotaron todo el pueblo, y le echaron mano,
28 Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.
Dando voces: Varones Israelitas ayudad: este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña á todos contra el pueblo, y la ley, y este lugar; y además de esto ha metido Gentiles en el templo, y ha contaminado este lugar santo.
29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
(Porque ántes habian visto con él en la ciudad á Trófimo, Efesio, al cual pensaban que Pablo habia metido en el templo.)
30 And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
Así que, toda la ciudad se alborotó y agolpóse el pueblo; y tomando á Pablo, hiciéronle salir fuera del templo, y luego las puertas fueron cerradas.
31 And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Y procurando ellos matarle, fué dado aviso al tribuno de la compañía que toda la ciudad de Jerusalem estaba alborotada;
32 Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.
El cual tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corrió á ellos. Y ellos como vieron al tribuno y á los soldados, cesaron de herir á Pablo.
33 Then the tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Entónces llegando el tribuno, le prendió, y [le] mandó atar con dos cadenas: y preguntó quién era, y qué habia hecho.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Y entre la multitud unos gritaban una cosa, y otros otra: y como no podia entender nada de cierto á causa del alboroto, le mando llevar á la fortaleza.
35 And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
Y como llegó á las gradas, aconteció que fué llevado [á cuestas] de los soldados á causa de la violencia del pueblo.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him.
Porque multitud de pueblo venia detrás gritando: Mátale.
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?
Y como comenzaron á meter á Pablo en la fortaleza, dice al tribuno: Me será lícito hablarte algo? Y él dijo: ¿Griego sabes?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?
¿^No eres tú aquel Egipcio que levantaste una sedicion ántes de estos dias, y sacaste al desierto cuatro mil hombres salteadores?
39 But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
Entónces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, ciudad no oscura de Cilicia: empero ruégote que me permitas que hable al pueblo.
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
Y como él se lo permitió, Pablo estando en pié en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo; y hecho grande silencio, habló en lengua Hebréa, diciendo:
