Acts 4
1 Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came at them,
Y HABLANDO ellos al pueblo, sobrevinieron los sacerdotes, y el magistrado del templo, y los Saducéos,
2 being upset because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Resentidos de que enseñasen al pueblo, y anunciasen en Jesus la resurreccion de los muertos.
3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
Y les echaron mano, y los pusieron en la cárcel hasta el dia siguiente; porque era ya tarde.
4 (However, many of those who heard the message believed; the number of the men came to be about five thousand.)
Mas muchos de los que habian oido la palabra creyeron; y fué el numero de los varones como cinco mil.
5 So the next day an assembly of their rulers, both elders and scribes, occurred in Jerusalem,
Y aconteció al dia siguiente^, que se juntaron en Jerusalem los príncipes de ellos, y los ancianos, y los escribas,
6 along with Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, John and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent.
Y Anás, príncipe de los sacerdotes y Caifás, y Juan, y Alejandro, y todos los que eran del linaje sacerdotal:
7 And having placed them in the middle [of the assembly] they started questioning: “By what power, or by what name did you do this?”
Y haciéndolos presentar en medio les preguntaron: ¿Con qué potestad, ó en qué nombre habeis hecho vosotros esto,
8 Then Peter, full of Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
Entónces Pedro, lleno de Espíritu Santo, les dijo: Príncipes del pueblo, y ancianos de Israel,
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,
Pues que somos hoy demandados acerca del beneficio [hecho] á un hombre enfermo, de qué manera este haya sido sanado;
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
Sea notorio á todos vosotros, y á todo el pueblo de Israel, que en el nombre de Jesu-Cristo de Nazaret, el que vosotros crucificasteis, y Dios le resucito de los muertos, por él [mismo] este hombre esta en vuestra presencia sano.
11 This is ‘the stone which was despised by you, the builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’
Este es la piedra reprobada de vosotros los edificadores, la cual es puesta por cabeza del ángulo.
12 Also, the salvation does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.”
Y en ningun otro hay salud; porque no hay otro nombre debajo del cielo dado á los hombres en que podamos ser salvos.
13 Now upon observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving that they were uneducated and unskilled men, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Entónces viendo la constancia de Pedro y de Juan, sabido que eran hombres sin letras é ignorantes, se maravillaban; y les conocian que habian estado con Jesus.
14 Further, seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Y viendo al hombre que habia sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podian decir nada en contra.
15 So ordering them to go out from the council they began to confer among themselves,
Mas les mandaron que se saliesen fuera del concilio; y conferian entre sí,
16 saying: “What can we do to these men? Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Diciendo: Qué hemos de hacer á estos hombres? porque de cierto señal manifiesta ha sido hecha por ellos, notoria á todos los que moran en Jerusalem, y no [lo] podemos negar.
17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them to no longer speak to anyone in this name.”
Todavia, porque no se divulgue más por el pueblo, amenacémosles que no hablen de aquí adelante á hombre ninguno en este nombre.
18 So summoning them they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of ‘Jesus’.
Y llamándolos, les intimaron que en ninguna manera hablasen ni enseñasen en el nombre de Jesus.
19 But in answer Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves;
Entónces Pedro y Juan, respondiendo, les dijeron: Juzgad si es justo delante de Dios obedecer ántes á vosotros que á Dios:
20 because we cannot help but speak the things we have seen and heard.”
Porque no podemos dejar de decir lo que hemos visto y oido.
21 So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened;
Ellos entónces los despacharon amenazándoles, no hallando ningun modo de castigarles, por causa del pueblo: porque todos glorificaban á Dios de lo que habia sido hecho.
22 because the man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.
Porque el hombre en quien habia sido hecho este milagro de sanidad, era de mas de cuarenta años.
23 So upon being released they went to their own group and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
Y sueltos [ellos, ] vinieron á los suyos, y contaron todo lo que los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos les habian dicho.
24 Well upon hearing it, with one mind they called out to God and said: “O Sovereign! You are God, the Maker of sky and earth and ocean, and all that is in them;
Y ellos, habiéndolo oido, alzaron unánimes la voz á Dios, y dijeron. Señor, tú [eres] el Dios, que hiciste el cielo y la tierra, la mar, y todo lo que en ellos [hay: ]
25 You who said through the mouth of Your servant David: ‘Why did nations snort and peoples plot vain things?
Que por la boca de David tu siervo dijiste: ¿Por qué han bramado las gentes, y los pueblos han pensado cosas vanas?
26 The kings of the earth took a stand, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against His Messiah.’
Asistieron los reyes de la tierra, y los príncipes se juntaron en uno contra el Señor, y contra su Cristo.
27 Well, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with Gentiles and peoples of Israel, were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,
Porque verdaderamente se juntaron en esta ciudad contra tu santo Hijo Jesus, al cual ungiste, Heródes y Poncio Pilato, con los Gentiles y los pueblos de Israel,
28 to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to happen.
Para hacer lo que tu mano y tu consejo habian ántes determinado que habia de ser hecho.
29 As for the present, Lord, consider their threats, and grant to Your slaves to speak Your word with all boldness,
Y ahora, Señor, mira sus amenazas, y da á tus siervos que con toda confianza hablen tu palabra:
30 while You stretch out Your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may occur through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
Que extiendas tu mano á que sanidades y milagros y prodigios sean hechos por el nombre de tu santo Hijo Jesus.
31 Well when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness.
Y como hubieron orado, el lugar en que estaban congregados tembló; y todos fueron llenos de Espíritu Santo, y hablaron la palabra de Dios con confianza.
32 Now the multitude of those who believed was of one heart and soul; indeed not one was saying that any of his belongings was his own, but they had all things in common.
Y de la multitud de los que habian creido era un corazon y un alma; y ninguno decia ser suyo algo de lo que poseia, mas todas las cosas les eran comunes.
33 (Also the Apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power.) Yes, great grace was on them all,
Y los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurreccion del Señor Jesus con gran esfuerzo: y gran gracia era en todos ellos;
34 because there were not any needy among them—as many as were owners of lands or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of the sold items
Que ningun necesitado habia entre ellos; porque todos los que poseian heredades ó casas, vendiéndolas, traian el precio de lo vendido, p
35 and placing them at the Apostles' feet, and they were distributed to each according as anyone had need.
Y lo ponian á los piés de los apóstoles, y era repartido á cada uno segun que habia menester.
36 So Joses, who was named Barnabas by the Apostles (which is, being translated, ‘Son of encouragement’), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,
Entónces José, que fué llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre Bernabé, (que es, interpretado, Hijo de consolacion, ) Levita, [y] natural de Cipro,
37 having a field, sold it, brought the money and placed it at the Apostles' feet.
Como tuviese una heredad, [la] vendió, y trajo el precio, y púso[lo] á los piés de los apóstoles.
