Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there 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 having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
Y hallando un barco que pasaba á Fenice, nos embarcamos, y partimos.
3 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
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 having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to 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 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, 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 having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Y abrazándonos los unos á los otros, subimos al barco, y ellos se volvieron á sus casas.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained 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 on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained 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 this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Y este tenia cuatro hijas doncellas, que profetizaban.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Y parando nosotros [allí] por muchos dias, descendió de Judéa un profeta llamado Agabo;
11 and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
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 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Lo cual como oimos, le rogamos nosotros, y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
13 and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at 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 he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Y despues de estos dias, apercibidos, subimos á Jerusalem.
16 and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
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 we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Y cuando llegamos á Jerusalem, los hermanos nos recibieron de buena voluntad.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
Y al dia siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Jacobo, y todos los ancianos se juntaron.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
A los cuales, como los hubo saludado, contó por menudo lo que Dios habia hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio.
20 and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of 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 and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
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 then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
¿Qué hay pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto; porque oirán que has venido.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Haz, pues, esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen voto sobre sí:
24 having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—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 And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
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, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each 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 And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
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 crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled 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 before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul 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 All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors 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 they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
Y procurando ellos matarle, fué dado aviso al tribuno de la compañía que toda la ciudad de Jerusalem estaba alborotada;
32 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, 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 chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
Entónces llegando el tribuno, le prendió, y [le] mandó atar con dos cadenas: y preguntó quién era, y qué habia hecho.
34 and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
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 came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
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 crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Porque multitud de pueblo venia detrás gritando: Mátale.
37 And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know 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 Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
¿^No eres tú aquel Egipcio que levantaste una sedicion ántes de estos dias, y sacaste al desierto cuatro mil hombres salteadores?
39 And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit 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 he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, 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:
