Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Cuando hubimos escapado, se enteraron de que la isla se llamaba Malta.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Los nativos nos mostraron una amabilidad poco común, pues encendieron un fuego y nos recibieron a todos, a causa de la lluvia presente y del frío.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.
Pero cuando Pablo reunió un manojo de palos y los puso sobre el fuego, una víbora salió a causa del calor y se le prendió en la mano.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
Cuando los nativos vieron la criatura colgando de su mano, se dijeron unos a otros: “Sin duda este hombre es un asesino, al que, aunque ha escapado del mar, la Justicia no ha dejado vivir.”
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Sin embargo, él se sacudió la criatura en el fuego, y no sufrió ningún daño.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Pero ellos esperaban que se hubiera hinchado o que hubiera caído muerto de repente, pero cuando observaron durante mucho tiempo y vieron que no le ocurría nada malo, cambiaron de opinión y dijeron que era un dios.
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
En la vecindad de aquel lugar había tierras que pertenecían al jefe de la isla, llamado Publio, quien nos recibió y nos agasajó cortésmente durante tres días.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
El padre de Publio estaba enfermo de fiebre y disentería. Pablo entró en él, oró y, imponiéndole las manos, le sanó.
9 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Hecho esto, vinieron también los demás enfermos de la isla y se curaron.
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
También nos honraron con muchos honores; y cuando zarpamos, pusieron a bordo las cosas que necesitábamos.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Al cabo de tres meses, zarpamos en una nave de Alejandría que había invernado en la isla, cuyo mascarón de proa era “Los hermanos gemelos”.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Al llegar a Siracusa, permanecimos allí tres días.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
Desde allí dimos la vuelta y llegamos a Rhegium. Al cabo de un día, se levantó un viento del sur, y al segundo día llegamos a Puteoli,
14 where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
donde encontramos hermanos, y nos rogaron que nos quedáramos con ellos siete días. Así llegamos a Roma.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Desde allí, los hermanos, al saber de nosotros, salieron a nuestro encuentro hasta el Mercado de Apio y las Tres Tabernas. Al verlos, Pablo dio gracias a Dios y se animó.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Cuando entramos en Roma, el centurión entregó los prisioneros al capitán de la guardia, pero a Pablo se le permitió quedarse solo con el soldado que lo custodiaba.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
Al cabo de tres días, Pablo convocó a los jefes de los judíos. Cuando se reunieron, les dijo: “Yo, hermanos, aunque no había hecho nada contra el pueblo ni contra las costumbres de nuestros padres, fui entregado prisionero desde Jerusalén en manos de los romanos,
18 who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
los cuales, después de examinarme, quisieron ponerme en libertad, porque no había en mí ninguna causa de muerte.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Pero cuando los judíos se pronunciaron en contra, me vi obligado a apelar al César, sin tener nada por lo que acusar a mi nación.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Por eso pedí verte y hablar contigo. Porque a causa de la esperanza de Israel estoy atado con esta cadena”.
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
Le dijeron: “No hemos recibido cartas de Judea acerca de ti, ni ninguno de los hermanos ha venido a informar o a hablar mal de ti.
22 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Pero deseamos oír de ti lo que piensas. Porque, en cuanto a esta secta, nos consta que en todas partes se habla mal de ella.”
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
Cuando le señalaron un día, acudió mucha gente a su alojamiento. Él les explicaba, testificando acerca del Reino de Dios, y persuadiéndolos acerca de Jesús, tanto de la ley de Moisés como de los profetas, desde la mañana hasta la noche.
24 and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Algunos creyeron lo que se decía, y otros no creyeron.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Como no se ponían de acuerdo entre sí, se marchaban después de que Pablo había pronunciado un solo mensaje: “El Espíritu Santo habló correctamente por medio del profeta Isaías a nuestros padres,
26 saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
diciendo, ‘Ve a este pueblo y dile, en la audición, oirás, pero no lo entenderá de ninguna manera. Al ver, verás, pero no percibirá de ninguna manera.
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
Porque el corazón de este pueblo se ha vuelto insensible. Sus oídos oyen con dificultad. Sus ojos se han cerrado. No sea que vean con sus ojos, oigan con sus oídos, entiendan con el corazón, y volvería a girar, entonces yo los sanaría’.
28 Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
“Sabed, pues, que la salvación de Dios es enviada a las naciones, y ellas escucharán”.
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
Cuando dijo estas palabras, los judíos se marcharon, teniendo una gran disputa entre ellos.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Pablo permaneció dos años enteros en su propia casa alquilada y recibía a todos los que venían a él,
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
predicando el Reino de Dios y enseñando las cosas relativas al Señor Jesucristo con toda valentía, sin obstáculos.
