Acts 4
1 And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
Mientras ellos hablaban al pueblo, llegaron [los] sacerdotes, el jefe de la guardia del Templo y los saduceos.
2 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
Estaban muy enojados porque ellos proclamaban al pueblo la resurrección de entre [los] muertos por medio de Jesús.
3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
Los detuvieron y, como ya era tarde, los pusieron bajo custodia hasta el día siguiente.
4 and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
Muchos de los que oyeron la Palabra creyeron, de los cuales como 5.000 fueron varones.
5 And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
Al día siguiente se reunieron en Jerusalén los magistrados, los ancianos, los escribas,
6 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
y Anás, sumo sacerdote, Caifás, Juan, Alejandro y todos los del linaje de los sumos sacerdotes.
7 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
Los pusieron en medio y les preguntaron: ¿Con cuál autoridad o en nombre de quién hicieron esto?
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Entonces Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, les respondió: Gobernantes del pueblo y ancianos:
9 if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
Se nos interroga con respecto al beneficio hecho a un hombre enfermo: ¿cómo fue sanado?
10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
Sepan todos ustedes y todo el pueblo de Israel, que por el Nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, a Quien ustedes crucificaron, a Quien Dios resucitó, este [hombre ]está sano delante de ustedes.
11 This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
Éste [Jesús] es La Piedra desechada por ustedes los constructores, La cual [se] convirtió en Cabeza de ángulo.
12 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of us to be saved.”
En ningún otro hay salvación, porque no hay otro nombre bajo el cielo dado a [los] hombres, en Quien tenemos que ser salvos.
13 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus—
Cuando percibieron la osadía de Pedro y Juan, y pensaron que eran hombres iliteratos y no educados, se asombraban y reconocían que habían estado con Jesús.
14 and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
Al ver al hombre sanado en pie con ellos, nada podían replicar.
15 and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
Les ordenaron que salieran del Tribunal Supremo y discutían:
16 saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it];
¿Qué haremos a estos hombres? Porque ciertamente una notable señal milagrosa sucedió por medio de ellos, visible a todos los que habitan Jerusalén, y no se puede negar.
17 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer speak in this Name to any man.”
Sin embargo, para que no se divulgue más hacia el pueblo, amenacémoslos a fin de evitar que hablen más en este Nombre a alguno.
18 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
Los llamaron y [les] ordenaron que en absoluto no proclamaran ni enseñaran en el Nombre de Jesús.
19 and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
Pedro y Juan respondieron: Juzguen si es justo delante de Dios escucharlos a ustedes y no a Él,
20 for we cannot but speak what we saw and heard.”
porque nosotros no podemos callar lo que vimos y oímos.
21 And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
Entonces ellos, al no hallar cómo castigarlos por causa del pueblo, los amenazaron aún más y los soltaron. Todos glorificaban a Dios por lo sucedido,
22 for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
porque el hombre en quien ocurrió este milagro de la curación tenía más de 40 años.
23 And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said to them,
Cuando los soltaron, fueron a los suyos e informaron todo lo que les dijeron los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos.
24 and they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,
Después de escucharlos, alzaron [la] voz unánimes a Dios: Soberano, Tú que hiciste el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos,
25 who, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
que dijiste por [el] Espíritu Santo a tu esclavo, nuestro antepasado David: ¿Por qué se amotinan las gentes, Y los pueblos maquinan cosas vanas?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
Se levantaron los reyes de la tierra, Y sus gobernantes consultaron unidos Contra el Señor y contra su Ungido.
27 for gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
Porque en verdad Herodes y Poncio Pilato se reunieron con gentiles y pueblos de Israel en esta ciudad contra tu santo Siervo Jesús, a Quien ungiste
28 to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
para hacer cuanto tu mano y designio predestinaron para que sucediera.
29 And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
Ahora Señor, mira sus amenazas y concede a tus esclavos que hablen tu Palabra con toda osadía.
30 in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.”
Extiende tu mano para que se realicen sanidades, señales milagrosas y prodigios por medio del Nombre de tu santo Siervo Jesús.
31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
Después de hablar ellos con Dios, tembló el lugar donde estaban reunidos, y todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo y hablaban con osadía la Palabra de Dios.
32 and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in common to them.
La congregación de los que creyeron tenía un corazón y un alma. Ninguno decía que poseía algo, sino todas las cosas les eran de propiedad común.
33 And with great power the apostles were giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on them all,
Los apóstoles daban el testimonio de la resurrección del Señor Jesús con gran poder, y había abundante gracia sobre todos ellos.
34 for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
Porque no había algún empobrecido entre ellos, pues quienes tenían tierras o casas las vendían y colocaban el valor de lo vendido
35 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
a los pies de los apóstoles. Era distribuido a cada uno según su necesidad.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
José, un levita chipriota llamado por los apóstoles Bernabé, que significa hijo de consolación,
37 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
quien tenía un campo, lo vendió y llevó el dinero a los apóstoles.
