Acts 20

1 But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.

Y DESPUES que cesó el alboroto llamando Pablo los discípulos, habiéndoles exhortado y abrazado, se despidió, y partió para ir á Macedonia.

2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

Y andado que hubo aquellas partes y exhortádoles con abundancia de palabra, vino á Grecia:

3 and, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.

[Donde] despues de haber estado tres meses, y habiendo de navegar á Siria, le fueron puestas asechanzas por los Judíos; y así tomó consejo de volverse por Macedonia.

4 Now there were accompanying him, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy; and, of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

Y le acompañaron hasta Asia Sopater, Bereense; y Tesalonicenses, Aristarco, y Segundo; y Gayo de Derbe, y Timotéo; y Asianos, Tichico, y Trófimo.

5 And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.

Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.

6 And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.

Y nosotros, pasados los dias de los panes sin levadura, navegamos de Filipos, y vinimos á ellos á Troas en cinco dias, donde estuvimos siete dias.

7 And, on the first of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.

Y el [dia] primero de la semana, juntos los discípulos á partir el pan, Pablo les enseñaba, habiendo de partir al dia siguiente; y alargó el discurso hasta la media noche.

8 Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.

Y habia muchas lámparas en el aposento alto donde estaban juntos.

9 And there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.

Y un mancebo llamado Euticho, que estaba sentado en una ventana, tomado de un sueño profundo, como Pablo disputaba largamente, postrado del sueño, cayó desde el tercer piso abajo, y fué alzado muerto.

10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.

Entónces descendió Pablo, y derribóse sobre él, y abrazándole, dijo: No os alboroteis, que su alma está en él.

11 And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.

Despues subiendo, y partiendo el pan, y gustando, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así partió.

12 And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.

Y llevaron al mozo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.

13 And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.

Y nosotros, subiendo en el navío navegamos á Ason, para recibir de allí á Pablo; porque así habia determinado venir por tierra.

14 And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;

Y como se juntó con nosotros en Ason, tomándole vinimos á Mitilene.

15 and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into Miletus.

Y navegando de allí, al [dia] siguiente llegamos delante de Chio, y al otro [dia] tomamos puerto en Samo: y habiendo reposado en Trogilio, al [dia] siguiente llegamos á Mileto.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.

Porque Pablo se habia propuesto pasar adelante de Efeso, por no detenerse en Asia: porque se apresuraba por hacer el dia de Pentecostes, si le fuese posible, en Jerusalem.

17 But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.

Y enviando desde Mileto á Efeso, hizo llamar á los ancianos de la iglesia.

18 And, when they were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,

Y cuando vinieron á él, les dijo: Vosotros sabeis cómo, desde el primer dia que entré en Asia, he estado con vosotros por todo el tiempo,

19 doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:

Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad, y con lágrimas, y tentaciones, que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos:

20 in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

Como nada que [os] fuese útil, he rehuido de anunciaros, y enseñaros públicamente, y por las casas,

21 bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.

Testificando á los Judíos y á los Gentiles arrepentimiento para con Dios, y la fé en nuestro Señor Jesu-Cristo.

22 And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —

Y ahora hé aquí, ligado yo en mi espíritu, voy á Jerusalem sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:

23 save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.

Mas que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo, que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.

24 But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.

Mas de ninguna cosa hago caso, ni estimo mi vida preciosa para mí mismo; solamente que acabe mi carrera con gozo, y el ministerio que recibí del Señor Jesus, para dar testimonio del Evangelio de la gracia de Dios.

25 And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.

Y ahora hé aquí yo sé, que ninguno de todos vosotros, por quien he pasado predicando el reino de Dios, verá más mi rostro.

26 Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;

Por tanto yo os protesto el dia de hoy, que yo soy limpio de la sangre de todos:

27 for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.

Porque no he rehuido anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.

28 Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

Por tanto mirad por vosotros, y por todo el rebaño en que el Espíritu Santo os ha puesto por obispos, para apacentar la iglesia del Señor, la cual ganó por su sangre.

29 I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;

Porque yo sé, que despues de mi partida entrarán en [medio de] vosotros graves lobos que no perdonarán al ganado.

30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Y de vosotros mismos se levantarán hombres, que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos tras sí.

31 Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.

Por tanto velad, acordándoos que por tres años, de noche y de dia, no he cesado de amonestar con lágrimas á cada uno.

32 Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.

Y ahora, hermanos, os encomiendo á Dios, y á la palabra de su gracia; el cual es poderoso para sobreedificar, y daros heredad con todos los santificados.

33 The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:

La plata, ó el oro, ó el vestido, de nadie he codiciado.

34 yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!

Antes vosotros sabeis que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y á los que están conmigo, estas manos me han servido.

35 In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!

[En] todo os he enseñado, que trabajando así, es necesario sobrellevar á los enfermos, y tener presente las palabras del Señor Jesus, el cual dijo: Bienaventurada cosa es dar ántes que recibir.

36 And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.

Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, se puso de rodillas, y oró con todos ellos.

37 And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;

Entónces hubo un gran lloro de todos; y derribándose sobre el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,

38 being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

Doliéndose en gran manera por la palabra que dijo, que no habian de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron al navío.
