Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
Entonces Pablo, poniendo los ojos en el concilio, dice: Varones hermanos, yo con toda buena conciencia he conversado delante de Dios hasta el día de hoy.
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
El príncipe de los sacerdotes, Ananías, mandó entonces a los que estaban delante de él, que le hiriesen en la boca.
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
Entonces Pablo le dijo: Dios te herirá a ti, pared blanqueada; ¿y estás tú sentado para juzgarme conforme a la ley, y contra la ley me mandas herir?
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Y los que estaban presentes dijeron: ¿Al sumo sacerdote de Dios maldices?
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
Y Pablo dijo: No sabía, hermanos, que era el príncipe de los sacerdotes; pues escrito está: Al príncipe de tu pueblo no maldecirás.
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
Entonces Pablo, sabiendo que una parte era de saduceos, y la otra de fariseos, clamó en el concilio: Varones hermanos, yo soy fariseo, hijo de fariseo: de la esperanza y de la resurrección de los muertos soy yo juzgado.
7 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
Y como hubo dicho esto, fue hecha disensión entre los fariseos y los saduceos; y la multitud fue dividida.
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
(Porque los saduceos dicen que no hay resurrección, ni ángel, ni espíritu; mas los fariseos confiesan ambas cosas.)
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)
Y se levantó un gran clamor: y levantándose los escribas de la parte de los fariseos, contendían diciendo: Ningún mal hallamos en este hombre; que si espíritu le ha hablado, o ángel, no resistamos a Dios.
10 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
Y habiendo grande disensión, el tribuno, teniendo temor de que Pablo fuese despedazado de ellos, mandó venir una compañía de soldados, y arrebatarle de en medio de ellos, y llevarle a la fortaleza.
11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
Y la noche siguiente, presentándosele el Señor, le dijo: Confía, Pablo; que como has testificado de mí en Jerusalén, así te conviene testificar también en Roma.
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
Y venido el día, algunos de los judíos se juntaron, e hicieron voto bajo maldición, diciendo que ni comerían ni beberían hasta que hubiesen matado a Pablo.
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)
Y eran más de cuarenta los que habían hecho esta conjuración;
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
los cuales se fueron al príncipe de los sacerdotes y a los ancianos, y dijeron: Nosotros hemos hecho voto bajo maldición, que no hemos de gustar nada hasta que hayamos matado a Pablo.
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
Ahora pues, vosotros, con el concilio, requerid al tribuno que le saque mañana a vosotros como que queréis entender de él alguna cosa más cierta; y nosotros, antes que él llegue, estaremos aparejados para matarle.
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
Entonces un hijo de la hermana de Pablo, oyendo las asechanzas, fue, y entró en la fortaleza, y dio aviso a Pablo.
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
Y Pablo, llamando a uno de los centuriones, dice: Lleva a este joven al tribuno, porque tiene cierto aviso que darle.
18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.
El entonces tomándole, le llevó al tribuno, y dijo: El preso Pablo, llamándome, me rogó que trajese a ti este joven, que tiene algo que hablarte.
19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
Y el tribuno, tomándole de la mano y retirándose aparte, le preguntó: ¿Qué es lo que tienes que decirme?
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
Y él dijo: Los judíos han concertado rogarte que mañana saques a Pablo al concilio, como que han de inquirir de él alguna cosa más cierta.
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
Mas tú no los creas; porque más de cuarenta hombres de ellos le acechan, los cuales han hecho voto bajo maldición, de no comer ni beber hasta que le hayan muerto; y ahora están apercibidos esperando tu promesa.
22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
Entonces el tribuno despidió al joven, mandándole que a nadie dijese que le había dado aviso de esto.
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
Y llamados dos centuriones, les mandó que apercibiesen doscientos soldados, que fuesen hasta Cesarea, y setenta de a caballo con los doscientos lanceros, que lo acompañasen desde la hora tercera de la noche.
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
Y que aparejasen cabalgaduras en que poniendo a Pablo, le llevasen a salvo a Félix, el gobernador.
25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:
Escribió una carta en estos términos:
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
Claudio Lisias al excelentísimo gobernador Félix: Salud.
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;
A este varón, tomado de los judíos, y que lo comenzaban a matar, libré yo sobreviniendo con una compañía de soldados, entendiendo que era romano.
28 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;
Y queriendo saber la causa por qué le acusaban, le llevé al concilio de ellos;
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
y hallé que le acusaban de cuestiones de la ley de ellos, y que ningún crimen tenía digno de muerte o de prisión.
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)
Mas siéndome dado aviso de asechanzas que le habían aparejado los judíos, en la misma hora le he enviado a ti, y he denunciado también a los acusadores que traten delante de ti lo que tienen contra él. Pásalo bien.
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.
Y los soldados, tomando a Pablo como les era mandado, le llevaron de noche a Antípatris.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;
Y al día siguiente, dejando a los de a caballo que fuesen con él, se volvieron a la fortaleza.
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
Y como llegaron a Cesarea, y dieron la carta al gobernador presentaron también a Pablo delante de él.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Y el gobernador, leída la carta, preguntó de qué provincia era; y entendiendo que de Cilicia,
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
te oiré, dijo, cuando vinieren tus acusadores. Y mandó que le guardasen en el pretorio de Herodes.
