Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had lanched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the [day] following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara:
Cuando, arrancándonos de ellos, nos embarcamos, navegamos derechamente rumbo a Coos, al día siguiente a Rodas, y de allí a Pátara.
2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Y hallando una nave que hacía la travesía a Fenicia, subimos a su bordo y nos hicimos a la vela.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Avistamos a Chipre, que dejamos a la izquierda, navegamos hacia Siria, y aportamos a Tiro, porque allí la nave tenía que dejar su cargamento.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Encontramos allí a los discípulos, con los cuales permanecimos siete días. Y ellos decían a Pablo, por el Espíritu, que no subiese a Jerusalén.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed, and proceeded on our way; and they all conducted us with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city; and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Pasados aquellos días, salimos y nos íbamos, acompañándonos todos ellos, con sus mujeres e hijos, hasta fuera de la ciudad. Allí, puestos de rodillas en la playa, hicimos oración,
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
y nos despedimos mutuamente. Nosotros subimos a la nave, y ellos se volvieron a sus casas.
7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Concluyendo nuestra navegación, llegamos de Tiro a Ptolemaida, donde saludamos a los hermanos y nos quedamos con ellos un día.
8 And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed, and came to Cesarea; and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
Partiendo al día siguiente llegamos a Cesarea, donde entramos en la casa de Felipe, el evangelista, que era uno de los siete, y nos hospedamos con él.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
Este tenía cuatro hijas, vírgenes, que profetizaban.
10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Deteniéndonos varios días, bajó de Judea un profeta, llamado Agabo;
11 And when he had come to us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.
el cual, viniendo a nosotros, tomó el ceñidor de Pablo, atose los pies y las manos, y dijo: “Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán en Jerusalén los judíos al hombre cuyo es este ceñidor, y le entregarán en manos de los gentiles”.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Cuando oímos esto, tanto nosotros, como los del lugar, le suplicábamos a Pablo que no subiera a Jerusalén.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep, and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Pablo entonces respondió: “¿Qué hacéis, llorando y quebrantándome el corazón, pues dispuesto estoy, no solo a ser atado, sino aun a morir en Jerusalén, por el nombre del Señor Jesús?”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Y no dejándose él disuadir, nos aquietamos, diciendo: “¡Hágase la voluntad del Señor!”
15 And after those days we took up our furniture, and went up to Jerusalem.
Al cabo de estos días, nos dispusimos para el viaje, y subimos a Jerusalén.
16 There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Algunos discípulos iban con nosotros desde Cesarea y nos condujeron a casa de Mnason de Chipre, un antiguo discípulo, en cuya casa debíamos hospedarnos.
17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Llegados a Jerusalén, los hermanos nos recibieron con gozo,
18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us to James: and all the elders were present.
Al día siguiente, Pablo, juntamente con nosotros, visitó a Santiago, estando presentes todos los presbíteros.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Los saludó y contó una por una las cosas que Dios había obrado entre los gentiles por su ministerio.
20 And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Ellos, habiéndolo oído, glorificaban a Dios, mas le dijeron: “Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares, entre los judíos, han abrazado la fe, y todos ellos son celosos de la Ley.
21 And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying, That they ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs.
Pues bien, ellos han oído acerca de ti que enseñas a todos los judíos de la dispersión, a apostatar de Moisés, diciendo que no circunciden sus a hijos ni caminen según las tradiciones.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
¿Qué hacer, pues? De todos modos oirán que tú has venido.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: we have four men who have a vow on them;
Haz por tanto esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que están obligados por un voto.
24 Take them, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that] thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Tómalos y purifícate con ellos, y págales los gastos para que se hagan rasurar la cabeza; entonces sabrán todos que no hay nada de las cosas que han oído sobre ti, sino que tú también andas en la observancia de la Ley.
25 As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written [and] concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from lewdness.
Mas en cuanto a los gentiles que han abrazado la fe, nosotros ya hemos mandado una epístola, determinando que se abstengan de las carnes sacrificadas a los ídolos, de la sangre, de lo ahogado y de la fornicación”.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Entonces Pablo, tomando a los hombres, se purificó con ellos al día siguiente y entró en el Templo, anunciando el vencimiento de los días de la purificación, hasta que se ofreciese por cada uno de ellos la ofrenda.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
Estando para cumplirse los siete días, lo vieron los judíos de Asia en el Templo, y alborotando todo el pueblo le echaron mano,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help. This is the man that teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further, hath brought Greeks also into the temple; and hath polluted this holy place.
gritando: “¡Varones de Israel, ayudadnos! Este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña a todos contra el pueblo, y contra la Ley, y contra este lugar; y además de esto, ha introducido a griegos en el Templo, y ha profanado este lugar santo”,
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city, Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
Porque habían visto anteriormente con él en la ciudad a Trófimo, efesio, y se imaginaban que Pablo le había introducido en el Templo.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple. And forthwith the doors were shut.
Conmoviose, pues, toda la ciudad, y se alborotó el pueblo; después prendieron a Pablo y lo arrastraron fuera del Templo, cuyas puertas en seguida fueron cerradas.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Cuando ya trataban de matarle, llegó aviso al tribuno de la cohorte, de que toda Jerusalén estaba revuelta.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating Paul.
Este, tomando al instante soldados y centuriones, bajó corriendo hacia ellos. En cuanto vieron al tribuno y a los soldados, cesaron de golpear a Pablo.
33 Then the chief captain came near and took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains: and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Entonces acercándose el tribuno, le prendió, mandó que le atasen con dos cadenas, y le preguntó quién era y qué había hecho.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
De entre la turba unos voceaban una cosa, y otros otra, mas no pudiendo él averiguar nada con certeza, a causa del tumulto, mandó conducirlo a la fortaleza.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne by the soldiers, for the violence of the people.
Al llegar ( Pablo ) a las gradas, los soldados hubieron de llevarlo en peso por la violencia de la turba,
36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
porque seguía la multitud del pueblo, gritando: “¡Quítalo!”
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Estando ya Pablo para ser introducido en la fortaleza, dijo al tribuno: “¿Me es permitido decirte una cosa?” Él contesto: “¿Tú sabes hablar griego?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
¿No eres pues aquel egipcio que hace poco hizo un motín y llevó al desierto los cuatro mil hombres de los sicarios?”
39 But Paul said, I am a man [who am] a Jew of Tarsus, [a city] of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee suffer me to speak to the people.
A lo cual dijo Pablo: “Yo soy judío, de Tarso en Cilicia, ciudadano de una no ignorada ciudad; te ruego me permitas hablar al pueblo”.
40 And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made entire silence, he spoke to [them] in the Hebrew language, saying,
Permitiéndoselo él, Pablo, puesto de pie en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo; y cuando se hizo un gran silencio, les dirigió la palabra en hebreo, diciendo:
