Hechos 13
1 En la iglesia de Antioquía había profetas y maestros: Bernabé, Simón llamado Negro, Lucio el cireneo, Manaén, hermano de crianza de Herodes el tetrarca, y Saulo.
Now in the church in Antioch, there were some prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon (who is called Niger), Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 Cuando éstos ministraban al Señor y ayunaban, el Espíritu Santo dijo: Apártenme a Bernabé y a Saulo para la obra a la cual los llamé.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
3 Ayunaron y hablaron con Dios, impusieron las manos sobre ellos y los despidieron.
After they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on these men, they sent them off.
4 Ellos, enviados por el Santo Espíritu, bajaron a Seleucia y de allí navegaron a Chipre.
So Barnabas and Saul obeyed the Holy Spirit and went down to Seleucia; from there they sailed to the island of Cyprus.
5 Cuando llegaron a Salamina proclamaron la Palabra de Dios en las congregaciones de los judíos. Y llevaron a Juan Marcos como ayudante.
When they were in the city of Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John Mark as their assistant.
6 Recorrieron toda la isla y llegaron a Pafos, donde hallaron a Barjesús, un mago y falso profeta judío,
When they had gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar Jesus.
7 quien estaba con el procónsul Sergio Paulo, hombre inteligente. Éste llamó a Bernabé y Saulo para oír la Palabra de Dios.
This magician associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, because he wanted to hear the word of God.
8 El mago Elimas (así se traduce su nombre), se les oponía e intentó apartar al procónsul de la fe.
But Elymas “the magician” (that is how his name is translated) opposed them; he tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Entonces Saulo, es decir, Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, fijó sus ojos en él
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him intensely.
10 y dijo: ¡Oh lleno de todo engaño y maldad, hijo del diablo, enemigo de toda justicia! ¿No cesarás de trastornar los rectos caminos del Señor?
and said, “You son of the devil, you are full of all kinds of deceit and wickedness. You are an enemy of every kind of righteousness. You will never stop twisting the straight paths of the Lord, will you?
11 [¡La] mano del Señor está contra ti! Estarás ciego por un tiempo. No verás la luz del sol. De inmediato cayeron sobre él niebla y oscuridad. Andaba alrededor y buscaba lazarillos.
Now look, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for a while.” Immediately there fell on Elymas a mist and darkness; he started going around asking people to lead him by the hand.
12 Al ver lo sucedido, asombrado a causa de la doctrina del Señor, el procónsul creyó.
After the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
13 Pablo y sus compañeros zarparon de Pafos y fueron a Perge de Panfilia. Entonces Juan [Marcos] desertó de ellos y regresó a Jerusalén.
Now Paul and his friends set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 De Perge fueron a Antioquía de Pisidia. El sábado entraron en la congregación y se sentaron.
Paul and his friends traveled from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 Después de la lectura de la Ley y de los profetas, los principales de la congregación les enviaron un mensaje: Varones hermanos, si ustedes tienen una palabra de exhortación para el pueblo, hablen.
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people here, say it.”
16 Entonces Pablo [se] levantó, hizo señal con la mano y dijo: Varones israelitas y temerosos de Dios, escuchen.
So Paul stood up and motioned with his hand; he said, “Men of Israel and you who honor God, listen.

22 Después de quitarlo, les levantó a David como rey, de quien testificó: Hallé a David [hijo] de Isaí, un varón según mi corazón, quien hará todas las cosas según mis deseos.
After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'
23 De la descendencia de éste, Dios trajo a Jesús como Salvador para Israel según la promesa.
From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.
24 Antes de su venida, Juan proclamó un bautismo de cambio de mente a todo el pueblo de Israel.
This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Cuando Juan terminaba su carrera decía: ¿Quién suponen que soy yo? Yo no soy el Cristo, pero detrás de mí viene Uno de Quien no soy digno de desatar las sandalias de sus pies.
As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

32 Nosotros también les anunciamos las Buenas Noticias de la promesa dada a los antepasados:
So we are telling you the good news that what God promised to our fathers
33 Al resucitar a Jesús, Dios cumplió esta promesa a nosotros, sus descendientes, como también está escrito en el salmo segundo: Mi Hijo eres Tú. Yo te engendré hoy.
he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are my Son, today I have become your Father.'
34 Y en cuanto a que lo levantó de entre [los] muertos para nunca pasar a corrupción, dijo: Les daré las santas y fieles [misericordias prometidas] a David.
The fact that he raised him up from the dead so that his body would never decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
35 Por lo cual dice también otro salmo: No permitirás que tu Santo pase a descomposición.
This is why he also says in another Psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
36 Porque ciertamente David, después de servir a su generación según el propósito de Dios, murió, fue sepultado junto a sus antepasado y se descompuso.

By him every one who believes is justified from all the things which the law of Moses could not justify you.
40 Cuidado que no les venga lo dicho por los profetas:
So then be careful that the thing the prophets spoke about does not happen to you:
41 Tengan cuidado, [ustedes], los que menosprecian. Asómbrense y perezcan, porque Yo haré una obra en sus días que de ningún modo creerían, si alguien se la cuenta.
'Look, you despisers, and be astonished and then perish; For I am doing a work in your days, A work that you shall never believe, even if someone announces it to you.'”

But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from yourselves and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, see, we will turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Porque así el Señor nos lo mandó: Te puse como luz de las naciones, a fin de que [lleves] la salvación hasta lo último de la tierra.
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'”
