Hechos 20

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

After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

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

When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

3 [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.

When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

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

He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.

But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

6 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.

We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

7 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.

On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.

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

There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.

9 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.

A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

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

Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

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

When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

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

They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

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

But we who went ahead to the ship set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

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

When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.

15 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.

Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we landed at Samos, and the day after we came to Miletus.

16 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.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

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

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the church.

18 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,

When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

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

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

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

how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,

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

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

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

And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

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

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

24 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.

But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

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

"And now, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face no more.

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

Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,

27 Porque no he rehuido anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.

for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

28 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.

Watch out for yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood.

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

For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

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

Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

32 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.

Now I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

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

I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.

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

You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

35 [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.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

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

When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

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

They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

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

sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
