Hechos de los Apóstoles 13
1Había en la Iglesia de Antioquía profetas y doctores: Bernabé, Simón por sobrenombre el Negro, Lucio de Cirene, Manahén, hermano de leche del tetrarca Herodes, y Saulo. Now there were, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.2A ellos, mientras ejercían el ministerio ante el Señor y ayunaban, dijo el Espíritu Santo: “Separadme a Bernabé y Saulo para la obra a la cual los tengo elegidos”. Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them.”3Entonces, después de ayunar y orar, les impusieron las manos y los despidieron. Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away.4Enviados, pues, por el Espíritu Santo, bajaron a Seleucia, desde donde navegaron a Chipre. And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there they sailed to Cyprus.5Llegados a Salamina predicaron la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas de los judíos, teniendo a Juan (Marcos) como ayudante. And when they had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry.6Después de recorrer toda la isla hasta Pafo, encontraron un judío, mago y seudoprofeta, por nombre Barjesús, And when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu.7el cual estaba con el procónsul Sergio Pablo, hombre prudente, que llamó a Bernabé y Saulo, deseando oír la palabra de Dios. And he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, wanted to hear the Word of God.8Pero Elimas, el mago —así se interpreta su nombre— se les oponía, procurando apartar de la fe al procónsul. But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the Faith.9Entonces Saulo, que también se llamaba Pablo, lleno de Espíritu Santo, fijando en él sus ojos, Then Saul, who is also called Paul, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him,10dijo: “¡Oh hombre lleno de todo fraude y de toda malicia, hijo del diablo y enemigo de toda justicia! ¿No cesarás de pervertir los caminos rectos del Señor? and he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous ways of the Lord!11Ahora, pues, he aquí que la mano del Señor está sobre ti, y quedarás ciego, sin ver el sol hasta cierto tiempo”. Y al instante cayeron sobre él tinieblas y oscuridad, y dando vueltas buscaba a quien le tomase de la mano. And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you. And you will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might lead him by the hand.12Al ver lo sucedido el procónsul abrazó la fe, maravillado de la doctrina del Señor. Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over the doctrine of the Lord.13Pablo y sus compañeros dejaron entonces Pafo y fueron a Perge de Panfilia. Entretanto Juan se apartó de ellos y se volvió a Jerusalén. And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.14Ellos, empero, yendo más allá de Perge, llegaron a Antioquía de Pisidia, donde el día sábado entraron en la sinagoga y tomaron asiento. Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.15Después de la lectura de la Ley y de los Profetas, los jefes de la sinagoga enviaron a decirles: “Varones, hermanos, si tenéis una palabra de consuelo para el pueblo, hablad”. Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to the people, speak.”16Levantose entonces Pablo y haciendo señal (de silencio) con la mano, dijo: “Varones israelitas y los que teméis a Dios, escuchad. Then Paul, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely.17El Dios de este pueblo de Israel escogió a nuestros padres y ensalzó al pueblo durante su estancia en tierra de Egipto; y con brazo excelso los sacó de allí. The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there.18Los sufrió después por espacio de unos cuarenta años en el desierto, And throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert.19destruyó siete naciones en la tierra de Canaán y distribuyó en herencia sus tierras, And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land among them by lot,20como unos cuatrocientos cincuenta años después. Luego les dio jueces hasta el profeta Samuel. after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel.21Desde entonces pidieron rey, y Dios les dio a Saúl, hijo de Cis, varón de la tribu de Benjamín, por espacio de cuarenta años. And later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.22Depuesto este, les suscitó por rey a David, de quien también dio testimonio diciendo: “He hallado a David, hijo de Jesé, varón conforme a mi corazón quien cumplirá toda mi voluntad”. And having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.’23Del linaje de este, según la promesa, suscitó Dios para Israel un Salvador, Jesús. From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel.24Pero antes de su entrada, Juan predicó un bautismo de arrepentimiento a todo el pueblo de Israel. John was preaching, before the face of his advent, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.25Y al cumplir Juan su carrera dijo: “Yo no soy el que vosotros pensáis, mas después de mí vendrá uno, a quien no soy digno de desatar el calzado de sus pies”. Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’26Varones, hermanos, hijos del linaje de Abrahán, y los que entre vosotros son temerosos de Dios, a vosotros ha sido enviada la palabra de esta salvación. Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent.27Pues los habitantes de Jerusalén y sus jefes, desconociendo a Él y las palabras de los profetas que se leen todos los sábados, les dieron cumplimiento, condenándolo; For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.28y aunque no encontraron causa de muerte, pidieron a Pilato que se le quitase la vida. And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.29Y después de haber cumplido todo lo que de Él estaba escrito, descolgáronle del madero y le pusieron en un sepulcro. And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.30Mas Dios le resucitó de entre los muertos, Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.31y se apareció durante muchos días a aquellos que con Él habían subido de Galilea a Jerusalén. Los cuales ahora son sus testigos ante el pueblo. And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.32Nosotros os anunciamos la promesa dada a los padres, And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,33esta es la que ha cumplido Dios con nosotros, los hijos de ellos, resucitando a Jesús según está escrito también en el Salmo segundo: “Tú eres mi Hijo, hoy te he engendrado”. has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’34Y que lo resucitó de entre los muertos para nunca más volver a la corrupción, esto lo anunció así: “Os cumpliré las promesas santas y fieles dadas a David”. Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’35Y en otro lugar dice: “No permitirás que tu Santo vea la corrupción”. And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.’36Porque David después de haber servido en su tiempo al designio de Dios, murió y fue agregado a sus padres, y vio la corrupción. For David, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption.37Aquel, empero, a quien Dios resucitó, no vio corrupción alguna. Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.38Sabed, pues, varones, hermanos, que por medio de Este se os anuncia remisión de los pecados; y de todo cuanto no habéis podido ser justificados en la Ley de Moisés, Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.39en Él es justificado todo aquel que tiene fe. In him, all who believe are justified.40Mirad, pues, no recaiga sobre vosotros lo que se ha dicho en los Profetas: Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm you:41“Mirad, burladores, maravillaos y escondeos, porque Yo hago una obra en vuestros días, obra que no creeréis, aun cuando alguno os lo explicare”. ‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.’ ”42Cuando ellos salieron, los suplicaron que el sábado siguiente les hablasen de estas cosas. Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.43Y clausurada la asamblea, muchos de los judíos y de los prosélitos temerosos de Dios siguieron a Pablo y Bernabé, los cuales conversando con ellos los exhortaban a perseverar en la gracia de Dios. And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.44El sábado siguiente casi toda la ciudad se reunió para oír la palabra de Dios. Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.45Pero viendo los judíos las multitudes, se llenaron de celos y blasfemando contradecían a lo que Pablo predicaba. Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.46Entonces Pablo y Bernabé dijeron con toda franqueza: “Era necesario que la palabra de Dios fuese anunciada primeramente a vosotros; después que vosotros la rechazáis y os juzgáis indignos de la vida eterna, Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.47he aquí que nos dirigimos a los gentiles. Pues así nos ha mandado el Señor: “Yo te puse por lumbrera de las naciones a fin de que seas para salvación hasta los términos de la tierra”. For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”48Al oír esto se alegraban los gentiles y glorificaban la palabra del Señor. Y creyeron todos cuantos estaban ordenados para vida eterna. Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.49Y la palabra del Señor se esparcía por toda aquella región. Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.50Los judíos, empero, instigaron a las mujeres devotas de distinción, y a los principales de la ciudad, suscitando una persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé, y los echaron de su territorio; But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.51los cuales sacudieron contra ellos el polvo de sus pies y se fueron a Iconio. But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.52Mas los discípulos quedaron llenos de gozo y del Espíritu Santo. The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.
