Hechos de los Apóstoles 18
1Después de esto, Pablo partió de Atenas y se fue a Corinto. After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.2donde encontró a un judío, llamado Aquila, natural del Ponto, que poco antes había venido de Italia, con Priscila, su mujer, porque Claudio había ordenado que todos los judíos saliesen de Roma. Se unió a ellos; And upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome,) he met with them.3y como era del mismo oficio, hospedose con ellos y trabajaba, porque su oficio era hacer tiendas de campaña. And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)4Todos los sábados disputaba en la sinagoga, procurando convencer a judíos y griegos. And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.5Mas cuando Silas y Timoteo hubieron llegado de Macedonia, Pablo se dio todo entero a la palabra, testificando a los judíos que Jesús era el Cristo. And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.6Y como estos se oponían y blasfemaban, sacudió sus vestidos y les dijo: “Caiga vuestra sangre sobre vuestra cabeza: limpio yo, desde ahora me dirijo a los gentiles”. But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: “Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.”7Y trasladándose de allí entró en casa de uno que se llamaba Ticio Justo, adorador de Dios, cuya casa estaba junto a la sinagoga. And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.8Entretanto, Crispo, jefe de la sinagoga, creyó en el Señor, con toda su casa; y muchos de los corintios que prestaban oídos, creían y se bautizaban. Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.9Entonces, el Señor dijo a Pablo de noche en una visión: “No temas, sino habla y no calles; Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.10porque Yo estoy contigo, y nadie pondrá las manos sobre ti para hacerte mal, ya que tengo un pueblo numeroso en esta ciudad”. For I am with you. And no one will take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me.”11Y permaneció un año y seis meses, enseñando entre ellos la palabra de Dios. Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.12Siendo Galión procónsul de Acaya, los judíos se levantaron a una contra Pablo y le llevaron ante el tribunal, But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,13diciendo: Este persuade a la gente que dé a Dios un culto contrario a la Ley. saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”14Pablo iba a abrir la boca, cuando dijo Galión a los judíos: “Si se tratase de una injusticia o acción villana, razón sería, oh judíos, que yo os admitiese; Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.15mas si son cuestiones de palabras y de nombres y de vuestra Ley, vedlo vosotros mismos. Yo no quiero ser juez de tales cosas”. Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things.”16Y los echó de su tribunal. And he ordered them from the tribunal.17Entonces todos los griegos asieron a Sóstenes, jefe de la sinagoga, y le golpearon delante del tribunal, sin que Galión hiciera caso de esto. But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.18Pablo, habiéndose detenido aún no pocos días, se despidió de los hermanos y se hizo a la vela hacia Siria, en compañía de Priscila y Aquila, luego de haberse rapado la cabeza en Cencrea, porque tenía un voto. Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.19Llegaron a Éfeso, y allí los dejó y se fue, por su parte, a la sinagoga y disputaba con los judíos. And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.20Y aunque estos le rogaban que se quedase por más tiempo, no consintió, Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.21sino que se despidió y dijo: “Otra vez, si Dios quiere, volveré a vosotros”, y partió de Éfeso. Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.22Desembarcó en Cesarea, subió (a Jerusalén) a saludar a la Iglesia, y bajó a Antioquía. And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.23Pasado algún tiempo, salió y recorrió sucesivamente la región de Galacia y Frigia, fortaleciendo a todos los discípulos. And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.24Vino a Éfeso cierto judío de nombre Apolo, natural de Alejandría, varón elocuente y muy versado en las Escrituras. Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.25Este, instruido acerca del camino del Señor, hablaba en el fervor de su espíritu y enseñaba con exactitud las cosas tocantes a Jesús, pero solo conocía el bautismo de Juan. He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.26Se puso a hablar con denuedo en la sinagoga; mas cuando le oyeron Priscila y Aquila, le llevaron consigo y le expusieron más exactamente el camino de Dios. And so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.27Y deseando él pasar a Acaya, le animaron los hermanos y escribieron a los discípulos para que le recibiesen, y cuando hubo llegado, fue de mucho provecho a los que, por la gracia, habían creído; Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.28porque vigorosamente redargüía a los judíos, en público, demostrando por medio de las Escrituras que Jesús era el Cristo. For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
