PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 En la iglesia que estaba en Antioquía había profetas y maestros: Bernabé, Simón llamado Niger, Lucio de Cirene, Manaén, que se había criado con Herodes el tetrarca, y Saulo.
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
1 Ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ κατὰ τὴν οὖσαν ἐκκλησίαν προφῆται καὶ διδάσκαλοι, ὅ τε Βαρνάβας καὶ Συμεὼν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος Νίγερ, καὶ Λούκιος ὁ Κυρηναῖος, Μαναήν τε Ἡρῴδου τοῦ τετράρχου σύντροφος καὶ Σαῦλος.
2 Mientras ministraban al Señor y ayunaban, el Espíritu Santo dijo: Aparten para mí a Bernabé y a Saulo para la obra a la que los he llamado.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
2 λειτουργούντων δὲ αὐτῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ νηστευόντων εἶπε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον· ἀφορίσατε δή μοι τὸν Βαρνάβαν καὶ τὸν Σαῦλον εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς.
3 Entonces, después de ayunar y orar, les impusieron las manos y los despidieron.
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
3 τότε νηστεύσαντες καὶ προσευξάμενοι καὶ ἐπιθέντες αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας ἀπέλυσαν.
4 Así, enviados por el Espíritu Santo, descendieron a Seleucia, y de allí navegaron a Chipre.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
4 Οὗτοι μὲν οὖν ἐκπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου κατῆλθον εἰς τὴν Σελεύκειαν, ἐκεῖθέν τε ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς τὴν Κύπρον,
5 Cuando llegaron a Salamina, anunciaban la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas de los judíos. También tenían a Juan como ayudante.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
5 καὶ γενόμενοι ἐν Σαλαμῖνι κατήγγελλον τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· εἶχον δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννην ὑπηρέτην.
6 Después de recorrer toda la isla hasta Pafos, encontraron a cierto mago, falso profeta judío, llamado Barjesús.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
6 Διελθόντες δὲ τὴν νῆσον ἄχρι Πάφου εὗρόν τινα μάγον ψευδοπροφήτην Ἰουδαῖον ᾧ ὄνομα Βαριησοῦς,
7 Este estaba con el procónsul Sergio Paulo, hombre inteligente. Sergio Paulo mandó llamar a Bernabé y a Saulo, porque deseaba oír la palabra de Dios.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
7 ὃς ἦν σὺν τῷ ἀνθυπάτῳ Σεργίῳ Παύλῳ, ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ. οὗτος προσκαλεσάμενος Βαρνάβαν καὶ Σαῦλον ἐπεζήτησεν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ·
8 Pero Elimas el mago, pues así se traduce su nombre, se les oponía, procurando apartar de la fe al procónsul.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
8 ἀνθίστατο δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἐλύμας ὁ μάγος — οὕτω γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ — ζητῶν διαστρέψαι τὸν ἀνθύπατον ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως.
9 Entonces Saulo, que también se llama Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, fijó los ojos en él
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
9 Σαῦλος δέ, ὁ καὶ Παῦλος, πλησθεὶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ ἀτενίσας πρὸς αὐτὸν
10 y dijo: ¡Hijo del diablo, lleno de todo engaño y de toda maldad, enemigo de toda justicia! ¿No dejarás de torcer los caminos rectos del Señor?
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
10 εἶπεν· ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας, υἱὲ διαβόλου, ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης, οὐ παύσῃ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς Κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας;
11 Ahora, mira, la mano del Señor está contra ti. Quedarás ciego y no verás el sol por un tiempo. Al instante cayeron sobre él oscuridad y tinieblas, y andaba buscando quien lo guiara de la mano.
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
11 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔσῃ τυφλὸς μὴ βλέπων τὸν ἥλιον ἄχρι καιροῦ. παραχρῆμα δὲ ἔπεσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος, καὶ περιάγων ἐζήτει χειραγωγούς.
12 Entonces el procónsul, al ver lo que había sucedido, creyó, maravillado de la enseñanza del Señor.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
12 τότε ἰδὼν ὁ ἀνθύπατος τὸ γεγονὸς ἐπίστευσεν, ἐκπλησσόμενος ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ Κυρίου.
13 Pablo y sus compañeros zarparon de Pafos y llegaron a Perge de Panfilia. Pero Juan se apartó de ellos y volvió a Jerusalén.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
13 Ἀναχθέντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Πάφου οἱ περὶ τὸν Παῦλον ἦλθον εἰς Πέργην τῆς Παμφυλίας· Ἰωάννης δὲ ἀποχωρήσας ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
14 Ellos, pasando de Perge, llegaron a Antioquía de Pisidia. Entraron en la sinagoga el día de reposo y se sentaron.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
14 Αὐτοὶ δὲ διελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Πέργης παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν τῆς Πισιδίας, καὶ εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐκάθισαν.
15 Después de la lectura de la Ley y de los Profetas, los dirigentes de la sinagoga les mandaron decir: Hermanos, si tienen alguna palabra de exhortación para el pueblo, hablen.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
15 μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχισυνάγωγοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες· ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, εἰ ἔστι λόγος ἐν ὑμῖν παρακλήσεως πρὸς τὸν λαόν, λέγετε.
16 Entonces Pablo se levantó, hizo señal con la mano y dijo: Varones de Israel, y ustedes que temen a Dios, escuchen.
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
16 ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν· ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν, ἀκούσατε.
17 El Dios de este pueblo de Israel escogió a nuestros padres, engrandeció al pueblo cuando vivían como extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto, y con brazo levantado los sacó de allí.
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
17 ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου [Ἰσραὴλ] ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸν λαὸν ὕψωσεν ἐν τῇ παροικίᾳ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ μετὰ βραχίονος ὑψηλοῦ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ αὐτῆς,
18 Durante unos cuarenta años soportó su conducta en el desierto.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
18 καὶ ὡς τεσσαρακονταετῆ χρόνον ἐτροποφόρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
19 Después de destruir siete naciones en la tierra de Canaán, les dio esa tierra como herencia.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
19 καὶ καθελὼν ἔθνη ἑπτὰ ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν κατεκληρονόμησεν αὐτοῖς τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν.
20 Después de esto, por unos cuatrocientos cincuenta años, les dio jueces hasta el profeta Samuel.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
20 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ὡς ἔτεσι τετρακοσίοις καὶ πεντήκοντα ἔδωκε κριτὰς ἕως Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου.
21 Luego pidieron un rey, y Dios les dio a Saúl, hijo de Cis, hombre de la tribu de Benjamín, por cuarenta años.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
21 κἀκεῖθεν ᾐτήσαντο βασιλέα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ υἱὸν Κίς, ἄνδρα ἐκ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ἔτη τεσσαράκοντα·
22 Después de quitarlo, les levantó por rey a David, de quien dio testimonio diciendo: He hallado a David, hijo de Isaí, hombre conforme a mi corazón, quien hará toda mi voluntad.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
22 καὶ μεταστήσας αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Δαυῒδ εἰς βασιλέα, ᾧ καὶ εἶπε μαρτυρήσας· εὗρον Δαυῒδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου.
23 De la descendencia de David, conforme a su promesa, Dios levantó para Israel un Salvador: Jesús.
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
23 τούτου ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος κατ᾽ ἐπαγγελίαν ἤγαγε τῷ Ἰσραὴλ σωτηρίαν,
24 Antes de su venida, Juan había predicado un bautismo de arrepentimiento a todo el pueblo de Israel.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
24 προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ βάπτισμα μετανοίας παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραήλ.
25 Cuando Juan terminaba su carrera, decía: ¿Quién piensan ustedes que soy? Yo no soy él. Pero después de mí viene uno de quien no soy digno de desatar las sandalias de sus pies.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
25 ὡς δὲ ἐπλήρου ὁ Ἰωάννης τὸν δρόμον, ἔλεγε· τίνα με ὑπονοεῖτε εἶναι; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ἀλλ᾽ ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετ᾽ ἐμὲ οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν λῦσαι.
26 Hermanos, hijos de la familia de Abraham, y ustedes que temen a Dios: a nosotros ha sido enviada la palabra de esta salvación.
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
26 Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν, ὑμῖν ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ἀπεστάλη.
27 Porque los que viven en Jerusalén y sus gobernantes no reconocieron a Jesús, ni entendieron las palabras de los profetas que se leen cada día de reposo. Pero al condenarlo, cumplieron esas palabras.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
27 οἱ γὰρ κατοικοῦντες [ἐν] Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν τοῦτον ἀγνοήσαντες, καὶ τὰς φωνὰς τῶν προφητῶν τὰς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκομένας κρίναντες ἐπλήρωσαν,
28 Aunque no encontraron en él ninguna causa de muerte, pidieron a Pilato que lo matara.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
28 καὶ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου εὑρόντες ᾐτήσαντο Πιλᾶτον ἀναιρεθῆναι αὐτόν.
29 Cuando cumplieron todo lo que estaba escrito acerca de él, lo bajaron del madero y lo pusieron en un sepulcro.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
29 ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον.
30 Pero Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
30 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν·
31 Durante muchos días fue visto por los que habían subido con él de Galilea a Jerusalén, quienes ahora son sus testigos ante el pueblo.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
31 ὃς ὤφθη ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, οἵτινές εἰσι μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν λαόν.
32 Nosotros les anunciamos las buenas noticias de la promesa hecha a los padres:
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
32 καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελιζόμεθα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίαν γενομένην, ὅτι ταύτην ὁ Θεὸς ἐκπεπλήρωκε τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν, ἡμῖν, ἀναστήσας Ἰησοῦν,
33 Dios la ha cumplido para nosotros, sus hijos, resucitando a Jesús, como también está escrito en el Salmo segundo: Tú eres mi Hijo; yo te he engendrado hoy.
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
33 ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ ψαλμῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ γέγραπται· υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.
34 Y acerca de que lo resucitó de entre los muertos para nunca volver a corrupción, Dios dijo así: Les daré las misericordias santas y seguras prometidas a David.
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
34 ὅτι δὲ ἀνέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν μηκέτι μέλλοντα ὑποστρέφειν εἰς διαφθοράν, οὕτως εἴρηκεν, ὅτι δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυῒδ τὰ πιστά.
35 Por eso también dice en otro Salmo: No permitirás que tu Santo vea corrupción.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
35 διὸ καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει· οὐ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.
36 Porque David, después de servir al propósito de Dios en su propia generación, durmió, fue reunido con sus padres y vio corrupción.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
36 Δαυῒδ μὲν γὰρ ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ ὑπηρετήσας τῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ βουλῇ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε διαφθοράν·
37 Pero aquel a quien Dios resucitó no vio corrupción.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
37 ὃν δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν, οὐκ εἶδε διαφθοράν.
38 Sepan, pues, hermanos, que por medio de este Jesús se les anuncia perdón de pecados.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
38 γνωστὸν οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὅτι διὰ τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται,
39 Por medio de él, todo el que cree es justificado de todas las cosas de las que no pudieron ser justificados por la Ley de Moisés.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39 καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι, ἐν τούτῳ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων δικαιοῦται.
40 Tengan cuidado, pues, para que no les suceda lo que fue dicho por los profetas:
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
40 βλέπετε οὖν μὴ ἐπέλθῃ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις·
41 Miren, burladores, asómbrense y desaparezcan, porque yo hago una obra en sus días, una obra que ustedes no creerán, aunque alguien se la cuente.
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
41 ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ἐγὼ ἐργάζομαι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, [ἔργον] ᾧ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν.
42 Cuando los judíos salieron de la sinagoga, los gentiles les rogaron que el siguiente día de reposo se les hablaran estas mismas palabras.
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
42 Ἐξιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς [τῶν Ἰουδαίων] παρεκάλουν τὰ ἔθνη εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
43 Cuando terminó la reunión, muchos de los judíos y de los prosélitos piadosos siguieron a Pablo y a Bernabé. Ellos les hablaban y los animaban a permanecer en la gracia de Dios.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
43 λυθείσης δὲ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἠκολούθησαν πολλοὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ τῶν σεβομένων προσηλύτων τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρνάβᾳ, οἵτινες προσλαλοῦντες αὐτοῖς ἔπειθον αὐτοὺς προσμένειν τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Θεοῦ.
44 El siguiente día de reposo, casi toda la ciudad se reunió para oír la palabra de Dios.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
44 Τῷ τε ἐρχομένῳ σαββάτῳ σχεδὸν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις συνήχθη ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
45 Pero cuando los judíos vieron la multitud, se llenaron de celos y contradecían lo que Pablo decía, hablando en contra y blasfemando.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
45 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τοὺς ὄχλους ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου καὶ ἀντέλεγον τοῖς ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου λεγομένοις ἀντιλέγοντες καὶ βλασφημοῦντες.
46 Entonces Pablo y Bernabé hablaron con valentía y dijeron: Era necesario que la palabra de Dios se les hablara primero a ustedes. Pero ya que la rechazan y no se consideran dignos de la vida eterna, ahora nos volvemos a los gentiles.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
46 παρρησιασάμενοι δὲ ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρνάβας εἶπον· ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη.
47 Porque así nos ha mandado el Señor: Te he puesto como luz para los gentiles, para que lleves salvación hasta lo último de la tierra.
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
47 οὕτω γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ Κύριος· τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.
48 Cuando los gentiles oyeron esto, se alegraron y glorificaban la palabra del Señor. Y creyeron todos los que estaban ordenados para vida eterna.
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
48 ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη ἔχαιρον καὶ ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον·
49 La palabra del Señor se difundía por toda aquella región.
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
49 διεφέρετο δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ Κυρίου δι᾽ ὅλης τῆς χώρας.
50 Pero los judíos incitaron a las mujeres piadosas y distinguidas, y a los principales de la ciudad. Levantaron persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé, y los expulsaron de su región.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
50 οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι παρώτρυναν τὰς σεβομένας γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς εὐσχήμονας καὶ τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπήγειραν διωγμὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Βαρνάβαν, καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
51 Entonces ellos sacudieron contra ellos el polvo de sus pies y fueron a Iconio.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
51 οἱ δὲ ἐκτιναξάμενοι τὸν κονιορτὸν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἦλθον εἰς Ἰκόνιον.
52 Y los discípulos estaban llenos de alegría y del Espíritu Santo.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
52 οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπληροῦντο χαρᾶς καὶ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου.

Ezekiel also speaks thus, The Spirit of the Lord came upon me, and said unto me, Thus saith the Lord. And again, The Holy Ghost said, unto the Apostles who were in Antioch, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
