RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 По ᲂу҆тише́нїи же молвы̀, призва́въ па́ѵелъ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ, ᲂу҆тѣ́шивъ и҆ цѣлова́въ и҆̀хъ, и҆зы́де и҆тѝ въ македо́нїю.
1 Y DESPUÉS que cesó el alboroto, llamando Pablo á los discípulos habiéndoles exhortado y abrazado, se despidió, y partió para ir á Macedonia.
2 Проше́дъ же страны̑ ѡ҆́ны и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шивъ и҆̀хъ сло́вомъ мно́гимъ, прїи́де во є҆лла́дꙋ:
2 Y andado que hubo aquellas partes, y exhortádoles con abundancia de palabra, vino á Grecia.
3 пожи́въ же мцⷭ҇ы трѝ, бы́вшꙋ на́нь навѣ́тꙋ ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й, хотѧ́щꙋ ѿвезти́сѧ въ сѷрі́ю, бы́сть хотѣ́нїе возврати́тисѧ сквозѣ̀ македо́нїю.
3 Y después de haber estado allí tres meses, y habiendo de navegar á Siria, le fueron puestas asechanzas por los Judíos; y así tomó consejo de volverse por Macedonia.
4 Послѣ́дова же є҆мꙋ̀ да́же до а҆сі́и сѡсїпа́тръ пѵ́рровъ бе́рѧнинъ, солꙋ́нѧне же а҆рїста́рхъ и҆ секꙋ́ндъ, и҆ га́їй де́рвѧнинъ и҆ тїмоѳе́й, а҆сі́ане же тѷхі́къ и҆ трофі́мъ.
4 Y le acompañaron hasta Asia Sopater Bereense, y [los] Tesalonicenses, Aristarco y Segundo; y Gayo de Derbe, y Timoteo; y de Asia, Tychîco y Trófimo.
5 Сі́и предше́дше жда́хꙋ на́съ въ трѡа́дѣ.
5 Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.
6 Мы́ же ѿвезо́хомсѧ по дне́хъ ѡ҆прѣсно́чныхъ ѿ фїлі̑ппъ и҆ прїидо́хомъ къ ни̑мъ въ трѡа́дꙋ во дне́хъ пѧтѝ, и҆дѣ́же пребы́хомъ дні́й се́дмь.
6 Y nosotros, pasados los días de los panes sin levadura, navegamos de Filipos y vinimos á ellos á Troas en cinco días, donde estuvimos siete días.
7 Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ, собра́вшымсѧ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ преломи́ти хлѣ́бъ, па́ѵелъ бесѣ́доваше къ ни̑мъ, хотѧ̀ и҆зы́ти на ᲂу҆́трїи, простре́ же сло́во до полꙋ́нощи.
7 Y el día primero de la semana, juntos los discípulos á partir el pan, Pablo les enseñaba, habiendo de partir al día siguiente: y alargó el discurso hasta la media noche.
8 Бѧ́хꙋ же свѣщы̀ мнѡ́ги въ го́рницѣ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ́хомъ со́брани.
8 Y había muchas lámparas en el aposento alto donde estaban juntos.
9 Сѣдѧ́ же нѣ́кто ю҆́ноша, и҆́менемъ є҆ѵтѵ́хъ, во ѻ҆кнѣ̀, ѡ҆тѧгче́нъ сно́мъ глꙋбо́кимъ, глаго́лющꙋ па́ѵлꙋ ѡ҆ мно́зѣ, прекло́ньсѧ ѿ сна̀, падѐ ѿ трекро́вника до́лꙋ, и҆ взѧ́ша є҆го̀ ме́ртва.
9 Y un mancebo llamado Eutichô que estaba sentado en la ventana, tomado de un sueño profundo, como Pablo disputaba largamente, postrado del sueño cayó del tercer piso abajo, y fué alzado muerto.
10 Соше́дъ же па́ѵелъ нападѐ на́нь, и҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь є҆го̀ речѐ: не мо́лвите, и҆́бо дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ въ не́мъ є҆́сть.
10 Entonces descendió Pablo, y derribóse sobre él, y abrazándole, dijo: No os alborotéis, que su alma está en él.
11 Возше́дъ же и҆ прело́мль хлѣ́бъ и҆ вкꙋ́шь, дово́льнѡ же бесѣ́довавъ да́же до зарѝ, и҆ та́кѡ и҆зы́де.
11 Después subiendo, y partiendo el pan, y gustando, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así partió.
12 Приведо́ша же ѻ҆́трока жи́ва и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шишасѧ не ма́лѡ.
12 Y llevaron al mozo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.
13 Мы́ же, прише́дше въ кора́бль, ѿвезо́хомсѧ во а҆́ссонъ, ѿтꙋ́дꙋ хотѧ́ще поѧ́ти па́ѵла: та́кѡ бо на́мъ бѣ̀ повелѣ́лъ, хотѧ̀ са́мъ пѣ́шь и҆тѝ.
13 Y nosotros subiendo en el navío, navegamos á Assón, para recibir de allí á Pablo; pues así había determinado que debía él ir por tierra.
14 И҆ ꙗ҆́коже сни́десѧ съ на́ми во а҆́ссонѣ, взе́мше є҆го̀ прїидо́хомъ въ мїтѷли́нъ.
14 Y como se juntó con nosotros en Assón, tomándole vinimos á Mitilene.
15 И҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ ѿве́зшесѧ, во ᲂу҆́трїе приста́хомъ проти́вꙋ хі́ю, въ дрꙋгі́й же ѿвезо́хомсѧ въ са́монъ, и҆ пребы́вше въ трѡгѷллі́и, въ грѧдꙋ́щїй же де́нь прїидо́хомъ въ мїли́тъ:
15 Y navegando de allí, al día siguiente llegamos delante de Chîo, y al otro día tomamos puerto en Samo: y habiendo reposado en Trogilio, al día siguiente llegamos á Mileto.
16 сꙋди́ бо па́ѵелъ ми́мо и҆тѝ є҆фе́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀ закоснѣ́ти во а҆сі́и, тща́шебосѧ, а҆́ще возмо́жно бꙋ́детъ, въ де́нь пѧтьдесѧ́тный бы́ти во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
16 Porque Pablo se había propuesto pasar adelante de Efeso; por no detenerse en Asia: porque se apresuraba por hacer el día de Pentecostés, si le fuese posible, en Jerusalem.
17 Ѿ мїли́та же посла́въ во є҆фе́съ, призва̀ пресвѵ́теры цр҃кѡ́вныѧ,
17 Y enviando desde Mileto á Efeso, hizo llamar á los ancianos de la iglesia.
18 и҆ ꙗ҆́коже прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: вы̀ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ пе́рвагѡ днѐ, ѿне́лиже прїидо́хъ во а҆сі́ю, ка́кѡ съ ва́ми всѐ вре́мѧ бы́хъ,
18 Y cuando vinieron á él, les dijo: Vosotros sabéis cómo, desde el primer día que entré en Asia, he estado con vosotros por todo el tiempo,
19 рабо́таѧ гдⷭ҇еви со всѧ́кимъ смиреномⷣрїемъ и҆ мно́гими слеза́ми и҆ напа́стьми, прилꙋчи́вшимисѧ мнѣ̀ ѿ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ навѣ̑тъ:
19 Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad, y con muchas lágrimas, y tentaciones que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos:
20 ꙗ҆́кѡ ни въ чесо́мъ ѿ поле́зныхъ ѡ҆бинꙋ́хсѧ, є҆́же сказа́ти ва́мъ и҆ наꙋчи́ти ва́съ пред̾ людьмѝ и҆ по домѡ́мъ,
20 Cómo nada que fuese útil he rehuído de anunciaros y enseñaros, públicamente y por las casas,
21 засвидѣ́тельствꙋѧ і҆ꙋде́ємъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ є҆́же къ бг҃ꙋ покаѧ́нїе и҆ вѣ́рꙋ ꙗ҆́же въ гдⷭ҇а на́шего і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
21 Testificando á los Judíos y á los Gentiles arrepentimiento para con Dios, y la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
22 И҆ нн҃ѣ, сѐ, а҆́зъ свѧ́занъ дꙋ́хомъ грѧдꙋ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же въ не́мъ хотѧ̑щаѧ приключи́тисѧ мнѣ̀ не вѣ́дый:
22 Y ahora, he aquí, ligado yo en espíritu, voy á Jerusalem, sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:
23 то́чїю ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й по всѧ̑ гра́ды свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ, гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́зы менѐ и҆ скѡ́рби ждꙋ́тъ.
23 Mas que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.
24 Но ни є҆ди́но же попече́нїе творю̀, нижѐ и҆́мамъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ че́стнꙋ себѣ̀, ра́звѣ є҆́же сконча́ти тече́нїе моѐ съ ра́достїю и҆ слꙋ́жбꙋ, ю҆́же прїѧ́хъ ѿ гдⷭа і҆и҃са, засвидѣ́тельствовати є҆ѵⷢ҇лїе блгⷣти бж҃їѧ.
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 Jesús, para dar testimonio del evangelio de la gracia de Dios.
25 И҆ нн҃ѣ, сѐ, а҆́зъ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ктомꙋ̀ не ᲂу҆́зрите лица̀ моегѡ̀ вы̀ всѝ, въ ни́хже проидо́хъ проповѣ́дꙋѧ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
25 Y ahora, he aquí, yo sé que ninguno de todos vosotros, por quien he pasado predicando el reino de Dios, verá más mi rostro.
26 Тѣ́мже свидѣ́тельствꙋю ва́мъ во дне́шнїй де́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ чи́стъ а҆́зъ ѿ кро́ве всѣ́хъ,
26 Por tanto, yo os protesto el día de hoy, que yo soy limpio de la sangre de todos:
27 не ѡ҆бинꙋ́хсѧ бо сказа́ти ва́мъ всю̀ во́лю бж҃їю.
27 Porque no he rehuído de anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
28 Внима́йте ᲂу҆̀бо себѣ̀ и҆ всемꙋ̀ ста́дꙋ, въ не́мже ва́съ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й поста́ви є҆пі́скопы, пастѝ цр҃ковь гдⷭ҇а и҆ бг҃а, ю҆́же стѧжа̀ кро́вїю свое́ю.
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.
29 А҆́зъ бо вѣ́мъ сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ по ѿше́ствїи мое́мъ вни́дꙋтъ во́лцы тѧ́жцы въ ва́съ, не щадѧ́щїи ста́да:
29 Porque yo sé que después de mi partida entrarán en [medio de] vosotros lobos rapaces, que no perdonarán al ganado;
30 и҆ ѿ ва́съ самѣ́хъ воста́нꙋтъ мꙋ́жїе глаго́лющїи развращє́наѧ, є҆́же ѿторга́ти ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ в̾слѣ́дъ себє̀.
30 Y de vosotros mismos se levantarán hombres que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos tras sí.
31 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди бди́те, помина́юще, ꙗ҆́кѡ трѝ лѣ̑та но́щь и҆ де́нь не престаѧ́хъ ᲂу҆чѧ̀ со слеза́ми є҆ди́наго кого́ждо ва́съ.
31 Por tanto, velad, acordándoos que por tres años de noche y de día, no he cesado de amonestar con lágrimas á cada uno.
32 И҆ нн҃ѣ предаю̀ ва́съ, бра́тїе, бг҃ови и҆ сло́вꙋ блгⷣти є҆гѡ̀, могꙋ́щемꙋ назда́ти и҆ да́ти ва́мъ наслѣ́дїе во ѡ҆сщ҃е́нныхъ всѣ́хъ.
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.
33 Сребра̀ и҆лѝ зла́та и҆лѝ ри́зъ ни є҆ди́нагѡ возжела́хъ:
33 La plata, ó el oro, ó el vestido de nadie he codiciado.
34 са́ми вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ тре́бованїю моемꙋ̀ и҆ сꙋ́щымъ со мно́ю послꙋжи́стѣ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ сі́и.
34 Antes vosotros sabéis que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y á los que están conmigo, estas manos me han servido.
35 Всѧ̑ сказа́хъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ трꙋжда́ющымсѧ подоба́етъ застꙋпа́ти немощны́ѧ, помина́ти же сло́во гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, ꙗ҆́кѡ са́мъ речѐ: бл҃же́ннѣе є҆́сть па́че даѧ́ти, не́жели прїима́ти.
35 En todo os he enseñado que, trabajando así, es necesario sobrellevar á los enfermos, y tener presente las palabras del Señor Jesús, el cual dijo: Más bienaventurada cosa es dar que recibir.
36 И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, прекло́нь кѡлѣ́на своѧ̑, со всѣ́ми и҆́ми помоли́сѧ.
36 Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, se puso de rodillas, y oró con todos ellos.
37 Мно́гъ же бы́сть пла́чь всѣ̑мъ: и҆ напа́дше на вы́ю па́ѵловꙋ, ѡ҆блобыза́хꙋ є҆го̀,
37 Entonces hubo un gran lloro de todos: y echándose en el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
38 скорбѧ́ще наипа́че ѡ҆ словесѝ, є҆́же речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ктомꙋ̀ не и҆́мꙋтъ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆зрѣ́ти. Провожда́хꙋ же є҆го̀ въ кора́бль.
38 Doliéndose en gran manera por la palabra que dijo, que no habían de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron al navío.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 20:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XLIII)

    There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece. For, it says, "when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, and there abode three months.

    Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 11 (1889)
