WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και διασωθεντες τοτε επεγνωσαν οτι μελιτη η νησος καλειται.
1 Y CUANDO escapamos, entonces supimos que la isla se llamaba Melita.
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
2 οι δε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν· αναψαντες γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντας ημας δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχος.
2 Y los bárbaros nos mostraron no poca humanidad; porque, encendido un fuego, nos recibieron á todos, á causa de la lluvia que venía, y del frío.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
3 συστρεψαντος δε του παυλου φρυγανων πληθος και επιθεντος επι την πυραν, εχιδνα απο της θερμης διεξελθουσα καθηψεν της χειρος αυτου.
3 Entonces habiendo Pablo recogido algunos sarmientos, y puéstolos en el fuego, una víbora, huyendo del calor, le acometió á la mano.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
4 ως δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ της χειρος αυτου, ελεγον προς αλληλους· παντως φονευς εστιν ο ανθρωπος ουτος, ον διασωθεντα εκ της θαλασσης η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν.
4 Y como los bárbaros vieron la víbora colgando de su mano, decían los unos á los otros: Ciertamente este hombre es homicida, á quien, escapado de la mar, la justicia no deja vivir.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
5 ο μεν ουν αποτιναξας το θηριον εις το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον·
5 Mas él, sacudiendo la víbora en el fuego, ningún mal padeció.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
6 οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον. επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εις αυτον γινομενον, μεταβαλλομενοι ελεγον θεον αυτον ειναι.
6 Empero ellos estaban esperando cuándo se había de hinchar, ó caer muerto de repente; mas habiendo esperado mucho, y viendo que ningún mal le venía, mudados, decían que era un dios.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 εν δε τοις περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω της νησου ονοματι ποπλιω, ος αναδεξαμενος ημας τρεις ημερας φιλοφρονως εξενισεν.
7 En aquellos lugares había heredades del principal de la isla, llamado Publio, el cual nos recibió y hospedó tres días humanamente.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοις και δυσεντεριω συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι· προς ον ο παυλος εισελθων και προσευξαμενος και επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω ιασατο αυτον.
8 Y aconteció que el padre de Publio estaba en cama, enfermo de fiebres y de disentería: al cual Pablo entró, y después de haber orado, le puso las manos encima, y le sanó:
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 τουτου ουν γενομενου και οι λοιποι οι εχοντες ασθενειας εν τη νησω προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο·
9 Y esto hecho, también los otros que en la isla tenían enfermedades, llegaban, y eran sanados:
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
10 οι και πολλαις τιμαις ετιμησαν ημας και αναγομενοις επεθεντο τα προς την χρειαν.
10 Los cuales también nos honraron con muchos obsequios; y cuando partimos, nos cargaron de las cosas necesarias.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 μετα δε τρεις μηνας ανηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω, αλεξανδρινω, παρασημω διοσκουροις,
11 Así que, pasados tres meses, navegamos en una nave Alejandrina que había invernado en la isla, la cual tenía por enseña á Cástor y Pólux.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
12 και καταχθεντες εις συρακουσας επεμειναμεν ημερας τρεις·
12 Y llegados á Siracusa, estuvimos allí tres días.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 οθεν περιελθοντες κατηντησαμεν εις ρηγιον, και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εις ποτιολους·
13 De allí, costeando alrededor, vinimos á Regio; y otro día después, soplando el austro, vinimos al segundo día á Puteolos:
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 ου ευροντες αδελφους παρεκληθημεν επ αυτοις επιμειναι ημερας επτα, και ουτως εις την ρωμην ηλθομεν.
14 Donde habiendo hallado hermanos, nos rogaron que quedásemos con ellos siete días; y luego vinimos á Roma;
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντες τα περι ημων εξηλθον εις απαντησιν ημιν αχρι αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων, ους ιδων ο παυλος ευχαριστησας τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσος.
15 De donde, oyendo de nosotros los hermanos, nos salieron á recibir hasta la plaza de Appio, y Las Tres Tabernas: á los cuales como Pablo vió, dió gracias á Dios, y tomó aliento.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16 οτε δε ηλθομεν εις ρωμην, ο εκατονταρχης παρεδωκεν τους δεσμιους τω στρατοπεδαρχη· τω δε παυλω επετραπη μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη.
16 Y como llegamos á Roma, el centurión entregó los presos al prefecto de los ejércitos, mas á Pablo fué permitido estar por sí, con un soldado que le guardase.
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 εγενετο δε μετα ημερας τρεις συγκαλεσασθαι τον παυλον τους οντας των ιουδαιων πρωτους· συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προς αυτους· ανδρες αδελφοι, εγω ουδεν εναντιον ποιησας τω λαω η τοις εθεσιν τοις πατρωοις δεσμιος εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εις τας χειρας των ρωμαιων·
17 Y aconteció que tres días después, Pablo convocó á los principales de los Judíos; á los cuales, luego que estuvieron juntos, les dijo: Yo, varones hermanos, no habiendo hecho nada contra el pueblo, ni contra los ritos de la patria, he sido entregado preso desde Jerusalem en manos de los Romanos;
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 οιτινες ανακριναντες με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι.
18 Los cuales, habiéndome examinado, me querían soltar, por no haber en mí ninguna causa de muerte.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα, ουχ ως του εθνους μου εχων τι κατηγορησαι.
19 Mas contradiciendo los Judíos, fuí forzado á apelar á César; no que tenga de qué acusar á mi nación.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμας ιδειν και προσλαλησαι· ενεκεν γαρ της ελπιδος του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι.
20 Así que, por esta causa, os he llamado para veros y hablaros; porque por la esperanza de Israel estoy rodeado de esta cadena.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
21 οι δε προς αυτον ειπον· ημεις ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο της ιουδαιας, ουτε παραγενομενος τις των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον.
21 Entonces ellos le dijeron: Nosotros ni hemos recibido cartas tocante á ti de Judea, ni ha venido alguno de los hermanos que haya denunciado ó hablado algún mal de ti.
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεις· περι μεν γαρ της αιρεσεως ταυτης γνωστον εστιν ημιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται.
22 Mas querríamos oir de ti lo que sientes; porque de esta secta notorio nos es que en todos lugares es contradicha.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
23 ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηκον προς αυτον εις την ξενιαν πλειονες, οις εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτους τα περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεως και των προφητων απο πρωι εως εσπερας.
23 Y habiéndole señalado un día, vinieron á él muchos á la posada, á los cuales declaraba y testificaba el reino de Dios, persuadiéndoles lo concerniente á Jesús, por la ley de Moisés y por los profetas, desde la mañana hasta la tarde.
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
24 και οι μεν επειθοντο τοις λεγομενοις, οι δε ηπιστουν.
24 Y algunos asentían á lo que se decía, mas algunos no creían.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 ασυμφωνοι δε οντες προς αλληλους απελυοντο, ειποντος του παυλου ρημα εν, οτι καλως το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προς τους πατερας ημων
25 Y como fueron entre sí discordes, se fueron, diciendo Pablo esta palabra: Bien ha hablado el Espíritu Santo por el profeta Isaías á nuestros padres,
25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26 λεγον· πορευθητι προς τον λαον τουτον και ειπον· ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε, και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε·
26 Diciendo: Ve á este pueblo, y di[les]: De oído oiréis, y no entenderéis; y viendo veréis, y no percibiréis:
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου, και τοις ωσιν βαρεως ηκουσαν, και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκαμμυσαν, μηποτε ιδωσιν τοις οφθαλμοις και τοις ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν, και ιασομαι αυτους.
27 Porque el corazón de este pueblo se ha engrosado, y de los oídos oyeron pesadamente, y sus ojos taparon; porque no vean con los ojos, y oigan con los oídos, y entiendan de corazón, y se conviertan, y yo los sane.
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
28 γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν οτι τοις εθνεσιν απεσταλη [τουτο] το σωτηριον του θεου, αυτοι και ακουσονται.
28 Séaos pues notorio que á los Gentiles es enviada esta salud de Dios: y ellos oirán.
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
29 και ταυτα αυτου ειποντος απηλθον οι ιουδαιοι πολλην εχοντες εν εαυτοις συζητησιν.
29 Y habiendo dicho esto, los Judíos salieron, teniendo entre sí gran contienda.
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 εμεινεν δε ο παυλος διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντας τους εισπορευομενους προς αυτον,
30 Pablo empero, quedó dos años enteros en su casa de alquiler, y recibía á todos los que á él venían,
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
31 κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως.
31 Predicando el reino de Dios y enseñando lo que es del Señor Jesucristo con toda libertad, sin impedimento.
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

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).
"Showed," he says, "no little kindness to us--barbarians" (as they were )--"having kindled a fire:" else it were of no use that their lives be saved, if the wintry weather must destroy them. Then Paul having taken brushwood, laid it on the fire.
