PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Y llegó á Derbe y á Lystra. Y había allí un discípulo por nombre Timothéo, hijo de una muger de Judéa, y de padre Gentil.
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
1 Κατήντησε δὲ εἰς Δέρβην καὶ Λύστραν. καὶ ἰδοὺ μαθητής τις ἦν ἐκεῖ ὀνόματι Τιμόθεος, υἱὸς γυναικός [τινος] Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς, πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος,
2 De éste daban buen testimonio los hermanos que estaban en Lystra y en Icónic.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
2 ὃς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν.
3 Pablo quiso que éste fuese en su compañía: y lo tomó y lo circuncidó por causa de los Judíos, que había en aquellos lugares. Porque todos sabían que su padre era Gentil.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3 τοῦτον ἠθέλησεν ὁ Παῦλος σὺν αὐτῷ ἐξελθεῖν, καὶ λαβὼν περιέτεμεν αὐτὸν διὰ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς τόποις ἐκείνοις· ᾔδεισαν γὰρ ἅπαντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ὅτι Ἕλλην ὑπῆρχεν.
4 Y quando pasaban por las ciudades, les enseñaban que guardasen los decretos, que habían sido establecidos por los Apóstoles y por los Presbyteros, que estaban en Jerusalém.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
4 Ὡς δὲ διεπορεύοντο τὰς πόλεις, παρεδίδουν αὐτοῖς φυλάσσειν τὰ δόγματα τὰ κεκριμένα ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5 Y las Iglesias eran confirmadas en la fé, y crecían en número cada día.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5 Αἱ μὲν οὖν ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐπερίσσευον τῷ ἀριθμῷ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν.
6 Y atravesando la Phrygia, y la provincia de Galacia, les vedó el Espíritu Santo que predicasen la palabra de Dios en el Asia.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6 Διελθόντες δὲ τὴν Φρυγίαν καὶ τὴν Γαλατικὴν χώραν, κωλυθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος λαλῆσαι τὸν λόγον ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ,
7 Y quando llegáron á Mysia, querían ir á Bithynia, y no los dexó el Espíritu de Jesús.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
7 ἐλθόντες κατὰ τὴν Μυσίαν ἐπείραζον κατὰ τὴν Βιθυνίαν πορεύεσθαι· καὶ οὐκ εἴασεν αὐτοὺς τὸ Πνεῦμα.
8 Y después de haber atravesado la Mysia, baxáron á Troade:
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
8 παρελθόντες δὲ τὴν Μυσίαν κατέβησαν εἰς Τρῳάδα.
9 Y de noche fué mostrada vision á Pablo: se le puso delante un hombre Macedonio, que le rogaba, y decía: Pasa á Macedonia, y ayúdanos.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
9 καὶ ὅραμα διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς ὤφθη τῷ Παύλῳ· ἀνήρ τις ἦν Μακεδὼν ἑστώς, παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων· διαβὰς εἰς Μακεδονίαν βοήθησον ἡμῖν.
10 Y luego que tuvo la vision, procurámos ir á Macedonia, certificados que Dios nos había llamado para que les predicásemos el Evangelio.
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
10 ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Μακεδονίαν, συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς.
11 Por lo que embarcándonos en Troade, navegamos derechamente á Samothracia, y el día siguiente á Nápoles:
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
11 Ἀναχθέντες οὖν ἀπὸ τῆς Τρῳάδος εὐθυδρομήσαμεν εἰς Σαμοθρᾴκην, τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ εἰς Νεάπολιν,
12 Y desde allí á Philippos, que es una colónia, y ciudad principal de aquella parte de Macedonia. Y en ésta ciudad nos detuvimos algunos días conferenciando.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
12 ἐκεῖθέν τε εἰς Φιλίππους, ἥτις ἐστὶ πρώτη τῆς μερίδος τῆς Μακεδονίας πόλις κολωνία. Ἦμεν δὲ ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ πόλει διατρίβοντες ἡμέρας τινάς,
13 Y un día de los Sábados salimos fuera de la puerta junto al rio, en donde parecía que se hacía la oración: y sentándonos allí, hablabamos á las mugeres, que habían acudido.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
13 τῇ τε ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐξήλθομεν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ ποταμὸν οὗ ἐνομίζετο προσευχὴ εἶναι, καὶ καθίσαντες ἐλαλοῦμεν ταῖς συνελθούσαις γυναιξί.
14 Y una muger llamada Lydia, de la ciudad de los Thyatiros, que comerciaba en púrpura, temerosa de Dios, oyó: y abrió el Señor su corazón, para que atendiese á lo que decía Pablo.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
14 καί τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι Λυδία, πορφυρόπωλις πόλεως Θυατείρων, σεβομένη τὸν Θεόν, ἤκουεν, ἧς ὁ Κύριος διήνοιξε τὴν καρδίαν προσέχειν τοῖς λαλουμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου.
15 Y quando fué bautizada ella con su familia, rogó, y dixo: Si habeis hecho juicio que yo soy fiel al Señor, entrad en mi casa, y posad allí. Y nos obligó á ello.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
15 ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, παρεκάλεσε λέγουσα· εἰ κεκρίκατέ με πιστὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ εἶναι, εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου μείνατε· καὶ παρεβιάσατο ἡμᾶς.
16 Acaeció pues, que yendo nosotros á la oración, nos encontró una muchacha que tenía espíritu de Python, y daba mucho que ganar á sus amos adivinando.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
16 Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων ἡμῶν εἰς προσευχὴν παιδίσκην τινὰ ἔχουσαν πνεῦμα πύθωνος ἀπαντῆσαι ἡμῖν, ἥτις ἐργασίαν πολλὴν παρεῖχε τοῖς κυρίοις αὐτῆς μαντευομένη.
17 Ella siguiendo á Pablo y á nosotros, daba voces diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios excelso, que os anuncian el camino de la salud.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
17 αὕτη κατακολουθήσασα τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σίλᾳ ἔκραζε λέγουσα· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι δοῦλοι τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου εἰσίν, οἵτινες καταγγέλλουσιν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν σωτηρίας.
18 Y esto lo hacía muchos días. Mas Pablo indignado ya se volvió, y dixo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesu-Christo que salgas de ella. Y en la misma hora salió.
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
18 τοῦτο δὲ ἐποίει ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας. διαπονηθεὶς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ἐπιστρέψας τῷ πνεύματι εἶπε· παραγγέλλω σοι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ.
19 Y quando viéron sus amos que se les había escapado la esperanza de su ganancia, echando mano de Pablo y de Silas, los lleváron al Juzgado á los Príncipes:
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
19 Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ κύριοι αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ἐργασίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σίλαν εἵλκυσαν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας,
20 Y presentándolos á los Magistrados, dixéron: Estos hombres son Judíos, y alborotan nuestra ciudad;
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
20 καὶ προσαγαγόντες αὐτοὺς τοῖς στρατηγοῖς εἶπον· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐκταράσσουσιν ἡμῶν τὴν πόλιν Ἰουδαῖοι ὑπάρχοντες,
21 Y predican ritos, que á nosotros no nos es lícito recibir ni guardar, siendo Romanos.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
21 καὶ καταγγέλλουσιν ἔθη ἃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν παραδέχεσθαι οὐδὲ ποιεῖν Ῥωμαίοις οὖσι.
22 Y el pueblo se atropelló contra ellos y los Magistrados haciéndoles rasgar las túnicas, los mandaron azotar con varas.
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22 καὶ συνεπέστη ὁ ὄχλος κατ᾽ αὐτῶν. καὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ περιρρήξαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν,
23 Y después de haberles dado muchos golpes, los metieron en la cárcel, mandando al carcelero que los tuviese á buen recaudo.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
23 πολλάς τε ἐπιθέντες αὐτοῖς πληγὰς ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακήν, παραγγείλαντες τῷ δεσμοφύλακι ἀσφαλῶς τηρεῖν αὐτούς·
24 Él luego que recibió ésta órden, los puso en un calabozo, y les apretó los pies en el cepo.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
24 ὃς παραγγελίαν τοιαύτην εἰληφὼς ἔβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακὴν καὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ἠσφαλίσατο εἰς τὸ ξύλον.
25 Mas á media noche puestos en oración Pablo y Silas, alaban á Dios: y los que estaban presos, los oían.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
25 Κατὰ δὲ τὸ μεσονύκτιον Παῦλος καὶ Σίλας προσευχόμενοι ὕμνουν τὸν Θεόν· ἐπηκροῶντο δὲ αὐτῶν οἱ δέσμιοι.
26 Y súbitamente se sintió un terremoto tan grande, que se moviéron los cimientos de la cárcel: y se abrieron luego todas las puertas, y fuéron sueltas las prisiones de todos.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
26 ἄφνω δὲ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας, ὥστε σαλευθῆναι τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου, ἀνεῴχθησάν τε παραχρῆμα αἱ θύραι πᾶσαι καὶ πάντων τὰ δεσμὰ ἀνέθη.
27 Y habiendo despertado el carcelero, quando vió abiertas las puertas de la cárcel, desenvaynó la espada, y se quería matar, pensando que se habían huido los presos.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
27 ἔξυπνος δὲ γενόμενος ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ καὶ ἰδὼν ἀνεῳγμένας τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, σπασάμενος μάχαιραν ἔμελλεν ἑαυτὸν ἀναιρεῖν, νομίζων ἐκπεφευγέναι τοὺς δεσμίους.
28 Mas Pablo clamó en alta voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún mal, porque todos estamos aquí,
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
28 ἐφώνησε δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὁ Παῦλος λέγων· μηδὲν πράξῃς σεαυτῷ κακόν· ἅπαντες γάρ ἐσμεν ἐνθάδε.
29 Él entonces pidió una luz, y entró dentro: y temblando se arrojó á los pies de Pablo y de Silas:
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
29 αἰτήσας δὲ φῶτα εἰσεπήδησε, καὶ ἔντρομος γενόμενος προσέπεσε τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σίλᾳ,
30 Y sacándolos fuera, les dixo: ¿Señores, qué es lo que debo yo hacer para ser salvo?
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30 καὶ προαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἔφη· κύριοι, τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν ἵνα σωθῶ;
31 Y ellos le dixéron: Cree en el Señor Jesús: y serás salvo tú y tu casa.
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31 οἱ δὲ εἶπον· πίστευσον ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, καὶ σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου.
32 Y le predicáron la palabra del Señor, y á todos los que estaban en, su casa.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
32 καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
33 Y tomándolos en aquella misma hora de la noche, les lavó las llagas: é inmediatamente fué bautizado él y toda su familia.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
33 καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ τῆς νυκτὸς ἔλουσεν ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ αὐτοῦ πάντες παραχρῆμα,
34 Y habiéndolos llevado á su casa, les puso la mesa, y se alegró con todos los de su casa creyendo en Dios.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
34 ἀναγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρέθηκε τράπεζαν, καὶ ἠγαλλιᾶτο πανοικὶ πεπιστευκὼς τῷ Θεῷ.
35 Y quando fué de día, le enviáron los Magistrados á decir por los alguaciles: Dexa ir libres á esos hombres.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
35 Ἡμέρας δὲ γενομένης ἀπέστειλαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τοὺς ῥαβδούχους λέγοντες· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκείνους.
36 Y el carcelero dió aviso de esto á Pablo: Los Magistrados han enviado órden para que os ponga en libertad: pues ahora salid, é id en paz.
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
36 ἀπήγγειλε δὲ ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ τοὺς λόγους τούτους πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον, ὅτι ἀπεστάλκασιν οἱ στρατηγοὶ ἵνα ἀπολυθῆτε. νῦν οὖν ἐξελθόντες πορεύεσθε ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
37 Entónces. Pablo les dixo: ¿Azotados públicamente, sin forma de juicio, siendo Romanos, nos pusieron en la cárcel, y ahora nos echan fuera en secreto? No será así: mas vengan,
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
37 ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτούς· δείραντες ἡμᾶς δημοσίᾳ ἀκατακρίτους, ἀνθρώπους Ῥωμαίους ὑπάρχοντας, ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακήν· καὶ νῦν λάθρᾳ ἡμᾶς ἐκβάλλουσιν; οὐ γάρ, ἀλλὰ ἐλθόντες αὐτοὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξαγαγέτωσαν.
38 Y sáquennos ellos mismos. Y los alguaciles hicieron saber éstas palabras á los magistrados. Y ellos temieron, quando oyeron que eran Romanos:
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
38 ἀνήγγειλαν δὲ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς οἱ ῥαβδοῦχοι τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Ῥωμαῖοί εἰσι,
39 Y vinieron pidiéndoles perdon, y sacándolos, les rogaban que saliesen de la ciudad.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
39 καὶ ἐλθόντες παρεκάλεσαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαγαγόντες ἠρώτων ἐξελθεῖν τῆς πόλεως.
40 Y luego que saliéron de la cárcel, entraron en casa de Lydia, y visitando á los hermanos, los consolaron, y se fueron.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
40 ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν Λυδίαν, καὶ ἰδόντες τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς παρεκάλεσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξῆλθον.

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).
