PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 La iglesia de Antioquía tenía profetas y maestros: Bernabé, Simón (llamado el Negro), Lucio de Cirene, Manaén (amigo de la infancia de 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 estaban adorando al Señor y ayunando, el Espíritu Santo dijo: “Aparten a Bernabé y a Saulo para que hagan el trabajo para el cual 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 Después de ayunar, orar y colocar sus manos sobre ellos para bendecirlos, los enviaron.
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 Entonces Bernabé y Saulo, dirigidos por el Espíritu Santo, fueron a Seleucia. Y de allí navegaron hasta 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 Al llegar a Salamis, proclamaron la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas judías. Y Juan estaba con ellos como asistente.
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 Viajaron por toda la isla y finalmente llegaron a Pafos. Allí encontraron a un mago judío, un falso profeta que tenía por nombre 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 Era cercano al gobernador, Sergio Paulo, un hombre inteligente. Este gobernador invitó a Bernabé y a Saulo para que fueran a visitarlos pues quería escuchar 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 el mago Elimas (su nombre griego) se les opuso, tratando de evitar que el gobernante creyera en Dios.
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 Saulo, también llamado Pablo, estaba lleno del Espíritu Santo, y lo miró fijamente.
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 “¡Estás lleno de engaño y de todo tipo de mal, hijo del diablo, enemigo de todo lo recto! ¿Nunca dejarás de pervertir los caminos verdaderos 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 Mira, la mano del Señor está sobre ti y quedarás ciego. Y no verás el sol por un tiempo”. De inmediato, sobre él cayó neblina y oscuridad, y tuvo que encontrar a alguien que pudiera llevarlo 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 Cuando el gobernante vio lo que había ocurrido, creyó en Dios, asombrado por la enseñanza sobre el 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 Entonces Pablo y los que estaban con él navegaron desde Pafos y se fueron a Perga, en Panfilia, pero Juan los dejó y regresó 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 Entonces fueron por toda Perga y luego siguieron hasta Antioquía de Pisidia. El sábado fueron a la sinagoga 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 leer la Ley y los Profetas, los líderes de la sinagoga les enviaron un mensaje, diciendo: “Hermanos, por favor, compartan con la congregación toda palabra de ánimo que puedan”.
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, moviendo su mano para obtener su atención, y comenzó a hablar. “Hombres de Israel, y todos los que reverencian a Dios, escúchenme.
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 del pueblo de Israel eligió a nuestros antepasados, y le dio prosperidad a nuestro pueblo durante su estadía en la tierra de Egipto. Con su gran poder los sacó de Egipto
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 y los trató con paciencia en el desierto durante cerca de cuarenta años.
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 haber derrocado a siete naciones que vivían en la tierra de Canaán, Dios dividió su tierra entre los Israelitas y se las dio como heredad. Esto tomó cerca de cuatrocientos cincuenta años.
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 Luego los dotó de jueces como líderes hasta los días del 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 Entonces el pueblo pidió un rey, y Dios le dio a Saúl, hijo de Quis, de la tribu de Benjamín, quien gobernó durante 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 Entonces Dios quitó a Saúl, y puso a David como su rey. Dios aprobó a David, diciendo: ‘He encontrado en David, hijo de Isaí, un hombre conforme a mi corazón. Él cumplirá todos mis propósitos’.
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 “Jesús es descendiente de David; él es el Salvador que Dios prometió enviar a Israel.
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 que Jesús viniera, Juan anunció el 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 Y cuando Juan estaba finalizando su misión, dijo: ‘¿Quién creen que soy? Yo no soy al que ustedes buscan. Pero después de mi viene uno cuyas sandalias no soy digno de desatar’.
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 míos, hijos de Abraham y todos ustedes que reverencian a Dios: ¡Este mensaje de salvación ha sido enviado a nosotros!
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 La gente que vivía en Jerusalén y sus líderes no reconocieron a Jesús ni entendieron las palabras que los profetas habían dicho y que leen cada sábado. ¡De hecho, ellos mismos cumplieron las palabras proféticas al condenarlo!
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 pudieron encontrar ninguna prueba para sentenciarlo, pidieron a Pilato que lo mandara a matar.
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 Después de haber cumplido todo lo que se había predicho que ellos le harían a Jesús, lo bajaron de la cruz y lo sepultaron en una tumba.
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 levantó de los muertos,
30 But God raised him from the dead,
30 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν·
31 y él se apareció durante muchos días a aquellos que lo habían seguido desde Galilea hasta Jerusalén. Ellos son ahora sus testigos ante la gente.
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 estamos aquí para traerles a ustedes la buena noticia de la promesa que Dios hizo a nuestros antepasados,
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 que ahora ha cumplido en nuestro favor al levantar a Jesús de los muertos. Tal como está escrito en el libro de Salmos 2: ‘Tú eres mi Hijo, y hoy me he convertido en tu Padre’.
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 Dios lo levantó de los muertos, para que no muriera más, tal como lo indicó al decir: ‘Yo les daré cosas santas y fieles, como se lo prometí 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 Tal como lo dice otro salmo: ‘No dejarás que tu Santo conozca la putrefacción’.
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 Pero David murió, después de haber hecho la voluntad de Dios a su tiempo, y fue sepultado con sus antepasados, y su cuerpo sufrió descomposición.
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 El que Dios levantó de los muertos no sufrió descomposición.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
37 ὃν δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν, οὐκ εἶδε διαφθοράν.
38 “Hermanos míos, quiero que entiendan que lo que les estamos diciendo es que por medio de este hombre hay 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 todos sus errores, y de una manera que nunca podría ser posible mediante 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 Asegúrense de que no les suceda lo que dijeron 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, burlones! ¡Asómbrense y desaparezcan! Estoy por hacer en estos días una obra que ustedes nunca creerán, aunque alguien se la explique’”.
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 Y cuando salían, la gente les suplicaba que les explicaran más el siguiente sábado.
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 Después de reunirse en la sinagoga, muchos de los judíos y conversos al judaísmo siguieron a Pablo y a Bernabé, quienes hablaban con ellos, animándolos a seguir firmes 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 sábado siguiente casi toda la ciudad se presentó para escuchar 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 Sin embargo, cuando los judíos vieron las multitudes, se pusieron extremadamente furiosos, contradiciendo lo que Pablo decía y maldiciéndolo.
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 firmeza, diciendo: “Primero teníamos que predicarles la palabra de Dios a ustedes. Pero ahora que la han rechazado, ustedes están determinando que no son dignos de la vida eterna. Pues ahora predicaremos a los extranjeros.
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 eso es lo que el Señor nos ha mandado a hacer: ‘Yo los he convertido en luz para los extranjeros, y a través de ustedes la salvación llegará hasta los fines 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 extranjeros escucharon esto, se alegraron en gran manera, alabando la palabra del Señor, y todos los elegidos para la vida eterna creyeron en Dios.
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 Así que la palabra de Dios fue esparcida por toda la 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 mujeres devotas e influyentes y también a líderes de la ciudad para perseguir a Pablo y a Bernabé, y los expulsaron de su territorio.
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 Pablo y Bernabé sacudieron el polvo de sus pies hacia ellos en señal de protesta, y se 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 creyentes seguían siendo llenos de gozo 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.
