WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”
1 ENTONCES algunos que venían de Judea enseñaban á los hermanos: Que si no os circuncidáis conforme al rito de Moisés, no podéis ser salvos.
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
2 Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.
2 Así que, suscitada una disensión y contienda no pequeña á Pablo y á Bernabé contra ellos, determinaron que subiesen Pablo y Bernabé á Jerusalem, y algunos otros de ellos, á los apóstoles y á los ancianos, sobre esta cuestión.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.
3 Ellos, pues, habiendo sido acompañados de la iglesia, pasaron por la Fenicia y Samaria, contando la conversión de los Gentiles; y daban gran gozo á todos los hermanos.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.
4 Y llegados á Jerusalem, fueron recibidos de la iglesia y de los apóstoles y de los ancianos: y refirieron todas las cosas que Dios había hecho con ellos.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
5 But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”
5 Mas algunos de la secta de los Fariseos, que habían creído, se levantaron, diciendo: Que es menester circuncidarlos, y mandarles que guarden la ley de Moisés.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
6 Y se juntaron los apóstoles y los ancianos para conocer de este negocio.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7 After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.
7 Y habiendo habido grande contienda, levantándose Pedro, les dijo: Varones hermanos, vosotros sabéis cómo ya hace algún tiempo que Dios escogió que los Gentiles oyesen por mi boca la palabra del evangelio, y creyesen.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
8 God, who knows what we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.
8 Y Dios, que conoce los corazones, les dió testimonio, dándoles el Espíritu Santo también como á nosotros;
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
9 He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
9 Y ninguna diferencia hizo entre nosotros y ellos, purificando con la fe sus corazones.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?
10 Ahora pues, ¿por qué tentáis á Dios, poniendo sobre la cerviz de los discípulos yugo, que ni nuestros padres ni nosotros hemos podido llevar?
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
11 Antes por la gracia del Señor Jesús creemos que seremos salvos, como también ellos.
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
12 Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
12 Entonces toda la multitud calló, y oyeron á Bernabé y á Pablo, que contaban cuán grandes maravillas y señales Dios había hecho por ellos entre los Gentiles.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13 After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
13 Y después que hubieron callado, Jacobo respondió, diciendo: Varones hermanos, oidme:
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
14 Simón ha contado cómo Dios primero visitó á los Gentiles, para tomar de ellos pueblo para su nombre;
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
15 This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
15 Y con esto concuerdan las palabras de los profetas, como está escrito:
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16◆ ‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.
16 Después de esto volveré y restauraré la habitación de David, que estaba caída; y repararé sus ruinas, y la volveré á levantar;
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
17◆ I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
17 Para que el resto de los hombres busque al Señor, y todos los Gentiles, sobre los cuales es llamado mi nombre, dice el Señor, que hace todas estas cosas.
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
18 This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’
18 Conocidas son á Dios desde el siglo todas sus obras.
18 “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.
19 So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
19 Por lo cual yo juzgo, que los que de los Gentiles se convierten á Dios, no han de ser inquietados;
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20 We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.
20 Sino escribirles que se aparten de las contaminaciones de los ídolos, y de fornicación, y de ahogado, y de sangre.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
21 Porque Moisés desde los tiempos antiguos tiene en cada ciudad quien le predique en las sinagogas, donde es leído cada sábado.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,
22 Entonces pareció bien á los apóstoles y á los ancianos, con toda la iglesia, elegir varones de ellos, y enviarlos á Antioquía con Pablo y Bernabé: á Judas que tenía por sobrenombre Barsabas, y á Silas, varones principales entre los hermanos;
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23 and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
23 Y escribir por mano de ellos: Los apóstoles y los ancianos y los hermanos, á los hermanos de los Gentiles que están en Antioquía, y en Siria, y en Cilicia, salud:
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24 We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!
24 Por cuanto hemos oído que algunos que han salido de nosotros, os han inquietado con palabras, trastornando vuestras almas, mandando circuncidaros y guardar la ley, á los cuales no mandamos;
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
25 So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
25 Nos ha parecido, congregados en uno, elegir varones, y enviarlos á vosotros con nuestros amados Bernabé y Pablo,
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26 Hombres que han expuesto sus vidas por el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
27 Así que, enviamos á Judas y á Silas, los cuales también por palabra os harán saber lo mismo.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
28 Que ha parecido bien al Espíritu Santo, y á nosotros, no imponeros ninguna carga más que estas cosas necesarias:
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29 You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”
29 Que os abstengáis de cosas sacrificadas á ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación; de las cuales cosas si os guardareis, bien haréis. Pasadlo bien.
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
30 The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
30 Ellos entonces enviados, descendieron á Antioquía; y juntando la multitud, dieron la carta.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31 After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
31 La cual, como leyeron, fueron gozosos de la consolación.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32 Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
32 Judas también y Silas, como ellos también eran profetas, consolaron y confirmaron á los hermanos con abundancia de palabra.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
33 After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
33 Y pasando [allí] algún tiempo, fueron enviados de los hermanos á los apóstoles en paz.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
35 Y Pablo y Bernabé se estaban en Antioquía, enseñando la palabra del Señor y anunciando el evangelio con otros muchos.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”
36 Y después de algunos días, Pablo dijo á Bernabé: Volvamos á visitar á los hermanos por todas las ciudades en las cuales hemos anunciado la palabra del Señor, cómo están.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37 Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
37 Y Bernabé quería que tomasen consigo á Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Marcos;
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38 But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.
38 Mas á Pablo no le parecía bien llevar consigo al que se había apartado de ellos desde Pamphylia, y no había ido con ellos á la obra.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
39 They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
39 Y hubo tal contención entre ellos, que se apartaron el uno del otro; y Bernabé tomando á Marcos, navegó á Cipro.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
40 Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
40 Y Pablo escogiendo á Silas, partió encomendado de los hermanos á la gracia del Señor.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
41 Y anduvo la Siria y la Cilicia, confirmando á las iglesias.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.

¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- Amós 9:12 y Hechos 15:17: ¿«el resto de Edom» o «el resto de los hombres»?
En el texto hebreo de Amós 9:12, el Israel restaurado «poseerá el resto de Edom». En la Septuaginta, «el resto de los hombres» «buscará» al Señor. En el Concilio de Jerusalén, Santiago cita la forma griega para mostrar que Dios quería que los gentiles formaran parte de su pueblo (Hechos 15:16–17). Las dos lecturas difieren en letras que en hebreo se parecen a la vista y al oído.
