1 Once the uproar had died down, Paul called the believers together and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye, and left for Macedonia.
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 He passed through the area, sharing many words of encouragement with the believers there, and then traveled on to Greece.
2 Y andado que hubo aquellas partes, y exhortádoles con abundancia de palabra, vino á Grecia.
3 After he had spent three months there and just as he was about to sail to Syria, it was discovered that the Jews were plotting against him. So he decided to return through Macedonia.
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 These were the people who traveled with him: Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
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 They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
5 Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.
6 After the Festival of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi, and met them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.
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 Paul was speaking on the first day of the week as we gathered together to break bread. He was planning to leave in the morning, and went on speaking until midnight.
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 (The upstairs room where we were meeting was lit by many lamps.)
8 Y había muchas lámparas en el aposento alto donde estaban juntos.
9 A young man called Eutychus was sitting in the window, and he began feeling very sleepy. As Paul went on speaking he fell sound asleep and tumbled down from the third story. When they picked him up they found he was dead.
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 Paul went down, stretched himself out upon him, and hugged him. “Don't worry, he's alive,” he said.
10 Entonces descendió Pablo, y derribóse sobre él, y abrazándole, dijo: No os alborotéis, que su alma está en él.
11 Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate together with them. He went on talking with them until dawn came, and then he left.
11 Después subiendo, y partiendo el pan, y gustando, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así partió.
12 They took the young man home alive and well, and were very thankful for this.
12 Y llevaron al mozo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos. There we were due to pick up Paul, since that was what he had planned as he decided to travel on foot.
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 He did indeed meet us at Assos. We picked him up, and went on to Mitylene.
14 Y como se juntó con nosotros en Assón, tomándole vinimos á Mitilene.
15 Sailing on from there we arrived off Kios, and the next day we stopped briefly at Samos, and the following day we arrived at Miletus.
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 Paul had planned to sail on past Ephesus so he wouldn't have to spend time in the province of Asia. He was keen to get to Jerusalem in time for the Day of Pentecost.
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 From Miletus Paul sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus.
17 Y enviando desde Mileto á Efeso, hizo llamar á los ancianos de la iglesia.
18 When they arrived, he told them, “You know how I always behaved while I was with you from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
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 I served the Lord in humility and in tears. I put up with the troubles and stress caused by the plots of the Jews.
19 Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad, y con muchas lágrimas, y tentaciones que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos:
20 However, I never held back from sharing with you anything that would be to your benefit, and I taught you in public, going from house to house.
20 Cómo nada que fuese útil he rehuído de anunciaros y enseñaros, públicamente y por las casas,
21 I witnessed both to Jews and Greeks that it was essential to repent and turn to God, and to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Testificando á los Judíos y á los Gentiles arrepentimiento para con Dios, y la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
22 Now the Spirit is insisting that I go to Jerusalem, and I have no idea what will happen to me there.
22 Y ahora, he aquí, ligado yo en espíritu, voy á Jerusalem, sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:
23 All I know is that in every city I visit the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and suffering are waiting for me.
23 Mas que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.
24 But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
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 Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.
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 So I declare to you today that I am not responsible if anyone is lost.
26 Por tanto, yo os protesto el día de hoy, que yo soy limpio de la sangre de todos:
27 I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.
27 Porque no he rehuído de anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
28 Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.
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 I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.
29 Porque yo sé que después de mi partida entrarán en [medio de] vosotros lobos rapaces, que no perdonarán al ganado;
30 From among your own group men will rise up perverting what is right and good so they can lead believers to follow them.
30 Y de vosotros mismos se levantarán hombres que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos tras sí.
31 So watch out! Don't forget that for three years I went on instructing all of you night and day, often crying over you.
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 Now I commit you to God's care and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and provide you with the inheritance that belongs to all who are kept right with him.
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 I never had any desire for anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
33 La plata, ó el oro, ó el vestido de nadie he codiciado.
34 You know that I worked with my own hands to provide for my own needs, as well as for those who were with me.
34 Antes vosotros sabéis que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y á los que están conmigo, estas manos me han servido.
35 I have given you an example in everything: work to help those who are weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
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 When he finished speaking, he kneeled down and prayed with all of them.
36 Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, se puso de rodillas, y oró con todos ellos.
37 They all wept as they hugged and kissed him.
37 Entonces hubo un gran lloro de todos: y echándose en el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
38 What upset them the most was what he said about never seeing him again... Then they walked down to the ship with him.
38 Doliéndose en gran manera por la palabra que dijo, que no habían de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron al navío.

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.

Moreover, ye were all distinguished by humility, and were in no respect puffed up with pride, but yielded obedience rather than extorted it, and were more willing to give than to receive. Content with the provision which God had made for you, and carefully attending to His words, ye were inwardly filled with His doctrine, and His sufferings were before …
Therefore also with regard to Paul, that he wept, that he did so three years night and day, both he hath said of himself, and others say this of him; but that he laughed, neither hath he said himself anywhere, neither hath so much as one other of the saints, either concerning him, or any other like him; but this …

Declaring this, Paul said, "Without were fightings, within were fears;" and, "In perils among false brethren;" and in his discourse to the Milesians too He said, "Also of you shall some arise speaking perverse things;" and He Himself too said, "The man's foes shall be they of his own household." But when He said, "It must needs be," it is …
