WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Saul approved of his killing. On that very day terrible persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except for the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
1 Y SAULO consentía en su muerte. Y en aquel día se hizo una grande persecución en la iglesia que estaba en Jerusalem; y todos fueron esparcidos por las tierras de Judea y de Samaria, salvo los apóstoles.
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
2 (Some faithful followers of God buried Stephen, with great mourning.)
2 Y llevaron [á enterrar] á Esteban varones piadosos, é hicieron gran llanto sobre él.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
3 But Saul set about destroying the church, going from house to house, dragging both men and women off to prison.
3 Entonces Saulo asolaba la iglesia, entrando por las casas: y trayendo hombres y mujeres, los entregaba en la cárcel.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
4 Those who had been scattered spread the word wherever they went.
4 Mas los que fueron esparcidos, iban por todas partes anunciando la palabra.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
5 Philip went to the town of Samaria, and told them about the Messiah.
5 Entonces Felipe, descendiendo á la ciudad de Samaria, les predicaba á Cristo.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
6 When the crowds heard what Philip was saying and saw the miracles he did they all paid attention to what he was telling them.
6 Y las gentes escuchaban atentamente unánimes las cosas que decía Felipe, oyendo y viendo las señales que hacía.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
7 Many were freed from possession by evil spirits that screamed as they came out, and many who were lame or disabled were healed.
7 Porque de muchos que tenían espíritus inmundos, salían [éstos] dando grandes voces; y muchos paralíticos y cojos eran sanados:
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 The people who lived in the city were overjoyed.
8 Así que había gran gozo en aquella ciudad.
8 There was great joy in that city.
9 Now there was a man named Simon who lived in the city. He practiced sorcery. He claimed that he was someone very important, and had astounded the people of Samaria
9 Y había un hombre llamado Simón, el cual había sido antes mágico en aquella ciudad, y había engañado la gente de Samaria, diciéndose ser algún grande:
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
10 so they all paid attention to him. From the lowest to the highest in society they said, “This man is ‘God the Great Power.’”
10 Al cual oían todos atentamente desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, diciendo: Este es la gran virtud de Dios.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
11 They were impressed by him because he had amazed them with his magic for so long.
11 Y le estaban atentos, porque con sus artes mágicas los había embelesado mucho tiempo.
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12 But when they believed in what Philip told them about the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12 Mas cuando creyeron á Felipe, que anunciaba el evangelio del reino de Dios y el nombre de Jesucristo, se bautizaban hombres y mujeres.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Simon too believed and was baptized. He accompanied Philip, amazed at the miraculous signs and wonders he saw.
13 El mismo Simón creyó también entonces, y bautizándose, se llegó á Felipe: y viendo los milagros y grandes maravillas que se hacían, estaba atónito.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
14 When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to visit them.
14 Y los apóstoles que estaban en Jerusalem, habiendo oído que Samaria había recibido la palabra de Dios, les enviaron á Pedro y á Juan:
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 When they arrived they prayed for the converts in Samaria to receive the Holy Spirit.
15 Los cuales venidos, oraron por ellos, para que recibiesen el Espíritu Santo;
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
16 The Holy Spirit hadn't come to any of these converts yet—they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
16 (Porque aun no había descendido sobre ninguno de ellos, mas solamente eran bautizados en el nombre de Jesús.)
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
17 The apostles placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17 Entonces les impusieron las manos, y recibieron el Espíritu Santo.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given when the apostles placed their hands on people, he offered them money.
18 Y como vió Simón que por la imposición de las manos de los apóstoles se daba el Espíritu Santo, les ofreció dinero,
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
19 “Give me this power, too,” he asked them, “so that anyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”
19 Diciendo: Dadme también á mí esta potestad, que á cualquiera que pusiere las manos encima, reciba el Espíritu Santo.
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 “May your money be destroyed together with you for thinking God's gift is something that can be bought!” Peter replied.
20 Entonces Pedro le dijo: Tu dinero perezca contigo, que piensas que el don de Dios se gane por dinero.
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21 “You're not part of any of this. None of this work belongs to you, because in God's eyes your attitude is totally wrong.
21 No tienes tú parte ni suerte en este negocio; porque tu corazón no es recto delante de Dios.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
22 Repent of your evil ways! Pray to the Lord and ask forgiveness for thinking like this.
22 Arrepiéntete pues de esta tu maldad, y ruega á Dios, si quizás te será perdonado el pensamiento de tu corazón.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 I can see that you are full of bitter envy, and chained down by your sin.”
23 Porque en hiel de amargura y en prisión de maldad veo que estás.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
24 “Please pray for me, that nothing you've said may happen to me!” Simon replied.
24 Respondiendo entonces Simón, dijo: Rogad vosotros por mí al Señor, que ninguna cosa de estas que habéis dicho, venga sobre mí.
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
25 After they had given their testimony and shared the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, sharing the good news in many Samaritan villages along the way.
25 Y ellos, habiendo testificado y hablado la palabra de Dios, se volvieron á Jerusalem, y en muchas tierras de los Samaritanos anunciaron el evangelio.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
26 An angel of the Lord told Philip, “Get ready and go south to the desert road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
26 Empero el ángel del Señor habló á Felipe, diciendo: Levántate y ve hacia el mediodía, al camino que desciende de Jerusalem á Gaza, el cual es desierto.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
27 So Philip set out, and met an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who had a high position in the service of the Kandake, Queen of Ethiopia. He was her chief treasurer. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship there, and
27 Entonces él se levantó, y fué: y he aquí un Etiope, eunuco, gobernador de Candace, reina de los Etiopes, el cual era puesto sobre todos sus tesoros, y había venido á adorar á Jerusalem,
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
28 was returning from his trip, sitting in his chariot. He was reading out loud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
28 Se volvía sentado en su carro, y leyendo el profeta Isaías.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go over close to the chariot.”
29 Y el Espíritu dijo á Felipe: Llégate, y júntate á este carro.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran over, and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. “Do you understand what you're reading?” Philip asked him.
30 Y acudiendo Felipe, le oyó que leía el profeta Isaías, y dijo: Mas ¿entiendes lo que lees?
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 “How can I, unless someone explains it?” the man replied. He invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
31 Y él dijo: ¿Y cómo podré, si alguno no me enseñare? Y rogó á Felipe que subiese, y se sentase con él.
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 The Scripture passage he was reading was this: “He was led like a sheep to be slaughtered. Like a lamb is silent in front of his shearer, he didn't say a word.
32 Y el lugar de la Escritura que leía, era éste: Como oveja á la muerte fué llevado; y como cordero mudo delante del que le trasquila, así no abrió su boca:
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
33 He was humiliated and denied justice. No one can speak of his descendants, for his life came to an end.”
33 En su humillación su juicio fué quitado: mas su generación, ¿quién la contará? porque es quitada de la tierra su vida.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, who is the prophet talking about? Is it himself, or someone else?”
34 Y respondiendo el eunuco á Felipe, dijo: Ruégote ¿de quién el profeta dice esto? ¿de sí, ó de otro alguno?
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35 Philip started explaining, beginning from this Scripture, telling him about Jesus.
35 Entonces Felipe, abriendo su boca, y comenzando desde esta escritura, le anunció el evangelio de Jesús.
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
36◆ As they continued on, they came to a stretch of water. The eunuch said, “Look, there's water here—why shouldn't I be baptized?”
36 Y yendo por el camino, llegaron á cierta agua; y dijo el eunuco: He aquí agua; ¿qué impide que yo sea bautizado?
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
37 Y Felipe dijo: Si crees de todo corazón, bien puedes. Y respondiendo, dijo: Creo que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios.

38◆ He ordered that the chariot be stopped. Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
38 Y mandó parar el carro: y descendieron ambos al agua, Felipe y el eunuco; y bautizóle.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39 When they came out of the water the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again, but he continued on his way full of joy. Philip found himself at Azotus.
39 Y como subieron del agua, el Espíritu del Señor arrebató á Felipe; y no le vió más el eunuco, y se fué por su camino gozoso.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 He spread the good news in all the towns along the way until he arrived at Caesarea.
40 Felipe empero se halló en Azoto: y pasando, anunciaba el evangelio en todas las ciudades, hasta que llegó á Cesarea.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- Hechos 8:37: la confesión de fe del eunuco
En algunas Biblias, antes de bautizar al etíope, Felipe le dice: «Si crees de todo corazón, bien puedes», y el eunuco responde: «Creo que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios». Este versículo falta en los manuscritos griegos más antiguos y en la mayoría de los bizantinos, pero san Ireneo ya lo conocía en el siglo II. Parece ser una antigua confesión bautismal añadida al relato.
Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
It seems to me, this (Philip) was one of the seven; for from Jerusalem he would not have gone southwards, but to the north; but from Samaria it was "towards the south. The same is desert:" so that there is no fear of an attack from the Jews. And he did not ask, Wherefore? but "arose and went.

And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had driven them mad by his sorceries."

… when we hear, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;" we do not of course understand it of one who believes in such a way "as the devils believe and tremble;" nor of those who receive baptism in such sort as Simon Magus, who though he could be baptized, could not be saved.
