WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Luego llegó a Derbe y Listra. Allí estaba el discípulo Timoteo, hijo de una mujer judía creyente pero de padre griego.
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.
2 Los hermanos de Listra e Iconio hablaban bien de él.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3 Pablo quiso que éste fuera con él. Por causa de los judíos que estaban en aquellos lugares, lo circuncidó, porque todos sabían que su padre era griego.
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.
4 Cuando pasaban por las ciudades, les entregaban los acuerdos aprobados por los apóstoles y ancianos de Jerusalén para que los practicaran.
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.
5 Así las iglesias eran fortalecidas en la fe, y el número de ellas aumentaba cada día.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 El Santo Espíritu les impidió hablar la Palabra en Asia. Viajaron a través de Frigia y Galacia.
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.
7 Siguieron a Misia. Intentaban proseguir a Bitinia, pero el Espíritu de Jesús no les permitió.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8 De Misia bajaron a Troas.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Pablo tuvo una visión de noche: Un varón macedonio puesto en pie lo exhortaba: ¡Pasa a 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.”
10 Cuando tuvo la visión, de inmediato procuramos partir hacia Macedonia, pues entendimos que Dios nos llamaba para que les proclamáramos las Buenas Noticias.
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.
11 Zarpamos de Troas, navegamos directamente a Samotracia y al siguiente día a Neápolis.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 De allí a Filipos, la cual es una colonia romana y la primera ciudad de la provincia de Macedonia. Pasamos algunos días en esta ciudad.
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.
13 Un sábado salimos fuera de la puerta de la ciudad, a la orilla del río, donde suponíamos que había un lugar de conversación con Dios. Nos sentamos y hablamos a las mujeres reunidas.
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.
14 Escuchaba una mujer llamada Lidia de [la] ciudad de Tiatira, negociante en telas de púrpura, que adoraba a Dios. El Señor abrió su corazón para que estuviera atenta a lo dicho por 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.
15 Cuando fue bautizada, [ella] y su familia, nos rogó: Si me consideran fiel al Señor, entren en mi casa y reciban hospedaje. Y nos impulsó vigorosamente.
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.
16 Aconteció que cuando íbamos a hablar con Dios, nos salió al encuentro una muchacha esclava que tenía espíritu de adivinación, la cual daba gran ganancia a sus amos.
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.
17 Ésta nos seguía y gritaba: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Altísimo. Les anuncian el camino de salvación.
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!”
18 Esto lo hacía por muchos días. Entonces Pablo se perturbó y dijo al espíritu: ¡En el Nombre de Jesucristo te ordeno que salgas de ella! Y en ese momento 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.
19 Pero sus amos, al ver que la esperanza de su ganancia se acabó, agarraron a Pablo y a Silas, y [los] arrastraron hasta la plaza pública ante las autoridades.
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.
20 Cuando los presentaron ante los magistrados, dijeron: Estos judíos alborotan nuestra ciudad
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
21 y proclaman costumbres que no es lícito aceptar ni practicar, porque somos romanos.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
22 La multitud se agolpó contra ellos. Los magistrados les rasgaron las ropas y mandaron azotarlos 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.
23 Los azotaron mucho, los echaron en la cárcel y ordenaron al carcelero custodiarlos con seguridad.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24 Éste recibió la orden, los metió en el calabozo interior y les aseguró 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.
25 Como a medianoche Pablo y Silas hablaban con Dios y cantaban himnos, y los presos los escuchaban.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 De repente hubo un gran terremoto que sacudió los cimientos de la cárcel. Al instante todas las puertas fueron abiertas y las cadenas de todos los presos se soltaron.
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.
27 Entonces despertó el carcelero y vio las puertas de la cárcel abiertas. Desenvainó su espada y se iba a suicidar, porque supuso que los presos se habían escapado.
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.
28 Pero Pablo clamó a gran voz: ¡No te hagas algún mal! ¡Todos estamos aquí!
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
29 Entonces pidió luz y se precipitó adentro. Temblaba y se arrodilló ante Pablo y Silas.
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 Los condujo afuera y [les] preguntó: Señores, ¿qué hago para ser salvo?
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Ellos respondieron: 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.”
32 Hablaron la Palabra del Señor a él y a 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.
33 Los tomó en aquella hora de la noche y les lavó las heridas. De inmediato él fue bautizado y todos los de su casa.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34 Los subió a la casa, les sirvió alimentos y se gozó muchísimo porque creyó en Dios junto con toda su casa.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
35 Cuando amaneció, los magistrados enviaron a los alguaciles para que dijeran al carcelero: Suelta a esos hombres.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
36 El carcelero anunció a Pablo las palabras: Los magistrados enviaron a decir que ustedes sean soltados. Salgan ahora y vayan 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.”
37 Pero Pablo les respondió: Nos azotaron públicamente sin una sentencia apropiada. Aunque somos varones romanos, nos echaron en prisión, ¿y ahora encubiertamente [nos] expulsan? ¡Pues no! Vengan ellos mismos y sáquennos.
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!”
38 Los alguaciles informaron estas palabras a los magistrados. Al oír que eran romanos, se atemorizaron.
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39 [Los aguaciles] fueron a la cárcel, trataron de pacificarlos, los sacaron y [les] rogaron salir de la ciudad.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40 Cuando salieron de la cárcel, fueron a [la casa] de Lidia. Vieron a los hermanos, los exhortaron y salieron.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.

was thought likely") to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." See again Paul judaizing.

… sailing from Troas, we directed our ship's course towards Samothracia." And then he carefully indicates all the rest of their journey as far as Philippi, and how they delivered their first address: "for, sitting down," he says, "we spake unto the women who had assembled;" and certain believed, even a great many.
Hear, for instance, the seller of purple saying, "If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come in, and abide with me." Hear the women, who went about with the apostles, having taken unto themselves manly courage, Priscilla, Persis, and the rest; from whom our present women are as far removed as our men from their men.
