1And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
1DESPUÉS llegó á Derbe, y á Listra: y he aquí, estaba allí un discípulo llamado Timoteo, hijo de una mujer Judía fiel, mas de padre Griego.
2To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
2De éste daban buen testimonio los hermanos que estaban en Listra y en Iconio.
3Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
3Este quiso Pablo que fuese con él; y tomándole, le circuncidó por causa de los Judíos que estaban en aquellos lugares; porque todos sabían que su padre era Griego.
4And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
4Y como pasaban por las ciudades, les daban que guardasen los decretos que habían sido determinados por los apóstoles y los ancianos que estaban en Jerusalem.
5And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
5Así que, las iglesias eran confirmadas en fe, y eran aumentadas en número cada día.
6And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
6Y pasando á Phrygia y la provincia de Galacia, les fué prohibido por el Espíritu Santo hablar la palabra en Asia.
7And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
7Y como vinieron á Misia, tentaron de ir á Bithynia; mas el Espíritu no les dejó.
8And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
8Y pasando á Misia, descendieron á Troas.
9And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
9Y fué mostrada á Pablo de noche una visión: Un varón Macedonio se puso delante, rogándole, y diciendo: Pasa á Macedonia, y ayúdanos.
10And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
10Y como vió la visión, luego procuramos partir á Macedonia, dando por cierto que Dios nos llamaba para que les anunciásemos el evangelio.
11And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Partidos pues de Troas, vinimos camino derecho á Samotracia, y el día siguiente á Neápolis;
12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
12Y de allí á Filipos, que es la primera ciudad de la parte de Macedonia, y una colonia; y estuvimos en aquella ciudad algunos días.
13And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
13Y un día de sábado salimos de la puerta junto al río, donde solía ser la oración; y sentándonos, hablamos á las mujeres que se habían juntado.
14And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
14Entonces una mujer llamada Lidia, que vendía púrpura en la ciudad de Tiatira, temerosa de Dios, estaba oyendo; el corazón de la cual abrió el Señor para que estuviese atenta á lo que Pablo decía.
15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
15Y cuando fué bautizada, y su familia, nos rogó, diciendo: Si habéis juzgado que yo sea fiel al Señor, entrad en mi casa, y posad: y constriñónos.
16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
16Y aconteció, que yendo nosotros á la oración, una muchacha que tenía espíritu pitónico, nos salió al encuentro, la cual daba grande ganancia á sus amos adivinando.
17This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
17Esta, siguiendo á Pablo y á nosotros, daba voces, diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Alto, los cuales os anuncian el camino de salud.
18And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
18Y esto hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando á Pablo, se volvió y dijo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella. Y salió en la misma hora.
19But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
19Y viendo sus amos que había salido la esperanza de su ganancia, prendieron á Pablo y á Silas, y los trajeron al foro, al magistrado;
20And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
20Y presentándolos á los magistrados, dijeron: Estos hombres, siendo Judíos, alborotan nuestra ciudad,
21And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
21Y predican ritos, los cuales no nos es lícito recibir ni hacer, pues somos Romanos.
22And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22Y agolpóse el pueblo contra ellos: y los magistrados rompiéndoles sus ropas, les mandaron azotar con varas.
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
23Y después que los hubieron herido de muchos azotes, los echaron en la cárcel, mandando al carcelero que los guardase con diligencia:
24Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24El cual, recibido este mandamiento, los metió en la cárcel de más adentro; y les apretó los pies en el cepo.
25And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
25Mas á media noche, orando Pablo y Silas, cantaban himnos á Dios: y los que estaban presos los oían.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
26Entonces fué hecho de repente un gran terremoto, de tal manera que los cimientos de la cárcel se movían; y luego todas las puertas se abrieron, y las prisiones de todos se soltaron.
27And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
27Y despertado el carcelero, como vió abiertas las puertas de la cárcel, sacando la espada se quería matar, pensando que los presos se habían huído.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
28Mas Pablo clamó á gran voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún mal; que todos estamos aquí.
29Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
29El entonces pidiendo luz, entró dentro, y temblando, derribóse á los pies de Pablo y de Silas;
30And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
30Y sacándolos fuera, les dice: Señores, ¿qué es menester que yo haga para ser salvo?
31But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
31Y ellos dijeron: Cree en el Señor Jesucristo, y serás salvo tú, y tu casa.
32And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
32Y le hablaron la palabra del Señor, y á todos los que estaban en su casa.
33And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
33Y tomándolos en aquella misma hora de la noche, les lavó los azotes; y se bautizó luego él, y todos los suyos.
34And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
34Y llevándolos á su casa, les puso la mesa: y se gozó de que con toda su casa había creído á Dios.
35And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35Y como fué de día, los magistrados enviaron los alguaciles, diciendo: Deja ir á aquellos hombres.
36And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
36Y el carcelero hizo saber estas palabras á Pablo: Los magistrados han enviado á decir que seáis sueltos: así que ahora salid, é id en paz.
37But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
37Entonces Pablo les dijo: Azotados públicamente sin ser condenados, siendo hombres Romanos, nos echaron en la cárcel; y ¿ahora nos echan encubiertamente? No, de cierto, sino vengan ellos y sáquennos.
38And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
38Y los alguaciles volvieron á decir á los magistrados estas palabras: y tuvieron miedo, oído que eran Romanos.
39And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
39Y viniendo, les rogaron; y sacándolos, les pidieron que se saliesen de la ciudad.
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
40Entonces salidos de la cárcel, entraron en casa de Lidia; y habiendo visto á los hermanos, los consolaron, y se salieron.
