1Y SAULO, respirando aún amenazas y muerte contra los discípulos del Señor, vino al príncipe de los sacerdotes,
1And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2Y demandó de él letras para Damasco á las sinagogas, para que si hallase algunos hombres ó mujeres de esta secta, los trajese presos á Jerusalem.
2And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3Y yendo por el camino, aconteció que llegando cerca de Damasco, súbitamente le cercó un resplandor de luz del cielo;
3And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
4Y cayendo en tierra, oyó una voz que le decía: Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues?
4And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5Y él dijo: ¿Quién eres, Señor? Y él dijo: Yo soy Jesús á quien tú persigues: dura cosa te es dar coces contra el aguijón.
5Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
6El, temblando y temeroso, dijo: Señor, ¿qué quieres que haga? Y el Señor le dice: Levántate y entra en la ciudad, y se te dirá lo que te conviene hacer.
6And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
7Y los hombres que iban con Saulo, se pararon atónitos, oyendo á la verdad la voz, mas no viendo á nadie.
7And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
8Entonces Saulo se levantó de tierra, y abriendo los ojos, no veía á nadie: así que, llevándole por la mano, metiéronle en Damasco;
8And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
9Donde estuvo tres días sin ver, y no comió, ni bebió.
9And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
10Había entonces un discípulo en Damasco llamado Ananías, al cual el Señor dijo en visión: Ananías. Y él respondió: Heme aquí, Señor.
10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.
11Y el Señor le dijo : Levántate, y ve á la calle que se llama la Derecha, y busca en casa de Judas á uno llamado Saulo, de Tarso: porque he aquí, él ora;
11And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
12Y ha visto en visión un varón llamado Ananías, que entra y le pone la mano encima, para que reciba la vista.
12(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
13Entonces Ananías respondió: Señor, he oído á muchos acerca de este hombre, cuántos males ha hecho á tus santos en Jerusalem:
13But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
14Y aun aquí tiene facultad de los príncipes de los sacerdotes de prender á todos los que invocan tu nombre.
14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
15Y le dijo el Señor: Ve: porque instrumento escogido me es éste, para que lleve mi nombre en presencia de los Gentiles, y de reyes, y de los hijos de Israel:
15And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
16Porque yo le mostraré cuánto le sea menester que padezca por mi nombre.
16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
17Ananías entonces fué, y entró en la casa, y poniéndole las manos encima, dijo: Saulo hermano, el Señor Jesús, que te apareció en el camino por donde venías, me ha enviado para que recibas la vista y seas lleno de Espíritu Santo.
17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18Y luego le cayeron de los ojos como escamas, y recibió al punto la vista: y levantándose, fué bautizado.
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
19Y como comió, fué confortado. Y estuvo Saulo por algunos días con los discípulos que estaban en Damasco.
19And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
20Y luego en las sinagogas predicaba á Cristo, diciendo que éste era el Hijo de Dios.
20And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21Y todos los que le oían estaban atónitos, y decían: ¿No es éste el que asolaba en Jerusalem á los que invocaban este nombre, y á eso vino acá, para llevarlos presos á los príncipes de los sacerdotes?
21And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
22Empero Saulo mucho más se esforzaba, y confundía á los Judíos que moraban en Damasco, afirmando que éste es el Cristo.
22But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
23Y como pasaron muchos días, los Judíos hicieron entre sí consejo de matarle;
23And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
24Mas las asechanzas de ellos fueron entendidas de Saulo. Y ellos guardaban las puertas de día y de noche para matarle.
24But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.
25Entonces los discípulos, tomándole de noche, le bajaron por el muro en una espuerta.
25But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
26Y como vino á Jerusalem, tentaba de juntarse con los discípulos; mas todos tenían miedo de él, no creyendo que era discípulo.
26And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27Entonces Bernabé, tomándole, lo trajo á los apóstoles, y contóles cómo había visto al Señor en el camino, y que le había hablado, y cómo en Damasco había hablado confiadamente en el nombre de Jesús.
27But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.
28Y entraba y salía con ellos en Jerusalem;
28And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
29Y hablaba confiadamente en el nombre del Señor: y disputaba con los Griegos; mas ellos procuraban matarle.
29He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
30Lo cual, como los hermanos entendieron, le acompañaron hasta Cesarea, y le enviaron á Tarso.
30Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31Las iglesias entonces tenían paz por toda Judea y Galilea y Samaria, y eran edificadas, andando en el temor del Señor; y con consuelo del Espíritu Santo eran multiplicadas.
31Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
32Y aconteció que Pedro, andándolos á todos, vino también á los santos que habitaban en Lydda.
32And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
33Y halló allí á uno que se llamaba Eneas, que hacía ocho años que estaba en cama, que era paralítico.
33And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
34Y le dijo Pedro: Eneas, Jesucristo te sana; levántate, y hazte tu cama. Y luego se levantó.
34And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.
35Y viéronle todos los que habitaban en Lydda y en Sarona, los cuales se convirtieron al Señor.
35And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
36Entonces en Joppe había una discípula llamada Tabita, que si lo declaras, quiere decir Dorcas. Esta era llena de buenas obras y de limosnas que hacía.
36And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37Y aconteció en aquellos días que enfermando, murió; á la cual, después de lavada, pusieron en una sala.
37And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38Y como Lydda estaba cerca de Joppe, los discípulos, oyendo que Pedro estaba allí, le enviaron dos hombres, rogándole: No te detengas en venir hasta nosotros.
38And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
39Pedro entonces levantándose, fué con ellos: y llegado que hubo, le llevaron á la sala, donde le rodearon todas las viudas, llorando y mostrando las túnicas y los vestidos que Dorcas hacía cuando estaba con ellas.
39And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.
40Entonces echados fuera todos, Pedro puesto de rodillas, oró; y vuelto al cuerpo, dijo: Tabita, levántate. Y ella abrió los ojos, y viendo á Pedro, incorporóse.
40And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41Y él le dió la mano, y levantóla: entonces llamando á los santos y las viudas, la presentó viva.
41And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42Esto fué notorio por toda Joppe; y creyeron muchos en el Señor.
42And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.
43Y aconteció que se quedó muchos días en Joppe en casa de un cierto Simón, curtidor.
43And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
