Acts 21

| Y HABIENDO partido de ellos, navegamos y vinimos camino derecho á Coos, y al día siguiente á Rhodas, y de allí á Pátara. | And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara: |
| Y hallando un barco que pasaba á Fenicia, nos embarcamos, y partimos. | And as there was a ship going to Phoenicia, we went in it. |
| Y como avistamos á Cipro, dejándola á mano izquierda, navegamos á Siria, y vinimos á Tiro: porque el barco había de descargar allí su carga. | And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out. |
| Y nos quedamos allí siete días, hallados los discípulos, los cuales decían á Pablo por Espíritu, que no subiese á Jerusalem. | And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. |
| Y cumplidos aquellos días, salimos acompañándonos todos, con sus mujeres é hijos, hasta fuera de la ciudad; y puestos de rodillas en la ribera, oramos. | And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea, |
| Y abrazándonos los unos á los otros, subimos al barco, y ellos se volvieron á sus casas. | We said our last words to one another, and got into the ship, and they went back to their houses. |
| Y nosotros, cumplida la navegación, vinimos de Tiro á Tolemaida; y habiendo saludado á los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un día. | And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day. |
| Y otro día, partidos Pablo y los que con él estábamos, vinimos á Cesarea: y entrando en casa de Felipe el evangelista, él cual era uno de los siete, posamos con él. | And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven. |
| Y éste tenía cuatro hijas, doncellas, que profetizaban. | And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophets. |
| Y parando nosotros allí por muchos días, descendió de Judea un profeta, llamado Agabo; | And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea. |
| Y venido á nosotros, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los Judíos en Jerusalem al varón cuyo es este cinto, y le entregarán en manos de los Gentiles. | And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles. |
| Lo cual como oímos, le rogamos nosotros y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese á Jerusalem. | And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem. |
| Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis llorando y afligiéndome el corazón? porque yo no sólo estoy presto á ser atado, mas aun á morir en Jerusalem por el nombre del Señor Jesús. | Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. |
| Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor. | And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done. |
| Y después de estos días, apercibidos, subimos á Jerusalem. | And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem. |
| Y vinieron también con nosotros de Cesarea algunos de los discípulos, trayendo consigo á un Mnasón, Cyprio, discípulo antiguo, con el cual posásemos. | And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living. |
| Y cuando llegamos á Jerusalem, los hermanos nos recibieron de buena voluntad. | And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us. |
| Y al día siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Jacobo, y todos los ancianos se juntaron; | And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present. |
| A los cuales, como los hubo saludado, contó por menudo lo que Dios había hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio. | And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles. |
| Y ellos como lo oyeron, glorificaron á Dios, y le dijeron: Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares de Judíos hay que han creído; y todos son celadores de la ley: | And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law: |
| Mas fueron informados acerca de ti, que enseñas á apartarse de Moisés á todos los Judíos que están entre los Gentiles, diciéndoles que no han de circuncidar á los hijos, ni andar según la costumbre. | And they have had news of you, how you have been teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to give up the law of Moses, and not to give circumcision to their children, and not to keep the old rules. |
| ¿Qué hay pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto: porque oirán que has venido. | What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come. |
| Haz pues esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen voto sobre sí: | Do this, then, which we say to you: We have four men who have taken an oath; |
| Tomando á éstos contigo, purifícate con ellos, y gasta con ellos, para que rasuren sus cabezas, y todos entiendan que no hay nada de lo que fueron informados acerca de ti; sino que tú también andas guardando la ley. | Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law. |
| Empero cuanto á los que de los Gentiles han creído, nosotros hemos escrito haberse acordado que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo que fue sacrificado á los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación. | But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body. |
| Entonces Pablo tomó consigo aquellos hombres, y al día siguiente, habiéndose purificado con ellos, entró en el templo, para anunciar el cumplimiento de los días de la purificación, hasta ser ofrecida ofrenda por cada uno de ellos. | Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them. |
| Y cuando estaban para acabarse los siete días, unos Judíos de Asia, como le vieron en el templo, alborotaron todo el pueblo y le echaron mano, | And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the Temple, got the people together and put their hands on him, |
| Dando voces: Varones Israelitas, ayudad: Este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña á todos contra el pueblo, y la ley, y este lugar; y además de esto ha metido Gentiles en el templo, y ha contaminado este lugar Santo. | Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean. |
| Porque antes habían visto con él en la ciudad á Trófimo, Efesio, al cual pensaban que Pablo había metido en el templo. | For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple. |
| Así que, toda la ciudad se alborotó, y agolpóse el pueblo; y tomando á Pablo, hiciéronle salir fuera del templo, y luego las puertas fueron cerradas. | And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut. |
| Y procurando ellos matarle, fué dado aviso al tribuno de la compañía, que toda la ciudad de Jerusalem estaba alborotada; | And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control. |
| El cual tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corrió á ellos. Y ellos como vieron al tribuno y á los soldados, cesaron de herir á Pablo. | And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul. |
| Entonces llegando el tribuno, le prendió, y le mandó atar con dos cadenas; y preguntó quién era, y qué había hecho. | Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done. |
| Y entre la multitud, unos gritaban una cosa, y otros otra: y como no podía entender nada de cierto á causa del alboroto, le mandó llevar á la fortaleza. | And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building. |
| Y como llegó á las gradas, aconteció que fué llevado de los soldados á causa de la violencia del pueblo; | And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people; |
| Porque multitud de pueblo venía detrás, gritando: Mátale. | For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him! |
| Y como comenzaron á meter á Pablo en la fortaleza, dice al tribuno: ¿Me será lícito hablarte algo? Y él dijo: ¿Sabes griego? | And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek? |
| ¿No eres tú aquel Egipcio que levantaste una sedición antes de estos días, y sacaste al desierto cuatro mil hombres salteadores? | Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land? |
| Entonces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, ciudad no obscura de Cilicia: empero ruégote que me permitas que hable al pueblo. | But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people. |
| Y como él se lo permitió, Pablo, estando en pie en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo. Y hecho grande silencio, habló en lengua hebrea, diciendo: | And when he let him do so, Paul, from the steps, made a sign with his hand to the people, and when they were all quiet, he said to them in the Hebrew language, |
