Hechos 23

And looking intently at the Sanhedrin, Paul said, “Men and brothers, I have lived my life in all good conscience before God to this day.”

ENTONCES Pablo, poniendo los ojos en el concilio, dice: Varones hermanos, yo con toda buena conciencia he conversado delante de Dios hasta el día de hoy.

And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”

So the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near him to strike his mouth.

El príncipe de los sacerdotes, Ananías, mandó entonces á los que estaban delante de él, que le hiriesen en la boca.

And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! And are you sitting there judging me according to the law, and acting contrary to the law do you order me to be struck?”

Entonces Pablo le dijo: Herirte ha Dios, pared blanqueada: ¿y estás tú sentado para juzgarme conforme á la ley, y contra la ley me mandas herir?

Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

And those who stood nearby said, “Are you reviling the high priest of God?”

Y los que estaban presentes dijeron: ¿Al sumo sacerdote de Dios maldices?

And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?

Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”

And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”

Y Pablo dijo: No sabía, hermanos, que era el sumo sacerdote; pues escrito está: Al príncipe de tu pueblo no maldecirás.

Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”

Now when Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, “Men and brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!”

Entonces Pablo, sabiendo que la una parte era de Saduceos, y la otra de Fariseos, clamó en el concilio: Varones hermanos, yo soy Fariseo, hijo de Fariseo: de la esperanza y de la resurrección de los muertos soy yo juzgado.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

And when he said this, a dispute developed between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

Y como hubo dicho esto, fué hecha disensión entre los Fariseos y los Saduceos; y la multitud fué dividida.

And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.

(For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angel or spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)

Porque los Saduceos dicen que no hay resurrección, ni ángel, ni espíritu; mas los Fariseos confiesan ambas cosas.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

And there was loud shouting, and some of the scribes from the party of the Pharisees stood up and contended sharply, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man! But what if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

Y levantóse un gran clamor: y levantándose los escribas de la parte de los Fariseos, contendían diciendo: Ningún mal hallamos en este hombre; que si espíritu le ha hablado, ó ángel, no resistamos á Dios.

And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

And when the dispute became severe, the military tribune, fearing lest Paul be torn apart by them, ordered the detachment to go down, take him away from their midst, and bring him into the barracks.

Y habiendo grande disensión, el tribuno, teniendo temor de que Pablo fuese despedazado de ellos, mandó venir soldados, y arrebatarle de en medio de ellos, y llevarle á la fortaleza.

And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.

When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.

And the next night the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage, for as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

Y la noche siguiente, presentándosele el Señor, le dijo: Confía, Pablo; que como has testificado de mí en Jerusalem, así es menester testifiques también en Roma.

And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”

And when it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse, saying they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

Y venido el día, algunos de los Judíos se juntaron, é hicieron voto bajo de maldición, diciendo que ni comerían ni beberían hasta que hubiesen muerto á Pablo.

And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

Now there were more than forty who had made this conspiracy,

Y eran más de cuarenta los que habían hecho esta conjuración;

And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

who went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a curse to partake of nothing until we have killed Paul.

Los cuales se fueron á los príncipes de los sacerdotes y á los ancianos, y dijeron: Nosotros hemos hecho voto debajo de maldición, que no hemos de gustar nada hasta que hayamos muerto á Pablo.

And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.

They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

Therefore, now you along with the Sanhedrin explain to the military tribune that he should bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine more accurately the things concerning him. And we are ready to do away with him before he comes near.”

Ahora pues, vosotros, con el concilio, requerid al tribuno que le saque mañana á vosotros como que queréis entender de él alguna cosa más cierta; y nosotros, antes que él llegue, estaremos aparejados para matarle.

Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, he came and entered into the barracks and reported it to Paul.

Entonces un hijo de la hermana de Pablo, oyendo las asechanzas, fué, y entró en la fortaleza, y dió aviso á Pablo.

And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.

So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the military tribune, because he has something to report to him.”

Y Pablo, llamando á uno de los centuriones, dice: Lleva á este mancebo al tribuno, porque tiene cierto aviso que darle.

Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.

Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”

So he took him and brought him to the military tribune and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”

El entonces tomándole, le llevó al tribuno, y dijo: El preso Pablo, llamándome, me rogó que trajese á ti este mancebo, que tiene algo que hablarte.

So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.

So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”

And the military tribune, taking hold of his hand and withdrawing privately, asked, “What is it that you have to report to me?”

Y el tribuno, tomándole de la mano y retirándose aparte, le preguntó: ¿Qué es lo que tienes que decirme?

Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”

And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you that you bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

Y él dijo: Los Judíos han concertado rogarte que mañana saques á Pablo al concilio, como que han de inquirir de él alguna cosa más cierta.

And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty men of ⌞their number⌟ are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for ⌞you to agree⌟.”

Mas tú no los creas; porque más de cuarenta hombres de ellos le acechan, los cuales han hecho voto debajo de maldición, de no comer ni beber hasta que le hayan muerto; y ahora están apercibidos esperando tu promesa.

But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.

Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”

So the military tribune sent the young man away, directing him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

Entonces el tribuno despidió al mancebo, mandándole que á nadie dijese que le había dado aviso de esto.

So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.

So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

And he summoned two of the centurions and said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea.

Y llamados dos centuriones, mandó que apercibiesen para la hora tercia de la noche doscientos soldados, que fuesen hasta Cesarea, y setenta de á caballo, y doscientos lanceros;

And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”

And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”

Y que aparejasen cabalgaduras en que poniendo á Pablo, le llevasen en salvo á Félix el Presidente.

And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

⌞He wrote⌟ a letter that had this form:

Y escribió una carta en estos términos:

And he wrote a letter after this manner:

He wrote a letter like this:

Claudius Lysias. To his excellency Governor Felix. <block> Greetings!

Claudio Lisias al excelentísimo gobernador Félix: Salud.

Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.

“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the detachment and rescued him, because I learned that he was a Roman citizen.

A este hombre, aprehendido de los Judíos, y que iban ellos á matar, libré yo acudiendo con la tropa, habiendo entendido que era Romano.

This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

And because I wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.

Y queriendo saber la causa por qué le acusaban, le llevé al concilio de ellos:

And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

I found ⌞he⌟ was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment.

Y hallé que le acusaban de cuestiones de la ley de ellos, y que ningún crimen tenía digno de muerte ó de prisión.

Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

And when it was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also ordering his accusers to speak against him before you. </block>

Mas siéndome dado aviso de asechanzas que le habían aparejado los Judíos, luego al punto le he enviado á ti, intimando también á los acusadores que traten delante de ti lo que tienen contra él. Pásalo bien.

And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.

When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”

Therefore the soldiers, in accordance with ⌞their orders⌟, took Paul and brought him to Antipatris during the night.

Y los soldados, tomando á Pablo como les era mandado, lleváronle de noche á Antipatris.

Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.

So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

And on the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.

Y al día siguiente, dejando á los de á caballo que fuesen con él, se volvieron á la fortaleza.

On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.

⌞The horsemen⌟, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.

Y como llegaron á Cesarea, y dieron la carta al gobernador, presentaron también á Pablo delante de él.

Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

So after reading the letter and asking what province he was from, and learning that he was from Cilicia,

Y el gobernador, leída la carta, preguntó de qué provincia era; y entendiendo que de Cilicia,

And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,

Te oiré, dijo, cuando vinieren tus acusadores. Y mandó que le guardasen en el pretorio de Herodes.

I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
