Acts 6
|
| EN aquellos días, creciendo el número de los discípulos, hubo murmuración de los Griegos contra los Hebreos, de que sus viudas eran menospreciadas en el ministerio cotidiano. | Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. |
| Así que, los doce convocaron la multitud de los discípulos, y dijeron: No es justo que nosotros dejemos la palabra de Dios, y sirvamos á las mesas. | And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. |
| Buscad pues, hermanos, siete varones de vosotros de buen testimonio, llenos de Espíritu Santo y de sabiduría, los cuales pongamos en esta obra. | Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. |
| Y nosotros persistiremos en la oración, y en el ministerio de la palabra. | But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word. |
| Y plugo el parecer á toda la multitud; y eligieron á Esteban, varón lleno de fe y de Espíritu Santo, y á Felipe, y á Prócoro, y á Nicanor, y á Timón, y á Parmenas, y á Nicolás, prosélito de Antioquía: | And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch; |
| A estos presentaron delante de los apóstoles, los cuales orando les pusieron las manos encima. | whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them. |
| Y crecía la palabra del Señor, y el número de los discípulos se multiplicaba mucho en Jerusalem: también una gran multitud de los sacerdotes obedecía á la fe. | And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. |
| Empero Esteban, lleno de gracia y de potencia, hacía prodigios y milagros grandes en el pueblo. | And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people. |
| Levantáronse entonces unos de la sinagoga que se llama de los Libertinos, y Cireneos, y Alejandrinos, y de los de Cilicia, y de Asia, disputando con Esteban. | But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. |
| Mas no podían resistir á la sabiduría y al Espíritu con que hablaba. | And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake. |
| Entonces sobornaron á unos que dijesen que le habían oído hablar palabras blasfemas contra Moisés y Dios. | Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God. |
| Y conmovieron al pueblo, y á los ancianos, y á los escribas; y arremetiendo le arrebataron, y le trajeron al concilio. | And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council, |
| Y pusieron testigos falsos, que dijesen: Este hombre no cesa de hablar palabras blasfemas contra este lugar santo y la ley: | and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law: |
| Porque le hemos oído decir, que Jesús de Nazaret destruirá este lugar, y mudará las ordenanzas que nos dió Moisés. | for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us. |
| Entonces todos los que estaban sentados en el concilio, puestos los ojos en él, vieron su rostro como el rostro de un ángel. | And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. |
