Acts 4
|
| Y HABLANDO ellos al pueblo, sobrevinieron los sacerdotes, y el magistrado del templo, y los Saduceos, | And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them, |
| Resentidos de que enseñasen al pueblo, y anunciasen en Jesús la resurrección de los muertos. | Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead. |
| Y les echaron mano, y los pusieron en la cárcel hasta el día siguiente; porque era ya tarde. | And they took them and put them in prison till the morning, for it was now evening. |
| Mas muchos de los que habían oído la palabra, creyeron; y fué el número de los varones como cinco mil. | But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand. |
| Y aconteció al día siguiente, que se juntaron en Jerusalem los príncipes de ellos, y los ancianos, y los escribas; | And on the day after, the rulers and those in authority and the scribes came together in Jerusalem; |
| Y Anás, príncipe de los sacerdotes, y Caifás, y Juan y Alejandro, y todos los que eran del linaje sacerdotal; | And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest. |
| Y haciéndolos presentar en medio, les preguntaron: ¿Con qué potestad, ó en qué nombre, habéis hecho vosotros esto? | Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this? |
| Entonce Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, les dijo: Príncipes del pueblo, y ancianos de Israel: | Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority, |
| Pues que somos hoy demandados acerca del beneficio hecho á un hombre enfermo, de qué manera éste haya sido sanado, | If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well, |
| Sea notorio á todos vosotros, y á todo el pueblo de Israel, que en el nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, al que vosotros crucificasteis y Dios le resucitó de los muertos, por él este hombre está en vuestra presencia sano. | Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well. |
| Este es la piedra reprobada de vosotros los edificadores, la cual es puesta por cabeza del ángulo. | He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building. |
| Y en ningún otro hay salud; porque no hay otro nombre debajo del cielo, dado á los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos. | And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation. |
| Entonces viendo la constancia de Pedro y de Juan, sabido que eran hombres sin letras é ignorantes, se maravillaban; y les conocían que habían estado con Jesús. | Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus. |
| Y viendo al hombre que había sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podían decir nada en contra. | And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it. |
| Mas les mandaron que se saliesen fuera del concilio; y conferían entre sí, | But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves, |
| Diciendo: ¿Qué hemos de hacer á estos hombres? porque de cierto, señal manifiesta ha sido hecha por ellos, notoria á todos los que moran en Jerusalem, y no lo podemos negar. | Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so. |
| Todavía, porque no se divulgue más por el pueblo, amenacémoslos, que no hablen de aquí adelante á hombre alguno en este nombre. | But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name. |
| Y llamándolos, les intimaron que en ninguna manera hablasen ni enseñasen en el nombre de Jesús. | And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus. |
| Entonces Pedro y Juan, respondiendo, les dijeron: Juzgad si es justo delante de Dios obedecer antes á vosotros que á Dios: | But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God: |
| Porque no podemos dejar de decir lo que hemos visto y oído. | For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of. |
| Ellos entonces los despacharon amenazándolos, no hallando ningún modo de castigarlos, por causa del pueblo; porque todos glorificaban á Dios de lo que había sido hecho. | And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place. |
| Porque el hombre en quien había sido hecho este milagro de sanidad, era de más de cuarenta años. | For the man on whom this act of power was done was more than forty years old. |
| Y sueltos, vinieron á los suyos, y contaron todo lo que los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos les habían dicho. | And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them. |
| Y ellos, habiéndolo oído, alzaron unánimes la voz á Dios, y dijeron: Señor, tú eres el Dios que hiciste el cielo y la tierra, la mar, y todo lo que en ellos hay; | And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them: |
| Que por boca de David, tu siervo, dijiste: ¿Por qué han bramado las gentes, Y los pueblos han pensado cosas vanas? | Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish? |
| Asistieron los reyes de la tierra, Y los príncipes se juntaron en uno Contra el Señor, y contra su Cristo. | The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ: |
| Porque verdaderamente se juntaron en esta ciudad contra tu santo Hijo Jesús, al cual ungiste, Herodes y Poncio Pilato, con los Gentiles y los pueblos de Israel, | For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together, |
| Para hacer lo que tu mano y tu consejo habían antes determinado que había de ser hecho. | To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose. |
| Y ahora, Señor, mira sus amenazas, y da á tus siervos que con toda confianza hablen tu palabra; | And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear, |
| Que extiendas tu mano á que sanidades, y milagros, y prodigios sean hechos por el nombre de tu santo Hijo Jesús. | While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus. |
| Y como hubieron orado, el lugar en que estaban congregados tembló; y todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y hablaron la palabra de Dios con confianza. | And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear. |
| Y la multitud de los que habían creído era de un corazón y un alma: y ninguno decía ser suyo algo de lo que poseía; mas todas las cosas les eran comunes. | And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common. |
| Y los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurrección del Señor Jesús con gran esfuerzo; y gran gracia era en todos ellos. | And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all. |
| Que ningún necesitado había entre ellos: porque todos los que poseían heredades ó casas, vendiéndolas, traían el precio de lo vendido, | And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them, |
| Y lo ponían á los pies de los apóstoles; y era repartido á cada uno según que había menester. | And put it at the feet of the Apostles for distribution to everyone as he had need. |
| Entonces José, que fué llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre, Bernabé, (que es interpretado, Hijo de consolación) Levita, natural de Cipro, | And Joseph, who was given by the Apostles the name of Barnabas (the sense of which is, Son of comfort), a Levite and a man of Cyprus by birth, |
| Como tuviese una heredad, la vendió, y trajo el precio, y púsolo á los pies de los apóstoles. | Having a field, got money for it and put the money at the feet of the Apostles. |
