¹Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

¹DESPUÉS llegó á Derbe, y á Listra: y he aquí, estaba allí un discípulo llamado Timoteo, hijo de una mujer Judía fiel, mas de padre Griego.

²Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

²De éste daban buen testimonio los hermanos que estaban en Listra y en Iconio.

³Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

³Este quiso Pablo que fuese con él; y tomándole, le circuncidó por causa de los Judíos que estaban en aquellos lugares; porque todos sabían que su padre era Griego.

⁴And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

⁴Y como pasaban por las ciudades, les daban que guardasen los decretos que habían sido determinados por los apóstoles y los ancianos que estaban en Jerusalem.

⁵And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

⁵Así que, las iglesias eran confirmadas en fe, y eran aumentadas en número cada día.

⁶Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

⁶Y pasando á Phrygia y la provincia de Galacia, les fué prohibido por el Espíritu Santo hablar la palabra en Asia.

⁷After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

⁷Y como vinieron á Misia, tentaron de ir á Bithynia; mas el Espíritu no les dejó.

⁸And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

⁸Y pasando á Misia, descendieron á Troas.

⁹And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

⁹Y fué mostrada á Pablo de noche una visión: Un varón Macedonio se puso delante, rogándole, y diciendo: Pasa á Macedonia, y ayúdanos.

¹⁰And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

¹⁰Y como vió la visión, luego procuramos partir á Macedonia, dando por cierto que Dios nos llamaba para que les anunciásemos el evangelio.

¹¹Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

¹¹Partidos pues de Troas, vinimos camino derecho á Samotracia, y el día siguiente á Neápolis;

¹²And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

¹²Y de allí á Filipos, que es la primera ciudad de la parte de Macedonia, y una colonia; y estuvimos en aquella ciudad algunos días.

¹³And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

¹³Y un día de sábado salimos de la puerta junto al río, donde solía ser la oración; y sentándonos, hablamos á las mujeres que se habían juntado.

¹⁴And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

¹⁴Entonces una mujer llamada Lidia, que vendía púrpura en la ciudad de Tiatira, temerosa de Dios, estaba oyendo; el corazón de la cual abrió el Señor para que estuviese atenta á lo que Pablo decía.

¹⁵And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

¹⁵Y cuando fué bautizada, y su familia, nos rogó, diciendo: Si habéis juzgado que yo sea fiel al Señor, entrad en mi casa, y posad: y constriñónos.

¹⁶And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

¹⁶Y aconteció, que yendo nosotros á la oración, una muchacha que tenía espíritu pitónico, nos salió al encuentro, la cual daba grande ganancia á sus amos adivinando.

¹⁷The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

¹⁷Esta, siguiendo á Pablo y á nosotros, daba voces, diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Alto, los cuales os anuncian el camino de salud.

¹⁸And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

¹⁸Y esto hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando á Pablo, se volvió y dijo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella. Y salió en la misma hora.

¹⁹And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

¹⁹Y viendo sus amos que había salido la esperanza de su ganancia, prendieron á Pablo y á Silas, y los trajeron al foro, al magistrado;

²⁰And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

²⁰Y presentándolos á los magistrados, dijeron: Estos hombres, siendo Judíos, alborotan nuestra ciudad,

²¹And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

²¹Y predican ritos, los cuales no nos es lícito recibir ni hacer, pues somos Romanos.

²²And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

²²Y agolpóse el pueblo contra ellos: y los magistrados rompiéndoles sus ropas, les mandaron azotar con varas.

²³And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

²³Y después que los hubieron herido de muchos azotes, los echaron en la cárcel, mandando al carcelero que los guardase con diligencia:

²⁴Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

²⁴El cual, recibido este mandamiento, los metió en la cárcel de más adentro; y les apretó los pies en el cepo.

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

²⁵Mas á media noche, orando Pablo y Silas, cantaban himnos á Dios: y los que estaban presos los oían.

²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

²⁶Entonces fué hecho de repente un gran terremoto, de tal manera que los cimientos de la cárcel se movían; y luego todas las puertas se abrieron, y las prisiones de todos soltaron.

²⁷And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

²⁷Y despertado el carcelero, como vió abiertas las puertas de la cárcel, sacando la espada se quería matar, pensando que los presos se habían huído.

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

²⁸Mas Pablo clamó á gran voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún mal; que todos estamos aquí.

²⁹Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

²⁹El entonces pidiendo luz, entró dentro, y temblando, derribóse á los pies de Pablo y de Silas;

³⁰And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

³⁰Y sacándolos fuera, le dice: Señores, ¿qué es menester que yo haga para ser salvo?

³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

³¹Y ellos dijeron: Cree en el Señor Jesucristo, y serás salvo tú, y tu casa.

³²And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

³²Y le hablaron la palabra del Señor, y á todos los que estan en su casa.

³³And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

³³Y tomándolos en aquella misma hora de la noche, les lavó los azotes; y se bautizó luego él, y todos los suyos.

³⁴And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

³⁴Y llevándolos á su casa, les puso la mesa: y se gozó de que con toda su casa había creído á Dios.

³⁵And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

³⁵Y como fué, día, los magistrados enviaron los alguaciles, diciendo: Deja ir á aquellos hombres.

³⁶And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

³⁶Y el carcelero hizo saber estas palabras á Pablo: Los magistrados han enviado á decir que seás sueltos: así que ahora salid, é id en paz.

³⁷But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

³⁷Entonces Pablo les dijo: Azotados públicamente sin ser condenados, siendo hombres Romanos, nos echaron en la cárcel; y ¿ahora nos echan encubiertamente? No, de cierto, sino vengan ellos y sáquennos.

³⁸And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

³⁸Y los alguaciles volvieron á decir á los magistrados estas palabras: y tuvieron miedo, oído que eran Romanos.

³⁹And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

³⁹Y viniendo, les rogaron; y sacándolos, les pidieron que se saliesen de la ciudad.

⁴⁰And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

⁴⁰Entonces salidos de la cárcel, entraron en casa de Lidia; y habiendo visto á los hermanos, los consolaron, y se salieron.
