| 1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. | 1 «Hermanos israelitas y padres: escuchad la defensa que hago ahora ante vosotros». |
| 2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) | 2 Al oír que les hablaba en lengua hebrea, guardaron mayor silencio. Y continuó: |
| 3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. | 3 «Yo soy judío, nacido en Tarso de Cilicia, pero educado en esta ciudad; me formé a los pies de Gamaliel en la exacta observancia de la ley de nuestros padres; he servido a Dios con tanto celo como vosotros mostráis hoy. |
| 4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. | 4 Yo perseguí a muerte este Camino, encadenando y metiendo en la cárcel a hombres y mujeres, |
| 5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. | 5 como pueden atestiguar en favor mío el sumo sacerdote y todo el consejo de los ancianos. Ellos me dieron cartas para los hermanos de Damasco, y me puse en camino con el propósito de traerme encadenados a Jerusalén a los que encontrase allí, para que los castigaran. |
| 6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. | 6 Pero yendo de camino, cerca ya de Damasco, hacia mediodía, de repente una gran luz del cielo me envolvió con su resplandor; |
| 7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? | 7 caí por tierra y oí una voz que me decía: “Saúl, Saúl, ¿por qué me persigues?”. |
| 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. | 8 Yo pregunté: “¿Quién eres, Señor?”. Y me dijo: “Yo soy Jesús el Nazareno a quien tú persigues”. |
| 9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. | 9 Mis compañeros vieron el resplandor, pero no oyeron la voz que me hablaba. |
| 10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. | 10 Yo pregunté: “¿Qué debo hacer, Señor?”. El Señor me respondió: “Levántate, continúa el camino hasta Damasco, y allí te dirán todo lo que está determinado que hagas”. |
| 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. | 11 Como yo no veía, cegado por el resplandor de aquella luz, mis compañeros me llevaron de la mano a Damasco. |
| 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, | 12 Un cierto Ananías, hombre piadoso según la ley, recomendado por el testimonio de todos los judíos residentes en la ciudad, |
| 13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. | 13 vino a verme, se puso a mi lado y me dijo: “Saúl, hermano, recobra la vista”. Inmediatamente recobré la vista y lo vi. |
| 14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. | 14 Él me dijo: “El Dios de nuestros padres te ha elegido para que conozcas su voluntad, veas al Justo y escuches la voz de sus labios, |
| 15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. | 15 porque vas a ser su testigo ante todos los hombres de lo que has visto y oído. |
| 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. | 16 Ahora, ¿qué te detiene? Levántate, recibe el bautismo y lava tus pecados invocando su nombre”. |
| 17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; | 17 Regresé a Jerusalén y, mientras oraba en el templo, caí en éxtasis |
| 18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. | 18 y lo vi que me decía: “Date prisa y sal inmediatamente de Jerusalén, pues no recibirán tu testimonio acerca de mí”. |
| 19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: | 19 Yo respondí: “Señor, ellos saben que yo andaba por la sinagogas encarcelando y azotando a los que creían en ti; |
| 20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. | 20 y cuando se derramaba la sangre de tu testigo Esteban, yo también me encontraba presente, aprobándolo y guardando los vestidos de los que lo mataban”. |
| 21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. | 21 Pero él me dijo: “Ponte en camino, porque yo te voy a enviar lejos, a los gentiles”». |
| 22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. | 22 Lo estuvieron escuchando hasta estas palabras y entonces alzaron sus voces diciendo: «Quita de la tierra a ese, pues no merece vivir». |
| 23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, | 23 Y como ellos siguiesen gritando, agitando sus vestidos y echando polvo al aire, |
| 24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. | 24 el tribuno ordenó que lo llevasen dentro del cuartel y dijo que lo sometieran a los azotes para averiguar por qué motivo gritaban así contra él. |
| 25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? | 25 Mientras lo estiraban con las correas, preguntó Pablo al centurión que estaba presente: «¿Os está permitido azotar a un ciudadano romano sin previa sentencia?». |
| 26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. | 26 Al oírlo, el centurión fue a avisar al tribuno: «Mira bien lo que vas a hacer, pues ese hombre es ciudadano romano». |
| 27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. | 27 Acudió el tribuno y le pregunto: «Dime, ¿tú eres romano?». Él respondió: «Sí». |
| 28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. | 28 El tribuno añadió: «Yo adquirí esta ciudadanía por una gran suma». Pablo contestó: «Pues yo nací con ella». |
| 29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. | 29 Los que iban a atormentarlo para hacerlo hablar se retiraron enseguida, y el tribuno tuvo miedo al darse cuenta de que lo había encadenado siendo ciudadano romano. |
| 30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. | 30 Al día siguiente, queriendo conocer con certeza los motivos por los que lo acusaban los judíos, mandó desatarlo, ordenó que se reunieran los sumos sacerdotes y el Sanedrín en pleno y, bajando a Pablo, lo presentó ante ellos. |
