1 En Iconio entraron en la sinagoga de los judíos, según su costumbre, y hablaron de tal forma que creyó un buen número de judíos y de griegos.1 Now it happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke in such a way that a copious multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Pero los judíos que no habían creído excitaron y enconaron los ánimos de los gentiles contra los hermanos.2 Yet truly, the Jews who were unbelieving had incited and enflamed the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 A pesar de ello, se detuvieron allí bastante tiempo, hablando con valentía apoyados en el Señor, que daba testimonio de la palabra de su gracia al concederles realizar por su mano signos y prodigios.3 And so, they remained for a long time, acting faithfully in the Lord, offering testimony to the Word of his grace, providing signs and wonders done by their hands.
4 La población de la ciudad se dividió en bandos, unos a favor de los judíos, otros a favor de los apóstoles.4 Then the multitude of the city was divided. And certainly, some were with the Jews, yet truly others were with the Apostles.
5 Entonces se produjeron conatos de violencia de parte de los gentiles y de los judíos, con sus autoridades, para maltratarlos y apedrearlos;5 Now when an assault had been planned by the Gentiles and the Jews with their leaders, so that they might treat them with contempt and stone them,
6 al darse cuenta de la situación, huyeron a las ciudades de Licaonia, a Listra y Derbe y alrededores,6 they, realizing this, fled together to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the entire surrounding region. And they were evangelizing in that place.
7 donde se pusieron a predicar el Evangelio.7 And a certain man was sitting at Lystra, disabled in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
8 Había en Listra, sentado, un hombre impedido de pies; cojo desde el seno de su madre, nunca había podido andar.8 This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed,
9 Estaba escuchando las palabras de Pablo, y este, fijando en él la vista y viendo que tenía una fe capaz de obtener la salud,9 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright upon your feet!” And he leaped up and walked around.
10 le dijo en voz alta: «Levántate, ponte derecho sobre tus pies». El hombre dio un salto y echó a andar.10 But when the crowds had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods, having taken the likenesses of men, have descended to us!”
11 Al ver lo que Pablo había hecho, el gentío exclamó en la lengua de Licaonia: «Los dioses en figura de hombres han bajado a visitarnos».11 And they called Barnabas, ‘Jupiter,’ yet truly they called Paul, ‘Mercury,’ because he was the lead speaker.
12 A Bernabé lo llamaban Zeus, y a Pablo, Hermes, porque se encargaba de hablar.12 Also, the priest of Jupiter, who was outside the city, in front of the gate, bringing in oxen and garlands, was willing to offer sacrifice with the people.
13 El sacerdote del templo de Zeus que estaba a la entrada de la ciudad trajo a las puertas toros y guirnaldas y, con la gente, quería ofrecerles un sacrificio.13 And as soon as the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, had heard this, tearing their tunics, they leapt into the crowd, crying out
14 Al oírlo los apóstoles Bernabé y Pablo, se rasgaron el manto e irrumpieron por medio del gentío, gritando14 and saying: “Men, why would you do this? We also are mortals, men like yourselves, preaching to you to be converted, from these vain things, to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them.
15 y diciendo: «Hombres, ¿qué hacéis? También nosotros somos humanos de vuestra misma condición; os anunciamos esta Buena Noticia: que dejéis los ídolos vanos y os convirtáis al Dios vivo que hizo el cielo, la tierra y el mar y todo lo que contienen.15 In previous generations, he permitted all nations to walk in their own ways.
16 En las generaciones pasadas, permitió que cada pueblo anduviera por su camino;16 But certainly, he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness.”
17 aunque no ha dejado de dar testimonio de sí mismo con sus beneficios, mandándoos desde el cielo la lluvia y las cosechas a sus tiempos, dándoos comida y alegría en abundancia».17 And by saying these things, they were barely able to restrain the crowds from immolating to them.
18 Con estas palabras, a duras penas disuadieron al gentío de que les ofrecieran un sacrificio.18 Now certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived there. And having persuaded the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking him to be dead.
19 Pero llegaron unos judíos de Antioquía y de Iconio y se ganaron a la gente; apedrearon a Pablo y lo arrastraron fuera de la ciudad, dándole ya por muerto.19 But as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. And the next day, he set out with Barnabas for Derbe.
20 Entonces lo rodearon los discípulos; él se levantó y volvió a la ciudad. Al día siguiente, salió con Bernabé para Derbe.20 And when they had evangelized that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
21 Después de predicar el Evangelio en aquella ciudad y de ganar bastantes discípulos, volvieron a Listra, a Iconio y a Antioquía,21 strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them that they should remain always in the faith, and that it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.
22 animando a los discípulos y exhortándolos a perseverar en la fe, diciéndoles que hay que pasar por muchas tribulaciones para entrar en el reino de Dios.22 And when they had established priests for them in each church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
23 En cada Iglesia designaban presbíteros, oraban, ayunaban y los encomendaban al Señor, en quien habían creído.23 And traveling by way of Pisidia, they arrived in Pamphylia.
24 Atravesaron Pisidia y llegaron a Panfilia.24 And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perga, they went down into Attalia.
25 Y después de predicar la Palabra en Perge, bajaron a Atalía25 And from there, they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had now accomplished.
26 y allí se embarcaron para Antioquía, de donde los habían encomendado a la gracia de Dios para la misión que acababan de cumplir.26 And when they had arrived and had gathered together the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
27 Al llegar, reunieron a la Iglesia, les contaron lo que Dios había hecho por medio de ellos y cómo había abierto a los gentiles la puerta de la fe.27 And they remained for no small amount of time with the disciples.
28 Se quedaron allí bastante tiempo con los discípulos.
