Hechos 21
La Biblia de las Américas
Despedida en Tiro
21 Después de separarnos(A) de ellos, zarpamos y fuimos con rumbo directo(B) a Cos, al día siguiente a Rodas, y de allí a Pátara; 2 y encontrando un barco que partía para Fenicia(C), subimos a bordo y nos hicimos a la vela. 3 Cuando avistamos Chipre(D), dejándola a la izquierda, navegamos hacia Siria(E), y desembarcamos en Tiro(F) porque la nave(G) debía dejar su cargamento allí. 4 Después de hallar a los discípulos(H), nos quedamos allí siete días, y ellos le decían a Pablo, por el Espíritu[a](I), que no fuera a Jerusalén[b]. 5 Y pasados aquellos días[c] partimos y emprendimos nuestro viaje mientras que todos ellos, con sus mujeres e hijos, nos acompañaron(J) hasta las afueras de la ciudad. Después de arrodillarnos y orar(K) en la playa, nos despedimos unos de otros. 6 Entonces subimos al barco y ellos regresaron a sus hogares(L).
Pablo en Cesarea
7 Terminado el viaje desde Tiro(M), llegamos a Tolemaida, y después de saludar a los hermanos(N), nos quedamos con ellos un día. 8 Al día siguiente partimos y llegamos a Cesarea(O), y entrando en la casa de Felipe, el evangelista(P), que era uno de los siete(Q), nos quedamos con él. 9 Este tenía cuatro hijas doncellas que profetizaban(R). 10 Y deteniéndonos allí varios días, descendió de Judea cierto profeta llamado Agabo(S), 11 quien vino[d] a vernos, y tomando el cinto de Pablo(T), se ató las manos y los pies, y dijo: Así dice el Espíritu Santo(U): «Así atarán(V) los judíos en Jerusalén al dueño de este cinto, y lo entregarán en manos de los gentiles(W)». 12 Al escuchar esto, tanto nosotros como los que vivían allí le rogábamos que no subiera a Jerusalén(X). 13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis, llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque listo estoy no solo a ser atado, sino también a morir en Jerusalén por el nombre del Señor Jesús(Y). 14 Como no se dejaba persuadir, nos callamos, diciéndonos: Que se haga la voluntad del Señor(Z).
15 Después de estos días nos preparamos y comenzamos a subir hacia Jerusalén(AA). 16 Y nos acompañaron también algunos de los discípulos(AB) de Cesarea(AC), quienes nos condujeron a Mnasón, de Chipre(AD), un antiguo(AE) discípulo con quien deberíamos hospedarnos.
Pablo en Jerusalén
17 Cuando llegamos a Jerusalén, los hermanos(AF) nos recibieron con regocijo. 18 Y al día siguiente Pablo fue[e] con nosotros a ver a Jacobo[f](AG), y todos los ancianos(AH) estaban presentes. 19 Y después de saludarlos, comenzó a referirles una por una las cosas que Dios había hecho entre los gentiles(AI) mediante su ministerio(AJ). 20 Y ellos, cuando lo oyeron, glorificaban a Dios(AK) y le dijeron: Hermano, ya ves cuántos miles[g] hay entre los judíos que han creído, y todos son celosos de la ley(AL); 21 y se les ha contado acerca de ti, que enseñas a todos los judíos entre los gentiles que se aparten de Moisés(AM), diciéndoles que no circunciden(AN) a sus hijos ni observen[h] las tradiciones(AO). 22 Entonces, ¿qué es lo que se debe hacer? Porque sin duda la multitud se reunirá[i] pues oirán que has venido. 23 Por tanto, haz esto que te decimos: Tenemos cuatro hombres que han hecho un voto[j](AP); 24 tómalos y purifícate junto con ellos(AQ), y paga sus gastos[k] para que se rasuren la cabeza(AR); y todos sabrán que no hay nada cierto en lo que se les ha dicho acerca de ti, sino que tú también vives[l] ordenadamente, acatando la ley. 25 Pero en cuanto a los gentiles que han creído, nosotros les hemos escrito, habiendo decidido que deben abstenerse de lo sacrificado a los ídolos, de sangre, de lo estrangulado y de fornicación(AS). 26 Entonces Pablo tomó consigo a los hombres, y al día siguiente, purificándose[m] junto con ellos(AT), fue al templo, notificando de la terminación de los días de purificación(AU), hasta que el sacrificio se ofreciera por cada uno de ellos.
El tumulto en el templo
27 Cuando estaban para cumplirse los siete días(AV), los judíos(AW) de Asia[n](AX), al verlo en el templo, comenzaron a incitar a todo el pueblo, y le echaron mano, 28 gritando: ¡Israelitas[o], ayudadnos! Este es el hombre que enseña[p] a todos, por todas partes, contra nuestro pueblo, la ley y este lugar(AY); además, incluso ha traído griegos al templo, y ha profanado este lugar santo(AZ). 29 Pues anteriormente habían visto a Trófimo(BA) el efesio(BB) con él en la ciudad, y pensaban que Pablo lo había traído al templo. 30 Se alborotó toda la ciudad, y llegó el pueblo corriendo de todas partes[q]; apoderándose de Pablo lo arrastraron fuera del templo(BC), y al instante cerraron las puertas. 31 Mientras procuraban matarlo, llegó aviso al comandante[r] de la compañía[s] romana(BD) que toda Jerusalén estaba en confusión. 32 Inmediatamente tomó consigo algunos soldados y centuriones, y corrió hacia ellos; cuando vieron al comandante y a los soldados, dejaron de golpear a Pablo(BE). 33 Entonces el comandante llegó y lo prendió, y ordenó que lo ataran(BF) con dos cadenas(BG); y preguntaba quién era y qué había hecho. 34 Pero entre la muchedumbre unos gritaban una cosa y otros otra(BH), y como él no pudo averiguar con certeza los hechos, debido al tumulto, ordenó que lo llevaran al cuartel(BI). 35 Cuando llegó a las gradas(BJ), sucedió que los soldados tuvieron que cargarlo por causa de la violencia de la turba[t]; 36 porque la multitud del pueblo lo seguía, gritando: ¡Muera(BK)!
Defensa de Pablo en Jerusalén
37 Cuando estaban para meter a Pablo en el cuartel(BL), dijo al comandante: ¿Puedo decirte algo? Y él dijo*: ¿Sabes griego? 38 ¿Entonces tú no eres el egipcio que hace tiempo[u] levantó una revuelta, y sacó los cuatro mil hombres(BM) de los asesinos[v] al desierto(BN)? 39 Pablo respondió: Yo soy judío de Tarso(BO) de Cilicia(BP), ciudadano de una ciudad no sin importancia; te suplico que me permitas hablar al pueblo. 40 Cuando el comandante le concedió el permiso, Pablo, de pie sobre las gradas(BQ), hizo señal al pueblo con su mano(BR), y cuando hubo[w] gran silencio, les habló en el idioma hebreo[x](BS), diciendo:

King James Version
21 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
使徒行傳 21
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
保羅上耶路撒冷
21 我們離別了眾人,就開船直航到哥士,第二天到了羅底,又從那裏到帕大喇。 2 我們遇見一隻船要往腓尼基去,就上船起航。 3 我們望見塞浦路斯,就從南邊行過,往敘利亞去,在推羅上岸,因為船要在那裏卸貨。 4 我們在那裏找到了一些門徒,就住了七天。他們藉着聖靈的感動,告訴保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。 5 幾天之後,我們又出發前行。他們眾人同妻子兒女都送我們到城外,我們都跪在灘上禱告,彼此辭別。 6 我們上了船,他們就回家去了。
7 我們從推羅行完航程,來到了多利買,問候那裏的弟兄,和他們同住了一天。 8 第二天,我們離開那裏,來到凱撒利亞,就進了傳福音的腓利家裏,和他同住;他是那七個執事裏的一個。 9 他有四個女兒,都是未出嫁的,都會說預言。 10 我們在那裏多住了好幾天,有一個先知,名叫亞迦布,從猶太下來。 11 他到了我們這裏,就拿保羅的腰帶,捆上自己的手腳,說:「聖靈這樣說:『猶太人在耶路撒冷要如此捆綁這腰帶的主人,把他交在外邦人手裏。』」 12 我們聽見這些話,就跟當地的人苦勸保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。 13 於是保羅回答:「你們為甚麼這樣痛哭,使我心碎呢?我為主耶穌的名,不但被人捆綁,就是死在耶路撒冷也是願意的。」 14 既然保羅不聽勸,我們就住了口,只說:「願主的旨意成就。」
15 過了這幾天,我們收拾行李上耶路撒冷去。 16 有凱撒利亞的幾個門徒和我們同去,帶我們到一個早期的門徒塞浦路斯人拿孫的家裏,請我們與他同住。
保羅訪問雅各
17 我們到了耶路撒冷,弟兄們歡歡喜喜地接待我們。 18 第二天,保羅同我們去見雅各;所有的長老也都在場。 19 保羅向他們問安,然後將 神用他在外邦人中所做的事奉,一一述說了。 20 他們聽見了,就歸榮耀給 神,對保羅說:「弟兄,你看猶太人中有數以萬計的信徒,而他們都是熱心於律法的人。 21 他們曾聽見人說,你教導所有在外邦的猶太人離棄摩西,對他們說,不要給孩子行割禮,也不要遵守規矩。 22 眾人必聽見你來了,這可怎麼辦呢? 23 你就照着我們的話做吧!我們這裏有四個人,都有願在身。 24 你帶他們去,與他們一同行潔淨的禮,替他們繳納規費,讓他們得以剃頭。這樣,眾人就會知道,先前所聽見關於你的事都是假的;而且也知道,你自己為人循規蹈矩,遵行律法。 25 至於信主的外邦人,[a]我們已經根據我們的決議寫信,叫他們要禁戒偶像所玷污的東西、血和勒死的牲畜,禁戒淫亂。」 26 於是保羅帶着那四個人,第二天與他們一同行了潔淨禮,進了聖殿,報告潔淨期滿的日子,等候祭司為他們各人獻上祭物。
保羅在聖殿裏被捕
27 那七日將完,從亞細亞來的猶太人看見保羅在聖殿裏,就煽動所有的羣眾,下手拿住他, 28 喊着:「以色列人哪,來幫忙!這就是在各處教導眾人糟蹋我們百姓、律法和這地方的人。不但如此,他還帶了希臘人進聖殿,污穢了這聖地。」 29 這話是因他們曾看見以弗所人特羅非摩跟保羅一起在城裏,以為保羅帶他進了聖殿。 30 於是全城都騷動,百姓一齊跑來,拿住保羅,拉他出聖殿,殿門立刻都關了。 31 他們正想要殺他,有人報信給營裏的千夫長,說耶路撒冷全城都亂了。 32 千夫長立刻帶着士兵和幾個百夫長,跑下去到他們那裏。他們見了千夫長和士兵,就停下來不打保羅。 33 於是千夫長上前拿住他,吩咐用兩條鐵鏈捆鎖,又問他是甚麼人,做了甚麼事。 34 羣眾中有的喊這個,有的喊那個;因為這樣亂嚷,千夫長無法知道實情,就下令將保羅帶進營樓去。 35 保羅一走上臺階,羣眾擠得兇猛,士兵只得將保羅抬起來。 36 一羣人跟在後面,喊着:「除掉他!」
保羅為自己辯護
37 保羅快要被帶進營樓時,對千夫長說:「我可以對你說句話嗎?」千夫長說:「你懂得希臘話嗎? 38 那你就不是從前作亂、帶領四千兇徒往曠野去的那埃及人了。」 39 保羅說:「我本是猶太人,生在基利家的大數,並不是無名小城的公民。求你准我對百姓說話。」 40 千夫長准了。保羅就站在臺階上,向百姓做了個手勢,要他們靜下來,保羅就用希伯來話對他們說:

New International Version
On to Jerusalem
21 After we(A) had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to Kos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there to Patara. 2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia,(B) went on board and set sail. 3 After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria.(C) We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo. 4 We sought out the disciples(D) there and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit(E) they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 5 When it was time to leave, we left and continued on our way. All of them, including wives and children, accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray.(F) 6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.
7 We continued our voyage from Tyre(G) and landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters(H) and stayed with them for a day. 8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea(I) and stayed at the house of Philip(J) the evangelist,(K) one of the Seven. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.(L)
10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus(M) came down from Judea. 11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says,(N) ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind(O) the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”(P)
12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die(Q) in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”(R) 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up(S) and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”(T)
15 After this, we started on our way up to Jerusalem.(U) 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea(V) accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus(W) and one of the early disciples.
Paul’s Arrival at Jerusalem
17 When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters(X) received us warmly.(Y) 18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James,(Z) and all the elders(AA) were present. 19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles(AB) through his ministry.(AC)
20 When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous(AD) for the law.(AE) 21 They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses,(AF) telling them not to circumcise their children(AG) or live according to our customs.(AH) 22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.(AI) 24 Take these men, join in their purification rites(AJ) and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved.(AK) Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law. 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.”(AL)
26 The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.(AM)
Paul Arrested
27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,(AN) 28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”(AO) 29 (They had previously seen Trophimus(AP) the Ephesian(AQ) in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul,(AR) they dragged him(AS) from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut. 31 While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.(AT)
33 The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound(AU) with two(AV) chains.(AW) Then he asked who he was and what he had done. 34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another,(AX) and since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.(AY) 35 When Paul reached the steps,(AZ) the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. 36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!”(BA)
Paul Speaks to the Crowd(BB)
37 As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks,(BC) he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?”
“Do you speak Greek?” he replied. 38 “Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness(BD) some time ago?”(BE)
39 Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus(BF) in Cilicia,(BG) a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.”
40 After receiving the commander’s permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned(BH) to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic[a]:(BI)
