New International Version NIV
1 EN aquellos días, creciendo el número de los discípulos, hubo murmuración de los Griegos contra los Hebreos, de que sus viudas eran menospreciadas en el ministerio cotidiano.
1
In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
2 Así que, los doce convocaron la multitud de los discípulos, y dijeron: No es justo que nosotros dejemos la palabra de Dios, y sirvamos á las mesas.
2
So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.
3 Buscad pues, hermanos, siete varones de vosotros de buen testimonio, llenos de Espíritu Santo y de sabiduría, los cuales pongamos en esta obra.
3
Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them
4 Y nosotros persistiremos en la oración, y en el ministerio de la palabra.
4
and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
5 Y plugo el parecer á toda la multitud; y eligieron á Esteban, varón lleno de fe y de Espíritu Santo, y á Felipe, y á Prócoro, y á Nicanor, y á Timón, y á Parmenas, y á Nicolás, prosélito de Antioquía:
5
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
6 A estos presentaron delante de los apóstoles, los cuales orando les pusieron las manos encima.
6
They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
7 Y crecía la palabra del Señor, y el número de los discípulos se multiplicaba mucho en Jerusalem: también una gran multitud de los sacerdotes obedecía á la fe.
7
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
8 Empero Esteban, lleno de gracia y de potencia, hacía prodigios y milagros grandes en el pueblo.
8
Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
9 Levantáronse entonces unos de la sinagoga que se llama de los Libertinos, y Cireneos, y Alejandrinos, y de los de Cilicia, y de Asia, disputando con Esteban.
9
Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen.
10 Mas no podían resistir á la sabiduría y al Espíritu con que hablaba.
10
But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.
11 Entonces sobornaron á unos que dijesen que le habían oído hablar palabras blasfemas contra Moisés y Dios.
11
Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”
12 Y conmovieron al pueblo, y á los ancianos, y á los escribas; y arremetiendo le arrebataron, y le trajeron al concilio.
12
So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
13 Y pusieron testigos falsos, que dijesen: Este hombre no cesa de hablar palabras blasfemas contra este lugar santo y la ley:
13
They produced false witnesses, who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
14 Porque le hemos oído decir, que Jesús de Nazaret destruirá este lugar, y mudará las ordenanzas que nos dió Moisés.
14
For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”
15 Entonces todos los que estaban sentados en el concilio, puestos los ojos en él, vieron su rostro como el rostro de un ángel.
15
All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
