Juan 11
1Había uno que estaba enfermo, Lázaro de Betania, la aldea de María y de Marta su hermana. Now there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha.2María era aquella que ungió con perfumes al Señor y le enjugó los pies con sus cabellos. Su hermano Lázaro estaba, pues, enfermo. And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick.3Las hermanas le enviaron a decir: “Señor, el que Tú amas está enfermo”. Therefore, his sisters sent to him, saying: “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.”4Al oír esto, Jesús dijo: “Esta enfermedad no es mortal, sino para la gloria de Dios, para que el Hijo de Dios sea por ella glorificado”. Then, upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”5Y Jesús amaba a Marta y a su hermana y a Lázaro. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.6Después de haber oído que estaba enfermo se quedó aún dos días allí donde se encontraba. Even so, after he heard that he was sick, he then still remained in the same place for two days.7Solo entonces dijo a sus discípulos: “Volvamos a Judea”. Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”8Sus discípulos le dijeron: “Rabí, hace poco te buscaban los judíos para lapidarte, ¿y Tú vuelves allá?” The disciples said to him: “Rabbi, the Jews are even now seeking to stone you. And would you go there again?”9Jesús repuso: “¿No tiene el día doce horas? Si uno anda de día, no tropieza, porque tiene luz de este mundo. Jesus responded: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.10Pero si anda de noche, tropieza, porque no tiene luz”. But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”11Así habló Él; después les dijo: “Lázaro nuestro amigo, se ha dormido; pero voy a ir a despertarlo”. He said these things, and after this, he said to them: “Lazarus our friend is sleeping. But I am going, so that I may awaken him from sleep.”12Dijéronle los discípulos: “Señor, si duerme, sanará”. And so his disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy.”13Mas Jesús había hablado de su muerte, y ellos creyeron que hablaba del sueño. But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.14Entonces Jesús les dijo claramente: “Lázaro ha muerto. Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died.15Y me alegro de no haber estado allí a causa de vosotros, para que creáis. Pero vayamos a él”. And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”16Entonces Tomás, el llamado Dídimo, dijo a los otros discípulos: “Vayamos también nosotros a morir con Él”. And then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go, too, so that we may die with him.”17Al llegar, oyó Jesús que llevaba ya cuatro días en el sepulcro. And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days.18Betania se encuentra cerca de Jerusalén, a unos quince estadios. (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.)19Muchos judíos habían ido a casa de Marta y María para consolarlas por causa de su hermano. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.20Cuando Marta supo que Jesús llegaba, fue a su encuentro, en tanto que María se quedó en casa. Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.21Marta dijo, pues, a Jesús: “Señor, si hubieses estado aquí, no habría muerto mi hermano. And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.22Pero sé que lo que pidieres a Dios, te lo concederá”. But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”23Díjole Jesús: “Tu hermano resucitará”. Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”24Marta repuso: “Sé que resucitará en la resurrección en el último día”. Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”25Replicole Jesús: “Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; quien cree en Mí, aunque muera, revivirá. Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.26Y todo viviente y creyente en Mí, no morirá jamás. ¿Lo crees tú?” And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?”27Ella le respondió: “Sí, Señor. Yo creo que Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de, Dios, el que viene a este mundo”. She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”28Dicho esto, se fue a llamar a María, su hermana, y le dijo en secreto: “El maestro está ahí y te llama”. And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary quietly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and he is calling you.”29Al oír esto, ella se levantó apresuradamente, y fue a Él. When she heard this, she rose up quickly and went to him.30Jesús no había llegado todavía a la aldea, sino que aún estaba en el lugar donde Marta lo había encontrado. For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.31Los judíos que estaban con María en la casa, consolándola, al verla levantarse tan súbitamente y salir, le siguieron, pensando que iba a la tumba para llorar allí. Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.”32Cuando María llegó al lugar donde estaba Jesús, al verlo se echó a sus pies, y le dijo: “Señor, si Tú hubieras estado aquí, no habría muerto mi hermano”. Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”33y Jesús, viéndola llorar, y llorar también a los judíos que la acompañaban se estremeció en su espíritu, y se turbó a sí mismo. And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled.34Y dijo: “¿Dónde lo habéis puesto?” Le respondieron: “Señor, ven a ver”. And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”35Y Jesús lloró. And Jesus wept.36Los judíos dijeron: “¡Cuánto lo amaba!” Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”37Algunos de entre ellos, sin embargo, dijeron: “El que abrió los ojos del ciego, ¿no podía hacer que este no muriese?” But some of them said, “Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?”38Jesús de nuevo estremeciéndose en su espíritu, llegó a la tumba: era una cueva; y tenía una piedra puesta encima. Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone had been placed over it.39Y dijo Jesús: “Levantad la piedra”. Marta, hermana del difunto, le observó: “Señor, hiede ya, porque es el cuarto día”. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who had died, said to him, “Lord, by now it will smell, for this is the fourth day.”40Repúsole Jesús: “¿No te he dicho que, si creyeres, verás la gloria de Dios?” Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?”41Alzaron, pues, la piedra. Entonces Jesús levantó los ojos a lo alto y dijo: “Padre, te doy gracias por haberme oído. Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.42Bien sabía que siempre me oyes, mas lo dije por causa del pueblo que me rodea, para que crean que eres Tú quien me has enviado”. And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”43Cuando hubo hablado así, clamó a gran voz: “¡Lázaro, ven fuera!” When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”44Y el muerto salió, ligados los brazos y las piernas con vendas, y el rostro envuelto en un sudario. Jesús les dijo: “Desatadlo, y dejadlo ir”. And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, “Release him and let him go.”45Muchos judíos, que habían venido a casa de María, viendo lo que hizo, creyeron en Él. Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.46Algunos de entre ellos, sin embargo, se fueron de allí a encontrar a los fariseos, y les dijeron lo que Jesús había hecho. But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.47Entonces los sumos sacerdotes y los fariseos reunieron un consejo y dijeron: “¿Qué haremos? Porque este hombre hace muchos milagros. And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.48Si le dejamos continuar, todo el mundo va a creer en Él, y los romanos vendrán y destruirán nuestro Lugar (santo) y también nuestro pueblo”. If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.”49Pero uno de ellos, Caifás, que era Sumo Sacerdote en aquel año, les dijo: “Vosotros no entendéis nada, Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: “You do not understand anything.50y no discurrís que os es preferible que un solo hombre muera por todo el pueblo, antes que todo el pueblo perezca”. Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.”51Esto, no lo dijo por sí mismo, sino que, siendo Sumo Sacerdote en aquel año, profetizó que Jesús había de morir por la nación, Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation.52y no por la nación solamente, sino también para congregar en uno a todos los hijos de Dios dispersos. And not only for the nation, but in order to gather together as one the children of God who have been dispersed.53Desde aquel día tomaron la resolución de hacerlo morir. Therefore, from that day, they planned to put him to death.54Por esto Jesús no anduvo más, ostensiblemente, entre los judíos, sino que se fue a la región vecina al desierto, a una ciudad llamada Efraím, y se quedó allí con sus discípulos. And so, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples.55Estaba próxima la Pascua de los judíos, y muchos de aquella región subieron a Jerusalén antes de la Pascua, para purificarse. Now the Passover of the Jews was near. And many from the countryside ascended to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might sanctify themselves.56Y, en el Templo, buscaban a Jesús, y se preguntaban unos a otros: “¿Qué os parece? ¿No vendrá a la fiesta?” Therefore, they were seeking Jesus. And they conferred with one another, while standing in the temple: “What do you think? Will he come to the feast day?”57Entre tanto, los sumos sacerdotes y los fariseos habían impartido órdenes para que quienquiera supiese dónde estaba, lo manifestase, a fin de apoderarse de Él. And the high priests and Pharisees had given an order, so that if anyone would know where he may be, he should reveal it, so that they might apprehend him.
