Lucas 9
1Habiendo llamado a los Doce, les dio poder y autoridad sobre todos los demonios, y para curar enfermedades. Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.2Y los envió a pregonar el reino de Dios y a sanar a los enfermos. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.3Y les dijo: “No toméis nada para el camino, ni bastón, ni bolsa, ni pan, ni dinero, ni tengáis dos túnicas. And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.4En la casa en que entrareis, quedaos, y de allí partid. And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.5Y dondequiera que no os recibieren, salid de esa ciudad y sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies, en testimonio contra ellos”. And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”6Partieron, pues, y recorrieron las aldeas, predicando el Evangelio y sanando en todas partes. And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.7Oyó Herodes, el tetrarca, todo lo que sucedía, y estaba perplejo, porque unos decían que Juan había resucitado de entre los muertos, Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said8otros que Elías había aparecido, otros que uno de los antiguos profetas había resucitado. by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”9Y decía Herodes: “A Juan, yo lo hice decapitar, ¿quién es, pues, este de quien oigo decir tales maravillas?” Y procuraba verlo. And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.10Vueltos los apóstoles le refirieron (a Jesús) todo lo que habían hecho. Entonces, tomándolos consigo, se retiró a un lugar apartado, de una ciudad llamada Betsaida. And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.11Y habiéndolo sabido las gentes, lo siguieron. Él los recibió, les habló del reino de Dios y curó a cuantos tenían necesidad de ello. But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.12Mas al declinar el día los Doce se acercaron a Él para decirle: “Despide a la multitud, que vayan en busca de albergue y alimento a las aldeas y granjas de los alrededores, porque aquí estamos en despoblado”. Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”13Les dijo: “Dadles vosotros de comer”. Le contestaron: “No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos peces; a menos que vayamos nosotros a comprar qué comer para todo este pueblo”. But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”14Porque eran como unos cinco mil hombres. Dijo entonces a sus discípulos: “Hacedlos recostar por grupos como de a cincuenta”. Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”15Hiciéronlo así y acomodaron a todos. And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.16Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, levantó los ojos al cielo, los bendijo, los partió y los dio a sus discípulos para que los sirviesen a la muchedumbre. Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.17Todos comieron hasta saciarse, y de lo que les sobró se retiraron doce canastos de pedazos. And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.18Un día que estaba orando a solas, hallándose con Él sus discípulos, les hizo esta pregunta: “¿Quién dicen las gentes que soy Yo?” And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”19Le respondieron diciendo: “Juan el Bautista; otros, que Elías; otros, que uno de los antiguos profetas ha resucitado”. But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”20Díjoles: “Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy Yo?” Pedro le respondió y dijo: “El Ungido de Dios”. Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”21Y Él les recomendó con energía no decir esto a nadie, But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,22agregando: “Es necesario que el Hijo del hombre sufra mucho, que sea reprobado por los ancianos, por los sumos sacerdotes y por los escribas, que sea muerto, y que al tercer día sea resucitado”. saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”23Y a todos les decía: “Si alguno quiere venir en pos de Mí, renúnciese a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día, y sígame. Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.24Porque el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; mas el que pierda su vida a causa de Mí, la salvará. For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.25Pues ¿qué provecho tiene el hombre que ha ganado el mundo entero, si a sí mismo se pierde o se daña? For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?26Quien haya, pues, tenido vergüenza de Mí y de mis palabras, el Hijo del hombre tendrá vergüenza de él, cuando venga en su gloria, y en la del Padre y de los santos ángeles. For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.27Os digo, en verdad, algunos de los que están aquí, no gustarán la muerte sin que hayan visto antes el reino de Dios”. And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”28Pasaron como ocho días después de estas palabras, y, tomando a Pedro, Juan y Santiago, subió a la montaña para orar. And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.29Y mientras oraba, la figura de su rostro se hizo otra y su vestido se puso de una claridad deslumbradora. And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.30Y he aquí a dos hombres hablando con Él: eran Moisés y Elías, And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.31los cuales, apareciendo en gloria, hablaban del éxodo suyo que Él iba a verificar en Jerusalén. And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.32Pedro y sus compañeros estaban agobiados de sueño, mas habiéndose despertado, vieron su gloria y a los dos hombres que estaban a su lado. Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.33Y en el momento en que se separaban de Él, dijo Pedro a Jesús: “Maestro, bueno es para nosotros estarnos aquí; hagamos, pues, tres pabellones, uno para Ti, uno para Moisés, y uno para Elías”, sin saber lo que decía. And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.34Mientras él decía esto, se hizo una nube que los envolvió en sombra. Y se asustaron al entrar en la nube. Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.35Y desde la nube una voz se hizo oír: “Este es mi Hijo el Elegido: escuchadle a Él”. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”36Y al hacerse oír la voz, Jesús se encontraba solo. Guardaron, pues, silencio; y a nadie dijeron, por entonces, cosa alguna de lo que habían visto. And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.37Al día siguiente, al bajar de la montaña, una gran multitud de gente iba al encuentro de Él. But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.38Y he ahí que de entre la muchedumbre, un varón gritó diciendo: “Maestro, te ruego pongas tus ojos sobre mi hijo, porque es el único que tengo. And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.39Se apodera de él un espíritu, y al instante se pone a gritar; y lo retuerce en convulsiones hasta hacerle echar espumarajos, y a duras penas se aparta de él, dejándolo muy maltratado. And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.40Rogué a tus discípulos que lo echasen, y ellos no han podido”. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”41Entonces Jesús respondió y dijo: “Oh, generación incrédula y perversa, ¿hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros y tendré que soportaros? Trae aquí a tu hijo”. And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”42Aún no había llegado este a Jesús, cuando el demonio lo zamarreó y lo retorció en convulsiones. Mas Jesús increpó al espíritu impuro y sanó al niño, y lo devolvió a su padre. And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.43Y todos estaban maravillados de la grandeza de Dios. Como se admirasen todos de cuanto Él hacía, dijo a sus discípulos: And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.44“Vosotros, haced que penetren bien en vuestros oídos estas palabras: el Hijo del hombre ha de ser entregado en manos de los hombres”. And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”45Pero ellos no entendían este lenguaje, y les estaba velado para que no lo comprendiesen; y no se atrevieron a interrogarlo al respecto. But they did not understand this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.46Y entró en ellos la idea: ¿Quién de entre ellos sería el mayor? Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.47Viendo Jesús el pensamiento de sus corazones, tomó a un niño, púsolo junto a Sí, But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.48y les dijo: “Quien recibe a este niño en mi nombre, a Mí me recibe; y quien me recibe, recibe al que me envió; porque el que es el más pequeño entre todos vosotros, ese es grande”. And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”49Entonces Juan le respondió diciendo: “Maestro, vimos a un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre, y se lo impedíamos, porque no (te) sigue con nosotros”. And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”50Mas Jesús le dijo: “No impidáis, pues quien no está contra vosotros, por vosotros está”. And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”51Como se acercase el tiempo en que debía ser quitado, tomó resueltamente la dirección de Jerusalén. Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.52Y envió mensajeros delante de sí, los cuales, de camino, entraron en una aldea de samaritanos para prepararle alojamiento. And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.53Mas no lo recibieron, porque iba camino de Jerusalén. And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.54Viendo (esto) los discípulos Santiago y Juan, le dijeron: “Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos que el fuego caiga del cielo, y los consuma?” And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”55Pero Él, habiéndose vuelto a ellos los reprendió. And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?56Y se fueron hacia otra aldea. The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.57Cuando iban caminando, alguien le dijo: “Te seguiré a donde quiera que vayas”. And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”58Jesús le dijo: “Las raposas tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo, nidos; mas el Hijo del Hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza”. Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”59Dijo a otro: “Sígueme”. Este le dijo: “Señor, permíteme ir primero a enterrar a mi padre”. Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”60Respondiole: “Deja a los muertos enterrar a sus muertos; tú, ve a anunciar el reino de Dios”. And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”61Otro más le dijo: “Te seguiré, Señor, pero permíteme primero decir adiós a los de mi casa”. And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”62Jesús le dijo: “Ninguno que pone mano al arado y mira hacia atrás, es apto para el reino de Dios”. Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
