Mateo 14
1En aquel tiempo, Herodes el tetrarca oyó hablar de Jesús, In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.2y dijo a sus servidores: “Este es Juan el Bautista, que ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y por eso las virtudes operan en él”. And he said to his servants: “This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him.”3Porque Herodes había prendido a Juan, encadenándolo y puesto en prisión, a causa de Herodías, la mujer de su hermano Filipo. For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.4Pues Juan le decía: “No te es permitido tenerla”. For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”5Y quería quitarle la vida, pero temía al pueblo, que lo consideraba como profeta. And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.6Mas en el aniversario del nacimiento de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio de los convidados y agradó a Herodes, Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.7quien le prometió, con juramento, darle lo que pidiese. And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.8Y ella instruida por su madre: “Dame aquí, dijo, sobre un plato, la cabeza de Juan el Bautista”. But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”9A pesar de que se afligió el rey, en atención a su juramento, y a los convidados, ordenó que se le diese. And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.10Envió, pues, a decapitar a Juan en la cárcel. And he sent and beheaded John in prison.11Y la cabeza de este fue traída sobre un plato, y dada a la muchacha, la cual la llevó a su madre. And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.12Sus discípulos vinieron, se llevaron el cuerpo y lo sepultaron; luego fueron a informar a Jesús. And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.13Jesús, habiendo oído esto, se retiró de allí en barca, a un lugar desierto, a solas. Las muchedumbres, al saberlo, fueron a pie, de diversas ciudades, en su busca. When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.14Y cuando desembarcó, vio un gran gentío; y teniendo compasión de ellos, les sanó a los enfermos. And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.15Como venía la tarde, sus discípulos se llegaron a Él diciendo: “Este lugar es desierto, y la hora ya ha pasado. Despide, pues, a la gente, para que vaya a las aldeas a comprarse comida”. And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves.”16Mas Jesús les dijo: “No necesitan irse; dadles vosotros de comer”. But Jesus said to them: “They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.”17Ellos le dijeron: “No tenemos aquí más que cinco panes y dos peces”. They answered him, “We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.”18Díjoles: “Traédmelos aquí”. He said to them, “Bring them here to me.”19Y habiendo mandado que las gentes se acomodasen sobre la hierba, tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, mirando al cielo los bendijo y, habiendo partido los panes, los dio a los discípulos y los discípulos a las gentes. And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.20Y comieron todos y se saciaron y alzaron lo sobrante de los trozos, doce canastos llenos. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.21Y eran los que comieron cinco mil varones, sin contar mujeres y niños. Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.22En seguida obligó a sus discípulos a reembarcarse, precediéndole, a la ribera opuesta, mientras Él despedía a la muchedumbre. And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.23Despedido que hubo a las multitudes, subió a la montaña para orar aparte, y caída ya la tarde, estaba allí solo. And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.24Mas, estando la barca muchos estadios lejos de la orilla, era combatida por las olas, porque el viento era contrario. But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.25Y a la cuarta vigilia de la noche vino a ellos, caminando sobre el mar. Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.26Mas los discípulos viéndolo andar sobre el mar, se turbaron diciendo: Es un fantasma; y en su miedo, se pusieron a gritar. And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.27Pero en seguida les habló Jesús y dijo: “¡Ánimo! soy Yo. No temáis”. And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”28Entonces, respondió Pedro y le dijo: “Señor, si eres Tú, mándame ir a Ti sobre las aguas”. Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you over the waters.”29Él le dijo: “¡Ven!”. Y Pedro saliendo de la barca, y andando sobre las aguas, caminó hacia Jesús. And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.30Pero, viendo la violencia del viento, se amedrentó, y como comenzase a hundirse, gritó: “¡Señor, sálvame!” Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”31Al punto Jesús tendió la mano, y asió de él diciéndole: “Hombre de poca fe, ¿por qué has dudado?” And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”32Y cuando subieron a la barca, el viento se calmó. And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.33Entonces los que estaban en la barca se prosternaron ante Él diciendo: “Tú eres verdaderamente el Hijo de Dios”. Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”34Y habiendo hecho la travesía, llegaron a la tierra de Genesaret. And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.35Los hombres del lugar, apenas lo reconocieron, enviaron mensajes por toda la comarca, y le trajeron todos los enfermos. And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.36Y le suplicaban los dejara tocar tan solamente la franja de su vestido, y todos los que tocaron, quedaron sanos. And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
