Marcos 2

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Unos días después, Jesús volvió a Cafarnaúm y se difundió la noticia de que estaba en la casa.	1 And after some days, he again entered into Capernaum.
2 Se reunió tanta gente, que no había más lugar ni siguiera delante de la puerta, y él les anunciaba la Palabra.	2 And it was heard that he was in the house. And so many gathered that there was no room left, not even at the door. And he spoke the word to them.
3 Le trajeron entonces a un paralítico, llevándolo entre cuatro hombres.	3 And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was being carried by four men.
4 Y como no podían acercarlo a él, a causa de la multitud, levantaron el techo sobre el lugar donde Jesús estaba, y haciendo un agujero descolgaron la camilla con el paralítico.	4 And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Al ver la fe de esos hombres, Jesús dijo al paralítico: «Hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados».	5 Then, when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 Unos escribas que estaban sentados allí pensaban en su interior:	6 But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts:
7 «¿Qué está diciendo este hombre? ¡Está blasfemando! ¿Quién puede perdonar los pecados, sino sólo Dios?	7 “Why is this man speaking in this way? He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
8 Jesús, advirtiendo en seguida que pensaban así, les dijo: «¿Qué están pensando?	8 At once, Jesus, realizing in his spirit that they were thinking this within themselves, said to them: “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
9 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir al paralítico: "Tus pecados te son perdonados", o "Levántate, toma tu camilla y camina"?	9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up, take up your stretcher, and walk?’
10 Para que ustedes sepan que el Hijo de hombre tiene sobre la tierra el poder de perdonar los pecados	10 But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic:
11 –dijo al paralítico– yo te lo mando, levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa».	11 “I say to you: Rise up, take up your stretcher, and go into your house.”
12 El se levantó en seguida, tomó su camilla y salió a la vista de todos. La gente quedó asombrada y glorificaba a Dios, diciendo: «Nunca hemos visto nada igual».	12 And immediately he got up, and lifting up his stretcher, he went away in the sight of them all, so that they all wondered. And they honored God, by saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
13 Jesús salió nuevamente a la orilla del mar; toda la gente acudía allí, y él les enseñaba.	13 And he departed again to the sea. And the entire crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14 Al pasar vio a Leví, hijo de Alfeo, sentado a la mesa de recaudación de impuestos, y le dijo: «Sígueme». El se levantó y lo siguió.	14 And as he was passing by, he saw Levi of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs office. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.
15 Mientras Jesús estaba comiendo en su casa, muchos publicanos y pecadores se sentaron a comer con él y sus discípulos;	15 And it happened that, as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat at table together with Jesus and his disciples. For those who followed him were many.
16 Los escribas del grupo de los fariseos, al ver que comía con pecadores y publicanos, decían a los discípulos: «¿Por qué come con publicanos y pecadores?».	16 And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Jesús, que había oído, les dijo: «No son los sanos los que tienen necesidad del médico, sino los enfermos. Yo no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores».	17 Jesus, having heard this, said to them: “The healthy have no need of a doctor, but those who have maladies do. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.”
18 Un día en que los discípulos de Juan y los fariseos, fueron a decirle a Jesús: «¿Por qué tus discípulos no ayunan, como lo hacen los discípulos de Juan y los discípulos de los fariseos?».	18 And the disciples of John, and the Pharisees, were fasting. And they arrived and said to him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
19 Jesús les respondió: «¿Acaso los amigos del esposo pueden ayunar cuando el esposo está con ellos? Es natural que no ayunen, mientras tienen consigo al esposo.	19 And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the wedding fast while the groom is still with them? During whatever time they have the groom with them, they are not able to fast.
20 Llegará el momento en que el esposo les será quitado, y entonces ayunarán.	20 But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they shall fast, in those days.
21 Nadie usa un pedazo de género nuevo para remendar un vestido viejo, porque el pedazo añadido tira del vestido viejo y la rotura se hace más grande.	21 No one sews a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. Otherwise, the new addition pulls away from the old, and the tear becomes worse.
22 Tampoco se pone vino nuevo en odres viejos, porque hará reventar los odres, y ya no servirán más ni el vino ni los odres. ¡A vino nuevo, odres nuevos!».	22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine will pour out, and the wineskins will be lost. Instead, new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
23 Un sábado en que Jesús atravesaba unos sembrados, sus discípulos comenzaron a arrancar espigas al pasar.	23 And again, while the Lord was walking through the ripe grain on the Sabbath, his disciples, as they advanced, began to separate the ears of grains.
24 Entonces los fariseos le dijeron: «¡Mira! ¿Por qué hacen en sábado lo que no está permitido?».	24 But the Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
25 El les respondió: «¿Ustedes no han leído nunca lo que hizo David, cuando él y sus compañeros se vieron obligados por el hambre,	25 And he said to them: “Have you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, both he and those who were with him?
26 cómo entró en la Casa de Dios, en el tiempo del Sumo Sacerdote Abiatar, y comió y dio a sus compañeros los panes de la ofrenda, que sólo pueden comer los sacerdotes?».	26 How he went into the house of God, under the high priest Abiathar, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and how he gave it to those who were with him?”
27 Y agregó: «El sábado ha sido hecho para el hombre, y no el hombre para el sábado.	27 And he said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28 De manera que el Hijo del hombre es dueño también del sábado».	28 And so, the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
