Luke 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.	1 Jesús convocó a los Doce y les dio poder y autoridad para expulsar a toda clase de demonios y para curar las enfermedades.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.	2 Y los envió a proclamar el Reino de Dios y a sanar a los enfermos,
3 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.	3 diciéndoles: «No lleven nada para el camino, ni bastón, ni alforja, ni pan, ni dinero, ni tampoco dos túnicas cada uno.
4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.	4 Permanezcan en la casa donde se alojen, hasta el momento de partir.
5 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.”	5 Si no los reciben, al salir de esas ciudad sacudan hasta el polvo de sus pies, en testimonio contra ellos».
6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.	6 Fueron entonces de pueblo en pueblo, anunciando la Buena Noticia y curando enfermos en todas partes.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said	7 El tetrarca Herodes se enteró de todo lo que pasaba, y estaba muy desconcertado porque algunos decían: «Es Juan, que ha resucitado».
8 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.”	8 Otros decían: «Es Elías, que se ha aparecido», y otros: «Es uno de los antiguos profetas que ha resucitado».
9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.	9 Pero Herodes decía: «A Juan lo hice decapitar. Entonces, ¿quién es este del que oigo decir semejantes cosas?». Y trataba de verlo.
10 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.	10 Al regresar, los Apóstoles contaron a Jesús todo lo que habían hecho. El los llevó consigo, y se retiró a solas con ellos hacia una ciudad llamada Betsaida.
11 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.	11 Pero la multitud se dio cuenta y lo siguió. El los recibió, les habló del Reino de Dios y devolvió la salud a los que tenían necesidad de ser curados.
12 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.”	12 Al caer la tarde, se acercaron los Doce y le dijeron: «Despide a la multitud, para que vayan a los pueblos y caseríos de los alrededores en busca de albergue y alimento, porque estamos en un lugar desierto».
13 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.”	13 El les respondió: «Denles de comer ustedes mismos». Pero ellos dijeron: «No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos pescados, a no ser que vayamos nosotros a comprar alimentos para toda esta gente».
14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”	14 Porque eran alrededor de cinco mil hombres. Entonces Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos: «Háganlos sentar en grupos de cincuenta».
15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.	15 Y ellos hicieron sentar a todos.
16 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.	16 Jesús tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, levantando los ojos al cielo, pronunció sobre ellos la bendición, los partió y los fue entregando a sus discípulos para que se los sirviera a la multitud.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.	17 Todos comieron hasta saciarse y con lo que sobró se llenaron doce canastas.
18 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?”	18 Un día en que Jesús oraba a solas y sus discípulos estaban con él, les preguntó: «¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?».
19 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.”	19 Ellos le respondieron: «Unos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista; otros, Elías; y otros, alguno de los antiguos profetas que ha resucitado».
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”	20 «Pero ustedes, les preguntó, ¿quién dicen que soy yo?». Pedro, tomando la palabra, respondió: «Tú eres el Mesías de Dios».
21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,	21 Y él les ordenó terminantemente que no lo dijeran a nadie.
22 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.”	22 «El hijo del hombre, les dijo, debe sufrir mucho, ser rechazado por los ancianos, los sumos sacerdotes y los escribas, ser condenado a muerte y resucitar al tercer día».
23 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.	23 Después dijo a todos: «El que quiera venir detrás de mí, que renuncie a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz cada día y me siga.
24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.	24 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá y el que pierda su vida por mí, la salvará. ]
25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?	25 ¿De qué le servirá la hombre ganar el mundo entero, si pierde y arruina su vida?
26 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.	26 Porque si alguien se avergüenza de mí y de mis palabras, el Hijo del Hombre se avergonzará de él cuando venga en su gloria y en la gloria del Padre y de los santos ángeles.
27 And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”	27 Les aseguro que algunos de los que están aquí presentes no morirán antes de ver el Reino de Dios».
28 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.	28 Unos ocho días después de decir esto, Jesús tomó a Pedro, Juan y Santiago, y subió a la montaña para orar.
29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.	29 Mientras oraba, su rostro cambió de aspecto y sus vestiduras se volvieron de una blancura deslumbrante.
30 And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.	30 Y dos hombres conversaban con él: eran Moisés y Elías,
31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.	31 que aparecían revestidos de gloria y hablaban de la partida de Jesús, que iba a cumplirse en Jerusalén.
32 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.	32 Pedro y sus compañeros tenían mucho sueño, pero permanecieron despiertos, y vieron la gloria de Jesús y a los dos hombres que estaban con él.
33 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.	33 Mientras estos se alejaban, Pedro dijo a Jesús: «¡Maestro, ¡qué bien estamos aquí! Hagamos tres carpas, una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías». El no sabía lo que decía.
34 Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.	34 Mientras hablaba, una nube los cubrió con su sombra y al entrar en ella, los discípulos se llenaron de temor.
35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.”	35 Desde la nube se oyó entonces una voz que decía: «Este es mi Hijo, el Elegido, escúchenlo».
36 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.	36 Y cuando se oyó la voz, Jesús estaba solo. Los discípulos callaron y durante todo ese tiempo no dijeron a nadie lo que habían visto.
37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.	37 Al día siguiente, cuando bajaron de la montaña, una multitud vino a su encuentro.
38 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.	38 De pronto, un hombre grito: «Maestro, por favor, mira a mi hijo, el único que tengo.
39 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.	39 Cada tanto un espíritu se apodera de él y se pone a gritar; lo sacude con violencia y le hace echar espuma por la boca. A duras penas se aparta de él, dejándolo extenuado.
40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”	40 Les pedí a tus discípulos que lo expulsaran, pero no pudieron».
41 And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”	41 Jesús le respondió: «Generación incrédula y perversa, ¿hasta cuándo estaré con ustedes y tendré que soportarlos? Trae aquí a tu hijo».
42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.	42 El niño se estaba acercando, cuando el demonio lo arrojó al suelo y lo sacudió violentamente. Pero Jesús increpó al espíritu impuro, curó al niño y lo entregó a su padre.
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.	43 Todos estaban maravillados de la grandeza de Dios. Mientras todos se admiraban por las cosas que hacía, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
44 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.”	44 «Escuchen bien esto que les digo: El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres».
45 But they did not understood 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.	45 Pero ellos no entendían estas palabras: su sentido les estaba velado de manera que no podían comprenderlas, y temían interrogar a Jesús acerca de esto.
46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.	46 Entonces se les ocurrió preguntarse quién sería el más grande.
47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.	47 Pero Jesús, conociendo sus pensamientos, tomó a un niño y acercándolo,
48 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.”	48 les dijo: «El que recibe a este niño en mi Nombre, me recibe a mí, y el que me recibe a mí, recibe a aquel que me envió; porque el más pequeño de ustedes, ese es el más grande».
49 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.”	49 Juan, dirigiéndose a Jesús, le dijo: «Maestro, hemos visto a uno que expulsaba demonios en tu Nombre y tratamos de impedírselo, porque no es de los nuestros».
50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”	50 Pero Jesús le dijo: «No se lo impidan, porque el que no está contra ustedes, está con ustedes».
51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.	51 Cuando estaba por cumplirse el tiempo de su elevación al cielo, Jesús se encaminó decididamente hacia Jerusalén
52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.	52 y envió mensajeros delante de él. Ellos partieron y entraron en un pueblo de Samaría para prepararle alojamiento.
53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.	53 Pero no lo recibieron porque se dirigía a Jerusalén.
54 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?”	54 Cuando sus discípulos Santiago y Juan vieron esto, le dijeron: «Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos caer fuego del cielo para consumirlos?».
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?	55 Pero él se dio vuelta y los reprendió.
56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.	56 Y se fueron a otro pueblo.
57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”	57 Mientras iban caminando, alguien le dijo a Jesús: «¡Te seguiré adonde vayas!».
58 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.”	58 Jesús le respondió: «Los zorros tienen sus cuevas y las aves del cielo sus nidos, pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde reclinar la cabeza».
59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”	59 Y dijo a otro: «Sígueme». El respondió: «Permíteme que vaya primero a enterrar a mi padre».
60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”	60 Pero Jesús le respondió: «Deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos; tú ve a anunciar el Reino de Dios».
61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”	61 Otro le dijo: «Te seguiré, Señor, pero permíteme antes despedirme de los míos».
62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”	62 Jesús le respondió: «El que ha puesto la mano en el arado y mira hacia atrás, no sirve para el Reino de Dios».
