Mateo 14

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En aquel tiempo se enteró el tetrarca Herodes de la fama de Jesús,	1 In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
2 y dijo a sus criados: «Ese es Juan el Bautista; él ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y por eso actúan en él fuerzas milagrosas».	2 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.”
3 Es que Herodes había prendido a Juan, le había encadenado y puesto en la cárcel, por causa de Herodías, la mujer de su hermano Filipo.	3 For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
4 Porque Juan le decía: «No te es lícito tenerla».	4 For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Y aunque quería matarle, temió a la gente, porque le tenían por profeta.	5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
6 Mas llegado el cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio de todos gustando tanto a Herodes,	6 Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.
7 que éste le prometió bajo juramento darle lo que pidiese.	7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
8 Ella, instigada por su madre, «dame aquí, dijo, en una bandeja, la cabeza de Juan el Bautista».	8 But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Entristecióse el rey, pero, a causa del juramento y de los comensales, ordenó que se le diese,	9 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.
10 y envió a decapitar a Juan en la cárcel.	10 And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
11 Su cabeza fue traída en una bandeja y entregada a la muchacha, la cual se la llevó a su madre.	11 And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 Llegando después sus discípulos, recogieron el cadáver y lo sepultaron; y fueron a informar a Jesús.	12 And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.
13 Al oírlo Jesús, se retiró de allí en una barca, aparte, a un lugar solitario. En cuanto lo supieron las gentes, salieron tras él viniendo a pie de las ciudades.	13 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.
14 Al desembarcar, vio mucha gente, sintió compasión de ellos y curó a sus enfermos.	14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.
15 Al atardecer se le acercaron los discíplulos diciendo: «El lugar está deshabitado, y la hora es ya pasada. Despide, pues, a la gente, para que vayan a los pueblos y se compren comida».	15 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.”
16 Mas Jesús les dijo: «No tienen por qué marcharse; dadles vosotros de comer».	16 But Jesus said to them: “They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.”
17 Dícenle ellos: «No tenemos aquí más que cinco panes y dos peces».	17 They answered him, “We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.”
18 El dijo: «Traédmelos acá».	18 He said to them, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Y ordenó a la gente reclinarse sobre la hierba; tomó luego los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, pronunció la bendición y, partiendo los panes, se los dio a los discípulos y los discípulos a la gente.	19 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.
20 Comieron todos y se saciaron, y recogieron de los trozos sobrantes doce canastos llenos.	20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.
21 Y los que habían comido eran unos 5.000 hombres, sin contar mujeres y niños.	21 Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Inmediatamente obligó a los discípulos a subir a la barca y a ir por delante de él a la otra orilla, mientras él despedía a la gente.	22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
23 Después de despedir a la gente, subió al monte a solas para orar; al atardecer estaba solo allí.	23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
24 La barca se hallaba ya distante de la tierra muchos estadios, zarandeada por las olas, pues el viento era contrario.	24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.
25 Y a la cuarta vigilia de la noche vino él hacia ellos, caminando sobre el mar.	25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.
26 Los discípulos, viéndole caminar sobre el mar, se turbaron y decían: «Es un fantasma», y de miedo se pusieron a gritar.	26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.
27 Pero al instante les habló Jesús diciendo: «¡Animo!, que soy yo; no temáis».	27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 Pedro le respondió: «Señor, si eres tú, mándame ir donde ti sobre las aguas».	28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters.”
29 «¡Ven!», le dijo. Bajó Pedro de la barca y se puso a caminar sobre las aguas, yendo hacia Jesús.	29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
30 Pero, viendo la violencia del viento, le entró miedo y, como comenzara a hundirse, gritó: «¡Señor, sálvame!»	30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”
31 Al punto Jesús, tendiendo la mano, le agarró y le dice: «Hombre de poca fe, ¿por qué dudaste?»	31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Subieron a la barca y amainó el viento.	32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Y los que estaban en la barca se postraron ante él diciendo: «Verdaderamente eres Hijo de Dios».	33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
34 Terminada la travesía, llegaron a tierra en Genesaret.	34 And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.
35 Los hombres de aquel lugar, apenas le reconocieron, pregonaron la noticia por toda aquella comarca y le presentaron todos los enfermos.	35 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.
36 Le pedían que tocaran siquiera la orla de su manto; y cuantos la tocaron quedaron salvados.	36 And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
