Mateo 9

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Subiendo a la barca, pasó a la otra orilla y vino a su ciudad.	1 And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.
2 En esto le trajeron un paralítico postrado en una camilla. Viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: «¡ Animo!, hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados».	2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Be strengthened in faith, son; your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Pero he aquí que algunos escribas dijeron para sí: «Este está blasfemando».	3 And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, “He is blaspheming.”
4 Jesús, conociendo sus pensamientos, dijo: «¿Por qué pensáis mal en vuestros corazones? ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: “Tus pecados te son perdonados”, o decir:	4 And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, he said: “Why do you think such evil in your hearts?
5 “Levántate y anda”?	5 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’
6 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene en la tierra poder de perdonar pecados - dice entonces al paralítico -: “Levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa”».	6 But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralytic, “Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”
7 El se levantó y se fue a su casa.	7 And he arose and went into his house.
8 Y al ver esto, la gente temió y glorificó a Dios, que había dado tal poder a los hombres.	8 Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.
9 Cuando se iba de allí, al pasar vio Jesús a un hombre llamado Mateo, sentado en el despacho de impuestos, y le dice: «Sígueme». El se levantó y le siguió.	9 And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.
10 Y sucedió que estando él a la mesa en casa de Mateo, vinieron muchos publicanos y pecadores, y estaban a la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos.	10 And it happened that, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Al verlo los fariseos decían a los discípulos: «¿Por qué come vuestro maestro con los publicanos y pecadores?»	11 And the Pharisees, seeing this, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Mas él, al oírlo, dijo: «No necesitan médico los que están fuertes sino los que están mal.	12 But Jesus, hearing this, said: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.
13 Id, pues, a aprender qué significa aquello de: Misericordia quiero, que no sacrificio. Porque no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores».	13 So then, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”
14 Entonces se le acercan los discípulos de Juan y le dicen: «¿Por qué nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos, y tus discípulos no ayunan?»	14 Then the disciples of John drew near to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesús les dijo: «Pueden acaso los invitados a la boda ponerse tristes mientras el novio está con ellos? Días vendrán en que les será arrebatado el novio; entonces ayunarán.	15 And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the groom mourn, while the groom is still with them? But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them. And then they shall fast.
16 Nadie echa un remiendo de paño sin tundir en un vestido viejo, porque lo añadido tira del vestido, y se produce un desgarrón peor.	16 For no one would sew a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. For it pulls its fullness away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17 Ni tampoco se echa vino nuevo en pellejos viejos; pues de otro modo, los pellejos revientan, el vino se derrama, y los pellejos se echan a perder; sino que el vino nuevo se echa en pellejos nuevos, y así ambos se conservan».	17 Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved.”
18 Así les estaba hablando, cuando se acercó un magistrado y se postró ante él diciendo: «Mi hija acaba de morir, pero ven, impón tu mano sobre ella y vivirá».	18 As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: “Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live.”
19 Jesús se levantó y le siguió junto con sus discípulos.	19 And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20 En esto, una mujer que padecía flujo de sangre desde hacía doce años se acercó por detrás y tocó la orla de su manto.	20 And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21 Pues se decía para sí: «Con sólo tocar su manto, me salvaré».	21 For she said within herself, “If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved.”
22 Jesús se volvió, y al verla le dijo: «¡Animo!, hija, tu fe te ha salvado». Y se salvó la mujer desde aquel momento.	22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: “Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Al llegar Jesús a casa del magistrado y ver a los flautistas y la gente alborotando,	23 And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24 decía: «¡Retiraos! La muchacha no ha muerto; está dormida». Y se burlaban de él.	24 he said, “Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they derided him.
25 Mas, echada fuera la gente, entró él, la tomó de la mano, y la muchacha se levantó.	25 And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26 Y la noticia del suceso se divulgó por toda aquella comarca.	26 And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27 Cuando Jesús se iba de allí, al pasar le siguieron dos ciegos gritando: «¡Ten piedad de nosotros, Hijo de David!»	27 And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”
28 Y al llegar a casa, se le acercaron los ciegos, y Jesús les dice: «¿Creéis que puedo hacer eso?» Dícenle: «Sí, Señor».	28 And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?” They say to him, “Certainly, Lord.”
29 Entonces les tocó los ojos diciendo: «Hágase en vosotros según vuestra fe».	29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, so let it be done for you.”
30 Y se abrieron sus ojos. Jesús les ordenó severamente: «¡Mirad que nadie lo sepa!»	30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, “See to it that no one knows of this.”
31 Pero ellos, en cuanto salieron, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella comarca.	31 But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.
32 Salían ellos todavía, cuando le presentaron un mudo endemoniado.	32 Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.
33 Y expulsado el demonio, rompió a hablar el mudo. Y la gente, admirada, decía: «Jamás se vio cosa igual en Israel».	33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.”
34 Pero los fariseos decían: «Por el Príncipe de los demonios expulsa a los demonios».	34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
35 Jesús recorría todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en sus sinagogas, proclamando la Buena Nueva del Reino y sanando todo enfermedad y toda dolencia.	35 And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
36 Y al ver a la muchedumbre, sintió compasión de ella, porque estaban vejados y abatidos como ovejas que no tienen pastor.	36 Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Entonces dice a sus discípulos: «La mies es mucha y los obreros pocos.	37 Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
38 Rogad, pues, al Dueño de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies».	38 Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”
