Lucas 9

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Convocando a los Doce, les dio autoridad y poder sobre todos los demonios, y para curar enfermedades;	1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 y los envió a proclamar el Reino de Dios y a curar.	2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
3 Y les dijo: «No toméis nada para el camino, ni bastón, ni alforja, ni pan, ni plata; ni tengáis dos túnicas cada uno.	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.
4 Cuando entréis en una casa, quedaos en ella hasta que os marchéis de allí.	4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
5 En cuanto a los que no os reciban, saliendo de aquella ciudad, sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies en testimonio contra ellos».	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.”
6 Saliendo, pues, recorrían los pueblos, anunciando la Buena Nueva y curando por todas partes.	6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
7 Se enteró el tetrarca Herodes de todo lo que pasaba, y estaba perplejo; porque unos decían que Juan había resucitado de entre los muertos;	7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
8 otros, que Elías se había aparecido; y otros, que uno de los antiguos profetas había 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.”
9 Herodes dijo: «A Juan, le decapité yo. ¿Quién es, pues, éste de quien oigo tales cosas?» Y buscaba verle.	9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
10 Cuando los apóstoles regresaron, le contaron cuanto habían hecho. Y él, tomándolos consigo, se retiró aparte, hacia una ciudad llamada Bestsaida.	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.
11 Pero las gentes lo supieron, y le siguieron; y él, acogiéndolas, les hablabla acerca del Reino de Dios, y curaba a los que tenían necesidad de ser curados.	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.
12 Pero el día había comenzado a declinar, y acercándose los Doce, le dijeron: «Despide a la gente para que vayan a los pueblos y aldeas del contorno y busquen alojamiento y comida, porque aquí estamos en un lugar deshabitado».	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.”
13 El les dijo: «Dadles vosotros de comer». Pero ellos respondieron: «No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos peces; a no ser que vayamos nosotros a comprar alimentos para toda esta gente».	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.”
14 Pues había como 5.000 hombres. El dijo a sus discípulos: «Haced que se acomoden por grupos de unos cincuenta».	14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
15 Lo hicieron así, e hicieron acomodarse a todos.	15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
16 Tomó entonces los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, pronunció sobre ellos la bendición y los partió, y los iba dando a los discípulos para que los fueran sirviendo a la gente.	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.
17 Comieron todos hasta saciarse. Se recogieron los trozos que les habían sobrado: doce canastos.	17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
18 Y sucedió que mientras él estaba orando a solas, se hallaban con él los discípulos y él les preguntó: «¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?»	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?”
19 Ellos respondieron: «Unos, que Juan el Bautista; otros, que Elías; otros, que un profeta de los antiguos había resucitado».	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.”
20 Les dijo: «Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo?» Pedro le contestó: «El Cristo de Dios».	20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
21 Pero les mandó enérgicamente que no dijeran esto a nadie.	21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
22 Dijo: «El Hijo del hombre debe sufrir mucho, y ser reprobado por los ancianos, los sumos sacerdotes y los escribas, ser matado y resucitar al tercer día».	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.”
23 Decía a todos: «Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día, y sígame.	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.
24 Porque quien quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; pero quien pierda su vida por mí, ése la salvará.	24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
25 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve al hombre haber ganado el mundo entero, si él mismo se pierde o se arruina?	25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
26 Porque quien se avergüence de mí y de mis palabras, de ése se avergonzará el Hijo del hombre, cuando venga en su gloria, en la de su Padre y en la de los santos ángeles.	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.
27 «Pues de verdad os digo que hay algunos, entre los aquí presentes, que no gustarán la muerte hasta que vean el Reino de Dios».	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.”
28 Sucedió que unos ocho días después de estas palabras, tomó consigo a Pedro, Juan y Santiago, y subió al monte a orar.	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.
29 Y sucedió que, mientras oraba, el aspecto de su rostro se mudó, y sus vestidos eran de una blancura fulgurante,	29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30 y he aquí que conversaban con él dos hombres, que eran Moisés y Elías;	30 And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
31 los cuales aparecían en gloria, y hablaban de su partida, que iba a cumplir en Jerusalén.	31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Pedro y sus compañeros estaban cargados de sueño, pero permanecían despiertos, y vieron su gloria y a los dos hombres que estaban con él.	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.
33 Y sucedió que, al separarse ellos de él, dijo Pedro a Jesús: «Maestro, bueno es estarnos aquí. Vamos a hacer tres tiendas, una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías», sin saber lo que decía.	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.
34 Estaba diciendo estas cosas cuando se formó una nube y los cubrió con su sombra; y al entrar en la nube, se llenaron de temor.	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.
35 Y vino una voz desde la nube, que decía: «Este es mi Hijo, mi Elegido; escuchadle».	35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.”
36 Y cuando la voz hubo sonado, se encontró Jesús solo. Ellos callaron y, por aquellos días, no dijeron a nadie nada de lo que habían visto.	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.
37 Sucedió que al día siguiente, cuando bajaron del monte, le salió al encuentro mucha gente.	37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 En esto, un hombre de entre la gente empezó a gritar: «Maestro, te suplico que mires a mi hijo, porque es el único que tengo,	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.
39 y he aquí que un espíritu se apodera de él y de pronto empieza a dar gritos, le hace retorcerse echando espuma, y difícilmente se aparta de él, dejándole quebrantado.	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.
40 He pedido a tus discípulos que lo expulsaran, pero no han podido».	40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
41 Respondió Jesús: «¡Oh generación incrédula y perversa! ¿Hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros y habré de soportaros? ¡Trae acá a tu hijo!»	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.”
42 Cuando se acercaba, el demonio le arrojó por tierra y le agitó violentamente; pero Jesús increpó al espíritu inmundo, curó al niño y lo devolvió a su padre;	42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
43 y todos quedaron atónitos ante la grandeza de Dios. Estando todos maravillados por todas las cosas que hacía, dijo a sus discípulos:	43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
44 «Poned en vuestros oídos estas palabras: el Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres».	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.”
45 Pero ellos no entendían lo que les decía; les estaba velado de modo que no lo comprendían y temían preguntarle acerca de este asunto.	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.
46 Se suscitó una discusión entre ellos sobre quién de ellos sería el mayor.	46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
47 Conociendo Jesús lo que pensaban en su corazón, tomó a un niño, le puso a su lado,	47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
48 y les dijo: «El que reciba a este niño en mi nombre, a mí me recibe; y el que me reciba a mí, recibe a Aquel que me ha enviado; pues el más pequeño de entre vosotros, ése es mayor».	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.”
49 Tomando Juan la palabra, dijo: «Maestro, hemos visto a uno que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre, y tratamos de impedírselo, porque no viene con nosotros».	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.”
50 Pero Jesús le dijo: «No se lo impidáis, pues el que no está contra vosotros, está por vosotros».	50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
51 Sucedió que como se iban cumpliendo los días de su asunción, él se afirmó en su voluntad de ir a Jerusalén,	51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 y envió mensajeros delante de sí, que fueron y entraron en un pueblo de samaritanos para prepararle posada;	52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 pero no le recibieron porque tenía intención de ir a Jerusalén.	53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 Al verlo sus discípulos Santiago y Juan, dijeron: «Señor, ¿quieres que digamos que baje fuego del cielo y los consuma?»	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?”
55 Pero volviéndose, les reprendió;	55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
56 y se fueron a otro pueblo.	56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
57 Mientras iban caminando, uno le dijo: «Te seguiré adondequiera que vayas».	57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”
58 Jesús le dijo: «Las zorras tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo nidos; pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza».	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.”
59 A otro dijo: «Sígueme». El respondió: «Déjame ir primero a enterrar a mi padre».	59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Le respondió: «Deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos; tú vete a anunciar el Reino de Dios».	60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”
61 También otro le dijo: «Te seguiré, Señor; pero déjame antes despedirme de los de mi casa».	61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
62 Le dijo Jesús: «Nadie que pone la mano en el arado y mira hacia atrás es apto para el Reino de Dios».	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.”
