Juan 12

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Seis días antes de la Pascua, Jesús se fue a Betania, donde estaba Lázaro, a quien Jesús había resucitado de entre los muertos.	1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
2 Le dieron allí una cena. Marta servía y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban con él a la mesa.	2 And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.
3 Entonces María, tomando una libra de perfume de nardo puro, muy caro, ungió los pies de Jesús y los secó con sus cabellos. Y la casa se llenó del olor del perfume.	3 And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Dice Judas Iscariote, uno de los discípulos, el que lo había de entregar:	4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
5 «¿Por qué no se ha vendido este perfume por trescientos denarios y se ha dado a los pobres?»	5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
6 Pero no decía esto porque le preocuparan los pobres, sino porque era ladrón, y como tenía la bolsa, se llevaba lo que echaban en ella.	6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
7 Jesús dijo: «Déjala, que lo guarde para el día de mi sepultura.	7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8 Porque pobres siempre tendréis con vosotros; pero a mí no siempre tendréis».	8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
9 Gran número de judíos supieron que Jesús estaba allí y fueron, no sólo por Jesús, sino también por ver a Lázaro, a quien había resucitado de entre los muertos.	9 Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Los sumos sacerdotes decidieron dar muerte también a Lázaro,	10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
11 porque a causa de él muchos judíos se les iban y creían en Jesús.	11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
12 Al día siguiente, al enterarse la numerosa muchedumbre que había llegado para la fiesta, de que Jesús se dirigía a Jerusalén,	12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 tomaron ramas de palmera y salieron a su encuentro gritando: «¡ Hosanna! ¡Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor, y el Rey de Israel!»	13 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”
14 Jesús, habiendo encontrado un borriquillo, se montó en él, según está escrito:	14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
15 No temas, hija de Sión; mira que viene tu Rey montado en un pollino de asna.	15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
16 Esto no lo comprendieron sus discípulos de momento; pero cuando Jesús fue glorificado, cayeron en la cuenta de que esto estaba escrito sobre él, y que era lo que le habían hecho.	16 At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.
17 La gente que estaba con él cuando llamó a Lázaro de la tumba y le resucitó de entre los muertos, daba testimonio.	17 And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
18 Por eso también salió la gente a su encuentro, porque habían oído que él había realizado aquella señal.	18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
19 Entonces los fariseos se dijeron entre sí: «¿Veis cómo no adelantáis nada?, todo el mundo se ha ido tras él».	19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
20 Había algunos griegos de los que subían a adorar en la fiesta.	20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
21 Estos se dirigieron a Felipe, el de Betsaida de Galilea, y le rogaron: «Señor, queremos ver a Jesús».	21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Felipe fue a decírselo a Andrés; Andrés y Felipe fueron a decírselo a Jesús.	22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Jesús les respondió: «Ha llegado la hora de que sea glorificado el Hijo de hombre.	23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
24 En verdad, en verdad os digo: si el grano de trigo no cae en tierra y muere, queda él solo; pero si muere, da mucho fruto.	24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
25 El que ama su vida, la pierde; y el que odia su vida en este mundo, la guardará para una vida eterna.	25 it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit. Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life.
26 Si alguno me sirve, que me siga, y donde yo esté, allí estará también mi servidor. Si alguno me sirve, el Padre le honrará.	26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
27 Ahora mi alma está turbada. Y ¿que voy a decir? ¡Padre, líbrame de esta hora! Pero ¡si he llegado a esta hora para esto!	27 Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
28 Padre, glorifica tu Nombre». Vino entonces una voz del cielo: «Le he glorificado y de nuevo le glorificaré».	28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
29 La gente que estaba allí y lo oyó decía que había sido un trueno. Otros decían: «Le ha hablado un ángel».	29 Therefore, the crowd, which was standing near and had heard it, said that it was like thunder. Others were saying, “An Angel was speaking with him.”
30 Jesús respondió: «No ha venido esta voz por mí, sino por vosotros.	30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Ahora es el juicio de este mundo; ahora el Príncipe de este mundo será echado fuera.	31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Y yo cuando sea levando de la tierra, atraeré a todos hacia mí».	32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
33 Decía esto para significar de qué muerte iba a morir.	33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
34 La gente le respondió: «Nosotros sabemos por la Ley que el Cristo permanece para siempre. ¿Cómo dices tú que es preciso que el Hijo del hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es ese Hijo del hombre?»	34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?”
35 Jesús les dijo: «Todavía, por un poco de tiempo, está la luz entre vosotros. Caminad mientras tenéis la luz, para que no os sorprendan las tinieblas; el que camina en tinieblas, no sabe a dónde va.	35 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he going.
36 Mientras tenéis la luz, creed en la luz, para que seáis hijos de luz». Dicho esto, se marchó Jesús y se ocultó de ellos.	36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
37 Aunque había realizado tan grandes señales delante de ellos, no creían en él;	37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
38 para que se cumpliera el oráculo pronunciado por el profeta Isaías: Señor, ¿quién dio crédito a nuestras palabras? Y el brazo del Señor, ¿a quién se le reveló?	38 so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: “Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 No podían creer, porque también había dicho Isaías:	39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 Ha cegado sus ojos, ha endurecido su corazón; para que no vean con los ojos, ni comprendan con su corazón, ni se conviertan, ni yo los sane.	40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
41 Isaías dijo esto porque vio su gloria y habló de él.	41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
42 Sin embargo, aun entre los magistrados, muchos creyeron en él; pero, por los fariseos, no lo confesaban, para no ser excluidos de la sinagoga,	42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
43 porque prefirieron la gloria de los hombres a la gloria de Dios.	43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Jesús gritó y dijo: «El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en aquel que me ha enviado;	44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
45 y el que me ve a mí, ve a aquel que me ha enviado.	45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
46 Yo, la luz, he venido al mundo para que todo el que crea en mí no siga en las tinieblas.	46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
47 Si alguno oye mis palabras y no las guarda, yo no le juzgo, porque no he venido para juzgar al mundo, sino para salvar al mundo.	47 And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
48 El que me rechaza y no recibe mis palabras, ya tiene quien le juzgue: la Palabra que yo he hablado, ésa le juzgará el último día;	48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
49 porque yo no he hablado por mi cuenta, sino que el Padre que me ha enviado me ha mandado lo que tengo que decir y hablar,	49 For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
50 y yo sé que su mandato es vida eterna. Por eso, lo que yo hablo lo hablo como el Padre me lo ha dicho a mí».	50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.”
