| 1 Cuando terminó de exponer todas sus enseñanzas al pueblo, entró en Cafarnaún. | 1 And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum. |
| 2 Un centurión tenía enfermo, a punto de morir, a un criado a quien estimaba mucho. | 2 And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die. |
| 3 Al oír hablar de Jesús, el centurión le envió unos ancianos de los judíos, rogándole que viniese a curar a su criado. | 3 And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant. |
| 4 Ellos, presentándose a Jesús, le rogaban encarecidamente: «Merece que se lo concedas, | 4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him. |
| 5 porque tiene afecto a nuestra gente y nos ha construido la sinagoga». | 5 For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue. |
| 6 Jesús se puso en camino con ellos. No estaba lejos de la casa, cuando el centurión le envió unos amigos a decirle: «Señor, no te molestes, porque no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo; | 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. |
| 7 por eso tampoco me creí digno de venir a ti personalmente. Dilo de palabra y mi criado quedará sano. | 7 For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. |
| 8 Porque también yo soy un hombre sometido a una autoridad y con soldados a mis órdenes; y le digo a uno: “Ve”, y va; al otro: “Ven”, y viene; y a mi criado: “Haz esto”, y lo hace». | 8 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it. |
| 9 Al oír esto, Jesús se admiró de él y, volviéndose a la gente que lo seguía, dijo: «Os digo que ni en Israel he encontrado tanta fe». | 9 Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel. |
| 10 Y al volver a casa, los enviados encontraron al siervo sano. | 10 And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick. |
| 11 Poco tiempo después iba camino de una ciudad llamada Naín, y caminaban con él sus discípulos y mucho gentío. | 11 And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude. |
| 12 Cuando se acercaba a la puerta de la ciudad, resultó que sacaban a enterrar a un muerto, hijo único de su madre, que era viuda; y un gentío considerable de la ciudad la acompañaba. | 12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her. |
| 13 Al verla el Señor, se compadeció de ella y le dijo: «No llores». | 13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not. |
| 14 Y acercándose al ataúd, lo tocó (los que lo llevaban se pararon) y dijo: «¡Muchacho, a ti te lo digo, levántate!». | 14 And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. |
| 15 El muerto se incorporó y empezó a hablar, y se lo entregó a su madre. | 15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. |
| 16 Todos, sobrecogidos de temor, daban gloria a Dios diciendo: «Un gran Profeta ha surgido entre nosotros», y «Dios ha visitado a su pueblo». | 16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people. |
| 17 Este hecho se divulgó por toda Judea y por toda la comarca circundante. | 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about. |
| 18 Los discípulos de Juan le contaron todo esto. Y Juan, llamando a dos de sus discípulos, | 18 And John's disciples told him of all these things. |
| 19 los envió al Señor diciendo: «¿Eres tú el que ha de venir, o tenemos que esperar a otro?». | 19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another? |
| 20 Los hombres se presentaron ante él y le dijeron: «Juan el Bautista nos ha mandado a ti para decirte: “¿Eres tú el que ha de venir, o tenemos que esperar a otro?”». | 20 And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another? |
| 21 En aquella hora curó a muchos de enfermedades, achaques y malos espíritus, y a muchos ciegos les otorgó la vista. | 21 (And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.) |
| 22 Y respondiendo, les dijo: «Id y anunciad a Juan lo que habéis visto y oído: los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos quedan limpios y los sordos oyen, los muertos resucitan, los pobres son evangelizados. | 22 And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached: |
| 23 Y ¡bienaventurado el que no se escandalice de mí!». | 23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me. |
| 24 Cuando se marcharon los mensajeros de Juan, se puso a hablar a la gente acerca de Juan: «¿Qué salisteis a contemplar en el desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento? | 24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind? |
| 25 Pues ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un hombre vestido con ropas finas? Mirad, los que se visten fastuosamente y viven entre placeres están en los palacios reales. | 25 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings. |
| 26 Entonces, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un profeta? Sí, os digo, y más que profeta. | 26 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. |
| 27 Este es de quien está escrito: “Yo envío mi mensajero delante de ti, el cual preparará tu camino ante ti”. | 27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. |
| 28 Porque os digo, entre los nacidos de mujer no hay nadie mayor que Juan. Aunque el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es mayor que él». | 28 For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he. |
| 29 Al oír a Juan, todo el pueblo, incluso los publicanos, recibiendo el bautismo de Juan, proclamaron que Dios es justo. | 29 And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism. |
| 30 Pero los fariseos y los maestros de la ley, que no habían aceptado su bautismo, frustraron el designio de Dios para con ellos. | 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him. |
| 31 «¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación? ¿A quién son semejantes? | 31 And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? |
| 32 Se asemejan a unos niños, sentados en la plaza, que gritan a otros aquello de: “Hemos tocado la flauta | y no habéis bailado, | hemos entonado lamentaciones, | y no habéis llorado” | 32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept. |
| 33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que ni come pan ni bebe vino, y decís: “Tiene un demonio”; | 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil. |
| 34 vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: “Mirad qué hombre más comilón y borracho, amigo de publicanos y pecadores”. | 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. |
| 35 Sin embargo, todos los hijos de la sabiduría le han dado la razón». | 35 And wisdom is justified by all her children. |
| 36 Un fariseo le rogaba que fuera a comer con él y, entrando en casa del fariseo, se recostó a la mesa. | 36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat. |
| 37 En esto, una mujer que había en la ciudad, una pecadora, al enterarse de que estaba comiendo en casa del fariseo, vino trayendo un frasco de alabastro lleno de perfume y, | 37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment; |
| 38 colocándose detrás junto a sus pies, llorando, se puso a regarle los pies con las lágrimas, se los enjugaba con los cabellos de su cabeza, los cubría de besos y se los ungía con el perfume. | 38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. |
| 39 Al ver esto, el fariseo que lo había invitado se dijo: «Si este fuera profeta, sabría quién y qué clase de mujer es la que lo está tocando, pues es una pecadora». | 39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner. |
| 40 Jesús respondió y le dijo: «Simón, tengo algo que decirte». Él contestó: «Dímelo, Maestro». | 40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it. |
| 41 «Un prestamista tenía dos deudores: uno le debía quinientos denarios y el otro cincuenta. | 41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. |
| 42 Como no tenían con qué pagar, los perdonó a los dos. ¿Cuál de ellos le mostrará más amor?». | 42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most? |
| 43 Respondió Simón y dijo: «Supongo que aquel a quien le perdonó más». Y él le dijo: «Has juzgado rectamente». | 43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly. |
| 44 Y, volviéndose a la mujer, dijo a Simón: «¿Ves a esta mujer? He entrado en tu casa y no me has dado agua para los pies; ella, en cambio, me ha regado los pies con sus lágrimas y me los ha enjugado con sus cabellos. | 44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them. |
| 45 Tú no me diste el beso de paz; ella, en cambio, desde que entré, no ha dejado de besarme los pies. | 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. |
| 46 Tú no me ungiste la cabeza con ungüento; ella, en cambio, me ha ungido los pies con perfume. | 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet. |
| 47 Por eso te digo: sus muchos pecados han quedado perdonados, porque ha amado mucho, pero al que poco se le perdona, ama poco». | 47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less. |
| 48 Y a ella le dijo: «Han quedado perdonados tus pecados». | 48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee. |
| 49 Los demás convidados empezaron a decir entre ellos: «¿Quién es este, que hasta perdona pecados?». | 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also? |
| 50 Pero él dijo a la mujer: «Tu fe te ha salvado, vete en paz». | 50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace. |
