1 Cuando terminó de exponer todas sus enseñanzas al pueblo, entró en Cafarnaún.1 When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Un centurión tenía enfermo, a punto de morir, a un criado a quien estimaba mucho.2 A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him.
3 Al oír hablar de Jesús, el centurión le envió unos ancianos de los judíos, rogándole que viniese a curar a su criado.3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave.
4 Ellos, presentándose a Jesús, le rogaban encarecidamente: «Merece que se lo concedas,4 They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, "He deserves to have you do this for him,
5 porque tiene afecto a nuestra gente y nos ha construido la sinagoga».5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us."
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, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you 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 Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant 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 too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does 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 When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
10 Y al volver a casa, los enviados encontraron al siervo sano.10 When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
11 Poco tiempo después iba camino de una ciudad llamada Naín, y caminaban con él sus discípulos y mucho gentío.11 Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
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 As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.
13 Al verla el Señor, se compadeció de ella y le dijo: «No llores».13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 Y acercándose al ataúd, lo tocó (los que lo llevaban se pararon) y dijo: «¡Muchacho, a ti te lo digo, levántate!».14 He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
15 El muerto se incorporó y empezó a hablar, y se lo entregó a su madre.15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus 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 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."
17 Este hecho se divulgó por toda Judea y por toda la comarca circundante.17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Los discípulos de Juan le contaron todo esto. Y Juan, llamando a dos de sus discípulos,18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. John summoned two of his disciples
19 los envió al Señor diciendo: «¿Eres tú el que ha de venir, o tenemos que esperar a otro?».19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look 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 When the men came to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
21 En aquella hora curó a muchos de enfermedades, achaques y malos espíritus, y a muchos ciegos les otorgó la vista.21 At that time he cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind.
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 he said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
23 Y ¡bienaventurado el que no se escandalice de mí!».23 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at 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 When the messengers of John had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out to the desert to see--a reed swayed by 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 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces.
26 Entonces, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un profeta? Sí, os digo, y más que profeta.26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell 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 the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.'
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 I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least 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 (All the people who listened, including the tax collectors, and who were baptized with the baptism of John, acknowledged the righteousness of God;
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 scholars of the law, who were not baptized by him, rejected the plan of God for themselves.)
31 «¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación? ¿A quién son semejantes?31 "Then to what shall I compare the people of this generation? 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 children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.'
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 food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'
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 came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
35 Sin embargo, todos los hijos de la sabiduría le han dado la razón».35 But wisdom is vindicated 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 A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.
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 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask 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 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, 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 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."
40 Jesús respondió y le dijo: «Simón, tengo algo que decirte». Él contestó: «Dímelo, Maestro».40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said.
41 «Un prestamista tenía dos deudores: uno le debía quinientos denarios y el otro cincuenta.41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty.
42 Como no tenían con qué pagar, los perdonó a los dos. ¿Cuál de ellos le mostrará más amor?».42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?"
43 Respondió Simón y dijo: «Supongo que aquel a quien le perdonó más». Y él le dijo: «Has juzgado rectamente».43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have 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 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 Tú no me diste el beso de paz; ella, en cambio, desde que entré, no ha dejado de besarme los pies.45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
46 Tú no me ungiste la cabeza con ungüento; ella, en cambio, me ha ungido los pies con perfume.46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment.
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 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."
48 Y a ella le dijo: «Han quedado perdonados tus pecados».48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Los demás convidados empezaron a decir entre ellos: «¿Quién es este, que hasta perdona pecados?».49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50 Pero él dijo a la mujer: «Tu fe te ha salvado, vete en paz».50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
