Luke 7
1 And when He completed all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum;
Cuando terminó sus palabras para el pueblo que lo escuchaba, entró en Cafarnaúm.
2 and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
El esclavo de un centurión, a quien éste estimaba mucho, estaba enfermo cerca de la muerte.
3 and having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.
Al oír con respecto a Jesús, le envió unos ancianos de los judíos para rogarle que fuera y sanara a su esclavo.
4 And they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,
Cuando ellos se presentaron ante Jesús, le rogaban con insistencia: Es digno de que se le conceda esto,
5 for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”
porque ama a nuestra nación, y él mismo nos edificó la congregación judía.
6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when He is not far distant from the house the centurion sent to Him friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not be troubled, for I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof;
Jesús iba con ellos. Pero al llegar cerca de la casa, el centurión envió unos amigos para decirle: Señor, no te molestes, porque no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo.
7 for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will be healed;
Por lo cual, ni siquiera me consideré digno de ir a Ti, pero da [la] orden, y mi esclavo sanará.
8 for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Be coming, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does [it].”
Porque aun yo soy hombre que está bajo autoridad. Tengo soldados bajo mi mando y digo a uno: Ve, y va. Y a otro: Ven, y viene. Y a mi esclavo: Haz esto, y [lo] hace.
9 And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so much faith”;
Al oír esto, Jesús lo admiró, y al dar la vuelta, dijo a la gente que lo seguía: ¡Ni aun en Israel hallé una fe tan grande!
10 and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
Cuando los enviados regresaron a la casa, hallaron al esclavo sano.
11 And it came to pass, on the next day, He was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with Him many of His disciples, and a great multitude,
Después fue con sus discípulos y una gran multitud a la ciudad de Naín.
12 and as He came near to the gate of the city, then, behold, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
Cuando llegó cerca de la puerta de la ciudad, ocurrió que llevaban afuera un difunto, hijo único de una viuda. Mucha gente la acompañaba.
13 And the LORD having seen her, was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not be weeping”;
Al verla el Señor se compadeció de ella y le dijo: No llores.
14 and having come near, He touched the bier, and those carrying [it] stood still, and He said, “Young man, to you I say, Arise”;
Se acercó, tocó el féretro, y se detuvieron los que lo llevaban. Y dijo: Joven, te digo: ¡Levántate!
15 and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother;
El muerto [se] levantó y habló. Y [Jesús] lo entregó a su madre.
16 and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and, “God looked on His people.”
Un temor dominó a todos. Glorificaban a Dios y decían: ¡Un gran profeta se levantó entre nosotros! ¡Dios visitó a su pueblo!
17 And the account of this went forth in all Judea about Him, and in all the region around.
Esta declaración con respecto a Él se difundió por toda Judea y la región circundante.
18 And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
Los discípulos de Juan le informaron todas estas cosas.
19 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
Juan llamó a dos de sus discípulos y los envió al Señor para preguntarle: ¿Eres Tú el que vendría o esperamos a otro?
20 And having come near to Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to You, saying, Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
Cuando los hombres se presentaron ante Él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos envió a Ti y preguntó: ¿Eres Tú el que vendría o esperamos a otro?
21 And in that hour He cured many from diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind.
En aquella hora sanó a muchos de enfermedades y dolencias, y de espíritus malignos. A muchos ciegos dio la vista.
22 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone on, report to John what you saw and heard, that blind men see again, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
Él les respondió: Vayan, informen a Juan lo que vieron y oyeron: Ciegos ven, cojos andan, leprosos son limpiados, sordos oyen, muertos son resucitados, se dan las Buenas Noticias a los pobres.
23 and blessed is he whoever may not be stumbled in Me.”
Inmensamente feliz el que no se conturbe por causa de Mí.
24 And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What have you gone forth into the wilderness to look on? A reed shaken by the wind?
Cuando salieron los mensajeros de Juan, preguntó a la multitud con respecto a él: ¿Qué salieron a ver en el lugar despoblado? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento?
25 But what have you gone forth to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they in splendid clothing, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
¿Pero qué salieron a ver? ¿A un hombre vestido con ropas finas? Saben que los que tienen ropa espléndida y viven en deleites están en los palacios reales.
26 But what have you gone forth to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
¿Pero qué salieron a ver? ¿A un profeta? Sí, les digo, y mucho más que un profeta.
27 this is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You;
Éste es [aquél] de quien está escrito: Envío mi mensajero delante de Ti Quien aparejará tu camino.
28 for I say to you, there is not a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Immerser; but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Les digo que entre los nacidos de mujeres, ninguno es mayor que Juan, pero el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es mayor que él.
29 And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been immersed with the immersion of John,
Todo el pueblo y los publicanos que oyeron y fueron bautizados por Juan reconocieron la justicia de Dios.
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers put away the counsel of God for themselves, having not been immersed by him.
Pero los fariseos y los doctores de la Ley rechazaron el plan de Dios para ellos al no ser bautizados por él.
31 And the LORD said, “To what, then, will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y a quién son semejantes?
32 They are like to children, to those sitting in a marketplace, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we mourned to you, and you did not weep!
Son semejantes a los muchachos que se sientan en una plaza y gritan unos a otros: ¡Les tocamos la flauta y ustedes no bailaron, entonamos una lamentación y no lloraron!
33 For John the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon;
Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que no comía pan ni bebía vino, y [ustedes] dijeron: ¡Tiene demonio!
34 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners;
Viene el Hijo del Hombre, Quien come y bebe, y dicen: ¡Ahí está un hombre comilón y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores!
35 and the wisdom was justified from all her children.”
Pero la sabiduría es defendida por todos sus hijos.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee He reclined,
Uno de los fariseos le rogaba que comiera con él. Al entrar en la casa del fariseo, se reclinó.
37 and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that He reclines in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
Ocurrió que una mujer que era pecadora en la ciudad, al saber que estaba reclinado en la casa del fariseo, llevó un alabastro lleno de perfume.
38 and having stood behind, beside His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
[Se] postró detrás y lloraba a sus pies, los regaba con lágrimas, [los] secaba con los cabellos de su cabeza, los besaba y [los] ungía con perfume.
39 And the Pharisee who called Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “This One, if He were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who touches Him, that she is a sinner.”
Cuando el fariseo que lo invitó vio esto, se decía: Éste, si fuera un profeta sabría quién y qué clase de mujer lo toca, porque es una pecadora.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you”; and he says, “Teacher, say on.”
Jesús le dijo: Simón, tengo algo que decirte. Y él respondió: Dí, Maestro.
41 “Two debtors were to a certain creditor; one was owing five hundred denarii, and the other fifty;
Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: Uno [le] debía 500 denarios, y el otro 50.
42 and they not having [with which] to give back, he forgave both; which of them then, do you say, will love him more?”
Como ellos no tenían con qué pagar, perdonó a ambos. Dí, pues, ¿cuál de ellos lo amará más?
43 And Simon answering said, “I suppose that to whom he forgave the more”; and He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
Simón respondió: Pienso que aquél a quien perdonó más. Él le dijo: Juzgaste rectamente.
44 And having turned to the woman, He said to Simon, “See this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but this woman wet My feet with tears, and wiped with the hairs of her head;
Se volvió hacia la mujer y dijo a Simón: ¿Ves a esta mujer? Entré en tu casa. No me diste agua para mis pies, pero ella riega mis pies con sus lágrimas y [los] seca con sus cabellos
45 you did not give a kiss to Me, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing My feet;
No me diste un beso, pero ella, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies.
46 you did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman anointed My feet with oil;
No ungiste mi cabeza con aceite, pero ella ungió mis pies con perfume.
47 therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom is forgiven little, loves little.”
Por lo cual te digo que sus muchos pecados [le] fueron perdonados, porque amó mucho. Pero al que poco se le perdona, poco ama.
48 And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”;
Y a ella [le] dijo: Los pecados te fueron perdonados.
49 and those dining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who also forgives sins?”
Y los que estaban reclinados con Él se dijeron: ¿Quién es Éste para que perdone pecados?
50 And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
Y Él [le] dijo a la mujer: Tu fe te salvó. Vé en paz.
