John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
Así que, entonces tomó Pilato a Jesús, y le azotó.
2 The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Y los soldados entretejieron de espinas una corona, y la pusieron sobre su cabeza, y le vistieron de una ropa de grana;
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
y (venían a él y) decían: ¡Hayas gozo, rey de los Judíos! Y le daban de bofetadas.
4 Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
Entonces Pilato salió otra vez fuera, y les dijo: He aquí, os lo traigo fuera, para que entendáis que ningún crimen hallo en él.
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Así salió Jesús fuera, llevando la corona de espinas y la ropa de grana. Y les dice Pilato: He aquí el hombre.
6 When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
Y como le vieron los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los servidores, dieron voces diciendo: Cuélguenle de un madero, cuélguenle de un madero. Les dice Pilato: Tomadle vosotros, y colgadle del madero; porque yo no hallo en él crimen.
7 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
Le respondieron los judíos: Nosotros tenemos ley, y según nuestra ley debe morir, porque se hizo Hijo de Dios.
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Cuando Pilato oyó esta palabra, tuvo más miedo.
9 So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
Y entró otra vez en el pretorio, y dijo a Jesús: ¿De dónde eres tú? Mas Jesús no le dio respuesta.
10 So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
Entonces le dice Pilato: ¿A mí no me hablas? ¿No sabes que tengo potestad para colgarte de un madero, y que tengo potestad para soltarte?
11 Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
Respondió Jesús: Ninguna potestad tendrías contra mí, si no te fuese dado de arriba; por tanto, el que a ti me ha entregado, mayor pecado tiene.
12 Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
Desde entonces procuraba Pilato soltarle; mas los Judíos daban voces, diciendo: Si a éste sueltas, no eres amigo de César; cualquiera que se hace rey, a César contradice.
13 When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
Entonces Pilato, oyendo este dicho, llevó fuera a Jesús, y se sentó en el tribunal en el lugar que se dice el Enlosado, y en hebreo Gabata.
14 It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
Y era la víspera de la Pascua, y como la hora sexta. Entonces dijo a los Judíos: He aquí vuestro Rey.
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
Pero ellos dieron voces: Quita, quita, cuélguenle de un madero. Les dice Pilato: ¿A vuestro Rey he de colgar de un madero? Respondieron los sumo sacerdotes: No tenemos rey sino a César.
16 Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
Así que entonces lo entregó a ellos para que fuese colgado de un madero. Y tomaron a Jesús, y le llevaron.
17 [As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
Y llevando el madero para sí, vino al lugar que se dice de la Calavera, y en hebreo, Gólgota;
18 There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
donde le colgaron del madero, y con él otros dos, uno en un madero a cada lado, y Jesús en medio.
19 Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
Y escribió también Pilato un título, que puso encima del madero. Y el escrito era: JESÚS NAZARENO, REY DE LOS JUDIOS.
20 Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
Y muchos de los Judíos leyeron este título, porque el lugar donde estaba Jesús colgado del madero era cerca de la ciudad; y era escrito en hebreo, en griego, y en latín.
21 So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
Y decían a Pilato los sumo sacerdotes de los judíos: No escribas, Rey de los Judíos; sino, que él dijo: YO SOY Rey de los Judíos.
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Respondió Pilato: Lo que he escrito, he escrito.
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
Cuando los soldados hubieron colgado a Jesús del madero, tomaron sus vestidos, e hicieron cuatro partes (a cada soldado una parte); y la túnica; mas la túnica era sin costura, toda tejida desde arriba.
24 So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
Y dijeron entre ellos: No la partamos, sino echemos suertes sobre ella, de quién será; para que se cumpliese la Escritura, que dice: Partieron para sí mis vestidos, Y sobre mi vestidura echaron suertes. Y los soldados ciertamente hicieron esto.
25 Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
Y estaban junto al madero de Jesús su madre, y la hermana de su madre, María mujer de Cleofas, y María Magdalena.
26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
Y como vio Jesús a la madre, y al discípulo que él amaba, que estaba presente, dice a su madre: Mujer, he ahí tu hijo.
27 And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
Después dice al discípulo: He ahí tu madre. Y desde aquella hora el discípulo la recibió consigo.
28 Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
Después de esto, sabiendo Jesús que todas las cosas eran ya cumplidas, para que la Escritura se cumpliese, dijo: Sed tengo.
29 There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
Y estaba allí un vaso lleno de vinagre; entonces ellos mojaron una esponja de vinagre, y rodeada a un hisopo, se la llegaron a la boca.
30 When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
Cuando Jesús tomó el vinagre, dijo: Consumado es. Y habiendo inclinado la cabeza, dio el Espíritu.
31 That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
Entonces los Judíos, para que los cuerpos no quedasen en el madero en el sábado, porque era la víspera de la Pascua, pues era el gran día del sábado, rogaron a Pilato que se les quebrasen las piernas, y fuesen quitados.
32 So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
Y vinieron los soldados, y a la verdad quebraron las piernas al primero, y al otro que había sido colgado de un madero con él.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Mas cuando vinieron a Jesús, como le vieron ya muerto, no le quebraron las piernas;
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
pero uno de los soldados le abrió el costado con una lanza, y luego salió sangre y agua.
35 I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
Y el que lo vio, da testimonio, y su testimonio es verdadero; y él sabe que dice verdad, para que vosotros también creáis.
36 These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
Porque estas cosas fueron hechas para que se cumpliese la Escritura: Hueso no quebrantaréis de él.
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Y también otra Escritura dice: Verán a aquel al cual traspasaron.
38 Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
Pasadas estas cosas, José de Arimatea, el cual era discípulo de Jesús, mas en secreto por miedo de los judíos, rogó a Pilato que pudiera quitar el cuerpo de Jesús; lo cual permitió Pilato. Entonces vino, y quitó el cuerpo de Jesús.
39 Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
Entonces vino también Nicodemo, el que antes había venido a Jesús de noche, trayendo un compuesto de mirra y de áloes, como cien libras.
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
Y tomaron el cuerpo de Jesús, y lo envolvieron en lienzos con especias, como es costumbre de los judíos sepultar.
41 Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
Y en aquel lugar donde había sido colgado del madero, había un huerto; y en el huerto un sepulcro nuevo, en el cual aún no había sido puesto ninguno.
42 The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
Allí, pues, por causa de la víspera de la Pascua de los judíos, porque aquel sepulcro estaba cerca, pusieron a Jesús.
