Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Después de esto, el Señor designó todavía otros setenta y dos, y los envió de dos en dos delante de Él a toda ciudad o lugar, adonde Él mismo quería ir.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Y les dijo: “La mies es grande, y los obreros son pocos. Rogad, pues, al Dueño de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Id: os envío como corderos entre lobos.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
No llevéis ni bolsa, ni alforja, ni calzado, ni saludéis a nadie por el camino.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
En toda casa donde entréis, decid primero: «Paz a esta casa».
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Y si hay allí un hijo de paz, reposará sobre él la paz vuestra; si no, volverá a vosotros.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Permaneced en la misma casa, comiendo y bebiendo lo que os den, porque el obrero es acreedor a su salario. No paséis de casa en casa.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Y en toda ciudad en donde entréis y os reciban, comed lo que os pusieren delante.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Curad los enfermos que haya en ella, y decidles: «El reino de Dios está llegando a vosotros».
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Y en toda ciudad en donde entrareis y no os quisieren recibir, salid por sus calles, y decid:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
“Aun el polvo que de vuestra ciudad se pegó a nuestros pies, lo sacudimos ( dejándolo ) para vosotros. Pero sabedlo: ¡el reino de Dios ha llegado!”
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Os digo que en aquel día será más tolerable para los de Sodoma que para aquella ciudad.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Betsaida! porque si en Tiro y Sidón hubiesen sido hechos los milagros que se cumplieron entre vosotros, desde hace mucho tiempo se habrían arrepentido en saco y en ceniza.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Mas para Tiro y para Sidón, será más tolerable, en el juicio, que para vosotros.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Y tú, Cafarnaúm, ¿serás acaso exaltada hasta el cielo? ¡Hasta el abismo descenderás! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Quien a vosotros escucha, a Mí me escucha; y quien a vosotros rechaza, a Mí me rechaza; ahora bien, quien me rechaza a Mí, rechaza a Aquel que me envió”.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Entretanto los setenta y dos volvieron y le dijeron llenos de gozo: “Señor, hasta los demonios se nos sujetan en tu nombre”.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Díjoles: “Yo veía a Satanás caer como un relámpago del cielo.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Mirad que os he dado potestad de caminar sobre serpientes y escorpiones y sobre todo poder del enemigo, y nada os dañará.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Sin embargo no habéis de gozaros en esto de que los demonios se os sujetan, sino gozaos de que vuestros nombres están escritos en el cielo”.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
En aquella hora se estremeció de gozo, en el Espíritu Santo, y dijo: “Yo te alabo, oh Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has mantenido estas cosas escondidas a los sabios y a los prudentes, y las has revelado a los pequeños. Sí, Padre, porque así te plugo a Ti.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Por mi Padre, me ha sido dado todo, y nadie sabe quién es el Hijo, sino el Padre, y quién es el Padre, sino el Hijo y aquel a quien el Hijo quisiere revelarlo”.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Y volviéndose hacia sus discípulos en particular, dijo: “¡Felices los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Os aseguro: muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no lo vieron, oír lo que vosotros oís, y no lo oyeron”.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Se levantó entonces un doctor de la Ley y, para enredarlo le dijo: “Maestro, ¿qué he de hacer para lograr la herencia de la vida eterna?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Respondiole: “En la Ley, ¿qué está escrito? ¿Cómo lees?”
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Y él replicó diciendo: “Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma, y con toda tu fuerza y con toda tu mente, y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Díjole ( Jesús ): “Has respondido justamente. Haz esto y vivirás”.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Pero él, queriendo justificarse a sí mismo, dijo a Jesús: “¿Y quién es mi prójimo?”
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Jesús repuso diciendo: “Un hombre, bajando de Jerusalén a Jericó, vino a dar entre salteadores, los cuales, después de haberlo despojado y cubierto de heridas, se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Casualmente, un sacerdote iba bajando por ese camino; lo vio y pasó de largo.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Un levita llegó asimismo delante de ese sitio; lo vio y pasó de largo.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Pero un samaritano, que iba de viaje, llegó a donde estaba, lo vio y se compadeció de él;
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
y acercándose, vendó sus heridas, echando en ellas aceite y vino; luego poniéndolo sobre su propia cabalgadura, lo condujo a una posada y cuidó de él.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Al día siguiente, sacando dos denarios los dio al posadero y le dijo: “Ten cuidado de él, todo lo que gastares de más, yo te lo reembolsaré a mi vuelta”.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
¿Cuál de estos tres te parece haber sido el prójimo de aquel que cayó en manos de los bandoleros?”
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Respondió: “El que se apiadó de él”. Y Jesús le dijo: “Ve, y haz tú lo mismo”.
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Durante su viaje, entró en cierta aldea, y una mujer llamada Marta, lo recibió en su casa.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Tenía esta una hermana llamada María, la cual, sentada a los pies del Señor, escuchaba su palabra.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Pero Marta, que andaba muy afanada en los múltiples quehaceres del servicio, vino a decirle: “Señor, ¿no se te da nada que mi hermana me haya dejado servir sola? Dile, pues, que me ayude”.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
El Señor le respondió: “¡Marta, Marta! tú te afanas y te agitas por muchas cosas.
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Una sola es necesaria. María eligió la buena parte, que no le será quitada”.
