Luke 19
1 Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
Cuando [Jesús] entró en Jericó, iba por la ciudad.
2 There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
Ocurrió que un hombre llamado Zaqueo, quien era rico y jefe de publicanos,
3 He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
procuraba ver quién era Jesús, pero no podía a causa de la multitud porque era pequeño de estatura.
4 So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
Entonces corrió adelante y trepó a un sicómoro para verlo, pues iba a pasar por allí.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
Cuando llegó Jesús al lugar, miró hacia arriba y le dijo: Zaqueo, baja pronto, porque voy a reposar hoy en tu casa.
6 So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
Él [se] apresuró, bajó y con gozo lo recibió.
7 The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
Pero al ver [esto], todos refunfuñaban: Entró a reposar con un pecador.
8 Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: Mira, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy a [los] pobres, y si en algo extorsioné a alguno, [lo] devuelvo cuadruplicado.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
Jesús le dijo: Hoy vino [la] salvación a esta casa, por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.
10 Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
Porque el Hijo del Hombre vino a buscar y a salvar lo que estaba perdido.
11 They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
Por cuanto Él estaba cerca de Jerusalén y porque ellos oían esto y pensaban que el reino de Dios ya iba a manifestarse, prosiguió y presentó una parábola:
12 [So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
Un hombre noble salió hacia un país lejano a recibir un reino para él, y regresar.
13 [Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
Después de llamar a diez de sus esclavos, les dio diez minas y les dijo: Negocien mientras vengo.
14 But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
Pero sus conciudadanos lo aborrecían, y enviaron tras él una delegación para que dijera: No deseamos que éste reine sobre nosotros.
15 But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
Al regresar después de recibir el reino, sucedió que él ordenó llamar a aquellos esclavos a quienes había entregado la plata para saber cuánto ganaron.
16 The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
Entonces llegó el primero y dijo: Señor, tu mina produjo diez minas.
17 He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
Le contestó: ¡Bien hecho, buen esclavo! Por cuanto en lo ínfimo fuiste fiel, ten autoridad sobre diez ciudades.
18 Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
Llegó el segundo y dijo: Señor, tu mina produjo cinco minas.
19 He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
Y dijo a éste: Tú también tendrás autoridad sobre cinco ciudades.
20 Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
El otro llegó y dijo: Señor, aquí está tu mina que tenía guardada en un pañuelo,
21 I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
porque temía, pues eres hombre severo que tomas lo que no pusiste y cosechas lo que no sembraste.
22 The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
Le dijo: Esclavo malo, por lo que dices te juzgo. ¿Sabías que yo soy hombre severo, que tomo lo que no puse y que cosecho lo que no sembré?
23 So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
¿Entonces por qué no depositaste mi dinero en el banco, y al regresar, yo lo hubiera recibido con intereses?
24 Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
A los presentes les dijo: ¡Quiten la mina a éste y denla al que tiene las diez minas!
25 They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
Y le replicaron: Señor, ¡tiene diez minas!
26 [But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
[Contestó]: Les digo que a todo el que tiene se [le] dará, pero [al] que no tiene, aun lo que tiene se [le] quitará.
27 Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
A aquellos enemigos míos que no quisieron que yo reinara sobre ellos, ¡tráiganlos acá y mátenlos delante de mí!
28 After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
Después de decir estas cosas, iba hacia adelante y subía a Jerusalén.
29 When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
Cuando Jesús llegó cerca de Betfagé y Betania, a la Montaña de [Los] Olivos, envió a dos discípulos
30 he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
y les dijo: Vayan a la aldea de enfrente. Al entrar hallarán un pollino atado sobre el cual ninguno montó. Desátenlo y tráiganlo.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Si alguien les pregunta por qué lo desatan, digan que el Señor lo necesita.
32 [So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
Ellos fueron y hallaron como les dijo.
33 As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
Cuando desataban el pollino, los dueños les preguntaron: ¿Por qué lo desatan?
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
Ellos respondieron: El Señor lo necesita.
35 The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
Llevaron el pollino a Jesús, echaron sus ropas sobre él y montaron a Jesús.
36 Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
Mientras Él avanzaba, ellos tendían sus ropas externas en el camino.
37 As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
Cuando Él se acercaba a la ladera de la Montaña de Los Olivos, la multitud de discípulos comenzó a alabar a Dios a gran voz. Se regocijaba por todos los milagros que vieron
38 They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
y decía: ¡Bendito el Rey que viene en [el] Nombre del Señor! ¡Paz en [el] cielo y gloria en [las] alturas!
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
Algunos fariseos le reclamaron: Maestro, reprende a tus discípulos.
40 He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
Él les respondió: Les digo que si éstos callan, las piedras clamarían.
41 When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
Cuando llegó cerca y vio la ciudad, lloró por ella
42 He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
y dijo: ¡Si tú supieras hoy lo que corresponde a [tu] paz! Pero por ahora no puedes verlo.
43 I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
Porque vendrán días cuando tus enemigos levantarán cerco contra ti, te rodearán, te estrecharán por todas partes,
44 They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
te arrasarán con tus hijos dentro de ti y no dejarán en ti piedra sobre piedra, por cuanto no reconociste el tiempo de tu supervisión.
45 [Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
Cuando entró en el Templo, comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían,
46 and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
y les decía: Está escrito: Mi Casa será Casa de conversación con Dios, pero ustedes la convirtieron en cueva de ladrones.
47 Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
Enseñaba cada día en el Templo, pero los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los más prominentes del pueblo procuraban matarlo.
48 But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
No hallaban cómo hacerlo, porque todo el pueblo estaba pendiente de Él, y lo escuchaba.
