Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Cuando estuvieron próximos a Jerusalén, cerca de Betfagé y Betania, junto al Monte de los Olivos, envió a dos de sus discípulos,
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
diciéndoles: “Id a la aldea que está enfrente de vosotros; y luego de entrar en ella, encontraréis un burrito atado, sobre el cual nadie ha montado todavía. Desatadlo y traedlo.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
Y si alguien os pregunta: “¿Por qué hacéis esto?”, contestad: “El Señor lo necesita, y al instante lo devolverá aquí”.
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
Partieron, pues, y encontraron un burrito atado a una puerta, por de fuera, en la calle, y lo desataron.
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
Algunas personas que se encontraban allí, les dijeron: “¿Qué hacéis, desatando el burrito?”
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Ellos les respondieron como Jesús les había dicho, y los dejaron hacer.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Llevaron, pues, el burrito a Jesús y pusieron encima sus mantos, y Él lo montó.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Y muchos extendieron sus mantos sobre el camino; otros, brazadas de follaje que habían cortado de los campos.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Y los que marchaban delante y los que seguían, clamaban: “¡Hosanna! ¡Bendito sea el que viene en el nombre del Señor!
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
¡Bendito sea el advenimiento del reino de nuestro padre David! ¡Hosanna en las alturas!”
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
Y entró en Jerusalén en el Templo, y después de mirarlo todo, siendo ya tarde, partió de nuevo para Betania con los Doce.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, tuvo hambre.
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Y divisando, a la distancia, una higuera que tenía hojas, fue para ver si encontraba algo en ella; pero llegado allí, no encontró más que hojas, porque no era el tiempo de los higos.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Entonces, respondió y dijo a la higuera: “¡Que jamás ya nadie coma fruto de ti!” Y sus discípulos lo oyeron. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Llegado a Jerusalén, entró en el Templo, y se puso a expulsar a los que vendían y a los que compraban en el Templo, y volcó las mesas de los cambistas y las sillas de los que vendían las palomas;
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
y no permitía que nadie atravesase el Templo transportando objetos.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Y les enseñó diciendo: “¿No está escrito: «Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones»? Pero vosotros, la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones”.
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Los sumos sacerdotes y los escribas lo oyeron y buscaban cómo hacerlo perecer; pero le tenían miedo, porque todo el pueblo estaba poseído de admiración por su doctrina.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Y llegada la tarde, salieron ( Jesús y sus discípulos ) de la ciudad.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
Al pasar ( al día siguiente ) muy de mañana, vieron la higuera que se había secado de raíz.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
Entonces, Pedro se acordó y dijo: “¡Rabí, mira! La higuera que maldijiste se ha secado”.
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
Y Jesús les respondió y dijo: “¡Tened fe en Dios!
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
En verdad, os digo, quien dijere a este monte: “Quítate de ahí y échate al mar”, sin titubear interiormente, sino creyendo que lo que dice se hará, lo obtendrá.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
Por eso, os digo, todo lo que pidiereis orando, creed que lo obtuvisteis ya, y se os dará.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Y cuando os ponéis de pie para orar, perdonad lo que podáis tener contra alguien, a fin de que también vuestro Padre celestial os perdone vuestros pecados.
[Si no perdonáis, vuestro Padre que está en los cielos no os perdonará tampoco vuestros pecados]”.
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Fueron de nuevo a Jerusalén. Y como Él se pasease por el Templo, se le llegaron los jefes de los sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos,
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
y le dijeron: “¿Con qué poder haces estas cosas, y quién te ha dado ese poder para hacerlas?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Jesús les contestó: “Os haré Yo también una pregunta. Respondedme, y os diré con qué derecho obro así:
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres? Respondedme”.
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Mas ellos discurrieron así en sí mismos: “Si decimos «del cielo», dirá: «entonces ¿por qué no le creísteis?»”
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
Y ¿si decimos: “de los hombres”? pero temían al pueblo, porque todos tenían a Juan por un verdadero profeta.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Respondieron, pues, a Jesús. “No sabemos”. Entonces, Jesús les dijo: “Y bien, ni Yo tampoco os digo con qué poder hago esto”.
