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 llegaron cerca de Jerusalén por Betfagé y Betania, frente a la Montaña 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].
y les dijo: Vayan a la aldea de en frente, y al entrar, hallarán un pollino atado en el cual nadie ha montado. Desátenlo y tráiganlo.
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].’”
Si alguien les pregunta: ¿Por qué hacen esto? Digan: El Señor lo necesita, y enseguida lo devolverá.
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.
Fueron y hallaron un pollino en la calle atado a una puerta, y lo desataron.
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
Pero algunos de los que estaban allí les preguntaron: ¿Porqué desatan el pollino?
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Ellos contestaron lo que Jesús dijo, y los dejaron.
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 el pollino a Jesús, sobre el cual echaron sus ropas, y Él 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].
Muchos también extendieron sus ropas por el camino, y otros, ramas que cortaron 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].”
Los que iban adelante y los que [lo] seguían aclamaban: ¡Hosanna! ¡Bendito el que viene en 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 el reino de nuestro antepasado David que viene! ¡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].
[Jesús] entró al Santuario en Jerusalén y echó una mirada a su alrededor. Como la hora era avanzada, salió a Betania con los 12.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, [Jesús] 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.
Al ver de lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, se acercó a ver si hallaba algún fruto, pero solo halló hojas porque no era tiempo de 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 Jesús dijo [a la higuera]: ¡De ahora en adelante para siempre, nadie coma fruto de ti! Y sus discípulos escuchaban. (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],
Volvieron a Jerusalén. Entró en el Santuario y echó a los que vendían y compraban allí. Volcó las mesas de los cambistas y los asientos de los que vendían palomas.
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
No permitía que llevaran objetos a través del Templo.
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]”
Les enseñaba: ¿No está escrito: Mi Casa será llamada Casa de conversación con Dios para todas las naciones? Pero ustedes la convirtieron en una 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 oyeron a Jesús, y buscaban la manera de matarlo, pero tenían miedo porque la multitud estaba maravillada de su enseñanza.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Al atardecer salieron 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.
Cuando pasaron por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se secó desde [las] raíces.
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!”
Pedro recordó y le dijo: Maestro, mira, la higuera que maldijiste se secó.
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]!
Jesús respondió: Tengan 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 les digo: Cualquiera que diga a esta montaña: Quítate de ahí y pásate al mar, y no dude en su corazón, sino crea que lo que habla sucede, se le hará.
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 tanto les digo: Hablen con Dios todas las cosas y pidan. Crean que [las] recibieron, y se les harán.
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.”
Cuando perseveren en la conversación con Dios, si tienen algo contra alguien, perdonen, para que también su Padre celestial les perdone sus transgresiones.
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,
Volvieron a Jerusalén. Cuando [Jesús] caminaba en el Santuario se le acercaron los principales 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]?”
Le preguntaron: ¿Con cuál autoridad haces estas cosas? ¿Quién te dio la autoridad 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.
Entonces Jesús les respondió: Les pregunto un asunto. Respóndanme y también les diré con cuál autoridad hago estas cosas:
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? Contéstenme.
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]’
Consultaban entre ellos: Si decimos del cielo, [Él] dirá: ¿Por qué no le creyeron?
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].
Pero, ¿si decimos: De hombres...? Temían a la multitud, porque todos creían que Juan era realmente un 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: No sabemos. Y Jesús les dijo: Tampoco Yo les digo con cuál autoridad hago estas cosas.
