Mark 13
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Cuando Él salió del Templo uno de sus discípulos le dijo: Maestro, ¡mira cuán grandes piedras y cuán grandes edificios!
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
Jesús le contestó: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? Que de ningún modo quede aquí piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
Cuando Él estaba sentado en la Montaña de Los Olivos, frente al Santuario, Pedro, Jacobo, Juan y Andrés le preguntaban en privado:
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
Dinos, ¿cuándo sucederá esto? ¿Y cuál será la señal que indica que todas estas cosas se van a cumplir?
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Entonces Jesús les respondió: Cuidado que nadie los engañe.
6 Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
Vendrán muchos en mi Nombre y dirán: Yo soy. Engañarán a muchos.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Cuando oigan de guerras y rumores de guerras, no se turben. Es necesario que sucedan, pero aún no es el fin.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino. Habrá terremotos en diversas regiones. Habrá hambrunas. Estas cosas serán principio de dolores de parto.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
Pero ustedes tengan cuidado. Los entregarán a los tribunales supremos, los azotarán en congregaciones y serán puestos en pie delante de gobernadores y reyes por causa de Mí, para testimonio a ellos.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Primero tienen que proclamarse las Buenas Noticias a todas las naciones.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
Cuando los conduzcan para entregarlos, no se preocupen por lo que deben hablar, sino hablen lo que les sea dado en aquella hora. Porque no son ustedes los que hablan, sino el Espíritu Santo.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
[El] hermano entregará a su hermano a [la] muerte, y [el] padre al hijo, y [los] hijos se rebelarán contra [sus] progenitores y los matarán.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
[Ustedes] serán aborrecidos por todos a causa de mi Nombre, pero el que persevere hasta [el] fin será salvo.
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
Pero cuando vean la [repugnancia] devastadora en pie donde no debe (el que lee, entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan a las montañas.
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
Quien esté en la azotea, no baje ni entre a recoger algo de su casa,
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
y el que esté en el campo, no regrese a tomar su ropa.
17 But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Pero, ¡ay de las que estén embarazadas y de las que amamanten en aquellos días!
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Hablen con Dios para que no sea en invierno.
Porque aquellos días serán una tribulación como no hubo desde [el] principio de [la] creación que Dios hizo, hasta ahora y que de ningún modo haya jamás.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Si el Señor no acortara aquellos días, nadie sería salvo, pero por causa de los escogidos los acortó.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
Entonces, si alguien les dice: ¡Mira, aquí está el Cristo! ¡Mira, está allí! No [lo] crean.
Porque se levantarán falsos cristos y falsos profetas. Mostrarán señales y prodigios a fin de extraviar a los escogidos, si fuera posible.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
Pero ustedes estén alerta. Les predije todas las cosas.
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
Pero en aquellos días, después de aquella tribulación, el sol se oscurecerá, la luna no dará su claridad nocturna,
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las potencias que están en los cielos serán sacudidas.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
En ese tiempo verán al Hijo del Hombre que viene en [las] nubes con gran poder y gloria.
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
Entonces enviará a los ángeles y reunirá a los escogidos de los cuatro puntos cardinales, desde [el] extremo de [la] tierra hasta [el] extremo del cielo.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
De la higuera aprendan la parábola: Cuando ya su rama enternece y brotan sus hojas, saben que el verano está cerca.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
Así también ustedes, cuando vean que suceden estas cosas, sepan que está cerca, a [las] puertas.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
En verdad les digo: Que de ningún modo pase este linaje hasta que se cumplan todas estas cosas.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras de ningún modo pasarán.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
Con respecto a aquel día o la hora, nadie sabe, ni los ángeles en [el] cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
Cuidado, estén alerta, porque no saben cuándo es el tiempo.
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
Sucederá como cuando un hombre viaja y deja su casa. Da a sus esclavos la autoridad, a cada uno su trabajo y ordena al portero que vigile.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
Velen, pues, porque no saben cuándo viene el señor de la casa: si en la tarde, a media noche, al canto del gallo o en la mañana,
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
no sea que, al llegar de repente, los halle dormidos.
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Lo que digo a ustedes, digo a todos: ¡Velen!
