Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
Entró de nuevo en la sinagoga, y había allí un hombre que tenía seca la mano.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Y lo observaban, para ver si lo curaría en día de sábado, a fin de poder acusarlo.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
Entonces dijo al hombre que tenía la mano seca: “Ponte de pie en medio”.
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
Después les dijo: “¿Es lícito, en día de sábado, hacer bien o hacer mal, salvar una vida o matar?” Pero ellos callaban.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
Mas Él mirándolos en derredor con ira, contristado por el endurecimiento de sus corazones, dijo al hombre: “Alarga la mano”. Y la alargó, y la mano quedó sana.
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
Y salieron los fariseos en seguida y deliberaron con los herodianos sobre cómo hacerlo morir.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
Jesús Se retiró con sus discípulos hacia el mar, y mucha gente de Galilea lo fue siguiendo. Y vino también a Él de Judea,
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
de Jerusalén, de Idumea, de Transjordania y de la región de Tiro y de Sidón, una gran multitud que había oído lo que Él hacía.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
Y recomendó a sus discípulos que le tuviesen pronta una barca, a causa del gentío, para que no lo atropellasen.
Porque había sanado a muchos, de suerte que todos cuantos tenían dolencias se precipitaron sobre El para tocarlo.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
Y los espíritus inmundos, al verlo, se prosternaban delante de Él y gritaban: “Tú eres el Hijo de Dios”.
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
Pero Él les mandaba rigurosamente que no lo diesen a conocer.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
Y subió a la montaña, y llamó a los que Él quiso, y vinieron a Él.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
Y constituyó a doce para que fuesen sus compañeros y para enviarlos a predicar,
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
y para que tuvieran poder de expulsar los demonios.
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
Designó, pues, a los Doce; y puso a Simón el nombre de Pedro;
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
a Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y a Juan, hermano de Santiago —a los que puso el nombre de Boanerges, es decir, hijos del trueno—,
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
a Andrés, a Felipe, a Bartolomé, a Mateo, a Tomás, a Santiago hijo de Alfeo, a Tadeo, a Simón el Cananeo,
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
y a Judas Iscariote, el que lo entregó.
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
Volvió a casa, y la muchedumbre se juntó nuevamente allí, de suerte que ni siquiera podían comer pan.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
Al oírlo los suyos, salieron para apoderarse de Él, porque decían: “Ha perdido el juicio”.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
Pero los escribas, venidos de Jerusalén, decían: “Tiene a Beelzebul y por el jefe de los demonios expulsa a los demonios”.
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
Mas Él los llamó y les dijo en parábolas: “Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
Y si dentro de un reino hay divisiones, ese reino no puede sostenerse.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
Y si hay divisiones dentro de una casa, esa casa no podrá subsistir.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
Si, pues, Satanás se levanta contra sí mismo y se divide, no puede subsistir, y llegó su fin.
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
Porque nadie puede entrar en la casa del hombre fuerte y quitarle sus bienes, si primero no ata al fuerte; y solo entonces sí saqueará su casa.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
En verdad, os digo, todos los pecados serán perdonados a los hombres, y cuantas blasfemias dijeren;
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
Porque decían: “Tiene espíritu inmundo”.
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
Llegaron su madre y sus hermanos, y quedándose de pie afuera, le enviaron recado, llamándolo.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
Estaba sentada la gente alrededor de Él y le dijeron: “Tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera buscándote”.
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
Mas Él les respondió y dijo: “¿Quién es mi madre y quiénes son mis hermanos?”
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
Y dando una mirada en torno sobre los que estaban sentados a su alrededor, dijo: “He aquí mi madre y mis hermanos.
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
Porque quien hiciere la voluntad de Dios, ese es mi hermano, hermana y madre”.
