Mark 8
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
EN aquellos dias, como hubo gran gentío, y no tenian que comer, Jesus llamó sus discípulos, y les dijo:
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
Tengo compasion de la multitud porque ya hace tres dias que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer:
3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
Y si los enviare en ayunas á sus casas, desmayarán en el camino; porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.
4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
Y sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿De dónde podrá alguien hartar á estos de pan aquí en el desierto?
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
Y les preguntó: ¿Cuántos panes teneis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
Entónces mandó á la multitud que se recostase en tierra; y tomando los siete panes, habiendo dado gracias, partió, y dió á sus discípulos que [los] pusiesen delante: y [los] pusieron delante á la multitud.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
Tenian tambien unos pocos pececillos; y los bendijo, y mandó que tambien los pusiesen delante.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
Y comieron, y se hartaron, y levantaron de los pedazos que habian sobrado, siete espuertas.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
Y eran los que comieron, como cuatro mil: y los despidió.
10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
Y luego entrando en el barco con sus discípulos, vino á las partes de Dalmanuta.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
Y vinieron los Fariséos, y comenzaron á altercar con él pidiendole señal del cielo, tentándole.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
Y gimiendo en su espíritu dice: ¿Por qué pide señal esta generacion? De cierto os digo que no se dará señal á esta generacion.
13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
Y dejándoles volvió á entrar en el barco, y se fué de la otra parte.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Y se habían olvidado de tomar pan, y no tenian sino un pan consigo en el barco.
15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
Y les mandó diciendo: Mirad, guardáos de la levadura de los Fariséos, y de la levadura de Heródes.
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
Y altercaban los unos con los otros diciendo: Pan no tenemos.
17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
Y como Jesus lo entendió, les dice: ¿Qué altercais, porque no teneis pan? ¿No considerais ni entendeis? Aun teneis endurecido vuestro corazon?
18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
¿Teniendo ojos no veis, y teniendo oidos no oís? ¿Y no os acordais?
19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
Cuando partí los cinco panes entre cinco mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzásteis? Y ellos dijeron: Doce.
20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
Y cuando los siete panes entre cuatro mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzásteis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
Y les dijo: ¿Cómo aun no entendeis?
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
Y vino á Bethsaida; y le traen un ciego, y le ruegan que le tocase.
23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Entonces tomando la mano del ciego le saco fuera de la aldéa, y escupiendo en sus ojos, y poniéndole las manos encima, le preguntó si veia algo.
24 The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
Y él mirando, dijo: Veo los hombres, pues veo que andan, como árboles.
25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
Luego le puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y le hizo que mirase; y fué restablecido, y vió de léjos y claramente á todos.
26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
Y enviólo á su casa, diciendo: No entres en la aldéa, ni [lo] digas á nadie en la aldéa.
27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
Y salió Jesus y sus discípulos por las aldéas de Cesaréa de Filipo. Y en el camino preguntó á sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo?
28 They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
Y ellos respondieron: Juan Bautista; y otros, Elías; y otros, Alguno de los profetas.
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
Entonces él les dice: Y vosotros ¿Quién decis que soy yo? Y respondiendo Pedro le dice: Tú eres el Cristo.
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
Y les apercibió que no hablasen de él á ninguno.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenia que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar despues de tres dias.
32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
Y claramente decia esta palabra. Entonces Pedro le tomó y le comenzó á reprender.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
Y él, volviéndose y mirando á sus discípulos, riñó á Pedro, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Satanás; porque no sabes las cosas que [son] de Dios, sino las que [son] de los hombres.
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Y llamando á la gente con sus discípulos, les dijo: Cualquiera que quisiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese á si mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.
35 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
Porque el que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí y del Evangelio, la salvará.
36 People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre si granjeare todo el mundo, y pierde su alma?
37 ([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
¿O qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma?
38 And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
Porque el que se avergonzare de mí y de mis palabras en esta generacion adulterina y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará tambien de él, cuando vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.
