Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Acercáronse los fariseos y saduceos y, para ponerlo a prueba le pidieron que les hiciese ver alguna señal del cielo.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Mas Él les respondió y dijo: “Cuando ha llegado la tarde, decís: Buen tiempo, porque el cielo está rojo”,
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
y a la mañana: “Hoy habrá tormenta, porque el cielo tiene un rojo sombrío”. Sabéis discernir el aspecto del cielo, pero no las señales de los tiempos.
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Una generación mala y adúltera requiere una señal: no le será dada otra que la del profeta Jonás”. Y dejándolos, se fue.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Los discípulos, al ir a la otra orilla, habían olvidado de llevar panes.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Y Jesús les dijo: “Mirad y guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos”.
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
Ellos dentro de sí discurrían diciendo: “Es que no hemos traído panes”.
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Mas Jesús lo conoció y dijo: “Hombres de poca fe; ¿qué andáis discurriendo dentro de vosotros mismos que no tenéis panes?
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
¿No entendéis todavía, ni recordáis los cinco panes de los cinco mil, y cuántos canastos recogisteis?
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
¿Ni los siete panes de los cuatro mil, y cuántos canastos recogisteis?
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
¿Cómo no entendéis que no de los panes os quería hablar al deciros: “Guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos?”
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Entonces, comprendieron que no había querido decir que se guardasen de la levadura de los panes, sino de la doctrina de los fariseos y saduceos.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Y llegado Jesús a la región de Cesarea de Filipo, propuso esta cuestión a sus discípulos: “¿Quién dicen los hombres que es el Hijo del hombre?”
14 We answered, “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]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
Respondieron: “Unos dicen que es Juan el Bautista, otros Elías, otros Jeremías o algún otro de los profetas”.
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Díjoles: “Y según vosotros, ¿quién soy Yo?”
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Respondiole Simón Pedro y dijo: “Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo del Dios vivo”.
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
Entonces Jesús le dijo: “Bienaventurado eres, Simón Bar-Yoná, porque carne y sangre no te lo reveló, sino mi Padre celestial.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Y Yo, te digo que tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia, y las puertas del abismo no prevalecerán contra ella. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
A ti te daré las llaves del reino de los cielos: lo que atares sobre la tierra, estará atado en los cielos, lo que desatares sobre la tierra, estará desatado en los cielos”.
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Entonces mandó a sus discípulos que no dijesen a nadie que Él era el Cristo.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a declarar a sus discípulos que Él debía ir a Jerusalén y sufrir mucho de parte de los ancianos, de los sumos sacerdotes y de los escribas, y ser condenado a muerte y, resucitar al tercer día.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Mas Pedro, tomándolo aparte, se puso a reconvenirle, diciendo: “¡Lejos de Ti, Señor! Esto no te sucederá por cierto”.
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Pero Él volviéndose, dijo a Pedro: “¡Quítateme de delante, Satanás! ¡Un tropiezo eres para Mí, porque no sientes las cosas de Dios, sino las de los hombres!”.
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Entonces, dijo a sus discípulos: “Si alguno quiere seguirme, renúnciese a sí mismo, y lleve su cruz y siga tras de Mí.
25 [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] will live [with God eternally].
Porque el que quisiere salvar su alma, la perderá; y quien pierda su alma por mi causa, la hallará.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Porque ¿de qué sirve al hombre, si gana el mundo entero, mas pierde su alma? ¿O qué podrá dar el hombre a cambio de su alma?
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir, en la gloria de su Padre, con sus ángeles, y entonces dará a cada uno según sus obras.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
En verdad, os digo, algunos de los que están aquí no gustarán la muerte sin que hayan visto al Hijo del hombre viniendo en su Reino”.
