Matthew 9
1 Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
ENTONCES entrando en el barco, pasó á la otra parte, y vino á su ciudad.
2 Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
Y he aquí le trajeron un paralítico, echado en una cama: y viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: Confía, hijo; tus pecados te son perdonados.
3 "Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
Y he aquí, algunos de los escribas decían dentro de sí: Este blasfema.
4 Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
Y viendo Jesús sus pensamientos, dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis mal en vuestros corazones?
5 Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
Porque, ¿qué es más fácil, decir: Los pecados te son perdonados; ó decir: Levántate, y anda?
6 But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice entonces al paralítico): Levántate, toma tu cama, y vete á tu casa.
7 And he got up, and went off home.
Entonces él se levantó y se fué á su casa.
8 And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
Y las gentes, viéndolo, se maravillaron, y glorificaron á Dios, que había dado tal potestad á los hombres.
9 Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
Y pasando Jesús de allí, vió á un hombre que estaba sentado al banco de los públicos tributos, el cual se llamaba Mateo; y dícele: Sígueme. Y se levantó, y le siguió.
10 And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
Y aconteció que estando él sentado á la mesa en casa, he aquí que muchos publicanos y pecadores, que habían venido, se sentaron juntamente á la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos.
11 The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
Y viendo esto los Fariseos, dijeron á sus discípulos: ¿Por qué come vuestro Maestro con los publicanos y pecadores?
12 He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
Y oyéndolo [Jesús], les dijo: Los que están sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los enfermos.
13 But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
Andad pues, y aprended qué cosa es: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio: porque no he venido á llamar justos, sino pecadores á arrepentimiento.
14 At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
Entonces los discípulos de Juan vienen á él, diciendo: ¿Por qué nosotros y los Fariseos ayunamos muchas veces, y tus discípulos no ayunan?
15 "Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
Y Jesús les dijo: ¿Pueden los que son de bodas tener luto entre tanto que el esposo está con ellos? mas vendrán días cuando el esposo será quitado de ellos, y entonces ayunarán.
16 No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
Y nadie echa remiendo de paño recio en vestido viejo; porque el tal remiendo tira del vestido, y se hace peor la rotura.
17 Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
Ni echan vino nuevo en cueros viejos: de otra manera los cueros se rompen, y el vino se derrama, y se pierden los cueros; mas echan el vino nuevo en cueros nuevos, y lo uno y lo otro se conserva juntamente.
18 While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
Hablando él estas cosas á ellos, he aquí vino un principal, y le adoraba, diciendo: Mi hija es muerta poco ha: mas ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá.
19 And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
Y se levantó Jesús, y le siguió, y sus discípulos.
20 But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
Y he aquí una mujer enferma de flujo de sangre doce años había, llegándose por detrás, tocó la franja de su vestido:
21 for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
Porque decía entre sí: Si tocare solamente su vestido, seré salva.
22 And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
Mas Jesús volviéndose, y mirándola, dijo: Confía, hija, tu fe te ha salvado. Y la mujer fué salva desde aquella hora.
23 Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
Y llegado Jesús á casa del principal, viendo los tañedores de flautas, y la gente que hacía bullicio,
24 and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
Díceles: Apartaos, que la muchacha no es muerta, mas duerme. Y se burlaban de él.
25 When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
Y como la gente fué echada fuera, entró, y tomóla de la mano, y se levantó la muchacha.
26 And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
Y salió esta fama por toda aquella tierra.
27 As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
Y pasando Jesús de allí, le siguieron dos ciegos, dando voces y diciendo: Ten misericordia de nosotros, Hijo de David.
28 And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
Y llegado á la casa, vinieron á él los ciegos; y Jesús les dice: ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos dicen: Sí, Señor.
29 So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
Entonces tocó los ojos de ellos, diciendo: Conforme á vuestra fe os sea hecho.
30 Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
Y los ojos de ellos fueron abiertos. Y Jesús les encargó rigurosamente, diciendo: Mirad que nadie lo sepa.
31 But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
Mas ellos salidos, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella tierra.
32 And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
Y saliendo ellos, he aquí, le trajeron un hombre mudo, endemoniado.
33 When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
Y echado fuera el demonio, el mudo habló; y las gentes se maravillaron, diciendo: Nunca ha sido vista cosa semejante en Israel.
34 But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
Mas los Fariseos decían: Por el príncipe de los demonios echa fuera los demonios.
35 And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
Y rodeaba Jesús por todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el evangelio del reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y todo achaque en el pueblo.
36 And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
Y viendo las gentes, tuvo compasión de ellas; porque estaban derramadas y esparcidas como ovejas que no tienen pastor.
37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
Entonces dice á sus discípulos: A la verdad la mies es mucha, mas los obreros pocos.
38 therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
Rogad, pues, al Señor de la mies, que envíe obreros á su mies.
