San Lucas 22
1 Se acercaba el Festival de los Panes sin Levadura, también llamado La Pascua.
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 Los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros religiosos estaban buscando una manera de matar a Jesús, pero tenían miedo de lo que la gente pudiera hacer.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
3 Satanás entró en Judas, de apellido Iscariote, uno de los doce discípulos.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 Él fue y habló con los jefes de los sacerdotes y los oficiales sobre cómo podría entregarles a Jesús.
Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
5 Ellos se deleitaron con esto y le ofrecieron dinero.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Él estuvo de acuerdo, y comenzó a buscar una oportunidad para entregar a Jesús cuando no estuviera la multitud allí.
So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
7 Llegó el Día de los Panes sin Levadura y era necesario sacrificar un cordero.
Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
8 Jesús envió a Pedro y a Juan, diciéndoles: “Vayan y preparen la cena de la Pascua, para que podamos comer juntos”.
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 Ellos le preguntaron: “¿Dónde quieres que la preparemos?”
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Él respondió: “Cuando entren a la ciudad se encontrarán con un hombre que lleva una vasija con agua. Síganlo y entren a la casa donde él entre.
He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
11 Díganle al propietario de la casa: ‘El maestro te manda a preguntar: “¿Dónde está el comedor donde yo pueda ir a cenar con mis discípulos?”’
tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
12 Él les mostrará un salón grande que está arriba y que tiene los muebles necesarios. Preparen allí la cena”.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
13 Ellos fueron y encontraron que todo sucedió tal como él les había dicho, y prepararon allí la cena de la Pascua.
So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
14 Cuando llegó el momento, Jesús se sentó a la mesa con sus apóstoles. Entonces les dijo:
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 “En realidad he estado esperando el momento de compartir esta cena de la Pascua con ustedes antes de que comiencen mis sufrimientos.
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Les aseguro que no comeré más de esta cena hasta que se haya cumplido el tiempo en el reino de Dios”.
I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
17 Jesús tomó la copa, y después de haber dado gracias, dijo: “Tomen esto y compártanlo entre ustedes.
Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
18 Les digo que no beberé nuevamente del fruto de la vid hasta que venga el reino de Dios”.
I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
19 Luego tomó el pan, y después de haber dado gracias, lo partió en pedazos y lo compartió con ellos. “Este es mi cuerpo que es entregado a ustedes; hagan esto en memoria de mí”, les dijo Jesús.
Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
20 De la misma manera, después de haber terminado de cenar, levantó la copa y dijo: “Esta copa es el nuevo acuerdo en mi sangre que es derramada por ustedes”.
Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
21 “A pesar de esto, el que me entrega está sentado justo aquí conmigo en la mesa.
But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
22 Porque se ha determinado que el Hijo del hombre morirá, pero ¡cuán terrible será para aquél que lo entrega!”
[It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
23 Entonces los discípulos comenzaron a discutir entre ellos sobre quién podría ser, y quién podría hacer eso.
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 Al mismo tiempo comenzaron una disputa sobre cuál de ellos era el más importante.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Y Jesús les dijo: “Los reyes extranjeros se enseñorean de sus súbditos, y los que tienen poder quieren que la gente incluso los considere como sus ‘benefactores’.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
26 ¡Pero no debe ser así entre ustedes! El que sea el más importante entre ustedes debe ser como el menos importante, y el líder debe ser como un siervo.
But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
27 ¿Quién es más importante, el que se sienta en la mesa, o el que sirve? ¿Acaso no es el que se sienta en la mesa? Pero yo estoy entre ustedes como el que sirve.
Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
28 Ustedes han estado conmigo durante mis pruebas.
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Yo les otorgo autoridad para gobernar, así como mi padre me la dio a mí,
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 para que puedan sentarse en mi mesa a comer y beber cuando estén en mi reino, y se sienten sobre tronos y juzguen a las doce tribus de Israel”.
so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 “Simón, Simón. Satanás ha pedido tener todo de ustedes para tamizarlos como al trigo,
“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
32 pero yo he orado por ti, para que tu fe no fracase. Y cuando hayas regresado, anima a tus hermanos”.
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
33 Pedro le dijo: “¡Señor, estoy listo para ir contigo a la prisión, y morir contigo!”
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
34 Jesús respondió: “Te digo, Pedro, que antes de que el gallo cante hoy, negarás tres veces que me conoces”.
Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
35 Entonces Jesús les preguntó: “Cuando los envié sin dinero, sin bolsa y sin calzado adicional, ¿les faltó algo?” “No, nada”, respondieron ellos.
Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
36 “Pero ahora, si tienen dinero llévenlo con ustedes, de igual manera si tienen una bolsa, y si no tienen espada, vendan su manto y compren una.
Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
37 Les digo que esta declaración de las Escrituras debe cumplirse: ‘Él fue contado con los malvados’. Lo que se dijo sobre mí ahora se está cumpliendo”.
Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
38 “Mira, Señor, aquí hay dos espadas”, dijeron ellos. “Es suficiente”, respondió.
[One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
39 Entonces Jesús se fue de allí y como de costumbre se dirigió al Monte de los Olivos junto con sus discípulos.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 Cuando llegó allí, les dijo: “Oren para que no caigan en tentación”.
When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
41 Entonces los dejó allí y caminó cierta distancia como de un tiro de piedra, y allí se arrodilló y oró.
Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
42 “Padre”, oraba él, “si es tu voluntad, por favor quita de mí esta copa de sufrimiento. Pero quiero hacer lo que tú quieras, no lo que yo quiero”.
“[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
43 Entonces un ángel del cielo se le apareció para darle fortaleza.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Y Jesús oraba mucho más, con terrible angustia, y su sudor caía como gotas de sangre sobre suelo.
He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
45 Luego terminó de orar y fue donde estaban los discípulos. Los encontró dormidos, exhaustos por la aflicción.
When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
46 “¿Por qué están durmiendo?” les preguntó. “Levántense y oren para que no caigan en tentación”.
He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
47 Mientras aún hablaba, se apareció una multitud dirigida por Judas, uno de los doce discípulos. Judas se acercó para besar a Jesús.
While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
48 Pero Jesús le preguntó: “Judas, ¿entregas al Hijo del hombre con un beso?”
Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
49 Los seguidores de Jesús le preguntaron: “Señor, ¿debemos atacarlos con nuestras espadas?”
When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
50 Y uno de ellos hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote, cortándole su oreja derecha.
One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
51 “¡Detente! ¡Basta de esto!” dijo Jesús. Entonces tocó la oreja del hombre y lo sanó.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 Luego Jesús habló con los jefes de los sacerdotes, y con los oficiales de la guardia del Templo y los ancianos. “¿Acaso soy algún tipo de criminal, que ustedes tuvieron que venir con palos y espadas?” preguntó.
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
53 “Aunque estuve con ustedes todos los días en el Templo, nunca me arrestaron. Pero este es el momento de ustedes, el momento cuando las tinieblas tienen el poder”.
54 Entonces ellos lo arrestaron y se lo llevaron, llevándolo a la casa del jefe de los sacerdotes. Pedro seguía a la distancia.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Entonces prendieron una fogata en medio del patio y se sentaron alrededor de ella. Y Pedro estaba entre ellos.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Cuando se sentó allí, una criada lo distinguió por la luz de la fogata, y lo miró fijamente y dijo:
As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
57 “Este hombre estaba con él”. Pero Pedro lo negó. “¡Mujer, no lo conozco!” le dijo.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 Un rato más tarde otra persona lo miró y dijo: “Tú también eres uno de ellos”. “¡No, no lo soy!” respondió Pedro.
A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
59 Cerca de una hora después, otra persona insistió: “Estoy seguro que estaba con él también, es un galileo”.
About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
60 “¡No tengo idea de qué hablas!” respondió Pedro. Justo entonces, cuando aún hablaba, canto el gallo. Entonces el Señor se dio la vuelta y miró a Pedro.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Y Pedro se acordó de lo que el Señor le había dicho, y cómo le dijo: “Antes que hoy cante el gallo, me negarás tres veces”.
The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
62 Entonces Pedro salió y lloró amargamente.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 Luego los hombres que custodiaban a Jesús comenzaron a burlarse de él y a golpearlo.
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 Le pusieron una venda en los ojos, y le preguntaban: “¡Si puedes profetizar, dinos quién te golpeó esta vez!”
They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
65 Y vociferaban muchos otros insultos contra él.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 Temprano en la mañana, el concilio de ancianos se reunió con los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros religiosos. Jesús fue llevado delante del concilio.
At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
67 “Si realmente eres el Mesías, dínoslo”, dijeron ellos. “Aun si se los dijera, no me creerían”, respondió Jesús.
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 “Y si yo les hiciera una pregunta, ustedes no la responderían.
If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
69 Pero desde ahora el Hijo del hombre se sentará a la diestra del Dios Todopoderoso”.
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 Entonces todos ellos preguntaron: “¿Entonces eres el Hijo de Dios?” “Ustedes dicen que yo soy”, respondió Jesús.
Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
71 “¿Por qué necesitamos más testigos?” dijeron. “¡Nosotros mismos lo hemos oído de su propia boca!”
Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
