San Lucas 4
1 Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, regresó del Jordán y fue guiado por el Espíritu en el desierto,
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 donde fue tentado por el diablo por cuarenta días. No comió nada durante todo ese tiempo, así que al final ya tenía mucha hambre.
For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
3 El diablo le dijo: “Si eres el hijo de Dios, ordena a esta piedra que se convierta en pan”.
Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 “Está escrito en la Escritura: ‘No vivirás solo de pan,’” respondió Jesús.
Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
5 El diablo lo llevó a un lugar alto, y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos le mostró todos los reinos del mundo.
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 Entonces el diablo le dijo a Jesús: “Te daré autoridad sobre todos esos reinos y su gloria. Esta autoridad se me ha entregado a mí, y yo puedo dársela a quien yo quiera.
Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
7 Arrodíllate y adórame y podrás tenerlo todo”.
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 “Está escrito en la Escritura: ‘Adorarás al Señor tu Dios, y solo a él servirás,’” respondió Jesús.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
9 El diablo llevó a Jesús a Jerusalén, lo puso en la parte más alta del Templo y le dijo: “Si eres el Hijo de Dios, ¡tírate!
Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
10 Porque está escrito en la Escritura: ‘Él mandará a sus ángeles para que cuiden de ti,
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 para que te sostengan y tu pie no tropiece’”.
They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
12 “Está escrito en la Escritura: ‘No tentarás al Señor tu Dios,’” respondió Jesús.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
13 Y cuando el diablo no tuvo más tentaciones para él, se quedó esperando otra oportunidad.
Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
14 Entonces Jesús regresó a Galilea, lleno del poder del Espíritu. Y la noticia sobre él se difundió por todas partes.
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 Jesús enseñaba en sus sinagogas, y todo el mundo lo alababa.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 Cuando llegó a Nazaret, la ciudad donde había crecido, entró el sábado a la sinagoga como de costumbre.
Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
17 Y le entregaron el rollo del profeta Isaías. Entonces Jesús lo desenrolló y encontró el lugar donde dice:
A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
18 “El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido para anunciar la buena noticia al menesteroso. Me ha enviado para proclamar que los prisioneros serán puestos en libertad, los ciegos verán, los oprimidos serán liberados,
The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
19 y para proclamar el tiempo del favor del Señor”.
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Volvió a enrollarlo y lo devolvió al encargado. Entonces se sentó. Y todos en la sinagoga lo miraban.
Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
21 “Esta Escritura que acaban de oír se ha cumplido hoy”, les dijo.
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 Y todos expresaron su aprobación hacia él, asombrados por las palabras que salieron de sus labios. “¿Acaso no es este el hijo de José?” se preguntaban ellos.
[At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
23 Jesús respondió: “Estoy seguro de que ustedes me repetirán este proverbio: ‘Médico, ¡cúrate a ti mismo!’ y preguntarán: ‘¿Por qué no haces aquí en tu propia ciudad lo que oímos que hiciste en Capernaúm?’
He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
24 Pero yo les digo la verdad, ningún profeta es aceptado en su propia ciudad.
Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
25 Les aseguro que hubo muchas viudas en Israel durante el tiempo de Elías, cuando hubo una sequía por tres años y medio que causó una gran hambruna por todo el país.
But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
26 Sin embargo, Elías no fue enviado donde ninguna de ellas. Sino que fue enviado a una viuda en Sarepta, ¡en la región de Sidón!
But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
27 Y aunque había muchos leprosos en Israel durante el tiempo de Eliseo, ¡el único que fue sanado fue Naamán, el sirio!”
There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
28 Cuando oyeron esto, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se enfurecieron.
When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
29 De un salto se pusieron de pie y lo llevaron fuera de la ciudad. Entonces lo agarraron con violencia y lo llevaron hasta la cima de la montaña sobre la cual estaba construida la ciudad, para lanzarlo del peñasco.
So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
30 Pero él caminó en medio de ellos y siguió su camino.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 Entonces Jesús descendió a Capernaúm, una ciudad de Galilea. Y comenzó a enseñarles un sábado.
[One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
32 Ellos estaban sorprendidos por lo que enseñaba porque hablaba con autoridad.
They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
33 En la sinagoga había un hombre que estaba poseído por un demonio. Y gritaba:
[That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
34 “¿Qué quieres con nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé quién eres: ¡El Santo de Dios!”
“Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
35 Jesús lo interrumpió, diciendo: “¡Cállate!” Entonces le ordenó al demonio: “¡Sal de él!” Y lanzándolo al piso delante de ellos, el demonio salió del hombre sin hacerle daño.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
36 Y todos estaban sorprendidos y se preguntaban unos a otros: “¿Qué enseñanza es esta? Pues con poder y autoridad da orden de salir a los espíritus malignos ¡y ellos lo hacen!”
The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
37 Y la noticia acerca de Jesús se extendía por toda la región.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 Después de marcharse de la sinagoga, Jesús fue a la casa de Simón. La suegra de Simón estaba enferma con una fiebre alta, y los que estaban allí le pidieron ayuda a Jesús.
Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
39 Entonces Jesús fue y se puso en pie junto a ella. Le ordenó a la fiebre que se fuera, y así sucedió. Entonces ella se levantó de inmediato y preparó una comida para ellos.
So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
40 Cuando el sol se puso, trajeron delante de él a todos los enfermos que sufrían de diversas enfermedades. Y Jesús ponía sus manos sobre ellos, uno tras otro, y los sanaba.
When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
41 Salieron demonios de muchas personas, gritando: “Tú eres el hijo de Dios”. Pero Jesús los interrumpía y no los dejaba hablar porque ellos sabían que él era el Cristo.
He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
42 Siendo temprano, a la mañana siguiente, Jesús salió para encontrar algún lugar tranquilo donde pudiera estar en paz. Pero las multitudes siguieron buscándolo, y finalmente lo encontraron. Trataron de detenerlo al salir porque no querían que se fuera.
[Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
43 Pero él les dijo: “Tengo que ir a otras ciudades a contarles la buena noticia del reino de Dios también, porque para esto fui enviado”.
But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
44 Entonces Jesús siguió viajando, enseñando la buena noticia en las sinagogas de Judea.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
