San Lucas 6
1 Sucedió que un sábado, mientras Jesús caminaba por los campos de trigo, sus discípulos comenzaron a recoger algunas espigas, frotándolas en sus manos, y las comían.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 Entonces algunos de los fariseos lo cuestionaron, diciéndole: “¿Por qué están ustedes haciendo lo que no está permitido hacer en sábado?”
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Jesús respondió: “¿Ustedes nunca han leído lo que David hizo cuando él y sus hombres tuvieron hambre?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 ¿Y cómo entró a la casa de Dios y tomó el pan consagrado? Lo comió, y lo dio a comer a sus hombres también. Eso tampoco está permitido. El pan consagrado es solo para los sacerdotes”.
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 Entonces les dijo: “El Hijo del hombre es Señor del sábado”.
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 Aconteció que otro sábado Jesús entró a enseñar en la sinagoga. Y había allí un hombre que tenía su mano derecha lisiada.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 Los maestros religiosos y los fariseos estaban observando a Jesús atentamente para ver si sanaría en sábado. Porque ellos querían encontrar algún motivo para acusarlo.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 Pero Jesús sabía lo que había en sus mentes. Entonces le dijo al hombre con la mano lisiada: “Levántate, y ponte en pie aquí delante de todos”. Y el hombre se levantó y se quedó allí en pie.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Entonces Jesús se dio vuelta hacia ellos y dijo: “Permítanme hacerles una pregunta: ¿Es legal hacer el bien en sábado, o el mal? ¿Salvar vidas o destruirlas?”
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 Y miró a su alrededor a todos los que estaban allí. Entonces le dijo al hombre: “Extiende tu mano”. Y el hombre lo hizo, y su mano volvió a estar como nueva.
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Pero ellos se enfurecieron, y comenzaron a analizar respecto a lo que podrían hacerle a Jesús.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 Un día, poco tiempo después, Jesús subió a una montaña para orar. Allí se quedó toda la noche, orando a Dios.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Cuando llegó la mañana, reunió a sus discípulos, y eligió a doce de ellos. Estos son los nombres de los apóstoles:
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 Simón (también llamado Pedro por Jesús), Andrés su hermano, Santiago, Juan, Felipe, Bartolomé,
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Mateo, Tomás, Santiago el hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Revolucionario,
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 Judas el hijo de Santiago, y Judas Iscariote (quien llegó a ser el traidor).
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 Jesús descendió de la montaña con ellos, y se detuvo en un lugar donde había una gran llanura. Estaban rodeados de una multitud de discípulos y muchas otras personas de toda Judea, de Jerusalén y de la costa de Tiro y Sidón. Y se habían reunido para escucharlo y para que los sanara de sus enfermedades.
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 Los que estaban aquejados por espíritus malignos también eran sanados.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 Todos los que estaban en la multitud intentaban tocarlo, porque de él salía poder y los sanaba a todos.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Mirando a sus discípulos, Jesús les dijo:
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 “Cuán felices ustedes los pobres, porque el reino de Dios es de ustedes. Cuán felices ustedes los que ahora tienen hambre, porque comerán todo lo que necesiten. Cuán felices ustedes los que ahora están llorando, porque reirán.
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 “Cuán felices ustedes cuando la gente los odie, los rechace, los insulte y maldiga sus nombres por mí, que soy el Hijo del hombre.
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 Cuando llegue ese día, estén felices. Salten de alegría porque es grande la recompensa que tienen ustedes en el cielo. No olviden que los ancestros de ellos también maltrataron así a los profetas.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 “Pero cuánto pesar por ustedes los ricos, porque ya tienen su recompensa.
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 Cuánto pesar por los que ahora están saciados, porque estarán hambrientos. Cuánto pesar por ustedes los que ahora ríen, porque llorarán y se lamentarán.
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 Cuánto pesar por ustedes cuando todos los alaben. No olviden que sus ancestros también alabaron de esta manera a los falsos profetas.
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 “Pero yo les digo a todos ustedes que están oyendo: Amen a sus enemigos. Hagan el bien a quienes los odian.
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 Bendigan a quienes los maldicen. Oren por quienes los maltratan.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 Si alguien los golpea en la mejilla, pongan la otra. Si alguien les quita el abrigo, no se opongan a que les quiten su camisa.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 Den a cualquiera que les pida. Si alguien les quita algo, no lo pidan de vuelta.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 Hagan con otros lo que quieren que hagan con ustedes.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 “Si ustedes aman a quienes los aman, ¿por qué merecerían algún crédito por ello? Hasta los pecadores aman a quienes los aman.
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 Si ustedes hacen el bien a quienes les hacen el bien, ¿Por qué merecerían algún crédito por eso también? Los pecadores también hacen eso.
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 Si ustedes prestan dinero para que se lo devuelvan, ¿Por qué merecerían crédito por ello? Los pecadores también prestan dinero a otros pecadores, esperando que les devuelvan lo que prestaron.
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 No. Amen a sus enemigos, háganles el bien, y presten sin esperar que les paguen. Entonces recibirán una gran recompensa, y ustedes serán los hijos del Altísimo, porque él es bueno con los ingratos y los malvados.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 Sean compasivos, como su Padre lo es.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 “No juzguen, y ustedes tampoco serán juzgados; no condenen, y ustedes no serán condenados; perdonen, y serán perdonados;
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 den, y recibirán de vuelta con generosidad. ¡Cuando a ustedes les den, será apretado, para que haya lugar para más, y estará desbordándose y derramándose en sus regazos! Porque lo mucho que ustedes den, determinará lo mucho que recibirán”.
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 Entonces ilustró este tema así: “¿Acaso puede un ciego guiar a otro ciego? ¿No caerían ambos en una zanja?
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 ¿Acaso los estudiantes saben más que el maestro? Solo cuando lo hayan aprendido todo, entonces serán semejantes a su maestro.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 ¿Por qué te preocupas por la astilla que está en el ojo de tu hermano, cuando ni siquiera te das cuenta del tronco que está en tu propio ojo?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 ¿Cómo puedes decirle a tu hermano: ‘Hermano, déjame sacar la astilla que tienes en tu ojo,’ cuando ni siquiera ves la tronco que tienes en tu propio ojo? ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la tronco que tienes en tu ojo, y entonces podrás ver suficientemente bien para sacar la astilla del ojo de tu hermano.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 “Un buen árbol no produce frutos malos, y un árbol malo no produce frutos buenos.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Ustedes reconocen un árbol por los frutos que produce. Nadie recoge higos de un arbusto con espinas, ni cosecha uvas de una zarza.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 La gente buena produce lo que es bueno de las cosas buenas que ellos atesoran de lo que guardan por dentro. Las personas malas producen cosas malas de lo malo que guardan dentro de ellos. Lo que llena las mentes de las personas se evidencia en lo que dicen.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 “¿Por qué, entonces, se molestan en llamarme ‘Señor, Señor,’ si no hacen lo que digo?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 Les daré el ejemplo de alguien que viene a mí, oye mi instrucción y la sigue.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Esa persona es como el hombre que construye una casa. Cava un hueco y establece allí el fundamento sobre la roca sólida. Cuando se desborda el río y las aguas golpean contra aquella casa, la casa no se daña porque está bien construida.
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 La persona que me oye pero no hace lo que yo digo es como un hombre que construye una casa sin fundamentos. Cuando la creciente viene contra la casa, la casa colapsa de inmediato, y queda completamente destruida”.
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
