Juan 13
1 Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua, estaba claro para Jesús que había llegado el momento de irse de este mundo al Padre. Después de haber amado aquellos que estaban en el mundo que eran suyos, su amor por ellos llegó hasta el final.
When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
2 Así que, mientras comía, el Maligno ya había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, para traicionarlo,
We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
3 Jesús, consciente de que el Padre había puesto todo en sus manos, y que él vino de Dios y se fue a Dios,
But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
4 se levantó de la mesa, se quitó la bata exterior, tomó un trapo y se lo puso en la cintura.
[But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
5 Luego puso agua en un lebrillo y lavó los pies de los discípulos y los secó con el paño que llevaba en la cintura.
Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
6 Entonces vino a Simón Pedro. Pedro dijo: Señor, ¿son mis pies lavados por ti?
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
7 Y Jesús, respondiendo, le dijo: Lo que yo hago no está claro para ti ahora, pero te será claro a su tiempo.
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Pedro dijo: Nunca dejaré que mis pies sean lavados por ti, nunca. Jesús dijo en respuesta: Si no te los lavo, no tienes parte conmigo. (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
9 Simón Pedro le dijo: Señor, no sólo mis pies, sino mis manos y mi cabeza.
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Jesús le dijo: El que está recién bañado no tiene más que lavarse los pies y luego está limpio; y ustedes, mis discípulos, están limpios, pero no todos.
[Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
11 Él sabía quién le iba a traicionar, por eso dijo: “No están limpios todos”.
He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
12 Luego, después de lavarse los pies y volver a ponerse la bata, se sentó y les dijo: ¿Saben lo que les he hecho?
After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13 Ustedes me dan el nombre de Maestro y Señor; y tienen razón; eso es lo que soy.
You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
14 Si yo, el Señor y el Maestro, he limpiado sus pies, es correcto que se limpien los pies unos a otros.
But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
15 Les he dado un ejemplo, para que puedan hacer lo que les he hecho.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 De cierto os digo que un siervo no es mayor que su señor; y el enviado no es mayor que el que lo envió.
Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
17 Si estas cosas están claras para ustedes, felices son ustedes si las hacen.
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 No estoy hablando de todos ustedes: yo se quienes son mis verdaderos discípulos, pero las cosas son como son, para que las Escrituras se hagan realidad, el que come el pan conmigo se ha vuelto contra mí.
“I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
19 De aquí en adelante, les digo esto de antemano antes de que sucedan, para que cuando surjan, puedan creer que yo soy él.
I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
20 De cierto les digo, que el que recibe en su corazón a cualquiera a quien yo envíe, me lleva en su corazón; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió.
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
21 Cuando Jesús hubo dicho esto, se turbó en espíritu, y dio testimonio, diciendo: De cierto les digo que ninguno de ustedes me será fiel.
After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
22 Entonces los ojos de los discípulos se volvieron el uno al otro, en la duda de a quién tenía en mente.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 Había en la mesa uno de sus discípulos, a quien Jesús amaba, que apoyaba la cabeza en el pecho de Jesús.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Haciéndole una señal, Simón Pedro dijo: ¿De quién está hablando?
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Entonces, él, apoyando la cabeza en el pecho de Jesús, le dijo: Señor, ¿quién es?
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Esta fue la respuesta que dio Jesús: es a quien le daré este pedazo de pan después de haberlo puesto en el recipiente. Luego tomó el pedazo de pan, lo puso en el recipiente y se lo dio a Judas, el hijo de Simón Iscariote.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
27 Y cuando Judas tomó el pan, Satanás entró en él. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Haz lo que tienes que hacer rápidamente.
As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
28 Ahora no estaba claro para nadie en la mesa por qué le dijo esto.
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 Algunos opinaron que debido a que Judas guardó la bolsa de dinero que Jesús le dijo, consiga las cosas que necesitamos para la fiesta; o, que debía dar algo a los pobres.
Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
30 Entonces Judas, que había tomado el pedazo de pan, salió de inmediato; y fue de noche.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 Entonces, cuando salió, Jesús dijo: Ahora es glorificado el Hijo del hombre, y Dios es glorificado en él.
After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
32 Si a Dios se le da gloria en él, Dios le dará gloria en sí mismo, y le dará gloria ahora mismo.
Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
33 Mis queridos hijos, solo debo estar con ustedes un poco más de tiempo. Entonces me estarán buscando, y como les dije a los judíos, ahora les digo: adónde voy, es posible que no vengan.
[You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
34 Les doy un nuevo mandamiento: ámense unos a otros; así como he tenido amor por ustedes, también deben amarse unos a otros.
Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
35 Por esto, será claro que ustedes son mis discípulos, si tienen amor el uno por el otro.
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 Simón Pedro le dijo: Señor, ¿a dónde vas? Jesús dijo en respuesta: “A dónde voy, no pueden seguirme ahora, pero me seguirás después”.
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
37 Pedro le dijo: ¿Por qué no iré contigo ahora? Daré mi vida por ti.
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Jesús dijo en respuesta: ¿Darás tu vida por mí? En verdad te digo, antes que cante un gallo habrás dicho tres veces que no eres mi discípulo.
Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
