San Lucas 22
1 Y la fiesta de los panes sin levadura estaba cerca, que se llama la Pascua.
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 Y los principales sacerdotes y los escribas buscaban la oportunidad de matarlo, pero temían al pueblo.
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 Y Satanás entró en Judas Iscariote, que fue uno de los doce.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 Y él se fue y tuvo una discusión con los principales sacerdotes y los gobernantes, acerca de cómo podría entregarlo a ellos.
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 Y se alegraron, y se comprometieron a darle dinero.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Y él hizo un acuerdo con ellos para entregárselo, si tuviera la oportunidad, cuando la gente no estaba presente.
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 Y vino el día de los panes sin levadura, cuando se tenía que sacrificar el cordero de la Pascua.
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 Y Jesús envió a Pedro y a Juan, diciendo: vayan preparen la Pascua para nosotros, para que podamos tomarla.
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 Y ellos le dijeron: ¿Dónde tenemos que prepararlo?
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Y les dijo: Cuando entres en la ciudad, verás a un hombre que viene a ti con una vasija de agua; ir tras él a la casa a la que va.
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 Y le dicen al dueño de la casa: El Maestro dice: ¿Dónde está el cuarto de invitados, donde pueda tomar la Pascua 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 Y él te llevará a un gran salón con una mesa y asientos: allí listo.
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 Y ellos fueron, y fue como él había dicho: y ellos prepararon 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 Y llegado el momento, tomó asiento, y los apóstoles con él.
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 Y él dijo: cuánto he deseado y esperado celebrar esta Pascua con ustedes antes de venir a mi muerte;
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Porque les digo que no lo comeré otra vez hasta que esté completo 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 Y tomó una copa y, dando gracias, dijo: compartan esto 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 Porque les digo que no tomaré 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 Y tomó pan y, dio gracias, se lo dio a ellos cuando fue quebrado, y dijo: Esto es mi cuerpo, que por ustedes es dado; haced esto en memoria de mí.
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 Y de la misma manera, después de la comida, tomó la copa, diciendo: Esta copa es el nuevo testamento hecho con 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 Pero la mano del que me va a traicionar está 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 hará al Hijo del Hombre según el propósito de Dios, pero infeliz es ese hombre por quien es entregado.
[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 Y se preguntaban quién de ellos sería quién haría esto.
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 Y hubo una discusión entre ellos también sobre cuál de ellos era el más grande.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Y él dijo: Los reyes de los gentiles son señores sobre ellos, y los que tienen autoridad reciben nombres de honor.
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 que no sea así con ustedes; pero el que es más grande, que se vuelva como el mas joven; y el que es el jefe, como un sirviente.
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 ¿Porque cuál es más grande, el invitado que se sienta a una comida o el criado? ¿No es él que se sienta a la mesa? mas yo estoy entre ustedes como él 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 Pero ustedes son los que han permanecido conmigo en mis pruebas;
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Y les daré un reino como mi Padre me lo dio a mí,
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 para que tomes comida y bebida en mi mesa en mi reino, y los establezca como reyes, juzgando 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 Dijo también él Señor: Simón, Simón, Satanás los ha pedido a ustedes, para sacudirlos como 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 hecho oración por ti, para que tu fe no te falte, y tú, cuando te hayas vuelto a mi, ayuda a tus hermanos a permanecer firmes.
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 Y él le dijo: Señor, estoy listo para ir contigo a la cárcel y a la muerte.
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 Y él dijo: Te digo, Pedro, antes del segundo clamor del gallo hoy, dirás tres veces que no 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 Y él les dijo: ¿Cuándo los envié sin dinero, sin bolsa ni zapatos, tuvieron necesidad de algo? Y ellos dijeron: Nada.
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 Y les dijo: Pero ahora, el que tiene una bolsa de dinero, o una bolsa para comer, que la tome; y el que no tiene espada, déjele su capa por dinero y consiga una espada.
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 Porque les digo que estas palabras que fueron escritas se cumplirán en mí, y fue contado entre los malhechores; porque lo que se ha dicho en las Escrituras acerca de mí, tiene un cumplimiento.
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 Y ellos dijeron: Señor, aquí hay dos espadas. Y él dijo: Basta ya.
[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 Y saliendo, se fue, como era su rutina, al monte de los Olivos, y los discípulos fueron con él.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 Y cuando llegó al lugar, les dijo: Hagan una oración para que no sean puestos a prueba.
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 Y se alejó un poco de ellos y, arrodillándose en oración, dijo:
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, si te place, quítame esta copa; pero, que se haga tu placer, no el mío.
“[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 Y un ángel del cielo vino a él para darle fuerza.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Y estando en gran angustia de alma, la fuerza de su oración se hizo más fuerte, y grandes gotas, como sangre, en sudor, cayendo a la tierra.
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 Y, levantándose de la oración, vino a los discípulos, y vio que estaban durmiendo por tristeza.
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 Y él dijo: ¿Por qué estás durmiendo? Levántense y ponganse a orar, para que no sean puesto a prueba.
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 Y mientras él decía estas palabras, vino un grupo de personas, y Judas, uno de los doce, estaba frente a ellos, y se acercó a Jesús para darle un beso.
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 dijo: Judas, ¿traicionas 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 Y cuando los que estaban con él vieron lo que venía, dijeron: Señor, ¿podemos hacer uso de 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 dio un golpe al siervo del sumo sacerdote, cortándole la 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 Pero Jesús, respondiendo, dijo: basta ya, Y al tocar su oreja, lo sano.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 Y Jesús dijo a los principales sacerdotes, a los capitanes del Templo y a los gobernantes que habían venido contra él: ¿Como contra un ladrón has salido con espadas y varas?
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 Cuando estuve en el Templo contigo todos los días, tus manos no se estiraron contra mí, pero esta es tu hora y la autoridad de las tinieblas.
54 Y lo hicieron prisionero, y lo llevaron a la casa del sumo sacerdote. Pero Pedro los persiguió a distancia.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Y se encendió un fuego en medio de la plaza abierta, y se sentaron juntos, y Pedro estaba entre ellos.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Y una cierta sierva, viéndolo a la luz del fuego, y mirándole con atención, dijo: Este hombre estaba con él.
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 Pero él dijo: Mujer, no es verdad; No tengo conocimiento de él.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 Y después de un momento, otro lo vio y dijo: Tú eres uno de ellos; y él dijo: Hombre, no soy.
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 Y después de alrededor de una hora, otro hombre dijo, con decisión: Ciertamente este hombre estaba con él, porque él es 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 Y Pedro dijo: Hombre, no tengo conocimiento de estas cosas de las que estás hablando. Y de inmediato, mientras decía estas palabras, llegó el grito de un gallo.
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 el Señor, volviéndose, miró a Pedro. Y las palabras del Señor vinieron a la mente de Pedro, cómo él había dicho: Esta noche, antes de la hora del grito del 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 Y él salió, llorando amargamente.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 Y los hombres en cuyas manos estaba Jesús, se burlaban de él y le daban golpes.
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 Y cubriéndole los ojos, le dijeron: ¿Eres profeta suficiente para decir quién te dio ese golpe?
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 ellos dijeron muchas otras maldades contra él.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 Y cuando fue de día, los príncipes del pueblo se juntaron, con los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y lo llevaron delante de su Sanedrín, diciendo:
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 tú eres el Cristo, dilo. Pero él dijo: Si yo digo eso, no creerás;
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 Y si te hago una pregunta, no darás una respuesta ni me soltaras.
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 poder de Dios.
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 Y todos dijeron: ¿Eres tú entonces el Hijo de Dios? y él dijo: Ustedes dicen que yo soy.
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 Y ellos dijeron: ¿Qué más necesitamos nosotros, testigos? tenemos las mismas palabras de su 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]!
