San Lucas 23
1 Y levantándose todos fueron y lo llevaron ante Pilato.
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 Y declararon contra él, diciendo: Este hombre, según nuestro conocimiento, ha estado alborotando a nuestra nación, diciéndoles que no paguen impuestos al César, diciendo que él mismo es Cristo, un rey.
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 Y Pilato le dijo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Y él dijo en respuesta, tú lo dices.
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 Y Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes y al pueblo: En mi opinión, este hombre no ha hecho nada malo.
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 Pero se volvieron más violentos que antes, diciendo: Él ha causado problemas en el pueblo, enseñando en toda Judea desde Galilea hasta este lugar.
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 Pero al oír estas palabras Pilato dijo: ¿Es el hombre un galileo?
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 Y cuando vio que estaba bajo la autoridad de Herodes, lo envió a Herodes, que estaba en Jerusalén mismo en ese momento.
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Cuando Herodes vio a Jesús, se alegró muchísimo, pues durante mucho tiempo había deseado verlo, porque había tenido noticias suyas, y esperaba ver algunas maravillas hechas por él.
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 Y le hizo muchas preguntas, pero no dijo nada.
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 Y los principales sacerdotes y los escribas estaban allí, haciendo declaraciones contra él violentamente.
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 Y Herodes, con los hombres de su ejército, lo avergonzó y se burló de él, y vistiéndolo con túnicas esplendidas, lo envió de regreso a Pilato.
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 Y aquel día, Herodes y Pilato se hicieron amigos, porque antes se habían enfrentado unos a otros.
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 Y Pilato mandó llamar a los principales sacerdotes, a los príncipes y al pueblo, y les dijo:
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 Ustedes dicen que este hombre ha estado alborotando al pueblo: ahora yo, después de entrar en la cuestión ante ustedes, no veo nada malo en este hombre en relación con las cosas que han dicho contra él:
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 Y Herodes es de la misma opinión, porque él lo ha enviado de regreso a nosotros; porque, como verán, él no ha hecho nada por lo que pueda matarlo.
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 Y entonces le daré un castigo y lo dejaré ir.
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 Porque estaba obligado que en el festival dejaría en libertad a un prisionero.
18 Pero a gran voz dijeron todos los demás: mata a este hombre y libera a Barrabás.
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 Ahora este hombre estaba en la cárcel a causa de un ataque contra el gobierno en la ciudad, en el que había habido pérdidas de vidas.
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 Y Pilato les volvió a decir que era su deseo dejar libre a Jesús.
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 Pero clamando, dijeron: crucifícale! crucifícale! Crucifícale!
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 Y él les dijo por tercera vez: ¿Por qué, qué mal ha hecho? No veo ninguna razón para matarlo: le daré un castigo y lo dejaré ir.
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 Pero ellos siguieron clamando en voz alta, crucifícale! Y ellos se salieron con la suya.
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 Y Pilato dio su decisión por y les concedió su deseo.
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 Y en respuesta a su pedido, dejó libre a ese hombre que había estado en la cárcel por actuar contra el gobierno y homicidio, y entregó a Jesús a la voluntad de ellos.
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 Mientras se lo llevaban, tomaron a Simón de Cirene, que venía del campo, y lo obligaron a tomar la cruz en pos de Jesús.
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 Y un gran grupo de personas fue tras él, y de mujeres que hacían señales de dolor y llorando por él.
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 Pero Jesús, volviéndose a ellas, dijo: Hijas de Jerusalén, no lloren por mí sino lloren por ustedes mismas y por sus hijos.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 Porque vendrán días en que dirán: Bienaventuradas las estériles, que no han tenido hijos, cuyos cuerpos nunca han dado a luz, cuyos pechos nunca han dado leche.
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 Y dirán a los montes: Descienden sobre nosotros y a los collados, para que nos cubran.
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 Porque si hacen estas cosas cuando el árbol está verde, ¿qué no harán con él seco?
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 Y otros dos, malhechores, fueron llevados con él para crucificarlos.
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 Y cuando llegaron al lugar que se llama Gólgota, lo pusieron en la cruz, y los malhechores, uno a la derecha, y el otro a la izquierda.
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 Y Jesús dijo: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. E hicieron división de su vestimenta entre ellos por la decisión del azar.
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 Y la gente estaba mirando. Y los gobernantes se burlaban de él, diciendo: Él era un salvador de los demás; que haga algo por sí mismo, si él es el Cristo, el hombre escogido de Dios.
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 Y los hombres del ejército se burlaron de él, vinieron a él y le dieron vino amargo,
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 Y diciendo: Si eres el Rey de los judíos, libérate.
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Y estas palabras fueron escritas sobre él, ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDIOS.
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 Y uno de los malhechores en la cruz, con amargura, le dijo: ¿No eres tú el Cristo? Sálvate a ti y a nosotros de esto.
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 Pero el otro, protestando, dijo: ¿No tienes miedo de Dios? porque tú tienes parte en el mismo castigo,
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 Y con razón; porque tenemos la recompensa correcta de nuestros actos, pero este hombre no ha hecho nada malo.
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 Y él dijo a Jesús: acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en tu reino.
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 Y Jesús le dijo: De cierto te digo, que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso.
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 Y ya era como la hora sexta; y toda la tierra estaba oscura hasta la hora novena;
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 La luz del sol se apagó, y la cortina del Templo se partió en dos.
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 Y Jesús, dando grandes voces, dijo: Padre, en tus manos doy mi espíritu; y cuando hubo dicho esto, abandonó su espíritu.
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 Y cuando el capitán vio lo que se había hecho, alabó a Dios, diciendo: Sin duda, este era un hombre justo.
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 Y todo el pueblo que se había reunido para verlo, cuando vieron lo que se había hecho, volvieron y dieron señales de pesar.
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 Y todos sus amigos y las mujeres que vinieron con él desde Galilea, estaban esperando a la distancia, mirando estas cosas.
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 Ahora bien, había un hombre llamado José, un hombre de autoridad y un hombre bueno y recto él cual era miembro del concilio.
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 (Él no había dado su aprobación a su decisión o sus actos), de Arimatea, una ciudad de Judea, que estaba esperando el reino de Dios:
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 Este hombre fue a Pilato e hizo una petición para el cuerpo de Jesús.
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 Y lo bajo, y envolviendolo en una tela de lino, lo puso en un sepulcro abierto en la roca para un cadáver; y nadie había usado nunca ese sepulcro.
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 Ahora era el día de preparación y el sábado día de reposo estaba para comenzar.
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 Y las mujeres que habían venido con él de Galilea lo siguieron, y vieron el lugar y cómo su cuerpo había sido sepultado;
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 Y volvieron a casa y prepararon especias y perfumes; y en el día de reposo tomaron su descanso, de acuerdo con la ley.
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
