San Lucas 6
1 Y aconteció que un sábado, el día de reposo, estaba pasando por los campos de trigo, y sus discípulos arrancaban espigas del trigo para comer, restregandose en sus manos y 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 Pero algunos de los fariseos dijeron: ¿Por qué hacen lo que no es correcto 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 Y Jesús dijo: ¿No han leído en las Escrituras lo que hizo David cuando tuvo hambre, él y los que estaban con él?
[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 ¿Cómo entró en la casa de Dios y tomó el pan santo consagrado a Dios, que solo los sacerdotes podían tomar, y lo dio a los que estaban con él?
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 Y él dijo: El Hijo del hombre es Señor aun 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 Y sucedió que en otro día de reposo, él entró a la sinagoga y estaba enseñando allí. Y había un hombre allí cuya mano derecha estaba seca.
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 Y los escribas y los fariseos lo espiaban para ver si él lo sanaba en el día de reposo, para tener un pretexto para acusarle.
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 él sabía lo que pensaban en ellos; y le dijo al hombre cuya mano estaba seca: levántate y ven en el medio. Y él se levantó y se puso de 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 Y Jesús dijo: les haré una pregunta: ¿Es correcto hacer el bien en sábado o hacer el mal? dar vida o quitarla?
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 mirándolos alrededor a todos ellos, le dijo: Extiende tu mano. Y él lo hizo así, y su mano quedó sana.
[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 estaban llenos de ira, y hablaban entre sí de 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 Y aconteció en aquellos días que él salió a la montaña a orar; y estuvo toda la noche orando a Dios.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Y cuando era de día y, volviéndose a sus discípulos, hizo una selección de doce entre ellos, a los que dio el nombre de 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, a quien dio el nombre de Pedro, y Andrés, su hermano, y Santiago, y Juan, y Felipe, y 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 Y Mateo, y Tomás y Jacobo, hijo de Alfeo, y Simón, que fué llamado el Zelote,
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 Y Judas, el hijo de Jacobo, y Judas Iscariote, 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 Y descendió con ellos a un lugar llano, y en compañía de sus discípulos, y un gran número de personas de toda Judea y Jerusalén y de las partes de Tiro y Sidón junto al mar, vinieron para oirle y para ser sanado 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 Y aquellos que estaban atribulados con espíritus inmundos 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 Y todo el pueblo deseaba ser tocado por él, porque el poder salía de él y los sanaba a todos.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Y volviendo la vista á sus discípulos, dijo: Bienaventurados los pobres, porque el reino de Dios es de ustedes.
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 Bienaventurados los que tienen hambre, porque serán saciados. Bienaventurados los que lloran ahora; porque se alegrarán.
[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 Bienaventurados ustedes, cuando los hombres los aborrezcan, y cuando los expulsen, cuando los insulten, cuando desprecien su nombre como cosa mala, por causa del 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 Alégrense en aquel día, y alégrense, porque su recompensa en los cielos será grande; porque sus padres hicieron estas mismas cosas 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 Ay! de ustedes los que tienen riquezas! porque ya han sido consolados.
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 Ay! de ustedes que están saciados, porque tendrán hambre. Ay! de ustedes que se están riendo ahora, porque estarán llorando de tristeza.
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 Ay! de ustedes cuando todos los hombres les dan su aprobación; porque así lo hicieron sus padres 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 ustedes quienes me escuchan: Tengan amor por los que están en tu contra, hagan bien a los que les 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 los que los maldicen, digan oraciones por aquellos que son crueles con ustedes.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 Si un hombre te da un golpe en un lado de la cara, preséntale también la otra; y al que te quita la capa, ni aun la túnica le niegues.
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 Da a todos los que vengan a pedir, y si un hombre se lleva lo tuyo, no intentes recuperarlo nuevamente.
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 Haz a los demás lo que quieras que te hagan a ti.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 Si tienes amor por aquellos que te quieren, ¿qué crédito tienes? porque aun los pecadores tienen amor por aquellos que 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 Y si haces bien a los que te hacen bien, ¿qué crédito tienes? porque incluso los pecadores hacen lo mismo.
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 Y si prestas a aquellos, de quien esperas recuperarlo, ¿qué crédito tienes? incluso los pecadores lo hacen a los pecadores, esperando recuperar otro tanto.
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 Ama, pues, a los que están contra ti y haz el bien, y da prestado, sin esperar nada a cambio, y tu recompensa será grande y serán hijos del Altísimo; porque es bueno con los ingratos y hombres malos.
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 Sé lleno de misericordia, como tu Padre está lleno de misericordia.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 No sean jueces de otros, y no serán juzgados: no condenen a otros, y no serán condenados: perdonen a otros, 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 se les dará a ustedes; buena medida, apretada, lleno y remecida, y rebozando les darán a su regazo. Porque en la misma medida que mides, se te medirá.
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 Y les dio enseñanza en forma de historia, diciendo: ¿Es posible que un ciego sea el guía de otro? ¿No caerán juntos en un agujero?
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 El discípulo no es más grande que su maestro, mas todo él que ha sido perfeccionado será como 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 ¿Y por qué miras la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano, pero no ves la viga que está en tu 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 le dirás a tu hermano, hermano, déjame sacar la paja que está en tu ojo, cuando tú mismo no ves la viga que tienes en tu propio ojo? ¡Oh Hipócrita! Primero saca tu viga de tu ojo y luego verás claramente para quitar la paja 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 Porque ningún árbol bueno da malos frutos, ni ningún árbol malo da buenos frutos.
“[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 Porque cada árbol se conoce por su fruto. Los hombres no obtienen los higos de las espinas ni las uvas de las plantas de mora.
[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 El hombre bueno, del buen tesoro de su corazón, da buenas cosas; y el hombre malo, del mal tesoro de su corazón saca lo malo; porque de la abundancia del corazón habla la boca.
[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 me dices: Señor, Señor, y no hacen lo que yo digo 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 Todo el que viene a mí y escucha mis palabras y las hace, les indicaré a quién es semejante.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Es como un hombre que está construyendo una casa, que cavó profundo y puso su base sobre una roca; y cuando el agua subía y el río creció y dio con fuerza contra esa casa, no se movía, porque el edificio estaba fundada sobre la roca.
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 Pero el que oye, sin hacer, es como un hombre que edifica una casa en la tierra sin base para ella; y cuando la fuerza del río vino contra él, enseguida descendió; y la destrucción de esa casa fue grandiosa.
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].”
