Marcos 3
1 Y volvió a la sinagoga; y había allí un hombre cuya mano estaba tullida.
[On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
2 Y lo estaban espiando para ver si lo sanaría en el día de reposo, para que pudieran tener algo contra él.
[Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
3 Entonces le dijo al hombre con la mano tullida: ponte en medio,
Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
4 Y les dijo: ¿Es correcto hacer el bien en sábado o hacer el mal? para dar la vida o para dar muerte? Pero no dijeron nada.
Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
5 Y mirándolos alrededor, con enojo, entristecido por sus corazones duros; y él dijo al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y él la extendió, y su mano quedó sana.
He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
6 Y los fariseos salieron, y de inmediato hicieron planes con los herodianos acerca de cómo podrían matarlo.
Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
7 Y Jesús se fue con sus discípulos al mar y gran número de Galilea lo siguió, y de Judea,
Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
8 Y de Jerusalén, y de Idumea, y del otro lado del Jordán, y de la región de Tiro y de Sidón, vino a él un gran número, al escuchar las grandes cosas que hizo.
from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
9 E hizo una petición a sus discípulos para que tuvieran un bote preparado para él, para que la multitud no lo apretujara;
Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
10 Porque él había sanado a tantos que todos los que estaban enfermos caían delante de él con el propósito de tocarlo.
11 Y los espíritus inmundos, cada vez que lo veían, se arrodillaban delante de él, gritando y diciendo: Tú eres el Hijo de Dios.
Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
12 Y les dio órdenes especiales de no decir quién era.
He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
13 Y subió al monte, y envió en busca de los que le complacía tener a su lado; y fueron a él.
Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
14 Y tomó doce para que estuviesen con él, para enviarlos como predicadores,
He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
15 Y darles el poder de expulsar a los espíritus malignos:
He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 A Simón le dio el segundo nombre de Pedro;
These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
17 Y a Santiago, hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan, hermano de Jacobo, le dio el segundo nombre de Boanerges, que es: Hijos del trueno:
James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
18 Y Andrés, y Felipe, y Bartolomé, y Mateo, y Tomás, y Santiago, hijo de Alfeo, Tadeo, Simón el Zelote;
Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
19 Y Judas Iscariote, que después traicionó a Jesús.
and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 Y él entró en una casa. Y la gente volvió a reunirse, de modo que ni siquiera pudieron comer.
Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
21 Y cuando sus parientes tuvieron noticias de esto, salieron a buscarlo, diciendo: Está fuera de sí.
After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
22 Y los escribas que habían llegado de Jerusalén, decían: Tenía a Beelzebú, y por el gobernador de los espíritus malos, él expulsaba espíritus malos de los hombres.
[Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
23 Y volviéndose a ellos, les dijo en forma de historia: ¿Cómo es posible que Satanás expulse a Satanás?
Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
24 Si hay división en un reino, ese reino vendrá a la destrucción;
If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
25 Y si hay división en una casa, esa casa vendrá a la destrucción;
And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
26 Y si Satanás está en guerra consigo mismo, y hay división en él, no guardará su lugar, sino que llegará a su fin.
Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
27 Pero nadie puede entrar en la casa del hombre fuerte y tomar sus bienes, sin antes poner cuerdas alrededor del hombre fuerte, y entonces él tomará sus bienes.
Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
28 En verdad, les digo, los hijos de los hombres tendrán el perdón por todos sus pecados y por todas las malas palabras que dicen:
[Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
30 Porque dijeron: Él tiene un espíritu inmundo.
[Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
31 Y vinieron su madre y sus hermanos, y estaban afuera, y enviaron a buscarle, pidiéndole que los viera.
Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
32 Y un gran número estaban sentados a su alrededor; y le dijeron: Mira, tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera buscándote.
A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
33 Y él respondió: ¿Quiénes son mi madre y mis hermanos?
Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
34 Y mirando a los que estaban sentados a su alrededor, dijo: Mira, mi madre y mis hermanos.
After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
35 El que hace la voluntad de Dios, ese es mi hermano, mi hermana y mi madre.
Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
