John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
Y JESÚS, seis días antes de la Pascua, vino á Bethania, donde estaba Lázaro, que había sido muerto, al cual había resucitado de los muertos.
2 There a supper was given in his honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
E hiciéronle allí una cena: y Marta servía, y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban sentados á la mesa juntamente con él.
3 So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
Entonces María tomó una libra de ungüento de nardo líquido de mucho precio, y ungió los pies de Jesús, y limpió sus pies con sus cabellos: y la casa se llenó del olor del ungüento.
4 One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
Y dijo uno de sus discípulos, Judas Iscariote, [hijo] de Simón, el que le había de entregar:
5 ‘Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?’
¿Por qué no se ha vendido este ungüento por trescientos dineros, y se dió á los pobres?
6 He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
Mas dijo esto, no por el cuidado que él tenía de los pobres; sino porque era ladrón, y tenía la bolsa, y traía lo que se echaba en ella.
7 ‘Leave her alone,’ said Jesus, ‘so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala: para el día de mi sepultura ha guardado esto;
8 The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.’
Porque á los pobres siempre los tenéis con vosotros, mas á mí no siempre me tenéis.
9 Now great numbers of people found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Entonces mucha gente de los Judíos entendió que él estaba allí; y vinieron no solamente por causa de Jesús, mas también por ver á Lázaro, al cual había resucitado de los muertos.
10 The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
Consultaron asimismo los príncipes de los sacerdotes, de matar también á Lázaro;
11 because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
Porque muchos de los Judíos iban y creían en Jesús por causa de él.
12 On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm branches,
El siguiente día, mucha gente que había venido á la fiesta, como oyeron que Jesús venía á Jerusalem,
13 and went out to meet him, shouting as they went, ‘God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord – the king of Israel!’
Tomaron ramos de palmas, y salieron á recibirle, y clamaban: ¡Hosanna, Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor, el Rey de Israel!
14 Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
Y halló Jesús un asnillo, y se sentó sobre él, como está escrito:
15 “Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.”
No temas, hija de Sión: he aquí tu Rey viene, sentado sobre un pollino de asna.
16 His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
Estas cosas no las entendieron sus discípulos de primero: empero cuando Jesús fué glorificado, entonces se acordaron de que estas cosas estaban escritas de él, y que le hicieron estas cosas.
17 Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
Y la gente que estaba con él, daba testimonio de cuando llamó á Lázaro del sepulcro, y le resucitó de los muertos.
18 This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
Por lo cual también había venido la gente á recibirle, porque había oído que él había hecho esta señal;
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!’
Mas los Fariseos dijeron entre sí: ¿Veis que nada aprovecháis? he aquí, el mundo se va tras de él.
20 Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
Y había ciertos Griegos de los que habían subido á adorar en la fiesta:
21 who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’
Estos pues, se llegaron á Felipe, que era de Bethsaida de Galilea, y rogáronle, diciendo: Señor, querríamos ver á Jesús.
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
Vino Felipe, y díjolo á Andrés: Andrés entonces, y Felipe, lo dicen á Jesús.
23 This was his reply – ‘The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
Entonces Jesús les respondió, diciendo: La hora viene en que el Hijo del hombre ha de ser glorificado.
24 In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
De cierto, de cierto os digo, que si el grano de trigo no cae en la tierra y muere, él solo queda; mas si muriere, mucho fruto lleva.
25 A person who loves their life loses it; while someone who hates their life in the present world will preserve it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
El que ama su vida, la perderá; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardará. (aiōnios g166)
26 If someone is ready to serve me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If a person is ready to serve me, my Father will honour them.
Si alguno me sirve, sígame: y donde yo estuviere, allí también estará mi servidor. Si alguno me sirviere, mi Padre le honrará.
27 Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour – yet it was for this reason that I came to this hour –
Ahora está turbada mi alma; ¿y qué diré? Padre, sálvame de esta hora. Mas por esto he venido en esta hora.
28 Father, honour your own name.’ At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, ‘I have already honoured it, and I will honour it again.’
Padre, glorifica tu nombre. Entonces vino una voz del cielo: Y lo he glorificado, y lo glorificaré otra vez.
29 The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, ‘An angel has been speaking to him.’
Y la gente que estaba presente, y había oído, decía que había sido trueno. Otros decían: Angel le ha hablado.
30 ‘It was not for my sake that the voice came,’ said Jesus, ‘but for yours.
Respondió Jesús, y dijo: No ha venido esta voz por mi causa, mas por causa de vosotros.
31 Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
Ahora es el juicio de este mundo: ahora el príncipe de este mundo será echado fuera.
32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’
Y yo, si fuere levantado de la tierra, á todos traeré á mí mismo.
33 By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
Y esto decía dando á entender de qué muerte había de morir.
34 ‘We,’ replied the people, ‘have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be “lifted up” Who is this “Son of Man”?’ (aiōn g165)
Respondióle la gente: Nosotros hemos oído de la ley, que el Cristo permanece para siempre: ¿cómo pues dices tú: Conviene que el Hijo del hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es este Hijo del hombre? (aiōn g165)
35 ‘Only a little while longer,’ answered Jesus, ‘will you have the light among you. Travel on while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Entonces Jesús les dice: Aun por un poco estará la luz entre vosotros: andad entre tanto que tenéis luz, porque no os sorprendan las tinieblas; porque el que anda en tinieblas, no sabe dónde va.
36 While you still have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.’ After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
Entre tanto que tenéis la luz, creed en la luz, para que seáis hijos de luz. Estas cosas habló Jesús, y fuése, y escondióse de ellos.
37 But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
Empero habiendo hecho delante de ellos tantas señales, no creían en él.
38 in fulfilment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says – “Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?”
Para que se cumpliese el dicho que dijo el profeta Isaías: ¿Señor, quién ha creído á nuestro dicho? ¿y el brazo del Señor, á quién es revelado?
39 The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
Por esto no podían creer, porque otra vez dijo Isaías:
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn – And I should heal them.”
Cegó los ojos de ellos, y endureció su corazón; porque no vean con los ojos, y entiendan de corazón, y se conviertan, y yo los sane.
41 Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
Estas cosas dijo Isaías cuando vió su gloria, y habló de él.
42 Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, because they were afraid that they should be expelled from their synagogues;
Con todo eso, aun de los príncipes, muchos creyeron en él; mas por causa de los Fariseos no [lo] confesaban, por no ser echados de la sinagoga.
43 for they valued honour from people more than honour from God.
Porque amaban más la gloria de los hombres que la gloria de Dios.
44 But Jesus had proclaimed, ‘He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
Mas Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió;
45 and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
Y el que me ve, ve al que me envió.
46 I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
Yo [la] luz he venido al mundo, para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas.
47 When anyone hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Y el que oyere mis palabras, y no las creyere, yo no le juzgo; porque no he venido á juzgar al mundo, sino á salvar al mundo.
48 He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already – the message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last day.
El que me desecha, y no recibe mis palabras, tiene quien le juzgue: la palabra que he hablado, ella le juzgará en el día postrero.
49 For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
Porque yo no he hablado de mí mismo: mas el Padre que me envió, él me dió mandamiento de lo que he de decir, y de lo que he de hablar.
