Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Y JESUS, lleno de Espíritu Santo, volvió del Jordan, y fué llevado por el Espíritu al desierto,
2 For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
Por cuarenta dias, y era tentado del diablo. Y no comió cosa en aquellos dias: los cuales pasados tuvo hambre.
3 Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Entónces el diablo le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, dí á esta piedra que se haga pan.
4 Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
Y Jesus respondiéndole, dijo: Escrito está: Que no con pan solo vivirá el hombre, mas con toda palabra de Dios.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Y le llevó el diablo á un alto monte y le mostró en un momento de tiempo todos los reinos de la tierra;
6 Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
Y le dijo el diablo: A tí te daré toda esta potestad, y la gloria de ellos: porque á mí es entregada, y á quien quiero la doy.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Pues si tú adorares delante de mí, serán todos tuyos.
8 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
Y respondiendo Jesus, le dijo: Véte de mí, Satanás, porque escrito está: A tu Señor Dios adorarás, y á él solo servirás.
9 Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
Y le llevó á Jerusalem, y púsole sobre las almenas del templo, y le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, échate de aquí abajo.
10 [You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
Porque escrito está; Que á sus ángeles mandará de tí, que te guarden;
11 They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
Y en las manos te llevarán, porque no dañes tu pié en piedra.
12 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
Y respondiendo Jesus, le dijo: Dicho está: No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.
13 Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
Y acabada toda tentacion, el diablo se fué de él por [algun] tiempo.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Y Jesus volvió en virtud del Espíritu á Galiléa, y salió la fama de él por toda la tierra de alrededor.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Y él enseñaba en las sinagogas de ellos, y era glorificado de todos.
16 Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
Y vino á Nazaret, donde habla sido criado y entró, conforme á su costumbre, el dia del Sábado en la sinagoga, y se levantó á leer.
17 A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
Y fuéle dado el libro del profeta Isaías; y como abrió el libro, halló el lugar donde estaba escrito:
18 The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
El Espíritu del Señor [es] sobre mí, por cuanto me ha ungido para dar buenas nuevas á los pobres; me ha enviado para sanar los quebrantados de corazon: para pregonar á los cautivos libertad, y á los ciegos vista; para poner en libertad á los quebrantados;
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
Para predicar el año agradable del Señor.
20 Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
Y rollando el libro, lo dió al ministro, y sentóse: y los ojos de todos en la sinagoga estaban fijos en el.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Y comenzó á decirles: Hoy se ha cumplido esta escritura en vuestros oidos.
22 [At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
Y todos le daban testimonio, y estaban maravillados de las palabras de gracia que salian de su boca, y decian: ¿No es este el hijo de José?
23 He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
Y les dijo: Sin duda me diréis este refrán: Médico, cúrate á tí mismo, de tantas cosas que hemos oido haber sido hechas en Capernaum, haz tambien aquí en tu tierra.
24 Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
Y dijo: De cierto os digo que ningun profeta es acepto en su tierra.
25 But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
Mas en verdad os digo, [que] muchas viudas habia en Israel en los dias de Elías, cuando el cielo fué cerrado por tres años y seis meses, que hubo una grande hambre en toda la tierra;
26 But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
Pero á ninguna de ellas fué enviado Elías, sino á Sarepta de Sidon, á una mujer viuda.
27 There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
Y muchos leprosos habia en Israel en tiempo del profeta Eliséo; mas ninguno de ellos fué limpio, sino Naaman el Siro.
28 When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
Entónces todos en la sinagoga fueron llenos de ira, oyendo estas cosas;
29 So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
Y levantándose, le echaron fuera de la ciudad, y le llevaron hasta la cumbre del monte, sobre el cual la ciudad de ellos estaba edificada, para despeñarle.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Mas él, pasando por medio de ellos, se fué.
31 [One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
Y descendió á Capernaum, ciudad de Galiléa y [allí] los enseñaba en los Sábados.
32 They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
Y se maravillaban de su doctrina, porque su palabra era con potestad.
33 [That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
Y estaba en la sinagoga un hombre que tenia un espíritu de un demonio inmundo, el cual exclamó á gran voz,
34 “Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
Diciendo: Déjanos. ¿Qué tenemos contigo, Jesus Nazareno? ¿Has venido á destruirnos? Yo te conozco quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
35 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
Y Jesus le increpó, diciendo: Enmudece, y sal de él. Entónces el demonio, derribándole en medio, salió de él, y no le hizo daño alguno.
36 The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
Y hubo espanto en todos, y hablaban unos á otros diciendo: ¿Qué palabra es esta, que con autoridad y potencia manda á los espíritus inmundos, y salen?
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
Y la fama de él se divulgaba de todas partes por todos los lugares de la comarca.
38 Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
Y levantándose Jesus de la sinagoga, entró en casa de Simon; y la suegra de Simon estaba con una grande fiebre; y le rogaron por ella.
39 So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
E inclinándose hacia ella, riñó á la fiebre, y la fiebre la dejó: y ella levantándose luego, les servia.
40 When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
Y poniéndose el sol, todos los que tenian enfermos de diversas enfermedades, los traian á él: y él, poniendo las manos sobre cada uno de ellos, los sanaba.
41 He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
Y salian tambien demonios de muchos, dando voces, y diciendo: Tú eres el Hijo de Dios: mas riñéndoles no les dejaba hablar; porque sabian que él era el Cristo.
42 [Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
Y siendo ya de dia salió, y se fué á un lugar desierto: y las gentes le buscaban, y vinieron hasta él; y le detenian para que no se apartase de ellos.
43 But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
Mas él les dijo: Que tambien á otras ciudades es necesario que anuncie el Evangelio del reino de Dios; porque para esto soy enviado.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
Y predicaba en las sinagogas de Galiléa.
