Luke 5
1 One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
Y sucedió que mientras la gente venía empujando para estar cerca de él, y para escuchar de la palabra de Dios, él estaba cerca del lago llamado Genesaret;
2 He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
Y vio dos barcos a la orilla del lago, y los pescadores habían salido de ellos y estaban lavando sus redes.
3 Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
Y se metió en una de las barcas, propiedad de Simón, y le rogó que fuera un poco lejos de la tierra. Y sentándose, enseñaba al pueblo desde el bote.
4 After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
Y cuando terminó de hablar, le dijo a Simón: Sal a aguas profundas, y baja tus redes para pescar.
5 Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
Y Simón, respondiendo, dijo: Maestro, estuvimos trabajando toda la noche y no pescamos nada; mas en tu palabra echaré las redes.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Y cuando lo hicieron, obtuvieron una cantidad tan grande de peces que parecía que sus redes se romperían;
7 They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
E hicieron señales a sus amigos en el otro bote para que vinieran en su ayuda. Y vinieron, y los dos barcos estaban tan llenos que se hundían.
8 Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
Pero viendo esto Simón, descendió a las rodillas de Jesús, y dijo: Apártate de mí, Señor, porque soy un pecador.
Porque estaba maravillado, y todos los que estaban con él, por la cantidad de peces que habían tomado;
10 But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
Y así fueron Jacobo y Juan, los hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban trabajando con Simón. Y Jesús le dijo a Simón: No temas; de ahora en adelante serás un pescador de hombres.
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
Cuando llegaron a tierra con sus botes, abandonaron todo y fueron tras él.
12 While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
Y sucedió que estando él en una de las ciudades, allí había un leproso; y cuando vio a Jesús, postró su rostro en oración hacia él, diciendo: Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
13 [Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
Y extendiendo su mano lo tocó, dijo: Quiero; sé limpio Y de inmediato su enfermedad se fue de él.
14 Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
Y le dio órdenes: No digas nada a nadie, sino ve que el sacerdote te vea y has ofrenda de purificación para que seas limpiado, como dice la ley de Moisés, y para que les testifiques.
15 But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
Pero las noticias suyas salieron cada vez más, en todas direcciones, y gran cantidad de personas se unieron para escuchar sus palabras y para sanar de sus enfermedades.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Pero él se fue solo a un lugar desolado para orar.
17 One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
Y sucedió que en uno de esos días que estaba enseñando; y estaban sentados allí algunos fariseos y maestros de la ley, que habían venido de todas las ciudades de Galilea y Judea y de Jerusalén; y el poder del Señor estaba con él, para sanar.
18 several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
Y algunos hombres tenían con ellos, en una cama, a un hombre que estaba enfermo, sin poder moverse; e intentaron meterlo y ponerlo ante Jesús.
19 But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
Y debido a la gran cantidad de gente, no había forma de meterlo; así que subieron a la parte superior de la casa y lo dejaron caer por el techo, en su cama, en el medio frente a Jesús.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Y al ver su fe, dijo: Hombre, tus pecados son perdonados.
21 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
Y los escribas y los fariseos discutían diciendo: ¿Quién es éste, que habla blasfemias? ¿Quién puede dar el perdón de los pecados, sino sólo Dios?
22 Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
Pero Jesús, que tenía conocimiento de sus pensamientos, les dijo: ¿Por qué razonan en sus corazones?
23 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
¿Cuál es más simple: decir: tus pecados son perdonados; o decir, levántate y vete?
24 But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
Pero para que sepan que en la tierra el Hijo del Hombre tiene autoridad para el perdón de los pecados, (le dijo al hombre que estaba enfermo), yo te digo: Levántate, toma tu cama y vete a tu casa.
25 Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
Y enseguida se levantó delante de ellos, y tomando su cama, se fue a su casa alabando a Dios.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Y asombrados todos, dieron gloria a Dios; y estaban llenos de temor, diciendo: Hoy hemos visto maravillas.
27 Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
Y después de estas cosas salió, y vio a Leví, un publicano, sentado en el lugar donde se hacían los impuestos, y le dijo: Sígueme.
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Y renunciando a su negocio, se levantó y fue tras él.
29 Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
Y Leví hizo un gran banquete para él en su casa; y un gran número de publicanos y otros se sentaron a la mesa con ellos.
30 The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Y los fariseos y sus escribas protestaron contra sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Por qué beben y comen con los publicanos y pecadores?
31 Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
Y Jesús, respondiendo, les dijo: Los que están bien no tienen necesidad de un médico, sino los que están enfermos.
32 [Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
No he venido a llamar a justos, sino a los pecadores, para que se arrepientan de sus pecados.
33 [Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
Y ellos le dijeron: Los discípulos de Juan frecuentemente ayunan, y hacen oraciones, y también los discípulos de los Fariseos; pero tus discípulos comen y beben.
34 [To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
Y Jesús dijo: ¿Podrán hacer que los amigos del recién casado ayunen, cuando él esté con ellos?
35 [But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Pero vendrán días cuando él será quitado de ellos, y entonces en aquellos días ayunarán.
36 Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
Y él les dijo, en una historia, que ningún hombre toma un trozo de tela de un vestido nuevo y se lo pone a un vestido viejo, para que el vestido nuevo se dañe y el trozo del nuevo no vaya bien con el viejo.
37 Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
Y nadie echa vino nuevo en odres viejos, por temor a que las pieles se rompan por el vino nuevo, y se deje salir el vino, y las pieles lleguen a la destrucción.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Pero el vino nuevo tiene que ser puesto en odres nuevos; y lo uno y lo otro se conserva.
39 Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
Y ningún hombre, habiendo bebido vino viejo, desea algo nuevo, porque dice: Lo viejo es mejor.
