Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
LUEGO por la mañana, habiendo tenido consejo los príncipes de los sacerdotes con los ancianos, y con los escribas, y con todo el concilio, llevaron á Jesus atado, y [le] entregaron á Pilato.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
Y Pilato le preguntó: ¿Eres tú el rey de los Judíos? Y respondiendo él, le dijo: Tú [lo] dices.
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes le acusaban mucho.
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
Y le pregunto otra vez Pilato, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan.
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
Mas Jesus ni aun con eso respondió, de modo que Pilato se maravillaba.
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
Empero en el dia de la fiesta les soltaba un preso, cualquiera que pidiesen.
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
Y habia uno que se llamaba Barrabás, preso con sus compañeros de motin, que habian hecho muerte en una revuelta.
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
Y viniendo la multitud, comenzó á pedir [hiciese] como siempre les habia hecho.
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
Y Pilato les respondió, diciendo: ¿Quereis que os suelte al Rey de los Judíos,
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
Porque conocia que por envidia le habian entregado los príncipes de los sacerdotes.
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
Mas los príncipes de los sacerdotes incitaron á la multitud, que les soltase ántes á Barrabás.
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
Y respondiendo Pilato, les dice otra vez: ¿Qué pues quereis que haga del que llamais Rey de los Judíos?
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
Y ellos volvieron á dar voces: Crucificale.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
Mas Pilato les decia: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho? Y ellos daban más voces: Crucificale.
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
Y Pilato, queriendo satisfacer al pueblo, les soltó á Barrabás, y entregó á Jesus, despues de azotarle, para que fuese crucificado.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
Entónces los soldados le llevaron dentro á la sala, es á saber, al pretorio y convocan toda la cohorte.
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Y le visten de púrpura; y poniéndole una corona tejida de espinas,
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
Comenzaron luego a saludarle: Salve, rey de los Judíos.
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
Y le herian en la cabeza con una caña, y escupian en él, y le adoraban hincadas las rodillas.
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
Y cuando le hubieron escarnecido, le desnudaron la [ropa de] púrpura y le vistieron sus propios vestidos, y le sacaron para crucificarle.
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
Y cargaron á uno que pasaba, (Simon Cirenéo, padre de Alejandro y de Rufo, que venia del campo) para que llevase su cruz.
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
Y le llevan al lugar de Gólgotha, que declarado, quiere decir: Lugar de la Calavera.
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
Y le dieron á beber vino mezclado con mirra: mas él no lo tomó.
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
Y cuando le hubieron crucificado, repartieron sus vestidos echando suertes sobre ellos, que llevaria cada uno.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Y era la hora de las tres cuando le crucificaron.
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
Y el título escrito de su causa era; EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS.
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
Y crucificaron con él dos ladrones uno á su derecha, y otro á su izquierda.
Y se cumplió la escritura que dice: Y con los inicuos fué contado.
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
Y los que pasaban, le denostaban meneando sus cabezas, y diciendo: Ah, tú que derribas el templo de Dios, y en tres dias lo edificas,
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
Sálvate á tí mismo, y desciende de la cruz.
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
Y de esta manera tambien los príncipes de los sacerdotes escarneciendo decian unos á otros, con los escribas á otros salvó, á sí mismo no se puede salvar.
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
El Cristo, Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz para que veamos y creamos. Tambien los que estaban crucificados con él le denostaban.
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Y cuando vino la hora de sexta fueron hechas tinieblas sobre toda la tierra, hasta la hora de none.
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
Y á la hora de nona exclamó Jesus á gran voz, diciendo: Eloi, Eloi, ¿lamma sabachthani? que declarado, quiere decir: Dios mio, Dios mio, ¿por qué me has desamparado?
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
Y oyéndole unos de los que estaban [allí, ] decian: Hé aquí, llama á Elías.
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
Y corrió uno, y empapando una esponja en vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña, le dió á beber, diciendo: Dejad veamos si vendrá Elías á quitarle.
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
Mas Jesus, dando una grande voz, espiró.
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Entónces el velo del templo se rasgó en dos de alto á bajo.
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
Y el centurion, que estaba delante de él, viendo que habia espirado así clamando, dijo: Verdaderamente este hombre era el Hijo de Dios.
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
Y tambien estaban [algunas] mujeres mirando de léjos; entre las cuales estaban María Magdalena, y María la madre de Jacobo el menor, y de Josés, y Salomé;
Las cuales, estando aun él en Galiléa, le habian seguido, y le servian; y otras muchas que juntamente con él habian subido á Jerusalem.
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
Y cuando fué la tarde, porque era la preparacion, es decir, la víspera del Sábado,
José de Arimatéa, senador noble, que tambien esperaba el reino de Dios, vino y osadamente entró á Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesus.
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
Y Pilato se maravilló que ya fuese muerto; y haciendo venir al centurion, preguntóle si era ya muerto.
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
Y enterado del centurion, dió el cuerpo á José:
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
El cual compró una sábana, y quitándole, le envolvió en la sábana, y le puso en un sepulcro que estaba cavado en una peña; y revolvió una piedra á la puerta del sepulcro.
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
Y María Magdalena, y María [madre] de Josés, miraban donde era puesto.
