Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Entónces llegaron á Jesus ciertos escribas y Fariséos de Jerusalem, diciendo:
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
¿Por que tus discípulos traspasan la tradicion de los ancianos? porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿Por qué tambien vosotros traspasais el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradicion?
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Porque Dios mandó, diciendo: Honra al padre y á la madre: y, El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, muera de muerte.
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Mas vosotros decís: Cualquiera que dirá al padre ó á la madre: [Es ya] ofrenda mia [á Dios] todo aquello con que pudiera valerte,
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
No deberá honrar á su padre ó á su madre [con socorro.] Así habeis invalidado el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradicion.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
Este pueblo de labios me honra; mas su corazon lejos está de mí.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
Mas en vano me honran, enseñando doctrinas [y] mandamientos de hombres.
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Y llamando á sí las gentes, les dijo: Oid, y entended.
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre.
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Entónces llegándose sus discípulos le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los Fariséos oyendo esta palabra se ofendieron?
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Mas respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial será desarraigada.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Dejadlos: son ciegos guias de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Y Jesus dijo: ¿Aun tambien vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
¿No entendeis aun, que todo lo que entra en la boca, va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Mas lo que sale de la boca del corazon sale, y esto contamina al hombre
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Porque del corazon salen los malos pensamientos, muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, blasfemias.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre: que comer con las manos por lavar no contamina al hombre.
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Y saliendo Jesus de allí, se fué á las partes de Tiro y de Sidon.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Y hé aquí una mujer Chananéa, que habia salido de aquellos términos, clamaba diciéndole: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí; mi hija es malamente atormentada del demonio.
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Mas él no le respondió palabra. Entónces llegándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despáchala, pues da voces tras nosotros.
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Y él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Entónces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Y respondiendo él, dijo: No es bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo á los perrillos.
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor: mas los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus señores.
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Entónces respondiendo Jesus dijo: Oh mujer, grande [es] tu fé: sea hecho contigo como quieres. Y fué sana su hija desde aquella hora.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Y partido Jesus de allí, vino junto al mar de Galiléa; y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Y llegaron á él muchas gentes, que tenian consigo cojos, ciegos, mudos, mancos, y otros muchos [enfermos; ] y los echaron á los piés de Jesus, y los sanó:
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
De manera que se maravillaban las gentes, viendo hablar los mudos, los mancos sanos, andar los cojos, y ver los ciegos: y glorificaron al Dios de Israel.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Y Jesus llamando á sus discípulos, dijo: Tengo lastima de la gente, que ya [hace] tres dias [que] perseveran conmigo, y no tienen qué comer: y enviarlos ayunos no quiero; porque no desmayen en el camino.
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Entónces sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, que hartemos tan gran compañía?
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Y Jesus les dice: ¿Cuántos panes teneis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Y mandó á las gentes que se recostasen sobre la tierra.
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
Y tomando los siete panes y los peces, haciendo gracias, partió, y dió á sus discípulos, y los discípulos á la gente.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Y comieron todos, y se hartaron: y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete espuertas llenas.
Y eran los que habian comido cuatro mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Entónces despedidas las gentes, subió en el barco, y vino á los términos de Magdalá.
