Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
Y EN este mismo tiempo estaban allí unos que le contaban acerca de los Galiléos cuya sangre Pilato habia mezclado con sus sacrificios.
2 “Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
Y respondiendo Jesus les dijo: ¿Pensais que estos Galiléos, porque han padecido tales cosas, hayan sido más pecadores que todos las Galiléos?
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
No, os digo: ántes, si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis igualmente.
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
O aquellos diez y ocho, sobre los cuales cayó la torre de Siloé, y los mató, ¿pensais que ellos fueron más deudores que todos los hombres que habitan en Jerusalem,
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
No, os digo: ántes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis asimismo.
6 And Jesus told them this parable — “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
Y dijo esta parábola: Tenia uno una higuera plantada en su viña, y vino á buscar fruto en ella, y no [lo] halló.
7 So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
Y dijo al viñero: Hé aquí tres años ha que vengo á buscar fruto en esta higuera, y no [le] hallo; córtala, ¿por que ocupará aun la tierra?
8 ‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘till I have dug round it and manured it.
El entónces respondiendo, le dijo: Señor, déjala aun este año, hasta que [yo] la excave, y estercole.
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
Y si hiciere fruto, [bien; ] y si no, la cortarás despues.
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the Synagogues,
Y enseñaba en una sinagoga en Sábado.
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
Y hé aquí una mujer que tenia espíritu de enfermedad diez y ocho años, andaba agobiada que en ninguna manera [se] podia enhestar.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
Y como Jesus la vió, llamó[la, ] y díjole: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad.
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
Y puso las manos sobre ella, y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba á Dios.
14 But the President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado que Jesus hubiese curado en el Sábado, dijo á la compañía: Seis dias hay en que es necesario obrar: en estos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en dia de Sábado.
15 “You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
Entónces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, ¿cada uno de vosotros no desata en Sábado su buey, ó su asno del pesebre, y [lo] lleva á beber?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
Y á esta hija de Abraham, que hé aquí que Satanás la habia ligado diez y ocho años, ¿no convino desatarla de esta ligadura en dia de Sábado?
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
Y diciendo estas cosas, se avergonzaban todos sus adversarios: mas todo el pueblo se gozaba de todas las cosas gloriosas que eran por él hechas.
18 So Jesus said: “What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what can I liken it?
Y dijo: ¿A qué es semejante el reino de Dios, y á qué le compararé?
19 It is like a mustard-seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and ‘the wild birds roosted in its branches.’”
Semejante es al grano de la mostaza, que tomándo[lo] un hombre [le] metió en su huerto; y creció, y fué hecho árbol grande, y las aves del cielo hicieron nidos en sus ramas.
20 And again Jesus said: “To what can I liken the Kingdom of God?
Y otra vez dijo: ¿A qué compararé el reino de Dios?
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
Semejante es á la levadura, que tomó una mujer, y [la] escondió en tres medidas de harina, hasta que todo hubo fermentado.
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
Y pasaba por todas las ciudades y aldéas enseñando, y caminando á Jerusalem.
23 “Master,” some one asked, “are there but few in the path of Salvation?” And Jesus answered:
Y díjole uno: Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan? Y él les dijo:
24 “Strive to go in by the small door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
Porfiad á entrar por la puerta angosta: porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán.
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be — ‘I do not know where you come from.’
Despues que el padre de familias se levantare, y cerrare la puerta, y comenzaréis á estar fuera, y tocar á la puerta, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos: y respondiendo [él] os dirá: No os conozco de donde seais:
26 Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be —
Entónces comenzaréis á decir: Delante de tí hemos comido y bebido, y en nuestras plazas enseñaste.
27 ‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
Y [os] dirá: Dígoos que no os conozco de donde seais: apartáos de mí, todos los obreros de iniquidad.
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes, cuando viereis á Abraham, y á Isaac, y á Jacob, y á todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, y vosotros excluidos.
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
Y vendrán del Oriente y del Occidente, del Norte, y del Mediodia, y se sentarán á la mesa en el reino de Dios.
30 there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
Y hé aquí, que son postreros los que eran los primeros; y que son primeros los que eran los postreros.
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Aquel mismo dia llegaron unos de los Fariséos, diciéndoles: Sal y véte de aquí, porque Heródes te quiere matar.
32 But Jesus answered: “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and shall be completing cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall have done.’
Y les dijo: Id, y decid á aquella zorra: Hé aquí, echo fuera demonios, y acabo sanidades hoy y mañana, y al tercer dia soy consumado.
33 But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
Empero es menester que hoy, y mañana, y pasado mañana camine: porque no es posible que profeta muera fuera de Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her — Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
¡Jerusalem, Jerusalem! que matas los profetas, y apedreas los que son enviados á tí: ¡cuántas veces quise juntar tus hijos, como la gallina sus pollos debajo de [sus] alas, y no quisiste!
35 Verily your House is left to you desolate! and never, I tell you, shall you see me, until you say — ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Hé aquí os es dejada vuestra casa desierta: y os digo que no me veréis, hasta que venga [tiempo] cuando digais: Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor.
