San Lucas 17
1 Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos: “Las tentaciones son inevitables, pero ¡cuán desastroso será para aquellos por medio de los cuales vienen las tentaciones!
And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come!
2 Para esas personas sería mejor que se colgaran un molino en su cuello y sean lanzados al mar antes que hacer pecar a uno de estos pequeños.
It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones.
3 Así que tengan cuidado con lo que hacen. Si tu hermano peca, adviértele de ello; y si se arrepiente, perdónalo.
Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.
4 Incluso si peca contra ti siete veces en un día, y siete veces regresa y te dice ‘lo siento mucho,’ perdónalo”.
And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”
5 Los apóstoles le dijeron al Señor: “¡Ayúdanos a tener más fe!”
And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 El señor respondió: “Incluso si su fe fuera tan pequeña como una semilla de mostaza, ustedes podrían decirle a este árbol de mora: ‘Desentiérrate y plántate en el mar,’ y los obedecería.
But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you.
7 “Supongan que tienen un siervo que hace labores de arado o pastoreo. Cuando regresa del trabajo, ¿le dicen ustedes ‘entra y siéntate a comer’?
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’
8 No. Ustedes le dicen: ‘Prepárame una comida, vístete y sírveme hasta que haya terminado de comer. Después de eso puedes comer tú’.
and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’
9 Y luego, ¿agradecen al siervo por hacer lo que le pidieron que hiciera? No.
Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
10 De la misma manera, cuando ustedes hayan hecho todo lo que se les encargó, simplemente digan: ‘Somos siervos indignos. Solo cumplimos con nuestro deber’”.
I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’”
11 Mientras continuaba de camino hacia Jerusalén, Jesús pasó por la frontera entre Samaria y Galilea.
And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Cuando llegó a cierta aldea, diez leprosos fueron a su encuentro, y se quedaron a la distancia.
And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
13 Y desde allí le gritaron: “Jesús, Maestro, por favor, ten misericordia de nosotros”.
And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
14 Cuando Jesús los vio, les dijo: “Vayan y preséntense ante los sacerdotes”. Y mientras iban de camino, fueron sanados.
And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
15 Uno de ellos, cuando vio que estaba sano, regresó donde Jesús, exclamando alabanzas a Dios.
And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
16 Entonces se arrodilló ante los pies de Jesús, agradeciéndole. Y era un samaritano.
And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
17 “¿No fueron sanados diez leprosos?” preguntó Jesús. “¿Dónde están los otros nueve?
And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
18 ¿No hubo ninguno que quisiera venir y alabar a Dios excepto este extranjero?”
Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19 Entonces Jesús le dijo al hombre: “Levántate y sigue tu camino. Tu fe te ha sanado”.
And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”
20 En cierta ocasión, cuando los fariseos vinieron y le preguntaron cuándo vendría el reino de Dios, Jesús respondió: “El reino de Dios no viene con señales visibles que ustedes puedan ver.
Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.
21 La gente no andará por ahí diciendo: ‘Miren, está aquí’ o ‘Miren, está allá,’ porque el reino de Dios está entre ustedes”.
And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
22 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Viene el tiempo cuando ustedes anhelarán ver el día en que venga el Hijo del hombre, pero no lo verán.
And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see it.
23 Ellos les dirán: ‘Miren, allí está,’ o ‘miren, está aquí,’ pero no vayan detrás de ellos.
And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.
24 El día en que venga el Hijo del hombre será como el resplandor de un rayo en el cielo, que va de un lado al otro.
For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.
25 Pero primero él tendrá que sufrir muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por esta generación.
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 El tiempo cuando venga el Hijo del hombre será como los días de Noé.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of man.
27 La gente seguía comiendo y bebiendo, casándose y dándose en casamiento hasta el día en que Noé entró al arca. Entonces vino el diluvio y los destruyó a todos.
They were eating and drinking; they were taking wives and being given in marriage, even until the day that Noah entered the ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Será como en los días de Lot. La gente seguía comiendo y bebiendo, comprando y vendiendo, plantando y construyendo.
It shall be similar to what happened in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking; they were buying and selling; they were planting and building.
29 Pero el día que Lot partió de Sodoma, llovió fuego y azufre del cielo y los destruyó a todos.
Then, on the day that Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.
30 “El día que el Hijo del hombre aparezca será así.
According to these things, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will be revealed.
31 Así que si ustedes están arriba en el tejado ese día, no desciendan a recoger sus cosas; y si están afuera en el campo, tampoco regresen a la casa.
In that hour, whoever will be on the rooftop, with his goods in the house, let him not descend to take them. And whoever will be in the field, similarly, let him not turn back.
32 ¡Acuérdense de la esposa de Lot!
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Si ustedes tratan de aferrarse a sus vidas, la perderán; pero si pierden su vida, la salvarán.
Whoever has sought to save his life, will lose it; and whoever has lost it, will bring it back to life.
34 Les aseguro que en ese tiempo habrá dos personas en una cama; una será tomada y la otra será dejada.
I say to you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.
35 Habrá dos mujeres moliendo trigo, una será tomada, y la otra será dejada”.
Two will be at the grindstone together. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind. Two will be in the field. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.”
Responding, they said to him, “Where, Lord?”
37 “¿Dónde, Señor?” preguntaron ellos. “Donde está el cadáver se amontonan los buitres”, respondió Jesús.
And he said to them, “Wherever the body will be, in that place also, the eagles shall be gathered together.”
