< San Lucas 8 >

1 Él iba por ciudades y aldeas. Predicaba y proclamaba las Buenas Noticias del reino de Dios. Lo acompañaban los 12
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 y algunas mujeres que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malignos y de enfermedades: María Magdalena, de quien habían salido siete demonios,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 Juana, esposa de Chuza, mayordomo de Herodes, Susana y muchas otras que les servían de sus propiedades.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered to him of their substance.
4 Cuando se reunió una gran multitud que acudió a Él de cada ciudad, les habló por medio de una parábola.
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 El sembrador salió a sembrar su semilla. Una [parte] cayó junto al camino, fue pisoteada, y las aves del cielo la comieron.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Otra [parte] cayó sobre la roca, y al brotar se secó por no tener humedad.
And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 Otra [parte] cayó en medio de las espinas, y cuando creció juntamente con las espinas, la ahogaron.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 Otra [parte] cayó en la buena tierra, y cuando creció, produjo fruto a ciento por uno. Al decir estas cosas, exclamaba: ¡El que tiene oídos para oír, escuche!
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundred times. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Sus discípulos le preguntaban el significado de esta parábola.
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 Él contestó: A ustedes les fue dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios, pero a los demás, por parábolas, para que al ver no miren y al oír no entiendan.
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Esta es, pues, la parábola: La semilla es la Palabra de Dios.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 La parte que cayó junto al camino son los que oyeron. Luego viene el diablo y quita la Palabra de sus corazones para que no crean y sean salvos.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 La parte que cayó sobre la roca son los que, cuando oyen, reciben la Palabra con gozo, pero no tienen raíz. Creen por un tiempo, pero cuando llega la prueba [se] apartan.
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 La [parte] que cayó entre las espinas son los que oyeron, pero al seguir su camino, son ahogados por preocupaciones, riquezas y placeres de la vida, y no producen fruto.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Pero la [parte] que cae en la buena tierra son los que oyeron la Palabra con corazón recto y bueno, y producen fruto con perseverancia.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 El que enciende una lámpara no la cubre con una vasija ni [la] mete debajo de la cama, sino la pone sobre un candelero para que los que entran tengan luz.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 Porque no hay secreto que no se revele, ni [algo] escondido que de ningún modo sea conocido y salga a la luz.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Consideren, pues, lo que oyen, porque al que tenga, le será dado, y al que no tenga, aun lo que supone tener le será quitado.
Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 Entonces llegaron la madre y los hermanos de Jesús, pero no podían acercarse a Él por causa de la multitud.
Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come at him for the press.
20 Y le informaron: Tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera y desean verte.
And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to see you.
21 Él respondió: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen y practican la Palabra de Dios.
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Un día Él entró en una barca con sus discípulos y les dijo: Pasemos al otro lado del lago. Y salieron al mar.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Pero mientras navegaban, se quedó dormido. Una tempestad de viento descendió sobre el lago. Eran anegados y tenían peligro.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Entonces lo despertaron y le dijeron: ¡Maestro, Maestro! ¡Perecemos! Y Él reprendió el viento y las olas. Cesaron y hubo calma.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Les preguntó: ¿Dónde está su fe? Atemorizados y asombrados, se preguntaban unos a otros: ¿Quién es Éste que aun manda a los vientos y al agua, y le obedecen?
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 Navegaron hacia la región de los gerasenos, en la ribera opuesta a Galilea.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Llegaron a la tierra. De la ciudad les salió al encuentro un varón que tenía demonios, y por mucho tiempo no llevaba ropa ni vivía en una casa, sino entre las tumbas.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither stayed in any house, but in the tombs.
28 Cuando vio a Jesús, se postró ante Él y clamó con gran voz: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te ruego que no me atormentes.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29 Porque mandaba al espíritu impuro que saliera del hombre, pues por mucho tiempo se había apoderado de él violentamente. Lo ataban con cadenas y grillos, y lo mantenían bajo guardia. Al romper las cadenas era impulsado por el demonio hacia los lugares desolados.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 Jesús le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y él respondió: Legión, porque muchos demonios entraron en él.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 Le rogaban que no los mandara al abismo. (Abyssos g12)
And they sought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Había allí una piara de muchos cerdos que eran atendidos en la colina. Y le rogaron que les permitiera entrar en ellos, y les permitió.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they sought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Entonces, al salir los demonios del hombre, entraron en los cerdos. La piara salió precipitada por el despeñadero al lago y se ahogó.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 Al ver lo sucedido, los que cuidaban los cerdos huyeron e informaron en la ciudad y por las granjas.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Salieron a ver lo sucedido y fueron a Jesús. Hallaron al hombre de quien salieron los demonios vestido y en su juicio cabal, sentado a los pies de Jesús. Y se llenaron de temor.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 Los que vieron les contaron cómo el endemoniado fue sanado.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Pero todos los de la región de los gerasenos le rogaron a Jesús que se fuera de su región, pues estaban atemorizados. Él entró en la barca y regresó.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about sought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 El hombre de quien salieron los demonios le rogaba [que le permitiera ]estar con Él. Pero lo despidió y le dijo:
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed sought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Regresa a tu casa y anuncia cuán grandes cosas te hizo Dios. Salió y proclamaba por toda la ciudad las grandes cosas que Jesús le hizo.
Return to your own house, and show how great things God has done to you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Al regresar Jesús, la multitud le dio la bienvenida, pues todos lo esperaban.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 Llegó un hombre llamado Jairo quien era un oficial de la congregación. Se postró a los pies de Jesús y le rogaba que fuera a su casa,
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and sought him that he would come into his house:
42 porque su única hija, como de 12 años, estaba a punto de morir. Cuando Él iba, la multitud lo apretujaba.
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 Una mujer que había tenido flujo de sangre por 12 años, quien no pudo ser sanada por alguno,
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 se acercó por detrás y tocó el borde de la ropa de Jesús. De inmediato cesó su flujo de sangre.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 Y Jesús preguntó: ¿Quién me tocó? Y al negar todos, Pedro dijo: Maestro, la multitud te apretuja y te oprime.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and say you, Who touched me?
46 Pero Jesús contestó: Alguien me tocó, porque Yo comprendí que salió poder de Mí.
And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 Entonces la mujer, cuando entendió que la había descubierto, fue temblorosa y se postró ante Él. Confesó delante de todo el pueblo por qué lo tocó, y que fue sanada al instante.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Entonces Él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te sanó. Vé en paz.
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 Mientras Él aún hablaba, apareció uno de parte del oficial de la congregación quien dijo: Tu hija murió. Ya no molestes al Maestro.
While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 Pero al oírlo, Jesús le dijo: No temas. Solo cree y será sanada.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 Al entrar en la casa, a ninguno permitió entrar con Él, sino a Pedro, Juan, Jacobo y los padres de la joven.
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 Todos lloraban y se lamentaban por ella. Pero Él dijo: No lloren, porque no murió, sino duerme.
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 [Como estaban ]convencidos de que murió, se burlaban de Él.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Pero Él tomó la mano de la niña y clamó: ¡Niña, levántate!
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 El espíritu volvió a ella, y en seguida [se] levantó. [Jesús] ordenó que se le diera de comer.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 Los padres de la niña quedaron asombrados, pero Él les ordenó que a nadie dijeran lo sucedido.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
