San Lucas 10
1 Y DESPUES de estas cosas, designó el Señor aun otros setenta, los cuales envió de dos en dos, delante de sí, á toda ciudad y lugar á donde él habia de venir.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 Y les decia: La mies á la verdad [es] mucha, mas los obreros pocos: por tanto rogad al Señor de la mies que envie obreros á su mies.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send laborers to gather in his harvest.
3 Andad, hé aquí yo os envio como á corderos en medio de lobos.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 No lleveis bolsa, ni alforja, ni calzado; y á nadie saludeis en el camino.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 En cualquier casa donde entrareis primeramente decid: Paz [sea] á esta casa.
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Y si hubiere allí algun hijo de paz vuestra paz reposará sobre él: y si no, se volverá á vosotros.
Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
7 Y posad en aquella misma casa comiendo y bebiendo lo que os dieren; porque el obrero digno es de su salario. No [os] paseis de casa en casa.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Y en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis? y os recibieren, comed lo que os pusieren delante;
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 Y sanad los enfermos que en ella hubiere; y decidles: Se ha llegado á vosotros el reino de Dios.
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Mas en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis, y no os recibieren, saliendo por sus calles, decid:
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 Aun el polvo que se nos ha pegado de vuestra ciudad á nuestros piés, sacudimos en vosotros: esto empero sabed, que el reino de los cielos se ha llegado á vosotros.
‘We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 Y os digo que los de Sodoma tendrán más remision aquel dia, que aquella ciudad.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
13 ¡Ay de tí, Corazin! ¡Ay de tí, Bethsaida! que si en Tiro y en Sidon hubieran sido hechas las maravillas que se han hecho en vosotras, ya dias ha que, sentados en cilicio y ceniza, se habrian arrepentido.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Por tanto Tiro y Sidon tendrán más remision que vosotras en el juicio.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
15 Y tú, Capernaum, que hasta los cielos estás levantada, hasta los infiernos serás abajada. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 El que á vosotros oye, á mí oye; y el que á vosotros desecha, á mí desecha; y el que á mí desecha, desecha al que me envió.
Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.”
17 Y volvieron los setenta con gozo, diciendo: Señor, aun los demonios se nos sujetan en tu nombre.
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Y les dijo: Yo veia á Satanás, como un rayo, que caia del cielo.
And Jesus replied, “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Hé aquí os doy potestad de hollar sobre las serpientes y sobre los escorpiones, y sobre toda fuerza del enemigo; y nada os dañará.
Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
20 Mas no os goceis de esto, [á saber, ] que los espíritus se os sujetan; ántes gozáos de que vuestros nombres están escritos en los cielos.
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.”
21 En aquella misma hora Jesus se alegró en espíritu, y dijo: Yo te alabo, oh Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, que escondiste estas cosas á los sabios entendidos, y las has revelado á los pequeños: así Padre, porque así te agradó.
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
22 Todas las cosas me son entregadas de mi Padre: y nadie sabe quién sea el Hijo, sino el Padre; ni quién sea el Padre, sino el Hijo, y á quien el Hijo lo quisiere revelar.
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.”
23 Y vuelto particularmente á [sus] discípulos, dijo: Bienaventurados los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis;
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Porque os digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no [lo] vieron; y oir lo que oís, y no [lo] oyeron.
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 Y hé aquí, un doctor de la ley se levantó tentándole, y diciendo: Maestro, ¿haciendo qué cosa poseeré la vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)
Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Y él le dijo: ¿Qué esta escrito en la ley? ¿Cómo lees?
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 Y él respondiendo, dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazon, y de toda tu alma, y de todas tus fuerzas, y de todo tu entendimiento; y á tu projimo, como á tí mismo.
His reply was – “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as you love yourself.”
28 Y díjole. Bien has respondido: haz esto, y vivirás.
“You have answered right,” said Jesus, “Do that, and you will live.”
29 Mas él, queriéndose justificar á sí mismo, dijo á Jesus: ¿Y quién es mi prójimo?
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Y respondiendo Jesus, dijo: Un hombre descendia de Jerusalem á Jericó, y cayó en [manos de] ladrones, los cuales le despojaron, é hiriéndole, se fueron dejándole medio muerto.
To which Jesus replied, “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Y aconteció, que descendió un sacerdote por el mismo camino; y viéndole se pasó de un lado.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Y asimismo un Levita llegando cerca de aquel lugar, y viéndole, se pasó de un lado.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Mas un Samaritano que transitaba, viniendo cerca de él, y viéndole, fué movido á misericordia;
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Y llegándose, vendó sus heridas echándo[le] aceite y vino: y poniéndole sobre su cabalgadura, llevólo al meson, y cuidó de él.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Y otro dia al partir, sacó dos denarios, y diólos al huésped, y le dijo: Cuídamele; y todo lo que demás gastares, yo cuando vuelva te [lo] pagaré.
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 ¿Quién, pues, de estos tres te parece que fué el prójimo de aquel que cayó en [manos de] los ladrones?
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Y él dijo: El que usó con él de misericordia. Entónces Jesus le dijo: Vé y haz tú lo mismo.
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; at which Jesus said, “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 Y aconteció, que yendo, entró él en una aldéa; y una mujer, llamada Marta, le recibió en su casa:
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Y esta tenia una hermana, que se llamaba María, la cual sentándose á los piés del Señor, oia su palabra.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Empero Marta se distraia en muchos servicios; y sobreviniendo, dice: Señor, ¿no tienes cuidado que mi hermana me deja servir sola? Díle, pues, que me ayude.
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 Pero respondiendo Jesus, le dijo: Marta, Marta, cuidadosa estás, y con las muchas cosas estás turbada:
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 Empero una cosa es necesaria; y María escogió la buena parte, la cual no le será quitada.
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.”
