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 that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
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.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Andad, hé aquí yo os envio como á corderos en medio de lobos.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 No lleveis bolsa, ni alforja, ni calzado; y á nadie saludeis en el camino.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 En cualquier casa donde entrareis primeramente decid: Paz [sea] á esta casa.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Y si hubiere allí algun hijo de paz vuestra paz reposará sobre él: y si no, se volverá á vosotros.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
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.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 Y en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis? y os recibieren, comed lo que os pusieren delante;
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Y sanad los enfermos que en ella hubiere; y decidles: Se ha llegado á vosotros el reino de Dios.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Mas en cualquier ciudad donde entrareis, y no os recibieren, saliendo por sus calles, decid:
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] 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.
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Y os digo que los de Sodoma tendrán más remision aquel dia, que aquella ciudad.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
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.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Por tanto Tiro y Sidon tendrán más remision que vosotras en el juicio.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 Y tú, Capernaum, que hasta los cielos estás levantada, hasta los infiernos serás abajada. (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (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.
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Y volvieron los setenta con gozo, diciendo: Señor, aun los demonios se nos sujetan en tu nombre.
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Y les dijo: Yo veia á Satanás, como un rayo, que caia del cielo.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
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.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
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.
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
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 time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
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.
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Y vuelto particularmente á [sus] discípulos, dijo: Bienaventurados los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis;
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
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.
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Y hé aquí, un doctor de la ley se levantó tentándole, y diciendo: Maestro, ¿haciendo qué cosa poseeré la vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Y él le dijo: ¿Qué esta escrito en la ley? ¿Cómo lees?
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
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.
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 Y díjole. Bien has respondido: haz esto, y vivirás.
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Mas él, queriéndose justificar á sí mismo, dijo á Jesus: ¿Y quién es mi prójimo?
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
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.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Y aconteció, que descendió un sacerdote por el mismo camino; y viéndole se pasó de un lado.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Y asimismo un Levita llegando cerca de aquel lugar, y viéndole, se pasó de un lado.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Mas un Samaritano que transitaba, viniendo cerca de él, y viéndole, fué movido á misericordia;
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
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 over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took 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 morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 ¿Quién, pues, de estos tres te parece que fué el prójimo de aquel que cayó en [manos de] los ladrones?
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Y él dijo: El que usó con él de misericordia. Entónces Jesus le dijo: Vé y haz tú lo mismo.
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Y aconteció, que yendo, entró él en una aldéa; y una mujer, llamada Marta, le recibió en su casa:
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Y esta tenia una hermana, que se llamaba María, la cual sentándose á los piés del Señor, oia su palabra.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was 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 very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Pero respondiendo Jesus, le dijo: Marta, Marta, cuidadosa estás, y con las muchas cosas estás turbada:
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Empero una cosa es necesaria; y María escogió la buena parte, la cual no le será quitada.
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
