RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, arriving from Jerusalem, gathered together before him.

1 Y SE juntaron á él los Fariseos, y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusalem;

2 And when they had seen certain ones from his disciples eating bread with common hands, that is, with unwashed hands, they disparaged them.

2 Los cuales, viendo á algunos de sus discípulos comer pan con manos comunes, es á saber, no lavadas, [los] condenaban.

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat without repeatedly washing their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders.

3 (Porque los Fariseos y todos los Judíos, teniendo la tradición de los ancianos, si muchas veces no se lavan las manos, no comen.

4 And when returning from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other things which have been handed down to them to observe: the washings of cups, and pitchers, and bronze containers, and beds.

4 Y [volviendo] de la plaza, si no se lavaren, no comen. Y otras muchas cosas hay, que tomaron para guardar, como las lavaduras de los vasos [de beber], y de los jarros, y de los vasos de metal, y de los lechos.)

5 And so the Pharisees and the scribes questioned him: “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat bread with common hands?”

5 Y le preguntaron los Fariseos y los escribas: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no andan conforme á la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos comunes?

6 But in response, he said to them: “So well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, just as it has been written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

6 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, como está escrito: Este pueblo con los labios me honra, mas su corazón lejos está de mí.

7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and precepts of men.’

7 Y en vano me honran, enseñando [como] doctrinas mandamientos de hombres.

8 For abandoning the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men, to the washing of pitchers and cups. And you do many other things similar to these.”

8 Porque dejando el mandamiento de Dios, tenéis la tradición de los hombres; las lavaduras de los jarros y de los vasos [de beber]: y hacéis otras muchas cosas semejantes.

9 And he said to them: “You effectively nullify the precept of God, so that you may observe your own tradition.

9 Les decía también: Bien invalidáis el mandamiento de Dios para guardar vuestra tradición.

10 For Moses said: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother, let him die a death.’

10 Porque Moisés dijo: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre, y: El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, morirá de muerte.

11 But you say, ‘If a man will have said to his father or mother: Korban, (which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,’

11 Y vosotros decís: [Basta] si dijere un hombre al padre ó la madre: [Es] Corbán (quiere decir, don [mío á Dios]) todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;

12 then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother,

12 Y no le dejáis hacer más por su padre ó por su madre,

13 rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way.”

13 Invalidando la palabra de Dios con vuestra tradición que disteis: y muchas cosas hacéis semejantes á éstas.

14 And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: “Listen to me, all of you, and understand.

14 Y llamando á toda la multitud, les dijo: Oidme todos, y entended:

15 There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which proceed from a man, these are what pollute a man.

15 Nada hay fuera del hombre que entre en él, que le pueda contaminar: mas lo que sale de él, aquello es lo que contamina al hombre.

16 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

16 Si alguno tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

17 And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.

17 Y [apartado] de la multitud, habiendo entrado en casa, le preguntaron sus discípulos sobre la parábola.

18 And he said to them: “So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?

18 Y díjoles: ¿También vosotros estáis así sin entendimiento? ¿No entendéis que todo lo de fuera que entra en el hombre, no le puede contaminar;

19 For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods.”

19 Porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el vientre, y sale á la secreta? [Esto decía], haciendo limpias todas las viandas.

20 “But,” he said “the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.

20 Mas decía, que lo que del hombre sale, aquello contamina al hombre.

21 For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

21 Porque de dentro, del corazón de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los homicidios,

22 thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.

22 Los hurtos, las avaricias, las maldades, el engaño, las desvergüenzas, el ojo maligno, las injurias, la soberbia, la insensatez.

23 All these evils proceed from within and pollute a man.”

23 Todas estas maldades de dentro salen, y contaminan al hombre.

24 And rising up, he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, he intended no one to know about it, but he was not able to remain hidden.

24 Y levantándose de allí, se fué á los términos de Tiro y de Sidón; y entrando en casa, quiso que nadie [lo] supiese; mas no pudo esconderse.

25 For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, as soon as she heard about him, entered and fell prostrate at his feet.

25 Porque una mujer, cuya hija tenía un espíritu inmundo, luego que oyó de él, vino y se echó á sus pies.

26 For the woman was a Gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician. And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.

26 Y la mujer era Griega, Sirofenisa de nación; y le rogaba que echase fuera de su hija al demonio.

27 And he said to her: “First allow the sons to have their fill. For it is not good to take away the bread of the sons and throw it to the dogs.”

27 Mas Jesús le dijo: Deja primero hartarse los hijos, porque no es bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo á los perrillos.

28 But she responded by saying to him: “Certainly, Lord. Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children.”

28 Y respondió ella, y le dijo: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perrillos debajo de la mesa, comen de las migajas de los hijos.

29 And he said to her, “Because of this saying, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”

29 Entonces le dice: Por esta palabra, ve; el demonio ha salido de tu hija.

30 And when she had gone to her house, she found the girl lying on the bed; and the demon had gone away.

30 Y como fué á su casa, halló que el demonio había salido, y á la hija echada sobre la cama.

31 And again, departing from the borders of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.

31 Y volviendo á salir de los términos de Tiro, vino por Sidón á la mar de Galilea, por mitad de los términos de Decápolis.

32 And they brought someone who was deaf and mute to him. And they begged him, so that he would lay his hand upon him.

32 Y le traen un sordo y tartamudo, y le ruegan que le ponga la mano encima.

33 And taking him away from the crowd, he put his fingers into his ears; and spitting, he touched his tongue.

33 Y tomándole aparte de la gente, metió sus dedos en las orejas de él, y escupiendo, tocó su lengua;

34 And gazing up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: “Ephphatha,” which is, “Be opened.”

34 Y mirando al cielo, gimió, y le dijo: Ephphatha: que es [decir]: Sé abierto.

35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke correctly.

35 Y luego fueron abiertos sus oídos, y fué desatada la ligadura de su lengua, y hablaba bien.

36 And he instructed them not to tell anyone. But as much as he instructed them, so much more did they preach about it.

36 Y les mandó que no lo dijesen á nadie; pero cuanto más les mandaba, tanto más y más lo divulgaban.

37 And so much more did they wonder, saying: “He has done all things well. He has caused both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

37 Y en gran manera se maravillaban, diciendo: Bien lo ha hecho todo: hace á los sordos oir, y á los mudos hablar.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
