1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 While John was in prison he heard what the Messiah was doing, so he sent his disciples 2 Y oyendo Juan en la prisión los hechos de Cristo, le envió dos de sus discípulos,
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3 to ask on his behalf, “Are you the one we were expecting to come, or should we continue to look for someone else?” 3 Diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go back and tell John what you hear and what you see. 4 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Id, y haced saber á Juan las cosas que oís y veis:
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 The blind can see, the crippled can walk, the lepers are healed, the deaf can hear, the dead are resurrected, and the poor hear the good news. 5 Los ciegos ven, y los cojos andan; los leprosos son limpiados, y los sordos oyen; los muertos son resucitados, y á los pobres es anunciado el evangelio.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 Blessed are those who don't reject me!” 6 Y bienaventurado es el que no fuere escandalizado en mí.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
7 As they left, Jesus began to talk to the crowds about John. “What were you expecting to see when you went out into the desert? A reed tossed about by the wind? 7 E idos ellos, comenzó Jesús á decir de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es meneada del viento?
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 So what did you go to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? People dressed like that live in kings' palaces. 8 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de delicados [vestidos]? He aquí, los que traen [vestidos] delicados, en las casas de los reyes están.
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 So what did you go to see then? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you he is much more than a prophet! 9 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? También os digo, y más que profeta.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 He's the one this Scripture was written about: ‘I'm sending my messenger on ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’ 10 Porque éste es de quien está escrito: He aquí, yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, que aparejará tu camino delante de ti.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
11 I tell you the truth, that among humanity there's no one greater than John the Baptist, but even the least important in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is. 11 De cierto os digo, [que] no se levantó entre los que nacen de mujeres otro mayor que Juan el Bautista; mas el que es muy más pequeño en el reino de los cielos, mayor es que él.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
12 From the time of John the Baptist up till now the kingdom of heaven continues to be under attack, and violent people are trying to seize it by force. 12 Desde los días de Juan el Bautista hasta ahora, al reino de los cielos se hace fuerza, y los valientes lo arrebatan.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law spoke for God until John came. 13 Porque todos los profetas y la ley hasta Juan profetizaron.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 If you're prepared to believe it, he is Elijah, the one who was expected to come. 14 Y si queréis recibir, él es aquel Elías que había de venir.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Anybody with ears should be listening! 15 El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 What shall I compare this generation to? It's like children sitting in the marketplaces shouting to each other, 16 Mas ¿á quién compararé esta generación? Es semejante á los muchachos que se sientan en las plazas, y dan voces á sus compañeros,
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 ‘We played the flute for you and you didn't dance; we sang sad songs and you didn't cry.’ 17 Y dicen: Os tañimos flauta, y no bailasteis; os endechamos, y no lamentasteis.
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
18 John didn't come feasting and drinking, so people say, ‘He's devil-possessed!’ 18 Porque vino Juan, que ni comía ni bebía, y dicen: Demonio tiene.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 On the other hand the Son of man came and did feast and drink, and people say, ‘Look, he's greedy and drinks too much; he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by what it does…” 19 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y dicen: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores. Mas la sabiduría es justificada por sus hijos.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
20 Then he began to reprimand the towns where he'd done most of his miracles because they had not repented. 20 Entonces comenzó á reconvenir á las ciudades en las cuales habían sido hechas muy muchas de sus maravillas, porque no se habían arrepentido, [diciendo]:
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
21 “Shame on you, Korazin! Shame on you, Bethsaida! If the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which happened among you, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago. 21 ¡Ay de ti, Corazín! ¡Ay de ti, Bethsaida! porque si en Tiro y en Sidón fueran hechas las maravillas que han sido hechas en vosotras, en otro tiempo se hubieran arrepentido en saco y en ceniza.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than it will for you! 22 Por tanto os digo, [que] á Tiro y á Sidón será más tolerable [el castigo] en el día del juicio, que á vosotras.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be exalted to heaven? No, you'll go down to Hades! If the miracles had been performed in Sodom which happened among you, Sodom would still be here today. 23 Y tú, Capernaum, que eres levantada hasta el cielo, hasta los infiernos serás abajada; porque si en los de Sodoma fueran hechas las maravillas que han sido hechas en ti, hubieran quedado hasta el día de hoy.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
24 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than it will for you!” 24 Por tanto os digo, [que] á la tierra de los de Sodoma será más tolerable [el castigo] en el día del juicio, que á ti.
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
25 Then Jesus prayed, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you've hidden these things from the clever and sophisticated. Instead you've revealed them to ordinary people. 25 En aquel tiempo, respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, que hayas escondido estas cosas de los sabios y de los entendidos, y las hayas revelado á los niños.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
26 Yes, Father, you were pleased to do this! 26 Así, Padre, pues que así agradó en tus ojos.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one really understands the Son, except the Father, and no one really understands the Father, except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 27 Todas las cosas me son entregadas de mi Padre: y nadie conoció al Hijo, sino el Padre; ni al Padre conoció alguno, sino el Hijo, y aquel á quien el Hijo [lo] quisiere revelar.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
28 Come to me, all of you who struggle and who are burdened down. I will give you rest. 28 Venid á mí todos los que estáis trabajados y cargados, que yo os haré descansar.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Accept my yoke, and learn from me. For I am kind and have a humble heart, and in me you will find the rest you need. 29 Llevad mi yugo sobre vosotros, y aprended de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón; y hallaréis descanso para vuestras almas.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is gentle, and my burden is light.” 30 Porque mi yugo es fácil, y ligera mi carga.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
