Mateo 19

And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these words, he moved away from Galilee, and he arrived within the borders of Judea, across the Jordan.

Y ACONTECIÓ que acabando Jesús estas palabras, se pasó de Galilea, y vino á los términos de Judea, pasado el Jordán.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

And great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

Y le siguieron muchas gentes, y los sanó allí.

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

And the Pharisees approached him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the cause?”

Entonces se llegaron á él los Fariseos, tentándole, y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al hombre repudiar á su mujer por cualquiera causa?

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said:

Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que los hizo al principio, macho y hembra los hizo,

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

“For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.

Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?

And so, now they are not two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”

Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no lo aparte el hombre.

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

They said to him, “Then why did Moses command him to give a bill of divorce, and to separate?”

Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”

He said to them: “Although Moses permitted you to separate from your wives, due to the hardness of your heart, it was not that way from the beginning.

Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

And I say to you, that whoever will have separated from his wife, except because of fornication, and who will have married another, commits adultery, and whoever will have married her who has been separated, commits adultery.”

Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

His disciples said to him, “If such is the case for a man with a wife, then it is not expedient to marry.”

Dícenle sus discípulos: Si así es la condición del hombre con su mujer, no conviene casarse.

His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

And he said to them: “Not everyone is able to grasp this word, but only those to whom it has been given.

Entonces él les dijo: No todos reciben esta palabra, sino aquellos á quienes es dado.

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

For there are chaste persons who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are chaste persons who have been made so by men, and there are chaste persons who have made themselves chaste for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to grasp this, let him grasp it.”

Porque hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre; y hay eunucos, que son hechos eunucos por los hombres; y hay eunucos que se hicieron á sí mismos eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos; el que pueda ser capaz de eso, séalo.

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

Then they brought to him little children, so that he would place his hands upon them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.

Entonces le fueron presentados unos niños, para que pusiese las manos sobre ellos, y orase; y los discípulos les riñeron.

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”

Y Jesús dijo: Dejad á los niños, y no les impidáis de venir á mí; porque de los tales es el reino de los cielos.

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

And when he had imposed his hands upon them, he went away from there.

Y habiendo puesto sobre ellos las manos, se partió de allí.

And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

And behold, someone approached and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good should I do, so that I may have eternal life?”

Y he aquí, uno llegándose le dijo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué bien haré para tener la vida eterna?

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

And he said to him: “Why do you question me about what is good? One is good: God. But if you wish to enter into life, observe the commandments.”

Y él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno es bueno sino uno, es á saber, Dios: y si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos.

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said: “You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony.

Dícele: ¿Cuáles? Y Jesús dijo: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio:

He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

Honor your father and your mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Honra á tu padre y á tu madre: y, Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

The young man said to him: “All these I have kept from my childhood. What is still lacking for me?”

Dícele el mancebo: Todo esto guardé desde mi juventud: ¿qué más me falta?

The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

Jesus said to him: “If you are willing to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”

Dícele Jesús: Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes, y dalo á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

Y oyendo el mancebo esta palabra, se fué triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, that the wealthy shall enter with difficulty into the kingdom of heaven.

Entonces Jesús dijo á sus discípulos: De cierto os digo, que un rico difícilmente entrará en el reino de los cielos.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Mas os digo, que más liviano trabajo es pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

And upon hearing this, the disciples wondered greatly, saying: “Then who will be able to be saved?”

Mas sus discípulos, oyendo estas cosas, se espantaron en gran manera, diciendo: ¿Quién pues podrá ser salvo?

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

But Jesus, gazing at them, said to them: “With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.”

Y mirándolos Jesús, les dijo: Para con los hombres imposible es esto; mas para con Dios todo es posible.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Then Peter responded by saying to him: “Behold, we have left behind all things, and we have followed you. So then, what will be for us?”

Entonces respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado todo, y te hemos seguido: ¿qué pues tendremos?

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”

And Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that at the resurrection, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, those of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo, que vosotros que me habéis seguido, en la regeneración, cuando se sentará el Hijo del hombre en el trono de su gloria, vosotros también os sentaréis sobre doce tronos, para juzgar á las doce tribus de Israel.

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And anyone who has left behind home, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for the sake of my name, shall receive one hundred times more, and shall possess eternal life.

Y cualquiera que dejare casas, ó hermanos, ó hermanas, ó padre, ó madre, ó mujer, ó hijos, ó tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces tanto, y heredará la vida eterna.

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

But many of those who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”

Mas muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros primeros.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
