Marcos 12

And he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.

Y COMENZÓ á hablarles por parábolas: Plantó un hombre una viña, y la cercó con seto, y cavó un lagar, y edificó una torre, y la arrendó á labradores, y se partió lejos.

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect some of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.

Y envió un siervo á los labradores, al tiempo, para que tomase de los labradores del fruto de la viña.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

And they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Mas ellos, tomándole, le hirieron, y le enviaron vacío.

And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent to them another slave, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored.

Y volvió á enviarles otro siervo; mas apedreándole, le hirieron en la cabeza, y volvieron á enviarle afrentado.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

And he sent another, and that one they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they beat and some of whom they killed.

Y volvió á enviar otro, y á aquél mataron; y á otros muchos, hiriendo á unos y matando á otros.

And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.

He had one more, a beloved son. Last of all he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

Teniendo pues aún un hijo suyo amado, enviólo también á ellos el postrero, diciendo: Tendrán en reverencia á mi hijo.

Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’

Mas aquellos labradores dijeron entre sí: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle, y la heredad será nuestra.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

And they seized and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

Y prendiéndole, le mataron, y echaron fuera de la viña.

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.

¿Qué, pues, hará el señor de la viña? Vendrá, y destruirá á estos labradores, y dará su viña á otros.

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

Have you not read this scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become ⌞the cornerstone⌟.

¿Ni aun esta Escritura habéis leído: La piedra que desecharon los que edificaban, ésta es puesta por cabeza de esquina;

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.

This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

Por el Señor es hecho esto, y es cosa maravillosa en nuestros ojos?

This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”

And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him and went away.

Y procuraban prenderle, porque entendían que decía á ellos aquella parábola; mas temían á la multitud; y dejándole, se fueron.

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.

And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement.

Y envían á él algunos de los Fariseos y de los Herodianos, para que le sorprendiesen en alguna palabra.

And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

And when they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and ⌞you do not care what anyone thinks⌟, ⌞because you do not regard the opinion of people⌟ but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?”

Y viniendo ellos, le dicen: Maestro, sabemos que eres hombre de verdad, y que no te cuidas de nadie; porque no miras á la apariencia de hombres, antes con verdad enseñas el camino de Dios: ¿Es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no? ¿Daremos, ó no daremos?

And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?

When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

But because he knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”

Entonces él, como entendía la hipocresía de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis? Traedme la moneda para que la vea.

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

So they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.”

Y ellos se la trajeron y les dice: ¿Cúya es esta imagen y esta inscripción? Y ellos le dijeron: De César.

And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.

They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

And Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!” And they were utterly amazed at him.

Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Dad lo que es de César á César; y lo que es de Dios, á Dios. Y se maravillaron de ello.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.

Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

And Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and began to ask him, saying,

Entonces vienen á él los Saduceos, que dicen que no hay resurrección, y le preguntaron, diciendo:

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone’s brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and ⌞father⌟ descendants for his brother.

Maestro, Moisés nos escribió, que si el hermano de alguno muriese, y dejase mujer, y no dejase hijos, que su hermano tome su mujer, y levante linaje á su hermano.

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And when he died, he did not leave descendants.

Fueron siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y muriendo, no dejó simiente;

Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise.

Y la tomó el segundo, y murió, y ni aquél tampoco dejó simiente; y el tercero, de la misma manera.

And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died.

Y la tomaron los siete, y tampoco dejaron simiente: á la postre murió también la mujer.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

In the resurrection, when they rise, ⌞whose⌟ wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.

En la resurrección, pues, cuando resucitaren, ¿de cuál de ellos será mujer? porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

Jesus said to them, “Are you not deceived because of this, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?

Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: ¿No erráis por eso, porque no sabéis las Escrituras, ni la potencia de Dios?

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Porque cuando resucitarán de los muertos, ni se casarán, ni serán dados en casamiento, mas son como los ángeles que están en los cielos.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses ⌞in the passage about the bush⌟ how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?

Y de que los muertos hayan de resucitar, ¿no habéis leído en el libro de Moisés cómo le habló Dios en la zarza, diciendo: Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob?

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!”

No es Dios de muertos, mas Dios de vivos; así que vosotros mucho erráis.

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

And one of the scribes came up and heard them debating. When he saw that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Y llegándose uno de los escribas, que los había oído disputar, y sabía que les había respondido bien, le preguntó: ¿Cuál es el primer mandamiento de todos?

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Y Jesús le respondió: El primer mandamiento de todos es: Oye, Israel, el Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor uno es.

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’

Amarás pues al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente, y de todas tus fuerzas; este es el principal mandamiento.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Y el segundo es semejante á él: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo. No hay otro mandamiento mayor que éstos.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

And the scribe said to him, “That is true, Teacher. You have said ⌞correctly⌟ that he is one and there is no other except him.

Entonces el escriba le dijo: Bien, Maestro, verdad has dicho, que uno es Dios, y no hay otro fuera de él;

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;

And to love him from your whole heart and from your whole understanding and from your whole strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Y que amarle de todo corazón, y de todo entendimiento, y de toda el alma, y de todas las fuerzas, y amar al prójimo como á sí mismo, más es que todos los holocaustos y sacrificios.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

And Jesus, when he saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.

Jesús entonces, viendo que había respondido sabiamente, le dice: No estás lejos del reino de Dios. Y ya ninguno osaba preguntarle.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.

And continuing, Jesus said while teaching in the temple courts, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is David’s son?

Y respondiendo Jesús decía, enseñando en el templo: ¿Cómo dicen los escribas que el Cristo es hijo de David?

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

David himself said by the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’

Porque el mismo David dijo por el Espíritu Santo: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, hasta que ponga tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.

For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.

Luego llamándole el mismo David Señor, ¿de dónde, pues, es su hijo? Y los que eran del común del pueblo le oían de buena gana.

David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces

Y les decía en su doctrina: Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas,

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,

Y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,

who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”

Que devoran las casas de las viudas, y por pretexto hacen largas oraciones. Estos recibirán mayor juicio.

Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

And he sat down opposite the contribution box and was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many coins.

Y estando sentado Jesús delante del arca de la ofrenda, miraba cómo el pueblo echaba dinero en el arca: y muchos ricos echaban mucho.

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

And one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins (that is, a penny).

Y como vino una viuda pobre, echó dos blancas, que son un maravedí.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.

And summoning his disciples, he said to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put offerings into the contribution box.

Entonces llamando á sus discípulos, les dice: De cierto os digo que esta viuda pobre echó más que todos los que han echado en el arca:

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

For they all ⌞contributed⌟ out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everything she had, her whole means of subsistence.”

Porque todos han echado de lo que les sobra; mas ésta, de su pobreza echó todo lo que tenía, todo su alimento.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
