1EN aquel tiempo se llegaron los discípulos á Jesús, diciendo: ¿Quién es el mayor en el reino de los cielos?
1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2Y llamando Jesús á un niño, le puso en medio de ellos,
2Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3Y dijo: De cierto os digo, que si no os volviereis, y fuereis como niños, no entraréis en el reino de los cielos.
3and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4Así que, cualquiera que se humillare como este niño, éste es el mayor en el reino de los cielos.
4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5Y cualquiera que recibiere á un tal niño en mi nombre, á mí recibe.
5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6Y cualquiera que escandalizare á alguno de estos pequeños que creen en mí, mejor le fuera que se le colgase al cuello una piedra de molino de asno, y que se le anegase en el profundo de la mar.
6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7¡Ay del mundo por los escándalos! porque necesario es que vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por el cual viene el escándalo!
7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8Por tanto, si tu mano ó tu pie te fuere ocasión de caer, córtalo y échalo de ti: mejor te es entrar cojo ó manco en la vida, que teniendo dos manos ó dos pies ser echado en el fuego eterno.
8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
9Y si tu ojo te fuere ocasión de caer, sácalo y échalo de ti: mejor te es entrar con un solo ojo en la vida, que teniendo dos ojos ser echado en el infierno del fuego.
9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
10Mirad no tengáis en poco á alguno de estos pequeños; porque os digo que sus ángeles en los cielos ven siempre la faz de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11Porque el Hijo del hombre ha venido para salvar lo que se había perdido.
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12¿Qué os parece? Si tuviese algún hombre cien ovejas, y se descarriase una de ellas, ¿no iría por los montes, dejadas las noventa y nueve, á buscar la que se había descarriado?
12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13Y si aconteciese hallarla, de cierto os digo, que más se goza de aquélla, que de las noventa y nueve que no se descarriaron.
13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14Así, no es la voluntad de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos, que se pierda uno de estos pequeños.
14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15Por tanto, si tu hermano pecare contra ti, ve, y redargúyele entre ti y él solo: si te oyere, has ganado á tu hermano.
15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16Mas si no te oyere, toma aún contigo uno ó dos, para que en boca de dos ó de tres testigos conste toda palabra.
16But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17Y si no oyere á ellos, dilo á la iglesia: y si no oyere á la iglesia, tenle por étnico y publicano.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18De cierto os digo que todo lo que ligareis en la tierra, será ligado en el cielo; y todo lo que desatareis en la tierra, será desatado en el cielo.
18Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19Otra vez os digo, que si dos de vosotros se convinieren en la tierra, de toda cosa que pidieren, les será hecho por mi Padre que está en los cielos.
19Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20Porque donde están dos ó tres congregados en mi nombre, allí estoy en medio de ellos.
20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21Entonces Pedro, llegándose á él, dijo: Señor, ¿cuántas veces perdonaré á mi hermano que pecare contra mí? ¿hasta siete?
21Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22Jesús le dice: No te digo hasta siete, mas aun hasta setenta veces siete.
22Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23Por lo cual, el reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que quiso hacer cuentas con sus siervos.
23Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24Y comenzando á hacer cuentas, le fué presentado uno que le debía diez mil talentos.
24When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25Mas á éste, no pudiendo pagar, mandó su señor venderle, y á su mujer é hijos, con todo lo que tenía, y que se le pagase.
25But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26Entonces aquel siervo, postrado, le adoraba, diciendo: Señor, ten paciencia conmigo, y yo te lo pagaré todo.
26The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27El señor, movido á misericordia de aquel siervo, le soltó y le perdonó la deuda.
27The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28Y saliendo aquel siervo, halló á uno de sus consiervos, que le debía cien denarios; y trabando de él, le ahogaba, diciendo: Págame lo que debes.
28“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29Entonces su consiervo, postrándose á sus pies, le rogaba, diciendo: Ten paciencia conmigo, y yo te lo pagaré todo.
29“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30Mas él no quiso; sino fué, y le echó en la cárcel hasta que pagase la deuda.
30He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31Y viendo sus consiervos lo que pasaba, se entristecieron mucho, y viniendo, declararon á su señor todo lo que había pasado.
31So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32Entonces llamándole su señor, le dice: Siervo malvado, toda aquella deuda te perdoné, porque me rogaste:
32Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33¿No te convenía también á ti tener misericordia de tu consiervo, como también yo tuve misericordia de ti?
33Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34Entonces su señor, enojado, le entregó á los verdugos, hasta que pagase todo lo que le debía.
34His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35Así también hará con vosotros mi Padre celestial, si no perdonareis de vuestros corazones cada uno á su hermano sus ofensas.
35So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
