1 N ow there gathered together to the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

Los Fariseos, y algunos de los escribas que habían venido de Jerusalén, se reunieron alrededor de El;

2 F or they had seen that some of His disciples ate with common hands, that is, unwashed '> ceremonial washing]—

y vieron que algunos de Sus discípulos comían el pan con manos inmundas, es decir, sin lavar.

3 F or the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands '> up to the elbow] with clenched fist, adhering to the tradition of their forefathers.

(Porque los Fariseos y todos los Judíos no comen a menos de que se laven las manos cuidadosamente, observando así la tradición de los ancianos.

4 A nd from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions, the washing of cups and wooden pitchers and widemouthed jugs and utensils of copper and beds—

Cuando vuelven de la plaza, no comen a menos de que se laven; y hay muchas otras cosas que han recibido para observar las, como el lavamiento de los vasos, de los cántaros y de las vasijas de cobre.)

5 A nd the Pharisees and scribes kept asking, Why do Your disciples not order their way of living according to the tradition handed down by the forefathers, but eat with hands unwashed and ceremonially not purified?

Así que los Fariseos y los escribas Le preguntaron: “¿Por qué Tus discípulos no andan conforme a la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen con manos inmundas ?”

6 B ut He said to them, Excellently and truly '> so that there will be no room for blame] did Isaiah prophesy of you, the pretenders and hypocrites, as it stands written: These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far distant from Me.

Jesús les respondió: “Bien profetizó Isaías de ustedes, hipócritas, como está escrito: ‘ Este pueblo con los labios Me honra, pero su corazon esta muy lejos de Mi.

7 I n vain (fruitlessly and without profit) do they worship Me, ordering and teaching as doctrines the commandments and precepts of men.

‘ Mas en vano Me rinden culto, enseñando como doctrinas preceptos de hombres.’

8 Y ou disregard and give up and ask to depart from you the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men.

Dejando el mandamiento de Dios, ustedes se aferran a la tradición de los hombres.”

9 A nd He said to them, You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition (your own human regulations)!

También les decía: “Astutamente ustedes violan el mandamiento de Dios para guardar su tradición.

10 F or Moses said, Honor (revere with tenderness of feeling and deference) your father and your mother, and, He who curses or reviles or speaks evil of or abuses or treats improperly his father or mother, let him surely die.

Porque Moisés dijo: ‘ Honra a tu padre y a tu madre ’; y: ‘ El que hable mal de su padre o de su madre, que muera.’

11 B ut you say, A man is exempt if he tells father or mother, What you would otherwise have gained from me is Corban, that is, is a gift,

“Pero ustedes dicen: ‘Si un hombre dice al padre o a la madre: “Cualquier cosa mía con que pudieras beneficiarte es corbán (es decir, ofrenda a Dios )’”,

12 T hen you no longer are permitting him to do anything for father or mother.

ya no le dejan hacer nada en favor de su padre o de su madre;

13 T hus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect the Word of God through your tradition, which you hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing.

invalidando así la palabra de Dios por la tradición de ustedes, la cual han transmitido, y hacen muchas cosas semejantes a éstas.”

14 A nd He called the people to again and said to them, Listen to Me, all of you, and understand.

Llamando de nuevo a la multitud, Jesús les decía: “Escuchen todos lo que les digo y entiendan:

15 T here is not one thing outside a man which by going into him can pollute and defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him and make him unhallowed and unclean.

no hay nada fuera del hombre que al entrar en él pueda contaminarlo; sino que lo que sale de adentro del hombre es lo que contamina al hombre.

16 I f any man has ears to hear, let him be listening '> perceive and comprehend by hearing].

Si alguno tiene oídos para oír, que oiga.”

17 A nd when He had left the crowd and had gone into the house, His disciples began asking Him about the parable.

Cuando Jesús dejó a la multitud y entró en casa, Sus discípulos Le preguntaron acerca de la parábola.

18 A nd He said to them, Then are you also unintelligent and dull and without understanding? Do you not discern and see that whatever goes into a man from the outside cannot make him unhallowed or unclean,

“¿También ustedes son tan faltos de entendimiento?” les dijo. “¿No comprenden que todo lo que de afuera entra al hombre no lo puede contaminar,

19 S ince it does not reach and enter his heart but digestive tract, and so passes on ? Thus He was making and declaring all foods clean '> abolishing the ceremonial distinctions of the Levitical Law].

porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el estómago, y se elimina ?” Jesús declaró así limpios todos los alimentos.

20 A nd He said, What comes out of a man is what makes a man unclean and renders unhallowed.

También decía: “Lo que sale del hombre, eso es lo que contamina al hombre.

21 F or from within, out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery,

Porque de adentro, del corazón de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, fornicaciones, robos, homicidios, adulterios,

22 C oveting (a greedy desire to have more wealth), dangerous and destructive wickedness, deceit; unrestrained (indecent) conduct; an evil eye (envy), slander (evil speaking, malicious misrepresentation, abusiveness), pride ( the sin of an uplifted heart against God and man), foolishness (folly, lack of sense, recklessness, thoughtlessness).

avaricias, maldades, engaños, sensualidad, envidia, calumnia, orgullo e insensatez.

23 A ll these evil come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed.

Todas estas maldades de adentro salen, y contaminan al hombre.” La Mujer Sirofenicia

24 A nd Jesus arose and went away from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He went into a house and did not want anyone to know; but it was not possible for Him to be hidden.

Levantándose de allí, Jesús se fue a la región de Tiro, y entrando en una casa, no quería que nadie lo supiera, pero no pudo pasar inadvertido;

25 I nstead, at once, a woman whose little daughter had (was under the control of) an unclean spirit heard about Him and came and flung herself down at His feet.

sino que enseguida, al oír hablar de El, una mujer cuya hijita tenía un espíritu inmundo, fue y se postró a Sus pies.

26 N ow the woman was a Greek (Gentile), a Syrophoenician by nationality. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her little daughter.

La mujer era Gentil, Sirofenicia de nacimiento; y Le rogaba que echara al demonio fuera de su hija.

27 A nd He said to her, First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.

Y Jesús le decía: “Deja que primero los hijos se sacien, pues no está bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo a los perrillos.”

28 B ut she answered Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the small pups under the table eat the little children’s scraps of food.

“Es cierto, Señor,” le dijo ella; “pero aun los perrillos debajo de la mesa comen las migajas de los hijos.”

29 A nd He said to her, Because of this saying, you may go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.

Jesús le dijo: “Por esta respuesta, vete; ya el demonio ha salido de tu hija.”

30 A nd she went home and found the child thrown on the couch, and the demon departed.

Cuando ella volvió a su casa, halló que la niña estaba acostada en la cama, y que el demonio había salido. Curación de un Sordomudo

31 S oon after this, Jesus, coming back from the region of Tyre, passed through Sidon on to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Decapolis.

Volviendo Jesús a salir de la región de Tiro, pasó por Sidón y llegó al mar de Galilea, atravesando la región de Decápolis.

32 A nd they brought to Him a man who was deaf and had difficulty in speaking, and they begged Jesus to place His hand upon him.

Y Le trajeron a uno que era sordo y tartamudo, y Le rogaron que pusiera la mano sobre él.

33 A nd taking him aside from the crowd, He thrust His fingers into the man’s ears and spat and touched his tongue;

Entonces Jesús, tomándolo aparte de la multitud, a solas, le metió los dedos en los oídos, y escupiendo, le tocó la lengua con la saliva;

34 A nd looking up to heaven, He sighed as He said, Ephphatha, which means, Be opened!

y levantando los ojos al cielo, suspiró profundamente y le dijo: “¡Effatá!” esto es, “¡Abrete!”

35 A nd his ears were opened, his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak distinctly and as he should.

Al instante se abrieron sus oídos, y desapareció el impedimento de su lengua, y hablaba con claridad.

36 A nd Jesus '> in His own interest] admonished and ordered them sternly and expressly to tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

Jesús les ordenó que a nadie se lo dijeran; pero mientras más se lo ordenaba, tanto más ellos lo proclamaban.

37 A nd they were overwhelmingly astonished, saying, He has done everything excellently (commendably and nobly)! He even makes the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak!

Y estaban asombrados en gran manera, y decían: “Todo lo ha hecho bien; aun a los sordos hace oír y a los mudos hablar.”
