1 ¶ Y habiendo entrado Jesús, iba pasando por Jericó;

He entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 y he aquí un varón llamado Zaqueo, el cual era el principal de los publicanos, y era rico;

And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

3 Y procuraba ver quién era Jesús; mas no podía a causa de la multitud, porque era pequeño de estatura.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

4 Y corriendo delante, se subió a un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.

5 Y como vino a aquel lugar Jesús, mirando, le vio, y le dijo: Zaqueo, date prisa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose en tu casa.

When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

6 E ntonces él descendió aprisa, y le recibió gozoso.

And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.

7 Y viendo esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo que había entrado a posar con un hombre pecador.

When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”

8 E ntonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy a los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado a alguno, se lo devuelvo cuadruplicado.

Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much.”

9 Y el Señor le dijo: Porque hoy ha sido hecha salud a esta casa; por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

10 P orque el Hijo del hombre vino a buscar y a salvar lo que se había perdido.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Parable of Money Usage

11 ¶ Y oyendo ellos estas cosas, prosiguió Jesús y dijo una parábola, por cuanto estaba cerca de Jerusalén, y porque pensaban que luego había de ser manifestado el Reino de Dios.

While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

12 D ijo pues: Un hombre noble se fue a una provincia lejos, para tomar para sí un reino, y volver.

So He said, “ A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’

15 Y aconteció, que vuelto él, habiendo tomado el reino, mandó llamar a sí a aquellos siervos a los cuales había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había negociado cada uno.

When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done.

The first appeared, saying, ‘ Master, your mina has made ten minas more.’

17 Y él le dice: Está bien, buen siervo; pues que en lo poco has sido fiel, tendrás potestad sobre diez ciudades.

18 Y vino el segundo, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha hecho cinco minas.

The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, master, has made five minas.’

19 Y también a éste dijo: Tú también sé sobre cinco ciudades.

And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

20 Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, he aquí tu mina, la cual he tenido guardada en un pañuelo;

Another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

21 p orque tuve miedo de ti, que eres hombre recio; tomas lo que no pusiste, y siegas lo que no sembraste.

for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’

22 E ntonces él le dijo: Mal siervo, de tu boca te juzgo. Sabías que yo era hombre recio, que quito lo que no puse, y que siego lo que no sembré;

He said to him, ‘ By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

23 ¿ por qué, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo recibiera con el logro?

Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?’

Then he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’

25 Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, tiene diez minas.

And they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas already.’

26 P ues yo os digo que a cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; mas al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.

I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

27 Y también a aquellos mis enemigos que no querían que yo reinara sobre ellos, traedlos acá, y degolladlos delante de mí.

But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.” Triumphal Entry

28 ¶ Y dicho esto, iba delante subiendo a Jerusalén.

When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

30 d iciendo: Id a la aldea de enfrente; en la cual cuando entrareis, hallaréis un pollino atado, en el que ningún hombre se ha sentado jamás; desatadlo, y traedlo.

saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

31 Y si alguien os preguntare, ¿por qué lo desatáis? Le responderéis así: Porque el Señor lo necesita.

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’”

32 Y fueron los que habían sido enviados, y hallaron como les dijo.

So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

36 Y yendo él, tendían sus vestidos por el camino.

As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

38 d iciendo: ¡Bendito el Rey que viene en el nombre del Señor; paz en el cielo, y gloria en lo altísimo!

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

40 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: Os digo que si éstos callaran, las piedras clamarían.

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

41 ¶ Y como llegó cerca viendo la ciudad, lloró sobre ella,

When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,

42 d iciendo: ¡Oh si también tú conocieras, a lo menos en este tu día, lo que toca a tu paz! Mas ahora está encubierto a tus ojos.

saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

43 P orque vendrán días sobre ti, que tus enemigos te cercarán con baluarte, y te pondrán cerco, y de todas partes te pondrán en estrecho,

For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

44 y te derribarán a tierra, y a tus hijos dentro de ti; y no dejarán sobre ti piedra sobre piedra; por cuanto no conociste el tiempo de tu visitación.

and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” Traders Driven from the Temple

47 Y enseñaba cada día en el Templo; mas los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los principales del pueblo procuraban matarle.

And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him,
