Quédate con nosotros/Abide with Us

Señor, a ti he clamado; apresúrate a mí;
Escucha mi voz cuando te invocare.
Suba mi oración delante de ti como el incienso,
el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.

I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me;
hear me when I call to you.
May my prayer be set before you like incense;
may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

Gracia y paz sean con vosotros,
de aquel quien es y ha sido,
y vendrá, y de los siete espíritus que están ante su trono;
y de Jesucristo, el Testigo Fiel,
el primogénito de entre los muertos,
y el Soberano de los reyes de la tierra. Amén.

Grace to you and peace
from him who is and who was and who is to come,
and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Amen.

Aquel mismo día dos de ellos se dirigían a un pueblo llamado Emaús, a unos once kilómetros de Jerusalén. Iban conversando sobre todo lo que había acontecido. Sucedió que, mientras hablaban y discutían, Jesús mismo se acercó y comenzó a caminar con ellos; pero no lo reconocieron, pues sus ojos estaban velados.

Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.

―¿Qué vienen discutiendo por el camino? — les preguntó.
Se detuvieron, cabizbajos; y uno de ellos, llamado Cleofas, le dijo:

―¿Eres tú el único peregrino en Jerusalén que no se ha enterado de todo lo que ha pasado recientemente?

―¿Qué es lo que ha pasado?—les preguntó.

―Lo de Jesús de Nazaret. Era un profeta, poderoso en obras y en palabras delante
de Dios y de todo el pueblo. Los jefes de
los sacerdotes y nuestros gobernantes lo entregaron para ser condenado a muerte, y lo crucificaron; pero nosotros abrigábamos la esperanza de que era él quien redimiría
a Israel. Es más, ya hace tres días que sucedió todo esto. También algunas mujeres de nuestro grupo nos dejaron asombrados.

Esta mañana, muy temprano, fueron al sepulcro, pero no hallaron su cuerpo. Cuando volvieron, nos contaron que se les habían aparecido unos ángeles quienes les dijeron que él está vivo. Algunos de nuestros compañeros fueron después al sepulcro y lo encontraron tal como habían dicho las mujeres, pero a él no lo vieron.

―¡Qué torpes son ustedes—les dijo—, y qué tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que
han dicho los profetas! ¿Acaso no tenía que sufrir el Cristo estas cosas antes de entrar en su gloria?

Entonces, comenzando por Moisés y por todos los profetas, les explicó lo que se refería a él en todas las Escrituras.

He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

They stood still, their faces downcast.

One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have

happened there in these days?”

“What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this

took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this

morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

He said to them, “How foolish you
are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Al acercarse al pueblo adonde se dirigían, Jesús hizo como que iba más lejos. Pero ellos insistieron:

―Quédate con nosotros, que está atardeciendo; ya es casi de noche.

Así que entró para quedarse con ellos. Luego, estando con ellos a la mesa, tomó el pan, lo bendijo, lo partió y se lo dio. Entonces se les abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron, pero él desapareció. Se decían el uno al otro:

―¿No ardía nuestro corazón mientras conversaba con nosotros en el camino y nos explicaba las Escrituras?

As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as
if he were going farther. But they urged
him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Al instante se pusieron en camino y regresaron a Jerusalén. Allí encontraro a los once y a los que estaba reunidos con ellos. «¡Es cierto!—decían—. El Señor ha resucitado y se le ha aparecido a Simón».

They got up and returned at once to Jerusalm. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."

La gracia del Señor Jesucristo, el amor de Dios,
y la comunión del Espíritu Santo sean con todos vosotros. Amén.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. Amen.
