Lucas 18
1 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya ang isang talinghaga sa kanila tungkol sa kung paano sila dapat laging manalangin, at huwag panghinaan ng loob,
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 sinasabi, “Sa isang lungsod, may isang hukom na hindi natatakot sa Diyos at hindi niya iginagalang ang mga tao.
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 Ngayon may isang babaeng balo sa lungsod na iyon, at madalas itong pumupunta sa kaniya, sinasabi, 'Tulungan mo akong makamit ang katarungan laban sa aking kaaway.'
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 Sa loob ng mahabang panahon hindi niya ito nais na tulungan, ngunit pagkatapos ng maikling panahon, sinabi niya sa kaniyang sarili, 'Bagaman hindi ako natatakot sa Diyos o hindi ko iginagalang ang tao,
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 ngunit dahil ginagambala ako ng balong ito, tutulungan ko siyang makamit ang katarungan, upang hindi niya ako pagurin sa kaniyang palagiang pagpunta rito.”'
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 Pagkatapos sinabi ng Panginoon, “Pakinggan ninyo ang sinabi ng hindi makatarungang hukom.
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 Ngayon, hindi ba ibibigay din ng Diyos ang katarungan sa kaniyang mga hinirang na dumaraing sa kaniya araw at gabi? Hindi ba siya magiging matiyaga sa kanila?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
8 Sinasabi ko sa inyo na agad niyang dadalhin ang katarungan sa kanila. Ngunit kapag dumating ang Anak ng Tao, may matatagpuan ba siyang pananampalataya sa lupa?”
I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 At sinabi din niya ang talinghagang ito sa mga taong nagsasabi sa kanilang mga sarili na sila ay matuwid at humahamak sa ibang tao,
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 “Dalawang lalaki ang pumunta sa templo upang manalangin—ang isa ay Pariseo at ang isa naman ay maniningil ng buwis.
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
11 Tumayo ang Pariseo at ipinanalangin ang mga bagay na ito tungkol sa kaniyang sarili, 'Diyos, nagpapasalamat ako sa iyo dahil hindi ako katulad ng ibang taong magnanakaw, mga hindi matuwid, mga mangangalunya, o tulad ng maniningil ng buwis na ito.
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 Nag-aayuno ako ng dalawang beses bawat linggo. Ibinibigay ko ang ikapu ng lahat ng aking nakukuha.'
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
13 Ngunit ang maniningil ng buwis, na nakatayo sa di-kalayuan, ayaw man lang tumingin sa langit, ngunit dinadagukan niya ang kaniyang dibdib, sinasabi, 'Diyos, kaawaan mo ako, na isang makasalanan.'
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
14 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, umuwi ang taong ito sa kaniyang bahay na napawalang-sala kaysa sa isa, dahil maibababa ang bawat taong nagmamataas ng kaniyang sarili at maitataas ang bawat taong nagpapakababa ng kaniyang sarili.”
I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 Dinadala rin ng mga tao kay Jesus ang kanilang mga sanggol, upang sila ay kaniyang mahawakan, ngunit nang makita ito ng mga alagad, sinaway nila ang mga ito,
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them
16 Ngunit pinalapit sila ni Jesus sa kaniya, sinasabi, “Payagan ninyo ang mga maliliit na bata na lumapit sa akin at huwag ninyo silang pagbawalan. Sapagkat ang kaharian ng Diyos ay nauukol sa mga gaya nila.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 Totoo, sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang sinumang hindi tatanggap sa kaharian ng Diyos na tulad ng isang bata ay tiyak na hindi makapapasok doon.”
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 Isang pinuno ang nagtanong sa kaniya, sinasabi, “Mabuting guro, ano ang kailangan kong gawin upang magmana ng buhay na walang hanggan?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Bakit mo ako tinatawag na mabuti? Walang mabuti, kundi ang Diyos lamang.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 Alam mo ang mga kautusan—huwag kang mangalunya, huwag kang pumatay, huwag kang magnakaw, huwag kang magpatotoo ng kasinungalingan, igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina.”
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 Sinabi ng pinuno, “Sinunod ko ang lahat ng bagay na ito mula pa sa aking pagkabata.”
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
22 Nang marinig iyon ni Jesus, sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Isang bagay pa ang kulang sa iyo. Dapat mong ipagbili ang lahat ng mayroon ka at ipamahagi mo ito sa mga mahihirap, at magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa langit—at halika, sumunod ka sa akin.”
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 Ngunit nang marinig ng mayamang lalaki ang mga bagay na ito, labis siyang nalungkot, sapagkat napakayaman niya.
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 Habang tinitingnan siya ni Jesus, lubha siyang nalungkot at sinabi, “Gaano na lamang kahirap para sa mga mayayaman na pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos!
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 Sapagkat mas madali para sa isang kamelyo na pumasok sa butas ng isang karayom, kaysa sa isang taong mayaman na pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.”
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Sinabi ng mga nakarinig nito, “Kung ganoon sino ang maliligtas?”
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang mga bagay na hindi magagawa ng mga tao ay magagawa ng Diyos.”
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Sinabi ni Pedro, “Tingnan mo, iniwan namin ang lahat ng aming pag-aari at sumunod sa iyo.”
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
29 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Totoo, sinasabi ko sa inyo na walang sinumang nag-iwan ng kaniyang bahay, o asawang babae, o mga kapatid na lalaki, o mga magulang, o mga anak, para sa kapakanan ng kaharian ng Diyos,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 Pagkatapos niyang tipunin ang Labindalawa, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Masdan ninyo, paakyat tayo sa Jerusalem, at ang lahat ng bagay na isinulat ng mga propeta tungkol sa Anak ng Tao ay matutupad.
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 Sapagkat ibibigay siya sa mga Gentil, at kukutyain, at ipapahiya, at duduraan.
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 Pagkatapos siyang hagupitin, siya ay papatayin nila at sa ikatlong araw muli siyang mabubuhay.”
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 Wala silang naunawaan sa mga bagay na ito, at ang salitang ito ay lingid sa kanila, at hindi nila naunawaan ang mga bagay na nasabi.
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 At nangyari, nang palapit si Jesus sa Jerico, may isang bulag na lalaking nakaupo sa tabi ng kalsada na namamalimos,
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 at nang narinig niya ang maraming tao na dumaraan, tinanong niya kung ano ang nangyayari.
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 Sinabi nila sa kaniya na dumaraan si Jesus na taga-Nazaret.
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 Kaya sumigaw ang bulag na lalaki, sinasabi, “Jesus, anak ni David, maawa ka sa akin.”
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Sinaway ng mga naunang naglalakad ang bulag na lalaki, sinasabi sa kaniya na manahimik. Ngunit lalo pa siyang sumigaw, “Anak ni David, maawa ka sa akin.”
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Huminto si Jesus at iniutos na dalhin sa kaniya ang lalaki. At nang malapit na ang bulag na lalaki, tinanong siya ni Jesus,
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 “Ano ang gusto mong gawin ko sa iyo?” Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, gusto kong makakita.”
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Tanggapin mo ang iyong paningin. Pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya.”
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 Kaagad niyang natanggap ang kaniyang paningin, at sumunod sa kainya na niluluwalhati ang Diyos. Pagkakita nito, nagbigay ng papuri ang lahat ng tao sa Diyos.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
