Lucas 13
1 Ug niadtong tungora dihay mga tawo nga mitaho kaniya mahitu-ngod sa mga Galileanhon kinsang dugo gisagol ni Pilato sa ilang mga halad-inihaw.
Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
2 Ug si Jesus mitubag kanila, "Nagadahum ba kamo nga ang maong mga Galileanhon labi pa ka makasasala kay sa tanang mga Galileanhon, tungod kay sila nanag-antus sa ingon?
Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
3 Ingnon ko kamo, Dili; hinonoa, gawas kon maghinulsol kamo, kamong tanan mangamatay usab sa ingon.
I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
4 O kadtong napulog-walo ka mga tawo nga natumpagan sa torre sa Siloe ug nangamatay tungod niini, nagadahum ba kamo nga sila labaw pa ka malinapason kay sa tanang uban pa nga nagapuyo sa Jerusalem?
Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Ingnon ko kamo, Dili; hinonoa, gawas kon maghinulsol kamo, kamong tanan mangamatay usab sa ingon."
I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
6 Ug gisugilon niya kining usa ka sambingay, nga nag-ingon, "Dihay usa ka tawo nga may kahoyng igira nga gitanum niya sa iyang parrasan; ug siya miadto sa pagpangitag bunga niini, ug wala siyay nakaplagan.
Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
7 Ug siya miingon sa mag-aatiman sa parrasan, `Tan-awa, sulod sa tulo ka tuig na karon ako magaanhian sa pagpangitag bunga niining kahoyng igira, apan wala akoy hingkaplagan. Putla kini; nganong pausikan pa man niini kining yuta?'
Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
8 Siya mitubag kaniya, `Senyor, pasagdi lang siya niining tuiga usab, hangtud kapalibutan ko kinig kalot ug kaabunohan ko kini.
But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
9 Ug kon mamunga kini sa sunod tuig, maayo hinoon; apan kon dili man, nan, putlon mo na lang.'"
If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
10 Ug si Jesus nagpanudlo sulod sa usa sa mga sinagoga sa adlaw nga igpapahulay.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
11 Ug didtoy usa ka babaye nga gisudlan sa espiritu sa kasakit sulod na sa napulog-walo ka tuig; siya nagtikuko na lang ug dili kaayo makatul-id sa iyang kaugalingon.
There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
12 Ug sa pagkakita ni Jesus kaniya, siya mitawag ug miingon kaniya, "Babaye, mahigawas ka na sa imong sakit!"
When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
13 Ug iyang gitapion ang iyang mga kamot diha kaniya, ug dihadiha siya natul-id, ug nagdayeg siya sa Dios.
He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
14 Apan ang punoan sa sinagoga nasuko tungod kay si Jesus nag-ayog masakiton sa adlaw nga igpapahulay, ug miingon sa mga tawo, "Aduna bayay unom ka adlaw nga niini ang mga tawo kinahanglan magabuhat; panganhi kamo niining mga adlawa ug magpaayo, ug dili sa adlaw nga igpapahulay."
But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
15 "Kaniya mitubag ang Ginoo nga nag-ingon, " Mga maut! Dili ba sa adlaw nga igpapahulay ang matag-usa kaninyo maga-badbad man sa iyang baka o sa iyang asno gikan sa pasungan, ug dad-on kini sa gawas aron paimnon?
Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
16 "Ug kining babayhana, nga anak ni Abraham, nga gigapos ni Satanas sulod na sa napulog-walo ka tuig, dili ba kinahanglan nga pagabadbaran siya sa maong gapos sulod sa adlaw nga igpapahulay?"
This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
17 Sa nagsulti siya niini, ang tanan niyang mga kaaway naulawan; ug ang tanang mga tawo nangalipay tungod sa tanang mga dalaygong butang nga gihimo niya.
After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 " Busa siya miingon, " Sama ba sa unsa ang gingharian sa Dios? Ug unsa may akong kapanig-ingnan niini?
Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
19 "Kini samag liso sa mustasa nga gikuha sa usa ka tawo ug gipugas niya sa iyang tanaman; ug kini mitubo ug nahimong kahoy, ug sa mga sanga niini ang mga langgam sa kalangitan nanaghimo sa ilang batuganan."
It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
20 "Ug siya miingon pag-usab, " Unsa may akong kapanig-ingnan sa gingharian sa Dios?
Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
21 "Kini sama sa igpapatubo nga gikuha sa usa ka babaye ug gilubong diha sa tulo ka takus nga harina, hangtud gikapatuboan ang tanan."
It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
22 Ug si Jesus mipadayon sa iyang paglakaw agi sa mga kalungsuran ug kabalangayan, nga nagpanudlo ug nagpanaw padulong sa Jerusalem.
[Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
23 Ug dihay miingon kaniya, "Ginoo, diyutay ra bay maluwas?" Ug siya miingon kanila,
Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
24 "Panglimbasugi ninyo ang pagsulod agi sa pultahan nga masigpit; kay suginlan ko kamo, nga daghan ang maninguha sa pagsulod apan dili makahimo.
[Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
25 Sa diha nga ang tagbalay makatindog na ug makasira sa pultahan, kamo mosugod sa pagtindog sa gawas ug sa pagtuktok sa pultahan, nga manag-ingon `Ginoo, ablihi kami.' Kaninyo siya motubag nga magaingon, `Ambut, tagadiin kamo.'
[God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
26 Unya mosugod kamo sa pag-ingon, `Sa imong atubangan nagpangaon ug nagpanginom baya kami, ug sa among kadalanan nagpanudlo ikaw.'
Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
27 Apan siya magaingon kanila, `Sultihan ko kamo, ambut tagadiin kamo; pahawa kamo kanako, tanan kamo nga mamumuhat ug kadautan!'
But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
28 Ug didto kamo managpanghilak ug managkagot sa inyong mga ngipon inigkakita ninyo kang Abraham ug kang Isaac ug kang Jacob ug sa tanang mga profeta sa sulod sa gingharian sa Dios, ug sa diha nga pagaabugon na kamo ngadto sa gawas.
Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
29 Ug mangabut ang mga tawo gikan sa sidlakan ug sa kasadpan, ug gikan sa amihaan ug sa habagatan, ug manglingkod sila tambong sa kan-anan diha sa gingharian sa Dios.
Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
30 Ug tan-awa, anaay nangulahi nga unya manag-una, ug anaay nagauna nga unya mangulahi."
Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
31 Ug niadtong tungora dihay mga Fariseo nga nangabut ug miingon kaniya, "Pumahawa ka dinhi kay si Herodes buot mopatay kanimo."
At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
32 "Siya mitubag kanila, " Adtoa ug suginli ninyo ang maong singgalong, `Tan-awa, ginapagula ko ang mga yawa ug ginahimo ko ang pagpang-ayo karon ug ugma, ug sa ikatulo ka adlaw matapus ko na ang akong bulohaton.
He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
33 Bisan pa niini, kinahanglan magapadyon ako sa akong panaw karon ug ugma ug sa pagkadamlag; kay dili mahitabo nga ang profeta adto mamatay gawas sa Jerusalem.'
But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem nga nagapatay sa mga profeta ug nagabato sa mga sinugo diha kanimo! Sa makadaghan gipangandoy ko ang pagtigum unta sa imong mga anak, maingon sa himungaan nga nagatigum sa iyang mga piso ilalum sa iyang mga pako, apan nagdumili ikaw!
[Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
35 "Tan-awa, mabiniyaan ang inyong balay. Ug sultihan ko kamo, nga dili na kamo makakita kanako hangtud magaingon na kamo, `Dalaygon ang nagaanhi sa ngalan sa Ginoo!'"
So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
