Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
At nangyari na nang matapos ni Jesus ang mga salitang ito, ay umalis siya sa Galilea at napasa mga hangganan ng Judea sa dako pa roon ng Jordan;
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
At nagsisunod sa kaniya ang lubhang maraming tao, at sila'y pinagaling niya doon.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
At nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga Fariseo, na siya'y tinutukso nila, at kanilang sinasabi, Naaayon baga sa kautusan na ihiwalay ng isang lalake ang kaniyang asawa sa bawa't kadahilanan?
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
At siya'y sumagot at sinabi, Hindi baga ninyo nabasa, na ang lumalang sa kanila buhat sa pasimula, ay sila'y nilalang niya na lalake at babae,
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
At sinabi, Dahil dito'y iiwan ng lalake ang kaniyang ama at ina, at makikisama sa kaniyang asawa; at ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman?
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Kaya nga hindi na sila dalawa, kundi isang laman. Ang pinapagsama nga ng Dios, ay huwag papaghiwalayin ng tao.
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Bakit nga ipinagutos ni Moises na magbigay ng kasulatan sa paghihiwalay, at ihiwalay ang babae?
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Sinabi niya sa kanila, Dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso ay ipinaubaya sa inyo ni Moises na inyong hiwalayan ang inyong mga asawa: datapuwa't buhat sa pasimula ay hindi gayon.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
At sinasabi ko sa inyo, Sinomang ihiwalay ang kaniyang asawang babae, liban na kung sa pakikiapid, at magasawa sa iba, ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya: at ang magasawa sa babaing yaon na hiniwalayan ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya.
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Ang mga alagad ay nangagsasabi sa kaniya, Kung ganyan ang kalagayan ng lalake sa kaniyang asawa, ay hindi nararapat magasawa.
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi matatanggap ng lahat ng mga tao ang pananalitang ito, kundi niyaong mga pinagkalooban.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Sapagka't may mga bating, na ipinanganak na gayon mula sa tiyan ng kanilang mga ina: at may mga bating, na ginagawang bating ng mga tao: at may mga bating, na nangagpapakabating sa kanilang sarili dahil sa kaharian ng langit. Ang makakatanggap nito, ay pabayaang tumanggap.
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Nang magkagayon ay dinala sa kaniya ang maliliit na bata, upang ipatong niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kanila, at ipanalangin: at sinaway sila ng mga alagad.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Datapuwa't sinabi ni Jesus, Pabayaan ninyo ang maliliit na bata, at huwag ninyong pagbawalan silang magsilapit sa akin: sapagka't sa mga ganito ang kaharian ng langit.
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
At ipinatong niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kanila, at umalis doon.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
At narito, lumapit sa kaniya ang isa, at nagsabi, Guro, ano ang mabuting bagay na gagawin ko upang ako'y magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit mo itinatanong sa akin ang tungkol sa mabuti? May isa, na siyang mabuti: datapuwa't kung ibig mong pumasok sa buhay, ingatan mo ang mga utos.
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Sinabi niya sa kaniya, Alin-alin? At sinabi ni Jesus, Huwag kang papatay, Huwag kang mangangalunya, Huwag kang magnanakaw, Huwag sasaksi sa di katotohanan,
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ang iyong ina; at, Iibigin mo ang iyong kapuwa na gaya ng iyong sarili.
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Sinabi sa kaniya ng binata, Ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay ginanap ko: ano pa ang kulang sa akin?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Kung ibig mong maging sakdal, humayo ka, ipagbili mo ang tinatangkilik mo, at ibigay mo sa mga dukha, at magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa langit: at pumarito ka, sumunod ka sa akin.
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Datapuwa't nang marinig ng binata ang ganitong pananalita, ay yumaon siyang namamanglaw; sapagka't siya'y isang may maraming pag-aari.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
At sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Mahirap na makapasok ang isang taong mayaman sa kaharian ng langit.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
At muling sinasabi ko sa inyo, Magaan pa sa isang kamelyo ang dumaan sa butas ng isang karayom, kay sa isang taong mayaman ang pumasok sa kaharian ng Dios.
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
At nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, ay lubhang nangagtaka, na nagsisipagsabi, Sino nga kaya ang makaliligtas?
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
At pagtingin ni Jesus ay sinabi sa kanila, Hindi mangyayari ito sa mga tao; datapuwa't sa Dios ang lahat ng mga bagay ay mangyayari.
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Pedro at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, iniwan namin ang lahat, at nagsisunod sa iyo: ano nga baga ang kakamtin namin?
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
At sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kayong nagsisunod sa akin, sa pagbabagong lahi pagka uupo na ang Anak ng tao sa luklukan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian, kayo nama'y magsisiupo sa labingdalawang luklukan, upang magsihukom sa labingdalawang angkan ng Israel.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
At ang bawa't magiwan ng mga bahay, o mga kapatid na lalake, o mga kapatid na babae, o ama, o ina, o mga anak, o mga lupa, dahil sa aking pangalan, ay tatanggap ng tigisang daan, at magsisipagmana ng walang hanggang buhay. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Datapuwa't maraming mga una na mangahuhuli; at mga huli na mangauuna.
