Lucas 13
1 Nang panahong iyon, sinabi sa kaniya ng ilang tao na naroon ang tungkol sa mga taga-Galilea, na ang dugo ng mga ito'y inihalo ni Pilato sa kanilang mga sariling alay.
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Sa tingin ba ninyo ay mas makasalanan ang mga taga-Galilea na ito kaysa sa ibang mga taga-Galilea dahil nagdusa sila sa ganitong paraan?
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
3 Hindi, sinasabi ko sa inyo. Ngunit kung hindi kayo magsisisi, mamamatay kayong lahat sa ganoon ding paraan.
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4 O iyong labing walong tao sa Siloam na nabagsakan ng tore at namatay, sa tingin ba ninyo ay mas makasalanan sila kaysa sa ibang tao sa Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
5 Hindi, sinasabi ko. Ngunit kung hindi kayo magsisisi, lahat kayo ay mamatay din.”
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
6 Sinabi ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito, “May isang taong may isang puno ng igos na nakatanim sa kaniyang ubasan at dumating siya at naghanap ng bunga nito ngunit wala siyang matagpuan.
And Jesus told them this parable – “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
7 Sinabi niya sa hardinero, 'Tingnan mo, tatlong taon na akong pumaparito, at sinubukang maghanap ng bunga ng puno ng igos na ito ngunit wala akong natagpuan. Putulin mo ito. Bakit hahayaang sayangin nito ang lupa?'
So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
8 Sumagot ang hardinero at sinabi, 'Pabayaan mo muna ito sa taong ito hanggang sa aking mahukayan ang palibot nito at malagyan ito ng pataba.
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
9 Kung mamunga ito sa susunod na taon, mabuti; ngunit kung hindi, putulin mo ito!”'
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
10 Ngayon, nagtuturo si Jesus sa isa sa mga sinagoga sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
11 Masdan, may isang babaeng naroon na labing-walong taon nang may masamang espiritu ng panghihina, at siya ay baluktot at hindi siya lubusang makatayo.
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
12 Nang makita siya ni Jesus, tinawag niya ito at sinabi, “Babae, napalaya ka na mula sa iyong panghihina.”
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 Ipinatong niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa babae, at kaagad siyang naunat at niluwalhati niya ang Diyos.
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
14 Ngunit nagalit ang pinuno ng sinagoga dahil nagpagaling si Jesus sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Kaya sumagot ang pinuno at sinabi sa maraming mga tao, “May anim na araw kung saan kinakailangang magtrabaho. Pumarito kayo at mapagaling sa mga araw na iyon, huwag sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Sinagot siya ng Panginoon at sinabi, “Mga mapagkunwari! Hindi ba kinakalag ng bawat isa sa inyo ang tali ng kaniyang asno o baka mula sa sabsaban nito upang painumin sa Araw ng Pamamahinga?
“You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
16 Kaya ito ring babaeng anak ni Abraham, na labing-walong taon nang iginapos ni Satanas, hindi ba nararapat kalagan ang kaniyang gapos sa Araw ng Pamamahinga?”
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
17 Nang sinabi niya ang mga bagay na ito, lahat ng sumalungat sa kaniya ay napahiya, ngunit nagagalak ang maraming tao sa mga maluwalhating bagay na kaniyang ginawa.
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
18 At sinabi ni Jesus, “Ano ang katulad ng kaharian ng Diyos, at ano ang maaari kong ihambing dito?
So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
19 Ito ay tulad ng isang buto ng mustasa na kinuha ng isang tao at inihagis sa kaniyang halamanan, at ito ay tumubo at naging isang malaking puno, at namugad sa mga sanga nito ang mga ibon sa langit.”
It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.”
20 Muli, sinabi niya, “Saan ko maaaring ihambing ang salita ng Diyos?
And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ito ay tulad ng lebadura na kinuha ng isang babae at inihalo sa tatlong takal ng harina hanggang sa ito ay umalsa.”
It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
22 Binisita ni Jesus ang bawat bayan at baryo sa daan patungong Jerusalem at tinuruan sila.
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
23 May nagsabi sa kaniya, “Panginoon, kakaunti lamang bang tao ang maliligtas?” Kaya sinabi niya sa kanila,
“Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
24 “Pagsikapan ninyong pumasok sa makipot na pintuan, dahil marami ang susubok ngunit hindi sila makakapasok.
“Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
25 Kapag tumayo na ang may-ari ng bahay at isinara ang pintuan, at kayo ay tatayo sa labas at kakalabugin ang pinto at sasabihin, 'Panginoon, Panginoon, papasukin mo kami.' At siya ay sasagot at sasabihin sa inyo, 'Hindi ko kayo kilala o kung taga-saan kayo.'
when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be – ‘I do not know where you come from.’
26 Pagkatapos ay inyong sasabihin, 'Kami ay kumain at uminom sa iyong harapan at nagturo ka sa aming mga lansangan.'
Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be –
27 Ngunit sasagot siya, 'Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi ko alam kung taga-saan kayo. Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong mga gumagawa ng masama!'
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
28 Magkakaroon ng pagnanangis at pagngangalit ng ngipin kapag nakita ninyo sina Abraham, Isaac, Jacob at ang lahat ng propeta sa kaharian ng Diyos, ngunit kayo—kayo ay itinapon sa labas.
There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 Darating sila mula sa silangan, kanluran, hilaga, at timog at sila ay uupo sa hapag-kainan sa kaharian ng Diyos.
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
30 At alamin ninyo ito, ang mga pinakahuli ay ang mga una, at ang una ay magiging huli.”
There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
31 Hindi nagtagal, may ilang mga Pariseong dumating at sinabi sa kaniya, “Pumunta ka at umalis dito dahil nais kang patayin ni Herodes.”
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Pumunta kayo at sabihin sa asong-gubat na iyon, 'Tingnan mo, nagpapalayas ako ng mga demonyo at nagpapagaling ako ngayon at bukas, at sa ikatlong araw ay maaabot ko ang aking layunin.'
But Jesus answered, “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.’
33 Gayunman, kinakailangan na ako ay magpatuloy ngayon, bukas at sa susunod na araw, sapagkat hindi katanggap-tanggap na pumatay ng isang propeta sa labas ng Jerusalem.
But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, na pumapatay ng mga propeta at bumabato sa mga ipinadala sa iyo. Kaydalas kong ninais na tipunin ang iyong mga anak tulad ng pagtitipon ng inahing manok sa kaniyang mga sisiw sa ilalim ng kaniyang mga pakpak, ngunit hindi mo ito ninais.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children around me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Tingnan mo, iniwan ang iyong bahay. Sinasabi ko sa iyo, hindi mo ako makikita hanggang sabihin mo, 'Pinagpala siya na dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon.”'
Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
