Marcos 2
1 Ug sa paghibalik niya sa Capernaum tapus sa pipila ka adlaw, nadungog nga siya didto sa usa ka balay.
[Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
2 Ug daghan ang nagponsisok didto, nga tungod niana wala nay dapit nga ila pang kasudlan, bisan pa diha duol sa pultahan; ug ngadto kanila giwali niya ang pulong.
many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
3 Ug didtoy nangabut nga nanagdala kaniyag usa ka paralitico nga giyayongan sa upat ka tawo.
Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
4 Ug kay dili man sila makaduol kang Jesus tungod sa panon sa mga tawo, ilang gibuslotan ang atop sa ibabaw niya; ug sa nakahimo na silag lungag, ilang gitonton ang higdaanan diin diha ang paralitico.
They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
5 Ug sa pagkakita ni Jesus sa ilang pagsalig, siya miingon sa paralitico, "Anak, ang imong mga sala gipasaylo na."
After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
6 Ug dihay pipila sa mga escriba nga nanaglingkod, ug diha sa ilang mga kasingkasing nangutana sila nga nanag-ingon,
There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
7 "Nganong nagasulti man kining tawhana sa ingon? Usa kini ka pasipala! Kay kinsa bay makapasaylog mga sala kondili ang dios ra?"
“(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
8 Ug dihadiha sa nasabut ni Jesus diha sa iyang espriritu nga sa ingon nangutana sila sa ilang kaugalingon, siya miingon kanila, "Nganong nangutana man kamo sa ingon sa sulod sa inyong mga kasingkasing?
Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
9 Kay hain bay labi pang masayon, ang pag-ingon ba ngadto sa paralitico, `Ang imong mga sala gipasaylo na,' o ang pag-ingon ba, `Bangon, dad-a ang imong higdaanan ug paglakaw'?
It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
10 Apan aron mahibalo kamo nga ang Anak sa Tawo may kagahum diay dinhi sa yuta sa pagpasaylog mga sala" siya miingon sa paralitico
So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
11 "ako magaingon kanimo, bangon, dad-a ang imong higdaanan ug pumauli ka."
“To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
12 Ug siya mibangon, ug dihadiha gisakwat niya ang iyang higdaanan ug mipahawa siya sa atubangan nilang tanan paingon sa gawas, nga tungod niini nahibulong silang tanan ug nayagdaneg sa Dios, ug nanag-ingon, "Wala pa kitay nakita nga ingon niini!"
The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
13 Ug si Jesus miadto na usab sa baybayon; ug ang tibuok panon sa katawhan miduol kaniya, ug iyang gipanudloan sila.
Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
14 Ug sa naglakaw siya, iyang nakita ang anak ni Alfeo nga si Levi, nga naglingkod sa buhisanan; ug siya miingon kaniya, "Sumunod ka kanako." Ug siya mitindog ug mikuyog kaniya.
As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
15 Ug sa naglingkod si Jesus tambong sa kan-anan sa balay ni Levi, dihay daghang mga maniningil sa buhis ug mga makasasala nga nanglingkod uban kaniya ug sa iyang mga tinun-an; kay diha may daghang mikuyog kaniya.
[Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
16 Ug ang mga escriba nga mga Fariseo, sa ilang pagkakita nga siya nagkaon kauban sa mga makasasala ug sa mga maniningil sa buhis, miingon sa iyang mga tinun-an, "Nganong mokaon man siya kauban sa mga maniningil sa buhis ug sa mga makasasala?"
The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
17 Ug sa pagkadungog ni Jesus niini, siya miingon kanila, "Ang mga maayo rag lawas wala magkinahanglan ug mananambal, kondili ang mga masakiton; ako mianhi dili sa pagtawag sa mga matarung, kondili sa mga makasasala."
After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
18 Ug ang mga tinun-an ni Juan ug ang mga Fariseo nanagpuasa; ug ang mga tawo miduol ug miingon kaniya, "Ngano ba nga ang mga tinun-an ni Juan ug ang mga tinun-an sa mga Fariseo magapuasa man, apan ang imong mga tinun-an wala man magpuasa?"
The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
19 Kanila mitubag si Jesus nga nag-ingon, "Makahimo ba sa pagpuasa ang mga dinapit sa kasal samtang ang nabana anaa pa uban kanila? Samtang ang nabana anaa pa uban kanila, dili sila makahimo sa pagpuasa.
[Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
20 Apan moabut ra ang mga adlaw nga ang nabana pagakuhaon na gikan kanila, ug unya magapuasa na sila niadtong adlawa.
But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
21 Walay tawo nga magatapak ug bag-ong panapton diha sa daan nga sinina; kay kon mao pa, ang igatapak mabitas ra gikan niini, ang bag-o gikan sa daan, ug unya mahimo na hinoon ang labi pa ka dakung gisi.
[Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
22 Ug walay tawo nga magasulod ug bag-ong bino diha sa mga daang sudlanan nga panit; kay kon mao pa, ang bino mobusisi sa mga sudlanang panit, ug ang bino mausik, maingon man ang mga sudlanang panit; apan ang bag-ong bino kinahanglan anha isulod sa bag-ong mga sudlanang panit."
[Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
23 Usa niana ka adlaw nga igpapahulay, si Jesus naglakaw agi sa kaumahan sa mga trigo; ug samtang naglakaw sila, ang iyang mga tinun-an misugod sa pagpangutlog mga uhay.
On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
24 Ug ang mga Fariseo miingon kaniya, "Tan-awa ra, ngano ba nga nagahimo man sila sa dili matarung pagabuhaton sulod sa adlaw nga igpapahulay sumala sa kasugoan?"
[Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
25 Kanila mitubag siya nga nag-ingon, Wala ba gayud kamo makabasa mahitungod sa gibuhat ni David sa diha nga nagkinahanglan siya ug gigutom, siya ug ang iyang mga kauban:
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
26 naunsa nga misulod man siya sa balay sa Dios, sa diha nga si Abiatar mao pa ang labawng sacerdote, ug mikaon sa mga tinapay nga binutang-sa-atubangan-sa-Dios, nga supak man unta sa kasugoan ang pagkaon niini ni bisan kinsa gawas sa mga sacerdote lamang, ug nanghatag usab siya niini ngadto sa mga kauban niya?
During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
27 Ug siya miingon kanila, "Ang adlaw nga igpapahulay gibuhat alang sa tawo, dili ang tawo alang sa adlaw nga igpapahulay;
Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
28 busa ang Anak sa Tawo agalon kang kinsa nailalum bisan pa ang adlaw nga igpapahulay."
And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
