< Acts 14 >

1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
Nangyari din ito sa Iconio, na sina Pablo at Bernabe ay magkasamang pumasok sa loob ng sinagoga ng mga Judio at nagsalita sa paraan na napakaraming Judio at Griyego ang nanampalataya.
2 But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
Ngunit nanghikayat ang mga suwail na Judio sa kalagitnaan ng mga Gentil at hinimok sila na magalit laban sa mga kapatid.
3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
Kaya nanatili sila doon ng mahabang panahon, matapang na nagsasalita sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos, Habang nagbibigay siya ng patunay tungkol sa mensahe ng kaniyang biyaya. Ginawa niya ito sa pamamagitan ng mga palatandaan at mga kamangha-manghang bagay sa pamamagitan ng kamay nina Pablo at Bernabe.
4 The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
Ngunit nahati ang karamihan sa lunsod: pumanig ang iba sa mga Judio at sa mga apostol naman ang iba.
5 Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
Nang subukang himukin ng mga Gentil at Judio ang kanilang mga pinuno na saktan at batuhin sina Pablo at Bernabe,
6 But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
nalaman nila ang mga ito at tumakas sila patungo sa lungsod ng Licaonia, Listra at Derbe at sa palibot na rehiyon,
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
at doon nangangaral sila ng ebanghelyo.
8 [Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
Sa Listra may isang lalaking nakaupo sa kaniyang mga paa na walang lakas, isang lumpo mula pa noong nasa sinapupunan ng kaniyang ina, na hindi kailanman nakapaglakad.
9 He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
Narinig ng taong ito si Pablo na nagsasalita. Itinuon ni Pablo ang kaniyang mga mata sa kaniya at nakita niya na mayroon siyang pananampalataya upang gumaling.
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
Kaya sinabi niya sa kaniya ng malakas ang boses, ''Tumayo ka.” tumalon ang lalaki at lumakad.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
Nang makita ng maraming tao ang ginawa ni Pablo, sumigaw sila ng malakas, nagsasalita sa wikang Licaonia, ''Ang mga diyos ay bumaba sa atin sa anyo ng tao.”
12 They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
Tinawag nilang “Zeus,” si Bernabe at “Hermes” naman si Pablo dahil siya ang pangunahing tagapagsalita.
13 Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
Nagdala ng baka at koronang bulaklak sa tarangkahan ang pari ni Zeus, na ang templo ay nasa labas lamang ng lungsod; siya at ang maraming tao ay gustong mag-alay ng handog.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
Ngunit nang narinig ito ng mga apostol na sina, Bernabe at Pablo, pinunit nila ang kanilang kasuotan at agad na lumabas na sumisigaw sa maraming tao
15 “Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
na sinasabi, ''Mga tao, bakit ninyo ginagawa ang mga bagay na ito? mga tao din kami na may damdamin tulad ninyo. Dinala namin sa inyo ang mabuting balita, upang tumalikod kayo sa mga bagay na walang halaga para sa Diyos na buhay, na gumawa sa kalangitan, lupa, at nang dagat at ang lahat ng mga naroon.
16 In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
Sa mga nakalipas na panahon, pinahintulutan niya ang lahat ng bansa na lumakad sa sarili nilang kagustuhan.
17 But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
Ngunit gayun pa man hindi niya hinayaan ang kaniyang sarili na walang saksi, dahil doon gumawa siya ng mabuti at ibinigay sa inyo ang mga ulan mula sa langit at mabungang mga panahon, pinupuno ang inyong mga puso ng pagkain at kagalakan.”
18 The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
Maging sa mga salitang ito, napigilan nina Pablo at Bernabe ang pag-aalay sa kanila ng maraming tao.
19 [However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
Ngunit ilang mga Judio mula Antioquia at Iconio ang dumating at hinikayat ang maraming tao. Binato nila si Pablo at kinaladkad palabas ng lungsod sa pag-aakalang siya ay patay na.
20 They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
Ngunit habang nakatayo ang mga alagad sa palibot niya, tumayo siya at pumasok sa lungsod. Nang sumunod na araw pumunta siya sa Derbe kasama si Bernabe.
21 They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
Pagkatapos nilang ipinangaral ang ebanghelyo sa lungsod na iyon at magkaroon ng maraming alagad, bumalik sila sa Listra, sa Iconio, at sa Antioquia.
22 [In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
Ipinagpatuloy nilang palakasin ang isipan ng mga alagad at hinikayat sila na magpatuloy sa pananampalataya. Sinabi nila sa kanila na sa pamamagitan ng maraming pagdurusa bago tayo makakapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
Nang makapagtalaga sila ng mga nakatatanda sa bawat kapulungan ng mga mananampalataya, at makapanalangin na may pag-aayuno, ipinagkatiwala nila sila sa Panginoon na kanilang pinaniniwalaan.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Pagkatapos, dumaan sila sa Pisidia at dumating sa Panfilia.
25 [In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
Nang kanilang maihayag ang salita sa Perga, umalis sila pababa ng Atalia.
26 There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
Mula doon naglayag sila patungong Antioquia kung saan ipinagkatiwala nila sa biyaya ng Diyos ang gawaing kanilang natapos.
27 When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
Nang dumating sila sa Antioquia at sama-samang tinipon ang kapulungan, ibinalita nila ang lahat ng bagay na ginawa ng Diyos sa kanila at kung paanong binuksan ng Diyos ang pintuan ng pananampalataya para sa mga Gentil.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Nanatili sila ng mahabang panahon kasama ng mga alagad.
