Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
Sa kasamtangan, sa dihang nagtigom ang liboan nga mga tawo, nagkatinumbanay sila sa usag-usa, nagsugod siya pagsulti ngadto sa iyang mga disipulo una sa tanan, “Pagbantay kamo sa mga patubo sa mga Pariseo, nga mao ang pagpaka-aron ingnon.
2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Apan walay tinagoan nga dili mabutyag, ug walay gitagoan nga dili mahibaw-an.
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
Busa bisan unsay imong gisulti diha sa kangitngit madungog diha sa kahayag, ug bisan unsay imong gisulti diha sa igdulungog sa tago nga lawak, igamantala didto sa mga atop sa balay.
4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
Sultihan ko kamo mga higala, ayaw kamo kahadlok niadtong makapatay sa lawas, human niana wala na silay laing mahimo.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Apan pasidan-an ko kamo niadtong angay kahadlokan. Kahadloki siya, nga human makapatay, adunay katungod sa pagtambog kanimo didto sa impiyerno. Oo, sultihan ko ikaw, kahadloki siya. (Geenna g1067)
6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Dili ba ang lima ka langgam mabaligya sa duha ka gagmayng sinsilyo? Apan walay usa kanila nga gikalimtan sa atubangan sa Dios.
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
Bisan pa ang mga buhok diha sa inyong ulo naihap man. Ayaw kahadlok. Mas bililhon pa kamo kaysa daghan nga langgam.
8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
Sultihan ko kamo, ang matag-usa nga moangkon kanako atubangan sa katawhan, pagaangkonon usab sa Anak sa Tawo atubangan sa mga anghel sa Dios,
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
apan siya nga molimod kanako atubangan sa katawhan igalimod usab atubangan sa mga anghel sa Dios.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
Ang matag-usa nga mosulti ug pulong batok sa Anak sa tawo, siya mapasaylo, apan kaniya nga nagapasipala sa Balaang Espiritu, dili gayod mapasaylo.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
Sa dihang dad-on kamo nila sa mga sinagoga, sa mga magmamando, ug sa mga anaa sa panggamhanan, ayaw kamo kabalaka kung unsaon ninyo pagsulti sa inyong ipangatarungan, o unsay inyong itubag,
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
kay ang Balaang Espiritu magatudlo kaninyo niadtong taknaa kung unsay angay ninyong isulti.”
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
Unya dunay usa ka tawo nga gikan sa pundok nag-ingon kaniya, “Magtutudlo, sultihi ang akong igsoon nga bahinon ang among napanunod nga mga kabilin.”
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
Giingnan siya ni Jesus, “Tawo, kinsa may naghimo kanako nga maghuhukom ug tigpataliwala kaninyo?”
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
Ug iyaha silang giingnan, “Pagbantay nga mahilikay ninyo ang inyong kaugalingon gikan sa tanang hinakog nga pangandoy, tungod kay ang kinabuhi sa tawo wala diha sa kadagaya sa iyang kabtangan.”
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Unya gisuginlan sila ni Jesus sa usa ka sambingay,
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
nga nag-ingon, “Ang uma sa usa ka tawong dato mihatag ug daghang abot, ug miingon siya sa iyang kaugalingon, 'Unsa naman ang akong buhaton, nga wala naman akoy kabutangan sa akong mga abot?'
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
Ug miingon siya, 'Kini ang akong buhaton. Bungkagon nako ang akong kamalig ug magbuhat ako ug mas dako niini, ug didto nako ibutang ang akong mga abot ug akong mga kabtangan.
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
Ug ingnon nako ang akong kalag, “Kalag, daghan na kaayo ka ug kabtangan nga natigom alang sa daghan nga katuigan. Busa pahayahay na, pagkaon, pag-inom, ug paglipay.'”
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
Apan ang Dios miingon kaniya, 'Tawong buang, karong gabhiona ang imong kalag pagakuhaon gikan kanimo, ug ang tanang butang nga imong giandam, kinsa naman ang manag-iya?'
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
Mahisama niana ang dangatan sa usa ka tawo nga nagtigom ug bahandi para sa iyang kaugalingon apan dili dato sa Dios.”
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
Giingnan ni Jesus ang iyang mga disipulo, “Busa sultihan ko kamo, ayaw kamo kabalaka sa inyong kinabuhi-kung unsay inyong kan-on, ug mahitungod sa inyong lawas-kung unsay inyong isuot.
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Kay ang kinabuhi mas ahinungdanon kaysa pagkaon, ug ang lawas mahinungdanon kaysa mga bisti.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
Hunahunaa ang mga uwak, nga wala sila nagtanum o nag-ani. Wala silay lawak tipiganan o kamalig, apan ang Dios nagpakaon kanila. Mas mahinungdanon pa kamo kaysa mga langgam!
25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
Ug kinsa ba kaninyo nga pinaagi sa pagkabalaka nakadugang ug gitas-on sa iyang kinabuhi?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
Ug kung dili kamo makahimo bisan niining diyutay nga butang, nganong mabalaka man kamo sa uban?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Hunahunaa ang mga kabulakan-giunsa nila pagtubo. Wala sila naghago, o nagtahi. Apan sultihan ko kamo, nga bisan si Solomon sa tanan niyang himaya wala gayud makabisti sa sama niini.
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
Kung ang Dios nagapabisti sa mga sagbot sa kaumahan, nga anaa karon, ug sa pagkaugma igalabay didto sa hudno, kamo pa ba ang dili niya bistihan. Pagkadiyutay sa inyong pagtuo!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
Ayaw paghunahuna kung unsay inyong kaonon o imnon, ug ayaw kamo ug kabalaka.
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
Kay ang tanang katawhan sa tibuok kalibotan nagapangita niining mga butanga, ug ang inyong Amahan nasayod nga nagkinahanglan kamo niining mga butanga.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Apan pangitaa ang iyang gingharian, ug kining mga butanga igadugang nganha kaninyo.
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
Ayaw kahadlok, diyutay'ng panon, kay ang inyong Amahan mahimuot kaayo nga mohatag kaninyo sa gingharian.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
Ibaligya ang inyong mga kabtangan ug ipanghatag sa mga kabos. Paghimo kamog mga puntil nga dili magisi- bahandi sa langit nga dili mahurot, diin walay kawatan nga makapaduol, ug walay bokbok nga makaguba.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Kay kung hain gani ang inyong mga bahandi, atua usab didto ang inyong kasingkasing.
35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
Bakosi ang inyong tag-as nga mga bisti diha sa inyong hawak, ug pasigaha kanunay ang inyong mga suga,
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
ug pakasama kamo sa mga tawo nga naghulat sa ilang agalon nga gikan sa kombira sa kasal, aron sa pag-abot ug pagpanuktok niya, pagaablihan dayon nila ang pultahan alang kaniya.
37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
Bulahan kadtong mga sulugoon, diin nakaplagan sa ilang agalon nga nagbantay sa iyang pagbalik. Sa pagkatinuod sultihan ko kamo nga bakosan niya ang iyang taas nga bisti diha sa iyang hawak, palingkuron niya sila sa kan-anan, ug silbihan sila.
38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
Kung ang agalon muabot sa tungang gabii, o bisan sa kaadlawon, ug makaplagan sila nga andam, bulahan kadto nga mga suluguon.
39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
Timan-i kini, nga kung ang agalon sa panimalay nasayod sa takna sa pag-abot sa kawatan, dili gayod niya pasagdan ang iyang balay nga masulod.
40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Pag-andam usab kamo, tungod kay wala kamo masayod sa takna nga muabot ang Anak sa Tawo.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
Si Pedro miingon, “Ginoo, imoha bang gisulti kining sambingay alang kanamo lamang o sa matag-usa usab?”
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Ang Ginoo nag-ingon, “Kinsa man ang matinud-anon ug maalamon nga tagadumala sa panimalay sa iyang agalon aron maoy magbahinbahin ug pagkaon ngadto sa tanang suluguon sa hustong panahon?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Bulahan kadto nga suluguon, diin nakaplagan sa iyang agalon nga dunay gibuhat sa iyang pag-abot.
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Sultihan ko kamo nga ipiyal gayod kaniya ang tanan niyang katigayonan.
45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
Apan kung ang maong sulugoon magaingon sa iyang kasingkasing, 'Ang akong agalon naglangan sa iyang pagbalik,' ug mosugod pagpamunal sa mga lalaki ug mga babaye nga mga sulugoon, ug magsige ug kaon ug inom, ug mahimong hubog,
46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
ang agalon niadto nga sulugoon moabot sa adlaw nga wala niya gidahom, ug sa takna nga wala niya mahibaloi, ug pagatagudtaguron siya ug magtakda ug dapit alang kaniya uban sa dili mga matinud-anon.
47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
Kadto nga sulugoon, nga nahibalo sa kabubut-on sa iyang agalon, ug unya wala nangandam o nagbuhat sumala sa iyang kabubut-on, pagakastigohon sa makadaghan.
48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
Apan kaniya nga wala mahibalo, ug nakabuhat ug sayop nga angay sa silot, pagakastigohan siya apan diyutay lamang. Ang matag-usa nga gihatagan ug daghan, mas labi pa ang paninglon kaniya, ug si bisan kinsa nga gipiyalan ug daghan, mangayo sila ug mas labaw pa kaniya.
49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
Mianhi ako sa pagsunog sa kalibotan, ug nanghinaot ako nga kini misilaob na.
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Apan aduna akoy bawtismo nga ibawtismo pa kanako, ug dili ako mahimutang hangtod matapos kini!
51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
Nagahunahuna ba kamo nga mianhi ako sa kalibotan aron sa paghatag ug kalinaw? Sultihan ko kamo, dili, apan sa pagkabahinbahin.
52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
Kay sugod karon adunay lima ka tawo sa usa ka balay nga magkabahinbahin, ang tulo batok sa duha, o duha batok sa tulo.
53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
Magkabahinbahin sila, ang amahan batok sa anak nga lalaki, ug anak nga lalaki batok sa amahan; inahan batok sa iyang anak nga babaye, ug anak nga babaye batok sa iyang inahan; ugangang babaye batok sa iyang binalaye, ug binalaye batok sa ugangang babaye.”
54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
Si Jesus nagsulti usab ngadto sa mga katawhan, “Kung makita ninyo ang dag-om nga magagikan sa kasadpan magaingon dayon kamo nga, 'Moabot ang ulan,' ug unya mahitabo kini.
55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
Ug kung mohuros ang hangin sa habagat, magaingon kamo nga, 'Maglagiti ang kainit karon,' ug unya mahitabo kini.
56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
Mga tigpakaaron-ingnon, makabalo kamong mohubad sa dagan sa kalibotan ug sa kalangitan, apan naunsa nga dili kamo makabalo unsaon paghubad sa panahon karon?
57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
Nganong dili man kamo makahukom kung unsay maayo alang sa inyong kaugalingon?
58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
Sa dihang magkuyog kamo sa inyong kaaway paingon sa mahistrado, paningkamoti ang pagpakighusay kaniya diha sa dalan aron nga dili ka niya guyuron didto sa maghuhukom, ug ang maghuhukom dili magtugyan kanimo didto sa opisyal, ug ang opisyal dili magbalhog kanimo sa bilanggoan.
59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Sultihan ko kamo, nga dili gayud kamo makalingkawas gikan didto hangtod nga kabayran ninyo ang katapusang bahin nga salapi.”
