< Luke 13 >

1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
Niadtong higayona, ang ubang tawo didto nanugid kaniya mahitungod sa mga taga-Galilea kansang mga dugo gisagol ni Pilato alang sa ilang kaugalingon nga sakripisyo.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
Mitubag si Jesus ug miingon kanila, “Naghunahuna ba kamo nga mas makasasala kining mga taga-Galilea kaysa sa ubang taga-Galilea tungod kay nag-antos sila sa ingon niini nga pamaagi?
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
Dili, sultihan ko kamo. Apan kung dili kamo maghinulsol, kamong tanan malaglag usab sa samang paagi.
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
O kadtong 18 ka mga tawo sa Siloam nga natumpagan sa tore ug nangamatay sila, naghuna-huna ba kamo nga hilabihan sila ka makasasala kaysa sa laing tawo nga naa sa Jerusalem?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
Dili, Ako moingon. Apan kung dili kamo maghinulsol, kamong tanan malaglag usab.”
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
Nagsulti si Jesus niniing sambingay, “Adunay usa ka tawo nga nagtanom ug kahoy nga higera sa iyang ubasan ug miadto siya ug nagapangita sa bunga niini apan wala siyay nakaplagan.
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
Ang tawo miingon ngadto sa hardenero, 'Tan- awa, sulod sa tulo ka tuig mianhi ako ug nagsulay sa pagpangita sa bunga niining kahoy nga higera apan wala ako'y nakaplagan. Putla kini. Nganong tugotan man kini nga masayang ang yuta?'
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
Mitubag ang hardenero ug miingon, 'Pasagdi kini karong tuiga samtang akong kalutan ang palibot niini ug butangan kini ug abuno.
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
Kung mamonga kini sunod tuig, maayo; Apan kung dili gani, putlon kini!'”
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Karon nagtudlo si Jesus didto sa usa sa mga sinagoga panahon sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay.
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
Tan-awa, usa ka babaye nga atua didto nga adunay daotan nga espiritu sa kaluyahon sulod sa 18 katuig, dili siya makatul-id ug dili makatindog ug tarong.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Sa dihang nakita siya ni Jesus, Iyaha siyang gitawag ug nag-ingon, “Makalingkawas ka sa imong kaluyahon.”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
Gitapion niya ang iyang mga kamot kaniya, ug diha-diha nakabarog siya ug gihimaya niya ang Dios.
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
Apan ang magmamando sa sinagoga nasuko tungod kay si Jesus nang-ayo sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay. Busa mitubag ug nag-ingon ang magmamando ngadto sa panon, “Naay unom ka adlaw nga kinahanglan sa pagtrabaho. Anhi aron magpaayo, dili sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay.”
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
Ang Ginoo miingon kaniya ug mitubag, “Mga tigpakaaron-ingnon! Dili ba matag usa kaninyo magbadbad sa inyong asno o baka sa ilang puloy-anan ug giyahan kini sa pagpa-inom sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Busa mao usab niining anak nga babaye ni Abraham, nga gigapos ni Satanas sulod sa 18 katuig ang gidugayon, dili ba diay kinahanglan badbaron ang iyang bugkos sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay?”
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
Sa pagsulti niya niining mga butanga, ang tanan nga misupak kaniya naulawan, apan ang tibuok panon sa katawhan nangalipay sa tanang mahimayaon nga mga butang nga iyang nahimo.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
Unya miingon si Jesus, “Sama sa unsa ang gingharian sa Dios, ug unsa ang mahimong ikatandi nako niini?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Sama kini sa liso sa mustasa nga kuhaon sa tawo og ilabay ngadto sa iyang tanaman, ug nagtubo kini ngadto sa dako nga kahoy, ug ang mga langgam sa langit maghimo ug mga salag diha sa iyang mga sanga.”
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
Siya misulti pag-usab, “Sa unsa mahimo nakong ikatandi ang gingharian sa Dios?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Sama kini sa patubo nga kuhaon sa babaye ug isagol sa tulo ka taksanan nga harina hangtod nga kini motubo.”
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
Giduaw ni Jesus ang matag lungsod ug bario sa dalan paingon sa Jerusalem ug nanudlo kanila.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Adunay usa ka tawo nga misulti kaniya, “Ginoo, diyutay lang ba ang mga tawo nga maluwas?” Busa gisultian niya sila,
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
“Paningkamot sa pagsulod sa sigpit nga pultahan, tungod kay daghan ang nagsulay ug wala makahimo sa pagsulod.
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
Kon ang tag-iya sa balay motindog ug sirad-an niya ang pultahan, unya magtindog kamo didto sa gawas ug manuktok sa pultahan ug mag-ingon, 'Ginoo, Ginoo, pasudla kami.' Ug siya motubag ug moingon kaninyo. 'Wala ako makaila kaninyo o asa kamo nagikan.'
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
Unya moingon kamo, 'Nangaon ug nag-inom kami sa imong atubangan ug nanudlo ka sa among mga dalan.'
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
Apan siya motubag, 'Sultihan ko kamo, wala ako masayod kung asa kamo gikan. Palayo gikan kanako, magbubuhat sa daotan!'
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
Aduna unyay panaghilak ug magkagot sa mga ngipon sa dihang makita ninyo si Abraham, si Isaac, si Jacob ug ang tanang mga propeta atua sa gingharian sa Dios, apan kamo—kamo ilabay didto sa gawas.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
Mangabot sila gikan sa sidlakan, kasadpan, amihanan, ug sa habagatan, ug magpaharohay didto sa kan-anan nga lamesa sa gingharian sa Dios.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Ug hibal-i kini, ang naulahi maoy mauna, ug ang nauna maoy maulahi.”
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
Sa wala madugay, pipila ka mga Pariseo nangabot ug misulti kaniya, “Lakaw ug biya diri tungod kay gusto ni Herodes nga patyon ka.” Si
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
Jesus miingon, “Lakaw ug sultihi kadtong milo, 'Tan-awa, gihinginlan nako ang mga demonyo ug maghimo ug pagpanambal karon ug ugma, ug sa ikatulo ka adlaw makab-ot nako ang akong tumong.'
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
Sa laing bahin, kinahanglan magpadayon ako karon, ugma, ug sa sunod nga adlaw, sanglit dili angay ang pagpatay sa usa ka propeta nga layo sa Jerusalem.
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, nga nagpatay sa mga propeta ug nagbato niadtong gipadala kaninyo. Kanunay nakong gitinguha ang pagtigom sa imong mga kaanakan sama sa paagi nga ang himungaan nagtigom sa iyang mga piso ilalom sa iyang mga pako, apan wala nimo kini tinguha-a.
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
Tan-awa, ang inyong balay gibiyaan. Sultihan ko kamo, dili ako ninyo makaplagan hangtod nga mosulti kamo, ''Bulahan siya nga mianhi sa ngalan sa Ginoo.'”
