< Luke 14 >

1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Nahitabo usa ka Adlaw niana sa adlaw nga Igpapahulay, sa dihang niadto siya sa balay sa usa sa mga pangulo sa Pariseo aron mokaon ug tinapay, aron nga ila siyang bantayan pag-ayo.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Tan-awa, sa iyang atubangan adunay tawo nga nag-antos sa sakit nga edema.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Nangutana si Jesus sa usa ka eksperto sa balaod sa Judio ug sa mga Pariseo, “Uyon ba sa balaod ang pagpang-ayo sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay, o dili?”
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Apan wala sila motingog. Busa gigunitan siya ni Jesus, giayo siya, ug gipalakaw siya sa layo.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Miingon siya kanila, “Kinsa kaninyo ang adunay anak nga lalaki o baka nga nahulog sa atabay sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay dili ba ninyo dayon kuhaon pagawas?”
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Wala sila makahimo sa paghatag ug tubag niining mga butanga.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Sa dihang si Jesus nakamatikod kung giunsa niadtong mga dinapit sa pagpili niadtong mga lingkoranan sa mga halangdon, nagsulti siya sa sambingay, nag-ingon ngadto kanila,
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
“Sa dihang dapiton kamo sa usa ka tawo ngadto sa kumbira sa kasal, ayaw paglingkod sa lingkoranan sa mga halangdon, tungod kay tingalig adunay gidapit nga mga tawo nga mas halangdon pa kay kaninyo.
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
Sa dihang ang tawo nga nagdapit kaninyong duha moabot, moingon siya kaninyo, 'Ihatag sa lain nga tawo kanang imong lugar,' ug unya sa kaulaw mahiadto ka sa mas ubos nga dapit.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Apan sa dihang dapiton kamo, lakaw ug lingkod sa mas ubos nga dapit, aron inig-abot sa tawo nga nagdapit kaninyo, moingon siya kaninyo, 'Higala, anhi diri sa taas.' Unya pasidunggan kamo sa kadaghanan nga naglingkod sa lingkoranan uban kaninyo.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Tungod kay ang matag-usa nga mopataas sa iyang kaugalingon ipaubos, ug siya nga naagpaubos sa iyang kaugalingon ipataas.”
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Ug miingon usab si Jesus ngadto sa tawo nga nagdapit kaniya, “Kung mohatag ka ug paniudto o panihapon, ayaw dapita ang imong mga higala o mga igsoon o imong mga paryente o ang imong dato nga mga silingan, kay tingalig modapit usab sila kanimo agig balos, ug ikaw mabayran.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Apan sa dihang maghatag ka ug bangkete, dapita ang mga kabus, ang piang, ang pongkol, ug ang buta,
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
ug panalanginan ka, kay dili man sila makabalos kanimo. Pagabalusan ka ra unya sa pagbanhaw sa mga matarong.”
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Sa dihang ang usa sa ila milingkod sa lamesa uban kang Jesus nakadungog niini nga mga butang, miingon siya kaniya, “Bulahan siya nga magakaon ug tinapay sa gingharian sa Dios!”
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Apan miingon si Jesus ngadto kaniya, “Adunay tawo nag-andam ug dakong panihapon ug gidapit ang kadaghanan.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Sa dihang andam na ang panihapon, gipadala niya ang iyang sulugoon sa pagsulti niadtong mga dinapit, 'Ngari kamo, kay ang tanang butang karon andam na.'
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Managsama silang nagbuhat ug mga pasangil. Ang usa nag-ingon ngadto kaniya, 'Nakapalit ako ug uma, ug kinahanglan moadto ako aron sa pagtan-aw niini.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Palihog pasayloa ako.' Ang uban miingon, 'Nakapalit ako ug lima ka paris nga mga torong baka, ug moadto ako aron sulayan sila. Palihog pasayloa ako.'
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Ug ang usa miingon, 'Aduna akoy giminyoan nga asawa, ug dili ako makaadto.'
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
Ang sulugoon miabot ug miingon sa iyang agalon niining mga butanga. Ug ang agalon sa balay nasuko ug miingon sa iyang sulugoon, 'Gawas dayon didto sa kadalanan ug agianan sa mga siyudad ug dad-a dinhi ang mga kabus, ang mga piang, ang buta, ug ang bakol.'
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Ang sulugoon miingon, 'Agalon, ang imong gisugo natuman na, ug aduna pa gihapoy luna.'
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Ang agalon miingon ngadto sa iyang sulugoon, 'Gawas ngadto sa kadalanan ug mga koral ug pugsa sila sa pagpaadto sa akong balay, aron ang akong balay mapuno.
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Kay sultihan ko ikaw, wala niadtong mga tawhana nga unang gidapit nga makatilaw sa akong panihapon.'''
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Karon dakong panon sa mga katawhan mikuyog uban kaniya, ug milingi siya ug miingon ngadto kanila,
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
“Kung bisan kinsa kadtong moduol kanako ug dili niya kasilagan ang iyang kaugalingong amahan, inahan, asawa, anak mga igsoon nga lalaki ug mga igsoon nga babaye—oo, ug ang iyang kaugalingon usab dili siya mahimo nga akong disipulo.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
Ug kinsa kadtong dili magpas-an sa iyang kaugalingong krus ug mosunod ngari kanako dili mahimo nga akong disipulo.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Kay kinsa kaninyo, nga nagplano sa pagtukod ug tore, dili ba una molingkod ug kwentahon ang kantidad aron mabana-bana kung naa bay igo nga kinahanglanon aron makumpleto kini?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Kon dili, sa dihang iyang gibutang ang pundasyon ug dili siya makahimo sa paghuman niini, ang tanang makakita niini mosugod sa pagbiay-biay kaniya,
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
sa pag-ingon, 'Kining tawhana nagsugod sa pagtukod apan dili makahimo sa paghuman.'
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
O unsang hari, nga samtang moadto siya aron makig-away sa ubang hari didto sa giyera, dili ba molingkod una aron mokuha ug tambag mahitungod kung makahimo ba siya sa pagpakig-away uban sa napulo ka libo ka kalalakin-an aron makig-away sa ubang hari nga moabot batok kaniya uban sa 20 ka libo nga kalalakin-an?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Ug kon dili, samtang ang ubang sundalo layo pa kaayo, nagpadala siya ug mga tigpamaba ug nangutana sa kahimtang sa kalinaw.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Busa, kinsa man kaninyo ang dili motugyan sa tanang anaa kaniya dili mamahimong akong disipulo.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Ang asin maayo, apan kung ang asin mawad-an ug kalami, unsa-on man kini nga mamahimong parat pag-usab?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Kini dili na magamit sa yuta o bisan ngadto sa pundok sa hugaw sa mga hayop. Ilabay kini sa layo. Kinsa kadtong adunay dalunggan nga makabati, papamatia siya.”
