< Luke 8 >
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Pagkatapos, nangyari agad na si Jesus ay nagsimulang maglakbay sa iba't ibang mga lungsod at mga nayon, nangangaral at nagpapahayag ng magandang balita tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos at ang Labindalawa ay sumama sa kaniya,
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
at gayundin ang mga ilang kababaihan na napagaling mula sa mga masasamang espiritu at mga karamdaman. Sila ay sina Maria na tinatawag na Magdalena, na mula sa kaniya ay pitong demonyo ang pinalayas,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
si Juana ang asawa ni Cusa, na tagapangasiwa ni Herodes, si Susana at marami pang ibang mga kababaihan na nagbigay sa kanilang pangangailangan mula sa kanilang sariling mga pinagkukunan.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Ngayon, nang ang napakaraming bilang ng tao ay nagtipun-tipon, kasama ang mga tao na pumupunta sa kaniya mula sa iba't-ibang mga lungsod, siya ay nagsalita sa kanila gamit ang isang talinghaga.
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
“May isang manghahasik na lumabas upang maghasik ng mga butil. Sa kaniyang paghahasik, ang ilang mga butil ay nahulog sa tabi ng daan at ang mga ito ay natapakan, at nilamon ang mga ibon sa langit ang mga ito.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Ang ibang mga butil ay nahulog sa mabatong lupa, at agad sa kanilang pagtubo, ang mga ito ay nalanta dahil sa kawalan ng halumigmig.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Ang ibang mga butil naman ay nahulog sa mga matitinik na halaman, at ang mga matitinik na halaman ay tumubo kasabay ng mga butil at sinakal ang mga ito.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Ngunit ang ilang mga butil ay nahulog sa mabuting lupa at namunga ng higit pa sa isandaan.” Pagkatapos na sabihin ni Jesus ang mga bagay na ito, siya ay nangusap, “Sinuman ang may taingang pandinig, makinig siya.”
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Pagkatapos, ang kaniyang mga alagad ay nagtanong kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng talinghagang ito.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ipinagkaloob sa inyo ang karapatang maunawaan ang mga hiwaga sa kaharian ng Diyos, ngunit ang ibang mga tao ay tuturuan lamang sa mga talinghaga, kaya tumingin man sila ay hindi talaga sila makakakita, at makinig man sila ay hindi talaga sila makakaunawa.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Ngayon, ito ang ibig sabihin ng talinghaga. Ang butil ay ang salita ng Diyos.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Ang mga butil na nahulog sa tabi ng daan ay ang mga taong nakarinig ng salita ngunit ang diyablo ay dumating at kinuha ang salita mula sa kanilang puso upang sila ay hindi manampalataya at mailigtas.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
At ang mga nahulog sa mabatong lupa ay ang mga tao na, nang marinig nila ang salita, tinanggap nila ito nang may galak, ngunit sila ay walang anumang mga ugat; sila ay maniniwala nang panandalian at pagkatapos, sa panahon ng pagsubok, sila ay tumiwalag.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Ang mga butil na nahulog sa mga matitinik na halaman ay ang mga taong nakarinig ng salita ngunit sa kanilang pagtahak ng daan, sila ay nasakal ng kanilang mga alalahanin at mga kayamanan at mga kaligayahan sa buhay na ito, kaya wala silang bungang madala sa paglago.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Ngunit ang mga butil na nahulog sa mabuting lupa, ito ay ang mga tao na may tapat at mabuting puso, pagkatapos nilang marinig ang salita, ito ay kanilang pinanghawakan nang mabuti at nagbunga nang may pagtitiyaga.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Ngayon, walang sinuman, na kung kaniyang sisindihan ang ilawan ay tatakpan ito ng mangkok o ilalagay ito sa ilalim ng kama. Sa halip ito ay kaniyang ilalagay sa patungan ng ilawan, upang ang lahat ng papasok ay makikita ang liwanag.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Sapagkat walang nakatago na hindi malalaman, ni anumang lihim na hindi malalaman at mabubunyag sa liwanag.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Kaya mag-ingat kung paano kayo makinig, dahil kung sinuman ang mayroon, siya ay bibigyan pa ng mas marami, at kung sinuman ang wala ay kukunin kahit na ang inaakala niyang mayroon siya.”
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Pagkatapos, ang ina at mga kapatid na lalaki ni Jesus ay lumapit sa kaniya, ngunit sila ay hindi makalapit dahil sa napakaraming tao.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
At ito ay sinabi sa kaniya, “Ang iyong ina at ang iyong mga kapatid na lalaki ay nakatayo sa labas, ninanais kang makita.”
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Ngunit sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Ang aking ina at ang aking mga kapatid na lalaki ay ang mga nakikinig ng salita ng Diyos at sinusunod ito.”
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Ngayon, nangyari isa sa mga araw na iyon na si Jesus at ang kaniyang mga alagad ay sumakay sa isang bangka, at sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta tayo sa kabilang dako ng lawa.” At sila ay naglayag.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Ngunit sa kanilang paglalayag, si Jesus ay nakatulog, at isang bagyo na may napakalakas na hangin ang dumating sa buong lawa, at ang kanilang bangka ay nagsimulang mapuno ng tubig, at sila ay nasa matinding panganib.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
At lumapit ang mga alagad ni Jesus sa kaniya at siya ay ginising, nagsasabi, “Panginoon! Panginoon! Tayo ay nasa bingit ng kamatayan!” Siya ay gumising at sinaway ang hangin at ang nagngangalit na tubig at ang mga ito ay humupa, at nagkaroon ng kapanatagan.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Nasaan ang inyong pananampalataya?” Sa pagkatakot, sila ay lubos na namangha, at sinabi sa isa't isa. “Sino nga kaya ito, na kaniyang nauutusan kahit na ang mga hangin at tubig at ang mga ito ay sumusunod sa kaniya?”
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Dumating sila sa rehiyon ng Geraseno, na katapat ng Galilea.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Nang nakababa si Jesus sa lupa, may isang lalaki mula sa lungsod ang sumalubong sa kaniya at ang lalaking ito ay may mga demonyo. Sa matagal na panahon, siya ay walang suot na damit at hindi tumira sa isang bahay, sa halip, ay sa mga libingan.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Nang makita niya si Jesus, sumigaw siya at lumuhod sa harap niya. Sa malakas na tinig kaniyang sinabing, “Ano ang kinalaman ko sa iyo, Jesus, Anak ng Kataas-taasang Diyos? Nakikiusap ako sayo, huwag mo akong pahirapan.”
Sapagkat inuutusan ni Jesus ang maruming espiritu na umalis sa lalaking iyon, dahil maraming beses na siyang sinaniban nito. Kahit na siya ay nakagapos sa mga kadena at mga tanikala at binabantayan nang mabuti, napuputol niya ang mga gapos at dinadala ng demonyo sa ilang.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
At nagtanong sa kaniya si Jesus, “Ano ang iyong pangalan?” At siya ay sumagot, “Pulutong”, dahil maraming demonyo ang sumanib sa kaniya.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos )
Patuloy silang nagsusumamo sa kaniya na huwag silang utusang itapon sa bangin na napakalalim. (Abyssos )
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Ngayon, may kawan ng mga baboy na kumakain sa burol, at nakiusap ang mga demonyo na payagan silang pasukin ang mga baboy. Pinahintulutan niya silang gawin ito.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Kaya ang mga demonyo ay lumabas sa lalaki at pumasok sa mga baboy, at ang kawan ng baboy ay tumakbo nang mabilis pababa ng matarik na burol papunta sa lawa at nalunod.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Nang makita ng mga lalaki na nagbabantay sa mga baboy ang nangyari, tumakbo sila at ibinalita ito sa lungsod at sa kabukiran.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Kaya ang mga taong nakarinig tungkol dito ay lumabas upang makita kung ano ang nangyari, at sila ay pumunta kay Jesus at nakita nila ang lalaki na pinalaya mula sa mga demonyo. Siya ay nakadamit at nasa matinong pag-iisip, nakaupo sa paanan ni Jesus at sila ay natakot.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Pagkatapos, ang mga nakakita sa nangyari ay sinabi sa iba kung paanong ang lalaking dating nasasaniban ng mga demonyo ay nailigtas.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Lahat ng taong nasa rehiyon ng Geraseno at sa palibot na mga lugar ay humiling kay Jesus na lumayo sa kanila, sapagkat sila ay nabalot ng matinding takot. Kaya siya ay sumakay sa bangka upang bumalik.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Ang lalaki na napalaya mula sa mga demonyo ay nagmakaawa kay Jesus na siya ay hayaang sumama kasama niya, ngunit siya ay pinaalis ni Jesus, na sinasabing,
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
“Bumalik ka sa iyong bahay at sabihin ang lahat ng mga kahanga-hangang bagay na ginawa ng Diyos para sa iyo.” Ang lalaki ay umalis, ipinahayag sa buong lungsod ang lahat ng mga kamangha-manghang bagay na ginawa ni Jesus para sa kaniya.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Sa pagbabalik ni Jesus, sinalubong siya ng napakaraming tao, dahil sa sila ay naghihintay sa kaniya.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Masdan ito, may isang lalaki na dumating na nagngangalang Jairo, at siya ay isa sa mga pinuno ng sinagoga. Si Jairo ay lumuhod sa paanan ni Jesus at nakiusap na pumunta sa kaniyang bahay,
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
dahil sa siya ay may kaisa-isang anak na babae, na nasa labindalawang taon ang edad, at siya ay nag-aagaw-buhay. Ngunit nang papunta siya kay Jesus, maraming tao ang nagsisiksikan sa kaniya.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Isang babae ang naroroon na labindalawang taon nang dinudugo at ginugol ang lahat ng kaniyang pera sa mga manggagamot, ngunit hindi siya mapagaling ng kahit sinuman sa kanila.
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Siya ay pumunta sa likuran ni Jesus at hinipo ang laylayan ng kaniyang damit, at agad na huminto ang kaniyang pagdurugo.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
Sinabi ni Jesus, “Sino ang humipo sa akin?” Nang ang lahat ay tumanggi, sinabi ni Pedro, “Panginoon, napakaraming tao ang nagsisiksikan sa inyo at sila ay nanggigitgit sa inyo.
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “May isa ngang humipo sa akin, dahil alam ko na may kapangyarihang lumabas sa akin.”
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Nang makita ng babae na hindi niya maitago ang kaniyang ginawa, siya ay lumapit na nanginginig. Habang lumuluhod sa harap ni Jesus, ipinahayag niya sa harap ng lahat ng tao ang dahilan ng paghipo niya sa kaniya at kung paano siya gumaling agad.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Anak, ang iyong pananampalataya ang siyang nagpagaling sa iyo. Humayo ka nang may kapayapaan.”
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Habang siya ay patuloy pang nagsasalita, may isang lumapit mula sa bahay ng pinuno ng sinagoga, na nagsasabi, “Ang iyong anak na babae ay patay na. Huwag mong gambalain ang guro.”
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Ngunit nang marinig iyon ni Jesus, siya ay sumagot sa kaniya, “Huwag kang matakot. Manampalataya ka lang, at siya ay maliligtas.”
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Pagkatapos, nang siya ay dumating sa bahay, hindi niya pinayagan ang sinuman na pumasok kasama niya, maliban kina Pedro, Juan, at Santiago, ang ama ng batang babae, at ang kaniyang ina.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Ngayon, lahat ng taong naroroon ay nagluluksa at tumataghoy para sa kaniya, ngunit sinabi niya, “Huwag kayong tumaghoy. Hindi siya patay, ngunit natutulog lamang.”
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Ngunit siya ay pinagtawanan nila nang may pangungutya, sa pagkakaalam na siya ay patay na.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Ngunit hinawakan niya ang batang babae sa kaniyang mga kamay, tumawag, na nagsasabing, “Bata, tumayo ka.”
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Ang espiritu ng bata ay bumalik, at siya ay agad na bumangon. Nag-utos si Jesus na bigyan siya ng makakain.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Namangha ang mga magulang ng bata, ngunit inutusan sila ni Jesus na huwag sabihin kanino man kung ano ang nangyari.
