Lucas 10
1 Ngayon, pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, ang Panginoon ay naghirang ng pitumpung iba pa, at isinugo sila nang dalawahan para mauna sa kaniya sa bawat lungsod at lugar na ninanais niyang puntahan.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Marami ang aanihin, ngunit ang manggagawa ay kakaunti. Kaya nga madaliing manalangin sa Panginoon ng ani, upang magpadala siya ng manggagawa sa kaniyang ani.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Humayo kayo sa inyong lakad. Tingnan, Sinusugo ko kayo bilang mga tupa sa gitna ng mga lobo.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Huwag kayong magdala ng lalagyan ng pera, lalagyang panglakbay, ni mga sandalyas, at huwag ninyong batiin ang sinuman sa daan.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Anumang mga bahay na inyong tutuluyan, una ninyong sabihin, 'Magkaroon nawa ng kapayapaan sa bahay na ito.'
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Kung ang isang taong payapa ay naroon, ang inyong kapayapaan ay mapapasakaniya, ngunit kung hindi, ito ay babalik sa iyo.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 Manatili kayo sa bahay na iyon, kumain at uminom ng anumang ibigay nila, sapagkat ang manggagawa ay karapat-dapat sa kaniyang sahod. Huwag kayong magpalipat-lipat ng bahay.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 Sa lungsod na inyong tutuluyan, at kayo ay tinanggap, kumain kayo ng anumang ihain sa inyong harapan,
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 at pagalingin ninyo ang may sakit na naroroon. Sabihin niyo sa kanila, 'Ang kaharian ng Diyos ay malapit na sa inyo.'
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Ngunit sa anumang mga lungsod na inyong pupuntahan, at hindi nila kayo tinanggap, pumunta kayo sa mga lansangan nito at sabihin,
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 'Kahit ang alikabok mula sa inyong lungsod na kumapit sa aming mga paa ay aming pinupunasan laban sa inyo! Ngunit alamin ito, ang kaharian ng Diyos ay malapit na.'
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Sinasabi ko sa inyo na sa araw ng paghuhukom, higit na mapagtitiisan ang Sodoma kaysa sa lungsod na iyon.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Aba sa inyo, Corazin! Aba sa inyo Betsaida! Kung ang makapangyarihang mga gawa na nagawa sa inyo ay nagawa sa Tiro at Sidon, matagal na sana silang nagsisi, na nakaupo sa telang magaspang at sa mga abo.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Ngunit mapagtitiisan pa ang Tiro at Sidon sa panahon ng paghuhukom kaysa sa inyo.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 Ikaw, Capernaum, naiisip mo ba na ikaw ay itataas sa langit? Hindi, kayo ay ibababa sa Hades. (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Ang nakikinig sa inyo ay nakikinig sa akin, at ang tumatanggi sa inyo ay tumatanggi sa akin, at ang tumatanggi sa akin ay tumatanggi sa nagsugo sa akin.”
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Bumalik ang pitumpu na may kagalakan, nagsasabing, “Panginoon, kahit ang mga demonyo ay nagpasakop sa amin sa iyong pangalan.”
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Pinanood ko si Satanas na nahulog mula sa langit gaya ng kidlat.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Tingnan, binigyan ko kayo ng kapangyarihan na tapakan ang mga ahas, at ang mga alakdan, at sa lahat ng kapangyarihan ng kaaway, at walang makapananakit sa inyo sa anumang paraan.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Gayon pa man huwag kayong magalak lamang sa mga ito, na ang mga espiritu ay sumusunod sa inyo, ngunit higit na magalak na ang inyong mga pangalan ay nakasulat sa langit.”
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 Sa parehong oras na iyon, siya ay nagalak nang lubusan sa Banal na Espiritu, at sinabi, “Pinupuri kita, O Ama, Panginoon ng langit at lupa, dahil itinago mo ang mga bagay na ito mula sa matatalino at nakakaunawa, at ipinahayag ang mga ito sa mga walang muwang, tulad ng mga maliliit na bata. Oo, Ama, sapagkat ito ay nakalulugod sa inyong paningin.”
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 ''Ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ipinagkatiwala sa akin mula sa aking Ama, at walang nakakakilala sa Anak maliban sa Ama, at walang nakakakilala sa Ama maliban sa Anak, at kanino man na naisin ng Anak na ipahayag siya.”
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Nang humarap siya sa mga alagad, sinabi niya nang bukod, “Pinagpala ang mga nakakakita sa mga bagay na nakikita ninyo.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, maraming mga propeta at mga hari na hinangad na makita ang mga bagay na inyong nakikita, at hindi nila ito nakita, at marinig ang mga bagay na inyong naririnig, at hindi nila narinig.”
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Masdan ito, may isang guro ng kautusan ng Judio na tumindig at sinubukan siya, sinabi, “Guro, anong dapat kong gawin upang magmana ng walang hanggang buhay?” (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Ano ang nakasulat sa kautusan? Paano mo ito binabasa?”
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 Sumagot na nagsabi siya, “Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso, nang buong kaluluwa, nang buong lakas, at nang buong kaisipan, at ang iyong kapwa gaya ng iyong sarili.”
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Tama ang iyong sinabi. Gawin mo ito, at mabubuhay ka.”
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Ngunit ang guro na naghahangad na na bigyang katuwiran ang kaniyang sarili, ay nagsabi kay Jesus, “At sino ang aking kapwa?”
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Sumagot na nagsabi si Jesus, “May isang tao na bumaba sa Jerico mula sa Jerusalem. Nahulog siya sa kamay ng mga magnanakaw, na sumamsam sa kaniyang mga ari-arian, at binugbog siya, at iniwan siyang halos patay na.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Nagkataon na may isang pari ang bumaba sa daang iyon, at nang siya ay nakita nito, siya ay dumaan sa kabila ng daan.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Gayon din naman sa isang Levita, nang siya ay dumating sa lugar at nakita siya, ay dumaan sa kabila ng daan.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Ngunit isang Samaritano, sa kaniyang paglalakbay, ay dumating sa kinaroroonan niya. Nang makita siya, siya ay nahabag.
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Lumapit siya sa kaniya at binendahan ang kaniyang mga sugat, nilagyan ng langis at alak ang mga ito. Sinakay siya sa kaniyang sariling hayop, at dinala siya sa bahay-panuluyan, at inalagaan siya.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Nang sumunod na araw, siya ay kumuha ng dalawang denaryo, at ibinigay sa katiwala ng bahay-panuluyan, at sinabi, 'Alagaan mo siya at anumang magagastos mong labis, sa aking pagbalik, babayaran kita.'
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Sino sa tatlong ito, sa tingin mo, ang naging isang kapwa sa kaniya na nahulog sa mga magnanakaw?”
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Sinabi ng guro, “Ang nagpakita ng awa sa kaniya.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Humayo ka at gayon din ang gawin mo.”
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Ngayon sa pagpapatuloy ng kanilang paglalakbay, siya ay pumunta sa isang nayon, at isang babaeng nagngangalang Marta ang tumanggap sa kaniya sa loob ng kaniyang bahay.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Mayroon siyang isang kapatid na nagngangalang Maria, na nakaupo sa paanan ng Panginoon at nakinig sa kaniyang salita.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Ngunit si Marta ay sobrang abala sa paghahanda ng pagkain. Lumapit siya kay Jesus, at sinabi, “Panginoon, pababayaan mo ba na iniwan ako ng aking kapatid na mag-isang maglingkod? Kaya sabihin mo sa kaniya na tulungan ako.”
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Ngunit sumagot ang Panginoon at sinabi sa kaniya, “Marta, Marta, masyado kang abala tungkol sa maraming bagay,
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 ngunit iisang bagay lamang ang kinakailangan. Pinili ni Maria kung ano ang pinakamabuti, na hindi makukuha mula sa kaniya.”
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
