Lucas 5
1 Ngayon nangyari na habang nagsisiksikan ang maraming tao sa palibot ni Jesus at nakikinig sila sa salita ng Diyos, si Jesus ay nakatayo sa tabi ng lawa ng Genesaret.
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 Nakakita siya ng dalawang bangka na nakapagilid sa pampang ng lawa. Nakababa na ang mga mangingisda mula dito at naglilinis sila ng kanilang mga lambat.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 Sumakay si Jesus sa isa sa mga bangka, na pagmamay-ari ni Simon at hiniling niya sa kaniya na dalhin niya ito sa tubig na hindi kalayuan sa dalampasigan. Pagkatapos ay umupo siya at nagturo sa mga tao habang nasa bangka.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 Nang matapos na siyang magsalita, sinabi niya kay Simon, “Dalhin mo ang bangka sa mas malalim na tubig at ibaba ang inyong mga lambat para manghuli”.
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 Sumagot si Simon at sinabi, “Panginoon, magdamag kaming nangisda ngunit wala kaming nahuli, ngunit sa iyong salita, ibababa ko ang mga lambat.”
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 Nang ginawa nila ito, nakahuli sila ng napakaraming bilang ng isda, at ang kanilang mga lambat ay nagsimulang mapunit.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 Kaya't kumaway sila kanilang kasamahan sa kabilang bangka upang puntahan at tulungan sila. Dumating sila at napuno ang dalawang bangka, kaya't sila ay nagsimulang lumubog.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Ngunit nang makita ito ni Simon Pedro, siya ay lumuhod sa paanan ni Jesus, na nagsasabi, “Lumayo ka sa akin, Panginoon, sapagkat ako ay taong makasalanan.”
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 Sapagkat siya ay namangha at ang lahat din na kaniyang mga kasama, sa dami ng isdang kanilang nahuli.
10 Kasama dito sina Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedeo, na mga kasama ni Simon. At sinabi ni Jesus kay Simon, “Huwag kang matakot, sapagkat mula ngayon, mangingisda ka na ng tao.”
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 Nang madala nila sa dalampasigan ang kanilang mga bangka, iniwan nila ang lahat at sumunod sa kaniya.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 At nangyari nga na habang siya ay nasa isa sa mga lungsod, isang taong puno ng ketong ang naroon. Nang makita niya si Jesus, siya ay nagpatirapa at nagmakaawa sa kaniya, na nagsabi, “Panginoon, kung iyong nanaisin, ako ay maaari mong linisin.”
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 Pagkatapos, inabot ni Jesus ang kaniyang kamay at hinawakan siya, na sinasabi, “Nais ko. Maging malinis ka.” At agad nawala ang kaniyang ketong.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 Siya ay pinagbilinan niya na huwag ipagsabi kahit kanino, sa halip, sinabi sa kaniya, “Pumunta ka sa iyong pupuntahan, at magpakita ka sa mga pari at mag-alay ka ng handog para sa iyong ikalilinis, batay sa mga kautusan ni Moises, bilang pagpapatotoo sa kanila.”
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 Ngunit ang balita tungkol sa kaniya ay lalong kumalat, at maraming mga tao ang dumating upang pakinggan siyang magturo at upang mapagaling sa kanilang mga sakit.
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 Ngunit siya ay madalas pumunta sa mga lugar na ilang at nanalangin.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 At nangyari nga sa isa sa mga araw na iyon na siya ay nagtuturo, at mayroong mga Pariseo at mga tagapagturo ng kautusan ang nakaupo roon na nagmula pa sa mga iba't-ibang lugar sa mga rehiyon ng Galilea at Judea, at mula rin sa lungsod ng Jerusalem. Ang kapangyarihan ng Panginoon ay nasa kaniya upang magpagaling.
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 Ngayon ay may mga lalaking dumating, binubuhat ang isang paralitikong lalaki na nakalagay sa higaan, at sila ay naghanap ng paraan upang maipasok siya at mailagay sa harapan ni Jesus.
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Hindi sila makahanap ng paraan upang siya ay maipasok dahil sa dami ng tao, kaya sila ay umakyat sa bubungan ng bahay at ibinaba nila ang lalaking nasa higaan sa kalagitnaan ng mga tao, sa mismong harapan ni Jesus.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Pagkakita niya sa kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi ni Jesus, “Lalaki, pinatawad ka na sa iyong mga kasalanan.”
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 Ang mga eskriba at ang mga Pariseo ay nagsimulang magtanong tungkol dito, na sinasabi, “Sino itong nagsasalita ng kalapastanganan sa Diyos?” Sino ang nagpapatawad ng kasalanan, hindi ba't ang Diyos lamang?”
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 Ngunit si Jesus, na nalalaman ang kanilang mga iniisip, sumagot at sinabi sa kanila, “Bakit ninyo ito inuusisa sa inyong mga puso?
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 Alin ang mas madaling sabihin, 'Napatawad ka na ng iyong mga kasalanan' o ang sabihing 'Tumayo ka at maglakad?'
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 Ngunit upang malaman ninyo na ang Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihan sa mundo upang magpatawad ng mga kasalanan, sinasabi ko sa iyo, 'Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at pumunta ka sa iyong bahay.'”
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 Agad siyang tumayo sa kanilang harapan at binuhat ang kaniyang higaan; pagkatapos ay bumalik siya sa kaniyang bahay, na niluluwalhati ang Diyos.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 Ang lahat ay namangha at niluwalhati nila ang Diyos. Sila ay napuno ng takot na sinasabi, “Nakakita tayo ng mga hindi pangkaraniwang bagay sa araw na ito.”
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 Pagkatapos mangyari ang mga bagay na ito, si Jesus ay umalis doon at nakita ang isang maniningil ng buwis na nagngangalang Levi, na nakaupo sa lugar kung saan siya nangongolekta ng buwis. Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Sumunod ka sa akin.”
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 Kaya't iniwan ni Levi ang lahat, tumayo, at sumunod sa kaniya.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 Pagkatapos ay naghanda si Levi sa kaniyang bahay ng malaking handaan para kay Jesus, at maraming mga maniningil ng buwis ang nandoon, at iba pang mga taong nakasandal sa mesa ang kumakain kasama nila.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 Ngunit ang mga Pariseo at kanilang mga eskriba ay nagreklamo sa kaniyang mga alagad, na nagsasabi, “Bakit kayo kumakain at umiinom kasama ang mga naniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga taong makasalanan?”
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila, “Ang mga taong malulusog ay hindi nangangailangan ng manggagamot, ang mga taong may sakit lamang ang nangangailangan nito.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 Hindi ako dumating upang tawagin sa pagsisisi ang mga taong matuwid, kundi tawagin sa pagsisisi ang mga taong makasalanan.”
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Ang mga alagad ni Juan ay madalas nag-aayuno at nananalangin, gayundin ang mga alagad ng mga Pariseo. Ngunit ang iyong mga alagad ay kumakain at umiinom.”
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Mayroon bang mag-uutos sa mga panauhin ng kasal na mag-ayuno habang kapiling pa nila ang lalaking ikakasal?
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 Subalit darating ang mga araw na aalisin mula sa kanila ang lalaking ikakasal, at sa mga araw na iyon sila ay mag-aayuno.”
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 Pagkatapos ay nagbahagi din si Jesus ng isang talinghaga sa kanila, “Walang tao ang gugupit ng kapirasong tela mula sa bagong damit upang tagpiin ang lumang damit. Kung ganyan ang gagawin niya, mapupunit niya ang bagong damit, at ang kapirasong tela mula sa bagong damit ay hindi babagay sa tela ng lumang damit.
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 Gayundin naman, walang tao ang naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang balat. Kapag ginawa niya ito, puputukin ng bagong alak ang mga sisidlang balat, at matatapon ang mga alak, at ang mga sisidlan ay masisira.
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 Ngunit ang mga bagong alak ay marapat na ilagay sa bagong sisidlang balat.
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 Walang tao na pagkatapos uminom ng lumang alak, ay maghahangad na uminom ng bagong alak, dahil sasabihin niya, 'Ang luma ay mas mabuti.'”
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
