Lucas 9
1 Tinawag niya ang Labindalawa at binigyan sila ng kapangyarihan at karapatan laban sa lahat ng mga demonyo at upang magpagaling ng mga sakit.
[One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
2 Sila ay isinugo niya upang ipangaral ang kaharian ng Diyos at upang pagalingin ang mga may sakit.
[Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
3 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong magdadala ng anuman para sa inyong paglalakbay—maging tungkod, o pitaka, o tinapay o salapi—ni magdala ng dalawang panloob na tunika.”
he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
4 Saanmang bahay kayo pumasok, manatili kayo doon hanggang sa pag-alis ninyo sa lugar na iyon.
Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
5 Para naman sa mga hindi tatanggap sa inyo, kung kayo ay aalis sa lungsod na iyon, pagpagin ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa bilang patotoo laban sa kanila.”
[In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
6 Pagkatapos sila ay umalis at pumunta sa mga nayon, ipinapahayag ang magandang balita at nagpapagaling ng mga tao sa lahat ng dako.
Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
7 At ngayon, narinig ni Herodes na tetrarka ang tungkol sa lahat ng mga nangyayari at siya ay lubhang nabahala, sapagkat sinasabi ng iba na si Juan na Tagapagbautismo ay nabuhay muli mula sa kamatayan,
Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
8 at sinabi ng iba na nagpakita si Elias, at sabi ng iba na isa sa mga sinaunang propeta ang muling nabuhay.
Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
9 Sinabi ni Herodes, “Pinapugutan ko si Juan, ngunit patungkol kanino itong mga bagay na naririnig ko?” At sinubukan ni Herodes na gumawa ng paraan upang makita si Jesus.
But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
10 Nang bumalik ang mga isinugo ni Jesus, sinabi nila sa kaniya ang lahat ng kanilang mga ginawa. Pagkatapos, isinama niya sila sa isang lungsod na tinatawag na Betsaida.
When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Ngunit narinig ito ng mga tao at sumunod sa kaniya, at sila ay tinanggap niya, at siya ay nagsalita sa kanila tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos, at pinagaling ang mga nangailangan ng kagalingan.
But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
12 Nang patapos na ang araw, lumapit sa kaniya ang Labindalawa at sinabi, “Pauwiin mo na ang mga tao upang sila ay makapunta sa mga kalapit na nayon at kabukiran upang makapaghanap ng matutuluyan at makakain sapagkat tayo ay nasa ilang na lugar.”
Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
13 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain.” Sinabi nila, “Ang mayroon po tayo ay hindi hihigit sa limang tinapay at dalawang isda, maliban na lamang kung kami ay bibili ng pagkain para sa mga taong ito.
But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
14 Mayroong nasa limanlibong lalaki ang naroon. Sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, “Paupuin ninyo sila sa grupong may tiglilimampung bilang.”
There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
15 At ginawa nila iyon at lahat ng mga tao ay umupo.
After they told the people that, they all sat down.
16 Kinuha niya ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, at habang nakatingin sa langit, pinagpasalamatan niya ang mga ito, at pinagpira-piraso, at ibinigay niya ito sa kaniyang mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao.
Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
17 Silang lahat ay nakakain at nabusog, at ang mga tira sa mga pagkain ay pinulot at napuno ang labindalawang basket.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
18 Nangyari nga, na habang siya ay mag-isang nananalangin, kasama ang kaniyang mga alagad, at sila ay kaniyang tinanong na sinasabi, “Ano ang sinasabi ng maraming tao kung sino ako?”
[One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
19 Sumagot sila at nagsabi, “Si Juan na Tagapagbautismo, ngunit ang iba ay nagsasabing ikaw ay si Elias, ang iba ay nagsasabing isa ka sa mga propeta mula noong unang panahon na nabuhay muli.”
They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
20 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ngunit sino ako para sa inyo?” Sumagot si Pedro at sinabi, “Ang Cristo na nagmula sa Diyos.”
He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
21 Ngunit nagbigay siya ng babala sa kanila, binilin sa kanila ni Jesus na huwag nila itong ipagsabi sa kahit kaninuman,
Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
22 sinasabi niya na ang Anak ng Tao ay kailangang dumanas ng maraming bagay at hindi tatanggapin ng mga nakatatanda, mga punong-pari at mga eskriba, at siya ay papatayin, at sa ikatlong araw ay bubuhayin muli.
Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
23 Sinabi niya sa kanilang lahat, “Kung sinuman ang may gustong sumunod sa akin, kailangan niyang tanggihan ang kaniyang sarili, pasanin niya ang kaniyang krus araw-araw, at sumunod sa akin.
Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
24 Sinumang sumubok na iligtas ang kaniyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, at kung sinuman ang mawawalan ng kaniyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay maliligtas ito.
You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
25 Ano ang mapapala ng tao kung makamit niya ang buong mundo, ngunit mawawala o mapapahamak naman ang kaniyang sarili?
People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
26 Ang sinuman na ikakahiya ako at ang aking mga salita, siya din ay ikakahiya ng Anak ng Tao kapag siya ay dumating na nasa kaniyang sariling kaluwalhatian, at sa kaluwalhatian ng Ama, at ng mga banal na anghel.
Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
27 Ngunit katotohanang sinasabi sa inyo, mayroong iba sa inyong nakatayo dito, na hindi makatitikim ng kamatayan hanggang sa makita nila ang kaharian ng Diyos.”
But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
28 At nangyari, pagkalipas ng mga walong araw pagkatapos sabihin ni Jesus ang mga salitang ito, dinala niya sina Pedro, Juan, at Santiago, at umakyat ng bundok upang manalangin.
About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
29 Habang siya ay nananalangin, nag-iba ang anyo ng kaniyang mukha, ang kaniyang damit ay naging puti at nagniningning.
As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
30 Masdan ito, may dalawang lalaking nakikipag-usap sa kaniya! Sila ay sina Moises at Elias
Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
31 na nag-anyong maluwalhati. Nagsalita sila patungkol sa kaniyang paglisan na malapit na niyang maisakatuparan sa Jerusalem.
32 Ngayon, si Pedro at ang kaniyang mga kasama ay mahimbing na natutulog. Ngunit nang sila ay magising, nakita nila ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian, at ang dalawang lalaking nakatayo kasama niya.
Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
33 At nangyari nga, habang ang mga lalaki ay papalayo na kay Jesus, sinabi ni Pedro sa kaniya, “Panginoon, mabuti at nandito kami at marapat na magtayo kami ng tatlong kanlungan, isa para sa iyo, isa para kay Moises, at isa para kay Elias.” Hindi niya naintindihan kung ano ang kaniyang mga sinasabi.
As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
34 Pagkatapos, habang sinasabi niya ang mga bagay na ito, may ulap na dumating at nililiman sila; at sila ay natakot habang sila ay napapalibutan ng ulap.
As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
35 Isang tinig ang nanggaling sa ulap, na nagsasabi, “Ito ang aking Anak na pinili. Makinig kayo sa kaniya.”
[God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
36 Nang matapos ang tinig, mag-isa na si Jesus. Sila ay tumahimik, at sa mga araw na iyon ay wala silang pinagsabihan sa mga bagay na kanilang nakita.
After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
37 At nangyari nga sa sumunod na araw, nang nakababa sila sa bundok, sumalubong sa kaniya ang napakaraming tao.
The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
38 Masdan ito, mayroong isang ama na sumisigaw mula sa maraming tao na nagsasabi, “Guro, nagmamakaawa ako na tingnan ninyo ang aking anak na lalaki, sapagkat siya ay nag-iisa kong anak.
Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
39 Sinasaniban siya ng isang espiritu, at bigla siyang sumisigaw, kaya siya ay nangingisay na bumubula ang bibig. Pahirapan itong umalis sa kaniya, lubha siyang sinasaktan nito kapag ito ay umaalis.
At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
40 Nagmakaawa ako sa iyong mga alagad na piliting palabasin ito sa kaniya, ngunit hindi nila magawa.”
I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
41 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, “Kayong mga hindi nananampalataya at masamang salinlahi, gaano katagal ko kailangang manatili sa inyo at pagtiisan kayo? Dalhin mo dito ang iyong anak.”
Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
42 Habang lumalapit ang batang lalaki ay ihinagis siya ng demonyo pababa at pinangisay nang marahas. Ngunit sinaway ni Jesus ang maruming espiritu, at pinagaling ang batang lalaki, at ibinalik siya sa kaniyang ama.
While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
43 Silang lahat ay namangha sa kadakilaan ng Diyos. Ngunit habang sila ay namamangha parin sa mga bagay na kaniyang ginawa, sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad,
All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 “Palalimin ninyo ang mga salitang ito sa inyong mga tainga, sapagkat ang Anak ng Tao ay ibibigay sa mga kamay ng mga tao.”
“Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
45 Ngunit hindi nila naintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng mga pahayag na ito, at ito ay lingid sa kanila, kaya hindi nila ito maintindihan. Natakot silang magtanong sa kaniya tungkol sa pahayag na iyon.
But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
46 Pagkatapos, isang pagtatalo ang nagsimula sa kanila tungkol sa kung sino ang magiging lubos na dakila.
The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
47 Ngunit nang malaman ni Jesus ang kanilang mga pangangatwiran sa kanilang mga puso, kumuha siya ng isang bata at nilapit sa kaniyang tabi,
But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
48 at sinabi sa kanila, “Kung sinuman ang tumanggap sa isang maliit na batang katulad nito sa aking pangalan, siya rin ay tumatanggap sa akin, at kung sinuman ang tumatanggap sa akin, siya rin ay tumatanggap sa kaniya na nagsugo sa akin. Dahil kung sinuman ang pinakamababa sa inyong lahat ay siyang dakila.”
He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
49 Sumagot si Juan at sinabi, “Panginoon, may nakita kaming isang tao na nagpapalayas ng demonyo gamit ang iyong pangalan at pinigilan namin siya sapagkat siya ay hindi sumusunod sa atin.”
John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
50 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Huwag ninyo siyang pigilan, sapagkat siya na hindi laban sa inyo ay kasama ninyo.”
But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
51 Nangyari ng habang papalapit na ang kaniyang pag-akyat sa langit, lubos niyang inihanda ang kaniyang sarili na pumunta sa Jerusalem.
When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
52 Nagpadala siya ng mga mensahero bago siya pumunta, at sila ay pumunta at nakarating sa isang Samaritanong bayan upang maghanda para sa kaniya.
He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
53 Ngunit siya ay hindi tinanggap ng mga tao roon, sapagkat nagpasya siyang pumunta sa Jerusalem.
But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
54 Pagkatapos, nang makita ito ng kaniyang mga alagad na sina Santiago at Juan, sinabi nila, “Panginoon, nais mo bang iutos naming bumaba ang apoy mula sa langit at puksain sila?”
When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
55 Ngunit hinarap niya sila at sinaway sila.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
56 Pagkatapos, sila ay pumunta sa ibang nayon.
So they went to a different village.
57 Habang sila ay papunta sa kanilang daraanan, may nagsabi sa kaniya, “Ako ay susunod sa iyo saan ka man pumunta.”
As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
58 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Ang mga asong-gubat ay may mga lungga, ang mga ibon sa himpapawid ay may mga pugad, ngunit ang Anak ng Tao ay walang malatagan ng kaniyang ulo.”
[In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
59 At sinabi niya sa isa pang tao, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” Ngunit sinabi niya, “Panginoon, hayaan mong ilibing ko muna ang aking ama.”
Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
60 Ngunit sumagot siya sa kaniya, “Hayaan ninyo ang patay na maglibing sa sarili nilang mga patay, ngunit kayo ay humayo at ipahayag sa lahat ng dako ang kaharian ng Diyos.”
But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
61 Isa pang tao naman ay nagsabi din, “Ako ay susunod sa iyo, Panginoon, ngunit hayaan mo muna akong magpaalam sa kanila na nasa aking bahay.”
Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
62 Ngunit si Jesus ay sumagot sa kaniya, “Walang sinumang naglagay ng kaniyang mga kamay sa araro at tumitingin sa likuran, ang karapat-dapat para sa kaharian ng Diyos.”
Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
