Marcos 3
1 At muli siyang naglakad papasok sa loob ng sinagoga at doon may isang lalaki na tuyot ang kamay.
[On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
2 Ilan sa mga tao ay nagmamatyag ng mabuti kung papagalingin siya ni Jesus sa Araw ng Pamamahinga upang maparatangan nila siya.
[Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
3 Sinabi ni Jesus sa lalaki na tuyot ang kamay, “Tumindig ka at tumayo sa gitna ng lahat.”
Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
4 At sinabi niya sa mga tao, “Naaayon ba sa batas ang gumawa ng mabuti sa Araw ng Pamamahinga o ang manakit; ang sumagip ng buhay o ang pumatay?” Ngunit tahimik ang mga tao.
Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
5 Tiningnan niya sila ng may galit, labis siyang nalulungkot dahil sa katigasan ng kanilang mga puso, at sinabi niya sa lalaki, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay.” Iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay at pinagaling ito ni Jesus.
He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
6 Lumabas ang mga Pariseo at agad bumuo ng sabwatan kasama ng mga taga-sunod ni Herodias laban sa kaniya upang ipapatay siya.
Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
7 Pagkatapos, pumunta si Jesus sa dagat kasama ng kaniyang mga alagad at napakaraming tao ang sumunod sa kanila mula sa Galilea, at Judea,
Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
8 Jerusalem at mula sa Idumea at ibayo ng Jordan at sa palibot ng Tiro at Sidon, napakaraming tao ang pumunta sa kaniya nang marinig nila ang lahat ng mga ginagawa niya.
from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
9 Hiniling niya sa kaniyang mga alagad na ipaghanda siya ng isang bangka upang hindi siya maipit ng mga tao.
Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
10 Dahil sa marami na siyang napagaling, lahat ng may mga malulubhang karamdaman ay gustong makalapit sa kaniya upang mahawakan siya.
11 Sa tuwing makikita siya ng mga maruming espiritu, nagpapatirapa sila at sumisigaw, “Ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos.”
Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
12 Mahigpit niyang iniutos sa mga ito na huwag nilang ipapaalam kung sino siya.
He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
13 Umakyat siya sa bundok at tinawag niya ang mga gusto niya at pumunta sila sa kaniya.
Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
14 Itinalaga niya ang Labindalawa (na tinawag niyang mga apostol) para sila ay makasama niya at maaari niya silang isugo upang mangaral,
He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
15 at upang magkaroon sila ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng mga demonyo.
He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 Itinalaga niya ang Labindalawang apostol: Si Simon na pinangalanan niyang Pedro,
These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
17 si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo, si Juan na kapatid ni Santiago, na mga pinangalanan niyang Boanerges na ang ibig sabihin ay mga anak ng kulog,
James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
18 at sila Andres, Felipe, Bartolomeo, Mateo, Tomas, Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, Tadeo, Simon na makabayan,
Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
19 at si Judas Iskaryote, na magkakanulo sa kaniya.
and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 Pagkatapos ay umuwi na siya at muling nagtipon-tipon ang maraming tao, kung kaya hindi man lang sila makakain ng tinapay.
Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
21 Nang marinig ng kaniyang pamilya ang balitang ito, agad silang lumabas upang pilit siyang kunin, dahil sinasabi nilang, “Nahihibang na siya.”
After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
22 Sinabi ng mga eskribang nanggaling sa Jerusalem, “Sinaniban siya ni Beelzebul,” at, “Sa pamamagitan ng pinuno ng mga demonyo, pinapaalis niya ang mga demonyo.”
[Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
23 Tinawag sila ni Jesus at nagsalita sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga, “Paano maitataboy ni Satanas si Satanas?”
Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
24 Kung nahahati ang isang kaharian laban sa kaniyang sarili, ang kahariang ito ay hindi maaaring manatili.
If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
25 Kung ang isang tahanan ay nahahati laban sa kaniyang sarili, ang tahanang ito ay hindi maaaring manatili.
And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
26 Kung naghimagsik si Satanas laban sa kaniyang sarili at magkabahabahagi, hindi siya maaaring manatili, subalit siya ay magwawakas.
Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
27 Ngunit walang sinuman ang makapapasok sa bahay ng isang malakas na tao at magnakaw ng kaniyang mga kagamitan nang hindi niya ito gagapusin muna, saka pa lang niya mananakawan ang bahay nito.
Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
28 Totoo itong sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang lahat ng mga kasalanan ng mga anak ng tao ay mapapatawad, maging ang lahat ng mga kalapastanganang sinasabi nila,
[Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
30 Sinabi ito ni Jesus dahil sinasabi nilang, “Mayroon siyang maruming espiritu.”
[Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
31 Pagkatapos ay dumating ang kaniyang ina at mga kapatid na lalaki at tumayo sila sa labas. Pinasundo nila siya at pinatawag.
Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
32 Umupo ang napakaraming tao sa palibot niya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Nasa labas ang iyong ina at mga kapatid, hinahanap ka nila.”
A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
33 Sinagot niya sila, “Sino ang ina at mga kapatid ko?”
Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
34 Tiningnan niya ang mga taong nakaupo sa palibot niya at sinabi, “Tingnan ninyo, ito ang aking ina at mga kapatid!
After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
35 Dahil kung sino man ang tumutupad sa kalooban ng Diyos, ang taong iyon ay ang aking kapatid na lalaki, kapatid na babae, at ina.”
Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
