Mateo 8
1 Noong bumaba si Jesus mula sa burol, maraming tao ang sumunod sa kaniya.
When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
2 Masdan ito, isang lalaking may ketong ang lumapit at lumuhod sa kaniya na nagsasabi, “Panginoon, kung iyong nais, maaari mo akong gawing malinis.”
[After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
3 Inabot ni Jesus ang kaniyang kamay at hinawakan siya na nagsasabin, “Nais ko. Maging malinis ka.” Agad siyang nalinis sa kaniyang ketong.
Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
4 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, “Huwag mo itong sabihin kahit kanino man. Humayo ka sa iyong daan at magpakita ka sa pari at ihandog mo ang kaloob na iniutos ni Moises, bilang patotoo sa kanila.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
5 Pagpasok ni Jesus sa Capernaum, isang senturion ang lumapit at kumausap sa kaniya
When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
6 na nagsasabin, “Panginoon, ang aking lingkod ay nakaratay sa bahay, paralisado at lubhang nahihirapan.”
He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
7 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Pupunta ako at pagagalingin ko siya.”
Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
8 Sumagot ang senturion at sinabing, “Panginoon, hindi ako karapat-dapat na papasukin ka sa ilalim ng aking bubong, sabihin mo lamang ang salita at gagaling na ang aking lingkod.
But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
9 Sapagkat ako ma'y isang taong nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan at may mga kawal ako na napapasailalim sa akin. Sinasabi ko sa isa, 'Humayo ka' at siya ay humayo, sa isa 'Halika' at siya ay lalapit at sa aking lingkod 'Gawin mo ito' at ginawa nga niya.”
I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
10 Nang marinig ito ni Jesus, siya ay namangha at kaniyang sinabi sa mga taong sumusunod sa kaniya, “Totoo ito sasabihin ko sa inyo, hindi pa ako nakakita ng may ganitong pananampalataya sa Israel.
When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
11 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, maraming darating mula sa silangan at kanluran at sila ay sasandal sa mesa ni Abraham, Isaac at Jacob sa kaharian ng langit.
I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
12 Ngunit ang mga anak ng kaharian ay ipatatapon sa kadiliman sa labas na kung saan may pagtangis at pagngangalit ng ngipin.”
But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
13 Sinabi ni Jesus sa senturion, “Humayo ka! Mangyari sa iyo ang naaayon sa iyong pinaniwalaan.” At gumaling nga ang kaniyang lingkod sa ganap na oras na iyon.
Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
14 Pagkarating ni Jesus sa bahay ni Pedro, nakita niya ang biyenang babae ni Pedro na nakahiga at nilalagnat.
When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
15 Hinawakan ni Jesus ang kaniyang kamay at inibsan siya ng lagnat. Bumangon siya at nagsimulang maglingkod sa kaniya.
He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
16 Nang sumapit ang gabi, dinala ng mga tao kay Jesus ang maraming taong sinapian ng mga demonyo. Pinalayas niya ang mga espiritu sa pamamagitan ng salita at pinagaling niya ang lahat ng may sakit.
That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
17 Sa ganitong paraan natupad ang sinabi ni Isaias na propeta, “Kinuha niya ang ating mga sakit at dinala ang ating mga karamdaman.”
By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
18 Ngayon, nang nakita ni Jesus ang maraming tao sa paligid niya, nagbigay siya ng mga tagubilin na aalis siya upang magpunta sa kabilang ibayo ng Dagat ng Galilea.
Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
19 At may lumapit na eskriba sa kaniya at nagsabi, “Guro, susunod ako sa iyo saan ka man magpunta.”
[As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
20 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “May mga lungga ang mga asong-gubat, may mga pugad ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, ngunit ang Anak ng Tao ay wala man lamang lugar na mapagsandalan ng kaniyang ulo.”
[In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], 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 [MTY].”
21 May ibang alagad din ang nagsabi sa kaniya, “Panginoon, payagan mo akong ilibing muna ang aking ama.”
Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
22 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Sumunod ka sa akin, hayaan mong ang patay ang maglibing sa sarili nilang patay.”
But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
23 Nang sumakay na si Jesus sa bangka, sumunod sa kaniya ang mga alagad niya.
Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
24 Masdan ito, nagkaroon ng isang malakas na bagyo sa dagat kaya natabunan ng mga alon ang bangka. Ngunit natutulog si Jesus.
Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 Pumunta sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga alagad at siya ay ginising nila na nagsasabi, “Iligtas mo tayo, Panginoon, mamamatay na tayo!”
They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Bakit kayo natatakot, kayong maliit ang pananampalataya?” At bumangon si Jesus at sinaway ang mga hangin at ang dagat. At nagkaroon ng labis na katahimikan.
He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
27 Namangha ang mga lalaki at sinabi nila, “Anong uring tao ito, maging ang dagat at hangin ay sumusunod sa kaniya?”
[As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
28 Nang dumating si Jesus sa kabilang dako, sa bayan ng mga Gadareno, may sumalubong sa kaniya na dalawang lalaki na sinapian ng mga demonyo. Galing sila sa mga libingan at lubhang napakarahas kaya walang mga manlalakbay ang nakararaan sa daan na iyon.
When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
29 Masdan ito, sumigaw sila at nagsabi, “Ano ang pakialam namin sa iyo, Anak ng Diyos? Naparito ka ba upang kami ay pahirapan bago ang itinakdang oras?”
Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
30 Ngayon, may kawan ng mga baboy ang nanginginain doon sa hindi kalayuan sa kinarorooonan nila.
There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
31 Patuloy na nagmakaawa kay Jesus ang mga demonyo at nagsasabing, “Kung paaalisin mo kami, ipadala mo kami at papasukin sa kawan ng mga baboy.”
So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
32 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo!” Lumabas ang mga demonyo at pumasok sa mga baboy. At masdan ito, nagmadali ang mga baboy pababa sa isang matarik na burol sa dagat at namatay silang lahat sa tubig.
Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
33 Ang mga lalaking nag-aalaga sa mga baboy ay nagsitakbuhan. Nagpunta sila sa lungsod at ipinamalita ang lahat, lalo na ang nangyari sa mga lalaking sinapian ng mga demonyo.
The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
34 Masdan ito, lahat ng lungsod ay nagpunta upang makita si Jesus. At nang makita nila siya, nagmakaawa sila na umalis siya sa kanilang rehiyon.
Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
