Mag-andam sa mga Tawo nga Pakita-kita lang ang Ila Ginahimo(A)

12 Sang nagdugok ang linibo-libo nga mga tawo kay Jesus kag nagaginutok sila, nagsiling si Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod, “Mag-andam kamo, kay basi malatnan kamo sang batasan[a] sang mga Pariseo nga puro pakita-kita lang. Pero wala sing tinago nga indi mahibaluan sa ulihi. Gani, bisan ano ang inyo ginahambal sa madulom, mabatian sa masanag, kag ang inyo ginahutik sa sirado nga kuwarto, mahibaluan sang tanan.”

Ang Dapat Kahadlukan(B)

“Mga abyan, indi kamo magkahadlok sa mga tawo nga makapatay lang sang inyo lawas, kag pagkatapos wala na sila sing mahimo pa sa inyo. Sugiran ko kamo kon sin-o ang inyo kahadlukan: kahadlukan ninyo ang Dios, kay pagkatapos nga mapatay niya ang lawas sang tawo may gahom pa gid siya sa paghaboy sang iya kalag sa impyerno. Amo gani nga ginapaandaman ko kamo nga ang Dios dapat ninyo kahadlukan. Indi bala nga barato lang ang pispis nga maya? Pero wala sing isa sa ila nga ginakalimtan sang Dios. Gani labi pa gid kamo, kay bisan ang inyo mga buhok naisip niya tanan. Gani indi kamo magkahadlok, kay mas mahal pa kamo sang sa madamo nga mga maya.”

Ang Pagkilala kay Jesus(C)

Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus sa ila, “Ang bisan sin-o nga nagakilala sa akon sa atubangan sang mga tawo nga ako iya Ginoo, ako nga Anak sang Tawo magakilala man sa iya sa atubangan sang mga anghel sang Dios. Pero ang wala nagakilala sa akon sa atubangan sang mga tawo, indi ko man pagkilalahon sa atubangan sang mga anghel sang Dios. 10 Ang bisan sin-o nga maghambal sing malain kontra sa akon nga Anak sang Tawo mapatawad; pero ang maghambal sing malain kontra sa Espiritu Santo indi gid mapatawad.

11 “Kon tungod sa inyo pagtuo pagadal-on kamo sa simbahan sang mga Judio ukon sa mga manugdumala sang banwa agod imbistigaron, indi kamo magpalibog kon ano ang inyo isabat. 12 Kay sa sina nga tion tudluan kamo sang Espiritu Santo kon ano ang inyo dapat ihambal.”

Ang Paanggid Parte sa Manggaranon nga Nagsalig sa Iya Manggad

13 May tawo didto nga nagsiling, “Manunudlo, silinga ang akon magulang nga lalaki nga partihan niya ako sang amon palanublion.” 14 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Ano ako, huwis ukon manugpartida sang inyo pagkabutang?” 15 Dayon naghambal si Jesus sa mga tawo, “Mag-andam kamo sa tanan nga klase sang pagkamainangkunon, kay ang matuod nga pagkabuhi wala nagadepende sa madamo nga manggad.” 16 Kag ginsugiran niya sila sang isa ka paanggid, “May isa ka tawo nga manggaranon nga may duta nga madamo gid ang patubas. 17 Gani nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, ‘Ano ang akon himuon? Wala na ako butangan sang akon patubas! 18 Maayo pa siguro nga ipaguba ko ang akon mga bodega kag ipatindog ang mas dako pa gid, kag dira ko ibutang ang akon mga patubas kag mga pagkabutang. 19 Kag tungod kay madamo na ang akon natipon para sa palaabuton nga mga tinuig, mapahuway-huway lang ako anay, magkaon, mag-inom, kag magpangalipay!’ 20 Pero nagsiling ang Dios sa iya, ‘Buang-buang! Karon nga gab-i bawion ko sa imo ang imo kabuhi. Ti sin-o ang magapulos sang imo gintipon nga manggad?’ 21 Amo man ina ang matabo sa tawo nga nagatipon sang manggad para lang sa iya kaugalingon pero pobre sa atubangan sang Dios.”

Magsalig sa Dios(D)

22 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod, “Gani nagasiling ako sa inyo nga indi kamo magpalibog sa inyo pagpangabuhi, kon ano ang inyo kaunon kag kon ano ang inyo bayuon. 23 Kay kon ginhatagan kamo sang Dios sang kabuhi kag lawas, indi mahimo nga indi niya kamo paghatagan sing pagkaon kag bayo. 24 Tan-awa ninyo ang mga uwak: wala sila nagatanom, wala nagaani, kag wala sila sang bodega nga ginatipunan sang ila pagkaon, pero ginapakaon sila sang Dios. Indi bala mas labaw pa kamo sang sa mga pispis? 25 Sin-o sa inyo ang makapalawig sang inyo kabuhi bisan diutay lang paagi sa inyo pagpalibog? Wala gid! 26 Gani, tungod nga wala man kamo sang may mahimo sa pagpalawig sang inyo kabuhi, ngaa magpalibog pa gid kamo sang iban nga mga butang? 27 Talupangda ninyo kon paano nagatubo ang mga bulak; wala sila nagapangabudlay ukon nagahimo sang ila bayo. Ang matuod, bisan ang bantog kag manggaranon nga hari nga si Solomon, ang iya mga bayo indi makatupong sa katahom sang bisan isa lang sa sini nga mga bulak. 28 Kon ginapatahom sang Dios ang mga hilamon nga buhi subong, pero sa ulihi malaya kag tutdan man lang, indi bala nga mas labi pa gid nga pabayuan niya kamo? Kadiutay sang inyo pagtuo! 29 Indi kamo magpalibog kon ano ang inyo kaunon kag imnon. 30 Amo ina ang ginapalibugan sang mga tawo nga wala nakakilala sa Dios. Pero nakahibalo ang inyo Amay sa langit nga kinahanglan ninyo ina nga mga butang. 31 Gani unaha ninyo ang pagpasakop sa paghari sang Dios kag ihatag gid niya ang inyo mga kinahanglanon.”

Mga Manggad sa Langit(E)

32 “Kamo nga nagasunod sa akon pila lang gid,[b] pero indi kamo magkahadlok kay ginbuot sang inyo Amay nga paharion kamo sa iya ginharian. 33 Ibaligya ninyo ang inyo pagkabutang, kag ihatag ang kuwarta sa mga imol agod makatipon kamo sang manggad didto sa langit. Ini indi gid mabuhinan ukon madunot, tungod nga wala didto sing makawat nga makapalapit kag wala man sing mga sapat-sapat nga makaut-ot. 34 Kay kon diin ang inyo manggad didto man ang inyo tagipusuon.”

Ang Masaligan nga mga Suluguon

35-36 Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus sa ila, “Magpreparar kamo sa tanan nga tion agod indi kamo makibot sa pagbalik sang inyo Ginoo. Sunda ninyo ang mga suluguon nga nagahulat sa pagbalik sang ila agalon nga nagtambong sa punsyon. Nagabantay sila kag wala nila ginapatay ang ila mga suga. Gani bisan ano nga oras mag-abot ang ila agalon, kon magpanuktok, mabuksan nila dayon ang puwertahan. 37 Bulahan ato nga mga suluguon nga maabtan sang ila agalon nga nagabugtaw kag nagabantay sa iya pag-abot. Ang matuod, magapreparar ang ila agalon sa pagserbisyo sa ila. Papungkuon niya sila sa iya lamisa kag siya mismo ang magaserbi sa ila. 38 Bulahan gid sila kon maabtan sila nga nakapreparar sa iya pag-abot bisan sa tungang gab-i ukon kaagahon. 39 Tandai ninyo ini: kon nahibaluan sang tagbalay kon ano nga oras maabot ang makawat, bantayan gid niya agod indi makasulod ang makawat sa iya balay. 40 Gani magbantay gid kamo, kay sa oras nga wala ninyo ginapaabot, ako nga Anak sang Tawo magaabot.”

Ang Masaligan kag ang Indi Masaligan nga Suluguon(F)

41 Nagpamangkot si Pedro, “Ginoo, para bala kay sin-o ang paanggid nga ina, sa amon bala ukon sa tanan?” 42 Ginsabat siya ni Jesus paagi sa isa ka paanggid, “Indi bala nga kon sin-o ang masaligan kag maalam nga suluguon amo ang ginapili sang agalon nga magdumala sa iya kaupod nga mga suluguon? Siya ang nagahatag sa ila sang ila pagkaon sa husto nga oras. 43 Bulahan ato nga suluguon nga sa pagbalik sang iya agalon maabtan siya nga nagahimo sang iya buluhaton. 44 Sa pagkamatuod, padumalahon siya sa tanan nga pagkabutang sang iya agalon. 45 Pero kaluluoy ang suluguon nga sa paglakat sang iya agalon magahunahuna siya nga madugay pa siya magbalik, gani magasugod siya sa pagpamintas sa iya kaupod nga mga suluguon, lalaki kag babayi man, kag magapagusto siya sang kaon, inom kag pahubog. 46 Magaabot ang iya agalon sa oras nga wala gid niya ginahunahuna, kag grabe ang silot nga iya agumon.[c] Ibutang siya sa isa ka lugar upod sa mga tawo nga indi gid masaligan.

47 “Ang suluguon nga nakahibalo kon ano ang luyag sang iya agalon pero wala nagatuman, madamo nga hanot ang iya pagaagumon. 48 Kag ang suluguon nga wala nakahibalo kon ano ang luyag sang iya agalon kag nakahimo sang mga butang nga indi maayo hanuton man, pero diutay lang. Kay ang bisan sin-o nga ginhatagan sang madamo, madamo man ang ginapaabot sa iya. Mas madamo ang ginapaabot sa tawo nga gintugyanan sang madamo.”

Si Jesus ang Kabangdanan sang Pagbinahin-bahin(G)

49 Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus sa ila, “Nagkadto ako diri sa kalibutan sa pagdala sang silot nga daw kalayo, kag luyag ko nga magdabdab na ini. 50 Pero sa wala pa ini matabo madamo anay nga mga pag-antos ang akon maagihan. Kag indi gid ako mapahamtang samtang wala pa ini matapos.

51 “Nagahunahuna bala kamo nga nagkadto ako diri sa kalibutan agod mangin maayo ang relasyon sang isa kag isa? Ang matuod, nagkadto ako diri agod magbinahin-bahin ang mga tawo. 52 Kay halin subong, tungod sa akon, may lima ka tawo sa pamilya nga magabinahin-bahin. Ang tatlo kontra sa duha kag ang duha kontra sa tatlo. 53 Ang amay kag ang iya anak nga lalaki magakontrahanay. Ang iloy kag ang iya anak nga babayi magakontrahanay, kag ang ugangan nga babayi kag ang iya umagad nga babayi magakontrahanay.”

Panilagi Ninyo ang mga Nagakalatabo Karon(H)

54 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa mga tawo, “Kon makita ninyo ang gal-om sa nakatundan nagasiling kamo nga magaulan, kag amo gani ang matabo. 55 Kag kon maghuyop na ang habagat nagasiling kamo nga magainit, kag amo man ang matabo. 56 Mga hipokrito! Makahibalo kamo magpakot kon ano ang matabo paagi sa inyo pagtan-aw sa duta kag sa langit, pero ngaa indi kamo makapakot sang mga nagakalatabo subong?”

Magpasag-uli ka sa Imo Kaaway(I)

57 “Ngaa wala gid ninyo ginabinagbinag kon ano ang husto? 58 Kon may mag-akusar sa imo, tinguhai gid sa pagpakighusay samtang nagapakadto pa lang kamo sa korte. Kay basi piliton gid niya ikaw nga dal-on sa huwis kag itugyan ka dayon sang huwis sa pulis agod prisohon. 59 Kag indi ka gid makaguwa kon indi mo anay mabayaran ang tanan mo nga multa.”[d]

Warnings and Encouragements(A)

12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(B) There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(C) What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

“I tell you, my friends,(D) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(E) Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(F) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(G)

“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(H) But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(I) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(J) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(K)

11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(L) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(M)

The Parable of the Rich Fool

13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(N)

16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(O) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(P) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(Q)

21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(R)

Do Not Worry(S)

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(T) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(U) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(V) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(W) knows that you need them.(X) 31 But seek his kingdom,(Y) and these things will be given to you as well.(Z)

32 “Do not be afraid,(AA) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(AB) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(AC) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(AD) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(AE) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(AF)

Watchfulness(AG)(AH)

35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(AI) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(AJ) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(AK) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(AL) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”

42 The Lord(AM) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(AN) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(AO) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(AP) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Not Peace but Division(AQ)

49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(AR) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(AS) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(AT)

Interpreting the Times

54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(AU) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(AV)

57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(AW) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(AX)

  2. Luke 12:25 Or single cubit to your height

12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
