Lucas 12
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
12 Samantalang nangagkakatipon ang libolibong tao, na ano pa't nagkakayapakan silasila, ay nagpasimula siyang magsalita muna sa kaniyang mga alagad, Mangagingat kayo sa lebadura ng mga Fariseo, na ito'y pagpapaimbabaw nga.
2 Datapuwa't walang bagay na natatakpan, na hindi mahahayag: at natatago, na hindi malalaman.
3 Kaya nga, ang anomang sinabi ninyo sa kadiliman ay maririnig sa kaliwanagan, at ang sinalita ninyo sa bulong sa mga silid, ay ipagsisigawan sa mga bubungan.
4 At sinasabi ko sa inyo mga kaibigan ko, Huwag kayong mangatakot sa mga pumapatay ng katawan, na pagkatapos niyan ay wala na silang magagawa.
5 Datapuwa't ipinagpapauna ko sa inyo kung sino ang inyong katatakutan: Katakutan ninyo yaong pagkatapos na pumatay, ay may kapangyarihang magbulid sa impierno; tunay, sinasabi ko sa inyo, Siya ninyong katakutan.
6 Hindi baga ipinagbibili ang limang maya sa dalawang beles? at isa man sa kanila ay hindi nalilimutan sa paningin ng Dios.
7 Datapuwa't maging ang mga buhok ng inyong ulo ay pawang bilang na lahat. Huwag kayong mangatakot: kayo'y lalong mahalaga kay sa maraming maya.
8 At sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang bawa't kumikilala sa akin sa harap ng mga tao, ay kikilalanin naman siya ng Anak ng tao sa harap ng mga anghel ng Dios:
9 Datapuwa't ang magkaila sa akin sa harap ng mga tao, ay ikakaila sa harap ng mga anghel ng Dios.
10 Ang bawa't magsalita ng salitang laban sa Anak ng tao ay patatawarin: nguni't ang magsalita ng kapusungan laban sa Espiritu Santo ay hindi patatawarin.
11 At pagka kayo'y dadalhin sa harap ng mga sinagoga, at sa mga pinuno, at sa mga may kapamahalaan, ay huwag kayong mangabalisa kung paano o ano ang inyong isasagot, o kung ano ang inyong sasabihin:
12 Sapagka't ituturo sa inyo ng Espiritu Santo sa oras ding yaon ang inyong dapat sabihin.
13 At sinabi sa kaniya ng isa sa karamihan, Guro, iutos mo sa aking kapatid na bahaginan ako ng mana.
14 Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kaniya, Lalake, sino ang gumawa sa aking hukom o tagapamahagi sa inyo?
15 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Mangagmasid kayo, at kayo'y mangagingat sa lahat ng kasakiman: sapagka't ang buhay ng tao ay hindi sa kasaganaan ng mga bagay na tinatangkilik niya.
16 At nagsaysay siya sa kanila ng isang talinghaga, na sinasabi, Ang lupa ng isang taong mayaman ay namumunga ng sagana:
17 At iniisip niya sa sarili na sinasabi, Ano ang gagawin ko, sapagka't wala akong mapaglalagyan ng aking mga inaning bunga?
18 At sinabi niya, Ito ang gagawin ko: igigiba ko ang aking mga bangan, at gagawa ako ng lalong malalaki; at doon ko ilalagay ang lahat ng aking butil at aking mga pag-aari.
19 At sasabihin ko sa aking kaluluwa, Kaluluwa, marami ka nang pag-aaring nakakamalig para sa maraming taon; magpahingalay ka, kumain ka, uminom ka, matuwa ka.
20 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ng Dios, Ikaw na haling, hihingin sa iyo sa gabing ito ang iyong kaluluwa; at ang mga bagay na inihanda mo, ay mapapa sa kanino kaya?
21 Gayon nga ang nagpapakayaman sa ganang kaniyang sarili, at hindi mayaman sa Dios.
22 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, Kaya nga sinasabi ko sa inyo, Huwag kayong mangabalisa sa inyong pamumuhay, kung ano ang inyong kakanin; kahit sa inyong katawan, kung ano ang inyong daramtin.
23 Sapagka't ang buhay ay higit kay sa pagkain, at ang katawan kay sa damit.
24 Wariin ninyo ang mga uwak, na hindi sila nangaghahasik, ni nagsisigapas man; na walang bangan ni kamalig man; at sila'y pinakakain ng Dios: gaano ang kahigtan ng kahalagahan ninyo kay sa mga ibon!
25 At sino sa inyo ang sa pagkabalisa ay makapagdaragdag ng isang siko sa sukat ng kaniyang buhay?
26 Kung hindi nga ninyo magawa kahit ang lalong maliit, bakit nangababalisa kayo tungkol sa mga ibang bagay?
27 Wariin ninyo ang mga lirio, kung paano silang nagsisilaki: hindi nangagpapagal, o nangagsusulid man; gayon ma'y sinasabi ko sa inyo, Kahit si Salomon man, sa buong kaluwalhatian niya, ay hindi nakapaggayak na gaya ng isa sa mga ito.
28 Nguni't kung pinararamtan ng Dios ng ganito ang damo sa parang, na ngayon ay buhay, at sa kinabukasan ay iginagatong sa kalan; gaano pa kaya kayo na di niya pararamtan, Oh kayong mga kakaunti ang pananampalataya?
29 At huwag ninyong pagsikapan kung ano ang inyong kakanin, at kung ano ang inyong iinumin, o huwag man kayo'y mapagalinlangang pagiisip.
30 Sapagka't ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay siyang pinaghahanap ng mga bansa sa sanglibutan: datapuwa't talastas ng inyong Ama na inyong kinakailangan ang mga bagay na ito.
31 Gayon ma'y hanapin ninyo ang kaniyang kaharian, at idaragdag sa inyo ang mga bagay na ito.
32 Huwag kayong mangatakot, munting kawan; sapagka't nakalulugod na mainam sa inyong Ama ang sa inyo'y ibigay ang kaharian.
33 Ipagbili ninyo ang inyong mga tinatangkilik, at kayo'y mangaglimos; magsigawa kayo sa ganang inyo ng mga supot na hindi nangaluluma, isang kayamanan sa langit na hindi nagkukulang, na doo'y hindi lumalapit ang magnanakaw, o naninira man ang tanga.
34 Sapagka't kung saan naroroon ang inyong kayamanan, ay doroon naman ang inyong puso.
35 Bigkisan ninyo ang inyong mga baywang, at paningasan ang inyong mga ilawan;
36 At magsitulad kayo sa mga taong nangaghihintay sa kanilang panginoon kung siya'y bumalik na galing sa kasalan; upang kung siya'y dumating at tumuktok, pagdaka'y mabuksan nila siya.
37 Mapapalad yaong mga alipin na kung dumating ang panginoon ay maratnang nangagpupuyat: katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo na siya'y magbibigkis sa sarili, at sila'y pauupuin sa dulang, at lalapit at sila'y paglilingkuran niya.
38 At kung siya'y dumating sa ikalawang pagpupuyat, o sa ikatlo, at masumpungan sila sa gayon, ay mapapalad ang mga aliping yaon.
39 Datapuwa't talastasin ninyo ito na kung nalalaman lamang ng puno ng sangbahayan kung anong oras darating ang magnanakaw, siya'y magpupuyat, at hindi pababayaang sirain ang kaniyang bahay.
40 Kayo rin naman ay mangagsihanda: sapagka't sa oras na hindi ninyo iniisip, ang Anak ng tao ay darating.
41 At sinabi ni Pedro, Panginoon, sinasabi mo baga ang talinghagang ito sa amin, o sa lahat naman?
42 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Sino nga baga ang katiwalang tapat at matalino, na pagkakatiwalaan ng kaniyang panginoon ng kaniyang sangbahayan, upang sila'y bigyan ng kanilang bahagi na pagkain sa kapanahunan?
43 Mapalad ang aliping yaon, na kung dumating ang kaniyang panginoon ay maratnang gayon ang ginagawa niya.
44 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na sa kaniya'y ipagkakatiwala ang lahat niyang pag-aari.
45 Datapuwa't kung sabihin ng aliping yaon sa kaniyang puso, Maluluwatan ang pagdating ng aking panginoon; at magpasimulang bugbugin ang mga aliping lalake at ang mga aliping babae, at kumain at uminom, at maglasing;
46 Ang panginoon ng aliping yaon ay darating sa araw na di niya hinihintay, at sa oras na hindi niya nalalaman, at siya'y babaakin, at isasama ang kaniyang bahagi sa mga di tapat.
47 At yaong aliping nakaaalam ng kalooban ng kaniyang panginoon, at hindi naghanda, at hindi gumawa ng alinsunod sa kaniyang kalooban ay papaluin ng marami;
48 Datapuwa't ang hindi nakaaalam, at gumawa ng mga bagay na karapatdapat sa mga palo, ay papaluin ng kaunti. At sa sinomang binigyan ng marami ay marami ang hihingin sa kaniya: at sa sinomang pinagkatiwalaan ng marami ay lalo nang marami ang hihingin sa kaniya.
49 Ako'y naparito upang maglagay ng apoy sa lupa; at ano pa ang iibigin ko, kung magningas na?
50 Datapuwa't ako'y may isang bautismo upang ibautismo sa akin; at gaano ang aking kagipitan hanggang sa ito'y maganap?
51 Inaakala baga ninyo na ako'y naparito upang magbigay ng kapayapaan sa lupa? Sinasabi ko sa inyo, Hindi, kundi bagkus pagkakabahabahagi:
52 Sapagka't mula ngayon ay magkakabahabahagi ang lima sa isang bahay, tatlo laban sa dalawa, at dalawa laban sa tatlo.
53 Sila'y mangagkakabahabahagi, ang ama'y laban sa anak na lalake, at ang anak na lalake ay laban sa ama; ang ina'y laban sa anak na babae, at ang anak na babae ay laban sa kaniyang ina; ang biyanang babae ay laban sa kaniyang manugang na babae, at ang manugang na babae ay laban sa kaniyang biyanang babae.
54 At sinabi rin naman niya sa mga karamihan, Pagka nakikita ninyong bumangon sa kalunuran ang isang alapaap, ay agad ninyong sinasabi, Uulan; at gayon ang nangyayari.
55 At kung humihihip ang hanging timugan, ay sinasabi ninyo, Iinit na maigi; at ito'y nangyayari.
56 Kayong mga mapagpaimbabaw! marunong kayong mangagpaaninaw ng anyo ng lupa at ng langit; datapuwa't bakit di ninyo nalalamang ipaaninaw ang panahong ito?
57 At bakit naman hindi ninyo hatulan sa inyong sarili kung alin ang matuwid?
58 Sapagka't samantalang pumaparoon ka sa hukom na kasama mo ang iyong kaalit, ay sikapin mo sa daan na makaligtas ka sa kaniya; baka sakaling kaladkarin ka niya sa hukom, at ibigay ka ng hukom sa punong kawal at ipasok ka ng punong kawal sa bilangguan.
59 Sinasabi ko sa iyo, Hindi ka lalabas doon sa anomang paraan, hanggang sa mabayaran mo ang katapustapusang lepta.
Luke 12
King James Version
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.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 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.
Luke 12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Warning Against Hypocrisy
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands gathered together so that they were trampling on one another, he began to speak first to his disciples: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 So then, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Fear God, Not People
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that are not able to do any more. 5 But I will show you the one you should fear. Fear him who, after he has killed the body, has authority to throw it into hell.[a] Yes, I tell you, fear him!
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?[b] And not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. 7 Why, even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So stop being afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Confess Christ
8 “I tell you, whoever confesses me before other people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God. 9 But whoever denies me in the presence of other people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God. 10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 When they bring you before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourself, or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you should say.”
The Rich Fool
13 Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But Jesus said to him, “Man, who appointed me to be a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 Then he said to them, “Watch out and be on guard against all greed, because a man’s life is not measured by how many possessions he has.”
16 He told them a parable: “The land of a certain rich man produced very well. 17 He was thinking to himself, ‘What will I do, because I do not have anywhere to store my crops?’ 18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and goods. 19 And I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your soul will be demanded from you. Now who will get what you have prepared?’
21 “That is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Do Not Worry
22 Jesus said to his disciples, “For that reason I tell you, stop worrying about your life, about what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Certainly life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap; they have no warehouse or barn; and yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! 25 And who of you by worrying can add a single moment to his lifespan? 26 Since you are not able to do this little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these. 28 If this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith? 29 Do not constantly chase after what you will eat or what you will drink. Do not be worried about it. 30 To be sure, the nations of the world chase after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, continue to seek the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you. 32 Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not become old, a treasure in the heavens that will not fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Be Ready!
35 “Be dressed, ready for service, and keep your lamps burning. 36 Be like people 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 Blessed are those servants, whom the master will find watching when he comes. Amen I tell you: He will dress himself and have them recline at the table, and he will come and serve them. 38 Even if he comes in the second or third watch,[c] they will be blessed if he finds them alert. 39 But know this: If the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 40 You also be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you are not expecting him.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us or to everybody?”
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager,[d] whom the master will put in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find doing so when he comes. 44 Truly I tell you: He will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is staying away for a long time.’ And he begins to beat the male and female servants, to eat and drink and become drunk, 46 then the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he was not expected and at an hour that his servant does not know. The master will cut him in two and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 That servant who knew his master’s will and did not prepare or act according to what his master wanted, will be punished severely. 48 But the one who did not know, and did something worthy of punishment, will be punished lightly. From everyone to whom much was given, much will be expected. From the one who was entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Division
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already ignited. 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is finished! 51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 Yes, from now on there will be five divided in one household: 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 her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”[e]
Interpret the Time
54 He also said to the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say that a rainstorm is coming, and so it happens. 55 And whenever a south wind blows, you say that it is going to be hot, and it happens. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret this present time? 57 Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 Indeed, as you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, make an effort on the way to reach a settlement with him. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last cent.”[f]
