Luke 13:1-9
Some people told Jesus about the Galileans
whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
He said to them in reply,
“Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way
they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed
when the tower at Siloam fell on them–
do you think they were more guilty
than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!”
And he told them this parable:
“There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,
and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
he said to the gardener,
‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree
but have found none.
So cut it down.
Why should it exhaust the soil?’
He said to him in reply,
‘Sir, leave it for this year also,
and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
it may bear fruit in the future.
If not you can cut it down.’”

Lucas 13:1-9
Magsisi o Mapahamak
Sa oras na iyon, naroroon ang ilan na nagsalaysay sa kaniya patungkol sa mga taga-Galilea. Ang dugo nila ay inihalo ni Pilato sa kanilang mga hain. Sa pagsagot ni Jesus, sinabi niya sa kanila: Sa palagay ba ninyo ang mga taga-Galileang ito ang pinakamakasalanan sa lahat ng mga taga-Galilea dahil dinanas nila ang mga bagay na ito? Sinasabi ko sa inyo: Hindi! Malibang magsisi kayo, lahat kayo ay mapapahamak sa ganitong paraan. May labingwalong tao ang nabagsakan ng tore sa Siloe at namatay? Sa palagay ba ninyo ay higit silang may pagkakautang sa Diyos kaysa lahat ng nanirahan sa Jerusalem? Sinasabi ko sa inyo: Hindi! Malibang magsisi kayo, lahat kayo ay mapapahamak sa ganitong paraan.
At sinabi ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito: May isang lalaking nagtanim ng igos sa kaniyang ubasan. Pumunta siya roon at naghanap ng bunga at wala siyang nakita. Sinabi niya sa tagapag-alaga ng ubasan: Narito, tatlong taon na akong pumaparito na naghahanap ng bunga ng puno ng igos na ito at wala akong nakitang bunga. Putulin mo iyan. Bakit sinasayang niya ang lupa?
Sumagot ang tagapag-alaga at sinabi: Panginoon, pabayaan mo muna iyan diyan sa taong ito, hanggang mahukay ko ang paligid nito at lagyan ng pataba. Maaring ito ay magbunga, ngunit kung hindi, saka mo na ito putulin. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
