Jesus was
teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. And a woman was there who for eighteen
years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of
standing erect. When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you
are set free of your infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and she at once
stood up straight and glorified God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant
that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, "There
are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on
the sabbath day.” The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one
of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out
for watering? This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years
now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?”
When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd
rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.

Dako man gajud an ato pagtuo sa
gahum ni Jesus hilabina dinhi sa ato Ebanghelyo na pagdajaw Nija nan babaje na
dise-otso anyos na nag-antos sa ija sakit.
Pero juhot an mga lider nan mga
Jew kay naghimo man si Jesus nan milagro bisan adlaw nan sabbath, holy day para
magpahuway.
Naka-pukos ra karajaw an mga Jew
sa ritwal nan pag-obserbar nan sabbath ugsa na hinkalim’tan na nila an importansiya
nan gugma sanan pasaylo ni God sa tawo abir kon adlaw sa pagpahuway.
Amo na kinahanglan ipangaliya gajud nato kan God
na hatagan kita Nija nan grasya na mahipakita nato an Ija gugma sanan pasaylo
sa ato isigkatawo.
