AN BARAAN NGA BIBLIA - Binisaya Samar-Leyte Version of the Bible (BSLV)

As we begin a new year, I suggest you read through the Bible, and familiarize yourself with the concept of covenant, which is the central thread woven in all of Scripture. Indeed it is rightly called “the master-theme of the Bible.”

So what is a Covenant? A Covenant is a sacred kinship bond between two parties, ratified by swearing an oath. Two examples of Covenant would be Marriage and adoption. The Covenant is the means by which God unites His will to ours - through Jesus and Mary - to father the human family thoughout salvation history.

”God the Father, through a series of covenants, has moved from dealing with one couple—Adam and Eve—to the whole world. Each step along the way has moved us further up the pathway to heaven... Viewing the history of salvation through the lens of covenant helps us to see the fatherly wisdom and power of God, and will offer a clearer perspective on the human family.”

This is only a brief description of a Covenant. To learn more I suggest you read “A Father who Keeps his Promises” or get started simply by reading the entry for Covenant in the Catholic Bible Dictionary https://amzn.to/3qGGaMD

Here’s a timeline that highlights God's plan to father his growing family in the periods of salvation history (taken from “A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God’s Covenant Love in Scripture,” p. 34) https://amzn.to/3EQ65GG

1 Corinto 13:4-7
An gugma mapailubon, an gugma maloloy-on. Diri ini maabugho, diri parayawán, diri mapahitas-on. An gugma diri matalumpiguson, diri nagbibiling han iya kalugaringon nga mga kaupayan, diri madagmit masina, diri nagdudumot. An gugma diri nalilipay hin karat-an kundi nalilipay han kamatuóran. An gugma mainantuson, matinuóhon, mala-umon, ngan mapailubon han ngatanan.

AN CELLPHONE UG AN BIBLIA

Di’ ba an im’ cellphone bisan diin dara,
yinukot-yukot an presyo ngan nakaon kwarta;
dako an im’ kalangot kon naglolowbat na
ngan kon waray signal daw nalolorong ka na.

Maupay ini kunta kay nauswag an komunikasyon,
bisan hirayo nga dapit mensahe naidudul-ong,
kataragman napupudngan, kinabuhi nabubuligan,
kundi pagpalangga sini damo an kapakyasan.

Kon sigi la an imo text, waray ka nabubuhat,
an may polos nga mga butang imo ipinipilak;
magraut, maglaw-ay, dali mo maluwas;
an mahal nga cellphone kan Sataning uyaga.

Adi naman an Biblia nga daw inaagupaw
ngan daw sayo nga litrato naka display sa balay;
waray nagbabasa kay di’ man kuno masabtan,
maupay pa sa cable may action an nakikit-an.

Pero, piyong sin dalikyat ngan pag-ino-ino daw
kay an sinurat nga Pulong san Dios mao an Biblia;
diri ini naglolowbat, permanente an signal
kay an Dios nagtatawag san imo katalwasan.

Labi gud im’ huna-hunaon, ayaw na sin baribad;
ginbinisaya na ini basi waray ka pasangilan;
sa imo lengwahe an presyo tres cincuenta la;
mahal pa an hamburger kon upod an barkada.

We’re not supposed to read the Bible and then start our own Church if we don’t like the ones around us. Jesus already gave us a Church. He did so before the Bible was even compiled and finalized. In fact, He did so before the New Testament was even written down. Therefore, if we want to be as biblical as possible, we should follow Christ in the Catholic Church.

According to St. Jerome, "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." This quote emphasizes the importance of studying and understanding the Bible as a way to know and grow closer to Christ. By engaging with the Scriptures, we can gain knowledge and wisdom that can guide us in our faith journey. The National Bible Month celebration in January 2024 provides an opportunity for Filipinos to delve deeper into the teachings of the Bible through various activities and events. It's a chance to foster a stronger connection with God and strengthen our spiritual foundation.
