Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ie amy zao, naho nivorigidiñe añ’aleale t’indaty vaho nifandialia, le nanoe’ Iesoà ty hoe hey o mpiama’eo: Itaò ty lalivai’ o Fariseoo, amy t’ie hasoa-fiatreke.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Toe tsy ao ty linomboke ze tsy haboake ndra ty nakafitse ze tsy haborake;
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
aa ndra inoñ’ inoñe volañe’ areo añ’ieñe ao, ty ho janjiñeñe an-kazavàñe ey; vaho ze tsikoe’ areo an-dravembia añ’anjomba ao ho tseizeñe an-tampenake ey.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Taroñeko ama’areo roàñeko ty hoe, ko marimarihañe ze mahay mamono ty sandriñe, fe tsy mahalefe mandikoatse.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067). Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Hatahataeko ty hañeveña’ areo: irevendreveño i fa namonoy ro mbe aman-dily hampijoroboñ’ azo an-tsikeokeok’ ao; eka hoe iraho, Añeveño! (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Tsy drala roe hao ty vili’ ty tsikisoisoy lime? Fa ndra raik’ ama’e tsy andikòfan’ Añahare.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Ndra ty maroi’ ty añambone’areo, fa fonga niaheñe. Aa le ko mahimahiñe, fa mandikoatse ty tsikisoisoy maro nahareo.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Itaroñako: Ndra iaia miantok’ ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ro hiantofa’ i Ana’ondatiy añatrefa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Fe ze mitety ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ro hitetiako añatrefa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Ndra iaia mitsiko i Ana’ondatiy ro mbe hiheveañe; fe tsy hiheveañe ka ze miteratera i Arofo Masiñey.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Lehe asese’ iereo am-pitontonañ’ ao nahareo naho amo zizio ndra amo mpifeheo, ko tsòtsek’ ami’ty hatoi’ areo naho amy ze ho saontsie’areo;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Fa hanare’ i Arofon-kamasiñañey ze ho saontsie’areo amy ora zay.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Tamy lahialeñey ty nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Talè, saontsio ty rahalahiko ty hifanjara i lovay amako.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Tinoi’e ty hoe: O korahe, ia ty nanendre ahy ho mpizaka ndra mpizara ama’areo?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Mitaoa naho mitomira tsy ho azo’ ty fihañañe, fa tsy miato ami’ty fanaña’e ty havelo’ ondaty.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Le hoe ty nirazañe’e: Namokatse soa ty tetem-pañaleale.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?’
Le hoe ty safirin-tro’e: Hanao akore iraho henaneo, tsy eo ty hanontonako o hanekoo.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Aa le hoe ty asa’e: Zao arè ty hanoeko: Ho rotsaheko o rihakoo naho ho tratrañàheko, vaho ho tamirieko ao ze hene haneko naho varako.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Le hatàko ty hoe ty troko: O ry troko, nivandroñe’o vara tsifotofoto an-driha ao, ie tsy ho ritse an-taoñ’ an-taoñe; aa le mitofà, mikamà, migenoha, vaho mifalea.
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Fe hoe ty nitsaran’ Añahare aze: Ty dagola tia! ampañavaheñe azo anito haleñe ty tro’o, aa le ho an’ ia v’o nahaja’oo?’
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Hambañe amy zay ty ho amy ze mitamiry vara ho am-bata’e, f’ie tsy mpañaleale aman’ Añahare.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Le nanao ty hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Zao ty volako ama’areo: ko tsimboetse ami’ty haveloñe toy, ty ho kamae’ areo; ndra ami’ty sandriñe, ze hisaroña’areo.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Zoke’ ty mahakama ty haveloñe, naho ty saroñe i sandriñey.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Haraharao o koàkeo: tsy mitongy, tsy mandrofotse, tsy aman-jahetse, tsy aman-driha, fe fahanan’ Añahare; tsy ambone’ o voroñeo hao ty fiai’areo?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Aa vaho ia ama’areo te mahimahiñe ro mahatovoñe ty andro hiveloma’e ndra kede?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Aa naho tsy mete’ areo i raha kedekedey inoñe ty iveobeoha’ areo o raha ila’eo?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Rendreho o voñeo, ty fitiri’e; ie tsy mitoroñe, tsy manenoñe; Eka, itaroñako te, ndra i Solomona amy ze hene enge’e tsy nañirinkiriñe ty fisafora’ ty raik’ ama’e.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Aa naho izay ty ampisikinan’ Añahare o ahetseo, ie amoka añe androany vaho ahifik’ an-toñak’ ao te hamaray, àntsake ty hanafora’e anahareo, ry kede fatokisañe!
29 “Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Ko mitsoeke ty ho kamae’areo ndra hinome’ areo, le ko marimarike.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Fonga paiae’ o kilakila’ondatio irezay vaho arofoanan-dRae’areo te ipaia’areo ka.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Fe hotsohotsò heik’ i Fifehea’ey le hatovoñe ama’areo ze he’e.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Ko hembañe, ry mpirai-lia kedeo fa non-dRae’areo ty hanolotse anahareo i Fifeheañey.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Aletaho ty vara’ areo le añomeo o rarakeo. Añentseño horoñe tsy mete voroke naho vara andindìñe ao tsy ho ritse, tsy harivoa’ ty malaso, tsy ho vorohe’ ty oletse.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Fa ami’ty nampipohañe o fanaña’ areoo, le ao ka ty arofo’areo.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Midiaña vania, le ampireheto o failo’ areoo,
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
vaho mihambaña am’ ondaty mandiñe ty talè’e himpoly boak’ añ’ engavao añeo: ie pok’ eo naho mitrehentreheñe, le ho sokafe’ iereo ami’ ty manao zao.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Haha o mpitoroñe ho zoe’ i talè’ iareoy mitao amy fiavi’eio! Eka! to t’itaroñako t’ie hidiañe vaho hampiambesatse iareo hikama, le homb’eo re hitoroñe iareo.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
He t’ie avy petsakaleñe ke mielizava, vaho zoe’e manahake izay, le ho haha i mpitoroñe rezay.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Arendreho zao te, ie napota’ ty tompon-traño ty ora ho niloneahe’ o malasoo, tsy ho nado’e ho foieñe i akiba’ey.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.”
Aa le mitaoa, fa ami’ty ora mahatondreñe anahareo ty hitotsaha’ i Ana’ondatiy.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Hoe t’i Petera: O Talè, tsinara’o ama’ay v’i ohatsey, ke amy màroy?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Le hoe t’i Talè: Ia arè ty mpamandroñe migahiñe naho mahihitse, tinendre’ ty bei’e hifeleke o añ’anjomba’eo hanonkantsonkañe mahakama ami’ty andro’e?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Haha ty mpitoroñe, t’ie zoe’ i talè’ey mifanehake hoe izay amy fibali’ey.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Eka! to t’itaroñako t’ie horiza’e ho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Fe naho zao ka ty fitsakorea’ i mpitoroñey, te: Tambatse añe i talèkoy. Ie miorotse mamangovango o mpitoroñeo, ndra lahy ndra ampela naho mitolon-tsorake vaho mitríke ho jike,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
ie pok’ao i talèm-pitoroñey ami’ty andro tsy itama’e naho ami’ty ora tsy apota’e; le ho trabotrabohe’e i mpamandroñey vaho hatrao’e fitobohañe amo tsereheñeo.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and did not prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
I mpitoroñe nahafohiñe ty satrin’arofo’ i bei’ey, fe tsy nañalankañe, naho tsy nanao i satri’eiy ro ho kimokimohen-doda.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Fa ze tsy naharendreke, ndra t’ie nanao ty mañeva fofoke, ro mone ho filopiloreñe. Ze nimeam-bey, bey ka ty ipaiañe; ze nampañajarieñe bey le bey ka ty hampañondrohañe aze.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Ty hametsahako afo an-tane atoy ty nivotrahako, le hàmake t’ie niviàñeñe!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
fe am-piliporañe hiliporako, aa le malovilovy ampara’ t’ie tondroke.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Atao’ areo ho ninday fifampilongoañe amy Taney hao ty fiaviko? Tsie, hoe iraho, te mone fifampiriàñe.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Henane zao, hifandietse ty lime mpitraok’ anjomba, ho liere’ ty telo ty roe naho ho liere’ ty roe ty telo.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Hifampiria aman-drae’e ty anadahy naho i anadahiy aman-drae’e; ty rene am’ty anak-ampela’e naho i anak-ampelay aman-drene’e; ty rafozan’ ampela ami’ty vinanto’e ampela, le i vinantoy aman-drafoza’e.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Hoe re amy lahialeñey: Ie tendreke rahoñe mionjoñe boak’ ahandrefañe añe, ro manao ty hoe: Ho avy ty orañe; le toe avy.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Ie mitiok’ atimo, le hoe ty asa’areo: Hatrovoke te anito, le eo izay.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not interpret this time?
O soamiatrekeo! Mahafitsikarake ty tarehe’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy nahareo; fe manao akore te tsy mahatsikarake ty vinta’ o sa zao?
57 “Why do not you judge for yourselves what is right?
Akore te tsy safirie’areo ty lala-mahity horiheñe.
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Ie indreza’o lia i rafelahi’oy mb’ amy ziziy mb’eo, ihe mbe an-dalañey, imaneo filongoañe, tsy mone ho kororohe’e mb’an-jizy mb’eo naho hatolo’ i ziziy amo mpandrohio, vaho hafetsa’ i mpandrohiy am-balabey ao.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ataliliko azo te tsy hiboak’ ao irehe ampara-pandroroña’o ze drala honka’e.
