Luke 12
1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ary tamin’ izany, raha niangona ny vahoaka betsaka tsy hita isa ka nifanitsaka, Jesosy dia niteny tamin’ ny mpianany aloha ka nanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon’ ny masirasiran’ ny Fariseo, dia ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.
2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
Fa tsy misy nafenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.
3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
Koa na inona na inona teneninareo ao amin’ ny maizina dia ho re eo amin’ ny mazava; ary izay bitsihinareo mangingina ao amin’ ny efi-trano dia hotorina eo amin’ ny tampon-trano.
4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
Ary lazaiko aminareo sakaizako hoe: Aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa nony afaka izany, dia tsy mahay manao mihoatra noho izany.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
Fa hasehoko anareo izay hatahoranareo: Matahora Izay manam-pahefana hanary any amin’ ny helo, rehefa novonoiny; eny, hoy Izaho aminareo: Matahora Azy. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
Tsy eranambatry va no vidin’ ny tsintsina dimy? nefa tsy misy hadinoina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ireny na dia iray akory aza.
7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa. Aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.
8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no manaiky Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia heken’ ny Zanak’ olona kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra;
9 But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Fa izay mandà Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia holavina kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Fa na zovy na zovy no hanao teny hanohitra ny Zanak’ olona dia hahazo famelan-keloka; fa izay miteny ratsy ny Fanahy Masìna dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka.
11 When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
Ary raha mitondra anareo ho ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny mpanapaka ary ny manam-pahefana izy, dia aza manahy izay havalinareo, na izay holazainareo;
12 For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
fa ny Fanahy Masìna no hampianatra anareo amin’ izany ora izany izay mety holazainareo.
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Ary nisy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, teneno ny rahalahiko mba hizara lova amiko.
14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
Fa hoy Izy taminy: Ralehilahy, iza no nanendry Ahy ho mpitsara na mpizara ao aminareo?
15 And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny olona: Mitandrema, ka miarova tena mba tsy ho azon’ ny fieremana ianareo; fa ny ain’ ny olona tsy miankina amin’ ny habetsahan’ ny zavatra ananany.
16 Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
Dia nanao fanoharana taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tanin’ ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray nahavokatra be.
17 So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
Ary izy nihevitra tao am-pony hoe: Ahoana no hataoko, fa tsy manana fitoerana hamoriako ny vokatro aho?
18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
Ary hoy izy: Izao no hataoko: handrava ny trano fitehirizako aho ka hanao izay lehibebe kokoa, ary ao no hamoriako ny variko rehetra sy ny fananako.
19 Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
Dia hilaza amin’ ny fanahiko hoe aho: Ry fanahy ô, manana fananana be voatahiry ho amin’ ny taona maro ianao; mitsahara, mihinàna, misotroa, mifalia.
20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
Fa Andriamanitra kosa nanao taminy hoe: Ry adala, anio alina no halaina aminao ny fanahinao, ka ho an’ iza izay zavatra noharinao?
21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
Toy izany izay mihary harena ho an’ ny tenany ihany, nefa tsy mba manan-karena ny amin’ Andriamanitra.
22 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Aza manahy ny amin’ ny ainareo, izay hohaninareo, na ny amin’ ny tenanaren, izay hotafinareo.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Fa ny aina mihoatra noho ny hanina, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana.
24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
Hevero ny goaika; fa tsy mba mamafy na mijinja ireny; ary tsy manana fitoeran-javatra na trano fitehirizana, nefa Andriamanitra mamelona azy; tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny vorona va ianareo?
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Ary iza moa ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro iainany, na dia kely monja aza?
26 So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Koa raha ny kely indrindra aza tsy hainareo, nahoana ianareo no manahy ny amin’ ny sisa?
27 Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Hevero ny fanirin’ ny voninkazo; tsy mba miasa na mamoly ireny; nefa lazaiko aminareo: Na dia Solomona teo amin’ ny voninahiny rehetra aza tsy mba nitafy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ireny.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
Ary raha ny ahitra izay any an-tsaha anio, nefa hatao ao am-patana rahampitso, no ampitafin’ Andriamanitra toy izany, tsy mainka va ianareo ry kely finoana?
29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
Koa aza mitady izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo ianareo, ary aza miahanahana.
30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
Fa ny jentilisa amin’ izao tontolo izao dia fatra-pitady izany rehetra izany; fa ny Rainareo mahalala fa tokony ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
Kanefa katsaho ny fanjakany; dia hanampy ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
Aza matahotra, ry ondry vitsy, fa efa sitraky ny Rainareo ny hanome anareo ny fanjakana.
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Amidio ny fanananareo, ka manaova fiantrana; manaova kitapom-bola tsy mety ho tonta ho anareo, dia harena any an-danitra tsy mety ho lany, izay tsy azon’ ny mpangalatra, sady tsy misy kalalao manimba.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Fa izay itoeran’ ny harenareo, dia ho any koa ny fonareo.
35 Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
Aoka hisikina ny valahanareo sy hirehitra ny jironareo;
36 Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny olona izay miandry ny tompony, raha mody avy amin’ ny fampakaram-bady izy, ka nony tonga sy mandondòna izy, dia vohany miaraka amin’ izay.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
Sambatra ny mpanompo izay ho hitan’ ny tompony miambina, raha avy izy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hisikina ny tompony, dia hampipetraka azy hihinana, dia ho avy ka hanompo azy.
38 Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
Ary na avy amin’ ny fiambenana faharoa amin’ ny alina izy, na avy amin’ ny fiambenana fahatelo, ka mahita toy izany, dia sambatra ireo mpanompo ireo.
39 But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
Ary fantaro izao, fa raha fantatry ny tompon-trano izay ora hihavian’ ny mpangalatra, dia ho niambina izy ka tsy namela ny tranony hotamina.
40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
Dia miomàna koa ianareo; fa ho avy ny Zanak’ olona amin’ izay ora tsy ampoizinareo.
41 “Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
Ary hoy Petera: Tompoko, izahay va no ilazanao izany fanoharana izany, sa ny olona rehetra?
42 And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Iza moa no mpitandri-draharaha mahatoky sy manan-tsaina, izay hotendren’ ny tompony hifehy ny mpanompony mba hanome azy anjara hanina amin’ ny fotoana?
43 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Sambatra ny mpanompo Izay ho hitan’ ny tompony fa, indreo, manao toy izany, raha avy izy.
44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Lazaiko aminareo marina fa hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.
45 But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
Fa raha manao anakampo kosa izany mpanompo izany hoe: Maharitra ela ny tompoko vao ho avy, ka dia mikapoka ny ankizilahy sy ny ankizivavy izy sady mihinana sy misotro ka mamo,
46 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
dia ho avy ny tompon’ izany mpanompo izany amin’ ny andro izay tsy ampoiziny sy amin’ ny ora izay tsy fantany, dia hotapahiny roa izy ka homeny anjara any amin’ ny tsy mahatoky.
47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
Fa ilay mpanompo izay mahalala ny sitrapon’ ny tompony ihany ka tsy miomana na manao izay sitraky ny fony dia hokapohina be.
48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
Fa izay tsy nahalala kosa ka nanao izay zavatra tokony hikapohana azy dia hokapohina kely. Fa izay nomena be, dia be no hotadiavina aminy; ary izay nampitehirizina be, dia bebe kokoa no hadinina aminy.
49 I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Tonga hanipy afo etỳ ambonin’ ny tany Aho, ka manao ahoana ny faniriako mba hirehetan’ izany sahady?
50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Ary manana batisa hanaovana Ahy batisa Aho, ka manao ahoana ny fahoriako ambara-pahatanterahany!
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
Ataonareo va fa tonga hanome fihavanana ambonin’ ny tany Aho? Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo, fa fampisarahana.
52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
Fa hatramin’ izao dia hisy dimy hisara-tsaina ao an-trano iray, ny telo hanohitra ny roa, ary ny roa hanohitra ny telo.
53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Hisara-tsaina ireo, ka ny ray hanohitra ny zananilahy, ary ny zanakalahy hanohitra ny rainy; ny reny hanohitra ny zananivavy, ary ny zanakavavy hanohitra ny reniny; ny rafozam-bavy hanohitra ny vinantoni-vavy, ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy.
54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny vahoaka: Raha mahita rahona miposaka any andrefana ianareo, miaraka amin’ izay dia hoy ianareo: Ho avy ny ranonorana; dia tonga izany.
55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
Ary raha avy any atsimo ny rivotra, dia hoy ianareo: Hafana ny andro; dia tonga izany.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
Hianareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, ny tarehin’ ny tany sy ny lanitra dia hainareo fantarina; fa ahoana kosa no tsy ahaizanareo mamantatra izao andro izao?
57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahalala mitsara araka ny marina?
58 Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. 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.
Fa raha miara-mandeha amin’ ny manana ady aminao ianao hanatrika ny mpanapaka, raha mbola any an-dalana dia mazotoa manao izay hahafahanao aminy, fandrao hitondra anao any amin’ ny mpitsara izy, ary ny mpitsara hanolotra anao amin’ ny mpamatotra, ary ny mpamatotra hanao anao ao an-tranomaizina.
59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
