Luke 16
1 Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianatra: Nisy olona manan-karena anankiray nanana mpitandrina ny fananany; ary ilehiny dia nampangain’ olona taminy fa mandany ny fananany.
2 So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
Ary nampaka azy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana izao fandrenesako anao izao? Mamoaha ny amin’ ny fitandremanao ny fananako; fa tsy mahazo mitandrina ny fananako intsony ianao.
3 The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
Ary ilay mpitandrina ny fananana nanao anakampo hoe: Inona ange no hataoko, fa esorin’ ny tompoko amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananany aho? Ny miasa tany tsy tratry ny aiko; ny mangataka mahamenatra ahy.
4 I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
Fantatro izay hataoko, mba hisy handray ahy ho ao an-tranony, rehefa voaisotra amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananana aho.
5 And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
Dia niantso izay rehetra nitrosa tamin’ ny tompony izy hankao aminy ka nanao tamin’ ny voalohany hoe: Hoatrinona no trosan’ ny tompoko aminao?
6 ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
Ary hoy io: Diloilo injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao, ary mipetraha faingana, ka dimam-polo no soraty.
7 Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny anankiray koa: Hoatrinona kosa no trosa aminao? Ary hoy izy: Vary injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao ka valo-polo no soraty.
8 The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
Ary ny tompony nidera ilay mpitandrina tsy marina, satria nanan-tsaina izy; fa ny zanak’ izao tontolo izao dia manan-tsaina kokoa ny amin’ ny karazany noho ny zanaky ny mazava. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Ary hoy Izaho aminareo: Aoka ny mamôna tsy marina ho entinareo mahazo sakaiza, mba horaisin’ ireo ho any amin’ ny fonenana mandrakizay ianareo, rehefa lany izany. (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
Ary izay mahatoky amin’ ny kely indrindra dia mahatoky koa amin’ ny be; ary izay tsy marina amin’ ny kely indrindra dia tsy marina koa amin’ ny be.
11 So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
Koa raha tsy mahatoky amin’ ny mamôna tsy marina ianareo, iza no hatoky anareo ny amin’ ny tena harena?
12 And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
Ary raha tsy mahatoky amin’ izay an’ olona ianareo, iza no hanome anareo izay anareo?
13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Tsy misy mpanompo mahay manompo tompo roa; fa ny anankiray ho halany, ary anankiray ho tiany; na ny anankiray hombany, ary ny anankiray hohamavoiny. Tsy mahay manompo an’ Andriamanitra sy mamôna ianareo.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
Ary ny Fariseo, izay fatra-pitia vola, raha nandre izany rehetra izay, dia naneso an’ i Jesosy.
15 So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Hianareo dia mpanamarin-tena eo anatrehan’ ny olona, nefa Andriamanitra mahalala ny fonareo; fa izay zavatra heverin’ ny olona ho ambony dia fahavetavetana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Ny lalàna sy ny mpaminany dia hatramin’ i Jaona; ary hatramin’ izany no efa nitoriana ny filazantsaran’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary misesika izay rehetra miditra eo.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hahafoanan’ ny lanitra sy ny tany noho ny hahafoanan’ ny tendron-tsoratra iray monja aza amin’ ny lalàna.
18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Izay rehetra misao-bady ka mampakatra ny hafa dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra vehivavy voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.
19 Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
Nisy lehilahy manan-karena anankiray niakanjo volomparasy sy rongony fotsy madinika sady nanaram-po fatratra isan’ andro tamin’ ny fahafinaretana.
20 And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
Ary nisy olo-malahelo ferena anankiray atao hoe Lazarosy napetraka teo anilan’ ny vavahadiny;
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
ary naniry mba hihinana izay latsaka avy tamin’ ny latabatr’ ilay manan-karena izy, fa ny alika kosa no avy ka nilelaka ny feriny.
22 One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
Ary maty ilay malahelo, dia nentin’ ny anjely ho any an-tratran’ i Abrahama; ary maty koa ilay manan-karena, dia nalevina;
23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. (Hadēs g86)
ary raha nijaly tao amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy ka niandrandra, dia nahita an’ i Abrahama teny lavitra eny sy Lazarosy teo an-tratrany. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
Ary izy niantso ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama raiko ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka iraho Lazarosy mba hanoboka ny tendron’ ny rantsan-tanany amin’ ny rano mba hampangatsiaka ny lelako; fa fadiranovana aho eto anatin’ ity lelafo ity.
25 But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka, tsarovy fa ianao efa nahazo ny zava-tsoanao tamin’ ny andro niainanao, ary Lazarosy kosa ny zava-dratsy; fa ankehitriny izy no ampifalinay atỳ, ary ianao kosa no fadiranovana.
26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
Ary mihoatra noho izany rehetra izany, misy tevana makadiry ajadona ao anelanelantsika, mba tsy ho afa-mita hankeny aminareo izay te-hiala etỳ, ary ny ho afa-mita hanketỳ aminay izay eny.
27 ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
Dia hoy izy: Mangataka aminao ary aho, ry raiko: mba iraho Lazarosy hankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko
28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
(fa manana rahalahy dimy aho), mba hilaza tsara aminy, fandrao mba ho tongay amin’ ity fijaliana ity koa izy.
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Manana an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy; aoka hihaino ireo izy.
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsia, ry Abrahama, raiko; fa raha misy miala amin’ ny maty hankany aminy, dia hibebaka izy.
31 Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Raha tsy mihaino an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy, dia tsy hety hino izy, na dia misy mitsangana amin’ ny maty aza.
