< Matthew 12 >

1 At that time, Jesus went out through the ripe grain on the Sabbath. And his disciples, being hungry, began to separate the grain and to eat.
Tamin’ izany andro izany Jesosy nandeha namaky ny tanimbary tamin’ ny Sabata; ary noana ny mpianany ka nanoty salohim-bary, dia nihinana.
2 Then the Pharisees, seeing this, said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths.”
Fa nony nahita izany ny Fariseo, dia hoy izy taminy: Indro, ny mpianatrao manao izay tsy mety hatao amin’ ny Sabata.
3 But he said to them: “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon’ i Davida, raha noana izy mbamin’ izay nanaraka azy,
4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Fa niditra tao amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra izy ka nihinana ny mofo aseho, izay nahadiso raha haniny, na izay nanaraka azy, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany?
5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and they are without guilt?
Ary tsy mbola novakinareo ao amin’ ny lalàna va fa amin’ ny Sabata ny mpisorona ao amin’ ny tempoly manota ny Sabata, nefa tsy manan-tsiny?
6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
Ary dia lazaiko aminareo fa misy eto lehibe noho ny tempoly.
7 And if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would never have condemned the innocent.
Fa raha fantatrareo izay hevitry ny teny hoe: Famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà, dia tsy mba nanameloka ny tsy manan-tsiny ianareo.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Fa Tompon’ ny Sabata ny Zanak’ olona.
9 And when he had passed from there, he went into their synagogues.
Ary nony niala teo Jesosy, dia niditra tao amin’ ny synagoga;
10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?”
ary, indro, nisy lehilahy maty tanana teo. Ary ny olona nanontany Azy hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin’ ny Sabata? mba hiampangany Azy.
11 But he said to them: “Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no olona ao aminareo, raha manana ondry anankiray, ka latsaka any an-kady amin’ ny Sabata, no tsy handray azy sy hampakatra azy?
12 How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths.”
Ary tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny ondry va ny olona? Koa amin’ izany dia mety ny manao soa amin’ ny Sabata.
13 Then he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.
Dia hoy Izy tamin-dralehilahy: Ahinjiro ny tananao. Dia nahinjiny ka sitrana ho tahaka ny anankiray.
14 Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.
Ary ny Fariseo dia lasa nivoaka ka niara-nisaina mba hahafaty Azy.
15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.
Fa Jesosy nahalala izany, ka dia niala teo. Ary nisy olona betsaka nanaraka Azy, ka dia nositraniny avokoa izy rehetra;
16 And he instructed them, lest they make him known.
ary nandrara azy Izy tsy hanao izay hahafantarana Azy,
17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:
mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an’ Isaia mpaminany hoe:
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.
Indro ny Mpanompoko, Izay nofidiko, Ny Malalako, Izay sitraky ny foko indrindra; Hapetrako ao aminy ny Fanahiko, Ary hitory ny rariny amin’ ny jentilisa Izy;
19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Tsy hifanditra, na hiantso mafy Izy; Ary tsy hisy handre ny feony any an-dalana;
20 He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory.
Tsy hotapahiny ny volotara torotoro, Ary tsy hovonoiny ny lahin-jiro manetona, Ambara-pamoakany ny rariny ho mpandresy;
21 And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”
Ary ny anarany no hitokian’ ny jentilisa.
22 Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.
Dia nentina tany amin’ i Jesosy ny lehilahy anankiray izay demoniaka, sady jamba no moana; dia nositraniny, ka dia niteny sy nahita ilay moana.
23 And all the crowds were stupefied, and they said, “Could this be the son of David?”
Dia talanjona ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Moa Ity va Ilay Zanak’ i Davida?
24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.”
Fa nony ren’ ny Fariseo izany, dia hoy izy: Tsy misy amoahan’ ilehiny ny demonia, afa-tsy Belzeboba, lohan’ ny demonia.
25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Ary Jesosy nahalala ny eritreriny, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ho foana ny fanjakana rehetra izay miady an-trano; ary tsy haharitra ny tanàna rehetra, na ny trano, izay miady an-trano.
26 So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Ary raha Satana no mamoaka an’ i Satana, dia miady an-trano izy; ka ahoana no haharetan’ ny fanjakany?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
Ary raha Belzeboba no amoahako ny demonia, iza kosa no mba amoahan’ ny zanakareo azy? ary noho izany dia izy ihany no ho mpitsara anareo.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.
Fa raha ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra kosa no amoahako ny demonia, dia efa tonga aminareo sahady ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
29 Or how can anyone enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his belongings, unless he first restrains the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
Fa hataon’ ny olona ahoana no fiditra ao an-tranon’ ny mahery handroba ny entany, raha tsy afatony aloha ny mahery? dia vao handroba ny ao an-tranony izy.
30 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
Izay tsy momba Ahy dia manohitra Ahy; ary izay tsy miara-mamory amiko dia manahaka.
31 For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin’ ny ota sy fitenenan-dratsy samy hafa rehetra; fa tsy hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin’ ny fitenenan-dratsy ny Fanahy Masìna.
32 And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age. (aiōn g165)
Ary na iza na iza no manao teny hanohitra ny Zanak’ olona, dia hahazo famelan-keloka ihany; fa na iza na iza no miteny hanohitra ny Fanahy Masìna, dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka, na amin’ izao fiainana izao, na amin’ ny ho avy. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.
Koa ataovy tsara ny hazo mbamin’ ny voany, na ataovy ratsy ny hazo mbamin’ ny voany; fa ny voany no ahafantarana ny hazo.
34 Progeny of vipers, how are you able to speak good things while you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Ry taranaky ny menarana! hataonareo, izay ratsy fanahy, ahoana no fahay miteny zavatra tsara? fa avy amin’ ny haben’ ny ao am-po no itenenan’ ny vava.
35 A good man offers good things from a good storehouse. And an evil man offers evil things from an evil storehouse.
Ny rakitra tsara no amoahan’ ny olona tsara fanahy zavatra tsara; ary ny rakitra ratsy kosa no amoahan’ ny olona ratsy fanahy zavatra ratsy.
36 But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.
Ary lazaiko aminareo fa hampamoahina ny olona amin’ ny andro fitsarana noho ny amin’ ny teny foana rehetra izay ataony.
37 For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”
Fa ny teninao no hanamarinana anao, ary ny teninao no hanamelohana anao.
38 Then certain ones from the scribes and the Pharisees responded to him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Ary tamin’ izany ny sasany tamin’ ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, ta-hahita famantarana avy aminao izahay.
39 And answering, he said to them: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay taranaka ratsy fanahy sy mijangajanga dia fatra-pitady famantarana; nefa tsy hisy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy famantarana ny amin’ i Jona mpaminany;
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
fa tahaka ny nitoeran’ i Jona hateloan’ andro sy hateloan’ alina tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano lehibe, dia toy izany no hitoeran’ ny Zanak’ olona hateloan’ Andro sy hateloan’ alina ao anatin’ ny tany.
41 The men of Nineveh shall arise in judgment with this generation, and they shall condemn it. For, at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, there is a greater than Jonah here.
Ny olona tany Ninive hiara-mitsangana amin’ ity taranaka ity amin’ ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa nibebaka izy tamin’ ny nitorian’ i Jona teny; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Jona eto.
42 The Queen of the South shall arise in judgment with this generation, and she shall condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, there is a greater than Solomon here.
Ny mpanjakavavy avy tany atsimo hiara-mitsangana amin’ ity taranaka ity amin’ ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa avy tany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany izy hihaino ny fahendren’ i Solomona; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Solomona eto.
43 Now when an unclean spirit departs from a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and he does not find it.
Raha mivoaka amin’ ny olona ny fanahy maloto, dia mandeha mitety ny tany tsy misy rano izy, mitady fitsaharana, fa tsy mahita.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed’. And arriving, he finds it vacant, swept clean, and decorated.
Dia hoy izy: Hody any amin’ ny tranoko izay nivoahako aho; ary nony tonga izy, dia hitany fa foana ny trano sady voafafa no voavoatra.
45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there. And in the end, the man becomes worse than he was at first. So, too, shall it be with this most wicked generation.”
Ary dia mandeha izy ka mitondra fanahy fito hafa koa miaraka aminy izay ratsy noho izy; dia miditra ireo ka mitoetra ao; ary ny faran’ izany olona izany dia tonga ratsy noho ny voalohany. Ary dia tahaka izany koa no ho amin’ ity taranaka ratsy fanahy ity.
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him.
Ary raha mbola niteny tamin’ ny vahoaka Jesosy, indreo, ny reniny mbamin’ ny rahalahiny nijanona teo ala-trano nitady hiteny aminy.
47 And someone said to him: “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking you.”
Ary nisy anankiray nanao taminy hoe: Indreo, ny reninao mbamin’ ny rahalahinao mijanona ato ala-trano mitady hiteny aminao.
48 But responding to the one speaking to him, he said, “Which one is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
Fa namaly Izy ka nanao tamin’ ilay nilaza taminy hoe: Iza moa no reniko, ary iza no rahalahiko?
49 And extending his hand to his disciples, he said: “Behold: my mother and my brothers.
Ary naninjitra ny tànany nanondro ny mpianany Izy ka nanao hoe: Indreo ny reniko sy ny rahalahiko;
50 For anyone who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Fa na iza na iza no hanao ny sitrapon’ ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra, dia izy no rahalahiko sy anabaviko ary reniko.
