Luke 12
1 Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of 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 There is nothing that is covered up which will not be uncovered, nor hidden which will not become known.
Toe tsy ao ty linomboke ze tsy haboake ndra ty nakafitse ze tsy haborake;
3 Whatever therefore you have said in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what you have whispered within closed doors will be proclaimed from the house-tops.
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 "But to you who are my friends I say, "'Be not afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing further.
Taroñeko ama’areo roàñeko ty hoe, ko marimarihañe ze mahay mamono ty sandriñe, fe tsy mahalefe mandikoatse.
5 I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who after killing has power to throw into Gehenna: yes, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
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 a penny? and yet not one of them is a thing forgotten in God's sight.
Tsy drala roe hao ty vili’ ty tsikisoisoy lime? Fa ndra raik’ ama’e tsy andikòfan’ Añahare.
7 But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
Ndra ty maroi’ ty añambone’areo, fa fonga niaheñe. Aa le ko mahimahiñe, fa mandikoatse ty tsikisoisoy maro nahareo.
8 "And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge 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 disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
Fe ze mitety ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ro hitetiako añatrefa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
10 "Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man, may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never obtain forgiveness.
Ndra iaia mitsiko i Ana’ondatiy ro mbe hiheveañe; fe tsy hiheveañe ka ze miteratera i Arofo Masiñey.
11 And when they are bringing you before synagogues and magistrates and governors, do not anxiously ponder the manner or matter of your defence, nor what you are to 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 shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
Fa hanare’ i Arofon-kamasiñañey ze ho saontsie’areo amy ora zay.
13 Just then a man in the crowd appealed to Him. "Rabbi," he said, "tell my brother to give me a share of the inheritance."
Tamy lahialeñey ty nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Talè, saontsio ty rahalahiko ty hifanjara i lovay amako.
14 "Man," He replied, "who has constituted me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
Tinoi’e ty hoe: O korahe, ia ty nanendre ahy ho mpizaka ndra mpizara ama’areo?
15 And to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions."
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Mitaoa naho mitomira tsy ho azo’ ty fihañañe, fa tsy miato ami’ty fanaña’e ty havelo’ ondaty.
16 And He spoke a parable to them. "A certain rich man's lands," He said, "yielded abundant crops,
Le hoe ty nirazañe’e: Namokatse soa ty tetem-pañaleale.
17 and he debated within himself, saying, "'What am I to do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'
Le hoe ty safirin-tro’e: Hanao akore iraho henaneo, tsy eo ty hanontonako o hanekoo.
18 "And he said to himself, "'This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and in them I will store up all my harvest and my wealth;
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 and I will say to my life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'
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, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall 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 it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."
Hambañe amy zay ty ho amy ze mitamiry vara ho am-bata’e, f’ie tsy mpañaleale aman’ Añahare.
22 Then turning to His disciples He said, "For this reason I say to you, 'Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'
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 For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
Zoke’ ty mahakama ty haveloñe, naho ty saroñe i sandriñey.
24 Observe the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the 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 And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
Aa vaho ia ama’areo te mahimahiñe ro mahatovoñe ty andro hiveloma’e ndra kede?
26 If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
Aa naho tsy mete’ areo i raha kedekedey inoñe ty iveobeoha’ areo o raha ila’eo?
27 Observe the lilies, how they grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed as 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 God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble 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 "Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.
Ko mitsoeke ty ho kamae’areo ndra hinome’ areo, le ko marimarike.
30 For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
Fonga paiae’ o kilakila’ondatio irezay vaho arofoanan-dRae’areo te ipaia’areo ka.
31 But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
Fe hotsohotsò heik’ i Fifehea’ey le hatovoñe ama’areo ze he’e.
32 "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.
Ko hembañe, ry mpirai-lia kedeo fa non-dRae’areo ty hanolotse anahareo i Fifeheañey.
33 Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
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 wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
Fa ami’ty nampipohañe o fanaña’ areoo, le ao ka ty arofo’areo.
35 "Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
Midiaña vania, le ampireheto o failo’ areoo,
36 and be yourselves like men waiting for their master--on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast--that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.
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 their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on 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 And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed are they.
He t’ie avy petsakaleñe ke mielizava, vaho zoe’e manahake izay, le ho haha i mpitoroñe rezay.
39 Of this be sure, that if the master of the house had known what time the robber was coming, he would have kept awake and not have 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 Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come."
Aa le mitaoa, fa ami’ty ora mahatondreñe anahareo ty hitotsaha’ i Ana’ondatiy.
41 "Master," said Peter, "are you addressing this parable to us, or to all alike?"
Hoe t’i Petera: O Talè, tsinara’o ama’ay v’i ohatsey, ke amy màroy?
42 "Who, then," replied the Lord, "is the faithful and intelligent steward whom his Master will put in charge of His household to serve out their rations at the proper 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 Master when He comes shall find so doing.
Haha ty mpitoroñe, t’ie zoe’ i talè’ey mifanehake hoe izay amy fibali’ey.
44 I tell you truly that He will put him in authority over all His possessions.
Eka! to t’itaroñako t’ie horiza’e ho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio.
45 But if that servant should say in his heart, 'My Master is a long time in coming,' and should begin to beat the menservants and the maids, and to eat and drink, drinking even to excess;
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 that servant's Master will come on a day when he is not expecting Him and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and make him share the lot of 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 And that servant who has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, will receive many lashes.
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 had not been told it and yet did what deserved the scourge, will receive but few lashes. To whomsoever much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him a larger amount will be demanded.
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 upon the earth, and what is my desire? Oh that it were even now kindled!
Ty hametsahako afo an-tane atoy ty nivotrahako, le hàmake t’ie niviàñeñe!
50 But I have a baptism to undergo; and how am I pent up till it is accomplished!
fe am-piliporañe hiliporako, aa le malovilovy ampara’ t’ie tondroke.
51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you that I came to bring dissension.
Atao’ areo ho ninday fifampilongoañe amy Taney hao ty fiaviko? Tsie, hoe iraho, te mone fifampiriàñe.
52 For from this time there will be in one house five persons split into parties. Three will form a party against two and two will form a party against three;
Henane zao, hifandietse ty lime mpitraok’ anjomba, ho liere’ ty telo ty roe naho ho liere’ ty roe ty telo.
53 father against son and son against father; mother attacking daughter and daughter her mother, mother-in-law her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law 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 Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.
Hoe re amy lahialeñey: Ie tendreke rahoñe mionjoñe boak’ ahandrefañe añe, ro manao ty hoe: Ho avy ty orañe; le toe avy.
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.
Ie mitiok’ atimo, le hoe ty asa’areo: Hatrovoke te anito, le eo izay.
56 Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present 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, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
Akore te tsy safirie’areo ty lala-mahity horiheñe.
58 For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in 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 Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
Ataliliko azo te tsy hiboak’ ao irehe ampara-pandroroña’o ze drala honka’e.
