< Luke 12 >

1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, 'Take heed to yourselves of the leaven 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 and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
Toe tsy ao ty linomboke ze tsy haboake ndra ty nakafitse ze tsy haborake;
3 because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon 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 'And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;
Taroñeko ama’areo roàñeko ty hoe, ko marimarihañe ze mahay mamono ty sandriñe, fe tsy mahalefe mandi­koatse.
5 but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye 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 two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
Tsy drala roe hao ty vili’ ty tsikisoisoy lime? Fa ndra raik’ ama’e tsy andikòfan’ Añahare.
7 but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
Ndra ty maroi’ ty añambone’areo, fa fonga niaheñe. Aa le ko mahimahiñe, fa mandikoatse ty tsikisoisoy maro nahareo.
8 'And I say to you, Every one — whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,
Itaroñako: Ndra iaia mian­tok’ ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ro hiantofa’ i Ana’ondatiy añatrefa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
9 and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
Fe ze mitety ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ro hitetiako añatrefa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
10 and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.
Ndra iaia mitsiko i Ana’ondatiy ro mbe hiheveañe; fe tsy hiheveañe ka ze miteratera i Arofo Masiñey.
11 'And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may 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 in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
Fa hanare’ i Arofon-kamasiñañey ze ho saontsie’areo amy ora zay.
13 And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
Tamy lahialeñey ty nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Talè, saontsio ty rahalahiko ty hifanjara i lovay amako.
14 And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
Tinoi’e ty hoe: O korahe, ia ty nanendre ahy ho mpizaka ndra mpizara ama’areo?
15 And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
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 spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
Le hoe ty nirazañe’e: Namokatse soa ty tetem-pañaleale.
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
Le hoe ty safirin-tro’e: Hanao akore iraho henaneo, tsy eo ty hanontonako o hanekoo.
18 and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
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 soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, 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 'And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare — to 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] he who is treasuring up to 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 And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may 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 the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
Zoke’ ty mahakama ty haveloñe, naho ty saroñe i sandriñey.
24 'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?
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 who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Aa vaho ia ama’areo te mahimahiñe ro mahatovoñe ty andro hiveloma’e ndra kede?
26 If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
Aa naho tsy mete’ areo i raha kedekedey inoñe ty iveobeoha’ areo o raha ila’eo?
27 'Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed 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 and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you — ye 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 'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
Ko mi­tsoeke ty ho kamae’areo ndra hinome’ areo, le ko marimarike.
30 for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;
Fonga paiae’ o kilakila’ondatio irezay vaho arofoanan-dRae’areo te ipaia’areo ka.
31 but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
Fe hotsohotsò heik’ i Fifehea’ey le hatovoñe ama’areo ze he’e.
32 'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
Ko hembañe, ry mpirai-lia kedeo fa non-dRae’areo ty hanolotse anahareo i Fifeheañey.
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;
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 also your heart will be.
Fa ami’ty nampipohañe o fanaña’ areoo, le ao ka ty arofo’areo.
35 'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
Midiaña vania, le ampireheto o failo’ areoo,
36 and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may 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 'Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to 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 if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those servants.
He t’ie avy petsakaleñe ke mieli­zava, vaho zoe’e manahake izay, le ho haha i mpitoroñe rezay.
39 'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;
Arendreho zao te, ie napota’ ty tompon-traño ty ora ho niloneahe’ o malasoo, tsy ho nado’e ho foieñe i akiba’ey.
40 and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
Aa le mitaoa, fa ami’ty ora mahatondreñe anahareo ty hitotsaha’ i Ana’ondatiy.
41 And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
Hoe t’i Petera: O Talè, tsinara’o ama’ay v’i ohatsey, ke amy màroy?
42 And the Lord said, 'Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
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 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
Haha ty mpitoroñe, t’ie zoe’ i talè’ey mifanehake hoe izay amy fibali’ey.
44 truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
Eka! to t’itaroñako t’ie horiza’e ho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio.
45 'And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to 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 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.
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 having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall 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 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
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 'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was 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 am I pressed till it may be completed!
fe am-piliporañe hiliporako, aa le malovilovy ampara’ t’ie tondroke.
51 'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
Atao’ areo ho ninday fifampilongoañe amy Taney hao ty fiaviko? Tsie, hoe iraho, te mone fifampiriàñe.
52 for there shall be henceforth 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 a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a 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 And he said also to the multitudes, 'When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so;
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 — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
Ie mitiok’ atimo, le hoe ty asa’areo: Hatrovoke te anito, le eo izay.
56 hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time — how do ye not make proof of [it]?
O soamiatrekeo! Mahafitsikarake ty tarehe’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy nahareo; fe manao akore te tsy mahatsikarake ty vinta’ o sa zao?
57 'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
Akore te tsy safirie’areo ty lala-mahity horiheñe.
58 for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee 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 say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
Ataliliko azo te tsy hiboak’ ao irehe ampara-pandroroña’o ze drala honka’e.
