Lioka 11
1 Ary Jesosy nivavaka tao amin’ ny fitoerana iray, ka rehefa nitsahatra Izy, dia hoy ny mpianany anankiray taminy: Tompoko, mampianara anay hivavaka, tahaka ny nampianaran’ i Jaona ny mpianany.
And it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, that, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Raha mivavaka ianareo, dia ataovy hoe: Ray ô hohamasinina anie ny anaranao. Ho tonga anie ny fanjakanao.
And he said to them: When you pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
3 Omeo anay isan’ andro izay hanina sahaza ho anay.
Give us, day by day, the bread sufficient for our support;
4 Ary mamelà ny helokay; fa izahay koa mamela izay rehetra meloka aminay. Ary aza mitondra anay ho amin’ ny fakam-panahy.
and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
5 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Iza moa aminareo no manana sakaiza, izay hankeo aminy mamatonalina ka hanao aminy hoe: Ry sakaiza, ampisambory mofo telo aho;
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 fa ny sakaizako nandeha tamin’ ny nalehany, dia tonga atsy amiko, ka tsy misy izay hafahako azy;
for a friend of mine, who is on a journey, has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 ary ilay ao an-trano kosa hamaly ka hanao hoe: Aza manahirana ahy; fa efa mihidy ny varavarana izao, ary ny zanako mandry eto am-pandriana eto amiko; tsy afaka hifoha hanome anao aho?
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is already closed, and my children and myself are in bed; I can not rise and give you.
8 Hoy Izaho aminareo: Na dia tsy hiainga hanome azy noho ny fisakaizana aza izy, dia hifoha ihany izy noho ny fitarainany fatratra ka hanome azy izay ilainy.
I say to you, Although he will not arise and give him, because he is his friend, yet, on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as many as he needs.
9 Ary hoy izaho aminareo: Mangataha, dia homena ianareo; mitadiava, dia hahita ianareo; dondony, dia hovohana ianareo.
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 Fa izay rehetra mangataka no mahazo; ary izay mitady no mahita; ary izay mandondòna no hovohana.
For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.
11 Fa iza moa aminareo izay ray, raha angatahan’ ny zanany mofo, no hanome azy vato? ary raha angatahany hazandrano, no hanome azy menarana ho solon’ ny hazandrano?
If a son ask bread of any one of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he, instead of a fish, give him a serpent?
12 ary raha angatahany atody, no hanome azy maingoka?
Or if he ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Koa raha ianareo, na dia ratsy aza, mahalala hanome zava-tsoa ho an’ ny zanakareo, tsy mainka va ny Ray, Izay any an-danitra, no hanome ny Fanahy Masìna ho an’ izay mangataka aminy?
If, then, you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Ary Jesosy namoaka demonia moana. Ary rehefa nivoaka ny demonia, dia niteny ilay moana; ka dia gaga ny vahoaka.
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, when the demon had gone out, that the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes wondered.
15 Fa hoy ny sasany; Belzeboba, lohan’ ny demonia, no amoahany ny demonia.
But some of them said: He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.
16 Fa ny sasany kosa naka fanahy Azy ka nangataka famantarana taminy avy any an-danitra.
And others, that they might tempt him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
17 Fa Izy nahalala ny heviny, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ho foana ny fanjakana rehetra izay miady an-trano; ary ho rava ny ankohonana izay miady an-trano.
But, knowing their purpose, he said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and a house that is divided against a house, falls.
18 Ary raha Satana koa aza no miady an-trano, ahoana no haharetan’ ny fanjakany? Fa hoy ianareo: Belzeboba no amoahako ny demonia.
If Satan be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For you say, that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Fa raha Izaho mamoaka demonia amin’ ny herin’ i Belzeboba, dia amin’ ny herin’ iza kosa no amoahan’ ny zanakareo azy? koa amin’ izany dia ho mpitsara anareo ireo.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
20 Fa raha ny rantsan-tànan’ Andriamanitra no amoahako ny demonia, dia tonga aminareo tokoa ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then has the kingdom of God already come upon you.
21 Raha ny mahery mivonona amin’ ny fiadiany no miaro ny tranony, dia tsy haninona ny fananany.
When the strong man armed keeps guard over his palace, his goods are in peace;
22 Fa raha avy kosa izay mahery noho izy ka mandresy azy, dia alainy ny fiadiany rehetra izay nitokiany, ary izay azony ho babo dia zarainy.
but when one stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23 Izay tsy momba Ahy dia manohitra Ahy; ary izay tsy miara-mamory amiko dia manahaka.
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathers not with me, scatters.
24 Raha mivoaka amin’ ny olona ny fanahy maloto, dia mandeha mitety ny tany tsy misy rano izy, mitady fitsaharana; ary rehefa tsy mahita, dia hoy izy: Hody any an-tranoko izay nivoahako aho.
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house out of which I came.
25 Ary nony tonga izy, dia hitany fa voafafa sy voavoatra ny trano.
And he comes and finds it swept, and set in order.
26 Ary dia mandeha izy ka mitondra fanahy fito hafa koa ratsy noho izy; dia miditra ireo ka mitoetra ao; ary ny faran’ izany olona izany dia ratsy noho ny voalohany.
Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits, more wicked than himself, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 Ary raha nilaza izany Jesosy, dia nisy vehivavy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka niantso ka nanao taminy hoe: Sambatra ny kibo izay nitondra Anao sy ny nono izay ninonoanao.
And it came to pass, that, when he said these things, a certain woman from among the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts that thou didst suck.
28 Fa Izy nanao hoe: Eny tokoa, kanefa mainka sambatra aza ny mihaino ny tenin’ Andriamanitra ka mitandrina izany.
And he said: Yes, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Ary raha mbola niangona ny vahoaka betsaka, dia nilaza hoe Izy: Ity taranaka ity dia taranaka ratsy. Mitady famantarana izy; nefa tsy hisy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy ny famantarana ny amin’ i Jona;
And when the multitudes were crowded together, he began to say: This is an evil generation; it asks for a sign, and no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Fa tahaka an’ i Jona izay famantarana tamin’ ny Ninivita, dia ho toy izany koa ny Zanak’ olona amin’ ity taranaka ity.
For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of man shall also be to this generation.
31 Ny mpanjakavavy avy tany atsimo dia hiara-mitsangana amin’ ny lehilahy 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.
The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; for she came from the most distant parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, something greater than Solomon is here.
32 Ny olona tany Ninive hiara-mitsangana amin’ ity taranaka ity amin’ ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy, fa izy nibebaka tamin’ ny nitorian’ i Jona teny; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Jona eto.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it; for they repented in accordance with the preaching of Jonah; and lo, something greater than Jonah is here.
33 Tsy misy olona mandrehitra jiro ka mametraka azy ao an-davaka, na ao ambanin’ ny vata famarana, fa apetrany eo amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro izy, mba ho hitan’ izay miditra ny mazava.
No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but upon the lamp-stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 Ny masonao no jiron’ ny tena; koa raha tsara ny masonao, dia mazava ny tenanao rehetra; fa raha ratsy izy, dia maizina koa ny tenanao.
The lamp of the body is the eye; when, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body also is light; but if it be diseased, your body also is dark.
35 Koa tandremo, fandrao maizina ny mazava izay ao anatinao.
Take heed, therefore, lest the light that is in you be darkness.
36 Ary amin’ izany, raha mazava ny tenanao rehetra, ka tsy misy maizina, dia hazava avokoa izy rehetra, tahaka ny jiro raha mirehitra tsara ka manazava anao.
If, therefore, your whole body is light, having no part dark, the whole shall be light, as when a lamp, by its brightness, gives you light.
37 Ary raha mbola niteny Jesosy, dia nisy Fariseo nampiantrano Azy hisakafo ao aminy; dia niditra Izy ka nipetraka nihinana.
And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at table.
38 Fa gaga ilay Fariseo, raha nahita fa tsy nisasa Izy vao nihinana.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he wondered that he had not first immersed himself before dinner.
39 Fa hoy ny Tompo taminy: Ankehitriny ianareo Fariseo dia manadio ny vohon’ ny kapoaka sy ny lovia, nefa ny ao anatinareo kosa dia feno rombaka sy faharatsiana.
And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the plate; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Ry adala! Tsy izay nanao ny vohony va no nanao ny atiny koa?
Senseless men, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also?
41 Fa ny zavatra eo anatiny no aoka homenareo ho fiantrana, dia, indro, madio ho anareo ny zavatra rehetra.
But give as charity the contents of the cup, and behold, all things are clean for you.
42 Fa lozanareo, Fariseo! fa mandoa ny fahafolon’ ny solila sy ny rota ary izay anana famboly rehetra ianareo, nefa lalovanareo ny fitsarana sy ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra; ireto tokony ho nataonareo, nefa tsy tokony havelanareo ireroana.
But alas for you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have left undone.
43 Lozanareo, Fariseo! fa tia ny fipetrahana aloha ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny fiarahabana any an-tsena ianareo.
Alas for you, Pharisees! for you love the chief seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Lozanareo, fa ianareo dia tahaka ny fasana tsy hita, ka tsy fantatry ny olona izay manitsaka azy.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like graves that are not seen; and men that walk over them know it not.
45 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny mpahay lalàna namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, raha miteny izany Hianao, dia manala baraka anay koa.
And one of the lawyers answered and said to him: Teacher, in saying these things, you reproach us also.
46 Fa hoy Jesosy: Lozanareo, mpahay lalàna koa! fa mampitondra ny olona entana sarotra entina ianareo, nefa tsy manendry izany entana izany akory ianareo, na dia amin’ ny rantsan-tananareo iray aza.
He replied: Alas for you, lawyers, also! for you bind upon men burdens hard to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers,
47 Lozanareo! fa manao ny rarivatom-pasan’ ny mpaminany ianareo, nefa ny razanareo ihany no namono azy.
Alas for you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Dia vavolombelona ianareo ka manaiky ny asan’ ny razanareo; fa izy no namono azy, ary ianareo kosa manao ny rarivatom-pasany.
Therefore you attest and approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.
49 Koa izany no nanambaran’ ny fahendren’ Andriamanitra hoe: Haniraka mpaminany sy apostoly ho any aminy Aho, ka ny sasany hovonoiny, ary ny sasany henjehiny,
For this reason also the Wisdom of God said: I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and persecute,
50 mba hadinina amin’ ity taranaka ity ny ran’ ny mpaminany rehetra izay nalatsaka hatramin’ ny nanorenana izao tontolo izao,
that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 dia hatramin’ ny ran’ i Abela ka hatramin’ ny ran’ i Zakaria, izay novonoina teo anelanelan’ ny alitara sy ny tempoly. Eny, lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hadinina amin’ ity taranaka ity izany.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the temple; yes, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Lozanareo, mpahay lalàna! satria nalainareo ny fanalahidin’ ny fahalalana; ianareo tsy niditra, ary izay te-hiditra dia nosakananareo.
Alas for you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not go in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you prevented.
53 Ary raha niala teo Izy, dia noteren’ ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo fatratra sady nadinadininy zavatra maro.
And when he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very angry, and to put questions to him about many things,
54 Dia nihendry Azy izy ireo hamandrihany Azy tamin’ ny teny naloaky ny vavany.
trying to entrap him, and seeking to lay hold on something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
