Lioka 12
1 Ary tamin’ izany, raha niangona ny vahoaka betsaka tsy hita isa ka nifanitsaka, Jesosy dia niteny tamin’ ny mpianany aloha ka nanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon’ ny masirasiran’ ny Fariseo, dia ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Fa tsy misy nafenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
3 Koa na inona na inona teneninareo ao amin’ ny maizina dia ho re eo amin’ ny mazava; ary izay bitsihinareo mangingina ao amin’ ny efi-trano dia hotorina eo amin’ ny tampon-trano.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Ary lazaiko aminareo sakaizako hoe: Aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa nony afaka izany, dia tsy mahay manao mihoatra noho izany.
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Fa hasehoko anareo izay hatahoranareo: Matahora Izay manam-pahefana hanary any amin’ ny helo, rehefa novonoiny; eny, hoy Izaho aminareo: Matahora Azy. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Tsy eranambatry va no vidin’ ny tsintsina dimy? nefa tsy misy hadinoina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ireny na dia iray akory aza.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa. Aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no manaiky Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia heken’ ny Zanak’ olona kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra;
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 Fa izay mandà Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia holavina kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra.
but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 Fa na zovy na zovy no hanao teny hanohitra ny Zanak’ olona dia hahazo famelan-keloka; fa izay miteny ratsy ny Fanahy Masìna dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Ary raha mitondra anareo ho ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny mpanapaka ary ny manam-pahefana izy, dia aza manahy izay havalinareo, na izay holazainareo;
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 fa ny Fanahy Masìna no hampianatra anareo amin’ izany ora izany izay mety holazainareo.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
13 Ary nisy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, teneno ny rahalahiko mba hizara lova amiko.
And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Ralehilahy, iza no nanendry Ahy ho mpitsara na mpizara ao aminareo?
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15 Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny olona: Mitandrema, ka miarova tena mba tsy ho azon’ ny fieremana ianareo; fa ny ain’ ny olona tsy miankina amin’ ny habetsahan’ ny zavatra ananany.
He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Dia nanao fanoharana taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tanin’ ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray nahavokatra be.
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 Ary izy nihevitra tao am-pony hoe: Ahoana no hataoko, fa tsy manana fitoerana hamoriako ny vokatro aho?
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
18 Ary hoy izy: Izao no hataoko: handrava ny trano fitehirizako aho ka hanao izay lehibebe kokoa, ary ao no hamoriako ny variko rehetra sy ny fananako.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 Dia hilaza amin’ ny fanahiko hoe aho: Ry fanahy ô, manana fananana be voatahiry ho amin’ ny taona maro ianao; mitsahara, mihinàna, misotroa, mifalia.
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
20 Fa Andriamanitra kosa nanao taminy hoe: Ry adala, anio alina no halaina aminao ny fanahinao, ka ho an’ iza izay zavatra noharinao?
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
21 Toy izany izay mihary harena ho an’ ny tenany ihany, nefa tsy mba manan-karena ny amin’ Andriamanitra.
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
22 Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Aza manahy ny amin’ ny ainareo, izay hohaninareo, na ny amin’ ny tenanaren, izay hotafinareo.
He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Fa ny aina mihoatra noho ny hanina, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Hevero ny goaika; fa tsy mba mamafy na mijinja ireny; ary tsy manana fitoeran-javatra na trano fitehirizana, nefa Andriamanitra mamelona azy; tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny vorona va ianareo?
Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
25 Ary iza moa ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro iainany, na dia kely monja aza?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Koa raha ny kely indrindra aza tsy hainareo, nahoana ianareo no manahy ny amin’ ny sisa?
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Hevero ny fanirin’ ny voninkazo; tsy mba miasa na mamoly ireny; nefa lazaiko aminareo: Na dia Solomona teo amin’ ny voninahiny rehetra aza tsy mba nitafy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ireny.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Ary raha ny ahitra izay any an-tsaha anio, nefa hatao ao am-patana rahampitso, no ampitafin’ Andriamanitra toy izany, tsy mainka va ianareo ry kely finoana?
But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Koa aza mitady izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo ianareo, ary aza miahanahana.
Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Fa ny jentilisa amin’ izao tontolo izao dia fatra-pitady izany rehetra izany; fa ny Rainareo mahalala fa tokony ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Kanefa katsaho ny fanjakany; dia hanampy ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 Aza matahotra, ry ondry vitsy, fa efa sitraky ny Rainareo ny hanome anareo ny fanjakana.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Amidio ny fanananareo, ka manaova fiantrana; manaova kitapom-bola tsy mety ho tonta ho anareo, dia harena any an-danitra tsy mety ho lany, izay tsy azon’ ny mpangalatra, sady tsy misy kalalao manimba.
Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
34 Fa izay itoeran’ ny harenareo, dia ho any koa ny fonareo.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Aoka hisikina ny valahanareo sy hirehitra ny jironareo;
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
36 ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny olona izay miandry ny tompony, raha mody avy amin’ ny fampakaram-bady izy, ka nony tonga sy mandondòna izy, dia vohany miaraka amin’ izay.
Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Sambatra ny mpanompo izay ho hitan’ ny tompony miambina, raha avy izy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hisikina ny tompony, dia hampipetraka azy hihinana, dia ho avy ka hanompo azy.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 Ary na avy amin’ ny fiambenana faharoa amin’ ny alina izy, na avy amin’ ny fiambenana fahatelo, ka mahita toy izany, dia sambatra ireo mpanompo ireo.
And if he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 Ary fantaro izao, fa raha fantatry ny tompon-trano izay ora hihavian’ ny mpangalatra, dia ho niambina izy ka tsy namela ny tranony hotamina.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Dia miomàna koa ianareo; fa ho avy ny Zanak’ olona amin’ izay ora tsy ampoizinareo.
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
41 Ary hoy Petera: Tompoko, izahay va no ilazanao izany fanoharana izany, sa ny olona rehetra?
And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
42 Ary hoy ny Tompo: Iza moa no mpitandri-draharaha mahatoky sy manan-tsaina, izay hotendren’ ny tompony hifehy ny mpanompony mba hanome azy anjara hanina amin’ ny fotoana?
The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Sambatra ny mpanompo Izay ho hitan’ ny tompony fa, indreo, manao toy izany, raha avy izy.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Lazaiko aminareo marina fa hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 Fa raha manao anakampo kosa izany mpanompo izany hoe: Maharitra ela ny tompoko vao ho avy, ka dia mikapoka ny ankizilahy sy ny ankizivavy izy sady mihinana sy misotro ka mamo,
But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
46 dia ho avy ny tompon’ izany mpanompo izany amin’ ny andro izay tsy ampoiziny sy amin’ ny ora izay tsy fantany, dia hotapahiny roa izy ka homeny anjara any amin’ ny tsy mahatoky.
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Fa ilay mpanompo izay mahalala ny sitrapon’ ny tompony ihany ka tsy miomana na manao izay sitraky ny fony dia hokapohina be.
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 Fa izay tsy nahalala kosa ka nanao izay zavatra tokony hikapohana azy dia hokapohina kely. Fa izay nomena be, dia be no hotadiavina aminy; ary izay nampitehirizina be, dia bebe kokoa no hadinina aminy.
but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 Tonga hanipy afo etỳ ambonin’ ny tany Aho, ka manao ahoana ny faniriako mba hirehetan’ izany sahady?
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 Ary manana batisa hanaovana Ahy batisa Aho, ka manao ahoana ny fahoriako ambara-pahatanterahany!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
51 Ataonareo va fa tonga hanome fihavanana ambonin’ ny tany Aho? Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo, fa fampisarahana.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Fa hatramin’ izao dia hisy dimy hisara-tsaina ao an-trano iray, ny telo hanohitra ny roa, ary ny roa hanohitra ny telo.
For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Hisara-tsaina ireo, ka ny ray hanohitra ny zananilahy, ary ny zanakalahy hanohitra ny rainy; ny reny hanohitra ny zananivavy, ary ny zanakavavy hanohitra ny reniny; ny rafozam-bavy hanohitra ny vinantoni-vavy, ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy.
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
54 Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny vahoaka: Raha mahita rahona miposaka any andrefana ianareo, miaraka amin’ izay dia hoy ianareo: Ho avy ny ranonorana; dia tonga izany.
He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Ary raha avy any atsimo ny rivotra, dia hoy ianareo: Hafana ny andro; dia tonga izany.
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 Hianareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, ny tarehin’ ny tany sy ny lanitra dia hainareo fantarina; fa ahoana kosa no tsy ahaizanareo mamantatra izao andro izao?
Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
57 Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahalala mitsara araka ny marina?
Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Fa raha miara-mandeha amin’ ny manana ady aminao ianao hanatrika ny mpanapaka, raha mbola any an-dalana dia mazotoa manao izay hahafahanao aminy, fandrao hitondra anao any amin’ ny mpitsara izy, ary ny mpitsara hanolotra anao amin’ ny mpamatotra, ary ny mpamatotra hanao anao ao an-tranomaizina.
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
