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.
Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.
2 Fa tsy misy nafenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.
But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made 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.
Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall 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.
And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which 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 suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (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 farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.
7 Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa. Aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.
But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
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;
And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
9 Fa izay mandà Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia holavina kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra.
But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers 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.
And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall 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;
But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 fa ny Fanahy Masìna no hampianatra anareo amin’ izany ora izany izay mety holazainareo.
For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
13 Ary nisy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, teneno ny rahalahiko mba hizara lova amiko.
And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
14 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Ralehilahy, iza no nanendry Ahy ho mpitsara na mpizara ao aminareo?
But, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider 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.
And he said unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.
16 Dia nanao fanoharana taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tanin’ ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray nahavokatra be.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
17 Ary izy nihevitra tao am-pony hoe: Ahoana no hataoko, fa tsy manana fitoerana hamoriako ny vokatro aho?
And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
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.
And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
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.
and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making 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 unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 Toy izany izay mihary harena ho an’ ny tenany ihany, nefa tsy mba manan-karena ny amin’ Andriamanitra.
[So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards 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.
And he said unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
23 Fa ny aina mihoatra noho ny hanina, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana.
For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the 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 well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?
25 Ary iza moa ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro iainany, na dia kely monja aza?
And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
26 Koa raha ny kely indrindra aza tsy hainareo, nahoana ianareo no manahy ny amin’ ny sisa?
If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
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 well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was 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 God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?
29 Koa aza mitady izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo ianareo, ary aza miahanahana.
Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
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, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
31 Kanefa katsaho ny fanjakany; dia hanampy ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
32 Aza matahotra, ry ondry vitsy, fa efa sitraky ny Rainareo ny hanome anareo ny fanjakana.
Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth 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 your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
34 Fa izay itoeran’ ny harenareo, dia ho any koa ny fonareo.
For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
35 Aoka hisikina ny valahanareo sy hirehitra ny jironareo;
Let your loins 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.
And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto 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.
Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto 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, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, 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, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
40 Dia miomàna koa ianareo; fa ho avy ny Zanak’ olona amin’ izay ora tsy ampoizinareo.
Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
41 Ary hoy Petera: Tompoko, izahay va no ilazanao izany fanoharana izany, sa ny olona rehetra?
But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
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?
And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
43 Sambatra ny mpanompo Izay ho hitan’ ny tompony fa, indreo, manao toy izany, raha avy izy.
Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
44 Lazaiko aminareo marina fa hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.
Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
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 should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself 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.
The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
47 Fa ilay mpanompo izay mahalala ny sitrapon’ ny tompony ihany ka tsy miomana na manao izay sitraky ny fony dia hokapohina be.
And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall 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.
Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
49 Tonga hanipy afo etỳ ambonin’ ny tany Aho, ka manao ahoana ny faniriako mba hirehetan’ izany sahady?
Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
50 Ary manana batisa hanaovana Ahy batisa Aho, ka manao ahoana ny fahoriako ambara-pahatanterahany!
But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
51 Ataonareo va fa tonga hanome fihavanana ambonin’ ny tany Aho? Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo, fa fampisarahana.
Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, 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 there shall be, henceforth, 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.
There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the 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.
And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
55 Ary raha avy any atsimo ny rivotra, dia hoy ianareo: Hafana ny andro; dia tonga izany.
And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
56 Hianareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, ny tarehin’ ny tany sy ny lanitra dia hainareo fantarina; fa ahoana kosa no tsy ahaizanareo mamantatra izao andro izao?
Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
57 Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahalala mitsara araka ny marina?
Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?
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, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
59 Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
I tell thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
