Lioka 13
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany nisy ny sasany teo izay nanambara tamin’ i Jesosy ny nanjo ny Galiliana, izay naharoharon’ i Pilato tamin’ ny fanatiny ny ràny.
It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices in the Temple.
2 Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ataonareo va fa ireny Galiliana ireny no mpanota mihoatra noho ny Galiliana rehetra, satria nozoin’ izany zavatra izany izy?
“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
3 Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo; fa raha tsy mibebaka ianareo, dia ho ringana tahaka azy koa ianareo rehetra.
“No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
4 Ary ireny valo ambin’ ny folo ireny, izay nianjeran’ ny tilikambo tao Siloama ka maty, ataonareo va fa mpanota mihoatra noho ny olona rehetra izay monina ao Jerosalema ireny?
What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of Jerusalem?
5 Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo; fa raha tsy mibebaka ianareo, dia ho ringana tahaka azy koa ianareo rehetra.
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.”
6 Ary nanao ity fanoharana ity Izy hoe: Nisy olona nanana aviavy nambolena teo an-tanim-boalobony; dia nankeo izy nitady voa taminy, fa tsy nahita.
Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't find any.
7 Ka dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpamboatra ny tanim-boaloboka; Indro, efa telo taona izay aho no tonga nitady voa tamin’ ity aviavy ity, fa tsy nahita; kapao io; nahoana io no manimba ny tany?
So he told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
8 Fa ny mpamboatra namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, avelao ihany izy amin’ ity taona ity mandra-pihadiko manodidina azy, ka hasiako zezika;
‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
9 angamba mbola hamoa izy; fa raha tsy izany, dia hokapainao ihany.
If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
10 Ary nampianatra tao amin’ ny synagoga anankiray Jesosy tamin’ ny Sabata.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
11 Ary, indro, nisy vehivavy izay nanana fanahy mahafarofy valo ambin’ ny folo taona, ary nanjoko izy ka tsy nahatraka akory.
and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand straight.
12 Ary rehefa nahita azy Jesosy, dia niantso azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravehivavy, afaka amin’ ny rofinao ianao.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
13 Dia nametraka ny tànany taminy Izy; ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nitraka ravehivavy sady nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra.
Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up, and she praised God.
14 Ary ny mpanapaka ny synagoga dia tezitra, satria Jesosy nahasitrana tamin’ ny Sabata, dia namaly ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka hoe: Henemana no azo anaovan-draharaha; koa avia hositranina amin’ izany, fa tsy amin’ ny andro Sabata.
However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 Fa namaly azy ny Tompo ka nanao hoe: Ry mpihatsaravelatsihy, moa tsy samy mamaha ny ombiny na ny borikiny hiala amin’ ny fihinanam-bilona amin’ ny Sabata va ianareo ka mitondra azy hisotro rano?
But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
16 Koa ity vehivavy zanak’ i Abrahama ity, izay efa nafatotr’ i Satana izao valo ambin’ ny folo taona izao, moa tsy tokony hovahana ho afaka amin’ izany fatorana izany amin’ ny andro Sabata va?
Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this Sabbath day?”
17 Ary raha nilaza izany Izy, dia nangaihay izay rehetra nanohitra Azy; fa ny vahoaka rehetra nifaly noho ny zavatra malaza rehetra nataony.
What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Dia hoy Jesosy: Tahaka ny inona ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra? ary inona no hanoharako azy?
Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
19 Tahaka ny voan-tsinapy izy, izay nalain’ olona ka namboleny tao an-tanimboly, ary naniry ka tonga haro; ary ny voro-manidina nitoetra tao amin’ ny rantsany.
It's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
20 Ary hoy koa Jesosy: Inona no hanoharako ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra?
He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
21 Tahaka ny masirasira izy, izay nalain’ ny vehivavy anankiray ka nataony tao amin’ ny koba intelon’ ny famarana, mandra-pahazon’ ny masirasira azy rehetra.
It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
22 Ary Jesosy nandeha nitety ny tanàna sy ny vohitra nampianatra sady nandroso hankany Jerosalema.
Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
23 Dia hoy ny anankiray taminy; Tompoko, moa vitsy va no hovonjena? Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny olona:
Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
24 Miseseha hiditra amin’ ny varavarana etỳ ianareo; fa hoy Izaho aminareo: Maro no hitady hiditra, fa tsy ho afaka.
“Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
25 Rehefa mitsangana ny tompon-trano ka manidy ny varavarana, ary ianareo mijanona eo ala-trano mandondòna ny varavarana ka manao hoe: Tompoko, vohay izahay, dia hamaly Izy ka hanao aminareo hoe: Tsy fantatro na avy taiza na avy taiza ianareo;
Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
26 ary amin’ izay ianareo dia hanao hoe: Nihinana sy nisotro teo anatrehanao izahay, ary nampianatra teny an-dalambenay Hianao.
Then you'll say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets!’
27 Fa Izy hiteny hoe: Lazaiko aminareo: Tsy fantatro na avy taiza na avy taiza ianareo; mialà amiko, ianareo rehetra mpanao meloka.
He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
28 Any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify, raha mahita an’ i Abrahama sy Isaka sy Jakoba ary ny mpaminany rehetra eo amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra ianareo, fa ny tenanareo kosa dia voaroaka any ivelany.
There will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
29 Ary ho tonga avy any atsinanana sy avy any andrefana ary avy any avaratra sy avy any atsimo ireny ka hipetraka hihinana eo amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.
30 Ary, indro, misy ny aoriana ho aloha, ary misy ny aloha ho aoriana.
For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
31 Tamin’ izany ora izany indrindra dia nisy Fariseo sasany nankeo amin’ i Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana Hianao, ka mialà eto; fa ta-hamono Anao Heroda.
At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. Herod wants to kill you!”
32 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Mandehana, lazao amin’ izany amboahaolo izany hoe: Indro, mamoaka demonia sy mahasitrana Aho anio sy ampitso, ary raha afaka ampitso dia hotanterahina ny amiko.
Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
33 Kanefa tsy maintsy mandeha ihany Aho anio sy ampitso sy raha afaka ampitso; fa ny mpaminany tsy azo vonoina, raha tsy any Jerosalema.
Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem!
34 Ry Jerosalema, ry Jerosalema, izay mamono ny mpaminany sy mitora-bato izay nirahina any aminao, impiry Aho no ta-hanangona ny zanakao tahaka ny fanomban’ ny akoho ny zanany ao ambanin’ ny elany, fa tsy nety ianareo!
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
35 Indro, avela ho anareo ny tranonareo! ary lazaiko aminareo: Tsy hahita Ahy intsony ianareo mandra-pilazanareo hoe: Isaorana anie Izay avy amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
Look, your house is left desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
