Lioka 16
1 Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianatra: Nisy olona manan-karena anankiray nanana mpitandrina ny fananany; ary ilehiny dia nampangain’ olona taminy fa mandany ny fananany.
He said, likewise, to his disciples, A certain rich man had a steward, who was accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 Ary nampaka azy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana izao fandrenesako anao izao? Mamoaha ny amin’ ny fitandremanao ny fananako; fa tsy mahazo mitandrina ny fananako intsony ianao.
Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer.
3 Ary ilay mpitandrina ny fananana nanao anakampo hoe: Inona ange no hataoko, fa esorin’ ny tompoko amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananany aho? Ny miasa tany tsy tratry ny aiko; ny mangataka mahamenatra ahy.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg.
4 Fantatro izay hataoko, mba hisy handray ahy ho ao an-tranony, rehefa voaisotra amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananana aho.
I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses.
5 Dia niantso izay rehetra nitrosa tamin’ ny tompony izy hankao aminy ka nanao tamin’ ny voalohany hoe: Hoatrinona no trosan’ ny tompoko aminao?
Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master?
6 Ary hoy io: Diloilo injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao, ary mipetraha faingana, ka dimam-polo no soraty.
He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny anankiray koa: Hoatrinona kosa no trosa aminao? Ary hoy izy: Vary injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao ka valo-polo no soraty.
Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty.
8 Ary ny tompony nidera ilay mpitandrina tsy marina, satria nanan-tsaina izy; fa ny zanak’ izao tontolo izao dia manan-tsaina kokoa ny amin’ ny karazany noho ny zanaky ny mazava. (aiōn g165)
The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Ary hoy Izaho aminareo: Aoka ny mamôna tsy marina ho entinareo mahazo sakaiza, mba horaisin’ ireo ho any amin’ ny fonenana mandrakizay ianareo, rehefa lany izany. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore, I say to you, with the deceitful riches procure to yourself friends, who, after your discharge, may receive you into the eternal mansion. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ary izay mahatoky amin’ ny kely indrindra dia mahatoky koa amin’ ny be; ary izay tsy marina amin’ ny kely indrindra dia tsy marina koa amin’ ny be.
Whoso is faithful in little is faithful also in much: and whoso is unjust in little, is unjust also in much.
11 Koa raha tsy mahatoky amin’ ny mamôna tsy marina ianareo, iza no hatoky anareo ny amin’ ny tena harena?
If, therefore, you have not been honest in the deceitful, who will intrust you with the true riches?
12 Ary raha tsy mahatoky amin’ izay an’ olona ianareo, iza no hanome anareo izay anareo?
And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves?
13 Tsy misy mpanompo mahay manompo tompo roa; fa ny anankiray ho halany, ary anankiray ho tiany; na ny anankiray hombany, ary ny anankiray hohamavoiny. Tsy mahay manompo an’ Andriamanitra sy mamôna ianareo.
A servant can not serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other; or, at least, will attend one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
14 Ary ny Fariseo, izay fatra-pitia vola, raha nandre izany rehetra izay, dia naneso an’ i Jesosy.
When the Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things, they ridiculed him.
15 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Hianareo dia mpanamarin-tena eo anatrehan’ ny olona, nefa Andriamanitra mahalala ny fonareo; fa izay zavatra heverin’ ny olona ho ambony dia fahavetavetana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
But he said to them, As for you, you make yourselves pass upon men for righteous, but God knows your hearts; for that which is admired of men is abhorred of God.
16 Ny lalàna sy ny mpaminany dia hatramin’ i Jaona; ary hatramin’ izany no efa nitoriana ny filazantsaran’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary misesika izay rehetra miditra eo.
You had the law and the prophets till the coming of John, since whose time, the kingdom of God is announced, and every occupant enters it by force.
17 Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hahafoanan’ ny lanitra sy ny tany noho ny hahafoanan’ ny tendron-tsoratra iray monja aza amin’ ny lalàna.
But sooner shall heaven and earth perish, than one tittle of the law shall fail.
18 Izay rehetra misao-bady ka mampakatra ny hafa dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra vehivavy voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.
Whoever divorces his wife, and takes another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman, commits adultery.
19 Nisy lehilahy manan-karena anankiray niakanjo volomparasy sy rongony fotsy madinika sady nanaram-po fatratra isan’ andro tamin’ ny fahafinaretana.
There was a certain rich man, that wore purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day.
20 Ary nisy olo-malahelo ferena anankiray atao hoe Lazarosy napetraka teo anilan’ ny vavahadiny;
There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, that was laid at his gate,
21 ary naniry mba hihinana izay latsaka avy tamin’ ny latabatr’ ilay manan-karena izy, fa ny alika kosa no avy ka nilelaka ny feriny.
and who was desirous to feed on the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Ary maty ilay malahelo, dia nentin’ ny anjely ho any an-tratran’ i Abrahama; ary maty koa ilay manan-karena, dia nalevina;
It happened that the poor man died, and was conveyed by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 ary raha nijaly tao amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy ka niandrandra, dia nahita an’ i Abrahama teny lavitra eny sy Lazarosy teo an-tratrany. (Hadēs g86)
And in hades, being in torments, he looked up, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
24 Ary izy niantso ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama raiko ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka iraho Lazarosy mba hanoboka ny tendron’ ny rantsan-tanany amin’ ny rano mba hampangatsiaka ny lelako; fa fadiranovana aho eto anatin’ ity lelafo ity.
and cried, saying, Have pity on me, father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tortured in this flame.
25 Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka, tsarovy fa ianao efa nahazo ny zava-tsoanao tamin’ ny andro niainanao, ary Lazarosy kosa ny zava-dratsy; fa ankehitriny izy no ampifalinay atỳ, ary ianao kosa no fadiranovana.
Abraham answered, Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received good things, and Lazarus received evil things; but now he is in joy, and you are in torments.
26 Ary mihoatra noho izany rehetra izany, misy tevana makadiry ajadona ao anelanelantsika, mba tsy ho afa-mita hankeny aminareo izay te-hiala etỳ, ary ny ho afa-mita hanketỳ aminay izay eny.
Besides, there lies a huge gulf between us and you, so that they who would pass hence to you, can not: neither can they pass to us, who would come thence.
27 Dia hoy izy: Mangataka aminao ary aho, ry raiko: mba iraho Lazarosy hankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko
The other replied, I entreat you, then, father, to send him to my father's house;
28 (fa manana rahalahy dimy aho), mba hilaza tsara aminy, fandrao mba ho tongay amin’ ity fijaliana ity koa izy.
for I have five brothers, that he may admonish them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Manana an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy; aoka hihaino ireo izy.
Abraham answered, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsia, ry Abrahama, raiko; fa raha misy miala amin’ ny maty hankany aminy, dia hibebaka izy.
Nay, said he, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they would reform.
31 Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Raha tsy mihaino an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy, dia tsy hety hino izy, na dia misy mitsangana amin’ ny maty aza.
Abraham replied, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should arise from the dead.
