Marka 10
1 Ary niainga niala teo Jesosy, dia tonga tany amin’ ny sisin-tanin’ i Jodia sy tany an-dafin’ i Jordana; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka indray niangona teo aminy; koa araka ny fanaony dia nampianatra azy indray Izy.
Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
2 Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Ary, dia naka fanahy Azy ka nanontany hoe: Mahazo misao-bady va ny lehilahy?
[While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
3 Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no nandidian’ i Mosesy anareo?
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Ary hoy izy: Navelan’ i Mosesy hanoratra taratasy fisaoram-bady ny lehilahy ka hisao-bady.
[One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
5 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin’ ny fonareo no nanoratany izany didy izany ho anareo;
Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
6 fa hatramin’ ny fony vao nanaovana izao tontolo izao dia lahy sy vavy no nanaovany ny olona.
[Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
7 Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin’ ny vadiny;
That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 ary ho nofo iray izy roroa; ka dia tsy ho roa intsony izy, fa ho nofo iray ihany.
Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
9 Koa izay nakamban’ Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin’ olona.
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
10 Ary nony mby tao an-trano, dia nanontany ny amin’ izany koa ny mpianatra.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Ary hoy izy taminy: Na zovy na zovy no misao-bady ka mampakatra vehivavy hafa, dia mijangajanga ka manala-baraka ny vadiny.
He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
12 Ary raha ravehivavy kosa no misaotra ny lahy ka manambady olon-kafa, dia mijangajanga izy.
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Ary nisy nitondra zazakely ho eo aminy mba hametrahany tanana; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.
[One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
14 Nefa tezitra Jesosy, raha nahita izany, ka hoy Izy taminy: Avelao ny zaza hanatona Ahy, ary aza raràna; fa an’ ny toa azy ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
15 Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no tsy handray ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra tahaka ny zaza, dia tsy ho tafiditra aminy akory.
Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
16 Ary nitrotro azy Izy, dia nametra-tanana taminy ka nitso-drano azy.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Ary nony vao nivoaka nankeny an-dalana Jesosy, dia nisy olona anankiray nihazakazaka nanatona ka nandohalika teo anatrehany ary nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao hoe tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.
Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 Fantatrao ny didy hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga, Aza manambaka, Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao.
[But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
20 Ary hoy izy taminy Mpampianatra ô, izany rehetra izany efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.
The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
21 Ary Jesosy nijery azy tsara, dia tia azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Diso zavatra iray loha ianao; mandehana, amidio izay rehetra anananao ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
22 Dia nanjombona terỳ ny tarehiny tamin’ izany teny izany, ka niala tamin’ alahelo izy, satria nanana harena be.
The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
23 Ary Jesosy nijery manodidina ka nanao tamin’ ny mpianany hoe: Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Ary ny mpianatra dia gaga tamin’ ny teniny. Fa Jesosy namaly indray ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran’ ny matoky ny harena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
25 Moramora kokoa ny hidiran’ ny rameva amin’ ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Dia talanjona indrindra izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 Fa Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Raha amin’ ny olona, dia zavatra tsy hainy izany; fa tsy mba tahaka izany amin’ Andriamanitra; fa ny zavatra rehetra dia hain’ Andriamanitra.
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 Ary hoy Petera taminy: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao.
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 Hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy olona efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na reny, na ray, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny amiko sy ny filazantsara,
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 ka tsy handray zato heny amin’ izao andro ankehitriny izao-dia trano sy rahalahy sy anabavy sy reny sy zanaka sy tany mbamin’ ny fanenjehana-ary amin’ ny andro ho avy dia fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Ary Jesosy sy ny mpianany dia teny an-dalana niakatra ho any Jerosalema, ary Jesosy nandeha eo alohany; dia gaga ny mpianany, ary izay nanaraka Azy dia natahotra. Ary naka ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy indray Izy, dia nilaza taminy izay efa hanjo Azy
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
33 ka nanao hoe: Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika; ary ny Zanak’ olona hatolotra ho amin’ ireo lohan’ ny mpisorona sy mpanora-dalàna; ary hohelohiny ho faty Izy ka hatolony amin’ ny jentilisa;
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 ary hanao Azy ho fihomehezana ireny sy handrora Azy sy hikapoka Azy ary hahafaty Azy; fa rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana indray Izy.
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 Ary Jakoba sy Jaona, zanak’ i Zebedio, nanatona an’ i Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, tianay mba hataonao aminay izay angatahinay aminao.
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Inona moa no tianareo hataoko aminareo?
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Mba ekeo ny hipetrahanay, ny anankiray ho eo amin’ ny ankavananao, ary ny anankiray ho eo amin’ ny an-kavianao, any amin’ ny voninahitrao.
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy fantatrareo izay angatahinareo; hainareo va ny hisotro amin’ ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, na ny hatao batisa amin’ ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa?
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Hainay ihany. Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, dia hosotroinareo ihany, ary ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa dia hanaovana anareo ihany;
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 fa ny hipetraka eo an-tanako ankavanana na eo an-tanako ankavia kosa, dia tsy Ahy ny hanome izany, fa izay nanamboarana izany no homena.
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Ary nony nandre izany izy folo lahy, dia tezitra noho ny nataon’ i Jakoba sy Jaona izy.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 Fa Jesosy niantso azy hanatona Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrareo fa izay eken’ ny jentilisa ho mpanapaka dia mampanompo azy, ary ny lehibeny dia mifehy azy.
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Fa tsy mba toy izany aminareo; fa na iza na iza no te-ho lehibe eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompo anareo izy.
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 Ary na iza na iza no te-ho ambony eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompon’ izy rehetra.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Fa ny Zanak’ olona tsy tonga mba hotompoina, fa mba hanompo ka hanolotra ny ainy ho avotra hisolo ny maro.
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Ary tonga tao Jeriko izy; ary raha vao niala tao Jeriko Jesosy mbamin’ ny mpianany sy ny vahoaka betsaka, dia nipetraka teo amoron-dalana Bartimeo jamba mpangataka, zanak’ i Timeo.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Ary nony reny fa, injay! Jesosy avy any Nazareta, dia niantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko!
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Ary maro no niteny mafy azy mba hangina; fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nanao hoe: Antsoy ilay jamba. Ary ny olona niantso azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Matokia, mitsangàna, miantso anao Izy.
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 Dia nanary ny lambany izy ka niantsambotra nankeo amin’ i Jesosy.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Inona no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy ilay jamba taminy: Rabôny ô, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ny finoanao no efa namonjy anao. Dia nahiratra niaraka tamin’ izay ny masony, ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy teny an-dalana izy.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
