Matio 11
1 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Jesosy ny nandidiany ny mpianany roa ambin’ ny folo lahy, dia niala teo Izy hampianatra sy hitoriteny any an-tanànan’ ny olona.
And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Ary rehefa ren’ i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina ny asa nataon’ i Kristy, dia naniraka ny mpianany izy
Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 hanao aminy hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?
he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
4 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ianareo, ka ambarao amin’ i Jaona izao renareo sy hitanareo izao:
And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:
5 Mahiratra ny jamba, ary afaka ny mandringa; diovina ny boka, ary malady ny marenina; atsangana ny maty, ary ny malahelo dia itoriana ny filazantsara.
the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news.
6 Ary sambatra izay tsy ho tafintohina noho ny amiko.
And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.
7 Ary nony lasa ireny, dia vao nilaza an’ i Jaona tamin’ ny vahoaka Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Hizaha inona no nivoahanareo nankany an-efitra? Volotara nohozongozonin’ ny rivotra va?
And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 Sa hizaha inona no nivoahanareo? Olona mitafy soa va? Indro, ny mitafy soa dia ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.
9 Sa hizaha inona no nivoahanareo? Mpaminany va? Eny, hoy Izaho aminareo, sady mihoatra lavitra noho ny mpaminany izy.
But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Izy no ilay voasoratra hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao eo alohanao.
For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.
11 Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Amin’ izay nateraky ny vehivavy tsy mbola nisy nitsangana izay lehibe noho Jaona Mpanao-batisa; nefa ny kely indrindra amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia lehibe noho izy.
Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Ary hatramin’ ny andron’ i Jaona Mpanao-batisa ka mandraka ankehitriny ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia rombahina, ary ny mpandrombaka maka azy an-keriny.
And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.
13 Fa ny mpaminany rehetra sy ny lalàna dia naminany hatramin’ i Jaona.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Ary raha mety mandray ianareo, dia izy no ilay Elia izay ho avy.
And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.
15 Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Fa tahaka ny inona no hanoharako ity taranaka ity? Tahaka ny ankizy madinika mipetraka eny an-tsena izy, izay miantso ny namany ka manao hoe:
But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,
17 Efa nitsoka sodina taminareo izahay, nefa tsy nandihy ianareo, efa nanao feo fisaonana izahay, nefa tsy niteha-tratra ianareo.
and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.
18 Fa tonga Jaona tsy nihinana na nisotro, ka hoy ny olona: Manana demonia izy.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
19 Tonga ny Zanak’ olona mihinana sy misotro kosa, ka hoy ny olona: Indro, olona fatra-pitia hanina sy mpisotro divay, sakaizan’ ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota. Fa ny fahendrena dia hamarinin ny asany.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
20 Ary tamin’ izany dia vao niteny mafy ny tanàna izay nanaovany ny ankamaroan’ ny asany lehibe Izy, satria tsy nibebaka ireo, ka nanao hoe:
Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.
21 Lozanao, ry Korazina! Lozanao, ry Betsaida! fa raha mba tany Tyro sy Sidona no natao ny asa lehibe izay natao teo aminareo, dia ho efa nibebaka ela tamin’ ny lamba fisaonana sy ny lavenona ireny.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Fa lazaiko aminareo fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin’ i Tyro sy Sidona amin’ ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho aminareo.
Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
23 Ary ianao, ry Kapernaomy, hasandratra hatrany an-danitra va ianao? Hietry hatrany amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ianao; fa raha mba tany Sodoma no natao ny asa lehibe izay natao teo aminao, dia ho naharitra ambaraka androany izy. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Fa lazaiko aminareo fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin’ ny tany Sodoma amin’ ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho aminao.
Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Tamin’ izany andro izany dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Midera Anao Aho, Raiko, Tompon’ ny lanitra sy ny tany, fa nafeninao tamin’ ny hendry sy ny manan-tsaina izany zavatra izany ka nasehonao tamin’ ny zaza madinika.
Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.
26 Eny, Raiko; fa izany no sitraponao.
Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.
27 Ny zavatra rehetra natolotry ny Raiko Ahy; ary tsy misy mahalala tsara ny Zanaka, afa-tsy ny Ray; ary tsy misy mahalala tsara ny Ray, afa-tsy Zanaka sy izay tian’ ny Zanaka hanehoana Azy.
All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
28 Mankanesa atỳ amiko, ianareo rehetra izay miasa fatratra sy mavesatra entana, fa Izaho no hanome anareo fitsaharana.
Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Ento ny ziogako, ka mianara amiko; fa malemy fanahy sady tsy miavona am-po Aho; dia hahita fitsaharana ho an’ ny fanahinareo ianareo.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls.
30 Fa mora ny ziogako, ary maivana ny entako.
For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.
