Matio 13
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nivoaka avy tao an-trano Jesosy ka nipetraka teo amoron’ ny ranomasina.
That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,
2 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka tafangona teo aminy, dia niditra teo an-tsambokely Izy ka nipetraka; ary ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia teny amoron-dranomasina.
when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Ary nilaza zavatra maro taminy tamin’ ny fanoharana Izy ka nanao hoe: Indro, nivoaka ny mpamafy mba hamafy;
He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.
4 ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana; dia avy ny vorona ka nandany azy.
As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
5 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy; dia nalaky nitrebona ireny, satria tsy nisy tany lalina.
Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
6 Fa rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nalazo ireny, ary satria tsy nanam-paka, dia maty izy.
but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.
7 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo naniry ka nangeja azy.
Some falls among the thorns; but the thorns spring up and stifle it.
8 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, dia namoa: ny sasany avy zato heny, ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy telo-polo heny.
But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino.
Listen, every one who has ears!"
10 Ary dia nanatona ny mpianany ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no fanoharana no itenenanao aminy?
(And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"
11 Ary namaly Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Satria ianareo no navela hahalala ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra, fa ireny kosa tsy mba navela.
"Because," He replied, "while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.
12 Fa izay manana no homena, ka hanana be dia be izy; fa izay tsy manana kosa, na izay ananany aza dia hesorina aminy.
For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.
13 Ary noho izany dia fanoharana no itenenako aminy: satria mijery izy, fa tsy mahita; ary mandre izy, fa tsy mihaino, na mahalala.
I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.
14 Dia tanteraka aminy ny faminanian’ Isaia, izay manao hoe: Handre mandrakariva ihany ianareo, fa tsy hahafantatra: Ary hijery mandrakariva ihany ianareo, fa tsy hahita;
And in regard to them the prophecy of Isaiah is receiving signal fulfilment: "'You will hear and hear and by no means understand, and you will look and look and by no means see.
15 Fa efa adala ny fon’ izao olona izao. Ary efa lalodalovana ny sofiny, Ary efa nakimpiny ny masony, Fandrao hahita ny masony, Sy handre ny sofiny, Ka hahalala ny fony, Dia hibebaka izy, Ka hahasitrana azy Aho.
For this people's mind is stupefied, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might heal them.'
16 Fa sambatra ny masonareo, fa mahita, ary ny sofinareo, fa mandre.
"But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
17 Fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa maro ny mpaminany sy ny olona marina naniry hahita izay hitanareo, nefa tsy mba nahita; ary naniry handre izay renareo, nefa tsy mba nandre.
For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.
18 Koa amin’ izany dia henoinareo ny fanoharana ny amin’ ny mpamafy:
"To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.
19 Raha misy mandre ny tenin’ ny fanjakana, fa tsy mahalala, dia avy ilay ratsy ka manaisotra izay nafafy tao am-pony. Dia izany no ilay nafafy teny amoron-dalana.
When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.
20 Fa ilay nafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy dia izay mandre ny teny ka malaky mandray azy amin’ ny hafaliana;
He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.
21 nefa tsy manam-paka ao anatiny izy, fa maharitra vetivety foana; koa raha avy izay fahoriana na fanenjehana noho ny teny, dia malaky tafintohina izy.
It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.
22 Ary ilay nafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo dia izay mandre ny teny ary ny fiahiahiana izao fiainana izao sy ny fitaky ny harena mangeja ny teny, ka dia tsy mamoa izy. (aiōn g165)
He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Fa ilay nafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara kosa dia izay mandre ny teny ka mahalala; dia izy no mamoa ka vokatra: ny sasany avy zato heny ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy telo-polo heny.
But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.")
24 Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny lehilahy anankiray izay namafy voa tsara tany an-tanimbariny;
Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,
25 fa raha natory ny olona, dia avy ny fahavalony ka namafy voan-tsimparifary teny amin’ ny vary, dia lasa nandeha.
but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.
26 Ary rehefa naniry ny vary ka niteraka dia niposaka koa ny tsimparifary.
But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.
27 Dia avy ny mpanompon-dralehilahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, tsy voa tsara va no nafafinao tany an-tanimbarinao? koa avy taiza kosa ny tsimparifary? Dia hoy izy taminy:
"So the farmer's men come and ask him, "'Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'
28 Fahavalo no nanao izany. Ary ny mpanompony nanao taminy hoe: Koa tianao va handehananay hanongotra sy hanangona azy?
"'Some enemy has done this,' he said. "'Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.
29 Fa hoy izy: Tsia, fandrao, raha manongotra ny tsimparifary ianareo, dia hongotanareo miaraka aminy koa ny vary.
"'No,' he replied, 'for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.
30 Aoka ihany hiara-maniry izy roroa ambara-pihavin’ ny fararano; ary amin’ ny fararano dia holazaiko amin’ ny mpijinja hoe: Angony aloha ny tsimparifary, ka ataovy amboarany mba hodorana; fa ny vary dia taomy ho any an-tsompitro.
Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"
31 Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny voan-tsinapy izay nalain’ olona ka nafafiny tany an-tsahany;
Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.
32 fa kely noho ny voa rehetra izy, kanefa rehefa maniry, dia lehibe noho ny anana ka tonga hazo, dia avy ny voro-manidina ka mitoetra ao amin’ ny rantsany.
It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches."
33 Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy hoe: Ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny masirasira, izay nalain’ ny vehivavy anankiray ka nataony tao amin’ ny koba intelon’ ny famarana, mandra-pahazon’ ny masirasira azy rehetra.
Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."
34 Fanoharana no nilazan’ i Jesosy izany zavatra rehetra izany tamin’ ny vahoaka, ary tsy nisy nolazainy taminy, afa-tsy tamin’ ny fanoharana,
All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them,
35 mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe: Hiloa-bava hilaza fanoharana Aho; Hanambara zavatra izay nafenina hatrizay nanorenana izao tontolo izao Aho.
in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."
36 Ary rehefa nampody ny vahoaka Jesosy, dia niditra tao an-trano Izy, ary ny mpianany nankao aminy ka nanao hoe: Lazao aminay ny hevitry ny fanoharana ny amin’ ny tsimparifary tany an-tanimbary.
When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."
37 Ary namaly Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny mpamafy ny voa tsara dia ny Zanak’ olona;
"The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
38 ny tanimbary dia izao tontolo izao; ny voa tsara dia ny zanaky ny fanjakana; ny tsimparifary dia ny zanak’ ilay ratsy;
the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
39 ny fahavalo izay namafy izany dia ny devoly; ny fararano dia ny fahataperan’ izao tontolo izao; ary ny mpijinja dia anjely. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sows the darnel is the Devil; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Koa tahaka ny anangonana ny tsimparifary sy andoroana azy amin’ ny afo, dia toy izany no hatao amin’ ny fahataperan’ izao tontolo izao. (aiōn g165)
As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age. (aiōn g165)
41 Ny Zanak’ olona haniraka ny anjeliny, ary ireny dia hanangona ka hamoaka amin’ ny fanjakany ny zavatra mahatafintohina rehetra mbamin’ izay manao meloka,
The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
42 dia hanipy azy any amin’ ny fandoroana lehibe mirehitra afo izy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.
and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Ary amin’ izany ny marina dia hamirapiratra tahaka ny masoandro any amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Rainy. Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino.
Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
44 Ary ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny harena nafenina tany an-tsaha, izay hitan’ olona, ka dia nafeniny; ary noho ny hafaliany dia lasa nandeha izy ka nivarotra ny fananany rehetra, dia nividy izany saha izany.
"The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.
45 Ary koa, ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny mpandranto anankiray izay nikatsaka vato soa;
"Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls.
46 ary rehefa nahita vato soa iray saro-bidy izy, dia lasa nivarotra ny fananany rehetra ka nividy azy.
He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it.
47 Ary koa, ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny harato-tarihina, izay nalatsaka tao amin’ ny ranomasina ka nahavory ny samy hafa karazana rehetra;
"Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
48 ary rehefa feno izany, dia notarihiny ho eny an-tanety, dia nipetraka ny olona ka nifantina ny tsara hataony ao an-karona, fa ny ratsy nariany.
When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
49 Dia tahaka izany no hatao amin’ ny fahataperan’ izao tontolo izao; hivoaka ny anjely ka hanavaka ny ratsy fanahy hisaraka amin’ ny marina, (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 dia hatsipiny any amin’ ny fandoroana lehibe mirehitra afo izy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.
and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
51 Efa azonareo va izany rehetra izany? Hoy ireo taminy: Eny.
"Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.
52 Dia hoy Izy taminy: Koa amin’ izany ary ny mpanora-dalàna rehetra izay nampianarina ho amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia samy tahaka ny tompon-trano, izay mamoaka avy amin’ ny firaketany zava-baovao sy ela.
"Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."
53 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Jesosy ireo fanoharana ireo, dia niala teo Izy.
Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
54 Ary nony tonga tany amin’ ny taniny Izy, dia nampianatra ny olona tao amin’ ny synagoga, ary talanjona ny olona ka nanao hoe: Avy taiza re no nahazoan’ ilehity izany fahendrena sy asa lehibe izany?
And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?
55 Tsy Ilehity va ilay Zanaky ny mpandrafitra? Tsy Maria va no anaran’ ny reniny? Ary tsy Jakoba sy Josefa sy Simona ary Jodasy va no rahalahiny?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
56 Ary ny anabaviny, moa tsy eto amintsika avokoa va izy? Koa avy taiza no nahazoan’ ilehity izany zavatra rehetra izany?
And his sisters--are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?"
57 Ary tafintohina taminy izy. Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy mpaminany tsy hajaina, afa-tsy amin’ ny taniny sy ny mpianakaviny ihany.
So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, "There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family."
58 Ary tsy nanao asa lehibe maro teo Izy noho ny tsi-finoan’ ireo.
And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their want of faith.
