< Matio 16 >

1 Ary ny Fariseo sy ny Sadoseo nankeo aminy, dia naka fanahy Azy ka nangataka Azy haneho famantarana aminy avy any an-danitra.
And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Nony hariva, dia hoy ianareo: Ho tsara ny andro, fa mena ny lanitra.
But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’
3 Ary nony maraina, dia hoy ianareo: Ho ratsy ny andro, fa mena sy manjombona ny lanitra. Fantatrareo ny hamantatra ny tarehin’ ny lanitra, fa ny famantarana ny fotoana dia tsy hainareo.
and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?
4 Izay taranaka ratsy fanahy sy mijangajanga dia fatra-pitady famantarana; nefa tsy misy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy ny famantarana ny amin’ i Jona ihany. Ary nandao azy Jesosy ka lasa.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
5 Ary rehefa tonga teny am-pita ny mpianatra, dia nanadino hitondra mofo izy.
And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.
6 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mihevera, ka mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon’ ny masirasiran’ ny Fariseo sy ny Sadoseo.
And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 Dia niara-nisaina izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tsy nitondrantsika mofo angaha izany.
But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought bread.”
8 Ary Jesosy nahalala izany, dia nanao hoe: Nahoana ianareo, ry kely finoana, no miara-misaina satria tsy manana mofo?
Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?
9 Tsy mbola mahafantatra va ianareo, ary tsy tsaroanareo va ny mofo dimy ho an’ ny dimy arivo, ka firy harona moa no nangoninareo?
Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?
10 na ny mofo fito ho an’ ny efatra arivo, ka firy sobiky moa no nangoninareo?
Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Ahoana no tsy ahafantaranareo fa tsy ny amin’ ny mofo no nolazaiko taminareo? Fa tandremo, fandrao azon’ ny masirasiran’ ny Fariseo sy ny Sadoseo.
Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?”
12 Dia fantany fa tsy nasainy hitandrina izy, fandrao azo’ ny masirasira fanaovana mofo, fa andrao azon’ ny fampianaran’ ny Fariseo sy ny Sadoseo.
Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
13 Ary rehefa tonga tany amin’ ny faritanin’ i Kaisaria-filipo Jesosy, dia nanontany ny mpianany Izy ka nanao hoe: Ataon’ ny olona ho iza moa ny Zanak’ olona?
Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”
14 Dia hoy ireo: Hoy ny sasany: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; ary hoy ny sasany: Elia; ary hoy ny sasany: Jeremia, na anankiray amin’ ny mpaminany.
And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza?
Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Ary namaly Simona Petera ka nanao hoe: Hianao no Kristy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra velona.
Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Sambatra ianao, ry Simona Bar-jona; fa tsy nofo aman-drà no naneho anao izany, fa ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra.
And in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
18 Ary Izaho milaza aminao koa: Hianao no Petera, ary ambonin’ ity vatolampy ity no haoriko ny fiangonako; ary ny vavahadin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy haharesy azy. (Hadēs g86)
And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Homeko anao ny fanalahidin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra; ka na inona na inona fehezinao eto ambonin’ ny tany dia hofehezina any an-danitra; ary na inona na inona vahanao etỳ ambonin’ ny tany dia hovahana any an-danitra.
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.”
20 Ary tamin’ izany dia nandrara ny mpianatra Izy mba tsy hilaza amin’ olona akory fa Izy no Kristy.
Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
21 Hatramin’ izany no vao natoron’ i Jesosy ny mpianany fa tsy maintsy hankany Jerosalema Izy ka hampijalin’ ny loholona sy ny lohan’ ny mpisorona ary ny mpanora-dalàna, dia hovonoina, ary hatsangana amin’ ny andro fahatelo.
From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.
22 Ary Petera nanohina Azy hitanila kely ka niteny mafy Azy hoe: Sanatria aminao izany, Tompoko! Tsy ho aminao tokoa izany!
And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”
23 Fa Izy nihodina ka niteny tamin’ i Petera hoe: Mankanesa ato ivohoko, ry Satana; fahatafintohinana amiko ianao, satria tsy misaina izay an’ Andriamanitra ianao, fa izay an’ ny olona.
And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”
24 Dia hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Raha misy olona ta-hanaraka Ahy, aoka izy handà ny tenany sy hitondra ny hazo fijaliany ka hanaraka Ahy.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy, dia hahavery azy; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko, dia hahazo izany.
For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 Fa inona moa no soa ho azon’ ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao, kanefa very ny ainy? Ary inona no homen’ ny olona ho takalon’ ny ainy?
For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 Fa ho avy ny Zanak’ olona amin’ ny voninahitry ny Rainy, mbamin’ ny anjeliny, dia hamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny nataony.
For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
28 Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Misy ny sasany eto izay tsy mba hanandrana fahafatesana mandra-pahitany ny Zanak’ olona avy amin’ ny fanjakany.
Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
