Matio 19
1 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Jesosy izany teny izany, dia niala tany Galilia Izy ka nihazo ny lalana teny an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia tonga tany amin’ ny sisin’ i Jodia.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.
2 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy, dia nahasitrana azy teo Izy.
And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.
3 Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Azy, dia naka fanahy Azy hoe: Mahazo misaotra ny vadiny va ny lehilahy noho izay rehetra entiny iampangany azy na inona na inona?
And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny, fa Izay nahary azy tamin’ ny voalohany dia nahary azy ho lahy sy vavy, ka dia nanao hoe:
He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,
5 Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin’ ny vadiny; ary dia ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa?
and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 ka dia tsy roa intsony izy, fa nofo iray ihany. Koa amin’ izany, izay nampiraisin’ Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin’ olona.
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Hoy ireo taminy: Nahoana ary Mosesy no nandidy hanome taratasy fisaoram-bady sy hisaotra azy?
They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away?
8 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin’ ny fonareo no namelan’ i Mosesy anareo hisao-bady; fa tamin’ ny voalohany dia tsy mba toy izany.
He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no misaotra ny vadiny, afa-tsy noho ny fijangajangana ihany, ka mampakatra ny hafa, dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra ny voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.
But I say to you, That whoever puts away his wife, unless for lewdness, and marries another, commits adultery; and he that marries her that is put away, commits adultery.
10 Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raha izany no toetry ny lehilahy amin’ ny vadiny, dia aleo tsy manambady.
His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.
11 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy ny olona rehetra no mahay mandray izany teny izany, fa izay nomena ihany;
But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given.
12 fa misy ionoka, izay teraka ionoka hatrany an-kibon-dreniny; ary misy ionoka, izay nataon’ ny olona ionoka; ary misy ionoka, izay nanao ny tenany ionoka noho ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra. Aoka handray izany izay mahay mandray.
For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.
13 Ary tamin’ izany dia nisy zazakely nentina teo amin’ i Jesosy mba hametrahany ny tànany sy hivavahany ho azy; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.
Then little children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14 Nefa Jesosy kosa nanao hoe: Avelao ny zaza, ary aza raràna tsy hanatona Ahy; fa an’ ny toa azy ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
But Jesus said: Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Ary nony nametraka ny tànany taminy Izy, dia niala teo.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed from that place.
16 Ary, indro, nisy anankiray nanatona Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no tsara hataoko hahazoako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him: (aiōnios g166)
17 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no anontanianao ny amin’ izay tsara? Iray no tsara; fa raha te-hiditra any amin’ ny fiainana ianao, tandremo ny didy.
Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Hoy ralehilahy taminy: Inona avy moa? Dia hoy Jesosy: Ny hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga,
He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;
19 Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao, ary: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao.
Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
20 Hoy ilay zatovo taminy: Izany rehetra izany efa voatandriko avokoa; fa inona no tsy mbola mahatanteraka ahy?
The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?
21 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha tia ho tanteraka ianao, mandehana, amidio ny fanananao, ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.
Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 Fa nony nandre izany teny izany ilay zatovo, dia niala tamin’ alahelo izy, satria nanana fananana be.
When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved; for he had great possessions.
23 Dia hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa sarotra ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, A rich man will with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Ary hoy Izaho aminareo indray: Ho moramora kokoa ny hidiran’ ny rameva amin’ ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?
When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved?
26 Ary Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hain’ ny olona izany, fa hain’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra rehetra.
But Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.
27 Dia namaly Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao; koa inona ary no ho azonay?
Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?
28 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa rehefa mby amin’ ny fanavaozana, ka hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny voninahiny ny Zanak’ olona, ianareo koa, izay nanaraka Ahy, dia hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianana roa ambin’ ny folo ka hitsara ny firenen’ isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo.
Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, That, in the restoration, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Ary izay rehetra efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na ray, na reny, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny anarako, dia handray zato heny ka handova fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
