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 happened that, when Jesus had completed these words, he moved away from Galilee, and he arrived within the borders of Judea, across the Jordan.
2 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy, dia nahasitrana azy teo Izy.
And great crowds followed him, and he healed 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 approached him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the 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:
And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said:
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?
“For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.
6 ka dia tsy roa intsony izy, fa nofo iray ihany. Koa amin’ izany, izay nampiraisin’ Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin’ olona.
And so, now they are not two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
7 Hoy ireo taminy: Nahoana ary Mosesy no nandidy hanome taratasy fisaoram-bady sy hisaotra azy?
They said to him, “Then why did Moses command him to give a bill of divorce, and to separate?”
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: “Although Moses permitted you to separate from your wives, due to the hardness of your heart, it was not that way from the beginning.
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.
And I say to you, that whoever will have separated from his wife, except because of fornication, and who will have married another, commits adultery, and whoever will have married her who has been separated, 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 such is the case for a man with a wife, then it is not expedient to marry.”
11 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy ny olona rehetra no mahay mandray izany teny izany, fa izay nomena ihany;
And he said to them: “Not everyone is able to grasp this word, but only those to whom it has been 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 chaste persons who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are chaste persons who have been made so by men, and there are chaste persons who have made themselves chaste for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to grasp this, let him grasp 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 they brought to him little children, so that he would place his hands upon them and pray. But 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.
Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”
15 Ary nony nametraka ny tànany taminy Izy, dia niala teo.
And when he had imposed his hands upon them, he went away from there.
16 Ary, indro, nisy anankiray nanatona Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no tsara hataoko hahazoako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, someone approached and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good should I do, so that I may have eternal life?” (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.
And he said to him: “Why do you question me about what is good? One is good: God. But if you wish to enter into life, observe 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?” And Jesus said: “You shall not murder. 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 I have kept from my childhood. What is still lacking for me?”
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 are willing to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and then you will 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.
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23 Dia hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa sarotra ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, that the wealthy shall enter with difficulty 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
25 Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?
And upon hearing this, the disciples wondered greatly, saying: “Then who will be able to be saved?”
26 Ary Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hain’ ny olona izany, fa hain’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra rehetra.
But Jesus, gazing at them, 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 responded by saying to him: “Behold, we have left behind all things, and we have followed you. So then, what will be for us?”
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.
And Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that at the resurrection, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, those of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve seats, 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 anyone who has left behind home, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for the sake of my name, shall receive one hundred times more, and shall possess eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.
But many of those who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
