< Matio 5 >
1 Ary Jesosy, nony nahita ny vahoaka, dia niakatra teo an-tendrombohitra; ary rehefa tafapetraka Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianany.
And seeing the multitudes He went up to a mountain, and when He was set down, His disciples came to Him,
2 Dia niloa-bava Izy ka nampianatra azy hoe:
and He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Sambatra ny malahelo am-panahy; fa azy ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Sambatra ny ory; fa izy no hampifalina.
Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
5 Sambatra ny malemy fanahy; fa izy no handova ny tany.
Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Sambatra ny noana sy mangetaheta ny fahamarinana; fa izy no hovokisana.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be satisfied.
7 Sambatra ny miantra; fa izy no hiantrana.
Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Sambatra ny madio am-po; fa izy no hahita an’ Andriamanitra,
Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
9 Sambatra ny mpampihavana; fa izy no hatao hoe zanak’ Andriamanitra.
Blessed are the peace-makers; for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Sambatra izay enjehina noho ny fahamarinana; fa azy ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Sambatra ianareo, raha haratsin’ ny olona sy enjehiny ary asiany izay teny ratsy rehetra hitenenany lainga anareo noho ny amiko.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile and persecute you, and utter all manner of reproach against you falsly, for my sake:
12 Mifalia sy miravoravoa ianareo, fa lehibe ny valim-pitianareo any an-danitra; fa toy izany ihany no nanenjehany ny mpaminany izay talohanareo.
rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great will be your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets, that were before you.
13 Hianareo no fanasin’ ny tany; fa raha ny fanasina no tonga matsatso, inona indray no hahasira azy? Tsy misy heriny hanaovana na inona na inona intsony izy, fa hariana any ivelany ka hohitsahin’ ny olona.
Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt be grown insipid, wherewith shall it be seasoned? it is no longer fit for any thing, but to be thrown out of doors, and trodden under foot.
14 Hianareo no fahazavan’ izao tontolo izao. Tsy azo afenina izay tanàna miorina eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra.
Ye are the light of the world: a city, that is situated on a hill, cannot be hid.
15 Ary koa, tsy misy olona mandrehitra jiro ka mametraka azy ao ambanin’ ny vata famarana, fa apetrany eo amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro, ka dia mazava amin’ izay rehetra ao an-trano izany.
Nor do men light a candle, to put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and then it giveth light to all in the house.
16 Aoka hazava eo imason’ ny olona toy izany koa ny fahazavanareo, mba hahitany ny asa soa ataonareo ka hankalazany ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.
So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven.
17 Aza ataonareo fa tonga Aho handrava ny lalàna na ny mpaminany; tsy tonga Aho handrava, fa hanatanteraka.
Think not that I am come to abrogate the law, or the prophets: I am not come to abolish, but to compleat them:
18 Fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Mandra-pahafoan’ ny lanitra sy ny tany, dia tsy hisy ho foana akory amin’ ny lalàna, na dia litera iray na tendron-tsoratra iray aza, mandra-pahatanterak’ izy rehetra.
for verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot nor one tittle shall pass from the law, till all be compleated.
19 Ary amin’ izany na zovy na zovy no mamaha ny anankiray amin’ ireo didy madinika indrindra ireo ka mampianatra ny olona toy izany, dia hatao hoe kely indrindra amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra izy. Fa na zovy na zovy no mankatò sy mampianatra ireo dia izy no hatao hoe lehibe amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of the left of these commandments, and thereby teach men so to do, he shall be esteemed very little in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do as well as teach them, he shall be accounted great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Fa lazaiko aminareo: Raha tsy mihoatra noho ny an’ ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo ny fahamarinanareo, dia tsy hiditra amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra mihitsy ianareo.
For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Efa renareo fa voalaza tamin’ ny ntaolo hoe: Aza mamono olona; ary izay mamono olona dia miendrika hohelohina amin’ ny fitsarana.
Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever committeth murder, shall be liable to the judgment:
22 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Izay rehetra tezitra amin’ ny rahalahiny dia miendrika hohelohina amin’ ny fitsarana; ary na zovy na zovy no hanao amin’ ny rahalahiny hoe: Olom-poana ianao, dia miendrika hohelohina amin’ ny Synedriona; ary na zovy na zovy no hanao hoe: Foka ialahy, dia miendrika ho ao amin’ ny helo mirehitra afo. (Geenna )
but I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without cause shall be liable to the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be obnoxious to the council; but whosoever shall say, "Thou fool," shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna )
23 Ary amin’ izany, raha mitondra ny fanatitrao ho eo amin’ ny alitara ianao, ary eo no mahatsiaro fa ny rahalahinao manana alahelo aminao,
Therefore, if thou bring thine offering to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath any complaint against thee;
24 dia avelao eo anoloan’ ny alitara ny fanatitrao, ka mandehana aloha, ataovy izay hihavananao amin’ ny rahalahinao, ary rehefa miverina, dia vao atero ny fanatitrao.
leave thy gift there before the altar, and go and first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Mihavàna faingana amin’ ilay manana ady aminao, raha mbola miara-dia aminy ianao, fandrao ilay manana ady aminao hanolotra anao amin’ ny mpitsara, ary ny mpitsara kosa hanolotra anao amin’ ny mpamatotra, ka hatao ao an-tranomaizina ianao.
Be friends with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; least the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison:
26 Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Tsy ho afaka ao mihitsy ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last farthing.
27 Efa, renareo fa voalaza hoe: Aza mijangajanga.
Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo fa izay rehetra mijery vehivavy hila azy dia efa nijangajanga taminy tam-pony sahady.
but I tell you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, so as to lust after her, hath already debauched her in his heart.
29 Fa raha ny masonao ankavanana no manafintohina anao, dia esory hiala iny, ka ario ho afaka aminao; fa mahasoa anao na dia very aza ny iray momba ny tenanao, ka tsy ny tenanao rehetra no hariana any amin’ ny helo. (Geenna )
And therefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one part of thee perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell: (Geenna )
30 Ary raha ny tananao ankavanana no manafintohina anao, dia tapaho Izy, ka ario ho afaka aminao; fa mahasoa anao na dia very aza ny iray momba ny tenanao, ka tsy ny tenanao rehetra no ho lasa ho any amin’ ny helo. (Geenna )
and if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy limbs should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna )
31 Ary voalaza hoe: Na zovy na zovy no misaotra ny vadiny, dia aoka izy hanome an-dravehivavy taratasy fisaoram-bady.
And it has been said, whosoever would put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce:
32 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Izay rehetra misaotra ny vadiny afa-tsy noho ny fijangajangana ihany dia mampijangajanga azy; ary na zovy na zovy no manambady izay voasaotra, dia mijangajanga.
but I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, tempteth her to commit adultery; and if any man marry her that is divorced, he committeth adultery.
33 Ary koa, efa renareo fa voalaza tamin’ ny ntaolo hoe: Aza mianian-tsy tò, fa efao amin’ i Jehovah ny fianiananao.
Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Aza mianiana akory na amin’ ny lanitra, fa seza fiandrianan’ Andriamanitra izany;
but I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 na amin’ ny tany, fa fitoeran-tongony izany; na amin’ i Jerosalema, fa tanànan’ ny Mpanjaka lehibe izany.
nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King: neither shalt thou swear by thy head,
36 Aza mianiana amin’ ny lohanao; fa tsy mahay mahafotsy na mahamainty na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza ianao.
for thou canst not make one hair of it white or black:
37 Fa aoka ny teninareo ho Eny, eny; Tsia, tsia; fa izay mihoatra noho izany dia avy amin’ ny ratsy.
but let your conversation be yea, yea; no, no; for whatever is more than these, cometh from the evil one.
38 Efa renareo fa voalaza hoe: Maso solon’ ny maso, ary nify solon’ ny nify.
Ye have heard, that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Aza manohitra izay manisy ratsy anareo; fa na zovy na zovy no mamely tahamaina ny takolakao ankavanana, atolory azy koa ny anankiray.
but I say unto you, Set not yourselves against him that injures you, but if any one smite thee on thy right cheek, rather turn to him the other also:
40 Ary izay te hiady aminao ka tahaka ny akanjonao, dia avelao ho azy koa ny lambanao.
and if any one would go to law with thee, to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, rather than strive with him:
41 Ary na zovy na zovy no hanery anao handeha maily iray, mandehana miaraka aminy maily roa.
and if any one shall force thee one mile, go with him two.
42 Omeo izay mangataka aminao; ary aza ilaoza-mihodìna izay te hisambotra aminao.
Give to him that asketh thee, and him, that would borrow of thee, turn not away.
43 Efa renareo fa voalaza hoe: Tiava ny namanao, ary mankahalà ny fahavalonao.
Ye have heard, that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:
44 Fa Izaho kosa milaza aminareo hoe: Tiava ny fahavalonareo, ary mivavaha ho an’ izay manenjika anareo,
but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that abuse you and persecute you;
45 mba ho tonga zanaky ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra ianareo; fa Izy mampiposaka ny masoandrony amin’ ny ratsy fanahy sy ny tsara fanahy ary mampilatsaka ny ranonorana amin’ ny marina sy ny tsy marina.
that ye may be the children of your heavenly Father; for He causeth his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain upon the just and the unjust.
46 Fa raha izay tia anareo ihany no tianareo, inona no valim-pitia azonareo? Moa na dia ny mpamory hetra aza tsy mba manao izany koa va?
For if ye love only them that love you, what reward do ye expect? do not even the publicans the same?
47 Ary raha ny rahalahinareo ihany no arahabainareo, inona no ataonareo mihoatra noho ny sasany? Moa na dia ny jentilisa aza tsy mba manao toy izany ihany va?
and if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not the publicans so likewise?
48 Koa amin izany aoka ho tanteraka ianareo toy ny fahatanterahan’ ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra.
Be ye therefore perfect in love and goodness, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
