Lioka 17
1 Le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Tsi-mahay tsy ho avy avao ty mampitsikapy fa hankàñe ami’ty ‘ndaty namalañe aze!
Jesus said to his disciples: “It is inevitable that there should be snares; yet alas for him who is answerable for them!
2 Hamake te anampezam-bato fandisanañe ty fititia’e vaho ajoroboñe an-driak’ ao, ta t’ie hanirìka ty raik’ amo kedekede retoa.
It would be good for him if he had been flung into the sea with a mill-stone round his neck, rather than that he should prove a snare to even one of these lowly ones.
3 Mitaòa! Ie anaña’o hakeo ty rahalahi’o, endaho, le iheveo t’ie misoloho.
Be on your guard! If your brother does wrong, reprove him; but if he repents, forgive him.
4 Ie mandilatse ama’o im-pito ami’ty andro raike, fe mibalike impito hihalaly ama’o manao ty hoe: Misoloho iraho. Le iheveo.
Even if he wrongs you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says ‘I am sorry,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Le hoe ty asa’ o Firaheñeo amy Talè: Tompeo o fatokisa’aio.
“Give us more faith,” said the Apostles to the Master;
6 Tinoi’ i Talè ty hoe: Ndra te kede manahake ty voam-baro ty fatokisa’ areo le ho saontsie’ areo o lamonty eroañeo ty hoe: Miromata le miketsà an-driak’ añe, le hanoe’e.
but the Master said: “If your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you could say to this mulberry tree ‘Be up-rooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 Ia ama’areo, te amam-pitoroñe miava ndra miarak’ añondry, ie mimpoly boak’ an-tetek’ añe ro hanoa’e ty hoe: Mb’etoa, miambesara, mikamà?
Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, ‘Come at once and take your place at table,’
8 Te mone, inao ty hanoa’o: Halankaño o hanekoo, midiaña, le atrao iraho ampara’ te nihinañe naho ninoñe; izay irehe vaho hihinañe naho hinoñe.
Instead of saying ‘Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and wait on me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you shall eat and drink yourself’?
9 Handriañe’e hao i mpitoroñe nanao i nandilia’eiy?
Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
10 Aa inahareo ka, ie fa nañeneke ze hene nandiliañe, anò ty hoe: Mpitoroñe tsy jefa’e zahay, ty nandiliañ’ anay avao ty nanoe’ay.
And so with you — when you have done all that you have been told, still say ‘We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.’”
11 Ie nionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo, le nioza añ’efe-tane’ i Samaria naho i Galilia naho
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12 nizilik’ an-drova ao vaho nifanalaka’ ty angamae folo lahy, nijohañe ey
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
13 nampipozake ty hoe: Ry Iesoà, Tale, ferenaiño zahay.
Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly: “Jesus! Sir! pity us!”
14 Nivazoho’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, miboaha amo mpisoroñeo. Aa ie mbe nihitrike mb’eo le nijangañe.
When Jesus saw them, he said: “Go and show yourselves to the priest.” And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
15 Aa naho nirendre’ ty raik’ ama’e t’ie nalio le nibalike nampipoñake renge aman’ Añahare,
One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
16 naho nihohoke, laharañ’ am-pandia, nañandriañe; nte-Samaria indatiy.
and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 Le hoe ty ontane’ Iesoà: Tsy songa nilioveñe hao i folo lahy rey? Aia ty sive?
“Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine — where are they?
18 Tsy nahatendreke raike hao ty hibalike handrenge an’ Andrianañahare naho tsy ty ambahiny toy?
Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 Le hoe re tama’e: Mitroara, mañaveloa, fa nahajangañe azo o fatokisa’oo.
Get up,” he said to him, “and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.”
20 Teo te, nañontane aze o Fariseoo ty hitotsaha’ i Fifehean’ Añaharey; le hoe ty natoi’e: Tsy tendre-biribiry ty hivotraha’ i Fifehean’ Añaharey;
Being once asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered: “The Kingdom of God does not come in a way that admits of observation,
21 tsy eo ty hanao ty hoe: Indroke ie! ndra, Intiañe! Fa toe ama’areo ao i Fifehean’ Añaharey.
nor will people say ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’; for the Kingdom of God is within you!
22 Le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Ho tondroke ty andro hisalalà’ areo hahaisake ty raik’ amo andro’ i Ana’ ondatiio, fe tsy hahaoniñe.
The day will come,” he said to his disciples, “when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.
23 Hoe ty hanoe’ iareo. Indrok’ ie! ndra Intiañe! ko mandeha, ko mañorike iareo.
People will say to you ‘There he is! or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go and follow them.
24 Ho hambañe ami’ty helatse mitsopelatse añ’ila’ i likerañey naho mireandreañe pak’ añ’ ilan-dikerañe eñe ka i Ana’ ondatiy amy andro’ey.
For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 F’ie tsi-mahay tsy holàñeñe raha maro hey vaho ho tsambolitio’ ty tariratse toy.
But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
26 Hambañe ami’ty andro’ i Noe ty ho oniñe añ’andro’ i Ana’ondatiy:
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
27 nikama iereo, ninoñe iereo, nañenga valy iereo, le natolotse ho engaeñe iereo pak’ amy andro niziliha’ i Noe am-po’ i samboiy; tojeha amy zao i haempoempoañe nañopo iareo iabiy.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Hanahake tañandro’ i Lota ka: nikama iereo, ninoñe iereo, nivily naho nandetake iereo, nitongy iereo, nañoreñe iereo;
So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29 fe tamy andro niavota’ i Lota i Sodoma, le nidoindoiñ’ afo aman-tsolifara boak’ andindìñe añe, nampangotomomoke iareo iaby.
but, on the very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
30 Ho hambañe amy zay ty andro hisodeha’ i Ana’ondatiy.
It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
31 Amy andro zay, asoao tsy hizotso hangalake ty vara’e añ’anjomba ao ty an-tafo’e ey; izay ka ty an-tetek’ao, Ee te tsy himpolia’e ze raha ao.
On that day, if a man is on his house-top and his goods in the house, he must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm turn back.
32 Tiahio ty vali’ i Lota,
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Ndra iaia mipay handromba-piay ro hamoe aze; fe ndra iaia hamoe-piaiñe ro handrombak’ aze.
Whoever is eager to get the most out of his life will lose it; but whoever will lose it shall preserve it.
34 Itaroñako te, Roe ty hitrao-tihy amy haleñey le ho rambeseñe ty raike naho hadoke ty ila’e.
On that night, I tell you, of two men upon the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
35 Hitrao-pandisañe ty roe: ho rambeseñe ty raike naho hapoke ty ila’e.
of two women grinding together, one will be taken and the other left.”
37 Le natoi’ iareo ty hoe: Aia, Rañandria? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ami’ty fate ey ty ivoria’ o koàkeo.
“Where will it be, Master?” interposed the disciples. “Where there is a body,” said Jesus, “‘there will the vultures flock.’”
