Lioka 18
1 Aa le nirazaña’e te tsi-mahay tsy mihalaly nainai’e ondatio fa tsy hilesa;
And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 ami’ty hoe: Teo ty mpizaka an-drova tsy nañeveñe aman’ Añahare naho tsy nañaoñe ondaty.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 Tamy rovay ty vantotse nitolom-pihose aze ami’ty hoe: Ehe meo to amy rafelahikoy.
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 Tsy nipaoke hey re, fe an-kaela’e, hoe ty fitsakorean-tro’e: Ndra te tsy mampiholibalà ahy t’i Andrianañahare mbore tsy mpanoiñ’ ondaty,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 fe ami’ty fitsoborea’ i vantotsey ro hitolorako to tsy mone hamono hakeo ahy ty fibelobelo’e mb’etoa boak’andro!
Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Tinovo’ i Talè ty hoe: Janjiño i saontsim-pizaka kofofoakey.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 Aa tsy ho mean’ Añahare to hao ondaty jinobo’eo, ie mitoreo ama’e handro an-kaleñe? Hampandiñisa’e ela hao?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 Itaroñako te homea’e to masìka. Fa ie amy zao, naho totsake etoañ’ i Ana’ Ondatiy, mbe hahatendreke fatokisañe an-tane atoy hao?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 Hoe ty nirazañe’e ty amo mpihaboke ho malio tahiñe fe mpañofoke ondatio avao:
And he spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Teo te nionjom-b’añ’ Anjomban’ Añahare mb’eo ty roe hiloloke; ty Fariseo vaho ty mpamory vili-loha.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Nijagarodoñe eo i Fariseoy nañosi-batañe ami’ty hoe: O Andrianañahare, mañandriañ’ Azo iraho te tsy manahake ondaty ila’eo—o mpisenge herio, o tsivokatseo, o karapiloo, antsake o mpamory vili-loha roañe.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Mililitse in-droe ami’ty hereñandro vaho fonga ajoko ao ty fahafolo’ ze azoko.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Nifimpìñe ey ka i mpamory vili-lohay, tsy nahafiandra-pihaino mb’ andikerañey, fa namangovango aràñañe, nanao ty hoe: Ry Andrianañahare itretrezo fa bei-hakeo.
And the publican, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but stroke upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Itaroñako te, nanjò to indatiy te nizotso mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo te amy raikey; amy te hareke ze mirengevoke vaho haonjoñe ty mirèke.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be brought low; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 Teo ty ninday anak’ajaja mb’ama’e ho tsapà’e; f’ie niisa’ o mpiama’eo le nendahe’ iereo.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 F’ie kinanji’ Iesoà homb’ ama’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Adono homb’ amako mb’etoa o anak’ ajajao, le ko sebañeñe; fa ho amy ze hambañ’ ama’e i Fifehean’ Añaharey.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Eka! to t’itaroñako te tsy hizilik’ ao ze tsy mandrambe i Fifehean’ Añaharey manahake ty anak’ajaja.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Teo ty roandriañe nañontane aze ty hoe: O Talè soa, Ino ty hanoeko handovàko haveloñe nainai’e? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Le hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Manao akore te izaho ro atao’o Soa? Tsy eo ty soa naho tsy Raik’ avao, i Andrianañahare.
And Jesus said unto him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Fohi’o o lilio: Ko mañarapilo, ko mañoho-doza, ko mikizo, ko manao talily vilañe, miasia an-drae’o naho an-drene’o?
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother.
21 Hoe ty natoi’ indatiy: Fa nambenako iaby irezay boak’ ami’ty nahakedekedek’ ahiko.
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Ie jinanji’ Iesoà le hoe re ama’e: Mbe poke raha raike irehe: Aletaho iaby o hanaña’oo le manjarà amo rarakeo, naho hanam-bara andindìñe ao irehe, vaho antao hañorik’ ahy.
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Ie jinanji’ indatiy le nimoremoretse amy te mpañaleale.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 Aa ie nioni’ Iesoà i fiotsora’ey le hoe re: Hatsembohañe ty hiziliham-pañaleale amy Fifehean’ Añaharey!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Eka, toe mora ty hampipotitse ty tali-randra an-kirim-pitrebek’ao ta ty hiloaha’ ty mpañaleale am-Pifehean’ Añaharey.
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Aa le hoe o nahajanjiñeo: Aa vaho ia ka ty mete rombaheñe?
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Hoe ty natoi’e: Ze tsy lefe’ ondaty, lefen’ Añahare.
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Hoe t’i Petera: Vazohò! hene nafoe’ay naho nanonjohy Azo.
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed you.
29 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Eka! to t’itaroñako te, tsy eo ty nampidoñ’ anjomba ndra roae ndra roahalahy ndra valy ndra keleiañe ty amy Fifehean’ Añaharey,
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
31 Natola’e amy zao i folo ro’ amby rey vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Inao, mionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo tika le ho henefeñe amy Ana’ondatiy ze pinate’ o mpitokio.
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 T’ie hafotetse am-pità’ o kilakila ondatio ho kobiheñe, ho terateraeñe naho handroràñe,
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully pleaded, and spitted on:
33 le ho lafaen-karavantsy vaho havetrake. F’ie hivañom-beloñe ami’ty andro fahatelo.
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Tsy napota’ iareo i hoe zay, ndra loli’e, fa naetake am’ iareo i saontsy zay le tsy nifohiñe i enta’ey.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying (rhema) was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 Aa ie nitotoke i Hieriko, teo t’indaty fey nitozòk’ añ’olon-dalañe ey nangatake.
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 Tsinano’e ty fandrioña’ i lahialeñey, le nañontanea’e ty lengo’e,
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 vaho nanoañe ty hoe: Miary ey t’Iesoà nte-Nazareta.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
38 Le nikoiha’e ty hoe: Ry Iesoà, ana’ i Davide, tretrezo iraho.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Nendaha’ o mpiaoloo re hampianjiñ’ aze, fe antsake t’ie nikoike ty hoe: Ry ana’ i Davide, Iferenaiño!
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Le nijohañe t’Iesoà vaho nampindese’e mb’ ama’e. Ie narine, le nañontanea’e
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 ty hoe, Ino ty tea’o hanoeko? Le hoe re: O Rañandria, ty hahatreavako.
Saying, What will you that I shall do unto you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e, Mahaisaha, fa nampibeak’ azo ty fatokisa’o.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
43 Nahatrea amy zao re vaho nañorik’ aze nañonjoñe an’ Andrianañahare, ie hene nahaisake izay i màroy le nandrenge i Abo-Tìañe.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
