Lioka 6
1 Ie tamy Sabotse valoha’e faharoey, le niranga teteke naho nitifo loham-bare o mpiama’eo naho nanosokosoke aze am-pitàñe vaho nikama.
One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Aa le hoe ty Fariseo ila’e: Mañino nahareo ro mañota faly ami’ty Sabata?
“Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?” asked some of the Pharisees.
3 Le natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Mbe tsy vinaki’areo hao ty nanoe’ i Davide te nisaliko—ie naho o mindre ama’eo:
Jesus’ answer was: “Have not you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions —
4 ie nizilik’ añ’ Anjomban’ Añahare ao nandrambe mofo-fiatreke naho nikama vaho nandiva amo nindre ama’eo, ze faly tsy kamaeñe naho tsy o mpisoroñeo avao.
That he went into the House of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?”
5 Hoe re tam’iereo, Toe Talè’ o Sabatao i Ana’ondatiy.
Then Jesus added: “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
6 Teo ty Sabata t’ie niheo am-pitontonañ’ ao hañoke, le inge ty lahilahy mate-fitàn-kavana.
On another Sabbath Jesus went into the Synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
7 Aa le nikirok’ aze o mpanoki-dilio naho o Fariseoo ke hañafak’ amy Sabotsey, ho talin-kitombok’ aze.
The Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.
8 Fe niarofoana’ Iesoà ty fitsakorea’ iareo, le hoe re am’ indaty mate-fitañey: Miongaha, mijohaña añivo etoa. Niongake re naho nijohañe.
Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered: “Stand up and come out into the middle.” The man stood up;
9 Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Inao ty ontaneko: ty fanoan-tsoa hao ke ty fanoan-draty ro mete ami’ty Sabata; ty handrombahañ’ aiñe, he ty hañohofan-doza?
and Jesus said to them: “I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath — or harm? to save a life, or let it perish?”
10 Jinilojilo’e iaby, le hoe re am’ indatiy: Ahitio o fità’oo. Nahiti’e le nijangañe amy zao i fità’ey.
Then, looking round at them all, he said to the man: “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
11 Aa le niloroloro iereo, nikilily hañoho-doza amy Iesoà.
But the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were goaded to madness, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
12 Tamy andro zay, nomb’ ambohitse mb’eo t’Iesoà nitalaho, le nitolom-pilolok’ aman’Añahare ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray.
Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
13 Ie terak’ andro, le kinanji’e o mpiama’eo vaho nijoboñe ty folo ro’amby ze nanoe’e ty hoe: Firàheñe:
When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named ‘Apostles.’
14 i Simona ze natovo’e ty hoe Petera, naho i Andrea rahalahi’e, Iakobe naho i Jaona; i Filipo naho i Bartolomeo,
They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 i Matio naho i Tomasy; Iakobe ana’ i Alfeo; naho i Simona natao Zelota,
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,
16 i Jodasy ana’ Iakobe vaho i Jodasy nte-K’riote nifotetse azey.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
17 Nindre nizotso am’iereo t’Iesoà, le nijohañe an-tane mira amo mpiama’e nivorigidiñeo, le nimb’eo ka ty lahialeñe hirike e Iehodà naho e Ierosaleme naho o rova añ’olon-dria’ i Tiro naho i Sidona añeo,
Afterwards Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,
18 songa pok’eo hijanjiñe aze naho ho janganeñe amo areteñeo vaho nafaha’e o vinolevolem-pañahy maleotseo.
who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;
19 Fonga te hitsapa aze i màroy, amy te nitolom-piboak’ ama’e ty haozarañe nampijangañe ie iaby.
and every one in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.
20 Nampiandra fihaino amo mpiama’eo t’Iesoà le nanao ty hoe: Haha nahareo rarakeo Fa anahareo i Fifehean’Añaharey
Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus spoke as follows: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Haha o limpoañe henanekeo fa hanjañeñe. Haha o mirovetse henanekeo fa hiankahake.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22 Haha nahareo, naho heje’ondaty, naho aitoa’e, naho onjire’e, vaho homosokoso’e o tahina’ areoo ty amy Ana’ondatiy.
Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and taunt you, and reject your Name as an evil thing — on account of the Son of Man.
23 Mirebeha amy andro zay, vaho mivoàña an-kaehake! Inao, jabajaba o tambe’areo andindìñeo; manahake izay ka ty nanoan-droae’iareo amo mpitokio.
Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in Heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the Prophets.
24 Hankàñe ama’areo mpañalealeo! fa niazo’areo ty fañohòañe.
But ‘alas for you who are rich,’ for you have had your comforts in full.
25 Hankàñe amo anjañe henanekeo! fa ho saliko. Hankàñe amo mpiankahake henanekeo, fa hirovetse naho handala.
Alas for you who are sated now, for you will hunger. Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Hankàñe ama’areo naho tsiririe’ondaty, Amy t’ie ty nanoen-droae’ iareo amo nieva ho mpitokio.
Alas for you when all men speak well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false Prophets.
27 Hoe ka iraho amo mahajanjiñeo: Kokò o rafelahi’ areoo; hasoào o malaiñe anahareoo.
But to you who hear I say — Love your enemies, show kindness to those who hate you,
28 Tatao ze mamatse anahareo le mihalalia ho amo mijoy anahareoo.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who insult you.
29 Ie manampify azo ami’ty fiambina’o t’indaty, atoloro ama’e ka ty haila’e; ie gaoñe’e ty saravi’o, ko tambozoreñ’ ama’e ty saro’o.
When a man gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when any one takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.
30 Meo ze mihalaly ama’o; le ko ampipolieñe ze rinambe’e ama’o.
Give to every one who asks of you; and, when any one takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.
31 Ty tea’areo hanoe’ ondaty ama’areo, anò am’iareo ka.
Do to others as you wish them to do to you.
32 Naho ze mpikoko anahareo avao ty ikokoa’areo, Ino ty ho tambe’ areo? Fa tea’ ty mpanan-kakeo ka ty te aze.
If you love only those who love you, what thanks will be due to you? Why, even the outcast love those who love them!
33 Aa naho ze mañasoa anahareo avao ro añasoañe, Ino ty ho tambe’ areo? Amy te manao izay ka ty bey hakeo.
For, if you show kindness only to those who show kindness to you, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast do that!
34 Naho mampisongo amy ze tamae’ areo hahavake avao, ino ty ho tambe’areo? Fa mampisongo amo bey hakeoo o mpanan-kakeoo, hañavaha’iareo mira.
If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get something, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast lend to the outcast in the hope of getting as much in return!
35 Fe kokò ty rafelahi’ areo, hasoao, ampisongò, le ko mitamà avake naho ho ra’elahy ty tambe’ areo, vaho ho ana’ i Andindimoneñey, ie matarik’ amo tsivokatseo naho amo tsereheñeo.
But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward shall be great, and you shall be Sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
36 Mitretreza manahake ty fiferenaiñan-dRae’ areo.
Learn to be merciful — even as your Father is merciful.
37 Ko manìñe, le tsy ho tiñeañe. Ko mamàtse le tsy hafàtse. Mihevea le hiheveañe.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Mañomea le ho meañe; ho tolorañe am-pañaranañe pea, nikobakobaheñe naho nihotsokotsòfeñe vaho mipopoke; ami’ty fañaranañe añarana’ areo ro añaranañe ama’areo.
Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; For the measure that you mete will be meted out to you in return.”
39 Tinovo’ Iesoà ami’ty ohatse toy: Mahay miaolo ty goa hao ty fey? Tsy sindre higodoñe an-kadaha ao v’iereon-droroe?
Then, speaking in parables, Jesus said: “Can one blind man guide another? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 Tsy ambone’ ty mpiana’e hao ty talè? fe ze añoñe ro hanahake an-talè’e.
A scholar is not above his teacher; yet every finished scholar shall be like his teacher.
41 Aa vaho ino ty angarefa’o ty alìfe am-pihainon-drahalahi’o ao, fe tsy isa’o ty varamba am-pihaino’o ao?
And why do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the beam in your own?
42 Akore ty anoa’o aman-drahalahi’o ty hoe: O koahe hafàhako o alìfe am-pihaino’oo. Fe tsy oni’o i varamba am-pihaino’oy? Soamiatreke! Ahifiho añe hey ty varamba am-pihaino’o ao hahafibiribira’o ty hañafake i alìfe am-pihainon-drahalahi’oy.
How can you say to your brother ‘Brother, let me take out the straw in your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the beam in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the straw in your brother’s.
43 Tsy mamoa voa raty ty hatae soa, vaho tsy mamoa soa ty hatae raty.
There is no such thing as a good tree bearing worthless fruit, or, on the other hand, a worthless tree bearing good fruit.
44 Sindre rendrek’ ami’ty voa’e ty hatae; tsy hampipotorañe voan-tsakoa ami’ty fatike, ndra filomboke ami’ty lombiry.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs off thorn bushes, nor pick a bunch of grapes off a bramble.
45 Mañakatse ty soa ami’ty fañajàm-bara an-tro’e ao t’indaty soa vaho aboa’ i lo-tserekey am-pañajam-bara an-tro’e ao ty hativàñe; fa ty haliforañ’ arofo ro fisaontsiam-palie.
A good man, from the good stores of his heart, brings out what is good; while a bad man, from his bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills a man’s heart will rise to his lips.
46 Ino ty tokava’ areo ahy Talè, Talè; fe tsy manao ze itaroñako?
Why do you call me ‘Master! Master!’ and yet fail to do what I tell you?
47 Ze mb’ amako, naho mijanjiñe o volakoo, vaho anoe’e, le itoroako ty ihambaña’e:
Every one who comes to me and listens to my teaching and acts upon it — I will show you to whom he may be compared.
48 Manahake t’indaty nañoreñ’ anjomba re; nihaly laleke vaho naore’e an-damilamy eo o faha’eo. Ie nisorotombaheñe le naronje’ i rano-vohitsey mafe i anjombay, f” ie tsy naha-ozoñozoñ’ aze, kanao nioreñe am-bato.
He may be compared to a man building a house, who dug, and went deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when a flood came, the river swept down upon that house, but had no power to shake it, because it had been built well.
49 Ty mijanjiñe fe tsy manao, ro sarèñe amy t’indaty nañoren-traño am-paseñe tsy amam-pahañe; tinorotosi’ i rano vohitsey; le niforetrake, vaho bey-fianto’ i trañoy.
But those who have listened and not acted upon what they have heard may be compared to a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation. The river swept down upon it, and the house immediately collapsed; and great was the crash that followed.”
