Lioka 7
1 Ie nifonitse i nilañone’e añatrefa’ i màroy le niheo mbe Kapernaomy mb’eo,
After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.
2 le teo ty mpitorom-pifehen-dahin-defon-jato nisoheñe, narare, toe heta’e.
Here the slave of a certain Roman captain, a man dear to his master, was ill, and at the point of death.
3 Ie nijanjiñe’e Iesoà, le nirahe’e homb’ ama’e ty androanavi’ o Jiosio hihalaly ama’e ty homb’eo hampijangañe i mpitoro’ey.
So when the captain heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to ask him to come and save his slave.
4 Aa ie nifanampe amy Iesoà, le nimanea’ iareo toreo ami’ty hoe: Evae’e te hanoe’o,
And they, when they reached Jesus, asked him earnestly to do this. "He deserves that you should do this," they said,
5 amy t’ie mpitea ty tanen-tika naho namboatse anjombam-pitontoñañe.
"for he loves our nation, and himself has built a synagogue for us."
6 Aa le niongake vaho nindre lia am’iereo t’Iesoà. Ie narine i anjombay, le nampanalakà’ i mpifelekey aze o rañe’eo hinday o entañe zao: O Rañandria, ko mañolañ’ ay fa tsy sazò ahy te ihe hiheo ambane’ ty tafo-trañoko.
So Jesus started to go with them, but while he was not far from the house, the captain sent friends to him with a message. "Lord do not trouble yourself, for I am not fit that you should come under my roof,
7 Mbore ataoko tsy mañeva azo te izaho ro homb’ ama’o, fe mitsarà le ho jangañe i mpitorokoy.
"and so I did not think myself worthy to come to you; but speak the word, and let my man be cured.
8 Izaho ka fehèn-dily vaho mamehe lahindefoñe. Ie ataoko Akia ty raike le mandeha, naho ami’ty raike: Mb’etoa, le avy, vaho amy mpitorokoy: Anò zao, le anoe’e.
"For I also am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me. And I say to one ‘come,’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘do this or that,’ and he does it."
9 Ie jinanji’ Iesoà, le nilatsa, naho nitolike, nanao ty hoe am’ ondaty nañorik’ azeo: Itaroñako te mbe lia tsy nahatrea fatokisam-bey hoe izay ndra e Israele atoy!
But when Jesus heard this he was astonished and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."
10 Ie pok’ añ’ anjomba ao o nafanto’eo, le nizoe’ iereo jangañe i mpitoroñe natindriy.
And those who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the slave well.
11 Ie amy loak’androy, nigodañe mb’ an-drova atao Naina mb’eo t’Iesoà; le nañorik’ aze ty maro amo mpiama’eo naho i lahialeñey.
Soon afterward he went to a city called Nain, accompanied by his disciples, and a great crowd of people.
12 Ie nitotoke i lalambein-drovay, intoy ty takon-dolo boak’ao, ty ana-dahy bako tokan-drene’e, vantotse; le nañorik’ aze ty valobohòke boak’ an-drova ao.
Now when he drew near the gate of the city, behold, they were there carrying out one who was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
13 Ie nivazoho’ i Talè i rakembay le niferenaiña’e naho nanoe’e ty hoe: Ko mirovetse!
A great crowd accompanied her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 Nimb’eo re nitsapa i horantsañey vaho nitsangañe o mpitakoñeo le hoe re: O kirahe, hoe iraho ama’o: Mivañòna!
And he came near and touched the bier; the bearer stopped and he said, "Young man, I bid you to rise."
15 Nitroatse amy zao i nivetrakey naho nisaontsy vaho natolo’e aman-drene’e.
And he who was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Hene niazo’ ty anifañe ondatio le nañomey engeñe an’ Andrianañahare ami’ty hoe: Mpitoky ra’elahy ty nitroatse amantika; vaho ty hoe: Nitilike ondati’eo t’i Andrianañahare.
And awe took hold on them all, and they began to glorify God saying. "A great prophet has risen among us;" and, "God has visited his people."
17 Nanitsike Iehodà naho o rova mañohok’ aze iabio ty fiboelea’ i talily ty ama’ey.
And the report of what Jesus had done went forth throughout Judea and the surrounding regions.
18 Natalili’ o mpiana’ i Jaonao ama’e i hene rezay.
John’s disciples brought him word of all these things
19 Aa le kinanji’ i Jaona ty mpiana’e roe le nampihitrife’e mb’amy Talè mb’eo hañontane aze ty hoe: Ihe hao i ho aviy, ke hafa ty ho tamàe’ay?
and, calling a certain two disciples to him, he sent them to Jesus, to say, "Are you ‘the coming one,’ or if we are to expect another?"
20 Ie nivotraha’ indaty rey le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Nirahe’ i Jaona Mpandipotse mb’ama’o mb’etoan-jahay hañontàne ty hoe: Ihe hao i Ho aviy, kera mbe añe i tamaen-tikañey?
So the men came to Jesus and said, "Johnthe Baptist has sent us to ask you if you are the coming one, or if we are to expect another."
21 Amy oray avao ty nañafaha’e ondaty maro amo areteñeo naho amo hasilofañeo naho amo anga-dratio vaho nampañisake ty goa maro.
At that moment Jesus was healing many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many that were blind he was freely giving their sight.
22 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Akia, atalilio amy Jaona o raha niisa’areo naho nijanjiñeñeo; te mahaoniñe o feio, minokitse o komboo, malio o angamaeo, mijanjiñe o giñeo, miheren-ko veloñe o vilasio vaho taroñeñe amo rarakeo i Talili-soay.
So he answered them. "Go your way, tell Johnwhat you have seen and heard. How the blind are seeing, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised, and the poor are hearing the proclamations of glad tidings.
23 Haha ze tsy mitorifike amako.
"And blessed is he who finds no cause of stumbling in me."
24 Ie niavotse i mpiana’ i Jaona rey, le nitalily i Jaona amy lahialeñey t’Iesoà, ami’ty hoe: Hisamba inoñe ty lia’areo mb’am-babangoañe añe? Ty Bararata atroetroen-tioke hao?
When John’s messengers were gone he began to speak to the crowds about John, saying, "What went out you out to the desert to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 ke ino ty niakara’ areo ho isaheñe? Ondaty misikin-tsoa hao? Toe añ’ anjombam-pifehe ao o mpisaroñe lamba marerarerao naho o miaiñ’ añolèñañeo;
"But what you went out to behold? A man clothed in soft robes? Behold, men who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces.
26 he ino ty niavota’ areo ho sambaeñe? Mpitoky hao? Eka! hoe iraho ama’areo: lombolombom-pitoky re.
"But what went you to see? A prophet?
27 Ie nipatereñe ty hoe: Ingo, iraheko aolon-dahara’o eo ty hañajary ty lala’o aolo’o.
"Yes, I tell you and more than a prophet. This is he who it is written. "Behold I send a messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Aa hoe ty entako ama’areo: Amy ze sinaman-droakemba tsy teo ty mpitoky bey te amy Jaona Mpandipotse; fe jabajaba te ama’e ze minjilìte’e amy Fifehean’Añaharey.
"I tell you that among all that are born of women not one is greater than John; yet he that is little in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 Songa nañomey to an’ Andrianañahare ondaty nahajanjiñeo naho o mpamory vili-lohao, amy t’ie niliporeñe ami’ty filipora’ i Jaona,
On hearing this all the people and the tax-gatherers acknowledged the justice of God by being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 fe nifarie’o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dilio ty nisafirien’ Añahare ho a iareo amy t’ie tsy nimete nilipotse ama’e.
but the Pharisees and lawyers who had refused his baptism, frustrated God’s purpose for themselves.
31 Inoñe arè ty handrazañako ondati’ ty tariratse toio, isareañe ami’ty ino?
"To what then shall I compare the men of this generation?
32 Ie hambañe ami’ty ajaja mitobok’ an-tsena ao mifampikoike ty hoe: fa nitiofa’ay soly fe tsy nitsinjaha’areo; nibekoa’ay fandalañe, fe tsy niroveta’areo.
"To What are they like, they are like children sitting in the market- place and calling to one another. "‘We have piped to you,’ they say, ‘and you have not danced; we have wailed, and you did not cry.’
33 Aa ie niloneake t’i Jaona Mpandipotse, tsy nikama mofo, tsy ninon-divay le hoe ty asa’ areo: Aman-kokolampa re.
"For Johnthe Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34 Ie nivotrake eo ka i Ana’ ondatiy mihinañe naho minoñe, le hoe ka nahareo: Hehe! milonja naho migenoke divay ty rañem-pamory vili-loha naho bey hakeo tia.
"The son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!’
35 Fe mahazo to amo ana’eo ty hihitse.
"Nevertheless, wisdom is justified by all her children."
36 Ie amy zay, nañambara Iesoà ty Fariseo hitrao-pikama. Aa le niheo mb’añ’anjomba’e ao re, niambesatse.
One of the Pharisees kept urging him to dine, so he entered the house and reclined at table.
37 Le teo ty ampela beihakeo an-drova ao, ie naharendreke t’ie nandrenàndre nikama añ’anjomba’ i Fariseoy, le nandesa’e solike mañitse ami’ty anan-tsinihara.
Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume,
38 Nijohañe amboho’e eo re nirovetse am-pandia’e, nandè o fandia’eo an-dranomaso’e naho nifòra’e amo volo’eo; le nitolom-pañoroke o fandia’eo vaho nihosora’e solike mañitse.
and standing behind, at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with her hair, while she tenderly kissed his feet, and poured the perfume over them.
39 Ie nioni’ i fariseo nañambara aze le hoe ty tsakore’e: Naho toe nimpitoky ondatio, le ho nifohi’e te ia izay naho ty sata’ o ampela mitsapatsapa azeo; t’ie bei-hakeo.
When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."
40 Aa le natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: O Simona, Inao ty ivolañako. Le hoe re: Isaontsio, Talè.
Jesus then spoke to him. "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
41 Teo ty mpampisongo amam-pisongo roe. Ty raike nitsepake bogady liman-jato, ty raike limam-polo.
"There were once to men," said Jesus, "in debt to one money- lender. One owed him fifty pounds; the other five.
42 Aa kanao tsy eo ty hahavaha’ iareo, sindre nihevea’e. Toiño iraho, ia am’ iereo ty ho lako fitea aze?
"When they had nothing pay he forgave them with such charm. "Tell me, then, which of these will love him most?"
43 Hoe ty natoi’ i Simona: Va’e i nihevea’e beiy. Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: To i saontsi’oy.
"I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most."
44 Nitolik’ amy ampelay re le nisaontsy amy Simona ty hoe: Hehek’ o rakembao? Nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’o atoan-draho le tsy nanjotsoa’o rano hanasàko tomboke, fe o rano-pihaino’eo ro nanasa o tombokoo vaho namaoke aze o maroi’eo.
"You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 Tsy nondrohe’o; fe boak’ ami’ty nimoahako atoañe le lia’e tsy napo’e ty oroke o tombokoo.
"You gave me no kiss; but she, since she came in, has never ceased tenderly kissing my feet;
46 Tsy nañiliña’o menake ty lohako, fe hinoso’ ty rakemba tia solike mañitse o tombokoo.
"you never anointed my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with my feet with perfume.
47 Aa hoe ty taroko ama’o, O tahi’e nimaroo, fonga nimeatse, amy t’ie bey fikokoañe. Aa ze niheveañe kede, kede ka ty fitea’e.
"This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.
48 Le hoe re tamy rakembay: Hene nilioveñe o hakeo’oo.
"Your sins are forgiven," he said to her.
49 Aa hoe ty fiñeoñeo’ o nitrao-pikama ama’eo: Ia ka ty mbore mañaha hakeo tia?
Then the other guest began to say among themselves, "Who is this even to forgive sins?"
50 Hoe t’Iesoà tamy ampelay: Nandrombak’ azo ty fatokisa’o; akia an-kanintsiñe.
But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
