Marka 8
1 Tamy andro zay, ie nialindretse i lahialeñey, naho tsy ama’ mahakama, kinanji’ Iesoà o mpiama’eo le nanoa’e ty hoe:
In those days, the multitude being very large and not having anything to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them:
2 Ferenaiñako ondaty retoa fa telo andro te niharo amako vaho tsy aman-ko kamaeñe;
“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me three days now and have nothing to eat.
3 aa naho ampolieko mb’añ’akiba’e añe, t’ie mifeake, le hitoirañe an-dalañe ey, fa boa-davitse o ila’eo.
If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will give out on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
4 Le hoe ty natoi’ o mpiama’eo: Aia ty mofo an-jerezere tane atoy hahaeneñe ondatio?
His disciples answered Him, “From what source could anyone satisfy these people with bread here in a wilderness?”
5 Nañontanea’e ty hoe: Fire ty mofo ama’ areo? Fito, hoe iereo.
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 Nampiambesare’e an-tane eo i màroy, le nandrambe i mofo fito rey naho nañandriañe, le finola’e, naho natolo’e amo mpiama’eo hanjotsoa’ iareo, vaho nazotso’ iereo am’ ondatio.
So He told the crowd to sit down on the ground; then taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before the crowd, and they did.
7 Aman’ ana-piañe tsiampeampe ka iareo; tinata’e izay le nampanjotsoa’e.
They also had a few small fish; so blessing them He said to distribute them as well.
8 Nikama iereo le nianjañe; vaho nahoroñe an-karon-kisetse fito i nisisa amo nifitafitaoy.
Well they ate and were filled; they even took up seven hampers of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Va’e efats’ arivo ty teo; le nampolie’e.
Now those who had eaten were about four thousand; and He sent them away.
10 Nijon-dakañe amy zao re nindre amo mpiama’eo niondrañe mb’ an-tane Dalmanota añe.
Then He got right into the boat with His disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Pok’ eo o Fariseoo nifandietse ama’e, nipay viloñe boak’ andindìñe ao hisombeañ’ aze.
The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, requesting of Him a sign from heaven, by way of testing Him.
12 Niselekaiñe añ’arofo’e re nanao ty hoe: Ino ty paia’ ty tariratse toy viloñe? Eka! to t’itaroñako te tsy ho toloram-biloñe ty tariratse toy.
But He sighed deeply in His spirit and said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you emphatically, no sign shall be given to this generation!”
13 Nisitaha’e naho nijon-dakañe indraike, nitsake mb’an-dafe eroke.
Turning His back on them, He got back into the boat and went off to the other side.
14 Nihaliño’ iareo ty mivaty mofo, ie tsy ama’e naho tsy ty vonga’e raike an-dakañ’ ao.
(His disciples had forgotten to take bread; they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.)
15 Le nafantopanto’e ami’ty hoe: Mijilova! itaò ty lalivai’ o Fariseoo naho ty lalivai’ i Heroda.
And He charged them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 Le hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo: Va’e te tika tsy ama’ mofo.
So they started reasoning among themselves, saying, “It's because we have no bread.”
17 Niarofoana’ Iesoà, le hoe re ama’e: Inoñe ty aereñerè’ areo te tsy ama’ mofo? Mbe tsy mahaisake ndra mahafohiñe hao? Mbe aman-troke mijadiriñe hao?
Being aware of it Jesus said to them: “Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you still neither perceive nor understand? Do you still have hearts that have been hardened?
18 Ry amam-pihaino, tsy mahaisake hao? Ry aman-dravembia, tsy mahajanjiñe hao? tsy tiahi’areo hao,
Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear, and do you not remember?
19 ie namolahañe mofo lime i lime arivoy rey, fire ty mozete pea ty nifitafita natonto’ areo? Folo ro’amby, hoe iereo.
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
20 Aa naho nifolaheko i fito ho a i efats’ arivoy rey, fire ty haron-kisetse nipeà’ i nifitafitay ty rinambe’ areo? Hoe iereo ama’e, Fito.
“And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Mbe tsy mahafohiñe hao?
So He said to them, “How is it that you still don't understand?”
22 Toly e Betsaida ao iereo, le nasese ama’e ty goa vaho nihalaliañe t’ie hitsapa aze.
Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.
23 Rinambe’e ty fità’ i feiy le nindese’e niakatse i rovay, naho nañakatse fañère am-pihaino’e ao vaho nañontane aze he nahaisake.
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
24 Ie niandra le nanao ty hoe: Mahatrea ondaty iraho, aheoko t’ie hoe hatae misitsitse.
And looking up he said, “I do see men, only they look like walking trees.”
25 Napeta’e am-pihaino’e indraike o fità’eo, nihìren-dre le niareñe ty fañentea’e, vaho kila niisa’e malange.
Then He put His hands on his eyes again, and made him look up; and he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
26 Nampolie’e mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo ami’ty hoe: Ko mimoake an-drova ao.
Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the village nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 Nienga mb’ amo tanañe mañohoke i Kaisaria-Filipoo mb’eo t’Iesoà naho o mpiama’eo; ie nañavelo le hoe ty ontane’e amo mpiama’eo: Atao’ ondatio ho ia iraho?
Then Jesus and His disciples set out for the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who are people saying that I am?”
28 Natoi’ iareo ty hoe: I Jaona Mpandipotse, le ty ila’e: I Elia, vaho o ila’eo: raike amo mpitokio.
So they answered, “John the Baptist; others Elijah; still others one of the prophets.”
29 Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Inahareo ka, atao’ areo ho ia iraho? Tinoi’ i Petera ty hoe: I Norizañey ‘n-Iheo!
He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” So Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ!”
30 Le nafanto’e am’iareo ty tsy hitalily am’ ondatio ty ama’e.
Then He charged them that they should tell no one about Him.
31 Le namototse nañoke iareo re, te tsy mahay tsy ho silofen-draha maro i Ana’ ondatiy, ho arinjeñe’ o roandriañeo naho o mpisorom-beio naho o mpanoki-dilio, le hañohofan-doza, ie añe ty hateloañe vaho hitroatse indraike.
He then began to teach them that the Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Nabeja’e malange i tsaray, fe natola’ i Petera le nitrevoha’e.
He said these things quite plainly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 Nitolike re nijilo o mpiama’eo le nendaha’e ami’ty hoe t’i Petera: Mb’am-bohoko ao ty mpañìnje tia! tsy o rahan’ Añahareo ty ereñerea’o, fa a’ ondatio.
But He turned, looked at His disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: “Get behind me, Satan! You have in mind men's values, not God's values.”
34 Tsinikao’e i màroy naho o mpiama’eo, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ze te hañorike ahy, ee t’ie hilie-batañe, handrambe i hatae ajale’ey vaho hanonjohy ahy.
He summoned the crowd, along with His disciples, and said to them: “Whoever wants to follow along behind me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
35 Ze te handrombake ty fiai’e ro hamoe aze, vaho ze mitono-vatañe ty amako naho ty amy talili-soay, ty handrombake aze.
Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel's, he will save it.
36 Ino ty hahasoa ondaty te kila azo’e ty tane toy, te mone ampiantoe’e ty fiai’e?
Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
37 Ino ty hampitsaloha’ ondaty ty fiai’e?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Aa ndra iaia ty meñatse ahy naho o fivolako ami’ty tariratse vamba naho bey hakeo toio, ty himeñara’ i Ana’ Ondatiy t’ie mivotrak’ etoa aman-drengen-dRae’e rekets’ o anjely masiñeo.
Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of the Man will also be ashamed of Him whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy Angels.”
