Matio 12
1 Ie henane zay, niranga vare niriñariña ami’ty andro Sabata t’i Iesoà. Nisaliko o mpiama’eo vaho nampipototse loham-bare naho kinosokoso’ iareo am-pitàñe ho kamaeñe.
Around that time Jesus was walking through fields of grain on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so they started to pick ears of grain and eat them.
2 Ie nioni’ o Fariseoo, le hoe iareo ama’e: Heheke manao ty faly tsy anoeñe ami’ty Sabotse o mpiama’oo.
When the Pharisees saw this they said to Jesus, “Look at your disciples—they're doing what isn't allowed on the Sabbath!”
3 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Tsy fa vinaki’ areo hao ty nanoe’ i Davide, ie nisaliko naho ondati’eo
But Jesus told them, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao, ie nikama i mofo-miatrekey, ze tsy azo kamaeñe naho tsy o mpisoroñeo avao?
He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the sacred bread that they weren't allowed to eat since it's only for the priests.
5 Tsy vinaki’ areo amy Hake ao hao te beteke miranga-Hake ami’ty Sabata o mpisoroñe añ’anjomban’ Añahareo vaho malio-tahiñe?
Haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath but are not considered guilty?
6 Eka, itaroñako te etoañe ty ambone’ i anjombay.
However, I tell you that someone is here who is greater than the Temple!
7 Aa naho napota’ areo ty hoe: Fiferenaiñañe ro paiako fa tsy soroñe, le tsy ho nafà’ areo ty malio tahiñe,
If you'd known the meaning of this Scripture, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn't have condemned an innocent man.
8 amy te Talè’ i Sabatay i ana’ondatiy.
For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Ie heneke i andro rezay le nienga mb’eo t’i Iesoà nizilike am-pitontona’ iareo ao.
Then Jesus left and went into their synagogue.
10 Teo t’indaty mate fitàñe, aa le hoe ty ontane’ iareo ama’e: Vantañe hao ty mampijangañe ami’ty Sabotse?
A man was there with a crippled hand. “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath?” they asked him, looking for a reason to accuse him.
11 Le hoe re tam’iareo; Ia ama’ areo aman’ añondry mijoñe an-davake ao ami’ty andro Sabata, ty tsy mañakats’ aze?
“Suppose you have a sheep and it falls into a hole in the ground on the Sabbath. Don't you grab hold of it and pull it out?” Jesus asked them.
12 Lombolombo izay t’indaty, aa le mete vaho mañeva, ty manao soa ami’ty Sabotse.
“Don't you think a human being is worth much more than a sheep? So yes, you are allowed to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Aa le hoe re am’ indatiy: Ahitio o fità’oo. Napololo’e i fità’ey, vaho nivoatse manahake i ila’ey.
Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed, just as healthy as the other hand.
14 Fe nifandrimboñe o Fariseoo, nikinia ty hañoho-doza ama’e.
But the Pharisees went out and plotted how to kill Jesus.
15 Niarofoana’ Iesoà o ereñeren-tro’ iareo; le nisitake; maro ty siloke nañorike aze, vaho fonga jinanga’e;
Knowing this, Jesus left, with large crowds following him. He healed all of them,
16 hinatahata’e tsy hampahafohinañe aze,
but instructed them not to tell people who he was.
17 hampijadoñe ty nampisaontsieñe Isaia:
This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
18 Ingo ty mpitoroko tinendreko, i jinoboko mampinembanebañe ty trokoy; hapetako ama’e ty Troko, vaho ho taroñe’e amo fifeheañeo ty hatò.
“This is my servant whom I've chosen, The one I love, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit on him, And he will tell the foreigners what's right.
19 Tsy ho hemban-dre, tsy hilay, vaho tsy ho janjiñeñe an-dalañe ey ty fiarañanaña’e.
He won't argue, he won't shout out, And nobody will hear his voice in the streets.
20 Tsy ho potora’e ty vinda demoke, vaho tsy hakipe’e ty lamesa mañatoeñe ampara’ te ajado’e ho nainai’e ty hatò,
He won't break a damaged reed, And he won't extinguish a smoking wick, Until he has proved that his judgment is right,
21 i Tahina’ey ro fitamà’ o kilakila ondatio.
And foreigners will put their hope in him.”
22 Nasese ama’e t’indaty fey naho moañe, niazo’ ty kokolampa, le hinaha’e. Niisa’ i lahialeñey
Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
23 le nilatsa vaho nanao ty hoe: Tsy ie hao i Ana’ i Davidey?
All the crowds were amazed, and asked, “Could this really be the son of David?”
24 Nahimbam-pahazo izay o Fariseoo le nanoiñe ty hoe: Tsy mañary kokolampa indatiy naho tsy i Baalzebobe talè’ o kokolampao avao.
But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of demons!”
25 Niarofoana’ Iesoà ty vetsevetse’ iareo, le nirazaña’e ty hoe: Ho koake ze fifeheañe mifampiria, le tsy hitroatse ze rova ndra anjomba mifanao hereñ’ an-tihy.
Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus told them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. No town or household that is divided against itself can stand.
26 Naho roahe’ i mpañìnjey ty mpañinje, le hifampiria iereo, aia ty hijadoña’ i fifehea’ey?
If Satan drives out Satan, then he's divided against himself—so how could his kingdom stand?
27 Aa naho i Bèlzebobe ro añariako kokolampa, inoñe arè ty tsy androaha’ o ana’areoo irezay? Aa le ie ro ho mpizaka anahareo.
If I'm throwing out demons in the name of Beelzebub, in whose name are your people throwing out demons? Your own people prove you're wrong!
28 Fa naho i Arofon’ Añaharey ro añariako kokolampa, le toe fa migadoñe i fifehea’ey.
But if I'm throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you!
29 Aia ty himoaha’ t’indaty añ’ anjombam-panalolahy hamaoke o vara’eo naho tsy irohiza’e hey? Izay vaho hakopa’e i anjombay.
Can you enter a strong man's house and take his belongings unless you tie him up first? If you do that then you can take everything in his house.
30 Mandietse ahy ze tsy mindre amako, naho mifary ahy ze tsy mirekets’ amako.
Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather together with me do the opposite: they are scattering.
31 Aa le itaroñako te fonga hafahañe amo ana’ ondatio ze hakeo naho hateràñe, fe tsy hapoke am‘ondatio ty fiterateràñe i Arofo Masiñey;
That's why I'm telling you that every sin and blasphemy you commit will be forgiven, except blasphemy against the Spirit which won't be forgiven.
32 ze minday saontsy mamokafoka i Ana’ ondatiy, le hiheveañe, fe tsy hahañe ami’ty sa toy ndra amy sa ho aviy ze minday rehake fanambaitambaiñeñe i Arofo-Masiñey. (aiōn g165)
Those who say something against the Son of man will be forgiven, but those who say something against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven, neither in this life nor the next. (aiōn g165)
33 He hasoao ty hatae ty amo voa’e soao, ke ampimomoho ty hatae ty amo voa’e mimontamontañeo; fa inao ty hatò: o voa’eo ty aharendrehañe ty hatae.
Either decide that the tree is good, and its fruit is good, or decide that the tree is bad and its fruit is bad—for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Ry fiosoñan-dapètakeo! Aia ty hahafivolaña’ areo raha soa kanao raty? Isaontsiam-palie ty fandopoaran’ arofo.
You viper's brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
35 T’indaty soa, boak’amo vara añ’arofo’e soao ro mañakatse hasoa, le t’indaty tsereheñe, hirik’amo vara an-tro’e tsivokatseo ro mampiboake haloloañe.
A good person brings out good from their store of good things, and an evil person brings out evil from their store of evil things.
36 Hoe iraho ama’ areo, ze hene entañe saontsie’ ondaty, le sindre ho volilie’e amy andro zakay.
I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment.
37 O saontsi’oo ro izakañe azo, naho o sata’oo ro hamàrañe azo.
For what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you.”
38 Ie henane zay, nimb’ amy Iesoà mb’eo ty ila’ o Fariseoo naho Androanavio, nanao ty hoe: Te hahatrea viloñe ama’o boak’ andindiñe ao zahay.
Then some of the religious teachers and Pharisees came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign.”
39 Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ty tariratse raty naho karapilo ro mitsoetsoeke viloñe; fe tsy hitoloram-biloñe naho tsy ty vilo’ i Jonà;
“Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign. The only sign they will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah,” Jesus told them.
40 fa manahake t’ie tan-tro’ i fiañe jabajabay telo andro naho telo haleñe, le ho telo andro naho telo haleñe an-tro’ tane ao i Ana’ ondatiy.
“In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will lie in the earth for three days and three nights.
41 Hitroatse amy zakay o nte-Niniveo mindre ami’ty tariratse toy hamàtse aze, amy t’ie nitolike am-pisolohoañe amy tsei’ i Jonày, fe lohà’ i Jonà iraho.
The people of Nineveh will rise in the judgment together with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented in response to Jonah's message—and as you see, there's someone greater than Jonah here!
42 Hiongake amy zakay i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebay mindre ami’ty tariratse toy, hamàtse aze, amy t’ie nihirike añ’olon-tane añe nijanjiñe ty hihi’ i Solomona; fe intoy iraho, lohà’ i Solomona.
The Queen of the South will be raised in the judgment together with this generation and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon—and as you see, there's someone greater than Solomon here!
43 Ie miakatse amy t’indaty ty anga-maloto, le miranga toetse tsy aman-drano mipay fitofàñe fe tsy manjo;
When an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders through deserted places looking for rest, and finds nowhere to stay.
44 le hoe re: Himpoliako i kijà nihirifakoy. Ie pok’ ao, zoe’e kòake, soa fipalirañe, vaho nihentseñeñe.
So it says, ‘I'll go back to the place I left,’ and when it returns it finds the place empty, all clean and tidy.
45 Le angala’e kokolampa fito raty ta ty vata’e, mindre ama’e naho manozìtse ao vaho raty te am-baloha’e ty fiai’indatiy. Izay ty ho ie ami’ty tariratse tsivokatse toañe.
Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and it enters and lives there. So the person ends up worse than they were at the beginning. That's the way it will be with this evil generation.”
46 Ie mbe nisaontsy amy lahialeñey, inao nijohañe alafe ao ty rene’e naho o rahalahi’eo, nipay ty hifanaontsy ama’e.
While he was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers arrived and stood outside, wanting to talk to him.
47 Le hoe t’indaty tama’e: Inao, mipay ty hahaisake azo ty rene’o naho o rahalahi’oo.
Someone came and told him, “Look, your mother and brothers are outside, wanting to talk to you.”
48 Natoi’e ty hoe i nisaontsy ama’ey: Ia o rahalahikoo? naho ia ty reneko?
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Jesus asked.
49 Le nahiti’e mb’amo mpiama’eo o fità’eo vaho nanao ty hoe: Iretoañe o roahalahikoo naho o rahavavikoo vaho ty reneko!
He pointed at his disciples, and said, “Look, they are my mother and my brothers!
50 Ze manao ty satrin’ arofon-dRaeko andindìñ’ ao ro roahalahiko naho roahavaveko vaho reneko.
For those who do the will of my heavenly Father, they are my brother, sister, and mother!”
