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.
About the same time Jesus walked through the corn-fields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat 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.
But, when the Pharisees saw this, they said: “Look! your disciples are doing what it is not allowable to do on a Sabbath!”
3 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Tsy fa vinaki’ areo hao ty nanoe’ i Davide, ie nisaliko naho ondati’eo
“Have not you read,” replied Jesus, “what David did, when he and his companions were hungry —
4 añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao, ie nikama i mofo-miatrekey, ze tsy azo kamaeñe naho tsy o mpisoroñeo avao?
how he went into the House of God, and how they ate the consecrated bread, through it was not allowable for him or his companions to eat it, but 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?
And have not you read in the law that, on the Sabbath, the priest in the Temple break the Sabbath and yet are not guilty?
6 Eka, itaroñako te etoañe ty ambone’ i anjombay.
Here, however, I tell you, there is something 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,
And had you learned the meaning of the words — ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned those who are not guilty.
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.
Passing on, Jesus 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?
and there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath — so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
11 Le hoe re tam’iareo; Ia ama’ areo aman’ añondry mijoñe an-davake ao ami’ty andro Sabata, ty tsy mañakats’ aze?
But Jesus said to them: “Which of you, if he had only one sheep, and that sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lay hold of it and pull it out?
12 Lombolombo izay t’indaty, aa le mete vaho mañeva, ty manao soa ami’ty Sabotse.
And how much more precious a man is than a sheep! Therefore it is allowable 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. “Stretch out your hand.” The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.
14 Fe nifandrimboñe o Fariseoo, nikinia ty hañoho-doza ama’e.
On coming out, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus, to put him to death.
15 Niarofoana’ Iesoà o ereñeren-tro’ iareo; le nisitake; maro ty siloke nañorike aze, vaho fonga jinanga’e;
Jesus, however, became aware of it, and went away from that place. A number of people followed him, and he cured them all;
16 hinatahata’e tsy hampahafohinañe aze,
but he warned them not to make him known,
17 hampijadoñe ty nampisaontsieñe Isaia:
in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah —
18 Ingo ty mpitoroko tinendreko, i jinoboko mampinembanebañe ty trokoy; hapetako ama’e ty Troko, vaho ho taroñe’e amo fifeheañeo ty hatò.
‘Behold! the Servant of my Choice, My Beloved, in whom my heart delights! I will breathe my spirit upon him, and he shall announce a time of judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Tsy ho hemban-dre, tsy hilay, vaho tsy ho janjiñeñe an-dalañe ey ty fiarañanaña’e.
He shall not contend, nor cry aloud, Neither shall any one 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,
a bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,
21 i Tahina’ey ro fitamà’ o kilakila ondatio.
and on his name shall the Gentiles rest their hopes.”
22 Nasese ama’e t’indaty fey naho moañe, niazo’ ty kokolampa, le hinaha’e. Niisa’ i lahialeñey
Then some people brought to Jesus a possessed man, who was blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the man who had been dumb both talked and saw.
23 le nilatsa vaho nanao ty hoe: Tsy ie hao i Ana’ i Davidey?
At this all the people were astounded. “Is it possible that this is the son of David?” they exclaimed.
24 Nahimbam-pahazo izay o Fariseoo le nanoiñe ty hoe: Tsy mañary kokolampa indatiy naho tsy i Baalzebobe talè’ o kokolampao avao.
But the Pharisees heard of it and said: “He drives out demons only by the help of Baal-zebub the chief of the 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.
Jesus, however, was aware of what was passing in their minds, and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself becomes a desolation, and any town or household divided against itself will not last.
26 Naho roahe’ i mpañìnjey ty mpañinje, le hifampiria iereo, aia ty hijadoña’ i fifehea’ey?
So, if Satan drives Satan out, he must be divided against himself; and how, then, can his kingdom last?
27 Aa naho i Bèlzebobe ro añariako kokolampa, inoñe arè ty tsy androaha’ o ana’areoo irezay? Aa le ie ro ho mpizaka anahareo.
And, if it is by Baal-zebub’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.
28 Fa naho i Arofon’ Añaharey ro añariako kokolampa, le toe fa migadoñe i fifehea’ey.
But, if it is by the help of the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon 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.
How, again, can any one get into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods, without first securing him? And not till then will he plunder his house.
30 Mandietse ahy ze tsy mindre amako, naho mifary ahy ze tsy mirekets’ amako.
He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not help me to gather is 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;
Therefore, I tell you, men will be forgiven every sin and slander; but slander against the Holy Spirit will not 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)
Whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in the present age, or in the age to come. (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.
You must assume either that both tree and fruit are good, or that both tree and fruit are worthless; since it is by its fruits that a tree is known.
34 Ry fiosoñan-dapètakeo! Aia ty hahafivolaña’ areo raha soa kanao raty? Isaontsiam-palie ty fandopoaran’ arofo.
You brood of vipers! how can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.
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 man, from his good stores, produces good things; while an evil man, from his evil stores, produces evil things.
36 Hoe iraho ama’ areo, ze hene entañe saontsie’ ondaty, le sindre ho volilie’e amy andro zakay.
I tell you that for every careless thing that men say, they must answer on the ‘Day of Judgment.’
37 O saontsi’oo ro izakañe azo, naho o sata’oo ro hamàrañe azo.
For it is by your words that you will be acquitted, and by your words that you will be condemned.”
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.
At this point, some Teachers of the Law and Pharisees interposed. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see some sign from you.”
39 Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ty tariratse raty naho karapilo ro mitsoetsoeke viloñe; fe tsy hitoloram-biloñe naho tsy ty vilo’ i Jonà;
“It is a wicked and unfaithful generation,” answered Jesus, “that is asking for a sign, and no sign shall be given it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
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.
For, just as ‘Jonah was inside the sea-monster three days and three nights,’ so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
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.
At the Judgment, the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
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.
At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
43 Ie miakatse amy t’indaty ty anga-maloto, le miranga toetse tsy aman-drano mipay fitofàñe fe tsy manjo;
No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest, and does not find it.
44 le hoe re: Himpoliako i kijà nihirifakoy. Ie pok’ ao, zoe’e kòake, soa fipalirañe, vaho nihentseñeñe.
Then it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’; but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, and swept, and put in order.
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 with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked 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 still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, asking to speak to him.
47 Le hoe t’indaty tama’e: Inao, mipay ty hahaisake azo ty rene’o naho o rahalahi’oo.
Someone told him this, and Jesus replied:
48 Natoi’e ty hoe i nisaontsy ama’ey: Ia o rahalahikoo? naho ia ty reneko?
“Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?”
49 Le nahiti’e mb’amo mpiama’eo o fità’eo vaho nanao ty hoe: Iretoañe o roahalahikoo naho o rahavavikoo vaho ty reneko!
Then, stretching out his hands towards his disciples, he said: “Here are my mother and my brothers!
50 Ze manao ty satrin’ arofon-dRaeko andindìñ’ ao ro roahalahiko naho roahavaveko vaho reneko.
For any one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
