Matio 15
1 Le niheo mb’ amy Iesoà mb’eo o Fariseoo naho o Androanavio nanao ty hoe:
Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,
2 Manao akore te mandilatse ty fañè’ o ntaoloo o mpiama’oo? ie tsy manasa fitàñe aolo te mihinañe.
"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
3 Le hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Akore te anjehara’ areo o tsaran’ Añahareo amo fèpè’ areoo?
"Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
4 ie linilin’ Añahare ty hoe: Iasio ty rae’o naho i rene’o, naho: Toe havetrake ze mandafa rae ndra rene.
For God said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
5 Fe hoe ty asa’ areo, Ze saontsie’ t’indaty aman-drae’e naho aman-drene’e ty amy ze ho nibanabana’e, le inao fa nengae’e ty amo tahi’eo, le malio-tahin-dre amy hakeo zay,
but you--this is what you say: 'If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me--
6 vaho tsy miasy rae ndra rene re, le fa tsambolitio’ areo o tsaran’ Añahareo amo fèpè’ areoo.
he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hankàñe, ty soamiatreke, Inao ty nitokia’ Isaia ty ama’ areo ami’ty hoe:
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
8 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mitotoke ahy am-palie’ ondaty retoa, naho miasy ahy am-pivimby, fe mitots’ amako ty arofo’ iareo,
"'This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while their heart is far away from Me;
9 vaho ty fañeveña’ iareo amako ro fampioha’ ondaty avao.
but it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'"
10 Tsinikao’ Iesoà i màroy, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Mijanjiña naho mañaraharà:
Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.
11 Tsy ty mizilike am-palie’e ao ty mahabote ondaty, fa ze miakatse am-palie’e ro mahativa ondaty.
It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth--that defiles a man."
12 Niheo mb’ama’e o mpiama’eo, nanao ty hoe: Fohi’o hao te nitorifike amy tsara zay o Fariseoo?
Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
13 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Fonga ho mongorañe ze hatae tsy nambolen-dRaeko an-dindiñe ao.
"Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
14 Apoho iereo, fa miaolo ty goa ty fey; ie tarihe’ t’indaty fey ty goa, songa hijoroboñe an-davake ao ie roe.
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit."
15 Tinoi’ i Petera: Abejaño ama’ay i tafatòño zay.
"Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
16 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà am’iareo: Mbe tsy maharendreke v’inahareoo?
"Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
17 Tsy fohi’ areo hao te ze hene mizilike am-palie ro migodañe an-troke ao vaho miakatse amy mahazatse añe?
Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
18 Fe ze miakatse am-palie le fa nihetsefe’ ty arofo, izay ty mahativa ondaty.
But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.
19 Amy te boak’ ami’ty troke ty iakara’ ty vetsevetse raty naho fañohofan-doza, naho fañarapiloañe, naho fidramotañe naho fikamerañe, naho fandañirañe vaho fiteraterañe.
For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
20 Toe songa mahativa ondaty, fe tsy mahativa ondaty ty fikamañe am-pitañe tsy sinasa.
These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."
21 Ie nagado’ Iesoà i tsara zay, le nañavelo mb’an-tane’ Tirò naho Sidoma añe.
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Le niheo mb’ ama’e ty rakemba nte-Kanana hirik’ an-tane’e añe, nikaike ama’e ty hoe: O Rañandria, Ana’ i Davide, tretrezo iraho fa volevolèn-kokolampa ty anako ampela.
Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, "Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed by a demon."
23 Tsy nanoiñe ndra tsara raike t’i Iesoà. Le niharinea’ o mpiama’eo, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Ino ty ifaria’o o rakemba mañorike antika an-koikeo?
But He answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed, and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps crying behind us."
24 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy nirahen-dRaho naho tsy amo añondry motso’ i anjomba’ Israeleio.
"I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He replied.
25 Le niambane ama’e i rakembay nanao ty hoe: O Rañandria imbao iraho.
Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.
26 Hoe t’i Iesoà ama’e: Tsy mete te alae’ t’indaty ty hane’ o keleia’eo hamahana’e amboa.
"It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 Hoe i rakembay, Beteke milintseñe ty mofo mifitafita boak’ am-pandambaña’ ty tompo’ iareo o amboao.
"Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables."
28 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: O Rakembao, ra’elahy ty fatokisa’o; hanoeñe ama’o i nihalalia’oy. Le nijangañe henane zay i anak-ampela’ey.
"O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.
29 Nienga t’i Iesoà, le nimb’ am pariparitse alafe’ i riake Galiliay mb’ ami’ty vohitse mb’eo. Ie nijohañe eo le
Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
30 nanjo ondaty maro nindreza’ o kepekeo, o angamaeo, o mikoletrao, naho ty ila’e maro; ie nihotrake am-pandia’e eo le nijangañe’e.
Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,
31 Nilatsà ondatio te nisaontsy o moañeo naho ninokitse o komboo vaho nahaisake o feio; songa nandrenge an’Andrianañahare.
so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to the God of Israel.
32 Kinanji’ Iesoà hitotoke aze o mpiama’eo, le hoe re: Ferenaiñako iereo, fa nitraoke amako ro’ andro boak’ amy nitsaha’ iareoy vaho tsy aman-ko kamaeñe, le tsy te hampañavelo iareo te mililitse ke hifoezapoezake an-dalañe ey.
But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road."
33 Aa hoe o mpiama’eo tama’e: Aia ty hitohàn-tika mofo an-jerezere-tane atoy haha-ànjañe o maro toañe?
"Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
34 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Fire ty mofo ama’ areo? Hoe iereo: Fito, naho fiañe tsiampeampe.
"How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."
35 Aa le nampiambesare’ Iesoà amy ahitsey i lahialeñey,
So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
36 Rinambe’e i vonga-mofo fito rey, nifolahe’e, naho natolo’e amo mpiama’eo vaho nazotso’ iereo am’ondatio.
and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.
37 Nikama iaby iereo le nianjañe vaho nahoroñe ami’ty hàroñe fito i nifitafitay.
And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
38 Efats’ arivo ty lahilahy nikama ey, mandikoatse izay o roakemba naho ajajao.
Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
39 Tampetse izay, nijon-dakañe t’i Iesoà vaho nipotitse an-tane Makedonia añe.
He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.
