Matio 9
1 HNijon-dakañe t’i Iesoà, le nimpoly mb’an-tanà’e mb’eo iereo.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Nendeseñe ama’e ty nisilofa’ ty hakepehañe nandre an-tihi’e eo; nivazoho’ Iesoà ty fatokisa’ iareo le hoe re am’ indaty silokey: Anake, misomoboha fa hinaha ty figahiñan’ Añahare o tahi’oo.
Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
3 Hoe ty nitsakorean’ arofo’ o androanavy ila’eo: Miteratera itìa.
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 Nioni’ Iesoà o vetsevetse’ iareo, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty aereñerea’ areo raty añ’arofo ao?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Ty aia ty mora volañeñe, ke ty hoe: Malio hakeo irehe, he ty hoe: Mitroara, mañaveloa?
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
6 Fe, ty hampahafohinañe anahareo te aman-dily an-tane atoy i Ana’ ondatiy hañaha tahiñe: le hoe re amy nisilokey: Mitroara, rambeso o tihi’oo vaho mañaveloa.
But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
7 Niongake re, nimpoly mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 Nahaisake i lahialeñey le loho nañeveñe vaho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare mpanolotse faozarañe hitoloñe hoe izay am’ondatio.
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
9 Ie nienga t’i Iesoà, le nahavazoho ondaty niambesatse am-pandambañam-pifampikaloan-drala eo; i Matio ty tahina’e. Le hoe re tama’e: Antao hañorike ahy. Aa le niongake re nañorike aze.
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
10 Nampihova’e añ’anjomba hikama, le ie nikama, intoa ty piaroteñe naho lo-tsereke maro am-pandambaña’e eo, le hehe t’ie nitrao-pikama amy Iesoà naho amo mpiama’eo.
And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
11 Nioni’ o Fariseoo zay le nanao ty hoe amo mpiama’eo: Ino ty itraofa’ i Talè’ areoy fikama amo piaroteñe naho borololoo?
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Jinanji’ Iesoà izay, le hoe re: Tsy o jangañeo ro mipay ho tahañe, fa o silokeo.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
13 Akia, tsatsiho hey i pinatetsey: Fiferenaiñañe ro paiako fa tsy soroñe; tsy nivotrake atoy iraho hañaha o vantañeo, fa o mpanan-tahiñeo.
But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
14 Le nomb’ama’e mb’eo o mpiamy Jaonao, nanao ty hoe: Manao akore te beteke mililitse zahay naho o Fariseoo, fe tsy mililitse o mpiama’oo?
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
15 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Tsy mahafirovetse ndra mililitse o mpiamy mpañengaio t’ie mbe am’iereo? Ho avy ty andro hanintahañe i mpañengay, izay iereo vaho hililitse.
"Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
16 Tsy eo ty mampianto ty ila’ ty sikiñe vao ami’ty tsorodea, amy te manibake i tsorodeay i takekey mañindra i riatsey.
No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
17 Mbore tsy añiliñañe divay vao ty zonjon-kolitse hambo’e, ke hipoñake i holitsey le hilongañe i divaiy, vaho hianto i holitsey; aiy! toe ailiñe an-jonjon-kolitse vao ty divay vao le songa mihaja i roroey.
Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
18 Ie sinaontsi’e izay, pok’eo ty roandriañe niambane ama’e, nihalaly ty hoe: O Talè, nisimba aniany i anak’ ampelakoy, ehe mihavia, hampitongoà’o fitàñe, hameloñ’aze.
While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19 Niongake t’i Iesoà le nimbeo, ie naho o mpiama’e ama’eo.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Intia, te nimb’am-boho’e ao nitsapa ty riran-tsarimbo’e ty rakemba nisilofe’ ty lio-lava folo taoñe ro’amby;
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 ie naereñère an-trok’ao ty hoe: Ndra te i saro’ey avao ty paoheko, le ho haha amy zao.
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Nitolike t’i Iesoà le nanoa’e ty hoe: Misomobòha anako, ty aman’ Añahare, andriañen-dre, fa nahajangañ’ azo o fatokisa’oo. Nijangañe amy oray avao re.
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23 Ie nizilike añ’anjomba’ i roandriañey ao, le nahavazoho ondaty maro nandala,
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 le nanoa’e ty hoe: Miavota iaby, vaho ko mirovetse, miroro i ajajampelay fa tsy simba. Fe natao’ iareo ho ondaty misole, le hoe iereo, Tsy nitrean-tika hao t’ie nirobake?
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Aa ie nakare’ Iesoà alafe ao, le niheo mb’ama’e re nitsapa ty taña’e vaho nitroatse i ajajampelay.
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26 Niboele amy tane iabiy i talily zay.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 Nisitake t’i Iesoà, le nihitrihitry mb’ama’e ty fey roe nikaikaike ty hoe: Tretrezo zahay, ry Ana’ i Davide.
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
28 Ie avy amy anjombay, le nisitsitse mb’ama’e i fey rey, naho nanoa’e ty hoe:
And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
29 Hampijangañe anahareo ty fatokisa’ areo.
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 Niboleake amy zao o fihaino’ indaty roe reio vaho nahaisake; nafanto’ Iesoà am’iareo ty hoe: Asoao tsy ho fohiñe i raha zay.
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Niavotse mb’eo amy zao iereo nanitsike i taney, haharendrehae’e aze.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 Nienga t’i Iesoà, le nasese mb’ ama’e t’indaty moañe niangara’ ty kokolampa.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 Naria’e i kokolampay le nisaontsy i moañey. Nilatsa i lahialeñey, nanao ty hoe: Mbe lia’e tsy niisan-tika e Israele atoa ty manahake zao.
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34 Hoe o Fariseoo: Toe i talèn-kokolampay ty añaria’e anga-draty.
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35 Niariary mb’amo rova naho tanàñe iabio re nañoke amo fitontona’ iareoo, naho nitaroñe i talili-soay naho nañafake ze hene areteñe vaho ze atao halemeañe.
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 Nivazoho’ Iesoà i lahialeñey, le niferenaiña’e, amy t’ie nifoezapoezake, nandrenàndre ey hoe añondry tsy amam-piarake.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37 Le hoe re amo mpiama’eo: Maro o ampemba mizorazora eio, fe tsy ampe o mpanatakeo.
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 Aa le halalio t’i Talè’ o mahakama mizorazorao ty hañiraha’e mpanatake maro hanatake o ampemba’eo.
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
