Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ary tamin’ izany, raha niangona ny vahoaka betsaka tsy hita isa ka nifanitsaka, Jesosy dia niteny tamin’ ny mpianany aloha ka nanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon’ ny masirasiran’ ny Fariseo, dia ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Fa tsy misy nafenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Koa na inona na inona teneninareo ao amin’ ny maizina dia ho re eo amin’ ny mazava; ary izay bitsihinareo mangingina ao amin’ ny efi-trano dia hotorina eo amin’ ny tampon-trano.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ary lazaiko aminareo sakaizako hoe: Aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa nony afaka izany, dia tsy mahay manao mihoatra noho izany.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Fa hasehoko anareo izay hatahoranareo: Matahora Izay manam-pahefana hanary any amin’ ny helo, rehefa novonoiny; eny, hoy Izaho aminareo: Matahora Azy. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Tsy eranambatry va no vidin’ ny tsintsina dimy? nefa tsy misy hadinoina eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ireny na dia iray akory aza.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa. Aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no manaiky Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia heken’ ny Zanak’ olona kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra;
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Fa izay mandà Ahy eo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia holavina kosa izy eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Fa na zovy na zovy no hanao teny hanohitra ny Zanak’ olona dia hahazo famelan-keloka; fa izay miteny ratsy ny Fanahy Masìna dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Ary raha mitondra anareo ho ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny mpanapaka ary ny manam-pahefana izy, dia aza manahy izay havalinareo, na izay holazainareo;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
fa ny Fanahy Masìna no hampianatra anareo amin’ izany ora izany izay mety holazainareo.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Ary nisy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, teneno ny rahalahiko mba hizara lova amiko.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Fa hoy Izy taminy: Ralehilahy, iza no nanendry Ahy ho mpitsara na mpizara ao aminareo?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny olona: Mitandrema, ka miarova tena mba tsy ho azon’ ny fieremana ianareo; fa ny ain’ ny olona tsy miankina amin’ ny habetsahan’ ny zavatra ananany.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Dia nanao fanoharana taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tanin’ ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray nahavokatra be.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
Ary izy nihevitra tao am-pony hoe: Ahoana no hataoko, fa tsy manana fitoerana hamoriako ny vokatro aho?
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Ary hoy izy: Izao no hataoko: handrava ny trano fitehirizako aho ka hanao izay lehibebe kokoa, ary ao no hamoriako ny variko rehetra sy ny fananako.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Dia hilaza amin’ ny fanahiko hoe aho: Ry fanahy ô, manana fananana be voatahiry ho amin’ ny taona maro ianao; mitsahara, mihinàna, misotroa, mifalia.
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Fa Andriamanitra kosa nanao taminy hoe: Ry adala, anio alina no halaina aminao ny fanahinao, ka ho an’ iza izay zavatra noharinao?
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Toy izany izay mihary harena ho an’ ny tenany ihany, nefa tsy mba manan-karena ny amin’ Andriamanitra.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianany: Noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Aza manahy ny amin’ ny ainareo, izay hohaninareo, na ny amin’ ny tenanaren, izay hotafinareo.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Fa ny aina mihoatra noho ny hanina, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Hevero ny goaika; fa tsy mba mamafy na mijinja ireny; ary tsy manana fitoeran-javatra na trano fitehirizana, nefa Andriamanitra mamelona azy; tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny vorona va ianareo?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Ary iza moa ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro iainany, na dia kely monja aza?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Koa raha ny kely indrindra aza tsy hainareo, nahoana ianareo no manahy ny amin’ ny sisa?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Hevero ny fanirin’ ny voninkazo; tsy mba miasa na mamoly ireny; nefa lazaiko aminareo: Na dia Solomona teo amin’ ny voninahiny rehetra aza tsy mba nitafy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ireny.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Ary raha ny ahitra izay any an-tsaha anio, nefa hatao ao am-patana rahampitso, no ampitafin’ Andriamanitra toy izany, tsy mainka va ianareo ry kely finoana?
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Koa aza mitady izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo ianareo, ary aza miahanahana.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Fa ny jentilisa amin’ izao tontolo izao dia fatra-pitady izany rehetra izany; fa ny Rainareo mahalala fa tokony ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Kanefa katsaho ny fanjakany; dia hanampy ho anareo izany zavatra izany.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Aza matahotra, ry ondry vitsy, fa efa sitraky ny Rainareo ny hanome anareo ny fanjakana.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Amidio ny fanananareo, ka manaova fiantrana; manaova kitapom-bola tsy mety ho tonta ho anareo, dia harena any an-danitra tsy mety ho lany, izay tsy azon’ ny mpangalatra, sady tsy misy kalalao manimba.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Fa izay itoeran’ ny harenareo, dia ho any koa ny fonareo.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Aoka hisikina ny valahanareo sy hirehitra ny jironareo;
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny olona izay miandry ny tompony, raha mody avy amin’ ny fampakaram-bady izy, ka nony tonga sy mandondòna izy, dia vohany miaraka amin’ izay.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Sambatra ny mpanompo izay ho hitan’ ny tompony miambina, raha avy izy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hisikina ny tompony, dia hampipetraka azy hihinana, dia ho avy ka hanompo azy.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Ary na avy amin’ ny fiambenana faharoa amin’ ny alina izy, na avy amin’ ny fiambenana fahatelo, ka mahita toy izany, dia sambatra ireo mpanompo ireo.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Ary fantaro izao, fa raha fantatry ny tompon-trano izay ora hihavian’ ny mpangalatra, dia ho niambina izy ka tsy namela ny tranony hotamina.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Dia miomàna koa ianareo; fa ho avy ny Zanak’ olona amin’ izay ora tsy ampoizinareo.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Ary hoy Petera: Tompoko, izahay va no ilazanao izany fanoharana izany, sa ny olona rehetra?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Iza moa no mpitandri-draharaha mahatoky sy manan-tsaina, izay hotendren’ ny tompony hifehy ny mpanompony mba hanome azy anjara hanina amin’ ny fotoana?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Sambatra ny mpanompo Izay ho hitan’ ny tompony fa, indreo, manao toy izany, raha avy izy.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Lazaiko aminareo marina fa hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Fa raha manao anakampo kosa izany mpanompo izany hoe: Maharitra ela ny tompoko vao ho avy, ka dia mikapoka ny ankizilahy sy ny ankizivavy izy sady mihinana sy misotro ka mamo,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
dia ho avy ny tompon’ izany mpanompo izany amin’ ny andro izay tsy ampoiziny sy amin’ ny ora izay tsy fantany, dia hotapahiny roa izy ka homeny anjara any amin’ ny tsy mahatoky.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Fa ilay mpanompo izay mahalala ny sitrapon’ ny tompony ihany ka tsy miomana na manao izay sitraky ny fony dia hokapohina be.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Fa izay tsy nahalala kosa ka nanao izay zavatra tokony hikapohana azy dia hokapohina kely. Fa izay nomena be, dia be no hotadiavina aminy; ary izay nampitehirizina be, dia bebe kokoa no hadinina aminy.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Tonga hanipy afo etỳ ambonin’ ny tany Aho, ka manao ahoana ny faniriako mba hirehetan’ izany sahady?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Ary manana batisa hanaovana Ahy batisa Aho, ka manao ahoana ny fahoriako ambara-pahatanterahany!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Ataonareo va fa tonga hanome fihavanana ambonin’ ny tany Aho? Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo, fa fampisarahana.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Fa hatramin’ izao dia hisy dimy hisara-tsaina ao an-trano iray, ny telo hanohitra ny roa, ary ny roa hanohitra ny telo.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Hisara-tsaina ireo, ka ny ray hanohitra ny zananilahy, ary ny zanakalahy hanohitra ny rainy; ny reny hanohitra ny zananivavy, ary ny zanakavavy hanohitra ny reniny; ny rafozam-bavy hanohitra ny vinantoni-vavy, ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny vahoaka: Raha mahita rahona miposaka any andrefana ianareo, miaraka amin’ izay dia hoy ianareo: Ho avy ny ranonorana; dia tonga izany.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Ary raha avy any atsimo ny rivotra, dia hoy ianareo: Hafana ny andro; dia tonga izany.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
Hianareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, ny tarehin’ ny tany sy ny lanitra dia hainareo fantarina; fa ahoana kosa no tsy ahaizanareo mamantatra izao andro izao?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahalala mitsara araka ny marina?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Fa raha miara-mandeha amin’ ny manana ady aminao ianao hanatrika ny mpanapaka, raha mbola any an-dalana dia mazotoa manao izay hahafahanao aminy, fandrao hitondra anao any amin’ ny mpitsara izy, ary ny mpitsara hanolotra anao amin’ ny mpamatotra, ary ny mpamatotra hanao anao ao an-tranomaizina.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
