Lioka 9
1 Ary Jesosy niantso ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy hankeo aminy ka nanome azy hery sy fahefana hamoaka ny demonia rehetra sy hahasitrana aretina.
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 Ary Izy naniraka ireo handeha hitory ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra sy hahasitrana ny marary.
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mitondra zavatra ho amin’ ny alehanareo, na tehina, na kitapom-batsy, na mofo, na vola, ary aza misy mitondra akanjo roa.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
4 Ary izay trano hidiranareo, dia ao no itoero, ary avy ao indray no ialao.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Ary izay tsy mampandroso, anareo, raha miala amin’ izany tanàna izany ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka ho afaka amin’ ny tongotrareo ho vavolombelona miampanga azy.
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6 Dia lasa nandeha izy ireo ka nitety vohitra nitory ny filazantsara sy nahasitrana teny tontolo eny.
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7 Ary Heroda mpanapaka nandre izay rehetra natao; dia very hevitra izy noho ny filazan’ ny olona; fa hoy ny sasany: Jaona no efa nitsangana tamin’ ny maty;
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 ary hoy ny sasany: Elia no efa niseho; fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Ny anankiray amin’ ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Fa hoy Heroda: Raha Jaona, dia izaho no efa nanapaka ny lohany; fa iza indray moa Izao, izay reko fa manao izany zavatra izany? Ary izy nitady hahita Azy.
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
10 Ary rehefa niverina ny Apostoly, dia nanambara tamin’ i Jesosy izay efa nataony. Ary Izy nitondra azy ka nandeha nitokana nankany amin’ ny tanàna atao hoe Betsaida.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
11 Ary ny vahoaka, nony nahalala, dia nanaraka Azy; ary Izy nandray azy tsara ka nilaza taminy ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra; ary izay marary dia nositraniny.
But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Ary nony efa ho hariva ny andro, dia nanatona ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravao ny vahoaka mba hankanesany eny amin’ ny vohitra manodidina sy any an-tsaha handry sy hitady hanina; fa atỳ an-tany foana isika.
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
13 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Omeonareo hanina izy. Ary hoy ireo: Tsy manana mihoatra noho ny mofo dimy sy hazandrano roa izahay, raha tsy handeha hividy hanina ho an’ ireo olona rehetra ireo.
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Fa tokony ho dimy arivo lahy izy. Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny mpianany: Asaovy mipetraka an-tokony izy ka tokony ho dimam-polo avy.
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Dia nataony izany, ka nampipetraka azy rehetra izy.
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Ary rehefa noraisin’ i Jesosy ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy, ka nanaovany fisaorana ireo, dia novakiny ka natolony ny mpianany harosony eny anoloan’ ny vahoaka.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 Dia nihinana izy rehetra ka voky; ary nangonina izay sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka nisy roa ambin’ ny folo harona.
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Ary raha nivavaka tao amin’ ny mangingina Jesosy, sady teo aminy ny mpianany, dia nanontany azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ataon’ ny olona ho iza moa Aho?
As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 Dia namaly ireo ka nanao hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; nefa ny sasany kosa manao Anao ho Elia, ary ny sasany indray manao hoe: Ny anankiray amin’ ny mpaminany fahiny no efa nitsangana.
They answered, “‘John the Baptiser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza? Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe: Ny Kristin’ Andriamanitra.
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Ary Izy niteny mafy azy sady nandrara azy mba tsy hilazalaza izany amin’ olona
But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 ka nanao hoe: Ny Zanak’ olona tsy maintsy hijaly mafy ka holavin’ ny loholona sy ny lohan’ ny mpisorona mbamin’ ny mpanora-dalàna sady hovonoiny; ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana.
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23 Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin’ izy rehetra: Raha misy ta-hanaraka Ahy, aoka izy handà ny tenany, dia hitondra ny hazo fijaliany isan’ andro ka hanaraka Ahy.
He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24 Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy dia hahavery izany; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko, dia izy no hamonjy izany.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25 Fa inona no soa azon’ ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao aza, kanefa very ny ainy, na matiantoka, izany izy?
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak’ olona, raha avy amin’ ny voninahiny sy ny an’ ny Rainy ary ny an’ ny anjely masìna.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Fa lazaiko aminareo tokoa: Misy ny sasany eto izay tsy mba hanandrana fahafatesana mandra-pahitany ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
28 Ary rehefa tokony ho havaloana taorian’ izany teny izany, dia nitondra an’ i Petera sy Jaona ary Jakoba Izy ka niakatra tany an-tendrombohitra hivavaka.
About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 Ary raha mbola nivavaka Izy, dia niova ny toetry ny tarehiny, ary ny fitafiany dia tonga fotsy sady nanelatrelatra.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Ary, indreo, nisy roa lahy niresaka taminy, dia Mosesy sy Elia,
Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 izay niseho tamin-boninahitra ka nilaza ny fialany, izay efa hefainy any Jerosalema.
who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Ary efa navesatry ny tory ny mason’ i Petera sy ny namany; nefa nahari-tory ihany izy, dia nahita ny voninahitr’ i Jesosy sy izy roa lahy izay teo aminy.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Ary tamin’ ny nisarahan’ izy roa lahy taminy dia hoy Petera tamin’ i Jesosy: Tompoko, tsara raha mitoetra eto isika; ary aoka izahay hanao tranolay telo: ny anankiray ho Anao, ny anankiray ho an’ i Mosesy, ary ny anankiray ho an’ i Elia; nefa tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34 Ary raha mbola niteny izany izy, dia nisy rahona niseho nanarona azy ireo; ary raha niditra tao anatin’ ny rahona ireo, dia raiki-tahotra ny mpianatra telo lahy.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Ary nisy feo avy tao amin’ ny rahona nanao hoe: Ity no Zanako voafidiko; Izy no henoy.
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
36 Ary rehefa nitsahatra ny feo, dia Jesosy irery ihany no hita. Ary nangina izy ireo ka tsy nilazalaza tamin’ olona na dia iray akory aza tamin’ izany andro izany ny amin’ izay zavatra efa hitany.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 Ary nony ampitson’ iny, raha nidina avy teo an-tendrombohitra izy ireo, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka nitsena an’ i Jesosy.
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anankiray avy teo amin’ ny vahoaka nitaraina mafy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, masìna Hianao, mamindrà fo amin’ ny zanako! fa zanako-lahy tokana izy.
Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
39 Ary, indro, misy fanahy mahazo azy, ka miantsoantso tampoka izy, ary ny fanahy mampifanintontsintona ny tenany sy mampandoa vory azy, ary sarotra ny fialany aminy ka mahatorotorovana azy.
Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Ary nangataka tamin’ ny mpianatrao aho mba hamoaka izany, fa tsy afany.
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
41 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ry taranaka sady tsy mino no efa nivadika, mandra-pahoviana no hitoerako aminareo sy handeferako aminareo? Ento etỳ ny zanakao.
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Ary raha mbola nanatona izy, dia nampihinjitrinjitra sy nampifanintontsintona azy ny demonia. Ary Jesosy niteny mafy ny fanahy maloto ka nahasitrana ny zazalahy; dia natolony tamin-drainy indray izy.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Dia talanjona izy rehetra noho ny fiandrianan’ Andriamanitra. Ny nilazan’ i Jesosy fanindroany ny hahafatesany sy ny hitsanganany indray. Fa raha talanjona izy rehetra tamin’ izay rehetra nataon’ i Jesosy, dia hoy Izy tamin’ ny mpianany:
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 Ampidironareo ao amin’ ny sofinareo izany teny izany; fa ny Zanak’ olona efa hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona.
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 Nefa tsy azon’ ny mpianatra io teny io sady nafenina azy izany mba tsy ho fantany; ary natahotra hanontany Azy ny amin’ io teny io izy.
But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Dia nisy fisainana niseho tao am-pony ny amin’ izay ho lehibe ao aminy.
An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.
47 Ary Jesosy nahalala ny fisainan’ ny fony, dia nandray zaza anankiray ka nametraka azy teo anoloany;
Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 ary hoy Izy tamin’ ireo: Na zovy na zovy no mandray io zaza io noho ny anarako dia mandray Ahy; ary na zovy na zovy no mandray Ahy dia mandray Izay naniraka Ahy; fa izay kely indrindra ao aminareo rehetra, dia izy no lehibe.
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least amongst you all, this one will be great.”
49 Ary Jaona namaly ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, izahay nahita anankiray namoaka demonia tamin’ ny anaranao, ka noraranay izy, satria tsy manaraka antsika.
John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
50 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aza raràna, fa izay tsy manohitra anareo dia momba anareo.
Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
51 Ary rehefa ho tonga ny fotoana hampiakarana an’ i Jesosy, dia niatrika hankany Jerosalema Izy.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
52 Ary nandefa iraka hialoha Azy Izy; dia nandeha ireo ka niditra tao amin’ ny vohitra anankiray izay an’ ny Samaritana hamboatra ho Azy.
and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 Fa tsy nandray Azy ny olona, satria nandroso toa ho any Jerosalema Izy.
They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 Ary raha hitan’ i Jakoba sy Jaona mpianany izany, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, tianao va raha hiteny izahay mba hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra handevona azy?
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55 Fa Izy nitodika, dia niteny mafy azy.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 Dia nankany amin’ ny vohitra hafa Izy.
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
57 Ary nony nandroso teny an-dalana izy, dia nisy anankiray nanao tamin’ i Jesosy hoe: Hanaraka Anao aho na aiza na aiza halehanao.
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
58 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny amboahaolo manan-davaka, ary ny voro-manidina manana fialofana; fa ny Zanak’ olona tsy mba manana izay hipetrahan’ ny lohany.
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59 Ary hoy Izy tamin’ ny anankiray koa: Manaraha Ahy. Fa hoy kosa izy: Tompoko, aoka aho aloha handeha handevina ny raiko.
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka ny maty handevina ny maty ao aminy; fa ianao kosa mandehana, ka mitoria ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Tompoko, hanaraka Anao ihany aho; fa aoka aho aloha handeha hanao veloma ny ao an-tranoko.
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
62 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy olona mitana fangady tarihina ary miherika ka miendrika ho ao amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
