Luke 18
1 And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
Ary Jesosy nilaza fanoharana taminy, fa tsy mety raha tsy mivavaka mandrakariva izy ka tsy reraka,
2 saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
dia nanao hoe: Nisy mpitsara tao an-tanàna anankiray, izay tsy natahotra an’ Andriamanitra, na mena-maso olona.
3 and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
Ary nisy mpitondratena tao amin’ izany tanàna izany, izay nankao aminy matetika ka nanao hoe: Omeo rariny aho amin’ ilay manana ady amiko.
4 And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
Ary tsy nanaiky izy aloha; fa rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao anakampo hoe izy: Na dia tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra aza aho sady tsy mena-maso olona,
5 at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
mba homeko rariny ihany io mpitondratena io, fa manahirana ahy izy, fandrao ho avy mandrakariva izy ka hampahasosotra ahy.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Henoy izay lazain’ ilay mpitsara tsy marina.
7 And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
Fa Andriamanitra tsy hanome rariny ny olom-boafidiny va, izay mitaraina aminy andro aman’ alina, ary moa hitaredretra va Izy?
8 I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
Lazaiko aminareo fa homeny rariny faingana izy. Kanefa, raha avy ny Zanak’ olona, moa hahita finoana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany va Izy?
9 And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:
Ary Jesosy nanao ity fanoharana ity tamin’ ny sasany izay natoky tena ho marina ka namingavinga ny hafa;
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
Nisy roa lahy niakatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly hivavaka, ny anankiray Fariseo, ary ny anankiray mpamory hetra.
11 The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
Ilay Fariseo nitsangana ka nivavaka nitokana hoe: Andriamanitra ô, misaotra Anao aho fa tsy mba tahaka ny olona sasany, izay mpanao an-keriny, tsy marina, mpijangajanga, na tahaka io mpamory hetra io aza.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
Mifady indroa isan-kerinandro aho; mandoa ny fahafolon-karena amin’ izay azoko rehetra aho.
13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
Fa ilay mpamory hetra kosa nijanona teny lavitra eny, sady tsy nety niandrandra ny lanitra akory, fa niteha-tratra ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, mamindrà fo amiko mpanota.
14 I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Lazaiko aminareo: Izany lehilahy izany nidina tany an-tranony efa nohamarinina noho ny anankiray; fa izay rehetra manandra-tena no haetry, ary izay rehetra manetry tena no hasandratra.
15 And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.
Ary nisy nitondra zazakely koa ho eo amin’ i Jesosy mba hotendreny; fa raha vao nahita izany ny mpianatra, dia nandrara azy.
16 But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
Fa Jesosy niantso ireo hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Avelao ny zaza hanatona Ahy, ary aza raràna; fa an’ ny toa azy ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
17 Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no ny handray ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra tahaka ny zaza, dia tsy ho tafiditra aminy akory.
18 And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Ary nisy mpanapaka anankiray nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.
Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Fantatrao ny didy hoe: Aza mijangajanga, Aza mamono olona, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga, Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao.
21 And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
Ary hoy kosa izy: Izany rehetra izany dia efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.
22 And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
Ary rehefa nandre izany Jesosy, dia hoy Izy taminy: Mbola diso zavatra iray loha ianao: amidio ny fanananao rehetra, ka zarao ho an’ ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia, manaraha Ahy.
23 But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
Ary rehefa nandre izany ralehilahy, dia nalahelo loatra; fa nanan-karena dia nanan-karena izy.
24 But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;
Ary Jesosy, raha nijery azy, dia nanao hoe: Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
25 for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hidiran’ ny rameva amin’ ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
26 And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
Ary izay nandre dia nanao hoe: Iza indray moa no azo hovonjena?
27 But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
Fa hoy Jesosy: Izay zavatra tsy hain’ ny olona dia hain’ Andriamanitra.
28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
Dia hoy Petera: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy izay nety ho anay ka nanaraka Anao.
29 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy olona izay efa nahafoy trano, na vady, na rahalahy, na ray, na reny, na zanaka, noho ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra,
31 And he took the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
Ary Jesosy naka ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika, dia ho tanteraka ny zavatra rehetra izay voasoratry ny mpaminany ny amin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
32 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
Fa hatolotra ho amin’ ny jentilisa Izy, dia hataony fihomehezana sy hisetrasetrany sy hororany
33 And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
ary hokapohiny sy hovonoiny, ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hitsangana Izy.
34 And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
Nefa tsy nisy azony akory izany teny izany, fa nafenina taminy izy ka dia tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
35 And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
Ary raha Jesosy nanakaiky an’ i Jeriko, dia indro jamba anankiray nipetraka nangataka teo amoron-dalana.
36 And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
Ary raha nandre ny vahoaka mandalo izy, dia nanontany hoe: Inona izany?
37 And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Jesosy avy any Nazareta no mandalo.
38 And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Dia niantso mafy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
39 And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Ary izay nandeha teny aloha dia niteny mafy azy mba hangina, fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
40 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],
Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nasainy ho entina eo aminy ralehilahy; ary rehefa mby akaiky izy, dia nanontany azy Jesosy
41 What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
42 And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mahirata ny masonao; ny finoanao no efa nahavonjy anao.
43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nahiratra ny masony, ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy izy sady nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra; ary ny vahoaka rehetra, raha nahita, dia nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
