Luke 18
1 And He spoke a parable to them that it behooves them to pray always, and not to faint;
Ary Jesosy nilaza fanoharana taminy, fa tsy mety raha tsy mivavaka mandrakariva izy ka tsy reraka,
2 saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city, fearing not God, and regarding not 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 continued to come to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
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 was not willing for a time: but after these things he said in himself, Though I fear not God nor regard 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 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, lest coming forever she may smite me in the face.
mba homeko rariny ihany io mpitondratena io, fa manahirana ahy izy, fandrao ho avy mandrakariva izy ka hampahasosotra ahy.
6 But the Lord said, I fear what the unjust judge says.
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Henoy izay lazain’ ilay mpitsara tsy marina.
7 And shall not God avenge His elect, crying to Him day and night, and He is long-suffering over 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. Moreover the Son of man having come, will He then find faith upon 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 this parable to certain ones having confidence in themselves that they are righteous, and despising the rest.
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 publican.
Nisy roa lahy niakatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly hivavaka, ny anankiray Fariseo, ary ny anankiray mpamory hetra.
11 The Pharisee standing was praying in these words, God, I thank thee because I am not like the rest of the men, extortioners, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican:
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 per week; I give tithes of all things so many as I possess.
Mifady indroa isan-kerinandro aho; mandoa ny fahafolon-karena amin’ izay azoko rehetra aho.
13 But the publican, standing a great way off, did not wish even to lift up his eyes to the heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to 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, He went down to his house justified rather than the other: because every one exalting himself shall be abased; and the one humbling 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 were indeed bringing the infants to Him, that He should touch them: but the disciples seeing 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 And Jesus calling them to Him, said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: 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 Truly I say unto you, whosoever may not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, can not enter into it.
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 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good, except One, God.
Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.
20 You know the commandments, thou must not commit adultery, thou must not murder, thou must not steal, thou must not bear false witness, honor thy father and 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 Jesus hearing these things, said to him, Still one thing is lacking to thee: Sell all things whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: 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 And hearing these things, he went away very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.
Ary rehefa nandre izany ralehilahy, dia nalahelo loatra; fa nanan-karena dia nanan-karena izy.
24 Jesus seeing him said, How hardly will those having 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 go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go 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 hearing said, And who is able to be saved?
Ary izay nandre dia nanao hoe: Iza indray moa no azo hovonjena?
27 And He said, Those things which 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 followed thee.
Dia hoy Petera: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy izay nety ho anay ka nanaraka Anao.
29 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
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 taking the twelve aside, He said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things which have been written by the prophets shall be perfected to the Son of man.
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 will be delivered to the Gentiles; and be mocked, and insulted, and spat upon:
Fa hatolotra ho amin’ ny jentilisa Izy, dia hataony fihomehezana sy hisetrasetrany sy hororany
33 and having scourged Him, they will kill Him; and He will arise the third day.
ary hokapohiny sy hovonoiny, ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hitsangana Izy.
34 And they understood none of these things; and this word was hidden from them, and they did not know the things spoken.
Nefa tsy nisy azony akory izany teny izany, fa nafenina taminy izy ka dia tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
35 And it came to pass, while He was drawing nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.
Ary raha Jesosy nanakaiky an’ i Jeriko, dia indro jamba anankiray nipetraka nangataka teo amoron-dalana.
36 And hearing the multitude passing by, he inquired what it might be.
Ary raha nandre ny vahoaka mandalo izy, dia nanontany hoe: Inona izany?
37 And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene is going along.
Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Jesosy avy any Nazareta no mandalo.
38 And he cried out saying, Jesus, thou 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 the passersby continued to rebuke him, that he should keep silent: but he continued to cry out much more, O thou 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 standing, commanded him to be led to Him; and he drawing nigh, He asked him,
Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nasainy ho entina eo aminy ralehilahy; ary rehefa mby akaiky izy, dia nanontany azy Jesosy
41 What do you wish that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may look up.
ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
42 And Jesus said to him, Look up: thy faith hath saved thee.
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mahirata ny masonao; ny finoanao no efa nahavonjy anao.
43 And immediately he looked up, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, seeing, 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.
