Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
Ary Jesosy nilaza fanoharana taminy, fa tsy mety raha tsy mivavaka mandrakariva izy ka tsy reraka,
2 "There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man.
dia nanao hoe: Nisy mpitsara tao an-tanàna anankiray, izay tsy natahotra an’ Andriamanitra, na mena-maso olona.
3 "In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of my 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 "For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for 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 woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
mba homeko rariny ihany io mpitondratena io, fa manahirana ahy izy, fandrao ho avy mandrakariva izy ka hampahasosotra ahy.
6 "Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says.
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Henoy izay lazain’ ilay mpitsara tsy marina.
7 "And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping them?
Fa Andriamanitra tsy hanome rariny ny olom-boafidiny va, izay mitaraina aminy andro aman’ alina, ary moa hitaredretra va Izy?
8 "I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he 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 Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
Ary Jesosy nanao ity fanoharana ity tamin’ ny sasany izay natoky tena ho marina ka namingavinga ny hafa;
10 "Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, 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 stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like 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 a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.’
Mifady indroa isan-kerinandro aho; mandoa ny fahafolon-karena amin’ izay azoko rehetra aho.
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O 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 tell you that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who 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 kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke 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 called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
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 "I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get 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 A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
Ary nisy mpanapaka anankiray nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but God.
Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.
20 "You know the commandments. "Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your 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 "All of these," he replied, "I have kept from my youth up."
Ary hoy kosa izy: Izany rehetra izany dia efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.
22 And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and 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 these words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly rich.
Ary rehefa nandre izany ralehilahy, dia nalahelo loatra; fa nanan-karena dia nanan-karena izy.
24 Jesus looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to 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 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle 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 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
Ary izay nandre dia nanao hoe: Iza indray moa no azo hovonjena?
27 "Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
Fa hoy Jesosy: Izay zavatra tsy hain’ ny olona dia hain’ Andriamanitra.
28 Then Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes and followed you."
Dia hoy Petera: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy izay nety ho anay ka nanaraka Anao.
29 And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
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 Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.
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 "He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
Fa hatolotra ho amin’ ny jentilisa Izy, dia hataony fihomehezana sy hisetrasetrany sy hororany
33 "and they will scourge and kill him; and the third day he will rise again."
ary hokapohiny sy hovonoiny, ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hitsangana Izy.
34 But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
Nefa tsy nisy azony akory izany teny izany, fa nafenina taminy izy ka dia tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
Ary raha Jesosy nanakaiky an’ i Jeriko, dia indro jamba anankiray nipetraka nangataka teo amoron-dalana.
36 He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
Ary raha nandre ny vahoaka mandalo izy, dia nanontany hoe: Inona izany?
37 They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Jesosy avy any Nazareta no mandalo.
38 Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!"
Dia niantso mafy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
39 Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity 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 So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him 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 want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
42 "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mahirata ny masonao; ny finoanao no efa nahavonjy anao.
43 Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who 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.
