Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
Ary Jesosy nilaza fanoharana taminy, fa tsy mety raha tsy mivavaka mandrakariva izy ka tsy reraka,
2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
dia nanao hoe: Nisy mpitsara tao an-tanàna anankiray, izay tsy natahotra an’ Andriamanitra, na mena-maso olona.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against 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 He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
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 bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
mba homeko rariny ihany io mpitondratena io, fa manahirana ahy izy, fandrao ho avy mandrakariva izy ka hampahasosotra ahy.
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Henoy izay lazain’ ilay mpitsara tsy marina.
7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with 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 avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he 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 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
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; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Nisy roa lahy niakatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly hivavaka, ny anankiray Fariseo, ary ny anankiray mpamory hetra.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
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 give tithes of all that I get.'
Mifady indroa isan-kerinandro aho; mandoa ny fahafolon-karena amin’ izay azoko rehetra aho.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a 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, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will 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 Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they 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 Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
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 tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way 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 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
Ary nisy mpanapaka anankiray nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked 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: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your 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, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
Ary hoy kosa izy: Izany rehetra izany dia efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.
22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. 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 these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Ary rehefa nandre izany ralehilahy, dia nalahelo loatra; fa nanan-karena dia nanan-karena izy.
24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches 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 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person 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 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
Ary izay nandre dia nanao hoe: Iza indray moa no azo hovonjena?
27 But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
Fa hoy Jesosy: Izay zavatra tsy hain’ ny olona dia hain’ Andriamanitra.
28 And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
Dia hoy Petera: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy izay nety ho anay ka nanaraka Anao.
29 He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, 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 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
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 up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Fa hatolotra ho amin’ ny jentilisa Izy, dia hataony fihomehezana sy hisetrasetrany sy hororany
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
ary hokapohiny sy hovonoiny, ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hitsangana Izy.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Nefa tsy nisy azony akory izany teny izany, fa nafenina taminy izy ka dia tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
35 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Ary raha Jesosy nanakaiky an’ i Jeriko, dia indro jamba anankiray nipetraka nangataka teo amoron-dalana.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
Ary raha nandre ny vahoaka mandalo izy, dia nanontany hoe: Inona izany?
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Jesosy avy any Nazareta no mandalo.
38 He called out, "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 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all 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 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, 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?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mahirata ny masonao; ny finoanao no efa nahavonjy anao.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised 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.
