Matthew 10
1 Calling his twelve Disciples to him, Jesus gave them authority over foul spirits, so that they could drive them out, as well as the power of curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
Tsinikao’ Iesoà i mpiama’e folo ro’amby rey naho nomea’e lily amo anga-draty iabio, hañariañe irezay, vaho hampijangañe ze hene hasilofañe naho ze arete-mandrambañe.
2 The names of the twelve apostles are these, First Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Zao ty tahina’ i folo ro’amby nitokaveñe Firaheñe rey: I Simona atao Petera, naho i Andrea rahalahi’e;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-gather; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
i Filipo naho i Bartolomeo; Iakobe naho i Jaona rahalahi’e ana’ i Zebedeele; i Tomasy naho i Mat’tý, ie nifohiñe ho mpampisongo mpangalak’ana’e; Iakobe ana’ i Alofey naho i Tereose;
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot – the apostle who betrayed him.
i Simona nte Kanana, vaho i Joda Askareiotà nifotetse azey.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out as his messengers, after giving them these instructions – ‘Do not go to the Gentiles, nor enter any Samaritan town,
Nirahe’ Iesoà i folo ro’amby rezay le nafanto’e ami’ty hoe: Ko mañavelo mb’an-tane’ o kilakila ondatio, vaho ko migodañe mb’ an-drova’ o nte Samariao.
6 but make your way rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
Akia mb’amo añondry nandrike amy anjomba’ Israeleio.
7 On your way proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Taroño am’iereo te ho heneke i fifehean-dikerañey.
8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, make the lepers clean, drive out demons. You have received free of cost, give free of cost.
Jangaño o marareo, ampolio amo vilasio ty haveloñe, liovo o angamaeo, mañaria kokolampa; le ko mandrambe sara, fa am-patarihañe ty nahazoa’ areo, matariha ka.
9 Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or coins in your purses;
Ko mamotry vola-mena ndra vola-foty; ndra vara an-kontra’ areo;
10 not even with a bag for the journey, or a change of clothes, or sandals, or even a staff; for the worker is worth his food.
ndra sikiñe halimbe, ndra hana, ndra kobaiñe am-pita’areo; amy te mañeva rima mahaeneñe ty mpièke.
11 Whatever town or village you visit, find out who is worthy in that place, and remain there until you leave.
Amy ze tanàñe ndra rova iziliha’ areo, añontaneo, ia t’indaty vañoñe ama’e, le mitambara ao ampara’ te mienga.
12 As you enter the house, greet it.
Ie mizilike añ’anjomba ao, ampanintsiño ami’ty hoe: Hanintsiñe ty anjomba toy, naho Fañanintsiñe amy ze hene mpimoneñe ama’e.
13 Then, if the house is worthy, let your blessing rest on it, but, if it is unworthy, let your blessing return on yourselves.
Ie mañeva i anjombay, le ho ama’e i fañanintsi’ areoy, f’ie tsy mañeva le himpoly ama’ areo i fañanintsi’ areoy.
14 If no one welcomes you, or listens to what you say, as you leave that house or that town, shake off its dust from your feet.
Naho eo ty tsy mampihova, tsy mañaoñe anahareo, le avoto i anjombay vaho ahintsaño ty deboke am-pandia’ areo.
15 I tell you, the doom of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah will be more bearable in the day of judgment than the doom of that town.
Eka! to t’itaroñako te soa ho a i Sodoma naho i Gomora amy andro zay te amy rovay.
16 ‘Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes, and as blameless as doves.
Inao, ahitriko hoe añondry añivo amboa-romotse nahareo; aa le mahihira hoe mereñe vaho manoa hatso-pon-deho.
17 Be on your guard against others, for they will betray you to courts of law, and scourge you in their synagogues;
Itaò ondatio, fa tsy am-pivori’ iareo naho amo anjomba fitontona’ iareoo ty aneseañe anahareo,
18 and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake so that you may witness for me before them and the nations.
fa amo mpifeheo naho amo mpanjakao, hahafitaroña’ areo ahy am’ iereo naho amo kilakila’ondatio.
19 Whenever they betray you, do not be anxious as to how you will speak or what you will say, for what you will say will be given you at the moment;
Ie tsepahe’ iereo, ko aliheñe amy ze ho saontsie’ areo, fa hatolotse amy ora paiañe azey ty ho saontsie’ areo.
20 for it will not be you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks within you.
Tsy inahareo ty hisaontsy, fa i Arofo-Masin-dRaekoy ty hitsara añama’areo.
21 Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;
Hasesen-drahalahy ty rahalahi’e havetrake, naho ty rae ty ana’e; hitroatse aman-droae’e o anakeo, haneseke iareo ho koromaheñe.
22 and you will be hated by everyone because of me. Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
Ho fañinjeañe naho fañembañañe amy ze hene fifeheañe nahareo ty ami’ty añarako, fa ze mahafeake pak’ amy figadoñañe nifantañañey ty ho rombaheñe.
23 But, when they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for, I tell you, you will not have come to the end of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Ie horidañeñe ami’ty rova toy, mitribaña an-day mb’ami’ty ila’e. Eka! to t’itaroñako te, tsy ho tsitsi’ areo o rova’ Israeleo ampara’ te totsake i Ana’ ondatiy.
24 A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Tsy ambone’ i talè’ey ty mpiòke, naho tsy ambone’ i tompo’ey ty ondevo.
25 It is enough for a student to be treated like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
Mahaeneñe i mpiokey te ho hambañe amy talè’ey, naho te hanahake i tompo’ey ty mpitoroñe. Aa naho natao’ iereo Baalzebobe i talèn’ anjombay, àntsake o ana’ i anjomba’eio.
26 Do not, therefore, be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden which will not become known.
Ko ihembañañe, amy te tsy eo ty tsy haboake ndra mietake ze tsy hampahafohinañe.
27 What I tell you in the dark, say again in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Ze itaroñako añ’ieñe ao, isaontsio an-kazavàñe ey; naho ze janji’areo an-dravembia, itseizo an-dalambey.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; rather be afraid of him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Ko mirevendreveñe amo mpamono sandriñeo f’ie tsy maha-vono arofo. Te mone eveño i maharotsake troke naho sandriñe an-tsikeokeok’ aoy. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a one copper coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.
Tsy aletake drala raike hao ty foly roe? Fe leo raike ama’e tsy hipoke an-tane naho tsy satrien-dRae’areo an-dindiñe ao.
30 While as for you, even the hairs of your head are numbered.
Tsy fa niaheñe iaby hao ze maroin’ añambone’ areo?
31 Do not, therefore, be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Ko mahimahiñe, ie lombolombo’ o folio.
32 Everyone, therefore, who will publicly acknowledge me, I, too, will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
Ze mañonjoñe ahy añatrefa’ ondatio, ty honjoneko añatrefan-dRaeko andindìñ’ ao.
33 but, if anyone publicly disowns me, I, too, will disown him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 ‘Do not imagine that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have come to bring, not peace, but the sword.
Ko atao’ areo te niavy hanese fañanintsiñe an-tane atoy raho; tsy niavy hanese fañanintsiñe fa fibara.
35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Ty hampiavakavahañe ondatio ty nivotrahako atoy, ty ana-dahy aman-drae’e, ty anak-ampela aman-drene’e, ty vinanto-ampela aman-drafoza ampela’e
36 A person’s enemies will be the members of their own household.
Ho rafelahi’ondaty o kokoa’eo,
37 Anyone who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Tsy mañeva ahy ze mikoko rae ndra rene mandikoatse ahy, naho tsy mañeva ahy ze mikoko ana-dahy ndra anak-ampela mandikoatse ahy,
38 Anyone who does not take their cross and follow in my steps is not worthy of me.
Tsy mañeva ahy ze tsy mandrambe i hatae ajale’ey vaho mañorik’ ahy.
39 The person who has found their life will lose it, while the person who, for my sake, has lost their life will find it.
Ze mpitea havelo ro hañanto aze, fe ho tendreke amy ze mamoe’ay ty amako.
40 ‘Anyone who welcomes you is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger.
Ze mandrambe anahareo, mandrambe ahy, naho ze mandrambe ahy mandrambe i nañirake Ahiy.
41 The person who welcomes a prophet, because they are a prophet, will receive a prophet’s reward; and anyone who welcomes a good person, because they are a good person, will receive a good person’s reward.
Ze mandrambe mpitoky ami’ty tahina’ ty mpitoky, ro handrambe ty tambem-pitoky; ze mandrambe ty vañoñe ami’ty tahina’ ty vañoñe ro handrambe ty tambe’ i vañoñey.
42 And, if anyone gives but a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because they are a disciple, I tell you that they will assuredly not lose their reward.’
Ze manjotso rano manintsiñe am-pitovy ami’ty raike amo kedeke retoa ami’ty tahina’ ty Firaheko, Eka! to t’ivolañako t’ie tsy mbia ho motso tambe.
