Lioka 11
1 Ary Jesosy nivavaka tao amin’ ny fitoerana iray, ka rehefa nitsahatra Izy, dia hoy ny mpianany anankiray taminy: Tompoko, mampianara anay hivavaka, tahaka ny nampianaran’ i Jaona ny mpianany.
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”
2 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Raha mivavaka ianareo, dia ataovy hoe: Ray ô hohamasinina anie ny anaranao. Ho tonga anie ny fanjakanao.
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Omeo anay isan’ andro izay hanina sahaza ho anay.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Ary mamelà ny helokay; fa izahay koa mamela izay rehetra meloka aminay. Ary aza mitondra anay ho amin’ ny fakam-panahy.
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Iza moa aminareo no manana sakaiza, izay hankeo aminy mamatonalina ka hanao aminy hoe: Ry sakaiza, ampisambory mofo telo aho;
He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 fa ny sakaizako nandeha tamin’ ny nalehany, dia tonga atsy amiko, ka tsy misy izay hafahako azy;
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 ary ilay ao an-trano kosa hamaly ka hanao hoe: Aza manahirana ahy; fa efa mihidy ny varavarana izao, ary ny zanako mandry eto am-pandriana eto amiko; tsy afaka hifoha hanome anao aho?
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
8 Hoy Izaho aminareo: Na dia tsy hiainga hanome azy noho ny fisakaizana aza izy, dia hifoha ihany izy noho ny fitarainany fatratra ka hanome azy izay ilainy.
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 Ary hoy izaho aminareo: Mangataha, dia homena ianareo; mitadiava, dia hahita ianareo; dondony, dia hovohana ianareo.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10 Fa izay rehetra mangataka no mahazo; ary izay mitady no mahita; ary izay mandondòna no hovohana.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Fa iza moa aminareo izay ray, raha angatahan’ ny zanany mofo, no hanome azy vato? ary raha angatahany hazandrano, no hanome azy menarana ho solon’ ny hazandrano?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 ary raha angatahany atody, no hanome azy maingoka?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Koa raha ianareo, na dia ratsy aza, mahalala hanome zava-tsoa ho an’ ny zanakareo, tsy mainka va ny Ray, Izay any an-danitra, no hanome ny Fanahy Masìna ho an’ izay mangataka aminy?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14 Ary Jesosy namoaka demonia moana. Ary rehefa nivoaka ny demonia, dia niteny ilay moana; ka dia gaga ny vahoaka.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 Fa hoy ny sasany; Belzeboba, lohan’ ny demonia, no amoahany ny demonia.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Fa ny sasany kosa naka fanahy Azy ka nangataka famantarana taminy avy any an-danitra.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Fa Izy nahalala ny heviny, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ho foana ny fanjakana rehetra izay miady an-trano; ary ho rava ny ankohonana izay miady an-trano.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Ary raha Satana koa aza no miady an-trano, ahoana no haharetan’ ny fanjakany? Fa hoy ianareo: Belzeboba no amoahako ny demonia.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Fa raha Izaho mamoaka demonia amin’ ny herin’ i Belzeboba, dia amin’ ny herin’ iza kosa no amoahan’ ny zanakareo azy? koa amin’ izany dia ho mpitsara anareo ireo.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Fa raha ny rantsan-tànan’ Andriamanitra no amoahako ny demonia, dia tonga aminareo tokoa ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Raha ny mahery mivonona amin’ ny fiadiany no miaro ny tranony, dia tsy haninona ny fananany.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Fa raha avy kosa izay mahery noho izy ka mandresy azy, dia alainy ny fiadiany rehetra izay nitokiany, ary izay azony ho babo dia zarainy.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 Izay tsy momba Ahy dia manohitra Ahy; ary izay tsy miara-mamory amiko dia manahaka.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 Raha mivoaka amin’ ny olona ny fanahy maloto, dia mandeha mitety ny tany tsy misy rano izy, mitady fitsaharana; ary rehefa tsy mahita, dia hoy izy: Hody any an-tranoko izay nivoahako aho.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 Ary nony tonga izy, dia hitany fa voafafa sy voavoatra ny trano.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Ary dia mandeha izy ka mitondra fanahy fito hafa koa ratsy noho izy; dia miditra ireo ka mitoetra ao; ary ny faran’ izany olona izany dia ratsy noho ny voalohany.
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Ary raha nilaza izany Jesosy, dia nisy vehivavy anankiray teo amin’ ny vahoaka niantso ka nanao taminy hoe: Sambatra ny kibo izay nitondra Anao sy ny nono izay ninonoanao.
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 Fa Izy nanao hoe: Eny tokoa, kanefa mainka sambatra aza ny mihaino ny tenin’ Andriamanitra ka mitandrina izany.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 Ary raha mbola niangona ny vahoaka betsaka, dia nilaza hoe Izy: Ity taranaka ity dia taranaka ratsy. Mitady famantarana izy; nefa tsy hisy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy ny famantarana ny amin’ i Jona;
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Fa tahaka an’ i Jona izay famantarana tamin’ ny Ninivita, dia ho toy izany koa ny Zanak’ olona amin’ ity taranaka ity.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 Ny mpanjakavavy avy tany atsimo dia hiara-mitsangana amin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ity taranaka ity amin’ ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa avy tany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany izy hihaino ny fahendren’ i Solomona; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Solomona eto.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 Ny olona tany Ninive hiara-mitsangana amin’ ity taranaka ity amin’ ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy, fa izy nibebaka tamin’ ny nitorian’ i Jona teny; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Jona eto.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 Tsy misy olona mandrehitra jiro ka mametraka azy ao an-davaka, na ao ambanin’ ny vata famarana, fa apetrany eo amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro izy, mba ho hitan’ izay miditra ny mazava.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 Ny masonao no jiron’ ny tena; koa raha tsara ny masonao, dia mazava ny tenanao rehetra; fa raha ratsy izy, dia maizina koa ny tenanao.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Koa tandremo, fandrao maizina ny mazava izay ao anatinao.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 Ary amin’ izany, raha mazava ny tenanao rehetra, ka tsy misy maizina, dia hazava avokoa izy rehetra, tahaka ny jiro raha mirehitra tsara ka manazava anao.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37 Ary raha mbola niteny Jesosy, dia nisy Fariseo nampiantrano Azy hisakafo ao aminy; dia niditra Izy ka nipetraka nihinana.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Fa gaga ilay Fariseo, raha nahita fa tsy nisasa Izy vao nihinana.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Fa hoy ny Tompo taminy: Ankehitriny ianareo Fariseo dia manadio ny vohon’ ny kapoaka sy ny lovia, nefa ny ao anatinareo kosa dia feno rombaka sy faharatsiana.
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Ry adala! Tsy izay nanao ny vohony va no nanao ny atiny koa?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Fa ny zavatra eo anatiny no aoka homenareo ho fiantrana, dia, indro, madio ho anareo ny zavatra rehetra.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 Fa lozanareo, Fariseo! fa mandoa ny fahafolon’ ny solila sy ny rota ary izay anana famboly rehetra ianareo, nefa lalovanareo ny fitsarana sy ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra; ireto tokony ho nataonareo, nefa tsy tokony havelanareo ireroana.
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Lozanareo, Fariseo! fa tia ny fipetrahana aloha ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny fiarahabana any an-tsena ianareo.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Lozanareo, fa ianareo dia tahaka ny fasana tsy hita, ka tsy fantatry ny olona izay manitsaka azy.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny mpahay lalàna namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, raha miteny izany Hianao, dia manala baraka anay koa.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 Fa hoy Jesosy: Lozanareo, mpahay lalàna koa! fa mampitondra ny olona entana sarotra entina ianareo, nefa tsy manendry izany entana izany akory ianareo, na dia amin’ ny rantsan-tananareo iray aza.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Lozanareo! fa manao ny rarivatom-pasan’ ny mpaminany ianareo, nefa ny razanareo ihany no namono azy.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Dia vavolombelona ianareo ka manaiky ny asan’ ny razanareo; fa izy no namono azy, ary ianareo kosa manao ny rarivatom-pasany.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Koa izany no nanambaran’ ny fahendren’ Andriamanitra hoe: Haniraka mpaminany sy apostoly ho any aminy Aho, ka ny sasany hovonoiny, ary ny sasany henjehiny,
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 mba hadinina amin’ ity taranaka ity ny ran’ ny mpaminany rehetra izay nalatsaka hatramin’ ny nanorenana izao tontolo izao,
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 dia hatramin’ ny ran’ i Abela ka hatramin’ ny ran’ i Zakaria, izay novonoina teo anelanelan’ ny alitara sy ny tempoly. Eny, lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hadinina amin’ ity taranaka ity izany.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Lozanareo, mpahay lalàna! satria nalainareo ny fanalahidin’ ny fahalalana; ianareo tsy niditra, ary izay te-hiditra dia nosakananareo.
Woe to you Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Ary raha niala teo Izy, dia noteren’ ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo fatratra sady nadinadininy zavatra maro.
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 Dia nihendry Azy izy ireo hamandrihany Azy tamin’ ny teny naloaky ny vavany.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
