Lioka 14
1 Ary raha niditra mba hihinana tao an-tranon’ ny loholona anankiray amin’ ny Fariseo Izy tamin’ ny Sabata, dia nizaha taratra Azy ireo.
And it happened that, when Jesus entered the house of a certain leader of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were observing him.
2 Ary, indro, nisy olona manirano anankiray teo anatrehany.
And behold, a certain man before him was afflicted with edema.
3 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao tamin’ ny mpahay lalàna sy ny Fariseo hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin’ ny Sabata, sa tsia?
And responding, Jesus spoke to the experts in the law and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?”
4 Fa tsy niteny ireo. Ary Izy nanendry ilay marary, dia nahasitrana azy ka nandefa azy handeha.
But they kept silent. Yet truly, taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away.
5 Ary Izy nanao tamin’ ireo hoe: Iza moa aminareo, raha manana boriky na omby latsaka ao an-davaka fantsakana, no tsy hampakatra azy miaraka amin’ izay na dia amin’ ny andro Sabata aza?
And responding to them, he said, “Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, and will not promptly pull him out, on the day of the Sabbath?”
6 Ary tsy nahavaly ny amin’ izany zavatra izany izy.
And they were unable to respond to him about these things.
7 Ary Jesosy nanao fanoharana tamin’ izay nasaina, raha nahita azy mifidy ny fitoerana aloha, ka nanao taminy hoe:
Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
8 Raha misy maka anao ho any amin’ ny fampakaram-bady, aza mipetraka eo amin’ ny fitoerana aloha, fandrao hisy olona nalaina izay mihaja kokoa noho ianao,
“When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.
9 ary ho avy izay nanasa anao sy izy ka hilaza aminao hoe: Omeo toerana io olona io: dia ho menatra ianao ka hifindra ho any amin’ ny fitoerana aoriana indrindra.
And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.
10 Fa raha misy manasa anao, mandehana ka mipetraha eo amin’ ny fitoerana aoriana indrindra, ary rehefa tonga ilay nanasa anao, dia mahazo manao aminao hoe: Ry sakaiza, mandrosoa etsy alohaloha kokoa; dia hahazo haja eo imason’ izay rehetra miara-mipetraka mihinana aminao ianao.
But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.
11 Fa izay rehetra manandra-tena no haetry; ary izay manetry tena no hasandratra.
For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
12 Ary hoy Jesosy tamin’ ilay nanasa Azy kosa: Raha manasa olona amin’ ny sakafo antoandro na ny sakafo hariva ianao, dia aza ny sakaizanao, na ny rahalahinao, na ny havanao, na ny namanao manan-karena, no asainao, fandrao hanasa anao kosa ireo, ka dia ho voavaliny ianao.
Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.
13 Fa raha manao fanasana ianao, dia asao ny malahelo, ny kilemaina, ny mandringa, ny jamba;
But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.
14 dia ho sambatra ianao, satria tsy mba manan-kavaly ireo; fa hovaliana kosa ianao amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny marina.
And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”
15 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ izay niara-nipetraka nihinana taminy dia nandre izany ka nanao taminy hoe: Sambatra izay hihinan-kanina ao amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”
16 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nisy olona anankiray nanao fanasana lehibe ka nanasa olona maro.
So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many.
17 Ary naniraka ny mpanompony izy tamin’ ny fotoana fisakafoana hilaza amin’ izay efa nasaina hoe: Andeha, fa efa voavoatra izao ny fanasana.
And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready.
18 Fa izy rehetra dia nitovy saina, ka samy nanao fialàna. Hoy ny voalohany taminy: Efa nividy tany aho ka tsy maintsy mandeha hizaha azy; masìna ianao, ekeo ny fandavako.
And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’
19 Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nividy omby folo aho ka handeha hamantatra azy; masìna ianao, ekeo ny fandavako.
And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’
20 Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nampaka-bady aho, koa amin’ izany tsy afaka mankany.
And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go.’
21 Ary nony tonga ilay mpanompo, dia nambarany tamin’ ny tompony izany. Dia tezitra ny tompon-trano ka nanao tamin’ ilay mpanompony hoe: Mandehana faingana ho eny amin’ ny lalambe sy ny sakeli-dalana eto an-tanàna, ka ampidiro ny malahelo sy ny kilemaina sy ny jamba ary ny mandringa.
And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’
22 Ary hoy ilay mpanompo: Tompoko, efa natao izay nandidianao, ary mbola tsy feno ihany ny trano.
And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’
23 Ary hoy ny tompo tamin’ ilay mpanompony: Mandehana ho eny amin’ ny lalambe sy ny sisim-boly, ka tereo ny olona hiditra, mba ho feno ny tranoko.
And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled.
24 Fa lazaiko aminareo: Tsy hisy hanandrana ny nahandroko ireny olona nasaiko ireny na dia iray akory aza.
For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’”
25 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka niaraka tamin’ i Jesosy, dia nitodika Izy ka nanao taminy hoe:
Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:
26 Raha misy manaraka Ahy ka tsy mankahala ny rainy sy ny reniny sy ny vadiny sy ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny sy ny anabaviny, eny, ary ny ainy koa aza, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro izy.
“If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.
27 Na zovy na zovy no tsy mitondra ny hazo fijaliana ka tsy manaraka Ahy, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro izy.
And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.
28 Fa iza moa aminareo, raha ta-hanao tilikambo, no tsy mipetraka aloha mihevitra izay ho lany hanaovany izany, na misy hahavitany azy, na tsia?
For who among you, wanting to build a tower, would not first sit down and determine the costs that are required, to see if he has the means to complete it?
29 fandrao, rehefa nanao ny fanorenana izy ka tsy mahavita, dia handatsa azy izay rehetra mahita
Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,
30 ka hanao hoe: Io olona io dia nanomboka nanao trano, fa tsy nahavita.
saying: ‘This man began to build what he was not able to finish.’
31 Ary iza moa no mpanjaka, raha handeha hiady amin’ ny mpanjaka hafa, no tsy mipetraka aloha mba haka hevitra tsara, na mahay mandresy ilay mitondra roa alina amin’ ny iray alina izy, na tsia?
Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 Fa raha tsy izany, raha mbola lavitra ny mpanjaka anankiray, dia hampitondra teny izy ka hangataka fihavanana.
If not, then while the other is still far away, sending a delegation, he would ask him for terms of peace.
33 Ary toy izany koa ianareo rehetra, izay tsy mahafoy izay rehetra anananareo, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro.
Therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses is not able to be my disciple.
34 Koa tsara ny sira; fa raha ny sira aza no tonga matsatso, inona indray no hahasira azy?
Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be seasoned?
35 Tsy mahasoa ny tany na ny zezika izy, fa harian’ ny olona. Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
It is useful neither in soil, nor in manure, so instead, it shall be thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
