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 came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.

2 Ary, indro, nisy olona manirano anankiray teo anatrehany.

And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.

3 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao tamin’ ny mpahay lalàna sy ny Fariseo hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin’ ny Sabata, sa tsia?

Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?

4 Fa tsy niteny ireo. Ary Izy nanendry ilay marary, dia nahasitrana azy ka nandefa azy handeha.

And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,

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 answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

6 Ary tsy nahavaly ny amin’ izany zavatra izany izy.

And they could not answere him againe to those things.

7 Ary Jesosy nanao fanoharana tamin’ izay nasaina, raha nahita azy mifidy ny fitoerana aloha, ka nanao taminy hoe:

He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto 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 thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of 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 he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.

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 thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 Fa izay rehetra manandra-tena no haetry; ary izay manetry tena no hasandratra.

For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, 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 said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

13 Fa raha manao fanasana ianao, dia asao ny malahelo, ny kilemaina, ny mandringa, ny jamba;

But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, 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 thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

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.

Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

16 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nisy olona anankiray nanao fanasana lehibe ka nanasa olona maro.

Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade 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 sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

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.

But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.

19 Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nividy omby folo aho ka handeha hamantatra azy; masìna ianao, ekeo ny fandavako.

And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

20 Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nampaka-bady aho, koa amin’ izany tsy afaka mankany.

And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.

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.

So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

22 Ary hoy ilay mpanompo: Tompoko, efa natao izay nandidianao, ary mbola tsy feno ihany ny trano.

And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

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.

Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

24 Fa lazaiko aminareo: Tsy hisy hanandrana ny nahandroko ireny olona nasaiko ireny na dia iray akory aza.

For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

25 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka niaraka tamin’ i Jesosy, dia nitodika Izy ka nanao taminy hoe:

Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto 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 any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not 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 whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee 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 which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,

29 fandrao, rehefa nanao ny fanorenana izy ka tsy mahavita, dia handatsa azy izay rehetra mahita

Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

30 ka hanao hoe: Io olona io dia nanomboka nanao trano, fa tsy nahavita.

Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?

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 going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?

32 Fa raha tsy izany, raha mbola lavitra ny mpanjaka anankiray, dia hampitondra teny izy ka hangataka fihavanana.

Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.

33 Ary toy izany koa ianareo rehetra, izay tsy mahafoy izay rehetra anananareo, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro.

So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot 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 salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?

35 Tsy mahasoa ny tany na ny zezika izy, fa harian’ ny olona. Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.

It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
