Lioka 16
1 Ary hoy koa Jesosy tamin’ ny mpianatra: Nisy olona manan-karena anankiray nanana mpitandrina ny fananany; ary ilehiny dia nampangain’ olona taminy fa mandany ny fananany.
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 Ary nampaka azy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana izao fandrenesako anao izao? Mamoaha ny amin’ ny fitandremanao ny fananako; fa tsy mahazo mitandrina ny fananako intsony ianao.
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 Ary ilay mpitandrina ny fananana nanao anakampo hoe: Inona ange no hataoko, fa esorin’ ny tompoko amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananany aho? Ny miasa tany tsy tratry ny aiko; ny mangataka mahamenatra ahy.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Fantatro izay hataoko, mba hisy handray ahy ho ao an-tranony, rehefa voaisotra amin’ ny fitandremana ny fananana aho.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Dia niantso izay rehetra nitrosa tamin’ ny tompony izy hankao aminy ka nanao tamin’ ny voalohany hoe: Hoatrinona no trosan’ ny tompoko aminao?
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 Ary hoy io: Diloilo injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao, ary mipetraha faingana, ka dimam-polo no soraty.
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny anankiray koa: Hoatrinona kosa no trosa aminao? Ary hoy izy: Vary injaton’ ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao ka valo-polo no soraty.
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8 Ary ny tompony nidera ilay mpitandrina tsy marina, satria nanan-tsaina izy; fa ny zanak’ izao tontolo izao dia manan-tsaina kokoa ny amin’ ny karazany noho ny zanaky ny mazava. (aiōn g165)
"His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this age (aiōn g165) are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
9 Ary hoy Izaho aminareo: Aoka ny mamôna tsy marina ho entinareo mahazo sakaiza, mba horaisin’ ireo ho any amin’ ny fonenana mandrakizay ianareo, rehefa lany izany. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into consummate (aiōnios g166) tents.
10 Ary izay mahatoky amin’ ny kely indrindra dia mahatoky koa amin’ ny be; ary izay tsy marina amin’ ny kely indrindra dia tsy marina koa amin’ ny be.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 Koa raha tsy mahatoky amin’ ny mamôna tsy marina ianareo, iza no hatoky anareo ny amin’ ny tena harena?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Ary raha tsy mahatoky amin’ izay an’ olona ianareo, iza no hanome anareo izay anareo?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Tsy misy mpanompo mahay manompo tompo roa; fa ny anankiray ho halany, ary anankiray ho tiany; na ny anankiray hombany, ary ny anankiray hohamavoiny. Tsy mahay manompo an’ Andriamanitra sy mamôna ianareo.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Ary ny Fariseo, izay fatra-pitia vola, raha nandre izany rehetra izay, dia naneso an’ i Jesosy.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Hianareo dia mpanamarin-tena eo anatrehan’ ny olona, nefa Andriamanitra mahalala ny fonareo; fa izay zavatra heverin’ ny olona ho ambony dia fahavetavetana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Ny lalàna sy ny mpaminany dia hatramin’ i Jaona; ary hatramin’ izany no efa nitoriana ny filazantsaran’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary misesika izay rehetra miditra eo.
“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hahafoanan’ ny lanitra sy ny tany noho ny hahafoanan’ ny tendron-tsoratra iray monja aza amin’ ny lalàna.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18 Izay rehetra misao-bady ka mampakatra ny hafa dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra vehivavy voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Nisy lehilahy manan-karena anankiray niakanjo volomparasy sy rongony fotsy madinika sady nanaram-po fatratra isan’ andro tamin’ ny fahafinaretana.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Ary nisy olo-malahelo ferena anankiray atao hoe Lazarosy napetraka teo anilan’ ny vavahadiny;
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 ary naniry mba hihinana izay latsaka avy tamin’ ny latabatr’ ilay manan-karena izy, fa ny alika kosa no avy ka nilelaka ny feriny.
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Ary maty ilay malahelo, dia nentin’ ny anjely ho any an-tratran’ i Abrahama; ary maty koa ilay manan-karena, dia nalevina;
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 ary raha nijaly tao amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy ka niandrandra, dia nahita an’ i Abrahama teny lavitra eny sy Lazarosy teo an-tratrany. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades (Hadēs g86), he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
24 Ary izy niantso ka nanao hoe: Ry Abrahama raiko ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka iraho Lazarosy mba hanoboka ny tendron’ ny rantsan-tanany amin’ ny rano mba hampangatsiaka ny lelako; fa fadiranovana aho eto anatin’ ity lelafo ity.
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 Fa hoy Abrahama: Anaka, tsarovy fa ianao efa nahazo ny zava-tsoanao tamin’ ny andro niainanao, ary Lazarosy kosa ny zava-dratsy; fa ankehitriny izy no ampifalinay atỳ, ary ianao kosa no fadiranovana.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 Ary mihoatra noho izany rehetra izany, misy tevana makadiry ajadona ao anelanelantsika, mba tsy ho afa-mita hankeny aminareo izay te-hiala etỳ, ary ny ho afa-mita hanketỳ aminay izay eny.
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 Dia hoy izy: Mangataka aminao ary aho, ry raiko: mba iraho Lazarosy hankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 (fa manana rahalahy dimy aho), mba hilaza tsara aminy, fandrao mba ho tongay amin’ ity fijaliana ity koa izy.
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they will not also come into this place of torment.’
29 Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Manana an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy; aoka hihaino ireo izy.
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsia, ry Abrahama, raiko; fa raha misy miala amin’ ny maty hankany aminy, dia hibebaka izy.
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Raha tsy mihaino an’ i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy, dia tsy hety hino izy, na dia misy mitsangana amin’ ny maty aza.
“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
