Lioka 18
1 Ary Jesosy nilaza fanoharana taminy, fa tsy mety raha tsy mivavaka mandrakariva izy ka tsy reraka,
And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 dia nanao hoe: Nisy mpitsara tao an-tanàna anankiray, izay tsy natahotra an’ Andriamanitra, na mena-maso olona.
saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, and regarded not man:
3 Ary nisy mpitondratena tao amin’ izany tanàna izany, izay nankao aminy matetika ka nanao hoe: Omeo rariny aho amin’ ilay manana ady amiko.
and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 Ary tsy nanaiky izy aloha; fa rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao anakampo hoe izy: Na dia tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra aza aho sady tsy mena-maso olona,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 mba homeko rariny ihany io mpitondratena io, fa manahirana ahy izy, fandrao ho avy mandrakariva izy ka hampahasosotra ahy.
yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
6 Ary hoy ny Tompo: Henoy izay lazain’ ilay mpitsara tsy marina.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
7 Fa Andriamanitra tsy hanome rariny ny olom-boafidiny va, izay mitaraina aminy andro aman’ alina, ary moa hitaredretra va Izy?
And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry to him day and night, and he is longsuffering over them?
8 Lazaiko aminareo fa homeny rariny faingana izy. Kanefa, raha avy ny Zanak’ olona, moa hahita finoana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany va Izy?
I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Howbeit when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 Ary Jesosy nanao ity fanoharana ity tamin’ ny sasany izay natoky tena ho marina ka namingavinga ny hafa;
And he spake also this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
10 Nisy roa lahy niakatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly hivavaka, ny anankiray Fariseo, ary ny anankiray mpamory hetra.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Ilay Fariseo nitsangana ka nivavaka nitokana hoe: Andriamanitra ô, misaotra Anao aho fa tsy mba tahaka ny olona sasany, izay mpanao an-keriny, tsy marina, mpijangajanga, na tahaka io mpamory hetra io aza.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Mifady indroa isan-kerinandro aho; mandoa ny fahafolon-karena amin’ izay azoko rehetra aho.
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
13 Fa ilay mpamory hetra kosa nijanona teny lavitra eny, sady tsy nety niandrandra ny lanitra akory, fa niteha-tratra ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, mamindrà fo amiko mpanota.
But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Lazaiko aminareo: Izany lehilahy izany nidina tany an-tranony efa nohamarinina noho ny anankiray; fa izay rehetra manandra-tena no haetry, ary izay rehetra manetry tena no hasandratra.
I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Ary nisy nitondra zazakely koa ho eo amin’ i Jesosy mba hotendreny; fa raha vao nahita izany ny mpianatra, dia nandrara azy.
And they brought unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Fa Jesosy niantso ireo hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Avelao ny zaza hanatona Ahy, ary aza raràna; fa an’ ny toa azy ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no ny handray ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra tahaka ny zaza, dia tsy ho tafiditra aminy akory.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
18 Ary nisy mpanapaka anankiray nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.
20 Fantatrao ny didy hoe: Aza mijangajanga, Aza mamono olona, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga, Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and mother.
21 Ary hoy kosa izy: Izany rehetra izany dia efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.
And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.
22 Ary rehefa nandre izany Jesosy, dia hoy Izy taminy: Mbola diso zavatra iray loha ianao: amidio ny fanananao rehetra, ka zarao ho an’ ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia, manaraha Ahy.
And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Ary rehefa nandre izany ralehilahy, dia nalahelo loatra; fa nanan-karena dia nanan-karena izy.
But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Ary Jesosy, raha nijery azy, dia nanao hoe: Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hidiran’ ny rameva amin’ ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran’ ny manan-karena amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra!
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Ary izay nandre dia nanao hoe: Iza indray moa no azo hovonjena?
And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?
27 Fa hoy Jesosy: Izay zavatra tsy hain’ ny olona dia hain’ Andriamanitra.
But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Dia hoy Petera: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy izay nety ho anay ka nanaraka Anao.
And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.
29 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy olona izay efa nahafoy trano, na vady, na rahalahy, na ray, na reny, na zanaka, noho ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra,
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Ary Jesosy naka ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika, dia ho tanteraka ny zavatra rehetra izay voasoratry ny mpaminany ny amin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
32 Fa hatolotra ho amin’ ny jentilisa Izy, dia hataony fihomehezana sy hisetrasetrany sy hororany
For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully entreated, and spit upon:
33 ary hokapohiny sy hovonoiny, ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo dia hitsangana Izy.
and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 Nefa tsy nisy azony akory izany teny izany, fa nafenina taminy izy ka dia tsy fantany izay nolazainy.
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.
35 Ary raha Jesosy nanakaiky an’ i Jeriko, dia indro jamba anankiray nipetraka nangataka teo amoron-dalana.
And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 Ary raha nandre ny vahoaka mandalo izy, dia nanontany hoe: Inona izany?
and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
37 Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Jesosy avy any Nazareta no mandalo.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 Dia niantso mafy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Ary izay nandeha teny aloha dia niteny mafy azy mba hangina, fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Zanak’ i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nasainy ho entina eo aminy ralehilahy; ary rehefa mby akaiky izy, dia nanontany azy Jesosy
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mahirata ny masonao; ny finoanao no efa nahavonjy anao.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nahiratra ny masony, ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy izy sady nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra; ary ny vahoaka rehetra, raha nahita, dia nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
