Lioka 8
1 Ary taoriana kelin’ izany, dia lasa Jesosy nitety ny tanàna sy ny vohitra nitory ny filazantsaran’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra; ary ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy nanaraka Azy.
And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 mbamin’ ny vehivavy sasany, izay nositraniny tamin’ ny fanahy ratsy sy ny aretina, dia Maria atao hoe Magdalena, izay efa nivoahan’ ny demonia fito,
along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 sy Johana, vadin’ i Koza, mpitandrina ny fananan’ i Heroda, ary Sosana mbamin’ ny maro hafa koa, izay nanompo azy tamin’ ny fananany.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka niangona, ka nanatona Azy ny olona avy tamin’ ny isan-tanàna, dia nanao fanoharana hoe Izy:
Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 Nivoaka ny mpamafy hamafy ny voa; ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana ka voahitsakitsaka, ary dia lanin’ ny voro-manidina.
“The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny ambonin’ ny vatolampy; ary raha vao naniry izy, dia nalazo; satria tsy nisy mandomando.
And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo niara-naniry taminy, dia nangeja azy.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, dia naniry ka namoa zato heny. Ary rehefa nilaza izany Izy, dia niantso hoe: Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Ary ny mpianany nanontany Azy ny amin’ izay hevitr’ izany fanoharana izany.
Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 Dia hoy Izy: Hianareo no navela hahalala ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra; fa amin’ ny olon-kafa dia fanoharana no atao, mba hijery izy, fa tsy hahita, ary hahare, fa tsy hahafantatra.
And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 Koa izao no hevitry ny fanoharana: Ny voa dia ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Ireo teny amoron-dalana dia izay mandre, nefa avy ny devoly ka manaisotra ny teny ao am-pony, fandrao hino izy ka hovonjena.
And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 Ireo teny ambonin’ ny vatolampy dia izay mandre sady mandray ny teny amin’ ny hafaliana; nefa tsy manam-paka ireo, fa mino vetivety ihany, koa amin’ izay andro isehoan’ ny fakam-panahy dia mihemotra izy.
Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 Ireo teny amin’ ny tsilo dia izay mandre, fa nony mandeha izy, dia voagejan’ ny fiahiahiana sy ny harena ary ny fahafinaretan’ izao fiainana izao ka tsy mahavanom-boa.
And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 Fa ireo teny amin’ ny tany tsara kosa dia izay mandre ny teny amin’ ny fo sady marina no tsara, dia mitana azy ka mamoa amin’ ny faharetana.
But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 Tsy misy olona mampirehitra jiro ka manarona azy, na nametraka azy ao ambanin’ ny farafara; fa ataony eo amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro izy, mba ho hitan’ izay miditra ny mazava.
Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Fa tsy misy takona izay tsy ho hita, na miafina izay tsy ho fantatra sy tsy haseho.
For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 Koa tandremo ny fihainonareo; fa izay manana dia homena; ary izay tsy manana kosa, na dia izay ataony ho ananany aza dia halaina aminy.
Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Ary renin’ i Jesosy sy ny rahalahiny nanatona Azy, fa tsy nahazo nihaona taminy, satria nifanety ny vahoaka.
Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 Ary nisy nilaza taminy hoe: Ny reninao sy ny rahalahinao mijanona ato ala-trano ta-hahita Anao.
And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Fa namaly Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny reniko sy ny rahalahiko dia ireto izay mandre ny tenin’ Andriamanitra ka mankatò azy.
And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Ary tamin’ ny andro anankiray dia niondrana an-tsambokely Jesosy sy ny mpianany; ary hoy Izy taminy: Andeha isika hankeny am-pitan’ ny farihy; dia lasa izy.
Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 Ary nony nandeha ny sambokely, dia azon’ ny torimaso Jesosy; ary nisy tafio-drivotra nidina tamin’ ny farihy, ka nila ho feno rano ny sambo, ary saiky nahita loza izy ireo.
And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 Ary nanatona izy, dia namoha Azy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, Tompoko, maty izahay! Dia nitsangana Izy, ka noteneniny mafy ny rivotra sy ny onjan-drano. Ary dia nitsahatra izany, ka tonga tony tsara ny andro.
Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Aiza ny finoanareo? Ary natahotra izy ireo sady gaga ka niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity, no mandidy ny rivotra sy ny rano Izy, ka manaiky Azy izany!
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 Dia nitody tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Gerasena izay tandrifin’ i Galilia izy.
And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Ary raha niala nankeny an-tanety Jesosy, dia nifanena taminy ny lehilahy anankiray avy tao an-tanàna, izay efa nanana demonia, ary efa ela izy no tsy nitafy lamba sady tsy nitoetra tao an-trano, fa teny amin’ ny fasana.
And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 Fa nony nahita an’ i Jesosy izy, dia niantso mafy sady niankohoka teo anatrehany ka niteny tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe: Moa mifaninona akory Hianao, Jesosy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra ô? masìna Hianao, aza mampijaly ahy.
And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 Fa Izy nandidy ny fanahy maloto hivoaka tamin-dralehilahy. Fa efa nahazo azy ela izany; ary efa nafatotra tamin’ ny gadra, na ny tànany, na ny tongony, ka nambenana izy; nefa notapahiny ny fatorana, ka dia nentin’ ny demonia niriotra nankany an-efitra izy.
For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 Ary Jesosy nanontany azy ka nanao hoe: Iza moa no anaranao? Dia hoy izy: Legiona; fa demonia maro no efa niditra tao anatiny.
Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
31 Ary nifona taminy izy mba tsy handidiany azy hankany amin’ ny lavaka tsy hita noanoa. (Abyssos g12)
And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Ary nisy kisoa maro andiany iray nandrasana teny an-tendrombohitra, ary ny demonia nifona taminy mba havelany hiditra ao anatiny. Dia nekeny.
And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Ary ny demonia, rehefa nivoaka tamin-dralehilahy, dia niditra tao anatin’ ny kisoa; ary ireo kisoa andiany ireo nitratrevatreva tamin’ ny hantsana ho any amin’ ny farihy, ka dia maty tany.
Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 Ary nony hitan’ ny mpiandry izany natao izany, dia nandositra izy ka nilaza izany tao an-tanàna sy tany an-tsaha.
And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 Dia nivoaka ny olona mba hizaha izany natao izany; ary tonga tany amin’ i Jesosy izy, dia nahita an-dralehilahy izay efa nivoahan’ ny demonia, fa indro izy nipetraka teo anilan’ ny tongotr’ i Jesosy nitafy lamba sady ary saina; dia raiki-tahotra ireo.
Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 Ary izay efa nahita dia nanambara tamin’ ny olona ny namonjena an’ ilay demoniaka.
Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 Ary ny olona rehetra tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Gerasena manodidina dia nangataka an’ i Jesosy hiala aminy, satria raiki-tahotra indrindra izy; ary Jesosy niondrana an-tsambokely ka niverina.
And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 Ary ny lehilahy izay efa nivoahan’ ny demonia dia nangataka mba hitoetra ao aminy; nefa nampodin’ i Jesosy izy ka nataony hoe:
And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Modia ihany any an-tranonao, ka ambarao ny zavatra lehibe nataon’ Andriamanitra taminao. Dia nandeha izy ka nitory eran’ ny tanàna izay zavatra lehibe nataon’ i Jesosy taminy.
“Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 Ary nony tafaverina Jesosy, dia nandray Azy tsara ny vahoaka, fa niandry Azy avokoa izy rehetra.
Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 Ary, indro, dia tonga ny lehilahy atao hoe Jairo, mpanapaka ny synagoga; dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tongotr’ i Jesosy izy ka niangavy taminy hiditra ao an-tranony.
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 Fa nanana zanakavavy tokana tokony ho roa ambin’ ny folo taona izy, ary efa ho faty razazavavy. Ary raha nandeha Jesosy, dia nanety lalana Azy ny vahoaka.
For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray narary roa ambin’ ny folo taona, izay efa nandany ny fananany rehetra tamin’ ny mpanao fanafody, nefa tsy nisy nahasitrana azy akory.
And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 Dia nankao ivohon’ i Jesosy ravehivavy ka nanendry ny somotraviavin-dambany, ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nijanona ny aretiny.
She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Ary hoy Jesosy: Iza moa no nanendry Ahy? Ary rehefa samy nandà izy rehetra, dia hoy Petera sy ny namany: Tompoko, ny vahoaka betsaka mifanety ka manizina Anao.
And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Fa hoy Jesosy: Nisy olona nanendry Ahy; fa fantatro fa nisy hery nivoaka avy tamiko.
And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Ary rehefa hitan-dravehivavy fa tsy takona Azy izy, dia nangovitra izy ka nankeo aminy sady niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia nanambara teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka rehetra izay anton’ ny nanendreny Azy sy izay nahasitranany niaraka tamin’ izay.
Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Anaka, ny finoanao no nahasitrana anao; mandehana soa aman-tsara.
But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 Ary raha mbola niteny Jesosy, dia tonga ny anankiray avy tany amin’ ilay mpanapaka ny synagoga ka nanao hoe: Maty ny zanakao-vavy; aza manahirana ny Mpampianatra.
While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 Fa Jesosy, raha nahare, dia namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra; minoa fotsiny ihany, dia ho velona izy.
Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 Ary raha tonga tao an-trano Izy, dia tsy nisy olona navelany hiara-miditra taminy, afa-tsy Petera sy Jaona ary Jakoba mbamin’ ny ray aman-drenin-drazazavavy.
And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 Ary ny olona rehetra nitomany sy nisaona azy; fa Jesosy nanao hoe: Aza mitomany; fa tsy maty izy, fa matory.
Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 Dia nihomehy Azy fatratra ny olona satria fantany fa efa maty razazavavy.
And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Ary Jesosy dia nandray ny tànany ka niantso hoe: Ry zazavavy, miarena.
But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 Dia nody indray ny ainy, ka niarina niaraka tamin’ izay izy; ary nasainy nomena hanina izy.
And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 Ary dia talanjona ny ray aman-dreniny; fa Jesosy nandrara ary tsy hilazalaza amin’ olona ny zavatra efa natao.
And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
