Luke 16

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.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

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.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

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.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

Fantatro izay hataoko, mba hisy handray ahy ho ao an-tranony, rehefa voaisotra amin'ny fitandremana ny fananana aho.

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Dia niantso izay rehetra nitrosa tamin'ny tompony izy hankao aminy ka nanao tamin'ny voalohany hoe: Hoatrinona no trosan'ny tompoko aminao?

So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

Ary hoy io: Diloilo injaton'ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao, ary mipetraha faingana, ka dimam-polo no soraty.

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

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 said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

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.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

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.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

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 that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Koa raha tsy mahatoky amin'ny mamôna tsy marina ianareo, iza no hatoky anareo ny amin'ny tena harena?

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

Ary raha tsy mahatoky amin'izay an'olona ianareo, iza no hanome anareo izay anareo?

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

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 the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Ary ny Fariseo, izay fatra-pitia vola, raha nandre izany rehetra izay, dia naneso an'i Jesosy.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

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.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

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: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hahafoanan'ny lanitra sy ny tany noho ny hahafoanan'ny tendron-tsoratra iray monja aza amin'ny lalàna.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Izay rehetra misao-bady ka mampakatra ny hafa dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra vehivavy voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Nisy lehilahy manan-karena anankiray niakanjo volomparasy sy rongony fotsy madinika sady nanaram-po fatratra isan'andro tamin'ny fahafinaretana.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Ary nisy olo-malahelo ferena anankiray atao hoe Lazarosy napetraka teo anilan'ny vavahadiny;

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

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 which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Ary maty ilay malahelo, dia nentin'ny anjely ho any an-tratran'i Abrahama; ary maty koa ilay manan-karena, dia nalevina;

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

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.

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

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.

And 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 tormented in this flame.

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 . ary ianao kosa no fadiranovana.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

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.

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Dia hoy izy: Mangataka aminao ary aho, ry raiko: mba iraho Lazarosy hankany amin'ny tranon'ny raiko

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

(fa manana rahalahy dimy aho), mba hilaza tsara aminy, fandrao mba ho tongay amin'ity fijaliana ity koa izy.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Manana an'i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy; aoka hihaino ireo izy.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsia, ry Abrahama, raiko; fa raha misy miala amin'ny maty hankany aminy, dia hibebaka izy.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

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.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
