Luke 7 (TDX) · Opened

1Ie nifonitse i nilañone’e añatrefa’ i màroy le niheo mbe Kapernaomy mb’eo,When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2le teo ty mpitorom-pifehen-dahin-defon-jato nisoheñe, narare, toe heta’e.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Ie nijanjiñe’e Iesoà, le nirahe’e homb’ ama’e ty androanavi’ o Jiosio hihalaly ama’e ty homb’eo hampijangañe i mpitoro’ey.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Aa ie nifanampe amy Iesoà, le nimanea’ iareo toreo ami’ty hoe: Evae’e te hanoe’o,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5amy t’ie mpitea ty tanen-tika naho namboatse anjombam-pitontoñañe.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Aa le niongake vaho nindre lia am’iereo t’Iesoà. Ie narine i anjombay, le nampanalakà’ i mpifelekey aze o rañe’eo hinday o entañe zao: O Rañandria, ko mañolañ’ ay fa tsy sazò ahy te ihe hiheo ambane’ ty tafo-trañoko.So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7Mbore ataoko tsy mañeva azo te izaho ro homb’ ama’o, fe mitsarà le ho jangañe i mpitorokoy.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Izaho ka fehèn-dily vaho mamehe lahindefoñe. Ie ataoko Akia ty raike le mandeha, naho ami’ty raike: Mb’etoa, le avy, vaho amy mpitorokoy: Anò zao, le anoe’e.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Ie jinanji’ Iesoà, le nilatsa, naho nitolike, nanao ty hoe am’ ondaty nañorik’ azeo: Itaroñako te mbe lia tsy nahatrea fatokisam-bey hoe izay ndra e Israele atoy!When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Ie pok’ añ’ anjomba ao o nafanto’eo, le nizoe’ iereo jangañe i mpitoroñe natindriy.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Ie amy loak’androy, nigodañe mb’ an-drova atao Naina mb’eo t’Iesoà; le nañorik’ aze ty maro amo mpiama’eo naho i lahialeñey.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Ie nitotoke i lalambein-drovay, intoy ty takon-dolo boak’ao, ty ana-dahy bako tokan-drene’e, vantotse; le nañorik’ aze ty valobohòke boak’ an-drova ao.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Ie nivazoho’ i Talè i rakembay le niferenaiña’e naho nanoe’e ty hoe: Ko mirovetse!When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Nimb’eo re nitsapa i horantsañey vaho nitsangañe o mpitakoñeo le hoe re: O kirahe, hoe iraho ama’o: Mivañòna!Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Nitroatse amy zao i nivetrakey naho nisaontsy vaho natolo’e aman-drene’e.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Hene niazo’ ty anifañe ondatio le nañomey engeñe an’ Andrianañahare ami’ty hoe: Mpitoky ra’elahy ty nitroatse amantika; vaho ty hoe: Nitilike ondati’eo t’i Andrianañahare.A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17Nanitsike Iehodà naho o rova mañohok’ aze iabio ty fiboelea’ i talily ty ama’ey.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Natalili’ o mpiana’ i Jaonao ama’e i hene rezay.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Aa le kinanji’ i Jaona ty mpiana’e roe le nampihitrife’e mb’amy Talè mb’eo hañontane aze ty hoe: Ihe hao i ho aviy, ke hafa ty ho tamàe’ay?So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Ie nivotraha’ indaty rey le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Nirahe’ i Jaona Mpandipotse mb’ama’o mb’etoan-jahay hañontàne ty hoe: Ihe hao i Ho aviy, kera mbe añe i tamaen-tikañey?When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21Amy oray avao ty nañafaha’e ondaty maro amo areteñeo naho amo hasilofañeo naho amo anga-dratio vaho nampañisake ty goa maro.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Akia, atalilio amy Jaona o raha niisa’areo naho nijanjiñeñeo; te mahaoniñe o feio, minokitse o komboo, malio o angamaeo, mijanjiñe o giñeo, miheren-ko veloñe o vilasio vaho taroñeñe amo rarakeo i Talili-soay.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Haha ze tsy mitorifike amako.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Ie niavotse i mpiana’ i Jaona rey, le nitalily i Jaona amy lahialeñey t’Iesoà, ami’ty hoe: Hisamba inoñe ty lia’areo mb’am-babangoañe añe? Ty Bararata atroetroen-tioke hao?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25ke ino ty niakara’ areo ho isaheñe? Ondaty misikin-tsoa hao? Toe añ’ anjombam-pifehe ao o mpisaroñe lamba marerarerao naho o miaiñ’ añolèñañeo;Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26he ino ty niavota’ areo ho sambaeñe? Mpitoky hao? Eka! hoe iraho ama’areo : lombolombom-pitoky re.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Ie nipatereñe ty hoe: Ingo, iraheko aolon-dahara’o eo ty hañajary ty lala’o aolo’o.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Aa hoe ty entako ama’areo: Amy ze sinaman-droakemba tsy teo ty mpitoky bey te amy Jaona Mpandipotse; fe jabajaba te ama’e ze minjilìte’e amy Fifehean’Añaharey.I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Songa nañomey to an’ Andrianañahare ondaty nahajanjiñeo naho o mpamory vili-lohao, amy t’ie niliporeñe ami’ty filipora’ i Jaona,All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30fe nifarie’o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dilio ty nisafirien’ Añahare ho a iareo amy t’ie tsy nimete nilipotse ama’e.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Inoñe arè ty handrazañako ondati’ ty tariratse toio, isareañe ami’ty ino?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Ie hambañe ami’ty ajaja mitobok’ an-tsena ao mifampikoike ty hoe: fa nitiofa’ay soly fe tsy nitsinjaha’areo; nibekoa’ay fandalañe, fe tsy niroveta’areo.They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33Aa ie niloneake t’i Jaona Mpandipotse, tsy nikama mofo, tsy ninon-divay le hoe ty asa’ areo: Aman-kokolampa re.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Ie nivotrake eo ka i Ana’ ondatiy mihinañe naho minoñe, le hoe ka nahareo: Hehe! milonja naho migenoke divay ty rañem-pamory vili-loha naho bey hakeo tia.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Fe mahazo to amo ana’eo ty hihitse.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Ie amy zay, nañambara Iesoà ty Fariseo hitrao-pikama. Aa le niheo mb’añ’anjomba’e ao re, niambesatse.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Le teo ty ampela beihakeo an-drova ao, ie naharendreke t’ie nandrenàndre nikama añ’anjomba’ i Fariseoy, le nandesa’e solike mañitse ami’ty anan-tsinihara.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Nijohañe amboho’e eo re nirovetse am-pandia’e, nandè o fandia’eo an-dranomaso’e naho nifòra’e amo volo’eo; le nitolom-pañoroke o fandia’eo vaho nihosora’e solike mañitse.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Ie nioni’ i fariseo nañambara aze le hoe ty tsakore’e: Naho toe nimpitoky ondatio, le ho nifohi’e te ia izay naho ty sata’ o ampela mitsapatsapa azeo; t’ie bei-hakeo.When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Aa le natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: O Simona, Inao ty ivolañako. Le hoe re: Isaontsio, Talè.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Teo ty mpampisongo amam-pisongo roe. Ty raike nitsepake bogady liman-jato, ty raike limam-polo.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Aa kanao tsy eo ty hahavaha’ iareo, sindre nihevea’e. Toiño iraho, ia am’ iereo ty ho lako fitea aze?When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Hoe ty natoi’ i Simona: Va’e i nihevea’e beiy. Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: To i saontsi’oy.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Nitolik’ amy ampelay re le nisaontsy amy Simona ty hoe: Hehek’ o rakembao? Nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’o atoan-draho le tsy nanjotsoa’o rano hanasàko tomboke, fe o rano-pihaino’eo ro nanasa o tombokoo vaho namaoke aze o maroi’eo.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Tsy nondrohe’o; fe boak’ ami’ty nimoahako atoañe le lia’e tsy napo’e ty oroke o tombokoo.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Tsy nañiliña’o menake ty lohako, fe hinoso’ ty rakemba tia solike mañitse o tombokoo.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Aa hoe ty taroko ama’o, O tahi’e nimaroo, fonga nimeatse, amy t’ie bey fikokoañe. Aa ze niheveañe kede, kede ka ty fitea’e.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Le hoe re tamy rakembay: Hene nilioveñe o hakeo’oo.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Aa hoe ty fiñeoñeo’ o nitrao-pikama ama’eo: Ia ka ty mbore mañaha hakeo tia?But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Hoe t’Iesoà tamy ampelay: Nandrombak’ azo ty fatokisa’o; akia an-kanintsiñe.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
