¹Ary 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.

¹And he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;

²Ary 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.

²and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

³Ary 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.

³`And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: —

⁴Fantatro izay hataoko, mba hisy handray ahy ho ao an-tranony, rehefa voaisotra amin'ny fitandremana ny fananana aho.

⁴I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

⁵Dia niantso izay rehetra nitrosa tamin'ny tompony izy hankao aminy ka nanao tamin'ny voalohany hoe: Hoatrinona no trosan'ny tompoko aminao?

⁵`And having called near each one of his lord`s debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord?

⁶Ary hoy io: Diloilo injaton'ny famarana. Dia hoy izy taminy koa: Inty, raiso ny taratasinao, ary mipetraha faingana, ka dimam-polo no soraty. [Gr. bata]

⁶and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.

⁷Dia 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.[Gr. kora]

⁷`Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.

⁸Ary 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.

⁸`And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

⁹Ary 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.

⁹and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.

¹⁰Ary 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.

¹⁰`He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;

¹¹Koa raha tsy mahatoky amin'ny mamôna tsy marina ianareo, iza no hatoky anareo ny amin'ny tena harena?

¹¹if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?

¹²Ary raha tsy mahatoky amin'izay an'olona ianareo, iza no hanome anareo izay anareo?

¹²and if in the other`s ye became not faithful — your own, who shall give to you?

¹³Tsy 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.

¹³`No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.`

¹⁴Ary ny Fariseo, izay fatra-pitia vola, raha nandre izany rehetra izay, dia naneso an'i Jesosy.

¹⁴And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

¹⁵Ary 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.

¹⁵and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before God;

¹⁶Ny 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.

¹⁶the law and the prophets [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;

¹⁷Fa ho moramora kokoa ny hahafoanan'ny lanitra sy ny tany noho ny hahafoanan'ny tendron-tsoratra iray monja aza amin'ny lalàna.

¹⁷and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.

¹⁸Izay rehetra misao-bady ka mampakatra ny hafa dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra vehivavy voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.

¹⁸`Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.

¹⁹Nisy lehilahy manan-karena anankiray niakanjo volomparasy sy rongony fotsy madinika sady nanaram-po fatratra isan'andro tamin'ny fahafinaretana.

¹⁹`And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,

²⁰Ary nisy olo-malahelo ferena anankiray atao hoe Lazarosy napetraka teo anilan'ny vavahadiny;

²⁰and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

²¹ary naniry mba hihinana izay latsaka avy tamin'ny latabatr'ilay manan-karena izy, fa ny alika kosa no avy ka nilelaka ny feriny.[Na: ary ny alika koa dia avy]

²¹and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

²²Ary maty ilay malahelo, dia nentin'ny anjely ho any an-tratran'i Abrahama; ary maty koa ilay manan-karena, dia nalevina;

²²`And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham — and the rich man also died, and was buried;

²³ary raha nijaly tao amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy ka niandrandra, dia nahita an'i Abrahama teny lavitra eny sy Lazarosy teo an-tratrany.[Gr. Hadesy]

²³and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

²⁴Ary 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.

²⁴and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

²⁵Fa 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.

²⁵`And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

²⁶Ary 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.

²⁶and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.

²⁷Dia hoy izy: Mangataka aminao ary aho, ry raiko: mba iraho Lazarosy hankany amin'ny tranon'ny raiko

²⁷`And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,

²⁸(fa manana rahalahy dimy aho), mba hilaza tsara aminy, fandrao mba ho tongay amin'ity fijaliana ity koa izy.

²⁸for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

²⁹Fa hoy Abrahama taminy: Manana an'i Mosesy sy ny mpaminany izy; aoka hihaino ireo izy.

²⁹`Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

³⁰Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsia, ry Abrahama, raiko; fa raha misy miala amin'ny maty hankany aminy, dia hibebaka izy.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.

³⁰and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.

³¹Fa 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.

³¹And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.`
