marika 10: 17 – 27

17And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18Ary hoy Jesosy taminy, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.

19You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Aza mangalatra, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”

20Dia hoy izy taminy, “MPAMPIANATRA, all these I have observed from my youth.”

21And Jesus looking upon him loved him, ary hoy izy taminy, “You lack one thing; Mandehana, amidio izay anananao, ary omeo ny malahelo, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

22At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

23And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”

24And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “aNKIZY, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26And they were exceedingly astonished, ary hoy izy taminy, “Then who can be saved?”

27Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, fa tsy amin’Andriamanitra; for all things are possible with God.”
