Toko 20: Nampianatra momba ny Vavaka i Jesoa

Sermon on the Mount - Jesus tells His disciples that they should pray in private - depicted is a man praying in public to be seen of men - ch.21-1

Nampianatra ny mpianany hivavaka i Jesoa. Nilaza Izy fa misy olona sasany izay mivavaka fotsiny mba ho hitan’ny olon-kafa izy ireo fa mivavaka. Nampianatra i Jesoa fa tokony hanao ny vavaky ny tena manokana isika any amin’ny toerana maha-irery antsika, raha azo atao.

Matio 6:5–6

Sermon on the Mount - Jesus tells His disciples that they should think about what they are saying and not use vain repetitions - ch.21-2

Nilaza Izy fa misy olona sasany izay mitovy foana ny teny ao anatin’ny vavaka ataony isaky ny mivavaka. Tsy tena mieritreritra ny zavatra lazainy izy ireo. Nilaza i Jesoa fa tokony hanao vavaka am-pahitsim-po mikasika izay ilaintsika isika.

Matio 6:7–8

Sermon on the Mount - Jesus shows His disciples how to pray - the Lord's Prayer - ch.21-3

Nanao vavaka iray i Jesoa mba hampisehoana an’ireo mpianany ny fomba fivavaka. Izany dia natombony tamin’ny hoe: “Rainay … izay any an-danitra.” Nidera ny Ray any an-danitra Izy ary nangataka fanampiana taminy avy eo. Niteny hoe “amena” Izy tamin’ny fiafaran’ny vavaka nataony. Taty aoriana, dia nilaza tamin’ny mpianany i Jesoa mba hivavaka amin’ny Ray amin’ny anarany. Nampanantena Izy fa hamaly ny vavaka ataon’izy ireo ny Ray any an-danitra.
