Mark 12
1 Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
Aa le niorotse nisaontsy am-pandrazañañan-dre: Teo t’indaty nañalahala tanem-bahe: nañarikatoha’e kijoly, naho nihalia’e fipiritan-divay, mbore nandrafeta’e fitalakesañ’ abo, le nafondro’e am-pañalahala valòboke, vaho nitaveañe añe.
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
Ie sam-pamaramanta, le namantoke mpitoroñe hangalake amo mpañalahalao ty voka’ i tanem-bahe’ey.
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
F’ie rinambe’ iereo naho nifofoheñe vaho nampipolie’ iereo mañomaño.
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Aa le nañitrifa’e mpitoroñe indraike; fe trinabotrabo’ iereo ty añambone’e, vaho nampisalareñe.
5 Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
Nañitrifa’e indraike, fe navetrake ty raike; le mbe nimaro ka, vinangovango ty ila’e, nohofan-doza ty ila’e.
6 He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
Mbe ama’e ty honka’e, ty ana’e kokoa’e, ie ty sehangam-pirahe’e, fa hoe re: Hiasy i anakoy iereo.
7 "But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
Fe nikilily ty hoe i mpamondro rey: Intoy i mpandovay, antao hañè-doza ama’e vaho ho antika i lovay.
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
Aa le rinambe’ iereo naho namono aze, vaho navokovoko’ iereo alafe’ i tetem-bahey.
9 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."
Aa vaho inoñe ty hanoe’ i Talèn-tetem-bahey? Hiheo mb’eo re hanjamañe o mpañalahalao, le hatolo’e ami’ty ila’e i tetem-bahey.
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
Mbe tsy vinaki’ areo hao ty Sokitse Masiñe manao ty hoe: I vato nikihoe’ o mpandrafitseoy ie ty talen-kotsoke henaneo.
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
Sata’ i Talè iza. le fiain-tane am-pihainon-tikañ’ ao?
12 And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to them. So they left Him and went away.
Aa le nipay ty hitsepake aze iereo, f’ie nihembañe amy lahialeñey; nifohi’iereo te nanoa’e jera-fotots’aila am’iereo amy ohatsey, aa le nisitake aze vaho niavotse.
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
Le nahitri’ iereo mb’ama’e o Fariseo naho o nte Heroda ila’eo hitsepake aze amo tsara’eo.
14 So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
Pok’eo iereo, nanao ty hoe: O Talè, fohi’ay te vañon-dRehe, tsy mañaon-keve’ ondaty, vaho tsy amam-pirihiañe, fa mañoke ty satan’ Añahare an-katò; Aa vaho Hake hao ty androroñañe vili-loha amy Kaisara, ke tsie?
15 Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."
Handroroñe hao zahay ke tsy handroroñe? Fe niarofoana’e ty famañahia’ iareo, le hoe re ama’e: Ino ty itsoha’ areo ahy? Añandeso drala henteako.
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
Nañandesañe, le nanoa’e ty hoe, Sare naho soki’ ia v’itoio? A i Kaisara, hoe ty asa’ iareo:
17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
Aa le natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Atoloro amy Kaisara o a i Kaisarao, naho aman’ Añahare o an’ Andrianañahareo. Le nidaba ama’e iereo.
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
Nimb’ama’e ka o Tsadoke ila’eo, ie tsy miantoke i fivañonam-beloñey, vaho nitsok’ aze, ami’ty hoe:
19 "Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
O Talè, sinoki’ i Mosè aman-tika te ie vilasy ty rahalahi’ ondaty, naho mienga valy tsy aman’ anake, le ampañengàeñe i rahalahi’ey i vali’ey hameloma’e doria ho amy rahalahi’ey.
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
Aa le teo ty mpirahalahy fito; nañenga valy ty valoha’e, f’ie nivetrake tsy nampipoke tiry.
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
Le vinali’ ty faharoe, f’ie ka nihomake tsy nampipoke tiry. Manahake izay ty fahatelo.
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
Leo raike amy mirahalahy fito rey tsy nampipoke doria. Fara’e nihomake ka i rakembay.
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
Aa ie amy fivañonam-beloñey, naho mitroatse iereo, ia ama’e ty ho vali’e, kanao songa nanambaly aze i fito rey?
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
Hoe t’Iesoà am’iereo: Inay ie, ty mampandilatse anahareo, te tsy fohi’ areo i Sokitse Masiñey ndra ty haozaran’ Añahare.
25 For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
Ie mitroatse ami’ty havilasy, tsy mañenga, tsy engaeñe; fa manahake o anjelin-dindìñeo.
26 But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
Le o vilasio, t’ie mitroatse, tsy vinaki’ areo hao amy boke’ i Mosèy ao te tsinaran’ Añahare boak’ amy rongoñey ty hoe: Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme iraho, naho t’i Andrianañahare’ Isaka, vaho t’i Andrianañahare’ Iakobe.
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
Ie tsy Andrianañahare’o vilasio, fa Andrianañahare’o veloñeo, toe mañota nahareo.
28 Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
Nimb’eo ty mpanoki-dily, nahajanjiñe ty fifandiera’ iareoy naho nahaoniñe te vinale’e soa vaho nañontanea’e ty hoe: Ino ty lily ra’elahi’ ama’e?
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Zao ty lohà’e: Mijanjiña ry Israele; Raike t’i Talè Andrianañaharen-tikañe,
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
Tsy mete tsy kokoa’o an-kaliforan’ arofo, naho an-kaàtsam-piaiñe, naho an-kaampom-pitsakoreañe vaho an-kaozara’o iaby t’i Talè, Andrianañahare’o.
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
Hoe ty faharoe: Ampirao fikoko ami’ty vata’o ondatio. Tsy eo ty lily ambone’ irezay.
32 So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
Aa hoe ty asa’ i mpanoki-diliy tama’e: To i azoy, Talè, mahity i enta’oy te raike t’i Andrianañahare, tsy aman-tovo’e,
33 and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
le ambone’ ze hene engan-koroañe naho soroñe ty fikokoañ’ aze an-kaampon’arofo naho an-kaàtsam-paharendrehañe naho an-kaliforan-kaozarañe vaho ty fikokoañe ondatio mira aman-teña.
34 Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
Nifohi’ Iesoà t’ie nanoiñe an-kihitse, le hoe re ama’e: Tsy lavits’ azo i Fifehean’Añaharey. Aa le tsy eo ty nahavany ontane aze ka.
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
Hoe t’Iesoà te nañoke añ’Anjomban’ Añahare ao: Akore te atao’ o mpanoki-dilio te ana’ i Davide i Norizañey?
36 David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
Toe asa’ i Davide añamy Arofo Masiñey ty hoe: Hoe t’i Talè amy Talèkoy: Miambesara an-tañan-kavanako etoañe, ampara’ te anoeko fitongoàm-pandia’o o rafelahi’oo.
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
Aa ie natao’ i Davide, Talèko, ino ty maha ana’e aze? Le nahafale i lahialeñey ty nijanjiñe aze.
38 Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
Hoe re amo fañoha’eo: Itaò o mpanoki-dily mpitea ty fijelanjelañañe an-tsaroñe mireparepa naho o fañontaneañe an-tsenao
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
naho ty fiambesatse lohà’e am-pitontonañ’ao naho ty toem-piasiañe amo sabadidakeo,
40 and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
o mitamboavokake kibohom-bantotse naho mikoralava hañamahia’eo: ho mafe ty fandilovañe iareo.
41 Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
Teo re te niambesatse tandrife’ ty fampipoham-banabana eo nisamba ty satam-pampipoha’ ondatio drala ama’e, le maro ty mpañaleale nampipoke bey.
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
Nimb’eo ka ty vantotse rarake, nampipoke drala roe miha-fah’efa’e.
43 So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
Aa le tsinikao’e ho mb’ama’e o mpiama’eo, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te nampipoke maro am-panontonan-drala ao ty vantotse rarake toy te amy ze hene ila’e nañifike amy fanontonañey;
44 for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
amy te boak’ ami’ty ambim-bara’e ty nampipoha’ iareo, fe amy hararaha’ey ro nampipoha’e ze fonga hanaña’e, ze hene fiveloma’e.
