Marka 12
1 Ary niteny taminy Izy ka nanao fanoharana hoe: Nisy lehilahy anankiray nanao tanim-boaloboka ka namefy azy manodidina sy nihady famiazana ary nanao tilikambo, ka nahofany tamin’ olona mpiasa tany izany, dia lasa nankany an-tany hafa izy.
Then addressing them in parables, he said, A man planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and dug a place for a wine vat, and built a tower, and having farmed it out, went abroad.
2 Ary nony tonga ny fotoana, dia naniraka mpanompo anankiray izy hankany amin’ ny mpiasa tany handray amin’ ny vokatry ny tanim-boaloboka.
The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive his portion of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Fa ireo nisambotra ilay mpanompo sady nikapoka azy ka nampiala azy maina.
But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Ary izy naniraka mpanompo anankiray koa ho any aminy indray, fa io koa, dia noratrainy ny lohany, ka nalany baraka izy.
Again, he sent to them another servant, whom they wounded in the head with stones, and sent back with disgrace.
5 Ary naniraka anankiray koa izy, fa io kosa indray dia novonoiny ho faty; ary maro koa no nirahiny, fa ny sasany nokapohiny, ary ny sasany novonoiny ho faty.
He sent another, whom they killed; and of many more that he sent, some they beat, and some they killed.
6 Ary mbola nanana anankiray izy, dia ny zananilahy malalany, ka nony farany dia naniraka azy hankany aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Hanaja ny zanako izy.
At last, having an only son, whom he loved, he sent him also to them; for he said, They will reverence my son.
7 Fa izany mpiasa tany izany niresaka hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika izy, dia ho antsika ny lova.
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
8 Ary rehefa nisambotra azy izy, dia nahafaty azy sy namoaka azy teo ivelan’ ny tanim-boaloboka.
Then they laid hold on him, and having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him.
9 Koa ahoana no hataon’ ny tompon’ ny tanim-boaloboka amin’ izany? Ho avy izy, dia handringana ny mpiasa tany, ka homeny olon-kafa ny tanim-boaloboka.
What, therefore, will the proprietor of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others.
10 Ary tsy mbola novakinareo va izao Soratra Masìna izao: Ny vato izay nolavin’ ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro;
Have you not read this passage of scripture, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner:
11 Avy tamin’ i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika?
this the Lord has performed, and we behold it with admiration?"
12 Ary nitady hisambotra Azy izy ireo, nefa natahotra ny vahoaka izy, satria fantany fa ny tenany no nolazainy tamin’ izany fanoharana izany; dia nandao an’ i Jesosy ny olona ka lasa.
And they desired to have seized him, but were afraid of the multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them.
13 Ary nirahiny hankeo amin’ i Jesosy ny sasany avy tamin’ ny Fariseo sy ny Herodiana hamandrika Azy amin’ ny teniny.
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders, leaving Jesus, went away, and sent to him certain Pharisees and Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 Ary rehefa tonga izy ireo, dia nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, fantatray fa marina Hianao, ka tsy mampaninona Anao ny hevitry ny olona, fa tsy mba mizaha tavan’ olona Hianao, fa mampianatra marina ny lalan’ Andriamanitra. Mety va ny mandoa vola hetra ho an’ i Kaisara, sa tsia?
These coming up, said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are upright, and stand in awe of none; for you respect not the person of men, but teach the way of God faithfully. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
15 Handoa va izahay, sa tsy handoa? Fa Izy nahalala ny fihatsaram-belatsihiny, ka dia nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no maka fanahy Ahy ianareo? Itondray denaria etỳ amiko hizahako azy.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? He, perceiving their artifice, answered, Why would you entangle me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 Dia nitondrany Izy. Ary hoy Izy taminy: An’ iza io sary sy soratra io? Ary hoy izy taminy: An’ i Kaisara.
When they had brought, he asked them, Whose is the image and inscription? They answered, Cesar's.
17 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aloavy ho an’ i Kaisara izay an’ i Kaisara, ary ho an’ Andriamanitra izay an’ Andriamanitra. Dia gaga taminy ireny.
Jesus replied, Render to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to God that which is God's. And they wondered at him.
18 Ary ny Sadoseo, izay milaza fa tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty, dia nisy sasany tonga teo aminy ka nanontany Azy hoe:
Then Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no future life, and proposed this questions:
19 Mpampianatra ô, Mosesy nanoratra ho antsika hoe: Raha misy manan-drahalahy maty momba, ka mbola velona ny vadin’ ny maty, dia aoka ny rahalahiny hampakatra azy hiteraka hamelo-maso ny rahalahiny.
Rabbi, Moses has enacted, that if a man's brother die, survived by a wife without children, he shall marry the widow, and raise issue to his brother.
20 Nisy fito mirahalahy; ary ny zokiny nampaka-bady, dia maty momba.
Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no issue.
21 Ary ny faharoa nampakatra an-dravehivavy, dia maty momba koa; ary ny fahatelo dia toy izany ihany koa.
The second married her, and died; neither did he leave any issue; so did also the third.
22 Ary izy fito mirahalahy dia samy maty momba avokoa. Koa faran’ izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.
Thus all seven married her, and left no issue. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 Koa amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, ho vadin’ iza moa ravehivavy, satria efa samy nanambady azy avokoa izy fito mirahalahy?
At the resurrection, therefore, when they are risen, to which of the seven will she belong; for she has been the wife of them all?
24 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy izao tsi-fahafantaranareo ny Soratra Masìna sy ny herin’ Andriamanitra izao va no mahadiso hevitra anareo?
Jesus answering, said to them, Is not this the source of your error, your not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Fa amin’ ny hitsanganana amin’ ny maty dia tsy hisy hampaka-bady na havoaka hampakarina; fa tahaka ny anjely any an-danitra izy.
For there will be neither marrying, nor giving in marriage, among them who rise from the dead. They will then resemble the angels.
26 Ka ny amin’ ny hananganana ny maty, tsy mbola novakinareo va ny eo amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy, eo amin’ ilay teny milaza ny Voaroy, dia ny nanaovan’ Andriamanitra taminy hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba?
But as to the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him in the bush, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
27 Tsy Andriamanitry ny maty Izy, fa an’ ny velona; koa diso indrindra ianareo.
God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. Therefore you greatly err.
28 Dia nanatona an’ i Jesosy ny mpanora-dalàna anankiray, izay efa nahare ny niadiany hevitra tamin’ ny Sadoseo ka nahalala fa namaly azy tsara Izy, dia nanontany Azy hoe: Ny didy manao ahoana no voalohany amin’ izy rehetra?
A scribe, who had heard them dispute, perceiving the justness of his reply, came to him, and proposed this question: Which is the chief commandment of all?
29 Ary Jesosy namaly hoe: Ny voalohany dia izao: Mihainoa, ry Isiraely: Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia Jehovah iray ihany;
Jesus answered, The chief of all the commandments is, "Hearken, Israel, the Lord is our God. The Lord is one:"
30 koa tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra sy ny sainao rehetra ary ny herinao rehetra.
and, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment.
31 Ary ny faharoa dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao. Tsy misy didy hafa lehibe noho ireo.
The second resembles it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these.
32 Ary hoy ilay mpanora-dalàna taminy: Marina izany, Tompoko; tsara ny nilazanao fa iray ihany Andriamanitra, ary tsy misy afa-tsy Izy.
The scribe replied, Truly, Rabbi, you have answered well. There is one, and only one;
33 Ary ny ho tia Azy amin’ ny fo rehetra sy ny saina rehetra sy ny hery rehetra, ary ny ho tia ny namana tahaka ny tena, dia mihoatra lavitra noho ny fanatitra hodorana sy ny fanatitra hafa rehetra izany.
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the spirit, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love one's self, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 Ary raha hitan’ i Jesosy fa namaly tamim-pahendrena izy, dia hoy Izy taminy: Tsy lavitra ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra ianao. Ary tsy nisy sahy nanontany Azy intsony.
Jesus observing how pertinently he had answered, said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that, no person ventured to put questions to him.
35 Ary Jesosy, raha nampianatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly, dia namaly ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no lazain’ ny mpanora-dalàna fa Kristy no Zanak’ i Davida?
As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he asked them, Why do you scribes assert, that the Messiah must be a son of David?
36 Kanefa ny tenan’ i Davida dia nampilazain’ ny Fanahy Masìna hoe: Jehovah nilaza tamin’ ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran-tongotrao.
Yet David, himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, says, "The Lord, said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your foes your footstool."
37 Ny tenan’ i Davida manao Azy hoe Tompo, koa ahoana no maha-zanany Azy? Ary ny vahoaka betsaka nihaino Azy tamin’ ny hafaliana.
David himself, therefore, calls him his Lord; how then can he be his son? And the common people heard him with delight.
38 Ary hoy Izy amin’ ny fampianarany: Mitandrema ny amin’ ny mpanora-dalàna izay mazoto mandehandeha miakanjo akanjo lava sy te-hoharabain’ olona eny an-tsena,
Further, in teaching, he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in robes; who love salutations in public places,
39 ary tia ny fipetrahana aloha ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny fitoerana aloha ao amin’ ny fanasana,
and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at entertainments;
40 ary mandany ny tranon’ ny mpitondratena ka manao vavaka lavareny mba ho fiolahana; ireo no hahazo fahamelohana mafimafy kokoa.
who devour the families of widows, and use long prayers for a disguise. They shall undergo the severest punishment.
41 Ary raha nipetraka tandrifin’ ny fandatsahan-drakitra Jesosy, dia nijery ny fandatsaky ny vahoaka tao; ary maro ny mpanankarena nandatsaka be tao.
And Jesus sitting opposite the treasury, observed the people throwing money into the treasury; and many rich persons put in much.
42 Fa nisy mpitondratena malahelo anankiray kosa tonga teo, ka nandatsaka farantsakely roa an-kevitry ny variroaventy avy.
Then the poor widow came, who threw in two mites, (which make a farthing.)
43 Ary Jesosy niantso ny mpianany hanatona Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa io mpitondratena malahelo io no efa nandatsaka be noho izay rehetra nandatsaka tao amin’ ny fandatsahan-drakitra.
Jesus having called his disciples, said to them, Indeed, I say to you, that this poor widow has given more than any of those who have thrown into the treasury;
44 Fa ireo rehetra ireo, dia tamin’ ny haben’ ny fananany ho nandatsahany tao; fa izy kosa, tamin’ ny alahelony no nandatsahany tao izay rehetra nananany, dia ny fivelomany rehetra.
for they all have contributed out of their superfluous stores; whereas she has given all the little she had--her whole living.
