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.
Presently Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "There was once a man," he said, "who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine-press, built a tower, rented it to tenants, and 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.
At vintage-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers to collect some of the proceeds of the vineyard;
3 Fa ireo nisambotra ilay mpanompo sady nikapoka azy ka nampiala azy maina.
but they seized him, and flogged him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Ary izy naniraka mpanompo anankiray koa ho any aminy indray, fa io koa, dia noratrainy ny lohany, ka nalany baraka izy.
Then he sent another slave to them; and this man they knocked over the head and handled shamefully.
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.
And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others; beating some, and killing some.
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.
He had still one, a Son beloved, He sent him last to them, saying, "‘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 tenants said to themselves. ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Ary rehefa nisambotra azy izy, dia nahafaty azy sy namoaka azy teo ivelan’ ny tanim-boaloboka.
"So they took him and killed him, and threw his body out of the vineyard.
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 will the owner of the Vineyard do?" "He will come and put the tenants to death," they said, "and will 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 Scripture?" (he continued) "The very stone which the builders rejected Has now become the corner-stone;
11 Avy tamin’ i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika?
This is the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes."
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 kept seeking to lay hold on him, but were afraid of the crowd, for they knew well that he had spoken this parable about them; so they left him and went away.
13 Ary nirahiny hankeo amin’ i Jesosy ny sasany avy tamin’ ny Fariseo sy ny Herodiana hamandrika Azy amin’ ny teniny.
But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.
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?
So when they came, they said. "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and are not afraid of any one, for you do not regard the face of men; nay, but you reach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay poll- tax to Caesar 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 pay, or not pay?" But he, knowing well their hypocrisy, said to them. "Why are you testing me? Bring me a dollar for me to look at."
16 Dia nitondrany Izy. Ary hoy Izy taminy: An’ iza io sary sy soratra io? Ary hoy izy taminy: An’ i Kaisara.
And they brought it. "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" "Caesar’s," they answered.
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.
And Jesus said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God, the things that are God’s." They were amazed 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 came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.
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.
"Teacher, Moses taught us that if a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, but no child, that his brother is to marry the widow and to raise up a family for his brother.
20 Nisy fito mirahalahy; ary ny zokiny nampaka-bady, dia maty momba.
There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, and died leaving no family.
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 without offspring; the third likewise;
22 Ary izy fito mirahalahy dia samy maty momba avokoa. Koa faran’ izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.
and the seven had her, and died without issue.
23 Koa amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, ho vadin’ iza moa ravehivavy, satria efa samy nanambady azy avokoa izy fito mirahalahy?
And last of all the woman too died. In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the seven had her as wife."
24 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy izao tsi-fahafantaranareo ny Soratra Masìna sy ny herin’ Andriamanitra izao va no mahadiso hevitra anareo?
"Is not this the reason for your error," Jesus answered them, "that you know not the Scripture 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.
When they rise from the dead men do not marry, and women are not given in marriage, but they are as the angels are in heaven.
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 in regard to the rising again of the dead, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him, 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 the God of the dead, but of the living. You are in grave error."
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?
Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?"
29 Ary Jesosy namaly hoe: Ny voalohany dia izao: Mihainoa, ry Isiraely: Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia Jehovah iray ihany;
Jesus replied. "The first is. "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;
30 koa tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra sy ny sainao rehetra ary ny herinao rehetra.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
31 Ary ny faharoa dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao. Tsy misy didy hafa lehibe noho ireo.
"The second is this, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Other command greater than these there is none."
32 Ary hoy ilay mpanora-dalàna taminy: Marina izany, Tompoko; tsara ny nilazanao fa iray ihany Andriamanitra, ary tsy misy afa-tsy Izy.
"Admirably said, O Teacher," exclaimed the Scribe. "You have truthfully said that He is 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 that beside him there is none other, and to love him with all one’s heart and with all one’s understanding and with all one’s might, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself is far beyond all whole 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 saw that he had answered with discrimination, and said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question 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?
While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the 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.
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my Lord,’Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes the footstool of thy feet.’
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 then calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?" Now the great mass of the people were wont to listen to 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,
and in his teaching he said. "Look out for the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and to receive salutations in the street, and to have prominent places in the synagogues,
39 ary tia ny fipetrahana aloha ao amin’ ny synagoga sy ny fitoerana aloha ao amin’ ny fanasana,
and seats of honor at dinner-parties;
40 ary mandany ny tranon’ ny mpitondratena ka manao vavaka lavareny mba ho fiolahana; ireo no hahazo fahamelohana mafimafy kokoa.
they who consume the property of widows and make long, pretentious prayers. The greater shall their condemnation be."
41 Ary raha nipetraka tandrifin’ ny fandatsahan-drakitra Jesosy, dia nijery ny fandatsaky ny vahoaka tao; ary maro ny mpanankarena nandatsaka be tao.
Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums.
42 Fa nisy mpitondratena malahelo anankiray kosa tonga teo, ka nandatsaka farantsakely roa an-kevitry ny variroaventy avy.
There came also a poor widow who dropped in two little coins, worth a cent.
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.
On this he called his disciples to him, and said. "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings 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 have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."
