Matio 22
1 Ary Jesosy namaly, dia nilaza fanoharana taminy indray ka nanao hoe:
AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying,
2 Ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny mpanjaka, izay nanao fanasana fampakaram-bady ho an’ ny zananilahy.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:
3 Ary izy naniraka ny mpanompony hiantso izay efa nasaina mba hankao amin’ ny fampakaram-bady; fa tsy nety ho avy ireo.
and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.
4 Dia naniraka mpanompo hafa koa indray izy ka nanao hoe: Lazao amin’ ny efa nasaina hoe: Indro, efa voavoatra ny nahandroko; efa voavono ny ombiko sy ny nafahiko, ka efa voavoatra avokoa ny zavatra rehetra; koa mankanesa atỳ amin’ ny fampakaram-bady ianareo.
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.
5 Nefa tsy nahoany akory izany, fa samy lasa nandeha izy, ny anankiray ho any amin’ ny sahany, ary ny anankiray ho any amin’ ny varony.
But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick:
6 Ary ny sisa nisambotra ny mpanompony, dia nisetrasetra taminy ka namono azy.
And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them.
7 Ary dia tezitra ilay mpanjaka ka naniraka ny miaramilany, dia nandringana izany mpamono olona izany sady nandoro ny tanànany.
Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.
8 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Efa voavoatra ny fampakaram-bady, fa ny efa nasaina no tsy miendrika.
Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:
9 Koa mankanesa ianareo any amin’ ny sampanan-dalana, ary izay hitanareo, dia asao ho ao amin’ ny fampakaram-bady.
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.
10 Dia nivoaka ho any amin’ ny lalana ireny mpanompo ireny ka namory izay rehetra hitany, na ny ratsy, na ny tsara; ary dia feno mpihinana ny fampakaram-bady.
So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.
11 Ary nony efa niditra ny mpanjaka hizaha ny mpihinana, dia nahita lehilahy anankiray izay tsy niakanjo ny akanjo fitondra amin’ ny fampakaram-bady.
Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment:
12 Dia hoy izy taminy: Ry sakaiza, ahoana no idiranao eto, nefa ianao tsy miakanjo ny akanjo fitondra amin’ ny fampakaram-bady? Dia sina izy.
and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.
13 Ary dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpanompony: Afatory ny tongony aman-tànany, dia ario any amin’ ny maizina any ivelany izy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Fa maro no antsoina, nefa vitsy no fidina.
For many are called, but few elect.
15 Ary tamin’ izay dia lasa ny Fariseo ka niara-nisaina mba hamandrika Azy amin’ ny teniny.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.
16 Dia naniraka ny mpianany mbamin’ ny Herodiana hankeo aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, fantatray fa marina Hianao ka mampianatra marina ny lalan’ Andriamanitra ary tsy manahy olona, satria tsy mba mizaha tavan’ olona.
And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:
17 Koa lazao aminay ary izay hevitrao: Moa mety va ny mandoa vola hetra ho an’ i Kaisara, sa tsia?
tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Fa Jesosy nahalala ny faharatsiany, dia nanao hoe: Nahoana no maka fanahy Ahy ianareo, ry mpihatsaravelatsihy?
But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Asehoy Ahy ny farantsakely fandoa amin’ ny hetra. Dia nitondrany denaria Izy.
Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.
20 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: An’ iza ity sary sy soratra ity?
And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?
21 Hoy izy taminy: An’ i Kaisara. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aloavy ho an’ i Kaisara ary izay an’ i Kaisara, ary ho an’ Andriamanitra izay an’ Andriamanitra.
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s; and to God, the things which are God’s.
22 Ary nony nahare izy, dia gaga, ary dia nandao Azy ka lasa nandeha.
And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
23 Tamin’ izany andro izany dia nankeo amin’ i Jesosy ny Sadoseo sasany, izay milaza fa tsy misy fitsanganan’ ny maty, ka nanontany Azy hoe:
On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,
24 Mpampianatra ô, Mosesy nilaza hoe: Raha misy maty momba, aoka ny rahalahiny hampakatra ny vadiny ka hiteraka hamelo-maso ny rahalahiny.
saying, Master, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.”
25 Koa nisy fito mirahalahy tetỳ aminay; ary ny zokiny nampaka-bady, dia maty, ary satria tsy nanan-janaka iry, dia navelany ho an’ ny rahalahiny ny vadiny;
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;
26 ary toy izany koa ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo, hatramin’ ny fahafito.
likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven.
27 Koa faran’ izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.
Last of all the woman died also.
28 Ary amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, ho vadin’ iza amin’ izy fito mirahalahy moa ravehivavy? satria efa samy nanambady azy avokoa izy rehetra.
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mahadiso hevitra anareo ny tsi-fahafantaranareo ny Soratra Masìna na ny herin’ Andriamanitra.
Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.
30 Fa amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty dia tsy mba hisy hampaka-bady, na havoaka hampakarina, fa ho tahaka ny anjely any an-danitra izy.
For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Fa ny amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, moa tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny nataon’ Andriamanitra taminareo manao hoe:
But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying,
32 Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba? Andriamanitra tsy an’ ny maty, fa an’ ny velona.
“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?” God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Ary ny vahoaka, raha nandre, dia talanjona tamin’ ny fampianarany.
And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine.
34 Fa ny Fariseo, nony nandre fa nampahasina ny Sadoseo Izy, dia niangona.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees’ mouths, they assembled together:
35 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ireo, izay mpahay lalàna, nanontany naka fanahy Azy ka nanao hoe:
and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,
36 Mpampianatra ô, ny didy manao ahoana moa no lehibe ao amin’ ny lalàna?
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ary ny sainao rehetra.
Then Jesus said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
38 Izany no didy lehibe sady voalohany.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Ary ny faharoa, izay tahaka azy ihany, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao.
And the second is like to it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
40 Izany didy roa izany no ihantonan’ ny lalàna rehetra sy ny mpaminany.
On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Ary rehefa tafangona ny Fariseo, dia nanontany azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe:
The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them,
42 Ahoana no hevitrareo ny amin’ i Kristy? Zanak’ iza moa Izy? Hoy izy taminy: Zanak’ i Davida.
saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David’s.
43 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Koa nahoana ary Davida amin’ ny Fanahy no manao Azy hoe Tompo, ka manao hoe:
He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,
44 Jehovah nilaza tamin’ ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho eo ambanin’ ny tongotrao?
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet.”
45 Koa raha Davida ary manao Azy hoe Tompo, ahoana no maha-zanany Azy?
If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Dia tsy nisy nahavaly Azy na dia teny iray akory aza; ary hatramin’ izay andro izay dia tsy nisy sahy nanontany Azy intsony.
And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.
