Matio 22
1 Ary Jesosy namaly, dia nilaza fanoharana taminy indray ka nanao hoe:
Yeshua [Salvation] answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2 Ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny mpanjaka, izay nanao fanasana fampakaram-bady ho an’ ny zananilahy.
“The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like 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 out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but 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 out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to 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 made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 Ary ny sisa nisambotra ny mpanompony, dia nisetrasetra taminy ka namono azy.
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Ary dia tezitra ilay mpanjaka ka naniraka ny miaramilany, dia nandringana izany mpamono olona izany sady nandoro ny tanànany.
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned 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 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 to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.’
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.
Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled 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.
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
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 said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ 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 the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Fa maro no antsoina, nefa vitsy no fidina.
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Ary tamin’ izay dia lasa ny Fariseo ka niara-nisaina mba hamandrika Azy amin’ ny teniny.
Then the Pharisees [Separated] went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
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.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.
17 Koa lazao aminay ary izay hevitrao: Moa mety va ny mandoa vola hetra ho an’ i Kaisara, sa tsia?
Tell us what you think: Does Torah ·Teaching· permit paying taxes to Caesar [Ruler], or not?”
18 Fa Jesosy nahalala ny faharatsiany, dia nanao hoe: Nahoana no maka fanahy Ahy ianareo, ry mpihatsaravelatsihy?
But Yeshua [Salvation] perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Asehoy Ahy ny farantsakely fandoa amin’ ny hetra. Dia nitondrany denaria Izy.
Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius [one day’s wage].
20 Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: An’ iza ity sary sy soratra ity?
He asked them, “Whose is this image 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 said to him, “Caesar’s [Ruler]’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar [Ruler] the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Ary nony nahare izy, dia gaga, ary dia nandao Azy ka lasa nandeha.
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and 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 that day Sadducees [Morally-upright] (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him hard questions,
24 Mpampianatra ô, Mosesy nilaza hoe: Raha misy maty momba, aoka ny rahalahiny hampakatra ny vadiny ka hiteraka hamelo-maso ny rahalahiny.
saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, Moses [Drawn out] said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring 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. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 ary toy izany koa ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo, hatramin’ ny fahafito.
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Koa faran’ izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.
After them all, the woman died.
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 will 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.
But Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor 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 in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 Fa ny amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty, moa tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny nataon’ Andriamanitra taminareo manao hoe:
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by 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 [Father of a multitude], and the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter]?’ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Ary ny vahoaka, raha nandre, dia talanjona tamin’ ny fampianarany.
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Fa ny Fariseo, nony nandre fa nampahasina ny Sadoseo Izy, dia niangona.
But the Pharisees [Separated], when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees [Morally-upright], gathered themselves together.
35 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ireo, izay mpahay lalàna, nanontany naka fanahy Azy ka nanao hoe:
One of them, a Torah-expert, asked him a question, testing him.
36 Mpampianatra ô, ny didy manao ahoana moa no lehibe ao amin’ ny lalàna?
“Rabbi ·Teacher·, which of the mitzvot ·instructions· in the Torah ·Teaching· is the most important?”
37 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ary ny sainao rehetra.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “‘You shall have agapao ·total devotion love· to MarYah [Master Yahweh] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 Izany no didy lehibe sady voalohany.
This is the greatest and most important mitzvah ·instruction·.
39 Ary ny faharoa, izay tahaka azy ihany, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao.
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’
40 Izany didy roa izany no ihantonan’ ny lalàna rehetra sy ny mpaminany.
All of the Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets depend on these two mitzvot ·instructions·.”
41 Ary rehefa tafangona ny Fariseo, dia nanontany azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe:
Now while the Pharisees [Separated] were gathered together, Yeshua [Salvation] asked them a question,
42 Ahoana no hevitrareo ny amin’ i Kristy? Zanak’ iza moa Izy? Hoy izy taminy: Zanak’ i Davida.
saying, “What do you think of the Messiah [Anointed one]? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David [Beloved].”
43 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Koa nahoana ary Davida amin’ ny Fanahy no manao Azy hoe Tompo, ka manao hoe:
He said to them, “How then does David [Beloved] in haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] call him MarYah [Master Yahweh], saying,
44 Jehovah nilaza tamin’ ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho eo ambanin’ ny tongotrao?
‘Yahweh said to 'adoni ·my Lord·, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’?
45 Koa raha Davida ary manao Azy hoe Tompo, ahoana no maha-zanany Azy?
“If then David [Beloved] calls him MarYah [Master Yahweh], in what way can he be 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.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more hard questions from that day forward.
