Lioka 20
1 Teo amy andro rezay, ie nañoke ondatio añ’Anjomban’ Añahare ao naho nitaroñe i talili-soay, te nimb’ ama’e mb’eo o mpisorom-beio naho o mpanoki-dilio mitraoke amo roandriañeo,
On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,
2 nañontane aze ty hoe: Isaontsio: Lily hirik’ aia ty anoe’o o raha zao? ke Ia ty nanolots’ Azo o lily zao?
together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Hañontaneako raha raike hey, le isaontsio:
"I also will put a question to you, "He said;
4 ty filipora’ i Jaona—boak’ andindìñe añe hao ke hirik’ am’ ondaty?
"was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
5 Aa hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo: Naho ataontika t’ie nihirik’ andindiñ’ao, le hatoi’e ty hoe: Aa manao akore t’ie tsy niantofa’ areo?
So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 Fe naho ataontika ty hoe: Boak’ am’ondatio: le hene hametsa-bato aman-tika ondatio ie miantoke te nimpitoky t’i Jaona.
And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
7 Aa le tinoi’ iereo te tsy fohi’ iareo ty nihirifa’e.
And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
8 Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’iereo, Tsy hitaroñako ka ty lily anoeko o raha zao.
"Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
9 Namototse nandrazañe talily raike ka re am’ ondatio, Teo t’indaty nañalahala tetem-bahe le nafondro’e ami’ty mpiava; le nañavelo mb’eo vaho nitambatse añe.
Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Ie an-tsa’e, nirahe’e ty mpitoroñe homb’ amo mpiavao hitolora’e amy voka’ i tetem-bahey, f’ie trinabotrabo’ o mpiavao vaho nampolie’ iereo mañomaño.
At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Nañiraha’e mpitoroñe raike ka, f’ie linafa’ iereo naho nampisilofeñe vaho nampolie’ iereo hara’e.
Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
12 Mbe nañirake ty fahatelo’e: f’ie namonotrobo’ iereo vaho nanao soike aze.
Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
13 Le hoe ty tompo’ i tanem-bahey: Inoñ’ arè ty hanoeko? Hiraheko mb’eo ty anak’ isoko; ie oni’ iereo, le va’e himeñara’ iareo maso.
Then the owner of the vineyard said, "'What am I to do? I will send my son--my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
14 Fa ie nitalake’ o mpiavao, le nikinia ty hoe, Intike i mpandovay antao hañè-doza ama’e, le ho antika i lovay.
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
15 Aa le nafetsa’ iereo alafe’ i tondam-bahey re vaho vinono’ iereo. Inoñe henaneo ty hanoa’ i tompo-tetem-bahey?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Ho mb’eo re hanjamañe o mpiavao vaho hatolo’e am’ ondaty ila’eo i tetem-bahey. Ie nirendre’ ondatio izay le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Hete! Sondia’e any!
He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
17 Nitolik’ am’iareo t’Iesoà le nanao ty hoe: Abejaño arè i pinatetse ami’ty hoey: I vato nado’ o mpamboatseoy ty ninjare fehe-kotsoke.
He looked at them and said, "What then does that mean which is written, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone'?
18 Dorodòro ze mideboñe amy vato zay; le ho demohe’e ze igodoiña’e.
Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
19 Te ho nitsepak’ aze amy ora zay o mpisorom-beio naho o mpanoki-dilio, fe napota’iareo t’ie ty nitalifira’e i ohatsey fe nimarimariheñe i lahialeñey;
At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.
20 Aa le nivoñone’iereo naho nañirake mpitampoñe hihaboke havañonañe, hitsepak’ aze ami’ty tsara’e hanesea’ iereo ami’ty hery naho ty lili’ i ragovay.
So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.
21 Le hoe ty nañontanea’ iareo: O Talè, fohi’ay te to o saontsi’oo naho ty fanoroa’o, naho tsy eo ty irihia’o, vaho mahity ty fitaroña’o i satan’ Añaharey.
So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.
22 Aa vaho Hake hao ty androroña’ay amy Kaisara ke tsie?
Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
23 Niarofoana’ Iesoà ty hakalitaha’ iareo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty itsoha’ areo ahy?
But He saw through their knavery and replied,
24 Itoloro drala raike, Sare’ ia naho tahina’ ia ro ama’e eo? A i Kaisara, hoe iereo.
"Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
25 Le hoe t’Iesoà am’ iereo: Atoloro amy Kaisara arè ze a i Kaisara vaho an’ Andrianañahare ze an’ Andrianañahare.
"Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
26 Aa le tsy eo ty nahatsepak’ aze amo saontsi’eo añatrefa’ ondatio. Toe nahavereñe iereo i toi’ey, vaho nianjiñe.
There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
27 Niheo mb’ama’e o Tsadoke ila’eo; o tsy miantoke o fivañonan-ko veloñeoo, le hoe ty nañontanea’ iareo:
Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
28 O Talè, sinoki’ i Mosè aman-tika te, naho vilasy ty rahalahi’ ondaty amam-baly, ie mivetrake tsy aman’ anake, le soa te hengae’ i rahalahi’ey i ramavoiñey, hisamake, hameloñe tabiry ho a i rahalahi’ey.
"Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.
29 Aa le teo ty fito miroahalahy. Ty valoha’e nañenga valy fe nikoromake tsy aman-tiry,
Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
30 naho ty faharoe;
The second and the third also took her;
31 vaho nengae’ ty fahatelo ka; manahake izay, songa nihomake i roahalahy fito rey fe tsy nampipoke anake.
and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
32 Honka’e, nivilasy ka i rakembay.
Finally the woman also died.
33 Aa vaho ia ty ho vali’ i rakembay amy fivañonan-ko veloñey kanao songa nañenga aze ho vali’e i fito rey?
The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
"The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 F’ie volilien-ko mañeva hitakatse i haveloñey naho i fivañonam-beloñey, le tsy hañenga valy naho tsy hanoloram-baly, (aiōn g165)
But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 vaho tsy hihomake ka, fa hanahake o anjelio, mbore ho anan’ Añahare kanao ana’ i fivañonan-ko veloñey.
For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
37 Le i fivañonam-beloñey, ie i natoro’ i Mosè amy talili’ i rongoñey, te nikanjia’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme, naho Andrianañahare’ Isaka, vaho Andrianañahare’ Iakobe.
But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38 Ie tsy Andrianañahare’ o vilasio fa a o veloñeo, amy t’ie kila veloñe ama’e.
He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
39 Aa le tinoi’ o mpanoki-dily ila’eo ty hoe: O Talè, vantañe o saontsi’oo.
Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
40 Nifototse amy zay, tsy eo ty nahavany ontane ama’e ka.
From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
41 Le hoe t’Iesoà am’iereo: Aa vaho akore te saontsieñe te tiri’ i Davide i Norizañey?
But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
42 Amy te toe sinaontsi’ i Davide amy boken-Tsaboy ty hoe: Hoe t’ Iehovà amy Talèkoy: Mitoboha an-kavanako etoañe,
Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
43 Ampara-panoako fitongoam- pandia’o o rafelahi’oo.
Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
44 Aa kanao natao’ i Davide, Talè, re, ino ty maha-tiri’e aze?
"David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
45 Hoe t’Iesoà amo mpiama’eo añtrefa’ i lahialeñey:
Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
46 Itaò o mpanoki-dilio, ie mpidraidraitse an-tsarimbo mirebarebao, mpipay ty hañontanea’ ondaty an-tsena ao, mpitea ty fiambesa-tsoa am-pitontonañe ao hiagaregañe, naho ty tihy aolo amo sabadidakeo
"Beware of the Scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love to be bowed to in places of public resort and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues or at a dinner party;
47 mbore mpitavañe o trañom-bantotseo vaho loho mpipay tsiriry amo filolofa’ iareo mitoitoio. Hekoheko ty fatse am’iereo.
who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
