¹For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

¹Fa ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny lehilahy tompon-trano, izay nivoaka maraina koa hanakarama mpiasa ho any an-tanim-boalobony.

²And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

²Ary rehefa nifanekeny tamin'ny mpiasa fa ho denaria isan'andro ny karamany, dia nasainy nankany amin'ny tanim-boalobony ireny.

³And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

³Ary nivoaka tamin'ny ora fahatelo izy, dia nahita ny sasany nitoetra foana tany an-tsena,

⁴And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

⁴ka hoy izy taminy: Mandehana koa ianareo hankany amin'ny tanim-boaloboka, fa izay an-keviny marina dia homeko anareo. Ka dia lasa ireny.

⁵Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

⁵Ary nivoaka tamin'ny ora fahenina sy fahasivy indray izy ka nanao toy izany koa.

⁶And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

⁶Ary rehefa tokony ho tamin'ny ora fahiraika ambin'ny folo dia nivoaka izy ka nahita ny sasany mitoetra eo, dia hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no mitoetra foana eto mandritra ny andro?

⁷They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

⁷Hoy izy taminy: Satria tsy nisy olona nanakarama anay. Dia hoy ralehilahy taminy: Mandehana koa ianareo mankany amin'ny tanim-boaloboka.

⁸So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

⁸Ary rehefa hariva ny andro, dia hoy ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka tamin'ny mpitandrina ny raharahany: Antsoy ny mpiasa, ka aloavy ny karamany: atombohy amin'ireo taoriana ka vao hatramin'ireo voalohany.

⁹And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

⁹Ary rehefa tonga ireo nokaramaina tamin'ny ora fahiraika ambin'ny folo, dia nahazo denaria misesy avy izy.

¹⁰But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

¹⁰Fa rehefa tonga ireo voalohany, dia nanantena hahazo mihoatra izy; kanjo samy denaria misesy avy ihany no azony.

¹¹And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

¹¹Ary rehefa nahazo izany izy, dia nimonomonona tamin'ny tompon-trano ka nanao hoe:

¹²Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

¹²Ireo olona farany ireo dia niasa ora iray monja, kanefa nataonao mitovy aminay, izay niaritra ny fahatrotrahana sy ny hainandro.

¹³But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

¹³Fa izy namaly ka nanao tamin'ny anankiray amin'ireny hoe: Ry sakaiza, tsy mba manao izay tsy marina aminao aho; tsy efa denaria va no nifanekenao tamiko?

¹⁴Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

¹⁴Raiso ny anao, ka mandehana; fa ilay farany dia tiako homena toraka ny anao koa.

¹⁵Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

¹⁵Tsy mahazo manao izay tiako amin'ny ahy va aho? Ratsy va ny masonao, satria tsara aho?

¹⁶So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

¹⁶Dia toy izany, ny farany ho voalohany, ary ny voalohany ho farany.

¹⁷And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

¹⁷Ary Jesosy, nony niakatra ho any Jerosalema, dia naka mangingina ny mpianatra roa ambin'ny folo lahy ka niteny taminy teny an-dalana hoe:

¹⁸Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

¹⁸Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika; ary ny Zanak'olona hatolotra ho amin'ireo lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna, dia hohelohiny ho faty Izy

¹⁹And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

¹⁹ka hatolony amin'ny jentilisa mba hataony ho fihomehezana sy hokapohiny sy hohomboany amin'ny hazo fijaliana; ary amin'ny andro fahatelo dia hatsangana indray Izy.

²⁰Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

²⁰Ary tamin'izany dia nanatona an'i Jesosy ny renin'ny zanak'i Zebedio mbamin'ny zananilahy, dia niankohoka ka nangataka zavatra taminy.

²¹And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

²¹Ary hoy Izy taminy: Inona no irinao? Dia hoy ravehivavy taminy: Mandidia mba hipetrahan'ireto zanako roa lahy ireto, ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny ankavananao, ary ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny ankavianao, ao amin'ny fanjakanao.

²²But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

²²Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatrareo izay angatahinareo; hainareo va ny misotro amin'ny kapoaka izay efa hisotroako? Hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Hainay ihany.

²³And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

²³Hoy kosa Izy taminy: Hisotro amin'ny kapoakako tokoa ianareo; fa ny hipetraka eo an-tanako ankavanana sy eo an-tanako ankavia, dia tsy Ahy ny hanome izany; fa izay nanamboaran'ny Raiko izany no homena.

²⁴And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

²⁴Ary nony nandre izany izy folo lahy, dia tezitra noho ny nataon'izy mirahalahy.

²⁵But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

²⁵Fa Jesosy niantso azy hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Fantatrareo fa ny andrianan'ny jentilisa mampanompo azy tokoa, ary ny lehibeny manapaka azy fatratra.

²⁶But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

²⁶Fa tsy mba ho toy izany aminareo; fa izay te-ho lehibe aminareo dia ho mpanompo anareo;

²⁷And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

²⁷ary izay te-ho ambony indrindra aminareo dia ho mpanomponareo.

²⁸Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

²⁸Fa tahaka izany, ny Zanak'olona tsy tonga mba hotompoina, fa mba hanompo ka hanolotra ny ainy ho avotra hisolo ny maro.

²⁹And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

²⁹Ary raha niala tao Jeriko izy, dia nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

³⁰And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

³⁰Ary, indreo, nisy jamba roa lahy nipetraka teo amoron-dalana, ary nony reny fa Jesosy no mandalo, dia niantso izy ka nanao hoe: Mamindrà fo aminay, ry Tompo, Zanak'i Davida ô!

³¹And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

³¹Ary ny vahoaka niteny mafy azy mba hangina; fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Mamindrà fo aminay, ry Tompo, Zanak'i Davida ô!

³²And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?

³²Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia niantso azy ka nanao hoe: Inona no tianareo hataoko aminareo?

³³They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

³³Hoy izy taminy: Tompoko ô, ny mba hampahiratina ny masonay.Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka nanendry ny masony; ary nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay izy, dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

³⁴So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

³⁴Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka nanendry ny masony; ary nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay izy, dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.
