¹And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

¹Ary Jesosy namaly, dia nilaza fanoharana taminy indray ka nanao hoe:

²The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

²Ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny mpanjaka, izay nanao fanasana fampakaram-bady ho an'ny zananilahy.

³And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

³Ary izy naniraka ny mpanompony hiantso izay efa nasaina mba hankao amin'ny fampakaram-bady; fa tsy nety ho avy ireo.

⁴Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

⁴Dia 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.

⁵But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

⁵Nefa tsy nahoany akory izany, fa samy lasa nandeha izy, ny anankiray ho any amin'ny sahany, ary ny anankiray ho any amin'ny varony.

⁶And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

⁶Ary ny sisa nisambotra ny mpanompony, dia nisetrasetra taminy ka namono azy.

⁷But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

⁷Ary dia tezitra ilay mpanjaka ka naniraka ny miaramilany, dia nandringana izany mpamono olona izany sady nandoro ny tanànany.

⁸Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

⁸Dia hoy izy tamin'ny mpanompony: Efa voavoatra ny fampakaram-bady, fa ny efa nasaina no tsy miendrika.

⁹Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

⁹Koa mankanesa ianareo any amin'ny sampanan-dalana, ary izay hitanareo, dia asao ho ao amin'ny fampakaram-bady.

¹⁰So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

¹⁰Dia 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.

¹¹And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

¹¹Ary nony efa niditra ny mpanjaka hizaha ny mpihinana, dia nahita lehilahy anankiray izay tsy niakanjo ny akanjo fitondra amin'ny fampakaram-bady.

¹²And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

¹²Dia hoy izy taminy: Ry sakaiza, ahoana no idiranao eto, nefa ianao tsy miakanjo ny akanjo fitondra amin'ny fampakaram-bady? Dia sina izy.

¹³Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³Ary 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.

¹⁴For many are called, but few are chosen.

¹⁴Fa maro no antsoina, nefa vitsy no fidina.

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

¹⁵Ary tamin'izay dia lasa ny Fariseo ka niara-nisaina mba hamandrika Azy amin'ny teniny.

¹⁶And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

¹⁶Dia 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.

¹⁷Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

¹⁷Koa lazao aminay ary izay hevitrao: Moa mety va ny mandoa vola hetra ho an'i Kaisara, sa tsia?

¹⁸But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

¹⁸Fa Jesosy nahalala ny faharatsiany, dia nanao hoe: Nahoana no maka fanahy Ahy ianareo, ry mpihatsaravelatsihy?

¹⁹Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

¹⁹Asehoy Ahy ny farantsakely fandoa amin'ny hetra. Dia nitondrany denaria Izy.

²⁰And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

²⁰Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: An'iza ity sary sy soratra ity?

²¹They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

²¹Hoy 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.

²²When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

²²Ary nony nahare izy, dia gaga, ary dia nandao Azy ka lasa nandeha.

²³The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

²³Tamin'izany andro izany dia nankeo amin'i Jesosy ny Sadoseo sasany, izay milaza fa tsy misy fitsanganan'ny maty, ka nanontany Azy hoe:

²⁴Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁴Mpampianatra ô, Mosesy nilaza hoe: Raha misy maty momba, aoka ny rahalahiny hampakatra ny vadiny ka hiteraka hamelo-maso ny rahalahiny (Deo. 25. 5).

²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

²⁵Koa 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;

²⁶Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

²⁶ary toy izany koa ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo, hatramin'ny fahafito.

²⁷And last of all the woman died also.

²⁷Koa faran'izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.

²⁸Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

²⁸Ary amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty, ho vadin'iza amin'izy fito mirahalahy moa ravehivavy? satria efa samy nanambady azy avokoa izy rehetra.

²⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

²⁹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mahadiso hevitra anareo ny tsi-fahafantaranareo ny Soratra Masina na ny herin'Andriamanitra.

³⁰For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

³⁰Fa amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty dia tsy mba hisy hampaka-bady, na havoaka hampakarina, fa ho tahaka ny anjely any an-danitra izy.[Na: (anjelin'Andriamanitra)]

³¹But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

³¹Fa ny amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty, moa tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny nataon'Andriamanitra taminareo manao hoe:

³²I 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.

³²Izaho no Andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr'isaka ary Andriamanitr'i Jakoba (Eks. 3. 6)? Andriamanitra tsy an'ny maty, fa an'ny velona.

³³And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

³³Ary ny vahoaka, raha nandre, dia talanjona tamin'ny fampianarany.

³⁴But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

³⁴Fa ny Fariseo, nony nandre fa nampahasina ny Sadoseo Izy, dia niangona.

³⁵Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁵Ary ny anankiray tamin'ireo, izay mpahay lalàna, nanontany naka fanahy Azy ka nanao hoe:

³⁶Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁶Mpampianatra ô, ny didy manao ahoana moa no lehibe ao amin'ny lalàna?

³⁷Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁷Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tiava an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin'ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ary ny sainao rehetra (Deo. 6. 5).

³⁸This is the first and great commandment.

³⁸Izany no didy lehibe sady voalohany.

³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

³⁹Ary ny faharoa, izay tahaka azy ihany, dia izao: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19. 18).

⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

⁴⁰Izany didy roa izany no ihantonan'ny lalàna rehetra sy ny mpaminany.

⁴¹While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

⁴¹Ary rehefa tafangona ny Fariseo, dia nanontany azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe:

⁴²Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

⁴²Ahoana no hevitrareo ny amin'i Kristy? Zanak'iza moa Izy? Hoy izy taminy: Zanak'i Davida.

⁴³He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴³Hoy Jesosy taminy: Koa nahoana ary Davida amin'ny Fanahy no manao Azy hoe Tompo, ka manao hoe:

⁴⁴The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

⁴⁴Jehovah nilaza tamin'ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho eo ambanin'ny tongotrao (Sal. 110. 1)?

⁴⁵If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁵Koa raha Davida ary manao Azy hoe Tompo, ahoana no maha-zanany Azy?Dia tsy nisy nahavaly Azy na dia teny iray akory aza; ary hatramin'izay andro izay dia tsy nisy sahy nanontany Azy intsony.

⁴⁶And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

⁴⁶Dia tsy nisy nahavaly Azy na dia teny iray akory aza; ary hatramin'izay andro izay dia tsy nisy sahy nanontany Azy intsony.
