¹For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for 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 having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the 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 having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;

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

⁴and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just 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, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.

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

⁶But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to 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 to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive].

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

⁸But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay [them] their wages, beginning from the last even to 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 [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

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

¹⁰And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.

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

¹¹And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

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

¹²saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.

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

¹³But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?

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 what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to 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 in my own affairs? 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?

¹⁶Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

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

¹⁷And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to 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 will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will 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 they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, 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 the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something 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 to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak [the word] that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy 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.

²²And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which *I* am about to drink? They say to 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.

²³[And] he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on [my] left, is not mine to give, but to those 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 the ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.

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

²⁵But Jesus having called them to [him], said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over 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.

²⁶It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;

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

²⁷and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;

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

²⁸as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, 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 went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.

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

³⁰And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, 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!

³¹But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, 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, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

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

³³They say to 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.

³⁴And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.

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