¹And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,

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

²The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,

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

³and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, 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 other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

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, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

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 rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].

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

⁷And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

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

⁸Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

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

⁹go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.

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

¹⁰And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast 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 the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with 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 says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But 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 feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the 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 ones, but few chosen ones.

¹⁴Fa maro no antsoina, nefa vitsy no fidina.

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.

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

¹⁶And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

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 thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

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

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

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

¹⁹Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.

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

²⁰And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?

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

²¹They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

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.

²²And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.

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

²³On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of 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, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to 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 having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to 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;

²⁶In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.

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

²⁷And last of all the woman also died.

²⁷Koa faran'izy rehetra dia maty koa ravehivavy.

²⁸In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for 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.

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, Ye 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 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 concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

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

³²*I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not 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 crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.

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

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

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

³⁵And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,

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

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

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

³⁷And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.

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] great and first commandment.

³⁸Izany no didy lehibe sady voalohany.

³⁹And [the] second is like 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 the whole law and the prophets hang.

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

⁴¹And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,

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

⁴²saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.

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

⁴³He says to them, How then does 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 to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?

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

⁴⁵If therefore David 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 one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.

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