¹ “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers 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.

² When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius A denarius is a silver Roman coin worth 1/25th of a Roman aureus. This was a common wage for a day of farm labor. 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.

³ He went out about the third hour, Time was measured from sunrise to sunset, so the third hour would be about 9:00 AM. and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

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

⁴ To them he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So 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.

⁵ Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, noon and 3:00 P. M. and did likewise.

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

⁶ About the eleventh hour 5:00 PM he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all 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?

⁷ “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

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

⁸ When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last 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.

⁹ “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

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

¹⁰ When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

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

¹¹ When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

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

¹² saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’

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

¹³ “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you 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?

¹⁴ Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

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

¹⁵ Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

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

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

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

¹⁷As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he 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:

¹⁸ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered 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

¹⁹ and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

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 the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking 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.

²¹He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your 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, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said 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.

²³He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by 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.

²⁴When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

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

²⁵But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones 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.

²⁶ It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be TR reads “let him be” instead of “shall be” your servant.

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

²⁷ Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

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

²⁸ even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as 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.

²⁹As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

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

³⁰Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you 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!

³¹The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you 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!

³²Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

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

³³They told 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.

³⁴Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their 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.
