Luke 20

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

Ary tamin'ny andro anankiray, raha nampianatra ny olona teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nitory ny filazantsara, dia nanatona ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

ka niteny taminy hoe: Lazao aminay: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao zavatra izao? ary iza no nanome Anao izany fahefana izany?

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa mba hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha, ka lazao amiko:

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

Ny batisan'i Jaona avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona?

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

Dia niara-nisaina izy ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hataony hoe: Nahoana no tsy nino azy ianareo?

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

Fa raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, dia hitora-bato antsika ny vahoaka rehetra, satria inoany ho mpaminany Jaona.

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

Dia namaly ireo fa tsy fantany izay nihaviany.

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao.

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Dia nilaza izao fanoharana izao tamin'ny olona Izy ka nanao hoe: Nisy lehilahy anankiray nanao tanim-boaloboka, ka nahofany tamin'olona mpiasa tany izany, dia nandeha nitoetra ela tany an-tany hafa izy.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Ary tamin'ny fotoana dia naniraka mpanompo hankany amin'ny mpiasa tany izy mba handray amin'ny vokatry ny tanim-boaloboka; fa ny mpiasa tany nikapoka azy ka nampandeha azy maina.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Dia naniraka mpanompo anankiray koa izy; ary nokapohiny mafy koa iny sady nalany baraka ka nampandehaniny maina.

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Dia naniraka anankiray koa izy; ary iny koa dia nataony naratra ka noroahiny.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

Dia hoy ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka: Inona re no hataoko? Haniraka ny zanako malalako aho; angamba hanaja azy izy.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Fa raha nahita iny ny mpiasa tany, dia niara-nisaina izy ka nanao hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika io, mba ho antsika ny lova.

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

Dia namoaka azy tany ivelan'ny tanim-boaloboka izy ka namono azy. Hataon'ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka ahoana moa izy amin'izany?

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

Hankany izy, dia hamono ireo mpiasa tany ireo, ka homeny olon-kafa ny tanim-boaloboka. Ary raha nahare izany ireo, dia hoy izy: Sanatria izany!

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Ary Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Ahoana moa izao voasoratra izao: Ny vato izay nolavin'ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro? (Sal. 118. 22).

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Izay rehetra potraka amin'izany vato izany dia ho torotoro; fa na iza na iza no ianjerany dia ho mongomongo.

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Ary tamin'izany ora izany dia nitady hisambotra Azy ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona; nefa natahotra ny olona izy, satria fantany fa izy no nolazainy tamin'izany fanoharana izany.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

Ary nizaha taratra an'i Jesosy izy ka naniraka mpitsikilo, izay nody ho marina, mba hamandrika Azy amin'ny teniny, hanolorany Azy ho amin'ny hery sy ny fahefan'ny governora.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

Ary ireo nanontany Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, fantatray fa miteny sy mampianatra marina Hianao ka tsy mizaha tavan'olona, fa mampianatra marina ny lalan'Andriamanitra:

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?

Mety va raha mandoa vola hetra ho an'i Kaisara izahay, sa tsia?

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

Fa Jesosy nahafantatra ny fihendreny ka nanao taminy hoe:

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar's.

Mampisehoa denaria amiko. An'iza moa io sary sy soratra eo aminy io? Hoy ireo: An'i Kaisara.

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aloavy ho an'i Kaisara ary izay an'i Kaisara, ary ho an'Andriamanitra izay an'Andriamanitra.

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

Ary tsy sahiny nitanana Azy teo anatrehan'ny olona izany teny izany sady gaga izy noho ny famaliny ka nangina.

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

Ary ny sasany tamin'ny Sadoseo, izay milaza fa tsy misy fitsanganan'ny maty, dia nanatona ka nanontany Azy hoe:

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Mpampianatra ô, Mosesy nanoratra ho antsika hoe: Raha misy manan-drahalahy maty momba, ka mbola velona ny vadin'ny maty, dia aoka ny rahalahiny hampakatra an-dravehivavy ka hiteraka hamelo-maso ny rahalahiny (Deo. 25. 5).

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

Koa nisy fito mirahalahy; ary ny zokiny nampaka-bady, dia maty momba.

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

Ary ny faharoa

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

sy ny fahatelo koa nampakatra azy; ary tahaka izany avokoa no nataon'izy fito mirahalahy; nefa maty momba avokoa izy.

Last of all the woman died also.

Ary farany dia maty koa ravehivavy.

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

Koa amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty ho vadin'iza moa ravehivavy? fa samy efa nanambady azy avokoa izy fito mirahalahy.

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Ny zanak'izao fiainana izao dia mampaka-bady sady avoaka hampakarina;

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

fa izay atao miendrika hahazo izany fiainana izany sy ny fitsanganana amin'ny maty kosa dia tsy raha mampaka-bady, na avoaka hampakarina;

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

ary tsy mety maty intsony izy, fa mitovy amin'ny anjely sady zanak'Andriamanitra, satria zanaky ny fitsanganana amin'ny maty.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Ary Mosesy aza nanambara teo amin'ilay teny milaza ny Voaroy fa hatsangana ny maty, raha nilaza an'i Jehovah hoe Andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr'isaka ary Andriamanitr'i Jakoba (Eks. 3. 6).

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Fa Izy tsy mba Andriamanitry ny maty, fa an'ny velona; fa velona ho an'Andriamanitra avokoa izy rehetra.

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

Ary ny mpanora-dalàna sasany namaly ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, marina izay nolazainao.

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

Fa tsy nisy sahy nanontany Azy intsony ireo.

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ahoana no lazaina fa Kristy no Zanak'i Davida?

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Fa Davida ihany no milaza eo amin'ny bokin'ny Salamo hoe: Jehovah nilaza tamin'ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran'ny tongotrao (Sal. 110. 1).

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

Davida amin'izany manao Azy hoe Tompo; koa ahoana no maha-Zanany Azy?

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany teo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra:

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Mitandrema ny amin'ny mpanora-dalàna, izay mazoto mandehandeha miakanjo akanjo lava, ary te-hoharabain'ny olona eny an-tsena, sady tia ny fipetrehana aloha eo amin'ny synagoga sy ny fitoerana aloha eo amin'ny fanasana,

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

ary mandany ny tranon'ny mpitondratena sy manao vavaka lavareny mba ho fiolahana; ireo dia hahazo fahamelohana mafimafy kokoa.
