¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

¹Ary raha niditra mba hihinana tao an-tranon'ny loholona anankiray amin'ny Fariseo Izy tamin'ny Sabata, dia nizaha taratra Azy ireo.

²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

²Ary, indro, nisy olona manirano anankiray teo anatrehany.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

³Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao tamin'ny mpahay lalàna sy ny Fariseo hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin'ny Sabata, sa tsia?

⁴And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

⁴Fa tsy niteny ireo. Ary Izy nanendry ilay marary, dia nahasitrana azy ka nandefa azy handeha.

⁵And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

⁵Ary Izy nanao tamin'ireo hoe: Iza moa aminareo, raha manana boriky na omby latsaka ao an-davaka fantsakana, no tsy hampakatra azy miaraka amin'izay na dia amin'ny andro Sabata aza?

⁶And they could not answer him again to these things.

⁶Ary tsy nahavaly ny amin'izany zavatra izany izy.

⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

⁷Ary Jesosy nanao fanoharana tamin'izay nasaina, raha nahita azy mifidy ny fitoerana aloha, ka nanao taminy hoe:

⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

⁸Raha misy maka anao ho any amin'ny fampakaram-bady, aza mipetraka eo amin'ny fitoerana aloha, fandrao hisy olona nalaina izay mihaja kokoa noho ianao,

⁹And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

⁹ary ho avy izay nanasa anao sy izy ka hilaza aminao hoe: Omeo toerana io olona io: dia ho menatra ianao ka hifindra ho any amin'ny fitoerana aoriana indrindra.

¹⁰But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

¹⁰Fa raha misy manasa anao, mandehana ka mipetraha eo amin'ny fitoerana aoriana indrindra, ary rehefa tonga ilay nanasa anao, dia mahazo manao aminao hoe: Ry sakaiza, mandrosoa etsy alohaloha kokoa; dia hahazo haja eo imason'izay rehetra miara-mipetraka mihinana aminao ianao.

¹¹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Fa izay rehetra manandra-tena no haetry; ary izay manetry tena no hasandratra.

¹²Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

¹²Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ilay nanasa Azy kosa: Raha manasa olona amin'ny sakafo antoandro na ny sakafo hariva ianao, dia aza ny sakaizanao, na ny rahalahinao, na ny havanao, na ny namanao manan-karena, no asainao, fandrao hanasa anao kosa ireo, ka dia ho voavaliny ianao.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹³Fa raha manao fanasana ianao, dia asao ny malahelo, ny kilemaina, ny mandringa, ny jamba;

¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴dia ho sambatra ianao, satria tsy mba manan-kavaly ireo; fa hovaliana kosa ianao amin'ny fitsanganan'ny marina.

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Ary ny anankiray tamin'izay niara-nipetraka nihinana taminy dia nandre izany ka nanao taminy hoe: Sambatra izay hihinan-kanina ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁶Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

¹⁶Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nisy olona anankiray nanao fanasana lehibe ka nanasa olona maro.

¹⁷And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

¹⁷Ary naniraka ny mpanompony izy tamin'ny fotoana fisakafoana hilaza amin'izay efa nasaina hoe: Andeha, fa efa voavoatra izao ny fanasana.

¹⁸And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁸Fa izy rehetra dia nitovy saina, ka samy nanao fialàna. Hoy ny voalohany taminy: Efa nividy tany aho ka tsy maintsy mandeha hizaha azy; masìna ianao, ekeo ny fandavako.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nividy omby folo aho ka handeha hamantatra azy; masìna ianao, ekeo ny fandavako.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁰Ary hoy ny anankiray koa: Efa nampaka-bady aho, koa amin'izany tsy afaka mankany.

²¹So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

²¹Ary nony tonga ilay mpanompo, dia nambarany tamin'ny tompony izany. Dia tezitra ny tompon-trano ka nanao tamin'ilay mpanompony hoe: Mandehana faingana ho eny amin'ny lalambe sy ny sakeli-dalana eto an-tanàna, ka ampidiro ny malahelo sy ny kilemaina sy ny jamba ary ny mandringa.

²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

²²Ary hoy ilay mpanompo: Tompoko, efa natao izay nandidianao, ary mbola tsy feno ihany ny trano.

²³And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

²³Ary hoy ny tompo tamin'ilay mpanompony: Mandehana ho eny amin'ny lalambe sy ny sisim-boly, ka tereo ny olona hiditra, mba ho feno ny tranoko.

²⁴For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Fa lazaiko aminareo: Tsy hisy hanandrana ny nahandroko ireny olona nasaiko ireny na dia iray akory aza.

²⁵And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁵Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka niaraka tamin'i Jesosy, dia nitodika Izy ka nanao taminy hoe:

²⁶If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁶Raha misy manaraka Ahy ka tsy mankahala ny rainy sy ny reniny sy ny vadiny sy ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny sy ny anabaviny, eny, ary ny ainy koa aza, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro izy.

²⁷And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Na zovy na zovy no tsy mitondra ny hazo fijaliana ka tsy manaraka Ahy, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro izy.

²⁸For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

²⁸Fa iza moa aminareo, raha ta-hanao tilikambo, no tsy mipetraka aloha mihevitra izay ho lany hanaovany izany, na misy hahavitany azy, na tsia?

²⁹Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

²⁹fandrao, rehefa nanao ny fanorenana izy ka tsy mahavita, dia handatsa azy izay rehetra mahita

³⁰Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³⁰ka hanao hoe: Io olona io dia nanomboka nanao trano, fa tsy nahavita.

³¹Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

³¹Ary iza moa no mpanjaka, raha handeha hiady amin'ny mpanjaka hafa, no tsy mipetraka aloha mba haka hevitra tsara, na mahay mandresy ilay mitondra roa alina amin'ny iray alina izy, na tsia?

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

³²Fa raha tsy izany, raha mbola lavitra ny mpanjaka anankiray, dia hampitondra teny izy ka hangataka fihavanana.

³³So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³³Ary toy izany koa ianareo rehetra, izay tsy mahafoy izay rehetra anananareo, dia tsy azo ekena ho mpianatro.

³⁴Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴Koa tsara ny sira; fa raha ny sira aza no tonga matsatso, inona indray no hahasira azy?Tsy mahasoa ny tany na ny zezika izy, fa harian'ny olona. Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.

³⁵It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁵Tsy mahasoa ny tany na ny zezika izy, fa harian'ny olona. Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
