¹The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

¹Ny niandohan'ny filazantsaran'i Jesosy Kristy, Zanak'Andriamanitra.

²As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²Araka izay voasoratra ao amin'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao (Mal 3. 1); [Na: ao amin'ny mpaminany]

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

³Injany! misy feon'ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan'i Jehovah. Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany (Isa 40. 3),

⁴John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

⁴dia niseho Jaona, izay nanao batisa tany an-efitra ka nitory ny batisan'ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka.

⁵And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Dia nandeha nanatona azy ny tany Jodia rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema, ka nataony batisa tao amin'ny ony Jordana ireny, rehefa niaiky ny fahotany.

⁶And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

⁶Ary Jaona nitafy lamba volon-drameva; ary fehin-kibo hoditra no tamin'ny valahany, ary ny fihinany dia valala sy tantely remby.

⁷And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁷Ary nitory izy ka nanao hoe: Avy ao aoriako Ilay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hiondrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.

⁸I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

⁸Izaho efa nanao batisa anareo tamin'ny rano, fa Izy kosa hanao batisa anareo amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

⁹Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia tonga avy tany Nazareta any Galilia Jesosy ka nataon'i Jaona batisa tao Jordana.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

¹⁰Ary raha vao niakatra avy teo amin'ny rano Izy, dia hitany ny lanitra nisokatra, ary ny Fanahy nidina tahaka ny voromailala ka nankeo amboniny.

¹¹And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹¹Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako, Hianao no sitrako.

¹²And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

¹²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nampandehanin'ny Fanahy ho any an-efitra Izy.[Gr. noroahin']

¹³And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

¹³Ary tany an-efitra efa-polo andro Izy ka nalain'i Satana fanahy; ary teo amin'ny bibi-dia Izy, ary ny anjely nanompo Azy.

¹⁴Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

¹⁴Ary rehefa voasambotra Jaona, dia nankany Galilia Jesosy nitory ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra

¹⁵And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

¹⁵ka nanao hoe: Efa tonga ny fotoana, ka efa akaiky ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; mibebaha ianareo ka minoa ny filazantsara.

¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

¹⁶Ary nony nandalo teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy, dia nahita an'i Simona sy Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona, nanarato teo amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

¹⁸Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

¹⁹And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

¹⁹Ary rehefa nandroso kelikely Izy, nahita an'i Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, Jaona rahalahiny, izay teo an-tsambokely koa namboatra ny haratony.

²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁰Dia niantso azy niaraka tamin'izay Izy; ary izy mirahalahy nandao an'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely mbamin'ny olona nokaramainy, ka dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

²¹And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

²¹Ary nankany Kapernaomy izy ireo; nony tamin'ny Sabata, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy ka nampianatra.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

²²Dia talanjona ny olona tamin'ny fampianarany, satria nampianatra azy tahaka izay manana fahefana Izy, fa tsy mba tahaka ny mpanora-dalàna.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²³Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy olona teo amin'ny synagogany, izay azon'ny fanahy maloto; ary niantso mafy ralehilahy

²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁴ka nanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izahay sy Hianao, ry Jesosy avy any Nazareta? Avy handringana anay va Hianao? Fantatro fa Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra Hianao.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁵Ary Jesosy niteny mafy azy ka nanao hoe: Mangina ianao ka mivoaha aminy.

²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

²⁶Ary ny fanahy maloto nampifanintontsintona ny tenan'ilay marary, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery ka niala taminy.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

²⁷Dia gaga ny olona rehetra ka nifanontany hoe: Manao ahoana re izao zavatra izao? Fampianarana vaovao misy fahefana izao! fa ny fanahy maloto aza no didiany, ka dia manaiky Azy.

²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

²⁸Ary ny lazany dia niely niaraka tamin'izay teny tontolo eny tamin'ny tany rehetra eran'i Galilia.

²⁹And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

²⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha nivoaka avy tao amin'ny synagoga izy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'i Simona sy Andrea Jesosy ary Jakoba sy Jaona.

³⁰But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

³⁰Ary ny rafozam-bavin'i Simona nandry teo nanavin'ny tazo; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nilaza azy taminy izy ireo.

³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³¹Dia nanatona Jesosy ka nandray ny tànany ary nanarina azy; dia afaka ny tazony, ka dia nanompo azy izy.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

³²Ary nony hariva ny andro, ka nilentika ny masoandro, dia nentina tany aminy ny marary rehetra sy ny demoniaka.

³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

³³Ary ny tao an-tanàna rehetra dia tafangona teo anoloan'ny varavarana avokoa.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴Ary nahasitrana olona maro izay nararin'ny aretina samy hafa Izy sady namoaka demonia maro; ary tsy navelany hiteny ny demonia, satria nahafantatra Azy ireny.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³⁵Ary nifoha maraina alina koa Izy, dia nivoaka nankany an-tany foana ka nivavaka tany.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

³⁶Ary dia nandeha nitady Azy Simona sy ny namany.

³⁷And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

³⁷Ary nahita Azy izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ny olona rehetra mitady Anao.

³⁸And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

³⁸Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Andeha isika hiala hankany amin'ny tanàna akaiky, mba hitoriako teny any koa; fa izay no nahatongavako.

³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

³⁹Dia nandeha Izy ka nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona eran'i Galilia sady namoaka ny demonia.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴⁰Ary nisy boka nanatona Azy ka nitaraina taminy sady nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mety Hianao, dia mahay manadio ahy.

⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

⁴¹Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka naninjitra ny tànany, dia nanendry azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mety Aho; madiova ianao.

⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niala taminy ny habokany, ka dia nadio izy.

⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

⁴³Ary namepetra azy mafy Jesosy, dia nampandeha azy niaraka tamin'izay

⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁴ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo tsara mba tsy hisy holazainao na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa mandehana, misehoa amin'ny mpisorona, ka manatera ny fanadiovana anao, izay nandidian'i Mosesy, ho vavolombelona amin'ireo.Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

⁴⁵Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.
