¹And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

¹Ary Jesosy niantso ny mpianany roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy ka nanome azy fahefana hamoaka fanahy maloto sy hahasitrana ny aretina rehetra mbamin'ny rofy rehetra.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²Ary izao no anaran'ny Apostoly roa ambin'ny folo lahy: Ny voalohany, Simona, izay atao hoe Petera, dia Andrea rahalahiny; Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, sy Jaona rahalahiny;

³Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

³Filipo sy Bartolomeo; Tomasy sy Matio mpamory hetra; Jakoba, zanak'i Alfeo,

⁴Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁴sy Tadeo; Simona Kananeana ary Jodasy Iskariota, ilay namadika Azy. [ Na: Zelota, izahao Lio.6. 15]

⁵These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

⁵Ireo roa ambin'ny folo lahy ireo dia nirahin'i Jesosy ka nodidiany hoe: Aza mandeha any amin'ny lalan'ny jentilisa, ary aza miakatra amin'izay tanànan'ny Samaritana,

⁶But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶fa aleo mankany amin'ny ondry very amin'ny taranak'isiraely.

⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁷Ary raha mandeha ianareo, dia mitoria hoe: Efa mby akaiky ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

⁸Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

⁸Sitrano ny marary, atsangano ny maty, diovy ny boka, avoahy ny demonia; efa nahazo maimaimpoana ianareo, koa manomeza maimaimpoana.

⁹Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

⁹Aza mitady volamena, na volafotsy, na varahina, ho ao anatin'ny fehin-kibonareo,

¹⁰Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹⁰na kitapom-batsy ho amin'izay haleha, na akanjo roa, na kapa na tehina; fa ny mpiasa dia miendrika hahazo ny haniny.

¹¹And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

¹¹Ary izay tanàna na vohitra hiakaranareo, dia fantaro tsara izay miendrika ao; ka mitoera ao aminy mandra-pialanareo.

¹²And when ye come into an house, salute it.

¹²Ary raha vao miditra ao amin'ny trano ianareo, dia miarahabà ny ao.

¹³And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹³Koa raha miendrika ny ao an-trano, dia aoka ho ao aminy ny fiadanana tononinareo; fa raha tsy miendrika izy, dia aoka hiverina aminareo ny fiadanana voatononareo.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁴Ary izay tsy hampandroso anareo, na tsy hihaino ny teninareo, raha miala amin'izany trano na tanàna izany ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka amin'ny tongotrareo.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ho moramora kokoa ny ho amin'ny tany Sodoma sy Gomora amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny ho amin'izany tanàna izany.

¹⁶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁶Indro, Izaho maniraka anareo ho tahaka ny ondry ao ampovoan'ny amboadia; koa hendre tahaka ny menarana, ary morà tahaka ny voromailala. [ lopa] [ Gr. aoka ho tsotra]

¹⁷But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁷Ary mitandrema ianareo noho ny amin'ny olona; fa hatolony ho amin'ny Synedriona sy hokapohiny ao amin'ny synagogany ianareo;

¹⁸And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

¹⁸ary ho entiny eo anatrehan'ny mpanapaka sy ny mpanjaka ianareo noho ny amiko, ho vavolombelona aminy sy amin'ny jentilisa.

¹⁹But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

¹⁹Fa raha manolotra anareo izy, dia aza manahy ny amin'izay fomba hitenenanareo, na izay holazainareo; Fa homena anareo amin izany ora izany izay holazainareo.

²⁰For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

²⁰Fa tsy ianareo no miteny, fa ny Fanahin'ny Rainareo no miteny ao anatinareo.

²¹And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²¹Ary ny rahalahy hanolotra ny rahalahiny mba ho faty, ary ny ray hanolotra ny zanany; ary ny zanaka hitsangana hanohitra ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hahafaty azy.

²²And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

²²Ary ho halan'ny olona rehetra ianareo noho ny anarako; fa izay maharitra hatramin'ny farany no hovonjena.

²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

²³Ary raha manenjika anareo amin'ny tanàna anankiray ny olona dia mandosira ho any amin'ny hafa; fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy hahatapitra ny tanànan'ny Isiraely ianareo tsy akory mandra-pahatongan'ny Zanak'olona.

²⁴The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

²⁴Ny mpianatra tsy mihoatra noho ny mpampianatra, na ny mpanompo noho ny tompony.

²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

²⁵Fa ampy amin'ny mpianatra, raha tonga tahaka ny mpampianatra azy, ary ny mpanompo, raha tonga tahaka ny tompony. Raha ny tompon-trano no nataony hoe Belzeboba, tsy mainka va ny ankohonany?

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

²⁶Koa amin'izany aza matahotra azy ianareo; fa tsy misy afenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.

²⁷What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

²⁷Izay lazaiko aminareo ao amin'ny maizina, dia ambarao eo amin'ny mazava, ary izay ren'ny sofinareo, dia torio eo ambonin'ny tampon-trano.

²⁸And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁸Ary aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa tsy mahay mamono ny fanahy; fa aleo matahotra Izay mahay mahavery ny fanahy sy ny tena ao amin'ny helo.[Gr. gehena]

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

²⁹Tsy varidimiventy ihany va no vidin'ny tsintsina roa? nefa tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin'ireny ho latsaka amin'ny tany, raha tsy avelan'ny Rainareo.[Gr. asaria, izay ampahafolon'ny denaria]

³⁰But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³⁰Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa.

³¹Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

³¹Koa aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.

³²Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

³²Ary amin'izany na zovy na zovy no hanaiky Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia hekeko kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

³³Fa na zovy na zovy no handà Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia holaviko kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra.

³⁴Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁴Ary aza ataonareo fa tonga hitondra fiadanana ambonin'ny tany Aho; tsy tonga hitondra fiadanana Aho, fa sabatra.

³⁵For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁵Fa tonga Aho hampifandrafy olona amin'ny rainy, ary ny zanakavavy amin'ny reniny, ary ny vinantovavy amin'ny rafozanivavy;

³⁶And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁶ary ny ankohonan'ny olona ihany no fahavalony (Mik. 7. 6).

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁷Izay tia ray na reny mihoatra noho ny fitiavany Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy, ary izay tia ny zananilahy na ny zananivavy mihoatra noho ny fitiavany Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy.

³⁸And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸Ary izay tsy mitondra ny hazo fijaliany ka tsy manaraka Ahy dia tsy miendrika ho Ahy.[Gr. mandray]

³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁹Izay mamonjy ny ainy no hamery azy; ary izay mamery ny ainy noho ny amiko dia hahazo azy.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴⁰Izay mandray anareo dia mandray Ahy; ary izay mandray Ahy dia mandray Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴¹Izay mandray mpaminany, satria mpaminany izy, dia handray ny valim-pitian'ny mpaminany; ary izay mandray olona marina, satria olona marina izy, dia handray ny valim-pitian'ny olona marina.Ary na zovy na zovy no manome rano mangatsiaka na dia eran'ny kapoaka ihany aza hosotroin'ny anankiray amin'ireo madinika ireo, satria mpianatra izy, dia lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy ho very ny valim-pitiany.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

⁴²Ary na zovy na zovy no manome rano mangatsiaka na dia eran'ny kapoaka ihany aza hosotroin'ny anankiray amin'ireo madinika ireo, satria mpianatra izy, dia lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy ho very ny valim-pitiany.
