¹At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

¹Tamin'izany andro izany Jesosy nandeha namaky ny tanimbary tamin'ny Sabata; ary noana ny mpianany ka nanoty salohim-bary, dia nihinana.

²But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

²Fa nony nahita izany ny Fariseo, dia hoy izy taminy: Indro, ny mpianatrao manao izay tsy mety hatao amin'ny Sabata.

³But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

³Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha noana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

⁴How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

⁴Fa niditra tao amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra izy ka nihinana ny mofo aseho, izay nahadiso raha haniny, na izay nanaraka azy, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany?

⁵Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

⁵Ary tsy mbola novakinareo ao amin'ny lalàna va fa amin'ny Sabata ny mpisorona ao amin'ny tempoly manota ny Sabata, nefa tsy manan-tsiny?

⁶But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

⁶Ary dia lazaiko aminareo fa misy eto lehibe noho ny tempoly.

⁷But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁷Fa raha fantatrareo izay hevitry ny teny hoe: Famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà (Hos. 6. 6), dia tsy mba nanameloka ny tsy manan-tsiny ianareo.

⁸For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

⁸Fa Tompon'ny Sabata ny Zanak'olona.

⁹And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

⁹Ary nony niala teo Jesosy, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga;

¹⁰And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

¹⁰ary, indro, nisy lehilahy maty tanana teo. Ary ny olona nanontany Azy hoe: Mety va ny mahasitrana amin'ny Sabata? mba hiampangany Azy.[Gr. efa maina, na malazo]

¹¹And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

¹¹Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no olona ao aminareo, raha manana ondry anankiray, ka latsaka any an-kady amin'ny Sabata, no tsy handray azy sy hampakatra azy?

¹²How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

¹²Ary tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny ondry va ny olona? Koa amin'izany dia mety ny manao soa amin'ny Sabata.

¹³Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

¹³Dia hoy Izy tamin-dralehilahy: Ahinjiro ny tananao. Dia nahinjiny ka sitrana ho tahaka ny anankiray.

¹⁴Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁴Ary ny Fariseo dia lasa nivoaka ka niara-nisaina mba hahafaty Azy.

¹⁵But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

¹⁵Fa Jesosy nahalala izany, ka dia niala teo. Ary nisy olona betsaka nanaraka Azy, ka dia nositraniny avokoa izy rehetra;

¹⁶And charged them that they should not make him known:

¹⁶ary nandrara azy Izy tsy hanao izay hahafantarana Azy,

¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁷mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an'Isaia mpaminany hoe:

¹⁸Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

¹⁸Indro ny Mpanompoko, Izay nofidiko, Ny Malalako, Izay sitraky ny foko indrindra; Hapetrako ao aminy ny Fanahiko, Ary hitory ny rariny amin'ny jentilisa Izy;

¹⁹He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

¹⁹Tsy hifanditra, na hiantso mafy Izy; Ary tsy hisy handre ny feony any an-dalana;

²⁰A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

²⁰Tsy hotapahiny ny volotara torotoro, Ary tsy hovonoiny ny lahin-jiro manetona, Ambara-pamoakany ny rariny ho mpandresy;

²¹And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

²¹Ary ny anarany no hitokian'ny jentilisa (Isa. 42:1-4).

²²Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

²²Dia nentina tany amin'i Jesosy ny lehilahy anankiray izay demoniaka, sady jamba no moana; dia nositraniny, ka dia niteny sy nahita ilay moana.

²³And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

²³Dia talanjona ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Moa Ity va Ilay Zanak'i Davida?

²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

²⁴Fa nony ren'ny Fariseo izany, dia hoy izy: Tsy misy amoahan'ilehiny ny demonia, afa-tsy Belzeboba, lohan'ny demonia.

²⁵And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

²⁵Ary Jesosy nahalala ny eritreriny, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ho foana ny fanjakana rehetra izay miady an-trano; ary tsy haharitra ny tanàna rehetra, na ny trano, izay miady an-trano.

²⁶And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

²⁶Ary raha Satana no mamoaka an'i Satana, dia miady an-trano izy; ka ahoana no haharetan'ny fanjakany?

²⁷And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

²⁷Ary raha Belzeboba no amoahako ny demonia, iza kosa no mba amoahan'ny zanakareo azy? ary noho izany dia izy ihany no ho mpitsara anareo.

²⁸But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

²⁸Fa raha ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra kosa no amoahako ny demonia, dia efa tonga aminareo sahady ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁹Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

²⁹Fa hataon'ny olona ahoana no fiditra ao an-tranon'ny mahery handroba ny entany, raha tsy afatony aloha ny mahery? dia vao handroba ny ao an-tranony izy.

³⁰He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

³⁰Izay tsy momba Ahy dia manohitra Ahy; ary izay tsy miara-mamory amiko dia manahaka.

³¹Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

³¹Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin'ny ota sy fitenenan-dratsy samy hafa rehetra; fa tsy hahazo famelan-keloka ny olona amin'ny fitenenan-dratsy ny Fanahy Masina.[Gr.blasfemia,izahao 9. 3]

³²And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

³²Ary na iza na iza no manao teny hanohitra ny Zanak'olona, dia hahazo famelan-keloka ihany; fa na iza na iza no miteny hanohitra ny Fanahy Masina, dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka, na amin'izao fiainana izao, na amin'ny ho avy.

³³Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

³³Koa ataovy tsara ny hazo mbamin'ny voany, na ataovy ratsy ny hazo mbamin'ny voany; fa ny voany no ahafantarana ny hazo.

³⁴O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

³⁴Ry taranaky ny menarana! hataonareo, izay ratsy fanahy, ahoana no fahay miteny zavatra tsara? fa avy amin'ny haben'ny ao am-po no itenenan'ny vava.

³⁵A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

³⁵Ny rakitra tsara no amoahan'ny olona tsara fanahy zavatra tsara; ary ny rakitra ratsy kosa no amoahan'ny olona ratsy fanahy zavatra ratsy.

³⁶But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

³⁶Ary lazaiko aminareo fa hampamoahina ny olona amin'ny andro fitsarana noho ny amin'ny teny foana rehetra izay ataony.

³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

³⁷Fa ny teninao no hanamarinana anao, ary ny teninao no hanamelohana anao.

³⁸Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

³⁸Ary tamin'izany ny sasany tamin'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, ta-hahita famantarana avy aminao izahay.

³⁹But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

³⁹Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay taranaka ratsy fanahy sy mijangajanga dia fatra-pitady famantarana; nefa tsy hisy famantarana homena azy, afa-tsy famantarana ny amin'i Jona mpaminany;

⁴⁰For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴⁰fa tahaka ny nitoeran'i Jona hateloan'andro sy hateloan'alina tao an-kibon'ny hazandrano lehibe, dia toy izany no hitoeran'ny Zanak'olona hateloan'Andro sy hateloan'alina ao anatin'ny tany.

⁴¹The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

⁴¹Ny olona tany Ninive hiara-mitsangana amin'ity taranaka ity amin'ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa nibebaka izy tamin'ny nitorian'i Jona teny; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Jona eto.

⁴²The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

⁴²Ny mpanjakavavy avy tany atsimo hiara-mitsangana amin'ity taranaka ity amin'ny andro fitsarana ka hanameloka azy; fa avy tany amin'ny faran'ny tany izy hihaino ny fahendren'i Solomona; nefa, indro, misy lehibe noho Solomona eto.

⁴³When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

⁴³Raha mivoaka amin'ny olona ny fanahy maloto, dia mandeha mitety ny tany tsy misy rano izy, mitady fitsaharana, fa tsy mahita.

⁴⁴Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

⁴⁴Dia hoy izy: Hody any amin'ny tranoko izay nivoahako aho; ary nony tonga izy, dia hitany fa foana ny trano sady voafafa no voavoatra.

⁴⁵Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

⁴⁵Ary dia mandeha izy ka mitondra fanahy fito hafa koa miaraka aminy izay ratsy noho izy; dia miditra ireo ka mitoetra ao; ary ny faran'izany olona izany dia tonga ratsy noho ny voalohany. Ary dia tahaka izany koa no ho amin'ity taranaka ratsy fanahy ity.

⁴⁶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

⁴⁶Ary raha mbola niteny tamin'ny vahoaka Jesosy, indreo, ny reniny mbamin'ny rahalahiny nijanona teo ala-trano nitady hiteny aminy.

⁴⁷Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

⁴⁷Ary nisy anankiray nanao taminy hoe: Indreo, ny reninao mbamin'ny rahalahinao mijanona ato ala-trano mitady hiteny aminao.

⁴⁸But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

⁴⁸Fa namaly Izy ka nanao tamin'ilay nilaza taminy hoe: Iza moa no reniko, ary iza no rahalahiko?

⁴⁹And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

⁴⁹Ary naninjitra ny tànany nanondro ny mpianany Izy ka nanao hoe: Indreo ny reniko sy ny rahalahiko;Fa na iza na iza no hanao ny sitrapon'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra, dia izy no rahalahiko sy anabaviko ary reniko.

⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

⁵⁰Fa na iza na iza no hanao ny sitrapon'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra, dia izy no rahalahiko sy anabaviko ary reniko.
