¹The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

¹Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nivoaka avy tao an-trano Jesosy ka nipetraka teo amoron'ny ranomasina.

²And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

²Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka tafangona teo aminy, dia niditra teo an-tsambokely Izy ka nipetraka; ary ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia teny amoron-dranomasina.

³And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

³Ary nilaza zavatra maro taminy tamin'ny fanoharana Izy ka nanao hoe: Indro, nivoaka ny mpamafy mba hamafy;

⁴And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

⁴ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana; dia avy ny vorona ka nandany azy.

⁵Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

⁵Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin'ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy; dia nalaky nitrebona ireny, satria tsy nisy tany lalina.

⁶And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

⁶Fa rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nalazo ireny, ary satria tsy nanam-paka, dia maty izy.

⁷And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

⁷Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin'ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo naniry ka nangeja azy.

⁸But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

⁸Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin'ny tany tsara, dia namoa: ny sasany avy zato heny, ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy telo-polo heny.

⁹Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino. [Na: (Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino)]

¹⁰And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

¹⁰Ary dia nanatona ny mpianany ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no fanoharana no itenenanao aminy?

¹¹He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹¹Ary namaly Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Satria ianareo no navela hahalala ny zava-miafina ny amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra, fa ireny kosa tsy mba navela. [ Gr. nomena] [ Gr. nomena]

¹²For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

¹²Fa izay manana no homena, ka hanana be dia be izy; fa izay tsy manana kosa, na izay ananany aza dia hesorina aminy.

¹³Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

¹³Ary noho izany dia fanoharana no itenenako aminy: satria mijery izy, fa tsy mahita; ary mandre izy, fa tsy mihaino, na mahalala.

¹⁴And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

¹⁴Dia tanteraka aminy ny faminanian'Isaia, izay manao hoe: Handre mandrakariva ihany ianareo, fa tsy hahafantatra: Ary hijery mandrakariva ihany ianareo, fa tsy hahita;

¹⁵For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

¹⁵Fa efa adala ny fon'izao olona izao. Ary efa lalodalovana ny sofiny, Ary efa nakimpiny ny masony, Fandrao hahita ny masony, Sy handre ny sofiny, Ka hahalala ny fony, Dia hibebaka izy, Ka hahasitrana azy Aho. (Isa. 6. 9, 10).

¹⁶But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

¹⁶Fa sambatra ny masonareo, fa mahita, ary ny sofinareo, fa mandre.

¹⁷For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

¹⁷Fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa maro ny mpaminany sy ny olona marina naniry hahita izay hitanareo, nefa tsy mba nahita; ary naniry handre izay renareo, nefa tsy mba nandre.

¹⁸Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

¹⁸Koa amin'izany dia henoinareo ny fanoharana ny amin'ny mpamafy:

¹⁹When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

¹⁹Raha misy mandre ny tenin'ny fanjakana, fa tsy mahalala, dia avy ilay ratsy ka manaisotra izay nafafy tao am-pony. Dia izany no ilay nafafy teny amoron-dalana.

²⁰But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

²⁰Fa ilay nafafy teny amin'ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy dia izay mandre ny teny ka malaky mandray azy amin'ny hafaliana;

²¹Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

²¹nefa tsy manam-paka ao anatiny izy, fa maharitra vetivety foana; koa raha avy izay fahoriana na fanenjehana noho ny teny, dia malaky tafintohina izy.

²²He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

²²Ary ilay nafafy teny amin'ny tsilo dia izay mandre ny teny ary ny fiahiahiana izao fiainana izao sy ny fitaky ny harena mangeja ny teny, ka dia tsy mamoa izy.

²³But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

²³Fa ilay nafafy teny amin'ny tany tsara kosa dia izay mandre ny teny ka mahalala; dia izy no mamoa ka vokatra: ny sasany avy zato heny ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy telo-polo heny.

²⁴Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

²⁴Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny lehilahy anankiray izay namafy voa tsara tany an-tanimbariny;

²⁵But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

²⁵fa raha natory ny olona, dia avy ny fahavalony ka namafy voan-tsimparifary teny amin'ny vary, dia lasa nandeha.

²⁶But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

²⁶Ary rehefa naniry ny vary ka niteraka dia niposaka koa ny tsimparifary.

²⁷So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

²⁷Dia avy ny mpanompon-dralehilahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, tsy voa tsara va no nafafinao tany an-tanimbarinao? koa avy taiza kosa ny tsimparifary? Dia hoy izy taminy:

²⁸He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

²⁸Fahavalo no nanao izany. Ary ny mpanompony nanao taminy hoe: Koa tianao va handehananay hanongotra sy hanangona azy?

²⁹But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

²⁹Fa hoy izy: Tsia, fandrao, raha manongotra ny tsimparifary ianareo, dia hongotanareo miaraka aminy koa ny vary.

³⁰Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

³⁰Aoka ihany hiara-maniry izy roroa ambara-pihavin'ny fararano; ary amin'ny fararano dia holazaiko amin'ny mpijinja hoe: Angony aloha ny tsimparifary, ka ataovy amboarany mba hodorana; fa ny vary dia taomy ho any an-tsompitro.

³¹Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

³¹Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny voan-tsinapy izay nalain'olona ka nafafiny tany an-tsahany;

³²Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

³²fa kely noho ny voa rehetra izy, kanefa rehefa maniry, dia lehibe noho ny anana ka tonga hazo, dia avy ny voro-manidina ka mitoetra ao amin'ny rantsany.

³³Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

³³Ary nanao fanoharana hafa koa taminy Izy hoe: Ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny masirasira, izay nalain'ny vehivavy anankiray ka nataony tao amin'ny koba intelon'ny famarana, mandra-pahazon'ny masirasira azy rehetra. [Gr. nafeniny]

³⁴All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

³⁴Fanoharana no nilazan'i Jesosy izany zavatra rehetra izany tamin'ny vahoaka, ary tsy nisy nolazainy taminy, afa-tsy tamin'ny fanoharana,

³⁵That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

³⁵mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe: Hiloa-bava hilaza fanoharana Aho; Hanambara zavatra izay nafenina hatrizay nanorenana izao tontolo izao Aho (Sal. 78. 2).

³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

³⁶Ary rehefa nampody ny vahoaka Jesosy, dia niditra tao an-trano Izy, ary ny mpianany nankao aminy ka nanao hoe: Lazao aminay ny hevitry ny fanoharana ny amin'ny tsimparifary tany an-tanimbary.

³⁷He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

³⁷Ary namaly Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny mpamafy ny voa tsara dia ny Zanak'olona;

³⁸The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

³⁸ny tanimbary dia izao tontolo izao; ny voa tsara dia ny zanaky ny fanjakana; ny tsimparifary dia ny zanak'ilay ratsy;

³⁹The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

³⁹ny fahavalo izay namafy izany dia ny devoly; ny fararano dia ny fahataperan'izao tontolo izao; ary ny mpijinja dia anjely.

⁴⁰As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

⁴⁰Koa tahaka ny anangonana ny tsimparifary sy andoroana azy amin'ny afo, dia toy izany no hatao amin'ny fahataperan'izao tontolo izao.

⁴¹The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

⁴¹Ny Zanak'olona haniraka ny anjeliny, ary ireny dia hanangona ka hamoaka amin'ny fanjakany ny zavatra mahatafintohina rehetra mbamin'izay manao meloka,

⁴²And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁴²dia hanipy azy any amin'ny fandoroana lehibe mirehitra afo izy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.

⁴³Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁴³Ary amin'izany ny marina dia hamirapiratra tahaka ny masoandro any amin'ny fanjakan'ny Rainy. Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino. [Na: (Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino)]

⁴⁴Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁴⁴Ary ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny harena nafenina tany an-tsaha, izay hitan'olona, ka dia nafeniny; ary noho ny hafaliany dia lasa nandeha izy ka nivarotra ny fananany rehetra, dia nividy izany saha izany.

⁴⁵Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

⁴⁵Ary koa, ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny mpandranto anankiray izay nikatsaka vato soa;[Gr.perila]

⁴⁶Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴⁶ary rehefa nahita vato soa iray saro-bidy izy, dia lasa nivarotra ny fananany rehetra ka nividy azy.[Gr. perila]

⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

⁴⁷Ary koa, ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny harato-tarihina, izay nalatsaka tao amin'ny ranomasina ka nahavory ny samy hafa karazana rehetra;

⁴⁸Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

⁴⁸ary rehefa feno izany, dia notarihiny ho eny an-tanety, dia nipetraka ny olona ka nifantina ny tsara hataony ao an-karona, fa ny ratsy nariany.

⁴⁹So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

⁴⁹Dia tahaka izany no hatao amin'ny fahataperan'izao tontolo izao; hivoaka ny anjely ka hanavaka ny ratsy fanahy hisaraka amin'ny marina,

⁵⁰And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁵⁰dia hatsipiny any amin'ny fandoroana lehibe mirehitra afo izy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.

⁵¹Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

⁵¹Efa azonareo va izany rehetra izany? Hoy ireo taminy: Eny.

⁵²Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

⁵²Dia hoy Izy taminy: Koa amin'izany ary ny mpanora-dalàna rehetra izay nampianarina ho amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia samy tahaka ny tompon-trano, izay mamoaka avy amin'ny firaketany zava-baovao sy ela.

⁵³And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

⁵³Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy ireo fanoharana ireo, dia niala teo Izy.

⁵⁴And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

⁵⁴Ary nony tonga tany amin'ny taniny Izy, dia nampianatra ny olona tao amin'ny synagoga, ary talanjona ny olona ka nanao hoe: Avy taiza re no nahazoan'ilehity izany fahendrena sy asa lehibe izany?

⁵⁵Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

⁵⁵Tsy Ilehity va ilay Zanaky ny mpandrafitra? Tsy Maria va no anaran'ny reniny? Ary tsy Jakoba sy Josefa sy Simona ary Jodasy va no rahalahiny?

⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

⁵⁶Ary ny anabaviny, moa tsy eto amintsika avokoa va izy? Koa avy taiza no nahazoan'ilehity izany zavatra rehetra izany?

⁵⁷And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

⁵⁷Ary tafintohina taminy izy. Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy mpaminany tsy hajaina, afa-tsy amin'ny taniny sy ny mpianakaviny ihany.Ary tsy nanao asa lehibe maro teo Izy noho ny tsi-finoan'ireo.

⁵⁸And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

⁵⁸Ary tsy nanao asa lehibe maro teo Izy noho ny tsi-finoan'ireo.
