¹At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

¹Tamin'izany andro izany Heroda mpanapaka nandre ny lazan'i Jesosy,

²And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

²ka hoy izy tamin'ny mpanompony: Jaona Mpanao-batisa izay; efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty izy, koa izany no ananany hery hanao izany asa lehibe izany.

³For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

³Fa Heroda efa nisambotra an'i Jaona, dia namatotra azy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina, noho ny tamin'i Herodiasy, vadin'i Filipo rahalahiny.

⁴For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

⁴Fa Jaona efa nilaza taminy hoe: Diso ianao, raha manambady azy.

⁵And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

⁵Ary Heroda naniry hamono azy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka izy, satria nataon'ireo ho mpaminany Jaona.

⁶But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

⁶Fa nony tonga ny fitsingerenan'ny taona nahaterahan'i Heroda, dia nandihy teo anatrehany ny zanakavavin'i Herodiasy ka nahafaly an'i Heroda.

⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

⁷Ary noho izany dia nianiana izy fa hanome azy izay hangatahiny na inona na inona.

⁸And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

⁸Ary rehefa nomen-dreniny saina razazavavy, dia nanao hoe: Omeo ahy eto an-dovia ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

⁹And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

⁹Dia nalahelo ny mpanjaka; kanefa noho ny fianianany sy ny olona izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy, dia nandidy ihany izy mba homena izany.

¹⁰And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

¹⁰Ary dia naniraka hanapaka ny lohan'i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina izy.

¹¹And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

¹¹Dia nentina an-dovia ny lohany ka nomena ilay zazavavy; ary izy nitondra azy ho ao amin-dreniny.

¹²And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

¹²Ary avy ny mpianany, dia naka ny faty ka nandevina azy; ary dia lasa izy ka nilaza tamin'i Jesosy.

¹³When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

¹³Ary nony nandre izany Jesosy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely niala teo handeha hitokana any an-tany foana; ary raha nandre izany ny vahoaka, dia niala teny amin'ny tanàna maro izy ka nandeha an-tanety nanaraka Azy.[Na: nandeha tongotra]

¹⁴And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

¹⁴Ary nony nivoaka Jesosy, dia nahita vahoaka betsaka, ary onena azy ka nahasitrana ny marariny.

¹⁵And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

¹⁵Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Tany foana ity, ary efa hariva ny andro izao; ravao ny vahoaka, mba hankanesany eny amin'ny vohitra hividy hanina ho azy.

¹⁶But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

¹⁶Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy tokony handeha izy; omeonareo hanina izy.

¹⁷And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

¹⁷Fa hoy ny mpianany taminy: Tsy misy atỳ aminay, afa-tsy mofo dimy sy hazandrano roa.

¹⁸He said, Bring them hither to me.

¹⁸Ary hoy Izy: Ento eto amiko izany.

¹⁹And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

¹⁹Dia nasainy nipetraka teny ambonin'ny ahitra ny vahoaka, ary noraisiny ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy ka nisaotra; ary nony efa novakiny ny mofo, dia natolony ny mpianatra, ary ny mpianatra kosa nanolotra ho an'ny vahoaka.

²⁰And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

²⁰Ary nihinana avokoa izy rehetra, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka dia nahafeno harona roa ambin'ny folo.

²¹And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

²¹Ary izay nihinana dia tokony ho dimy arivo lahy, afa-tsy ny zaza amim-behivavy.

²²And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nanery ny mpianatra hiondrana an-tsambokely Jesosy ka hita eo alohany ho eny am-pita mandra-pandràvany ny vahoaka.

²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

²³Ary rehefa noravany ny vahoaka, dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Izy mba hitokana hivavaka; ary nony hariva ny andro, dia nitoetra irery teo Izy.

²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

²⁴Ary efa mby teo ampovoan'ny ranomasina ny sambokely tamin'izay, dia natopatopan'ny alon-drano izy, fa notohain'ny rivotra.

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

²⁵Ary tamin'ny fiambenana fahefatra amin'ny alina dia nankeny amin'ny mpianany Jesosy, nitsangantsangana teny ambonin'ny ranomasina.

²⁶And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

²⁶Ary nony nahita Azy nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina ny mpianatra, dia raiki-tahotra ka nanao hoe: Matoatoa io; dia niantso izy noho ny tahotra.

²⁷But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

²⁷Ary Jesosy niteny taminy niaraka tamin'izay hoe: Matokia, fa Izaho ihany, aza matahotra.

²⁸And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

²⁸Ary Petera namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, raha Hianao ihany, dia asaovy manatona Anao eny ambonin'ny rano aho.

²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

²⁹Ary hoy Izy: Manatona. Dia nidina niala tamin'ny sambokely Petera ka nandeha tambonin'ny rano hanatona an'i Jesosy.

³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

³⁰Fa raha nahita ny rivotra izy, dia natahotra, ary raha vao nilentika izy, dia niantso hoe: Tompo ô, vonjeo aho![ Na: (rivotra mahery)]

³¹And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

³¹Ary naninjitra ny tànany niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy, dia nandray azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry kely finoana, nahoana no niahanahana ianao?

³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

³²Ary rehefa niakatra teo an-tsambokely izy, dia nitsahatra ny rivotra.

³³Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

³³Ary izay teo an-tsambokely dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Zanak'Andriamanitra tokoa Hianao.

³⁴And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

³⁴Ary nony tafita izy, dia tonga teo an-tanety, any Genesareta.

³⁵And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

³⁵Ary nony nahafantatra Azy ny tompon-tany teo, dia naniraka tany amin'ny tany rehetra manodidina izy ka nitondra ny marary rehetra ho eo aminy.Ary nangataka taminy ireo mba hamela azy hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; koa na iza na iza no nanendry dia sitrana tokoa.

³⁶And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

³⁶Ary nangataka taminy ireo mba hamela azy hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; koa na iza na iza no nanendry dia sitrana tokoa.
