¹And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

¹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Jerosalema izy ka tonga tao Betifaga any an-tendrombohitra Oliva, dia naniraka mpianatra roa lahy Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe:

²Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

²Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa, ary miaraka amin'izay dia hahita boriky mifatotra sy ny zanany eo aminy ianareo; vahao izy, dia ento etỳ amiko.

³And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

³Ary raha misy miteny anareo, dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; ary dia havelany ho entina miaraka amin'izay izy.

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

⁴Izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe:

⁵Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

⁵Lazao amin'i Ziona zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky, Dia zanaky ny boriky miasa (Zak. 9. 9).[Gr. mitondra zioga]

⁶And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

⁶Ary dia nandeha ny mpianatra ka nanao araka izay nandidian'i Jesosy azy,

⁷And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

⁷dia nentiny ny boriky sy ny zanany ary nataony teo amboniny ny lambany, ary Jesosy dia nitaingina azy.

⁸And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

⁸Ary ny ankabiazan'ny vahoaka dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany nanapaka rantsan-kazo, dia nahahany teny an-dalana koa izany.

⁹And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nialoha Azy sy izay nanaraka dia niantso hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).[Hosana = vonjeo re!]

¹⁰And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

¹⁰Ary nony efa tafiditra tany Jerosalema Izy, dia nihorakoraka ny tanàna rehetra ka nanao hoe: Iza moa izao?

¹¹And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka nilaza hoe: Izao no Jesosy mpaminany Izay avy any Nazareta any Galilia.

¹²And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

¹²Ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia nandroaka izay rehetra nivarotra sy nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹³And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹³dia hoy Izy taminy: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana (Isa. lvi. 7); fa ianareo kosa manao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jer. 7. 11).

¹⁴And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

¹⁴Ary nisy jamba sy mandringa nanatona Azy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nahasitrana azy Izy.

¹⁵And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

¹⁵Fa nony hitan'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ny zavatra mahagaga izay nataony sy ny ankizy madinika miantso eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka manao hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! - dia tezitra izy

¹⁶And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

¹⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Renao va izay lazain'ireo? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Eny; tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny manao hoe: Avy amin'ny vavan'ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono no nanamboaranao fiderana (Sal. 8. 2)?

¹⁷And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

¹⁷Dia nandao azy Izy ka niala tao an-tanàna hankany Betania; ary dia nitoetra tao mandritra ny alina Izy.

¹⁸Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

¹⁸Ary nony niverina maraina hankany an-tanàna Izy, dia noana.

¹⁹And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

¹⁹Ary nahita hazo aviavy anankiray teo amoron-dalana Izy, dia nankeo aminy, kanjo tsy nahita na inona na inona teo aminy, afa-tsy ravina ihany; dia hoy Izy taminy: Aza misy voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Dia maina vetivety foana ilay hazo aviavy.[aviavimbazaha]

²⁰And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

²⁰Ary nony hitan'ny mpianatra izany, dia gaga izy ka nanao hoe: Nanao ahoana re no dia nahamaina vetivety io aviavy io?

²¹Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

²¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manam-pinoana ianareo ka tsy miahanahana, dia tsy izao natao tamin'ny aviavy izao ihany no ho vitanareo, fa raha hiteny amin'ity tendrombohitra ity aza ianareo ka hanao hoe: Mifindrà ianao, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, dia ho tonga izany.

²²And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²²Ary na inona na inona no angatahinareo amin'ny fivavahana atao amin'ny finoana dia ho azonareo.

²³And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²³Ary rehefa tafiditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izao fahefana izao?

²⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha, ary raha hovalianareo izany, Izaho kosa dia hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany:

²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

²⁵Ny batisan'i Jaona, avy taiza moa izany? Avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hovaliany hoe isika: Ka nahoana no tsy nino azy ianareo?[Na:nieritreritra]

²⁶But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁶Ary raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, dia matahotra ny vahoaka isika, satria ataon'izy rehetra ho mpaminany Jaona.

²⁷And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany.

²⁸But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

²⁸Fa ahoana kosa no hevitrareo? Nisy lehilahy nanana zanaka roa lahy; dia nankeo amin'ny lahimatoa izy ka nanao hoe: Anaka, andeha miasa any amin'ny tanim-boaloboko anio.

²⁹He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

²⁹Fa namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy handeha aho; nefa nony afaka izany, dia nanenina izy ka nandeha ihany.

³⁰And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

³⁰Dia nankeo amin'ny faralahy izy ka niteny toy izany koa. Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Handeha aho, tompoko; kanjo tsy nandeha izy.

³¹Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³¹Ka iza moa amin'izy mirahalahy no nanao ny sitrapon'ny rainy? Hoy izy: Ny lahimatoa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga efa mialoha anareo ho amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

³²For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

³²Fa Jaona nankany aminareo tamin'ny lalan'ny fahamarinana, nefa tsy nino azy ianareo; fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga no nino azy; fa ianareo kosa, na dia efa nahita izany aza, dia mbola tsy nanenina mba hinoanareo azy.

³³Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

³³Mihainoa fanoharana hafa koa: Nisy lehilahy tompon-trano nanao tanim-boaloboka, dia namefy azy manodidina dia nihady famiazana teo anatiny, dia nanao tilikambo, ary dia nahofany tamin'olona mpiasa tany izany, ka nandeha ho any amin'ny tany hafa izy.

³⁴And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

³⁴Ary rehefa mby akaiky ny taom-pahavokarana, dia naniraka ny mpanompony izy hankany amin'ny mpiasa tany handray ny vokatra.

³⁵And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵Fa ny mpiasa tany nisambotra ny mpanompony, ka ny anankiray nokapohiny, ary ny anankiray novonoiny, ary ny anankiray notorahany vato.

³⁶Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

³⁶Dia naniraka mpanompo hafa koa indray izy, maro noho ny teo; fa nataony toy izany koa ireny.

³⁷But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

³⁷Ary nony farany dia naniraka ny zanany hankany aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Hanaja ny zanako izy.

³⁸But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

³⁸Kanjo ny mpiasa tany, nony nahita ny zanaka, dia niresaka hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika izy, dia ho lasantsika ny lovany.

³⁹And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

³⁹Ary nisambotra azy izy ka namoaka azy teo ivelan'ny tanim-boaloboka, dia namono azy.

⁴⁰When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

⁴⁰Koa raha tonga ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka, hataony ahoana moa izany mpiasa tany izany?

⁴¹They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹Hoy izy taminy: Hataony loza tokoa ny handringanany izany olon-doza izany, ary ny tanim-boaloboka dia hahofany amin'ny mpiasa tany sasany izay hanome azy ny vokatra amin'ny fotoany avy.

⁴²Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

⁴²Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny ao amin'ny Soratra Masina hoe: Ny vato izay nolavin'ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro; Avy tamin'i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika? (Sal. 118. 22-23).

⁴³Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

⁴³Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hesorina aminareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra ka homena izay firenena mahavokatra ny voany.

⁴⁴And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

⁴⁴Ary izay potraka amin'ity vato ity dia ho torotoro, fa na zovy na zovy no hianjerany, dia ho mongomongo.[Gr. haely toy ny vovoka]

⁴⁵And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

⁴⁵Ary rehefa ren'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo ny fanoharana nataon'i Jesosy, dia fantany fa ny tenany no nolazainy amin'izany.Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.

⁴⁶But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

⁴⁶Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.
