¹In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

¹Ary tamin'izany, raha niangona ny vahoaka betsaka tsy hita isa ka nifanitsaka, Jesosy dia niteny tamin'ny mpianany aloha ka nanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon'ny masirasiran'ny Fariseo, dia ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.[Na: niteny tamin'ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Ambony indrindra, mitandrema]

²but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;

²Fa tsy misy nafenina izay tsy haseho, na takona izay tsy ho fantatra.

³therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

³Koa na inona na inona teneninareo ao amin'ny maizina dia ho re eo amin'ny mazava; ary izay bitsihinareo mangingina ao amin'ny efi-trano dia hotorina eo amin'ny tampon-trano.

⁴But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.

⁴Ary lazaiko aminareo sakaizako hoe: Aza matahotra izay mamono ny tena, nefa nony afaka izany, dia tsy mahay manao mihoatra noho izany.

⁵But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear *him*.

⁵Fa hasehoko anareo izay hatahoranareo: Matahora Izay manam-pahefana hanary any amin'ny helo, rehefa novonoiny; eny, hoy Izaho aminareo: Matahora Azy.[Gr. Gehena]

⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.

⁶Tsy eranambatry va no vidin'ny tsintsina dimy? nefa tsy misy hadinoina eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra ireny na dia iray akory aza.

⁷But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.

⁷Fa na dia ny volon-dohanareo aza dia voaisa avokoa. Aza matahotra; fa mihoatra noho ny tsintsina maro ianareo.

⁸But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;

⁸Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no manaiky Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia heken'ny Zanak'olona kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny anjelin'Andriamanitra;

⁹but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;

⁹Fa izay mandà Ahy eo anatrehan'ny olona, dia holavina kosa izy eo anatrehan'ny anjelin'Andriamanitra.

¹⁰and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

¹⁰Fa na zovy na zovy no hanao teny hanohitra ny Zanak'olona dia hahazo famelan-keloka; fa izay miteny ratsy ny Fanahy Masina dia tsy mba hahazo famelan-keloka.[Gr. manao blasfemia; izahao Mat.9.3]

¹¹But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;

¹¹Ary raha mitondra anareo ho ao amin'ny synagoga sy ny mpanapaka ary ny manam-pahefana izy, dia aza manahy izay havalinareo, na izay holazainareo;

¹²for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.

¹²fa ny Fanahy Masina no hampianatra anareo amin'izany ora izany izay mety holazainareo.

¹³And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

¹³Ary nisy anankiray teo amin'ny vahoaka nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, teneno ny rahalahiko mba hizara lova amiko.

¹⁴But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?

¹⁴Fa hoy Izy taminy: Ralehilahy, iza no nanendry Ahy ho mpitsara na mpizara ao aminareo?

¹⁵And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.

¹⁵Ary hoy Izy tamin'ny olona: Mitandrema, ka miarova tena mba tsy ho azon'ny fieremana ianareo; fa ny ain'ny olona tsy miankina amin'ny habetsahan'ny zavatra ananany.

¹⁶And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.

¹⁶Dia nanao fanoharana taminy Izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tanin'ny lehilahy manan-karena anankiray nahavokatra be.

¹⁷And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.

¹⁷Ary izy nihevitra tao am-pony hoe: Ahoana no hataoko, fa tsy manana fitoerana hamoriako ny vokatro aho?

¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;

¹⁸Ary hoy izy: Izao no hataoko: handrava ny trano fitehirizako aho ka hanao izay lehibebe kokoa, ary ao no hamoriako ny variko rehetra sy ny fananako.

¹⁹and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.

¹⁹Dia hilaza amin'ny fanahiko hoe aho: Ry fanahy ô, manana fananana be voatahiry ho amin'ny taona maro ianao; mitsahara, mihinàna, misotroa, mifalia.

²⁰But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

²⁰Fa Andriamanitra kosa nanao taminy hoe: Ry adala, anio alina no halaina aminao ny fanahinao, ka ho an'iza izay zavatra noharinao?

²¹Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²¹Toy izany izay mihary harena ho an'ny tenany ihany, nefa tsy mba manan-karena ny amin'Andriamanitra.

²²And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.

²²Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Aza manahy ny amin'ny ainareo, izay hohaninareo, na ny amin'ny tenanaren, izay hotafinareo.

²³The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.

²³Fa ny aina mihoatra noho ny hanina, ary ny tena noho ny fitafiana.

²⁴Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are *ye* than the birds?

²⁴Hevero ny goaika; fa tsy mba mamafy na mijinja ireny; ary tsy manana fitoeran-javatra na trano fitehirizana, nefa Andriamanitra mamelona azy; tsy mihoatra lavitra noho ny vorona va ianareo?

²⁵But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁵Ary iza moa ao aminareo, na dia manahy aza, no mahay manampy ny andro iainany, na dia kely monja aza? [Na: ny halavan'ny tenany] [Gr. hakiho iray]

²⁶If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

²⁶Koa raha ny kely indrindra aza tsy hainareo, nahoana ianareo no manahy ny amin'ny sisa?

²⁷Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

²⁷Hevero ny fanirin'ny voninkazo; tsy mba miasa na mamoly ireny; nefa lazaiko aminareo: Na dia Solomona teo amin'ny voninahiny rehetra aza tsy mba nitafy tahaka ny anankiray amin'ireny.[ Karazan'ny lilia]

²⁸But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?

²⁸Ary raha ny ahitra izay any an-tsaha anio, nefa hatao ao am-patana rahampitso, no ampitafin'Andriamanitra toy izany, tsy mainka va ianareo ry kely finoana?

²⁹And *ye*, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;

²⁹Koa aza mitady izay hohaninareo na izay hosotroinareo ianareo, ary aza miahanahana.[Na: aza aingaingain'ny fanantenana foana]

³⁰for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;

³⁰Fa ny jentilisa amin'izao tontolo izao dia fatra-pitady izany rehetra izany; fa ny Rainareo mahalala fa tokony ho anareo izany zavatra izany.

³¹but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.

³¹Kanefa katsaho ny fanjakany; dia hanampy ho anareo izany zavatra izany.[Na: (ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra)]

³²Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.

³²Aza matahotra, ry ondry vitsy, fa efa sitraky ny Rainareo ny hanome anareo ny fanjakana.

³³Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.

³³Amidio ny fanananareo, ka manaova fiantrana; manaova kitapom-bola tsy mety ho tonta ho anareo, dia harena any an-danitra tsy mety ho lany, izay tsy azon'ny mpangalatra, sady tsy misy kalalao manimba.

³⁴For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

³⁴Fa izay itoeran'ny harenareo, dia ho any koa ny fonareo.

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;

³⁵Aoka hisikina ny valahanareo sy hirehitra ny jironareo;

³⁶and *ye* like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

³⁶ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny olona izay miandry ny tompony, raha mody avy amin'ny fampakaram-bady izy, ka nony tonga sy mandondòna izy, dia vohany miaraka amin'izay.

³⁷Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.

³⁷Sambatra ny mpanompo izay ho hitan'ny tompony miambina, raha avy izy. Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa hisikina ny tompony, dia hampipetraka azy hihinana, dia ho avy ka hanompo azy.

³⁸And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].

³⁸Ary na avy amin'ny fiambenana faharoa amin'ny alina izy, na avy amin'ny fiambenana fahatelo, ka mahita toy izany, dia sambatra ireo mpanompo ireo.

³⁹But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.

³⁹Ary fantaro izao, fa raha fantatry ny tompon-trano izay ora hihavian'ny mpangalatra, dia ho niambina izy ka tsy namela ny tranony hotamina.

⁴⁰And ye therefore, be *ye* ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.

⁴⁰Dia miomàna koa ianareo; fa ho avy ny Zanak'olona amin'izay ora tsy ampoizinareo.

⁴¹And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?

⁴¹Ary hoy Petera: Tompoko, izahay va no ilazanao izany fanoharana izany, sa ny olona rehetra?

⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?

⁴²Ary hoy ny Tompo: Iza moa no mpitandri-draharaha mahatoky sy manan-tsaina, izay hotendren'ny tompony hifehy ny mpanompony mba hanome azy anjara hanina amin'ny fotoana?

⁴³Blessed is that bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;

⁴³Sambatra ny mpanompo Izay ho hitan'ny tompony fa, indreo, manao toy izany, raha avy izy.

⁴⁴verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.

⁴⁴Lazaiko aminareo marina fa hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.

⁴⁵But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,

⁴⁵Fa raha manao anakampo kosa izany mpanompo izany hoe: Maharitra ela ny tompoko vao ho avy, ka dia mikapoka ny ankizilahy sy ny ankizivavy izy sady mihinana sy misotro ka mamo,

⁴⁶the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.

⁴⁶dia ho avy ny tompon'izany mpanompo izany amin'ny andro izay tsy ampoiziny sy amin'ny ora izay tsy fantany, dia hotapahiny roa izy ka homeny anjara any amin'ny tsy mahatoky.[Na: hokapohiny mafy]

⁴⁷But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];

⁴⁷Fa ilay mpanompo izay mahalala ny sitrapon'ny tompony ihany ka tsy miomana na manao izay sitraky ny fony dia hokapohina be.

⁴⁸but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.

⁴⁸Fa izay tsy nahalala kosa ka nanao izay zavatra tokony hikapohana azy dia hokapohina kely. Fa izay nomena be, dia be no hotadiavina aminy; ary izay nampitehirizina be, dia bebe kokoa no hadinina aminy.

⁴⁹I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?

⁴⁹Tonga hanipy afo etỳ ambonin'ny tany Aho, ka manao ahoana ny faniriako mba hirehetan'izany sahady?[Na: ary inona intsony no iriko, raha mirehitra sahady izany?]

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!

⁵⁰Ary manana batisa hanaovana Ahy batisa Aho, ka manao ahoana ny fahoriako ambara-pahatanterahany!

⁵¹Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:

⁵¹Ataonareo va fa tonga hanome fihavanana ambonin'ny tany Aho? Tsia, hoy Izaho aminareo, fa fampisarahana.

⁵²for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:

⁵²Fa hatramin'izao dia hisy dimy hisara-tsaina ao an-trano iray, ny telo hanohitra ny roa, ary ny roa hanohitra ny telo.

⁵³father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

⁵³Hisara-tsaina ireo, ka ny ray hanohitra ny zananilahy, ary ny zanakalahy hanohitra ny rainy; ny reny hanohitra ny zananivavy, ary ny zanakavavy hanohitra ny reniny; ny rafozam-bavy hanohitra ny vinantoni-vavy, ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy.

⁵⁴And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.

⁵⁴Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ny vahoaka: Raha mahita rahona miposaka any andrefana ianareo, miaraka amin'izay dia hoy ianareo: Ho avy ny ranonorana; dia tonga izany.

⁵⁵And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.

⁵⁵Ary raha avy any atsimo ny rivotra, dia hoy ianareo: Hafana ny andro; dia tonga izany.

⁵⁶Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?

⁵⁶Hianareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, ny tarehin'ny tany sy ny lanitra dia hainareo fantarina; fa ahoana kosa no tsy ahaizanareo mamantatra izao andro izao?

⁵⁷And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

⁵⁷Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahalala mitsara araka ny marina? [Na: Nahoana ianareo no tsy mahay mitsara marina avy ao am-ponareo ihany?]

⁵⁸For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

⁵⁸Fa raha miara-mandeha amin'ny manana ady aminao ianao hanatrika ny mpanapaka, raha mbola any an-dalana dia mazotoa manao izay hahafahanao aminy, fandrao hitondra anao any amin'ny mpitsara izy, ary ny mpitsara hanolotra anao amin'ny mpamatotra, ary ny mpamatotra hanao anao ao an-tranomaizina.Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.

⁵⁹I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.

⁵⁹Lazaiko aminao fa tsy ho afaka ao ianao, ambara-pandoanao ny variraiventy farany indrindra.
