¹And he entered and passed through Jericho.

¹Ary Jesosy niditra ka nandeha namaky an'i Jeriko.

²And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.

²Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Zakaiosy, izay lehiben'ny mpamory hetra sady nanan-karena.

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.

³Ary nitady hahita izay Jesosy izy, kanefa ny afaka noho ny habetsahan'ny olona nifanety, satria fohy izy.

⁴And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].

⁴Dia nihazakazaka nialoha izy ka nananika aviavy hizaha an'i Jesosy; fa efa handalo tamin'izany lalana izany Izy.

⁵And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.

⁵Ary rehefa tonga teo Jesosy, dia niandrandra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Zakaiosy, midina faingana; fa tsy maintsy mitoetra ao an-tranonao Aho anio.

⁶And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.

⁶Dia nidina faingana izy ka nampiantrano Azy sady faly.

⁷And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.

⁷Ary raha nahita izany izy rehetra, dia nimonomonona ka nanao hoe: Lasa nandeha hiantrano amin'izay lehilahy mpanota Izy.

⁸But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.

⁸Fa Zakaiosy kosa nitsangana ka nanao tamin'ny Tompo hoe: Indro, Tompoko, ny antsasaky ny fananako omeko ho an'ny malahelo; ary raha misy zavatr'olona nalaiko tamin'ny fanambakana, dia honerako avy efatra heny izany.

⁹And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

⁹Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Anio no tonga eto amin'ity trano ity ny famonjena, fa izy dia zanak'i Abrahama koa.

¹⁰for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

¹⁰Fa efa tonga ny Zanak'olona hitady sy hamonjy ny very.

¹¹But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

¹¹Ary raha mbola nihaino izany ny olona, dia nandroso niteny ihany Jesosy ka nanao fanoharana, satria efa akaiky an'i Jerosalema Izy, ka nataon'ny olona fa hiseho faingana ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹²He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

¹²Dia hoy Izy: Nisy andriandahy anankiray nandeha nankany an-tany lavitra mba handray fahefana hanjaka, dia hiverina.

¹³And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.

¹³Dia niantso folo lahy tamin'ny mpanompony izy ary nanome azy farantsa folo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandrantoa mandra-pihaviko. [Gr. mina = drakma = tokony ho farantsa 15]

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.

¹⁴Fa ny vahoakany nankahala azy, dia nampitondra reny nanaraka azy nanao hoe: Tsy manaiky hanjakan'iny lehilahy iny izahay.[Na: vahoaka namany]

¹⁵And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.

¹⁵Ary nony tafaverina izy, rehefa nandray fahefana hanjaka, dia nasainy nantsoina hankeo aminy izany mpanompo nomeny ny vola izany mba hahitany izay azony tamin'ny fandrantoana.

¹⁶And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

¹⁶Dia tonga ny voalohany ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa nahazoana tombony farantsa folo.

¹⁷And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

¹⁷Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara; satria nahatoky tamin'ny kely indrindra ianao, dia manapaha tanàna folo.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

¹⁸Dia tonga ny anankiray koa ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, ny farantsanao iray efa tonga farantsa dimy.

¹⁹And he said also to this one, And *thou*, be over five cities.

¹⁹Ary hoy koa izy tamin'io: Manapaha tanàna dimy koa ianao.

²⁰And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

²⁰Fa tonga kosa ny anankiray ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, indry ny farantsanao, izay notehiriziko voafono amin'ny mosara.

²¹For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

²¹Fa natahotra anao aho, satria olona mila voatsiary ianao ka maka izay tsy napetrakao, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafinao.

²²He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that *I* am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

²²Ary hoy ny tompony taminy: Ny vavanao no hitsarako anao, ry mpanompo ratsy fanahy: fantatrao fa izaho dia olona mila voatsiary ka maka izay tsy napetrako, ary mijinja izay tsy nafafiko;

²³And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and *I* should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

²³koa nahoana no tsy napetrakao tamin'ny mpanana vola ny volako, ka rehefa tonga aho, dia ho nandray ny ahy mban-janany?

²⁴And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.

²⁴Ary hoy izy tamin'izay nitsangana teo anilany: Alao ny farantsa eny aminy, ka omeo ilay manana farantsa folo

²⁵And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

²⁵(Fa hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, efa manana farantsa folo izy.)

²⁶For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

²⁶Lazaiko aminareo: Izay rehetra manana dia homena; fa ny amin'izay tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.

²⁷Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.

²⁷Fa ireo fahavaloko tsy nanaiky hanjakako ireo, dia ento atỳ , ka vonoy eto anatrehako.

²⁸And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁸Ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia nandeha nialoha hiakatra ho any Jerosalema.

²⁹And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

²⁹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Betifaga sy Betania teo an-tendrombohitra atao hoe Oliva Izy, dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianatra

³⁰saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].

³⁰ka nanao hoe: Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa; ary raha vao miditra ao ianareo, dia hisy zana-boriky mifatotra ho hitanareo, izay tsy mbola nitaingenan'olona; vahao izy, ka ento erỳ .

³¹And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

³¹Ary raha misy manontany anareo hoe: Nahoana no vahanareo io? dia izao no holazainareo: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³²And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

³²Ary nony nandeha ireo nirahina, dia nahita araka izay nolazainy taminy.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

³³Ary raha namaha ny zana-boriky izy, dia hoy ny tompony taminy: Nahoana no vahanareo ny zana-boriky?

³⁴And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.

³⁴Ary hoy izy: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy.

³⁵And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].

³⁵Dia nitondra azy ho any amin'i Jesosy izy ary nametraka ny lambany teo ambonin'ny zana-boriky, ka nampitaingeniny azy Jesosy.

³⁶And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.

³⁶Ary raha nandeha Jesosy, dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana izy lreo.

³⁷And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,

³⁷Ary rehefa nanakaiky Izy ka tonga teo am-pidinana amin'ny tendrombohitra Oliva, dia nifaly avokoa ny mpianatra maro be ka nidera an'Andriamanitra tamin'ny feo mahery noho ny asa lehibe rehetra izay efa hitany

³⁸saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁸ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny Mpanjaka, Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah. Fiadanana any an-danitra, ary voninahitra any amin'ny avo indrindra.

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

³⁹Fa ny Fariseo sasany, izay teo amin'ny vahoaka, nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, rarao ny mpianatrao.

⁴⁰And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

⁴⁰Fa Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko aminareo fa raha mangina ireo, dia ny vato no hiantsoantso.

⁴¹And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,

⁴¹Ary raha nanakaiky Izy ka nahita ny tanàna, dia nitomany azy

⁴²saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;

⁴²ka nanao hoe: Raha mba nahafantatra mantsy ianao na dia amin'ity andro ity aza izay momba ny fiadanana! - fa ankehitriny miafina amin'ny masonao izany.

⁴³for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴³Fa ho avy aminao ny andro izay hananganan'ny fahavalonao tovon-tany manodidina anao, dia hanemitra anao izy ka hanidy anao manodidina

⁴⁴and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

⁴⁴ary hamongotra anao hatramin'ny tany mbamin'ny zanakao ao anatinao, ka tsy havelany hisy vato mifanongoa eo aminao, ho valin'ny tsy nahafantaranao ny andro namangiana anao.

⁴⁵And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,

⁴⁵Ary niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, dia nandroaka izay nivarotra

⁴⁶saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko dia trano fivavahana (Isa. 56. 7); fa ianareo kosa nanao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jery. 7. 11).

⁴⁷And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁷Ary nampianatra isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Izy. Fa ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona nitady hahafaty Azy;nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.

⁴⁸and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.

⁴⁸nefa tsy hitany izay hataony, satria ny vahoaka rehetra nazoto dia nazoto hihaino Azy.
