¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

¹Ary efa mby akaiky ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia ilay andro atao hoe Paska.

²and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

²Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna nitady izay hamonoany an'i Jesosy; nefa natahotra ny olona izy.

³And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

³Fa Satana niditra tao anatin'i Jodasy, ilay atao hoe Iskariota, anankiray tamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy;

⁴And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁴dia nankao amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben'ny mpiambina izy ka niresaka taminy ny amin'izay hamadihany an'i Jesosy amin'ireo.

⁵And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁵Dia faly ireo ka nanaiky hanome vola azy.

⁶And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

⁶Ary nanaiky izy ka nitady izay andro hahazoany hamadika Azy amin'ireo amin'ny tsy misy olona.

⁷And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁷Ary tonga ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia ilay tsy maintsy hamonoana ny Paska.

⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

⁸Ary Jesosy naniraka an'i Petera sy Jaona ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka amboary ny Paska hohanintsika.

⁹But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

⁹Ary hoy ireo taminy: Aiza no tianao hanamboaranay azy?

¹⁰And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹⁰Dia hoy Izy taminy: Indro, raha miditra ao an-tanàna ianareo, dia hisy lehilahy mitondra siny feno rano hifanena aminareo; manaraha azy ao amin'ny trano izay hidirany.

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹¹Dia lazao amin'ny tompon-trano hoe: Izao no lazain'ny Mpampianatra aminao: Aiza ny efi-trano hiarahako mihinana ny Paska amin'ny mpianatro?

¹²And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹²Ary izy hanoro anareo efi-trano malalaka ambony rihana, izay efa nasiana fipetrahana; any no amboary.

¹³And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹³Dia nandeha izy ka nahita araka izay efa nolazainy taminy; dia namboatra ny Paska izy.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

¹⁴Ary nony tonga ny fotoana, dia nipetraka hihinana Izy mbamin'ny Apostoly.

¹⁵And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁵Ary hoy Izy taminy: Naniry koa raha naniry Aho hiara-mihinana ity Paska ity aminareo, dieny mbola tsy mijaly Aho.

¹⁶For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Fa lazaiko aminareo fa tsy mba hihinana izany intsony Aho ambara-pahatanterak'izany ao amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁷And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁷Ary nandray kapoaka Izy, dia nisaotra ka nanao hoe: Raiso ity, ka zarao aminareo;

¹⁸For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁸fa lazaiko aminareo fa hatramin'izao dia tsy hisotro ny vokatry ny voaloboka intsony Aho mandra-pahatongan'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁹And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

¹⁹Ary nandray mofo Izy, ary rehefa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony azy sady nataony hoe : Ity no tenako izay omena ho anareo; izao no ataovinareo ho fahatsiarovana Ahy.

²⁰In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²⁰Ary araka izany koa ny kapoaka, rehefa vita ny sakafo, dia hoy Izy: Ity kapoaka ity no fanekena vaovao amin'ny rako, izay aidina ho anareo.

²¹Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

²¹Fa, indro, ny tànan'izay mamadika Ahy dia eto amiko eto ambonin'ny latabatra.

²²and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²²Fa ny Zanak'olona mandeha tokoa, araka izay nanendrena; nefa lozan'izay lehilahy hahazoana manolotra Azy!

²³And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

²³Ary ireo nifanontany izay anankiray eo aminy hahefa izany.

²⁴And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.

²⁴Ary nisy koa fifandirana tao aminy ny amin'izay anankiray aminy hatao lehibe.

²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁵Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny mpanjakan'ny jentilisa mampanompo azy ary izay manapaka azy no atao hoe mpanao soa.

²⁶But *ye* [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

²⁶Fa tsy mba toy izany ianareo; fa izay lehibe aminareo dia aoka ho toy ny zandry; ary izay manapaka dia aoka ho toy ny mpanompo.

²⁷For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁷Fa iza moa no lehibe, izay mipetraka mihinana va, sa izay manompo? Tsy izay mipetraka mihinana va? Fa Izaho dia eo aminareo toy izay manompo.

²⁸But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁸Ary ianareo no naharitra nanaraka Ahy tamin'ny fakam-panahy nihatra tamiko;

²⁹And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

²⁹koa Izaho dia manendry fanjakana ho anareo tahaka ny nanendren'ny Raiko ho Ahy,

³⁰that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³⁰mba hihinana sy hisotro eo amin'ny latabatro amin'ny fanjakako ianareo sady hipetraka ambony seza fiandrianana hitsara ny firenen'isiraely roa ambin'ny folo,

³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;

³¹Ary hoy ny Tompo: Ry Simona, ry Simona, indro, Satana efa nilofo nitady anareo hokororohiny toy ny vary.

³²but *I* have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and *thou*, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

³²Nefa Izaho nangataka ho anao, mba tsy ho levona ny finoanao; ary rehefa mibebaka ianao, dia ampaherezo ireo rahalahinao.

³³And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³³Ary hoy izy taminy: Tompoko, vonona hanaraka Anao aho, na ho ao an-tranomaizina, na dia ho amin'ny fahafatesana aza.

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁴Fa hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminao, ry Petera: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno anio, dia handà intelo ho tsy mahalala Ahy ianao.

³⁵And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁵Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Raha nirahiko tsy nitondra kitapom-bola na kitapom-batsy na kapa ianareo, moa nisy zavatra nahory anareo va? Dia hoy ireo: Tsy nisy.

³⁶He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

³⁶Fa hoy Izy taminy: Fa amin'izao kosa, izay manana kitapom-bola dia aoka hitondra azy; ary toy izany koa ny kitapom-batsy; ary izay tsy manan-tsabatra kosa, dia aoka hivarotra ny lambany izy ka hividy.

³⁷for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁷Fa lazaiko aminareo: Tsy maintsy ho tanteraka amiko izao voasoratra izao hoe: Ary Izy natao ho isan'ny mpanota (Isa. 53. 12); fa efa ho tanteraka ny amiko.

³⁸And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁸Ary hoy ireo: Tompoko, indreto sabatra roa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka izay.

³⁹And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

³⁹Ary nivoaka Jesosy, koa araka ny fanaony dia nankao an-tendrombohitra Oliva Izy, ary ny mpianatra koa nanaraka Azy.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁰Ary raha vao tonga tao amin'izany tany izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Mivavaha mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy.

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

⁴¹Ary Izy nihataka taminy tokony ho indray mitora-bato, dia nandohalika ka nivavaka hoe:

⁴²saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: -- but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴²Raiko ô, raha sitrakao, dia esory amiko ity kapoaka ity; nefa aoka tsy ny sitrapoko anie no hatao, fa ny Anao.

⁴³And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

⁴³Ary nisy anjely avy tany an-danitra niseho teo aminy ka nampahery Azy.

⁴⁴And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

⁴⁴Ary fadiranovana Izy, ka dia nivavaka mafimafy kokoa; ary ny dininy dia tahaka ny rà nipotrapotraka tamin'ny tany.

⁴⁵And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁵Ary nony nitsangana avy nivavaka Izy, dia nankeo amin'ny mpianatra ka nahita azy matorin'alahelo.

⁴⁶And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁶Dia hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana no dia matory ianareo? Mitsangàna, ka mivavaha, mba tsy hidiranareo amin'ny fakam-panahy.

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁷Ary raha mbola niteny Jesosy, indreo, tamy ny vahoaka, ary ilay atao hoe Jodasy, isan'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy, dia nandeha teo alohany ka nanatona an'i Jesosy hanoroka Azy.

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ry Jodasy, fanorohana va no amadihanao ny Zanak'olona?

⁴⁹And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?

⁴⁹Ary izay teo aminy, raha nahita izay efa hanjo, dia nanao hoe: Tompoko, hamely amin'ny sabatra va izahay?

⁵⁰And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

⁵⁰Ary ny anankiray teo aminy dia nikapa ny mpanompon'ny mpisoronabe ka nahafaka ny sofiny ankavanana.

⁵¹And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵¹Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Aoka ihany na dia izao aza. Dia nanendry ny sofiny Izy ka nahasitrana azy.

⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

⁵²Ary hoy Jesosy tamin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben'ny mpiambina ny tempoly ary ny loholona izay tonga hisambotra Azy: Mivoaka mitondra sabatra sy langilangy toy ny hisambotra jiolahy va ianareo?

⁵³When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

⁵³Raha teo aminareo isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Aho, dia tsy naninji-tanana tamiko ianareo; fa izao no fotoanareo sy herin'ny maizina.

⁵⁴And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁴Ary izy ireo nisambotra an'i Jesosy, dia nitondra Azy ho ao an-tranon'ny mpisoronabe. Ary Petera nanaraka teny lavidavitra eny.

⁵⁵And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁵Ary raha namelona afo teo an-kianja ireo ka nipetraka, dia mba nipetraka teo aminy koa Petera.

⁵⁶And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.

⁵⁶Ary ny ankizivavy anankiray, nony nahita azy nipetraka teo anilan'ny afo, dia nandinika azy ka nanao hoe: Ity koa nomba Azy.

⁵⁷But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.

⁵⁷Fa izy nandà ka nanao hoe: Ravehivavy, tsy fantatro Izy.

⁵⁸And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁸Ary vetivety foana rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy olona hafa koa nahita azy ka nanao hoe: Hianao koa mba naman'ireny. Fa Petera nanao hoe: Ralehilahy, tsy mba namany aho.

⁵⁹And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

⁵⁹Ary rehefa afaka tokony ho ora iray, dia nisy anankiray koa nitompo teny ka nanao hoe: Ilehio nomba Azy marina tokoa, fa Galiliana izy.

⁶⁰And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.

⁶⁰Fa hoy Petera: Ralehilahy, tsy fantatro izay lazainao. Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha mbola niteny izy, dia nisy akoho naneno.

⁶¹And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶¹Ary ny Tompo nitodika, dia nijery an'i Petera. Ary Petera nahatsiaro ilay tenin'ny Tompo nolazainy taminy hoe: Raha tsy mbola misy akoho maneno anio, dia handà Ahy intelo ianao.

⁶²And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

⁶²Ary nivoaka Petera, dia nitomany mafy indrindra.

⁶³And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];

⁶³Ary ny lehilahy izay nitana an'i Jesosy dia nanao Azy ho fihomehezana sady nikapoka Azy.

⁶⁴and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

⁶⁴Ary rehefa nanampi-maso Azy izy, dia nanontany Azy hoe: Maminania; iza moa no namely Anao?

⁶⁵And they said many other injurious things to him.

⁶⁵Ary niteny ratsy izy nilaza zavatra maro hafa koa nanaratsiany Azy.

⁶⁶And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

⁶⁶Ary raha vao nazava ny andro, niangona ny loholona, dia ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna, ka nitondra an'i Jesosy ho eo amin'ny Synedriona, dia nanao hoe:

⁶⁷If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

⁶⁷Raha Hianao no Kristy, dia lazao aminay. Fa hoy Izy taminy: Na dia hilaza aminareo aza Aho, dia tsy hino ianareo.

⁶⁸and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;

⁶⁸Ary na dia hanontany aza Aho, dia tsy hamaly akory ianareo.

⁶⁹but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

⁶⁹Fa hatramin'izao ny Zanak'olona dia hipetraka eo an-tanana ankavanan'ny herin'Andriamanitra.

⁷⁰And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am.

⁷⁰Dia hoy izy rehetra: Zanak'Andriamanitra va ary Hianao? Ary hoy Izy taminy: Voalazanareo fa Izaho no Izy.Ary hoy ireo: Ka inona indray no ilantsika vavolombelona? fa ny tenantsika no efa nandre tamin'ny vavany.

⁷¹And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?

⁷¹Ary hoy ireo: Ka inona indray no ilantsika vavolombelona? fa ny tenantsika no efa nandre tamin'ny vavany.
