¹And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

¹Ary ny olona rehetra nitsangana ka nitondra an'i Jesosy tany amin'i Pilato,

²And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

²dia niampanga Azy ka nanao hoe: Ilehity hitanay nampiodina ny firenenay sady nandrara tsy handoa hetra ho an'i Kaisara ka nilaza ny tenany ho Kristy Mpanjaka.

³And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

³Ary Pilato nanontany Azy hoe: Hianao va no Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy? Ary Izy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Voalazanao.

⁴And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

⁴Dia hoy Pilato tamin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka: Tsy hitako izay helok'ity Lehilahy ity.

⁵But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

⁵Fa vao mainka nandentika ireo ka nanao hoe: Nampiodina ny olona Izy sady nampianatra eran'i Jodia rehetra, nanomboka hatrany Galilia ka hatraty.

⁶But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

⁶Raha nandre izany Pilato, dia nanontany raha olona avy any Galilia Jesosy.

⁷and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁷Ary rehefa fantany fa avy tamin'ny tany tapahin'i Heroda Izy, dia nampanatitra Azy tany amin'i Heroda izy, fa tany Jerosalema koa Heroda tamin'izany andro izany.

⁸And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

⁸Ary faly dia faly Heroda, raha nahita an'i Jesosy; fa efa naniry ela hahita Azy izy, satria efa nandre ny aminy ary nanantena hahita famantarana hataony.

⁹and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing.

⁹Ary izy nanontany Azy teny maro; fa tsy namaly teny azy akory Jesosy.

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

¹⁰Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna nijanona teo dia nitompo teny fatratra hiampanga Azy.

¹¹And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

¹¹Ary Heroda sy ny miaramilany namingavinga Azy ka nanao Azy ho fihomehezana, dia nampiakanjo Azy akanjo tsara ka namerina Azy tany amin'i Pilato.

¹²And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

¹²Ary tonga nisakaiza Heroda sy Pilato tamin'izany andro izany; kanefa nifandrafy izy roa lahy talohan'izany.

¹³And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹³Ary rehefa nasain'i Pilato novorina ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanapaka ary ny vahoaka,

¹⁴said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

¹⁴dia hoy izy taminy: Entinareo atỳ amiko ity Lehilahy ity toy ny nampiodina ny vahoaka; ary, indro, efa nanadina Azy teto anatrehanareo aho, nefa tsy hitako izay helok'ity Lehilahy ity amin'izay iampanganareo Azy.

¹⁵nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

¹⁵Tsia, na dia Heroda koa aza, fa namerina Azy hoy amintsika izy; ary, indro, tsy nisy zavatra nataony izay tokony hahafaty Azy;

¹⁶Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

¹⁶koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.

¹⁷( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

¹⁷[Ampio hoe: 17 Fa tsy maintsy mandefa ny anankiray ho an'ny olona izy amin'ny andro firavoravoana]

¹⁸But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;

¹⁸Fa izy rehetra niantso mafy indray miredona nanao hoe: Vonoy Io, ka Barabasy no alefaso ho anay!

¹⁹who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.

¹⁹Nefa natao tao an-tranomaizina io Barabasy io noho ny fikomiana tao an-tanàna sy ny vonoan-olona.

²⁰Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].

²⁰Ary satria tian'i Pilato halefa Jesosy, dia niteny indray izy.

²¹But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²¹Fa ny olona niantso kosa ka nanao hoe: Homboy, homboy amin'ny hazo fijaliana Izy!

²²And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

²²Fa hoy izy taminy fanintelony: Ka inona ary no ratsy nataony: tsy hitako izay helony tokony hahafaty Azy koa hofaizako Izy, dia halefako.

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.

²³Fa niantso tamin'ny feo mafy ny olona ka nangataka hanomboana an'i Jesosy amin'ny hazo fijaliana. Ary nahery ny feon'ny olona.

²⁴And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁴Ary Pilato dia nandidy hanao izay nangatahiny.

²⁵And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁵Ary dia nalefany ilay natao tao an-tranomaizina noho ny fikomiana sy ny vonoan-olona, satria io no nangatahiny; fa Jesosy kosa natolony hataony araka ny sitrapony.

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

²⁶Ary raha nitondra an'i Jesosy izy, dia nitana lehilahy Kyreniana anankiray atao hoe Simona, izay vao avy any an-tsaha, ka nampitondra iny ny hazo fijaliana hanaraka an'i Jesosy.

²⁷And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

²⁷Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy ary vehivavy maro izay niteha-tratra sady nitomany Azy.

²⁸And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

²⁸Fa Jesosy nitodika azy ka nanao hoe: Ry zanakavavin'i Jerosalema, aza mitomany Ahy, fa mitomania ny tenanareo sy ny zanakareo.

²⁹for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

²⁹Fa, indro, ho avy ny andro izay hilazany hoe: Sambatra ny momba sy ny kibo izay tsy niteraka ary ny nono izay tsy ninonoan-jaza.

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

³⁰Dia hilaza amin'ny tendrombohitra hoe izy: Mianjerà aminay; ary amin'ny havoana hoe: Saròny izahay (Hos. 10. 8).

³¹for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

³¹Fa raha ataony amin'ny hazo maitso izany hatao ahoana amin'ny maina?

³²Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

³²Ary nisy olon-dratsy roa lahy nentina hiaraka hovonoina aminy koa.

³³And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

³³Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny tany atao hoe Ikarandoha izy, dia teo no namonoany an'i Jesosy sy ireo olon-dratsy ireo, ny anankiray teo ankavanany ary ny anankiray teo ankaviany.

³⁴And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

³⁴Ary hoy Jesosy: Raiko ô, mamelà ny helony, fa tsy fantany izay ataony.Dia nanaovany loka no fizara ny fitafiany.

³⁵And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁵Ary ny olona nijanona teo ka nijery. Ary ny loholona kosa mba nandatsa ka nanao hoe: Namonjy ny sasany Izy; aoka hovonjeny ny tenany, raha Izy no Kristin'Andriamanitra, dia Ilay nofidina.

³⁶And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

³⁶Ary ny miaramila koa nihomehy Azy, dia nankeo ka nanome Azy vinaingitra,

³⁷and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁷sady nanao hoe: Raha Hianao no Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy, vonjeo ny tenanao.

³⁸And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

³⁸Ary nisy soratra teo amboniny nanao hoe: ITY NO MPANJAKAN'NY JIOSY.

³⁹Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

³⁹Ary ny anankiray tamin'ireo olon-dratsy nahantona teo ireo dia niteny ratsy Azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Hianao va no Kristy? vonjeo ny tenanao sy izahay.

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

⁴⁰Fa namaly kosa ilay anankiray, sady nananatra ny namany ka nanao hoe: Moa ianao koa tsy mba matahotra an'Andriamanitra na dia izao samy voaheloka izao aza?

⁴¹and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.

⁴¹Ary marina ny anamelohany antsika, satria mandray ny valin'ny nataontsika isika; fa ity Lehilahy ity kosa tsy mbola nanao zavatra tsy mety na dia kely akory aza.

⁴²And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴²Ary hoy izy: Jesosy ô, tsarovy aho, rehefa avy amin'ny fanjakanao Hianao.

⁴³And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁴³Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminao marina tokoa: Anio no hihaonanao amiko any Paradisa.

⁴⁴And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.

⁴⁴Ary rehefa tokony ho tamin'ny ora fahenina, dia maizina ny tany rehetra ka naharitra hatramin'ny ora fahasivy izany,

⁴⁵And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

⁴⁵satria nihamaizina ny masoandro, ary triatra misasaka ny efitra lamba teo amin'ny tempoly.

⁴⁶And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

⁴⁶Ary niantso tamin'ny feo mahery Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Raiko ô, eo an-tananao no atolotro ny fanahiko (Sal. 31. 5); ary rehefa niteny izany Izy, dia afaka ny ainy.

⁴⁷Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

⁴⁷Ary ny kapiteny, raha nahita izay zavatra tonga teo, dia nankalaza an'Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Lazaiko tokoa fa marina io Lehilahy io.

⁴⁸And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.

⁴⁸Ary ny vahoaka rehetra izay vory teo mba hijery izany, raha nahita ny zavatra tonga teo, dia niverina miteha-tratra.

⁴⁹And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁴⁹Fa ny olom-pantany rehetra sy ny vehivavy izay nanaraka Azy avy tany Galilia dia nijanona teny lavidavitra eny nijery izany zavatra izany.

⁵⁰And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just

⁵⁰Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, izay isan'ny Synedriona, dia lehilahy tsara fanahy sady marina.

⁵¹(this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom of God

⁵¹Izany lehilahy izany tsy nanaiky ny hevitra sy ny nataon'ny sasany; avy tany Arimatia, tanànan'ny Jiosy, izy sady niandry ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

⁵²-- he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;

⁵²Izany lehilahy izany dia nankao amin'i Pilato ka nangataka ny fatin'i Jesosy.

⁵³and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵³Dia nampidininy ny faty ka nofonosiny hariry madinika, dia naleviny tao amin'ny fasana nolavahana tamin'ny vatolampy, izay tsy mbola nandevenana olona.

⁵⁴And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.

⁵⁴Ary andro fiomanana izany andro izany, ka efa antomotra ny Sabata.

⁵⁵And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.

⁵⁵Ary ny vehivavy izay nomba Azy avy tany Galilia dia nanaraka teo aoriana ka nahita ny fasana sy izay fampandriny ny faty.Ary niverina ireo ka namboatra zava-manitra sy menaka manitra. Ary tamin'ny Sabata dia nitsahatra ihany izy araka ny lalàna.

⁵⁶And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.

⁵⁶Ary niverina ireo ka namboatra zava-manitra sy menaka manitra. Ary tamin'ny Sabata dia nitsahatra ihany izy araka ny lalàna.
