¹But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

¹Ary Jesosy feno ny Fanahy Masina dia niverina avy tany Jordana, ary nentin'ny Fanahy tany an-efitra efa-polo andro Izy

²forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

²ka nalain'ny devoly fanahy. Ary tsy nihinan-kanina akory Izy tamin'izany andro izany, ka rehefa tapitra izany, dia noana Izy.

³And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.

³Ary hoy ny devoly taminy: raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, teneno io vato io mba ho tonga mofo.

⁴And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁴Fa Jesosy namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Voasoratra hoe: Tsy mofo ihany no hiveloman'ny olona (Deo. 8. 3).

⁵And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

⁵Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy niakatra, dia naneho Azy indray mipi-maso ny fanjakana rehetra amin'izao tontolo izao.

⁶And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁶Dia hoy ny devoly taminy: Homeko Anao izao fanapahana rehetra izao mbamin'ny voninahiny, fa efa natolotra ahy izany, ka izay tiako no homeko azy;

⁷If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

⁷koa raha hiankohoka eto anatrehako Hianao, dia ho Anao avokoa izany rehetra izany.

⁸And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

⁸Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Voasoratra hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hiankohofanao, ary Izy irery ihany no hotompoinao (Deo. 6. 13; 10. 20).

⁹And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

⁹Ary nitondra Azy nankany Jerosalema izy, dia nampitoetra Azy teo an-tampon'ny tempoly ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, mivarina any ambany any;

¹⁰for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

¹⁰fa voasoratra hoe: Izy handidy ny anjeliny ny aminao mba hiaro Anao;

¹¹and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

¹¹Ary eny an-tànany no hitondran'ireo Anao, Fandrao ho tafintohina amin'ny vato ny tongotrao (Sal. 91. 11, 12).

¹²And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

¹²Fa Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Voalaza hoe: Aza maka fanahy an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao (Deo. 6. 16).

¹³And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

¹³Ary rehefa nahatapitra izay fakam-panahy rehetra ny devoly, dia nandao Azy izy aloha.

¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

¹⁴Ary Jesosy niverina tamin'ny herin'ny Fanahy nankany Galilia; dia niely tamin'ny tany rehetra manodidina ny lazany.

¹⁵and *he* taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁵Ary Izy nampianatra teny amin'ny synagogan'ny olona ka nankalazain'izy rehetra.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁶Dia tonga tao Nazareta, izay nahabe Azy Izy; ary araka ny fanaony dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga tamin'ny andro Sabata Izy ka nitsangana hamaky teny.

¹⁷And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

¹⁷Dia natolotra Azy ny bokin'Isaia mpaminany; ary nony namelatra ny boky Izy, dia nahita ny teny voasoratra hoe:

¹⁸[The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,

¹⁸Ny Fanahin'i Jehovah no ato amiko, Satria nanosotra Ahy hitory teny soa mahafaly amin'ny malahelo Izy; Naniraka Ahy hitory fandefasana amin'ny mpifatotra Izy, Sy fampahiratana amin'ny jamba, Hanafaka izay nampahorina,

¹⁹to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.

¹⁹Hitory ny taona ankasitrahan'i Jehovah (Isa. 61. 1, 2).

²⁰And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

²⁰Ary rehefa nahorony ny boky ka naveriny tamin'ny mpanao raharaha, dia nipetraka Izy. Ary nandinika Azy ny mason'izay rehetra teo amin'ny synagoga.

²¹And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

²¹Ary Jesosy niteny taminy hoe: Androany no efa tanteraka eto anatrehanareo izany soratra izany.

²²And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²²Ary izy rehetra nankalaza Azy sady talanjona noho ny tenin'ny fahasoavana naloaky ny vavany, ka hoy izy: Tsy Zanak'i Josefa va Ity?

²³And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

²³Ary hoy kosa Jesosy taminy: Hataonareo amiko tokoa izao ohabolana izao hoe: Mpanao fanafody, sitrano ny tenanao: izay renay fa nataonao tao Kapernaomy dia mba ataovy eto amin'ny taninao koa.

²⁴And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.

²⁴Ary hoy koa Izy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy mpaminany izay ankasitrahana ao amin'ny taniny.

²⁵But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

²⁵Fa lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Maro no mpitondratena teo amin'ny Isiraely tamin'ny andron'i Elia, raha nihantona ny andro telo taona sy enim-bolana, ka nisy mosary mafy tamin'ny tany rehetra;[Gr.nirindrina ny lanitra]

²⁶and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.

²⁶nefa tsy mba nirahina ho any amin'ny anankiray tamin'ireo Elia, fa ho any Zarefata any amin'ny tany Sidona ihany, dia ho any amin'izay vehivavy mpitondratena.

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

²⁷Ary maro no boka teo amin'ny Isiraely tamin'ny andron'i Elisa mpaminany, nefa tsy mba nisy nodiovina na dia iray akory aza fa Namàna Syriana ihany.

²⁸And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

²⁸Dia tezitra loatra izay rehetra teo amin'ny synagoga, raha nandre izany,

²⁹and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

²⁹ka nitsangana izy, dia nandroaka Azy hiala ao an-tanàna ary nitondra Azy ho any an-tampon'ny havoana niorenan'ny tanàna, mba hazerany amin'ny hantsana.

³⁰but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,

³⁰Nefa Izy namaky teo afovoany, ka dia lasa nandeha.

³¹and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.

³¹Ary nidina tany Kapernaomy, tanàna any Galilia, Jesosy ka nampianatra ny olona tamin'ny Sabata.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

³²Dia talanjona ny olona tamin'ny fampianarany, satria nisy fahefana ny teniny.

³³And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

³³Ary nisy olona tao amin'ny synagoga, izay nanana ny fanahin'ny demonia maloto, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery izy

³⁴saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.

³⁴ka nanao hoe: Indrisy! moa mifaninona akory izahay sy Hianao, ry Jesosy avy any Nazareta? avy handringana anay va Hianao? Fantatro fa Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra Hianao.

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.

³⁵Fa Jesosy niteny mafy azy ka nanao hoe: Mangina ianao, ka mivoaha aminy. Ary ny demonia, nony namotraka azy teo afovoan'ny olona, dia nivoaka taminy, nefa tsy naharatra azy.

³⁶And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁶Ary talanjona avokoa izy rehetra ka niresaka hoe: Manao ahoana izao teny izao! fa amin'ny fahefana sy ny hery no andidiany ny fanahy maloto, dia mivoaka ireo.

³⁷And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.

³⁷Ary niely teny amin'ny tany manodidina rehetra ny lazany.

³⁸And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

³⁸Ary nony nitsangana niala tao amin'ny synagoga Jesosy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'i Simona. Ary azon'ny tazo mafy ny rafozam-bavin'i Simona; ary izy ireo nangataka taminy hahasitrana azy.

³⁹And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.

³⁹Dia nitsangana teo akaikiny Izy, ka noteneniny mafy ny tazo, dia niala tamin-dravehivavy izany; ary nitsangana niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanompo azy ireo.

⁴⁰And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;

⁴⁰Ary raha nilentika ny masoandro, ny olona rehetra izay nanana marary tamin'ny aretina samy hafa dia nitondra azy teo aminy; ary dia nametra-tanana tamin'izy rehetra tsirairay Izy ka nahasitrana azy.

⁴¹and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴¹Ary nisy demonia nivoaka tamin'ny maro ka niantso hoe: Hianao no Zanak'Andriamanitra. Nefa norarany ireo ka tsy navelany hiteny, satria nahalala Azy ho Kristy.

⁴²And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.

⁴²Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia niala Jesosy ka nankany an-tany foana; ary ny vahoaka nitady Azy, dia nankeo aminy ka te-hihazona Azy mba tsy hialany tao aminy.

⁴³But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.

⁴³Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy maintsy mitory ny teny soa mahafaly ny amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra any amin'ny tanàna hafa koa Aho, satria izany no nanirahana Ahy.Ary Izy nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagoga eran'i Galilia.

⁴⁴And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

⁴⁴Ary Izy nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagoga eran'i Galilia.
