¹And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

¹Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy teo anatrehan'ny olona izany toriteniny rehetra izany, dia nankany Kapernaomy Izy.

²And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

²Ary ny mpanompon'ny kapiteny anankiray, izay malalany, dia narary efa ho faty.

³and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

³Koa raha nahare ny amin'i Jesosy ilay kapiteny, dia naniraka loholon'ny Jiosy hankeo aminy hangataka Azy mba ho avy ka hahasitrana ny mpanompony.

⁴But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

⁴Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'i Jesosy ireo, dia nangataka mafy taminy ka nanao hoe: Miendrika ny hanaovanao izany izy,

⁵for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.

⁵satria tia ny firenentsika izy, sady izy no efa nanao ny synagoga ho antsika.

⁶And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

⁶Ary Jesosy nandeha niaraka taminy. Ary rehefa efa mby teo akaikin'ny trano Izy, ilay kapiteny dia naniraka sakaiza hitsena Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, aza manahirana ny tenanao Hianao; fa tsy miendrika hidiranao ao ambanin'ny tafon-tranoko aho.

⁷Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

⁷Koa na dia ny tenako aza dia nataoko fa tsy miendrika hankeo aminao; fa mitenena ihany, dia ho sitrana ny ankizilahiko.

⁸For *I* also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].

⁸Fa izaho koa mba lehilahy manan-dehibe ihany, ka manana miaramila izay feheziko; koa hoy izaho amin'ny anankiray: Mandehana, dia mandeha izy, ary amin'ny anankiray koa Avia, dia avy izy, ary amin'ny mpanompoko: Ataovy izao, dia manao izy.

⁹And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

⁹Ary nony nahare izany Jesosy, dia gaga taminy; ary dia nitodika Izy ka nanao tamin'ny vahoaka izay nanaraka Azy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo fa tsy mbola nahita finoana lehibe toy izany Aho, na dia tamin'ny Isiraely aza.

¹⁰And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

¹⁰Ary nony tafaverina tao an-trano ireo iraka ireo, dia hitany fa sitrana ilay mpanompo.

¹¹And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

¹¹Ary taoriana kelin'izany Jesosy dia nankany an-tanana atao hoe Naina; ary naniraka Azy ny mpianany sy ny vahoaka betsaka.[Na: (nony ampitson'iny)]

¹²And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.

¹²Ary rehefa mby teo akaikin'ny vavahadin'ny tanàna Izy, dia, indro, nisy fatin'ny lehilahy anankiray nentina nivoaka, izay zanakalahy tokan'ny reniny, sady mpitondratena ravehivavy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka avy tao an-tanàna nanaraka azy.

¹³And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;

¹³Ary nony nahita an-dravehivavy ny Tompo, dia onena azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza mitomany.

¹⁴and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

¹⁴Ary nanatona Izy ka nanendry ny tranovorona, dia nijanona izay nilanja. Ary hoy Jesosy: zatovo, hoy Izaho aminao: Miarena.

¹⁵And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

¹⁵Dia niarina ny maty sady niteny, ary dia natolony tamin-dreniny.

¹⁶And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.

¹⁶Ary raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra ka nankalaza an'Andriamanitra hoe: Mpaminany lehibe no efa mitsangana eto amintsika; ary Andriamanitra efa nitsinjo ny olony.

¹⁷And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.

¹⁷Dia niely teny Jodia rehetra sy teny amin'ny tany manodidina rehetra ny lazan'i Jesosy ny amin'izany zavatra izany.

¹⁸And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:

¹⁸Ary ny mpianatr'i Jaona nanambara izany rehetra izany taminy.

¹⁹and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art *thou* he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

¹⁹Ary Jaona niantso ny mpianany roa lahy hankao aminy, dia naniraka azy hankany amin'ny Tompo hanao hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?

²⁰But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art *thou* he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

²⁰Ary nony tonga tany aminy ireo lehilahy ireo, dia nanao hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa naniraka anay hankatỳ aminao hanao hoe: Hianao va Ilay ho avy, sa mbola hafa no andrasantsika?

²¹In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

²¹Ary tamin'izany ora izany Jesosy dia nahasitrana olona maro tamin'ny rofy sy ny aretina sy ny fanahy ratsy sady nampahiratra ny jamba maro.

²²And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;

²²Dia namaly Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ianareo, ambarao amin'i Jaona izao hitanareo sy renareo izao; mahiratra ny jamba, afaka ny mandringa, diovina ny boka, malady ny marenina, atsangana ny maty, ary ny malahelo dia itoriana ny filazantsara.

²³and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.

²³Ary sambatra izay tsy ho tafintohina noho ny amiko.

²⁴And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?

²⁴Ary rehefa lasa ny irak'i Jaona, dia nilaza an'i Jaona tamin'ny vahoaka Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Hizaha inona no nalehanareo tany an-efitra? Volotara nohozongozonin'ny rivotra va?

²⁵But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.

²⁵Sa hizaha inona no nalehanareo? Olona mitafy lamba soa va? Indro, ny mitafy lamba soa sy mihinana zava-py dia ao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka.[Gr. malemy]

²⁶But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.

²⁶Sa hizaha inona no nalehanareo tany? Mpaminany va? Eny, hoy Izaho aminareo, sady mihoatra lavitra noho ny mpaminany izy.

²⁷This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

²⁷Fa izy ilay voasoratra hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao eo alohanao (Mal. 3. 1).

²⁸for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁸Lazaiko aminareo: Amin'izay nateraky ny vehivavy tsy misy lehibe noho Jaona; nefa ny kely indrindra amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra dia lehibe noho izy.

²⁹(And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

²⁹Ary ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpamory hetra raha nandre, dia nanamarina an'Andriamanitra, satria natao batisa tamin'ny batisan'i Jaona izy.

³⁰but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)

³⁰Fa ny Fariseo sy ny mpahay lalàna kosa nandà ny fikasan'Andriamanitra, satria tsy mba nanatona hataon'i Jaona batisa izy.

³¹To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

³¹Tahaka ny inona ary no hanoharako ny olona amin'ity taranaka ity? tahaka ny inona moa izy?

³²They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

³²Tahaka ny ankizy madinika mipetraka eny an-tsena izy, izay mifampiantso hoe: Efa nitsoka sodina taminareo izahay, nefa tsy nandihy ianareo; efa nanao feo fisaonana izahay, nefa tsy nitomany ianareo.

³³For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.

³³Fa tonga Jaona Mpanao-batisa tsy nihinan-kanina na nisotro divay, ka hoy ianareo: Manana demonia izy.

³⁴The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

³⁴Tonga ny Zanak'olona mihinana sy misotro kosa, ka hoy ianareo: Indro, olona fatra-pitia hanina sy mpisotro divay, sakaizan'ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota.

³⁵and wisdom has been justified of all her children.

³⁵Fa ny fahendrena dia hamarinin'ny zanany rehetra.

³⁶But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;

³⁶Ary ny Fariseo anankiray nanasa an'i Jesosy hiara-mihinana aminy; ary dia niditra tao an-tranon'ilay Fariseo Izy ka nipetraka nihinana.

³⁷and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,

³⁷Ary, indro, nisy vehivavy mpanota tao an-tanàna, ka rehefa fantany fa Jesosy nipetraka nihinana tao an-tranon'ilay Fariseo, dia nitondra tavoara alabastara feno menaka manitra izy;

³⁸and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.

³⁸ary nijanona teo ivohony tanilan'ny tongony izy ka nitomany, dia nahakotsa ny tongony tamin'ny ranomasony sy namaoka azy tamin'ny volon-dohany, dia nanoroka fatratra ny tongony ka nanosotra azy tamin'ny menaka manitra,

³⁹And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

³⁹Ary nony nahita izany ilay Fariseo nanasa Azy, dia nanao anakampo hoe: Raha mpaminany Ity, dia ho nahalala io vehivavy manendry Azy io sy ny toeny; fa mpanota io.

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].

⁴⁰Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Simona, manan-kolazaina aminao Aho. Dia hoy izy: Lazao ary, Mpampianatra ô.

⁴¹There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;

⁴¹Nisy roa lahy nananan'ny mpampanàna vola anankiray trosa: ny iray nananany denaria diman-jato, ary ny iray kosa dimam-polo.

⁴²but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most?

⁴²Ary raha tsy nanan-kaloa izy roa lahy, dia samy navelany. Koa iza moa amin'ireo no ho tia azy indrindra?

⁴³And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.

⁴³Simona namaly ka nanao hoe: Ataoko fa ilay namoizany be. Dia hoy Izy taminy: Marina ny hevitrao.

⁴⁴And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but *she* has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

⁴⁴Ary Jesosy nitodika nijery an-dravehivavy ka nanao tamin'i Simona hoe: Hitanao va io vehivavy io? Niditra teto an-tranonao Aho; nefa tsy mba nanome Ahy rano hanasana ny tongotro ianao; fa izy kosa nahakotsa ny tongotro tamin'ny ranomasony, dia namaoka azy tamin'ny volon-dohany.

⁴⁵Thou gavest me not a kiss, but *she* from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.

⁴⁵Tsy mba nanoroka Ahy akory ianao; fa izy, hatr'izay nidirako, dia tsy mbola nitsahatra nanoroka fatratra ny tongotro.

⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but *she* has anointed my feet with myrrh.

⁴⁶Ny lohako tsy mba nohosoranao diloilo akory; fa izy kosa nanoso-menaka manitra ny tongotro.

⁴⁷For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.

⁴⁷Ary amin'izany dia lazaiko aminao: Voavela ny helony be, fa be fitiavana izy; fa izay voavela tamin'ny kely dia kely fitiavana.

⁴⁸And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

⁴⁸Dia hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Voavela ny helokao.

⁴⁹And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?

⁴⁹Ary izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy dia niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity no mba mamela heloka?Ary hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Ny finoanao efa namonjy anao; mandehana soa aman-tsara.

⁵⁰And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

⁵⁰Ary hoy Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Ny finoanao efa namonjy anao; mandehana soa aman-tsara.
