¹Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God;

¹Ny niandohan'ny filazantsaran'i Jesosy Kristy, Zanak'Andriamanitra.

²as it is written in [Isaiah] the prophet, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.

²Araka izay voasoratra ao amin'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Indro, Izaho maniraka ny irako hialoha Anao, Izay hamboatra ny lalanao (Mal 3. 1); [Na: ao amin'ny mpaminany]

³Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.

³Injany! misy feon'ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan'i Jehovah. Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany (Isa 40. 3),

⁴There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

⁴dia niseho Jaona, izay nanao batisa tany an-efitra ka nitory ny batisan'ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka.

⁵And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Dia nandeha nanatona azy ny tany Jodia rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema, ka nataony batisa tao amin'ny ony Jordana ireny, rehefa niaiky ny fahotany.

⁶And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.

⁶Ary Jaona nitafy lamba volon-drameva; ary fehin-kibo hoditra no tamin'ny valahany, ary ny fihinany dia valala sy tantely remby.

⁷And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

⁷Ary nitory izy ka nanao hoe: Avy ao aoriako Ilay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hiondrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.

⁸*I* indeed have baptised you with water, but *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.

⁸Izaho efa nanao batisa anareo tamin'ny rano, fa Izy kosa hanao batisa anareo amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

⁹And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.

⁹Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia tonga avy tany Nazareta any Galilia Jesosy ka nataon'i Jaona batisa tao Jordana.

¹⁰And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

¹⁰Ary raha vao niakatra avy teo amin'ny rano Izy, dia hitany ny lanitra nisokatra, ary ny Fanahy nidina tahaka ny voromailala ka nankeo amboniny.

¹¹And there came a voice out of the heavens: *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

¹¹Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako, Hianao no sitrako.

¹²And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.

¹²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nampandehanin'ny Fanahy ho any an-efitra Izy.[Gr. noroahin']

¹³And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

¹³Ary tany an-efitra efa-polo andro Izy ka nalain'i Satana fanahy; ary teo amin'ny bibi-dia Izy, ary ny anjely nanompo Azy.

¹⁴But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,

¹⁴Ary rehefa voasambotra Jaona, dia nankany Galilia Jesosy nitory ny filazantsaran'Andriamanitra

¹⁵and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.

¹⁵ka nanao hoe: Efa tonga ny fotoana, ka efa akaiky ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra; mibebaha ianareo ka minoa ny filazantsara.

¹⁶And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, [Simon's] brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

¹⁶Ary nony nandalo teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy, dia nahita an'i Simona sy Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona, nanarato teo amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁷And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;

¹⁷Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

¹⁸and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.

¹⁸Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

¹⁹And going on thence a little, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these [were] in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

¹⁹Ary rehefa nandroso kelikely Izy, nahita an'i Jakoba, zanak'i Zebedio, Jaona rahalahiny, izay teo an-tsambokely koa namboatra ny haratony.

²⁰and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.

²⁰Dia niantso azy niaraka tamin'izay Izy; ary izy mirahalahy nandao an'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely mbamin'ny olona nokaramainy, ka dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

²¹And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.

²¹Ary nankany Kapernaomy izy ireo; nony tamin'ny Sabata, dia niditra tao amin'ny synagoga niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy ka nampianatra.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²²Dia talanjona ny olona tamin'ny fampianarany, satria nampianatra azy tahaka izay manana fahefana Izy, fa tsy mba tahaka ny mpanora-dalàna.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man [possessed] by an unclean spirit, and he cried out

²³Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy olona teo amin'ny synagogany, izay azon'ny fanahy maloto; ary niantso mafy ralehilahy

²⁴saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.

²⁴ka nanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izahay sy Hianao, ry Jesosy avy any Nazareta? Avy handringana anay va Hianao? Fantatro fa Ilay Masin'Andriamanitra Hianao.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.

²⁵Ary Jesosy niteny mafy azy ka nanao hoe: Mangina ianao ka mivoaha aminy.

²⁶And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.

²⁶Ary ny fanahy maloto nampifanintontsintona ny tenan'ilay marary, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery ka niala taminy.

²⁷And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

²⁷Dia gaga ny olona rehetra ka nifanontany hoe: Manao ahoana re izao zavatra izao? Fampianarana vaovao misy fahefana izao! fa ny fanahy maloto aza no didiany, ka dia manaiky Azy.

²⁸And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.

²⁸Ary ny lazany dia niely niaraka tamin'izay teny tontolo eny tamin'ny tany rehetra eran'i Galilia.

²⁹And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.

²⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay, raha nivoaka avy tao amin'ny synagoga izy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'i Simona sy Andrea Jesosy ary Jakoba sy Jaona.

³⁰And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.

³⁰Ary ny rafozam-bavin'i Simona nandry teo nanavin'ny tazo; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nilaza azy taminy izy ireo.

³¹And he went up to [her] and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.

³¹Dia nanatona Jesosy ka nandray ny tànany ary nanarina azy; dia afaka ny tazony, ka dia nanompo azy izy.

³²But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

³²Ary nony hariva ny andro, ka nilentika ny masoandro, dia nentina tany aminy ny marary rehetra sy ny demoniaka.

³³and the whole city was gathered together at the door.

³³Ary ny tao an-tanàna rehetra dia tafangona teo anoloan'ny varavarana avokoa.

³⁴And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.

³⁴Ary nahasitrana olona maro izay nararin'ny aretina samy hafa Izy sady namoaka demonia maro; ary tsy navelany hiteny ny demonia, satria nahafantatra Azy ireny.

³⁵And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.

³⁵Ary nifoha maraina alina koa Izy, dia nivoaka nankany an-tany foana ka nivavaka tany.

³⁶And Simon and those with him went after him:

³⁶Ary dia nandeha nitady Azy Simona sy ny namany.

³⁷and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

³⁷Ary nahita Azy izy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ny olona rehetra mitady Anao.

³⁸And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.

³⁸Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Andeha isika hiala hankany amin'ny tanàna akaiky, mba hitoriako teny any koa; fa izay no nahatongavako.

³⁹And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.

³⁹Dia nandeha Izy ka nitori-teny tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona eran'i Galilia sady namoaka ny demonia.

⁴⁰And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.

⁴⁰Ary nisy boka nanatona Azy ka nitaraina taminy sady nandohalika teo anatrehany ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mety Hianao, dia mahay manadio ahy.

⁴¹But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.

⁴¹Ary Jesosy dia onena azy ka naninjitra ny tànany, dia nanendry azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mety Aho; madiova ianao.

⁴²And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

⁴²Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niala taminy ny habokany, ka dia nadio izy.

⁴³And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,

⁴³Ary namepetra azy mafy Jesosy, dia nampandeha azy niaraka tamin'izay

⁴⁴and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

⁴⁴ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo tsara mba tsy hisy holazainao na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa mandehana, misehoa amin'ny mpisorona, ka manatera ny fanadiovana anao, izay nandidian'i Mosesy, ho vavolombelona amin'ireo.Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.

⁴⁵But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

⁴⁵Nefa lasa ralehilahy ka nilazalaza sy nampiely izany zavatra izany, ka dia tsy nahazo niditra miharihary tao an-tanàna intsony Jesosy; fa nitoetra tany ivelany tamin'ny tany foana Izy, dia nanatona Azy ny olona avy eny tontolo eny.
