¹And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,

¹Ary raha nanakaiky any Jerosalema tao Betifaga sy Betania any an-tendrombohitra Oliva izy, dia naniraka roa lahy tamin'ny mpianany Jesosy

²and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].

²ka nanao taminy hoe: Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa; ary raha vao miditra eo ianareo, miaraka amin'izay dia hahita zana-boriky mifatotra, izay tsy mbola nitaingenan'olona; vahao izy, ka ento etỳ.

³And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

³Ary raha misy olona manao aminareo hoe: Ahoana no anaovanareo izao? dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; dia havelany ho entina etỳ indray miaraka amin'izay izy.

⁴And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.

⁴Dia nandeha izy ka nahita zana-boriky nifatotra teo ala-trano anilan'ny varavarana teo an-dalana, dia novahany izy.

⁵And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

⁵Ary ny olona sasany teo nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no amahanareo ny zana-boriky?

⁶And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].

⁶Ary izy nilaza taminy araka izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy, dia navelan'ny olona handeha izy.

⁷And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;

⁷Ary nentiny teo amin'i Jesosy ny zana-boriky, dia nataony teo amboniny ny lambany; ary Jesosy nitaingina azy.

⁸and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].

⁸Ary maro no namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany kosa nampihahaka rantsan-kazo izay efa nalainy tany an-tsaha.

⁹And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.

⁹Ary izay nandeha teo alohany sy izay nanaraka teo aoriany dia samy niantso hoe: Hosana! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah!

¹⁰Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!

¹⁰Hotahina anie ny fanjakana izay avy, dia ny an'i Davida raintsika! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹Ary Jesosy niditra tany Jerosalema ka nankeo an-kianjan'ny tempoly; ary rehefa nijerijery ny zavatra rehetra Izy, sady efa hariva ny andro tamin'izay, dia niala Izy mbamin'ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy ka nankany Betania.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.

¹²Ary nony ampitson'iny, rehefa niala tany Betania izy, dia noana Jesosy.

¹³And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

¹³Ary nahatsinjo aviavy anankiray mandravina erỳ lavidavitra Izy, dia nankeo, fa toa hahita voany eo aminy; kanjo nony tonga teo aminy Izy, dia tsy nahita na inona na inona, afa-tsy ravina ihany; fa tsy mbola tonga ny taom-pamoazan'ny aviavy.

¹⁴And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard [it].

¹⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza misy mihinana voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Ary ny mpianany nahare izany.

¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

¹⁵Ary tonga tany Jerosalema izy: ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nandroaka izay nivarotra sy izay nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly sady nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹⁶and suffered not that any one should carry any package through the temple.

¹⁶ary tsy navelany hisy olona hitondra fanaka handeha hamaky ny kianjan'ny tempoly.

¹⁷And he taught saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁷Dia nampianatra Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy voasoratra hoe va: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana ho an'ny firenena rehetra? (Isa. 56. 7); fa ianareo kosa efa nanao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jery. 7. 11).

¹⁸And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.

¹⁸Ary nahare izany ny lohan'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny mpanora-dalàna, ka dia nitady izay hamonoany Azy; saingy natahotra Azy izy, satria talanjona ny vahoaka rehetra noho ny fampianarany.

¹⁹And when it was evening he went forth without the city.

¹⁹Ary isan-kariva dia niala tao an-tanàna Izy.

²⁰And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

²⁰Ary nony maraina, raha nandalo izy, dia hitany fa efa nalazo hatramin'ny fakany ilay aviavy.

²¹And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

²¹Ary Petera nahatsiahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raby ô, indro fa efa malazo ilay aviavy nozoninao.

²²And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.

²²Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Manàna finoana an'Andriamanitra.

²³Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.

²³Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no hilaza amin'ity tendrombohitra ity hoe: Mifindrà, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, ka tsy hiahanahana ao am-pony, fa hino fa ho tonga ny zavatra lazainy, dia ho azony izany.

²⁴For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.

²⁴Koa lazaiko aminareo: Na inona na inona tononinareo amin'ny fivavahana sy angatahinareo, dia minoa fa efa nandray ianareo, dia ho azonareo izany.

²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.

²⁵Ary raha mitsangana mivavaka ianareo, ka misy olona anananareo alahelo, dia mamelà ny helony, mba havelan'ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra kosa ny helokareo.

²⁶But if *ye* do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.

²⁶[Ampio hoe: 26 Fa raha ianareo tsy mamela heloka, ny Rainareo Izay any an-danitra kosa tsy hamela ny helokareo]

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,

²⁷Ary tonga tany Jerosalema indray izy; ary raha nitsangantsangana teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ary ny loholona

²⁸and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?

²⁸ka nanao taminy hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao zavatra izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izany fahefana izany hanaovanao izao zavatra izao?

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

²⁹Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha kosa Aho, ka valio Aho; ary dia holazaiko aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao:

³⁰The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.

³⁰Ny batisan'i Jaona avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Valio Aho.

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?

³¹Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hataony hoe: Nahoana ary no tsy nino azy ianareo?

³²but should we say, Of men -- they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.

³²Fa raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, natahotra ny olona izy, satria neken'ny olona rehetra fa mpaminany tokoa Jaona.Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao.

³³And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.

³³Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Ary Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izao zavatra izao.
