¹And he entered again into Capernaum after [several] days, and it was reported that he was at [the] house;

¹Ary nony niditra tao Kapernaomy indray Izy, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy, dia re fa tao an-trano Izy,

²and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

²ka dia tafangona ny maro, ka tsy nisy hitoerana intsony, na dia teny anoloan'ny varavarana aza; ary Izy nitory ny teny taminy.

³And there come to him [men] bringing a paralytic, borne by four;

³Ary nisy nanatona nitondra ny anankiray mararin'ny paralysisa ho eo aminy, izay nolanjain'efa-dahy.

⁴and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug [it] up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

⁴Ary satria tsy afaka nanakaiky Azy izy noho ny habetsahan'ny vahoaka, dia nanesorany ny tafon'ny trano nitoeran'i Jesosy, ka nony efa voasokatra, dia nampidininy teo ny fandriana izay nandrian'ilay nararin'ny paralysisa.

⁵But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].

⁵Ary Jesosy, nony nahita ny finoan'ireo, dia nanao tamin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa hoe: Anaka, voavela ny helokao.

⁶But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁶Ary nisy mpanora-dalàna sasany nipetraka teo ka nieritreritra tao am-pony hoe:

⁷Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?

⁷Nahoana Ilehity no miteny toy izany? Miteny ratsy Izy. Iza no mahavela heloka afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra? [Gr. manao blasfemia, izahao Mat.9.3]

⁸And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

⁸Ary niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy dia nahalala tao am-panahiny fa nieritreritra izany tao am-pony ireo, dia hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana ianareo no mieritreritra izany zavatra izany ao am-ponareo?

⁹Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?

⁹Iza moa no moramora kokoa, ny manao amin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa hoe: Voavela ny helokao, sa ny manao hoe: Mitsangàna, betao ny fandrianao, ka mandehana?

¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

¹⁰Fa mba ho fantatrareo fa ny Zanak'olona manana fahefana etỳ ambonin'ny tany hamela heloka, dia lazaiko aminao (hoy Izy tamin'ilay mararin'ny paralysisa):

¹¹To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.

¹¹Mitsangàna, betao ny fandrianao, ka modia any an-tranonao.

¹²And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before [them] all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.

¹²Dia nitsangana izy ka nambeta ny fandriany niaraka tamin'izay ary niala teo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra; dia talanjona izy rehetra ka nankalaza an'Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Tsy mbola nahita izay toy izao izahay.

¹³And he went out again by the sea, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

¹³Ary lasa nandeha teny amoron-dranomasina indray Jesosy; ary ny vahoaka rehetra nanatona Azy, ka dia nampianatra azy Izy.

¹⁴And passing by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁴Ary nony nandalo Izy, dia nahita an'i Levy, zanak'i Alfeo, nipetraka teo am-pamorian-ketra; ka hoy Izy taminy: Manaraha Ahy. Dia nitsangana izy ka nanaraka Azy.[Izahao Mat. 9.9]

¹⁵And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

¹⁵Ary raha nipetraka nihinana tao an-tranony Izy, dia maro ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota no niara-nipetraka nihinana tamin'i Jesosy mbamin'ny mpianany; fa nisy maro tao, dia nanaraka Azy izy.

¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why [is it] that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹⁶Ary ny mpanora-dalàna, izay isan'ny Fariseo, raha nahita fa niara-nipetraka nihinana tamin'ny mpanota sy ny mpamory hetra Izy, dia niteny tamin'ny mpianatra hoe: Miara-mihinana sy misotro amin'ny mpamory hetra sy ny mpanota Izy![Na:Ary ny Mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo]

¹⁷And Jesus having heard [it] says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous [men], but sinners.

¹⁷Ary raha nahare izany Jesosy, dia nanao taminy hoe: Tsy ny finaritra no mila mpanao fanafody, fa ny marary; tsy tonga hiantso ny marina Aho, fa ny mpanota

¹⁸And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and [the disciples] of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁸Ary ny mpianatr'i Jaona sy ny Fariseo nifady hanina tamin'izany; dia avy izy ka nanao tamin'i Jesosy hoe: Nahoana ny mpianatr'i Jaona sy ny mpianatry ny Fariseo no mifady hanina, fa ny mpianatrao kosa tsy mba mifady?

¹⁹And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

¹⁹Ary Jesosy niteny taminy hoe: Mahay mifady va ny havan'ny mpampakatra raha mbola ao aminy ihany ny mpampakatra? Raha mbola ao aminy ihany ny mpampakatra dia tsy mahay mifady izy.

²⁰But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then shall they fast in that day.

²⁰Fa ho avy andro izay hanalana ny mpampakatra hiala ao aminy, ka amin'izany andro izany hifady izy.

²¹No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment: otherwise its new filling-up takes from the old [stuff], and there is a worse rent.

²¹Tsy misy olona manjaitra tapa-damba tsy mbola voalòna amin'ny lamba tonta; fa raha izany, ny vaovao izay natampina dia handrompitra ny tonta, ka hitatra ny triatra.

²²And no one puts new wine into old skins; otherwise the wine bursts the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine is to be put into new skins.

²²Ary tsy misy olona manisy divay vaovao ao anaty siny hoditra tonta. fa raha izany, ny divay dia hahatriatra ny siny hoditra, ka dia samy ho very foana ny divay sy ny siny hoditra; fa divay vaovao no ho ao anaty siny hoditra vaovao.

²³And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears.

²³Ary nandeha namaky ny tanim-bary tamin'ny Sabata Jesosy; ary ny mpianatra dia nanoty ny salohim-bary teny am-pandehanana.

²⁴And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful?

²⁴Ary ny Fariseo nanao taminy hoe: Indro, nahoana ireo no manao izay tsy mety amin'ny Sabata?

²⁵And *he* said to them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need and hungered, *he* and those with him,

²⁵Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny milaza ilay nataon'i Davida, raha reraky ny hanoanana izy mbamin'izay nanaraka azy,

²⁶how he entered into the house of God, in [the section of] Abiathar [the] high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?

²⁶fa niditra tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra tamin'ny andron'i Abiatara mpisoronabe izy ka nihinana ny mofo aseho, izay mahadiso raha misy homana izany, afa-tsy ny mpisorona ihany, ary nomeny koa izay nanaraka azy?

²⁷And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath;

²⁷Ary hoy Izy taminy: Ny Sabata no natao ho ny olona, fa tsy ny olona ho an'ny Sabata.ka dia Tompon'ny Sabata aza ny Zanak'olona.

²⁸so that the Son of man is lord of the sabbath also.

²⁸ka dia Tompon'ny Sabata aza ny Zanak'olona.
