¹And he went out thence and came to his own country, and his disciples follow him.

¹Ary niala teo Izy ka tonga tany amin'ny taniny, sady nanaraka Azy ny mpianany.

²And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence [has] this [man] these things? and what [is] the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands?

²Ary rehefa tonga ny Sabata, dia nampianatra tao amin'ny synagoga Izy; ary maro izay nihaino Azy dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Taiza no nahazoan'ilehity izany zavatra izany, ary manao ahoana ny fahendrena nomena Azy sy izao asa lehibe ataon'ny tànany izao?

³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

³Tsy ilay mpandrafitra, zanak'i Maria, ary rahalahin'i Jakoba sy Josesy sy Jodasy sy Simona va Ilehity? Ary tsy etỳ amintsika va ireo anabaviny? Dia tafintohina taminy izy.

⁴But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not despised save in his own country, and among [his] kinsmen, and in his own house.

⁴Fa ho Jesosy taminy: Tsy misy mpaminany tsy hajaina afa-tsy eo amin'ny taniny sy ny havany ary ny ankohonany ihany.

⁵And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed [them].

⁵Ary tsy nahazo nampiseho hery akory Izy teo, afa-tsy ny nametraka ny tànany tamin'ny olona marary vitsy foana ka nahasitrana azy.

⁶And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁶Ary gaga Izy noho ny tsi-finoany. Dia nitety ny vohitra manodidina Izy ka nampianatra.

⁷And he calls the twelve to [him]; and he began to send them out two [and] two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits;

⁷Ary niantso ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy hankeo aminy Izy ka naniraka azy tsiroaroa sy nanome azy fahefana hamoaka fanahy maloto.

⁸and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;

⁸Ary nandrara azy Izy mba tsy hitondra zavatra ho any amin'ny halehany, na hanina, na kitapo, na vola ao amin'ny fehin-kibony, afa-tsy tehina ihany.[Gr. varahina]

⁹but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats.

⁹Fa asio kapa ny tongotrareo; ary aza mitondra akanjo roa.

¹⁰And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence.

¹⁰Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Izay trano hidiranareo, dia mitoera ao mandra-pialanareo any.

¹¹And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

¹¹Ary izay tanàna tsy hampandroso anareo, na tsy hihaino anareo, raha miala ianareo, dia ahintsano ny vovoka ao am-paladianareo ho vavolombelona aminy.

¹²And they went forth and preached that they should repent;

¹²Dia lasa nandeha izy ireo ka nitory fa tokony hibebaka ny olona.

¹³and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.

¹³Ary demonia maro no navoakany; ary nohosorany diloilo ny marary maro ka nositraniny.

¹⁴And Herod the king heard [of him] (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among [the] dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

¹⁴Ary nahare izany Heroda mpanjaka (fa efa nalaza ny anaran'i Jesosy), dia hoy izy: Jaona Mpanao-batisa efa nitsangana tamin'ny maty izay, ka izany no ananany hery hanao ireo asa lehibe ireo.

¹⁵And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁵Fa hoy ny sasany: Elia Izy; ary hoy ny sasany: Mpaminany Izy dia toy ny anankiray amin'ny mpaminany.

¹⁶But Herod when he heard [it] said, John whom *I* beheaded, he it is; *he* is risen [from among the dead].

¹⁶Ary rehefa nahare izany Heroda, dia hoy izy: Jaona izay, ilay notapahiko ny lohany; efa nitsangana izy.

¹⁷For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

¹⁷Fa Heroda ihany no naniraka sy nisambotra an'i Jaona ka namatotra azy tao an-tranomaizina noho ny amin'i Herodiasy vadin'i Filipo rahalahiny; fa nanambady azy izy.

¹⁸For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

¹⁸Fa Jaona efa nilaza tamin'i Heroda hoe: Diso ianao, raha manambady ny vadin'ny rahalahinao.

¹⁹But Herodias kept it [in her mind] against him, and wished to kill him, and could not:

¹⁹Ary Herodiasy dia nanao otri-po taminy ka naniry hahafaty azy, nefa tsy nahazo.

²⁰for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

²⁰Fa Heroda natahotra an'i Jaona, satria fantany fa lehilahy marina sy masina izy, ka dia niaro azy izy; ary rehefa nandre azy izy, dia very hevitra be ihany; ary nihaino azy tamin'ny hafaliana izy.[Na: nanao zavatra maro]

²¹And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief [men] of Galilee;

²¹Ary rehefa tonga izay andro antonona, dia ilay nanaovan'i Heroda fanasana ho an'ny lehibe sy ny mpifehy arivo ary ny loholona tany Galilia tamin'ny andro fahatsiarovana ny nahaterahany,[Na: tamin'ny fitsingerenan'ny taona]

²²and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with [him] at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

²²ka niditra ny zanakavavin'i Herodiasy ary nandihy ka nahafaly an'i Heroda mbamin'izay niara-nipetraka nihinana teo aminy, dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin-drazazavavy: Angataho amiko izay tianao na inona na inona, dia homeko anao.

²³And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.

²³Ary nianiana taminy hoe izy: Na inona na inona hangatahinao amiko dia homeko anao na dia hatramin'ny antsasaky ny fanjakako aza.

²⁴And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

²⁴Dia nivoaka razazavavy ka nanao tamin-dreniny hoe: Inona no hangatahiko? Ary hoy reniny: Ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

²⁵And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

²⁵Dia niditra faingana niaraka tamin'izay izy ho ao amin'ny mpanjaka ka nangataka hoe: Tiako raha homenao ahy faingana eto an-dovia ny lohan'i Jaona Mpanao-batisa.

²⁶And the king, [while] made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with [him] would not break his word with her.

²⁶Dia nalahelo indrindra ny mpanjaka, kanefa noho ny fianianany sy ny olona izay nipetraka nihinana teo, dia tsy sahy nandà azy izy.

²⁷And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison,

²⁷Ary niaraka tamin'izay ny mpanjaka dia naniraka mpiambina, ka nasainy nentiny ny lohan'i Jaona. Ary dia nandeha izy, ka notapahiny tao an-tranomaizina ny lohany.

²⁸and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

²⁸Dia nentiny teo an-dovia ny lohany ka nomeny an-drazazavavy; ary razazavavy kosa dia nanome azy an-dreniny.

²⁹And his disciples having heard [it], came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.

²⁹Ary rehefa nandre izany ny mpianany, dia tonga ka naka ny faty ary nandevina azy.

³⁰And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, [both] what they had done and what they had taught.

³⁰Ary ny Apostoly niangona teo amin'i Jesosy ka nilaza taminy izay rehetra efa nataony mbamin'izay nampianariny.

³¹And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

³¹Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Avia ianareo hitokana any an-tany foana, ka mialà sasatra kelikely (fa maro no nifamoivoy, ka tsy nisy hihinanana aza).

³²And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.

³²Dia nandeha an-tsambokely izy hitokana any an-tany foana.

³³And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got [there] before them.

³³Ary ny olona nahita azy mandeha, sady betsaka no nahalala an'i Jesosy, dia niala avy teny amin'ny tanàna rehetra ny olona ka nihazakazaka nandeha an-tanety, dia tonga talohany.[Na: nandeha tongotra]

³⁴And on leaving [the ship] [Jesus] saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

³⁴Ary nony niala Jesosy, dia nahita vahoaka betsaka Izy ka onena azy, fa tahaka ny ondry tsy manana mpiandry ireo; dia nampianatra azy zavatra maro Izy.

³⁵And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;

³⁵Ary rehefa hariva ny andro, dia nanatona Azy ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Tany foana ity, ka efa hariva ny andro ankehitriny;

³⁶send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

³⁶ravao ny olona mba hankanesany eny an-tsaha sy eny amin'ny vohitra manodidina hividy hanina ho azy.

³⁷And he answering said to them, Give *ye* them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

³⁷Fa Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Omeonareo hanina izy. Fa hoy kosa izy ireo taminy: Handeha hividy mofo izay azon'ny denaria roan-jato va izahay, ka homenay azy hohaniny?

³⁸And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go [and] see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.

³⁸Fa hoy Izy taminy: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Andeha, izahao. Ary rehefa fantany, dia hoy izy: Dimy sy hazandrano roa.

³⁹And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.

³⁹Dia nasain'i Jesosy nampipetraka ny olona rehetra hatao an-tokotokony eny ambonin'ny ahi-maitso izy.

⁴⁰And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.

⁴⁰Dia nipetraka an-tokony zato sy dimam-polo avy ny olona.

⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples that they might set [them] before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

⁴¹Ary rehefa voarain'i Jesosy ny mofo dimy sy ny hazandrano roa, dia niandrandra ny lanitra Izy ka nisaotra, dia novakiny ny mofo ka natolony ny mpianatra mba harosony eny anoloan'ny olona; ary ny hazandrano roa nozarainy tamin'ny olona rehetra.

⁴²And they all ate and were satisfied.

⁴²Ary samy nihinana avokoa ny olona rehetra ka voky.

⁴³And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.

⁴³Ary nangoniny izay sombintsombin'ny mofo sy ny hazandrano, ka dia nahafeno harona roa ambin'ny folo.

⁴⁴And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

⁴⁴Ary izay nihinana ny mofo dia dimy arivo lahy.

⁴⁵And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before to the other side to Bethsaida, while *he* sends the crowd away.

⁴⁵Ary niaraka tamin'izay Jesosy dia nanery ny mpianany hiondrana an-tsambokely hita hialoha ho any Betsaida, mandra-pandràvany ny vahoaka.

⁴⁶And, having dismissed them, he departed into the mountain to pray.

⁴⁶Ary rehefa nanao veloma ny olona Izy, dia lasa nankany an-tendrombohitra hivavaka.

⁴⁷And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and *he* alone upon the land.

⁴⁷Ary nony hariva ny andro, dia efa mby teo ampovoan'ny ranomasina ny sambokely, ary Izy irery ihany no teo an-tanety.

⁴⁸And seeing them labouring in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

⁴⁸Ary nahita azy ireo sahirana nivoy fatratra Izy, fa notohain'ny rivotra: ary tokony ho tamin'ny fiambenana fahefatra amin'ny alina dia nankeny aminy nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina Jesosy ka nikasa handalo azy.

⁴⁹But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out.

⁴⁹Ary rehefa hitany nitsangantsangana tambonin'ny ranomasina Izy, dia nataony ho matoatoa, ka niantso mafy izy ireo.

⁵⁰For all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good courage: it is *I*; be not afraid.

⁵⁰Fa izy rehetra samy nahita Azy avokoa, ka dia raiki-tahotra. Ary Izy niteny taminy niaraka tamin'izay ka nanao taminy hoe: Matokia, fa Izaho ihany; aza matahotra.

⁵¹And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered;

⁵¹Ary niakatra nankeo aminy teo an-tsambokely Izy; dia nitsahatra ny rivotra, ka dia talanjona izy ireo.

⁵²for they understood not through the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

⁵²Ary tsy fantany ny amin'ny mofo; fa efa mafy ny fony.

⁵³And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and made the shore.

⁵³Ary nony tafita izy, dia tonga teo amin'ny tany Genesareta ka niantsona teo.

⁵⁴And on their coming out of the ship, immediately recognising him,

⁵⁴Ary raha niala teo an-tsambokely izy, dia nahalala an'i Jesosy niaraka tamin'izay ny olona teo

⁵⁵they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.

⁵⁵ka nihazakazaka tamin'izany tany rehetra izany ary nitondra ny marary tamin'ny fandriana ho any amin'izay reny fa nitoerany.Ary na taiza na taiza no nidiran'i Jesosy, na tao amin'ny vohitra, na tao an-tanàna, na tany an-tsaha, dia napetraka teo an-kianja ny marary, ary ny olona nangataka hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; ary sitrana izay rehetra nanendry Azy.[Gr. voavonjy]

⁵⁶And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.

⁵⁶Ary na taiza na taiza no nidiran'i Jesosy, na tao amin'ny vohitra, na tao an-tanàna, na tany an-tsaha, dia napetraka teo an-kianja ny marary, ary ny olona nangataka hanendry na dia ny somotraviavin-dambany ihany aza; ary sitrana izay rehetra nanendry Azy.[Gr. voavonjy]
