¹And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,

¹Ary niangona teo aminy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna sasany, izay avy tany Jerosalema

²and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

²ka nahita ny mpianatra sasany fa nihinan-kanina tamin'ny tanana tsy madio, izany hoe, tsy voasasa.

³(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

³(Fa ny Fariseo sy ny Jiosy rehetra tsy mba mihinana, raha tsy efa manasa tsara ny tànany, satria mitàna ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana izy.[Gr. sasàny amin'ny totohondry]

⁴and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

⁴Ary raha avy any an-tsena, dia tsy mihinana izy, raha tsy misasa aloha. Ary misy fomba maro koa izay noraisiny hotanana, dia ny manasa kapoaka sy famarana mbamin'izay fanaka varahina.) [ Gr. sekstaria] [ ampio hoe: ary farafara]

⁵then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

⁵Dia nanontany Azy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna hoe: Nahoana ny mpianatrao no tsy manaraka ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana, fa mihinan-kanina amin'ny tanana tsy misasa izy?

⁶But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

⁶Fa Jesosy nanao taminy hoe: Marina ny naminanian'Isaia anareo mpihatsaravelatsihy, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ity firenena ity manaja Ahy amin'ny molony, Fa ny fony kosa lavitra Ahy.

⁷But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.

⁷Koa foana ny ivavahan'ireo amiko, Raha mampianatra ny didin'olombelona ho fampianarana izy. (Isa. 29. 13).

⁸[For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] -- washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

⁸Mahafoy ny didin'Andriamanitra ianareo ka mitana ny fanaon'ny olona.

⁹And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].

⁹Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Hay! tsara ny nahafoizanareo ny didin'Andriamanitra mba hitandremanareo ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo!

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

¹⁰Fa hoy Mosesy: Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12), ary koa: Izay miteny ratsy ny rainy sy ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa (Eks. 21. 17).

¹¹But *ye* say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

¹¹Fa hoy kosa ianareo: Raha misy olona milaza amin'ny rainy na amin'ny reniny hoe: Efa korbana (izany hoe, fanatitra ho an'Andriamanitra) izay rehetra tokony hahazoanao soa avy amiko,

¹²And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;

¹²dia tsy avelanareo hanao na inona na inona ho an'ny rainy sy ny reniny intsony izy,[Na: dia voafehin'ny voadiny izy. Ary dia etc]

¹³making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.

¹³ka dia foananareo ny tenin'Andriamanitra amin'ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo, izay nasainareo hotandremana; ary zavatra maro mifanahatahaka amin'izany koa no ataonareo.

¹⁴And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:

¹⁴Ary niantso ny vahoaka hankeo aminy indray Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa Ahy ianareo rehetra, ka mahafantara.

¹⁵There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

¹⁵Fa tsy ny zavatra avy eo ivelany izay miditra ao anatin'ny olona no mahaloto azy; fa izay mivoaka avy ao anatin'ny olona no mahaloto azy. [Ampio hoe:]

¹⁶If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶[Raha misy manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino]

¹⁷And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁷Ary rehefa niala teo amin'ny vahoaka Izy ka niditra tao an-trano, dia nanontany Azy ny mpianany ny amin'izany fanoharana izany.

¹⁸And he says to them, Are *ye* also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,

¹⁸Ary hoy Izy taminy: Hay! ianareo koa aza mba tsy mahafantatra! Tsy fantatrareo va fa izay rehetra eo ivelan'ny olona ka miditra ao anatiny dia tsy mahaloto azy,

¹⁹because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?

¹⁹satria tsy miditra ao am-pony izany, fa ao an-kibony ihany, ka dia mivoaka ao amin'ny fivoahana; izany no nolazainy mba hahadio ny hanina rehetra.

²⁰And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

²⁰Ary hoy Izy: Izay mivoaka avy ao amin'ny olona, dia izany no mahaloto azy.

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²¹Fa avy ao anatin'ny olona dia avy ao am-pony, no ivoahan'ny sain-dratsy, dia ny fijangajangana, ny halatra, ny vonoan-olona, ny fakam-badin'olona,

²²thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;

²²ny fieremana, ny lolom-po, ny fitaka, ny fijejojejoana, ny maso ratsy, ny fitenenan-dratsy, ny avonavona, ny fahadalana:[Gr. blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9. 3]

²³all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

²³izany zava-dratsy rehetra izany no mivoaka avy ao anatin'ny olona ka mahaloto azy.

²⁴And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.

²⁴Ary niala teo Jesosy ka lasa nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Tyro sy Sidona; dia niditra tao an-trano Izy, ary tiany tsy ho fantatry ny olona izany; kanefa tsy nahazo niery Izy.

²⁵But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet

²⁵Fa niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy vehivavy anankiray nandre ny aminy (ny zananivavy tanora dia azom-panahy maloto), dia nankao ka niankohoka tamin'ny tongony.

²⁶(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁶Ary jentilisa ravehivavy, avy amin'ny firenena Syro-foinika; dia nangataka taminy izy mba hamoaka ny demonia amin'ny zananivavy.

²⁷But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁷Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Aoka ho voky aloha ny zaza; fa tsy mety raha maka ny mofon-jaza ka manipy azy ho an'ny amboakely.

²⁸But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

²⁸Fa ravehivavy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Eny, Tompoko; kanefa na dia ny amboakely ao ambanin'ny latabatra aza dia mba mihinana ny sombintsombin'ny mofon-jaza ihany.

²⁹And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

²⁹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Noho izany teny izany mandehana ianao; efa nivoaka tamin'ny zanakao-vavy ny demonia.

³⁰And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

³⁰Ary raha tonga tao an-tranony ravehivavy, dia hitany nandry teo ambonin'ny farafara ny zananivavy, ary ny demonia efa nivoaka taminy.

³¹And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

³¹Ary Jesosy niala indray tamin'ny sisin-tanin'i Tyro, dia namaky an'i Sidona sy ny tany Dekapolisy ka nankany amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia.

³²And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

³²Ary nisy marenina sady raiki-dela anankiray nentiny tany aminy, ka nangataka taminy ireo mba hametrahany tanana.

³³And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;

³³Ary nitondra an-dralehilahy nitanila niala teo amin'ny vahoaka Izy, dia nangarona ny sofiny tamin'ny rantsan-tànany, dia nandrora ka nanendry ny lelany;

³⁴and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁴ary niandrandra ny lanitra Izy, dia nisento ka nanao taminy hoe: Efata, izany hoe: Maladia.

³⁵And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

³⁵Dia nalady ny sofiny, sady voavaha ny fatoran'ny lelany, ka dia nahateny tsara izy.

³⁶And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it;

³⁶Ary nandrara ny olona teo Jesosy mba tsy hilazalaza na amin'iza na amin'iza; fa na dia norarany aza izy, dia vao mainka nampiely izany bebe kokoa.Dia talanjona indrindra ny olona ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny nanaovany ny zavatra rehetra; fa sady mampahalady ny marenina Izy no mampiteny ny moana.

³⁷and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

³⁷Dia talanjona indrindra ny olona ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny nanaovany ny zavatra rehetra; fa sady mampahalady ny marenina Izy no mampiteny ny moana.
