¹In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,

¹Tamin'izany andro izany, nony betsaka indray ny vahoaka teo sady tsy nanan-kohanina izy, dia nantsoin'i Jesosy hanatona Azy ny mpianany ka nilazany hoe:

²I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

²Mahonena Ahy ireo vahoaka, fa hateloana izay no nitoerany tatỳ amiko, sady tsy manan-kohanina izy;

³and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.

³koa raha hampodiko ho any an-tranony mbola tsy nihinana izy, dia ho reraka eny an-dalana, sady avy lavitra ny sasany.

⁴And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?

⁴Fa ny mpianany namaly Azy hoe: Aiza no hahazoana mofo atỳ an-efitra hahavoky ireto olona ireto!

⁵And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

⁵Ary izy nanontany azy hoe: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Ary hoy ireo: Fito.

⁶And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.

⁶Dia nasainy nipetraka tamin'ny tany ny vahoaka; ary dia nandray ny mofo fito Izy, ka rehefa nisaotra, dia novakiny ka natolony ny mpianany mba harosony; dia narosony teny anoloan'ny vahoaka izany.

⁷And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].

⁷Ary nisy hazandrano madinika vitsy tao aminy; ka rehefa nanaovan'i Jesosy fisaorana ireo, dia nasainy naroso teny anoloany koa.

⁸And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

⁸Ary nihinana ny olona, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka nisy fito sobiky.

⁹And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

⁹Ary tokony ho efatra arivo ireo. Dia nampodiny izy.

¹⁰And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹⁰Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia niondrana an-tsambokely Izy mbamin'ny mpianany ka tonga tany amin'ny fari-tanin'i Dalmanota.

¹¹And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹¹Ary ny Fariseo nankany, dia niady hevitra taminy ary naka fanahy Azy ka nitady famantarana avy any an-danitra.

¹²And groaning in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, A sign shall in no wise be given to this generation.

¹²Ary nisento mafy am-panahy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ity taranaka ity no mitady famantarana? Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa tsy homena famantarana akory ity taranaka ity.

¹³And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.

¹³Ary nandao azy Izy, dia niondrana indray ka lasa nankeny am-pita.

¹⁴And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.

¹⁴Ary tsy tsaroan'ireo ny hitondra mofo, ka tsy nisy teo an-tsambokely afa-tsy mofo iray ihany.

¹⁵And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.

¹⁵Dia nananatra azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Mihevera, ka mitandrema ianareo, fandrao azon'ny masirasiran'ny Fariseo sy ny masirasiran'i Heroda.

¹⁶And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.

¹⁶Ary niara-nisaina izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tsy nitondrantsika mofo angaha izany.

¹⁷And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?

¹⁷Ary Jesosy nahalala izany, dia nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no miara-misaina, satria tsy manana mofo? Tsy mbola mahazo an-tsaina na mahafantatra va ianareo? Efa mafy va ny fonareo?

¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁸Mana-maso, fa tsy mahita va ianareo? Ary manan-tsofina, fa tsy mandre va ianareo? Ary tsy mahatadidy va ianareo?

¹⁹When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

¹⁹Raha ny mofo dimy no novakiko ho an'ny dimy arivo, firy harona moa no sombintsombiny nangoninareo? Hoy ny mpianany taminy: Roa ambin'ny folo.

²⁰And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²⁰Ary raha ny mofo fito ho an'ny efatra arivo, firy sobiky moa no sombintsombiny nangoninareo? Dia hoy ny mpianany: Fito.

²¹And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?

²¹Ary hoy Izy taminy: Mbola tsy mahafantatra ihany va ianareo?

²²And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.

²²Ary tonga tany Betsaida izy; ary nisy nitondra lehilahy jamba teo amin'i Jesosy ka nangataka taminy hanendry ilay jamba.

²³And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.

²³Ary nitantana ilay jamba Izy ka nitondra azy teny ivelan'ny tanàna; ary rehefa nororany ny masony, ka napetrany taminy ny tànany, dia nanontaniany hoe izy: Mahita zavatra va ianao?

²⁴And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.

²⁴Dia niandrandra ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Mahita ny olona aho: fa toa hazo ny fijeriko azy, saingy mamindra.

²⁵Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.

²⁵Dia napetrany tamin'ny masony indray ny tànany, dia nibanjina ralehilahy ka nahiratra tsara, ary hitany miharihary ny zavatra rehetra.

²⁶And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village.

²⁶Ary Jesosy nampody azy ho any an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Aza mankao an-tanàna.

²⁷And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁷Ary Jesosy sy ny mpianany dia lasa nankeny amin'ireny tanàna momba an'i Kaisaria-filipo; ary nony teny an-dalana dia nanontany ny mpianany Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ataon'ny olona ho iza moa Aho?

²⁸And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁸Ary izy nanao taminy hoe: Jaona Mpanao-batisa; fa hoy ny sasany: Elia; ary hoy ny sasany: Anankiray amin'ny mpaminany.

²⁹And he asked them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, *Thou* art the Christ.

²⁹Ary Jesosy nanontany azy hoe: Fa ianareo kosa manao Ahy ho iza? Dia namaly Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao no Kristy.

³⁰And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.

³⁰Ary nandrara azy rehetra Izy mba tsy hilazalaza Azy amin'olona.

³¹And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again].

³¹Dia nampianatra azy Izy fa ny Zanak'olona tsy maintsy hijaly mafy ka holavin'ny loholona sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona ary ny mpanora-dalàna, dia hovonoiny, ary rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana indray Izy.

³²And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.

³²Ary naharihariny tsara no filaza izany teny izany. Ary Petera nanohina Azy hitanila kely, dia niteny mafy Azy.

³³But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

³³Fa Izy nihodina, dia nijery ny mpianany ka niteny mafy an'i Petera hoe: Mankanesa ato ivohoko, ry Satana, satria tsy misaina izay an'Andriamanitra ianao, fa izay an'ny olona.

³⁴And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

³⁴Ary nantsoiny hanatona Azy ny vahoaka mbamin'ny mpianany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Raha misy ta-hanaraka Ahy, dia aoka izy handà ny tenany sy hitondra ny hazo fijaliany ka hanaraka Ahy.

³⁵For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

³⁵Fa na iza na iza no ta-hamonjy ny ainy, dia hahavery ary; ary na iza na iza no hahavery ny ainy noho ny amiko sy ny filazantsara, dia hamonjy izany.

³⁶For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?

³⁶Fa inona no soa azon'ny olona, raha mahazo izao tontolo izao aza, kanefa very ny ainy?

³⁷for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁷Fa inona no homen'ny olona ho takalon'ny ainy?Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko amin'ity taranaka sady mijangajanga no manota ity, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahitry ny Rainy mbamin'ny anjely masina.

³⁸For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

³⁸Fa na iza na iza no ho menatra Ahy sy ny teniko amin'ity taranaka sady mijangajanga no manota ity, dia ho menatra azy kosa ny Zanak'olona, raha avy amin'ny voninahitry ny Rainy mbamin'ny anjely masina.
