¹Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

¹Dia nankeo amin'i Jesosy ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna sasany avy tany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe:

²Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

²Nahoana ny mpianatrao no mandika ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana? Fa tsy mba manasa tanana izy, raha hihinan-kanina.

³But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?

³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana kosa ianareo no mandika ny didin'Andriamanitra noho ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo?

⁴For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

⁴Fa Andriamanitra efa nanao hoe: Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12), ary koa: Izay miteny ratsy ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa (Eks. 21. 17).

⁵But *ye* say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

⁵Fa hoy kosa ianareo: Na zovy na zovy no hilaza amin'ny rainy na ny reniny hoe: Efa fanatitra ho an'Andriamanitra izay rehetra tokony hahazoanao soa avy amiko, dia tsy mba hanaja ny rainy akory izy.

⁶and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.

⁶Koa dia foananareo ny tenin'Andriamanitra noho ny fampianarana voatolotra anareo.

⁷Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

⁷Ry mpihatsaravelatsihy, marina ny naminanian'Isaia anareo hoe:

⁸This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

⁸Ity firenena ity manaja Ahy amin'ny molony; Fa ny fony kosa lavitra Ahy.

⁹but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.

⁹Koa foana ny ivavahan'ireo amiko, raha mampianatra ny didin'olombelona ho fampianarana izy (Isa. 29. 13).

¹⁰And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

¹⁰Ary niantso ny vahoaka hankeo aminy Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa ka mahafantara:

¹¹Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

¹¹tsy izay miditra amin'ny vava no mahaloto ny olona; fa izay mivoaka avy amin'ny vava, izany no mahaloto ny olona.

¹²Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

¹²Dia nankeo aminy ny mpianatra ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa tafintohina ny Fariseo, raha nandre izany teny izany?

¹³But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

¹³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ny zavatra rehetra izay tsy nambolen'ny Raiko Izay any an-danitra dia hongotana.

¹⁴Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

¹⁴Avelao izy; mpitarika jamba izy; ary raha ny jamba no mitarika ny jamba, dia samy ho latsaka any an-kady izy roa.

¹⁵And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

¹⁵Ary Petera namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazao aminay ny hevitr'izany fanoharana izany.

¹⁶But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?

¹⁶Ary hoy Jesosy: Hianareo koa va mbola tsy mahafantatra ihany?

¹⁷Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?

¹⁷Tsy fantatrareo va fa izay rehetra miditra amin'ny vava dia mankao an-kibo ka avoaka ao amin'ny fivoahana?

¹⁸but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

¹⁸Fa izay mivoaka avy amin'ny vava kosa dia avy amin'ny fo, ka izany no mahaloto ny olona.

¹⁹For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

¹⁹Fa avy amin'ny fo no ivoahan'ny sain-dratsy, dia ny vonoan'olona, ny fakam-badin'olona, ny fijangajangana, ny halatra, ny ampanga lainga, ny fitenenan-dratsy;[Gr. blasfemia, izahao 9. 3]

²⁰these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

²⁰izany no mahaloto ny olona; fa ny mihinana amin'ny tanana tsy misasa tsy mba mahaloto ny olona.

²¹And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

²¹Dia niala teo Jesosy ka nankany amin'ny fari-tanin'i Tyro sy Sidona.

²²and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

²²Ary, indro, nisy vehivavy Kananita anankiray nivoaka avy tamin'izany tany izany ka niantso nanao hoe: Mamindrà fo amiko, Tompoko, Zanak'i Davida ô! ny zanako-vavy ampahorin'ny demonia loatra.

²³But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

²³Fa Izy tsy namaly teny azy. dia nanatona ny mpianany ka nangataka taminy nanao hoe: Roahy izy, fa miantso mafy ato aoriantsika.

²⁴But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

²⁴Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy nirahina Aho afa-tsy ho amin'ny ondry very amin'ny taranak'isiraely.

²⁵But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

²⁵Fa nanatona ihany ravehivavy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Tompoko ô, vonjeo aho.

²⁶But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

²⁶Fa Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy mety raha maka ny mofon-jaza ka manipy azy ho an'ny amboakely.

²⁷But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

²⁷Fa hoy ravehivavy: Marina izany, Tompoko; fa na dia ny amboakely aza mba mihinana izay sombintsombiny latsaka avy amin'ny latabatry ny tompony ihany.

²⁸Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from *that* hour.

²⁸Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ravehivavy, lehibe ny finoanao; tongava aminao araka izay irinao. Dia sitrana ny zananivavy tamin'izay ora izay.

²⁹And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

²⁹Ary raha niala teo Jesosy, dia nankany amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Izy; ary niakatra nankeo an-tendrombohitra Izy ka nipetraka teo;

³⁰and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:

³⁰ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nankeo aminy nitondra ny mandringa, ny jamba, ny moana, ny kilemaina, ary ny maro hafa koa, ka nametraka azy teo akaikin'ny tongotr'i Jesosy; dia nahasitrana azy Izy;

³¹so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹ka dia talanjona ny vahoaka, raha nahita ny moana miteny, ny kilemaina sitrana, ny mandringa afaka, ary ny jamba mahiratra; dia nankalaza an'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely izy.

³²But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

³²Ary Jesosy niantso ny mpianany hankeo aminy ka nanao hoe: Mahonena Ahy ny vahoaka, fa efa nitoetra hateloana tatỳ amiko izy izao ka tsy manan-kohanina; ary tsy tiako ny hampody azy tsy mihinana, fandrao reraka eny an-dalana izy.

³³And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?

³³Fa hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Aiza no hahitanay mofo atỳ an-efitra ampy hahavoky izao vahoaka betsaka izao!

³⁴And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

³⁴Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Misy mofo firy any aminareo? Ary hoy izy: Fito sy hazandrano madinika vitsy foana.

³⁵And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;

³⁵Ary Izy nandidy ny vahoaka betsaka hipetraka amin'ny tany.

³⁶and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

³⁶Dia nandray ny mofo fito mbamin'ny hazandrano Izy, ary rehefa nisaotra, dia namaky ka nanolotra azy ho an'ny mpianatra, ary ny mpianatra kosa nanolotra ho an'ny vahoaka.

³⁷And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

³⁷Ary nihinana avokoa izy rehetra, ka dia voky; ary nangoniny ny sombintsombiny sisa tsy lany, ka dia nahafeno sobiky fito.

³⁸but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁸Ary izay nihinana dia efatra arivo lahy, afa-tsy ny zaza amim-behivavy.Ary nony efa nampody ny vahoaka Izy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely ka nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Magadana.

³⁹And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.

³⁹Ary nony efa nampody ny vahoaka Izy, dia niondrana an-tsambokely ka nankany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Magadana.
