¹And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

¹Ary raha nanakaiky an'i Jerosalema izy ka tonga tao Betifaga any an-tendrombohitra Oliva, dia naniraka mpianatra roa lahy Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe:

²saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.

²Mankanesa amin'iroa vohitra tandrifinareo iroa, ary miaraka amin'izay dia hahita boriky mifatotra sy ny zanany eo aminy ianareo; vahao izy, dia ento etỳ amiko.

³And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.

³Ary raha misy miteny anareo, dia lazao hoe: Misy raharaha analan'ny Tompo azy; ary dia havelany ho entina miaraka amin'izay izy.

⁴But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁴Izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe:

⁵Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁵Lazao amin'i Ziona zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky, Dia zanaky ny boriky miasa (Zak. 9. 9).[Gr. mitondra zioga]

⁶But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,

⁶Ary dia nandeha ny mpianatra ka nanao araka izay nandidian'i Jesosy azy,

⁷brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.

⁷dia nentiny ny boriky sy ny zanany ary nataony teo amboniny ny lambany, ary Jesosy dia nitaingina azy.

⁸But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.

⁸Ary ny ankabiazan'ny vahoaka dia namelatra ny lambany teny an-dalana; ary ny sasany nanapaka rantsan-kazo, dia nahahany teny an-dalana koa izany.

⁹And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.

⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nialoha Azy sy izay nanaraka dia niantso hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah! Hosana any amin'ny avo indrindra (Sal. 118. 26).[Hosana = vonjeo re!]

¹⁰And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?

¹⁰Ary nony efa tafiditra tany Jerosalema Izy, dia nihorakoraka ny tanàna rehetra ka nanao hoe: Iza moa izao?

¹¹And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹¹Ary ny vahoaka nilaza hoe: Izao no Jesosy mpaminany Izay avy any Nazareta any Galilia.

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.

¹²Ary Jesosy niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempolin'Andriamanitra, dia nandroaka izay rehetra nivarotra sy nividy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka nanjera ny latabatry ny mpanakalo vola sy ny fipetrahan'ny mpivarotra ny voromailala;

¹³And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

¹³dia hoy Izy taminy: Efa voasoratra hoe: Ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana (Isa. lvi. 7); fa ianareo kosa manao azy ho zohy fieren'ny jiolahy (Jer. 7. 11).

¹⁴And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁴Ary nisy jamba sy mandringa nanatona Azy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, dia nahasitrana azy Izy.

¹⁵And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,

¹⁵Fa nony hitan'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny mpanora-dalàna ny zavatra mahagaga izay nataony sy ny ankizy madinika miantso eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka manao hoe: Hosana ho an'ny Zanak'i Davida! - dia tezitra izy

¹⁶and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

¹⁶ka nanao taminy hoe: Renao va izay lazain'ireo? Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Eny; tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny manao hoe: Avy amin'ny vavan'ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono no nanamboaranao fiderana (Sal. 8. 2)?

¹⁷And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.

¹⁷Dia nandao azy Izy ka niala tao an-tanàna hankany Betania; ary dia nitoetra tao mandritra ny alina Izy.

¹⁸But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.

¹⁸Ary nony niverina maraina hankany an-tanàna Izy, dia noana.

¹⁹And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up.

¹⁹Ary nahita hazo aviavy anankiray teo amoron-dalana Izy, dia nankeo aminy, kanjo tsy nahita na inona na inona teo aminy, afa-tsy ravina ihany; dia hoy Izy taminy: Aza misy voa avy aminao intsony mandrakizay. Dia maina vetivety foana ilay hazo aviavy.[aviavimbazaha]

²⁰And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!

²⁰Ary nony hitan'ny mpianatra izany, dia gaga izy ka nanao hoe: Nanao ahoana re no dia nahamaina vetivety io aviavy io?

²¹And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.

²¹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Raha manam-pinoana ianareo ka tsy miahanahana, dia tsy izao natao tamin'ny aviavy izao ihany no ho vitanareo, fa raha hiteny amin'ity tendrombohitra ity aza ianareo ka hanao hoe: Mifindrà ianao, ka mianjerà any an-dranomasina, dia ho tonga izany.

²²And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²²Ary na inona na inona no angatahinareo amin'ny fivavahana atao amin'ny finoana dia ho azonareo.

²³And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²³Ary rehefa tafiditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra, dia nanatona Azy ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona ka nanao hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana no anaovanao izao? Ary iza no nanome Anao izao fahefana izao?

²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, *I* also will tell you by what authority I do these things:

²⁴Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho kosa hanontany anareo zavatra iray loha, ary raha hovalianareo izany, Izaho kosa dia hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany:

²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

²⁵Ny batisan'i Jaona, avy taiza moa izany? Avy tany an-danitra va, sa avy tamin'ny olona? Ary izy ireo niara-nisaina ka nanao hoe: Raha holazaintsika hoe mantsy: Avy tany an-danitra, dia hovaliany hoe isika: Ka nahoana no tsy nino azy ianareo?[Na:nieritreritra]

²⁶but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

²⁶Ary raha holazaintsika hoe kosa: Avy tamin'ny olona, dia matahotra ny vahoaka isika, satria ataon'izy rehetra ho mpaminany Jaona.

²⁷And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. *He* also said to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷Dia namaly an'i Jesosy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy fantatray. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho kosa tsy hilaza aminareo izay fahefana anaovako izany.

²⁸But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.

²⁸Fa ahoana kosa no hevitrareo? Nisy lehilahy nanana zanaka roa lahy; dia nankeo amin'ny lahimatoa izy ka nanao hoe: Anaka, andeha miasa any amin'ny tanim-boaloboko anio.

²⁹And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.

²⁹Fa namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy handeha aho; nefa nony afaka izany, dia nanenina izy ka nandeha ihany.

³⁰And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, *I* [go], sir, and went not.

³⁰Dia nankeo amin'ny faralahy izy ka niteny toy izany koa. Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Handeha aho, tompoko; kanjo tsy nandeha izy.

³¹Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³¹Ka iza moa amin'izy mirahalahy no nanao ny sitrapon'ny rainy? Hoy izy: Ny lahimatoa. Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga efa mialoha anareo ho amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

³²For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but *ye* when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.

³²Fa Jaona nankany aminareo tamin'ny lalan'ny fahamarinana, nefa tsy nino azy ianareo; fa ny mpamory hetra sy ny vehivavy janga no nino azy; fa ianareo kosa, na dia efa nahita izany aza, dia mbola tsy nanenina mba hinoanareo azy.

³³Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

³³Mihainoa fanoharana hafa koa: Nisy lehilahy tompon-trano nanao tanim-boaloboka, dia namefy azy manodidina dia nihady famiazana teo anatiny, dia nanao tilikambo, ary dia nahofany tamin'olona mpiasa tany izany, ka nandeha ho any amin'ny tany hafa izy.

³⁴But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

³⁴Ary rehefa mby akaiky ny taom-pahavokarana, dia naniraka ny mpanompony izy hankany amin'ny mpiasa tany handray ny vokatra.

³⁵And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵Fa ny mpiasa tany nisambotra ny mpanompony, ka ny anankiray nokapohiny, ary ny anankiray novonoiny, ary ny anankiray notorahany vato.

³⁶Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.

³⁶Dia naniraka mpanompo hafa koa indray izy, maro noho ny teo; fa nataony toy izany koa ireny.

³⁷And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.

³⁷Ary nony farany dia naniraka ny zanany hankany aminy izy ka nanao hoe: Hanaja ny zanako izy.

³⁸But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.

³⁸Kanjo ny mpiasa tany, nony nahita ny zanaka, dia niresaka hoe: Ity no mpandova; andeha hovonointsika izy, dia ho lasantsika ny lovany.

³⁹And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

³⁹Ary nisambotra azy izy ka namoaka azy teo ivelan'ny tanim-boaloboka, dia namono azy.

⁴⁰When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?

⁴⁰Koa raha tonga ny tompon'ny tanim-boaloboka, hataony ahoana moa izany mpiasa tany izany?

⁴¹They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹Hoy izy taminy: Hataony loza tokoa ny handringanany izany olon-doza izany, ary ny tanim-boaloboka dia hahofany amin'ny mpiasa tany sasany izay hanome azy ny vokatra amin'ny fotoany avy.

⁴²Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

⁴²Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny ao amin'ny Soratra Masina hoe: Ny vato izay nolavin'ny mpanao trano, Dia izy no efa natao fehizoro; Avy tamin'i Jehovah izao Ka mahagaga eo imasontsika? (Sal. 118. 22-23).

⁴³Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

⁴³Ary noho izany dia lazaiko aminareo hoe: Hesorina aminareo ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra ka homena izay firenena mahavokatra ny voany.

⁴⁴And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

⁴⁴Ary izay potraka amin'ity vato ity dia ho torotoro, fa na zovy na zovy no hianjerany, dia ho mongomongo.[Gr. haely toy ny vovoka]

⁴⁵And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.

⁴⁵Ary rehefa ren'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo ny fanoharana nataon'i Jesosy, dia fantany fa ny tenany no nolazainy amin'izany.Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.

⁴⁶And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.

⁴⁶Dia nitady hisambotra Azy izy, saingy natahotra ny vahoaka, satria nataon'ny vahoaka ho mpaminany Jesosy.
