¹Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:

¹Ary Jesosy dia nentin'ny Fanahy nankany an-efitra, mba halain'ny devoly fanahy.[Devoly = mpiampanga, na mpanendrikendrika]

²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.

²Ary nifady hanina efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina Izy, koa nony afaka izany, dia noana.

³And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.

³Dia nanatona ny mpaka fanahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, dia teneno ho tonga mofo ireto vato ireto.

⁴But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.

⁴Fa Izy kosa namaly ka nanao hoe: Voasoratra hoe: Tsy mofo ihany no hiveloman'ny olona, fa ny teny rehetra izay aloaky ny vavan'Andriamanitra (Deo. 8. 3).

⁵Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,

⁵Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy nankany amin'ny tanàna masina ka nampitoetra Azy teo an-tampon ny tempoly,

⁶and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

⁶dia nanao taminy hoe: Raha Zanak'Andriamanitra Hianao, mianjerà any ambany any; fa voasoratra hoe: Izy handidy ny anjeliny ny aminao; Ary eny an-tànany no hitondran'ireo Anao, fandrao ho tafintohina amin'ny vato ny tongotrao (Sal. 91. 11, 12).

⁷Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

⁷Hoy Jesosy taminy: Voasoratra hoe koa: Aza maka fanahy an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao (Deo. 6. 16).

⁸Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

⁸Ary ny devoly nitondra Azy Indray nankany an-tendrombohitra avo dia avo ka naneho Azy ny fanjakana rehetra amin'izao tontolo izao mbamin'ny voninahiny,

⁹and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

⁹dia nanao taminy hoe: Izao rehetra izao dia homeko Anao, raha hiankohoka eto anatrehako Hianao.

¹⁰Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

¹⁰Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ry Satana: fa voasoratra hoe; Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hiankohofanao, ary Izy irery ihany no hotompoinao (Deo. 6. 13).

¹¹Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

¹¹Dia nandao Azy ny devoly, ary indreo, nisy anjely tonga ka nanompo Azy.

¹²But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:

¹²Ary nony ren'i Jesosy fa efa voasambotra Jaona, dia lasa nankany Galilia Izy.

¹³and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,

¹³Ary nony niala tany Nazareta Izy, dia nankany Kapernaomy, izay ao amoron-dranomasina, ao amin'ny zara-tanin'ny Zebolona sy ny Naftaly, ka nonina tao Izy,

¹⁴that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁴mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina an'Isaia mpaminany hoe:

¹⁵Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:

¹⁵Ny tanin'ny Zebolona sy ny tanin'ny Naftaly, Ao amin'ny tany amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin'i Jordana, Galilia, tanin'ny jentilisa,

¹⁶-- the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.

¹⁶Ny olona izay nitoetra tao amin'ny maizina dia nahita mazava lehibe; Ary izay nitoetra tao amin'ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no niposahan'ny fahazavana (Isa. 8. 23; 9. 1).

¹⁷From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

¹⁷Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nanomboka nitori-teny Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Mibebaha ianareo, fa efa akaiky ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

¹⁸And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;

¹⁸Ary nony nitsangantsangana teny amoron'ny Ranomasin'i Galilia Jesosy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy, dia Simona, izay atao hoe Petera, sy Andrea rahalahiny, nanarato teny amin'ny ranomasina; fa mpanarato izy.

¹⁹and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

¹⁹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha hanaraka Ahy, fa hataoko mpanarato olona ianareo.

²⁰And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.

²⁰Dia nandao ny harato niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

²¹And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;

²¹Ary raha mbola nandroso Izy, dia nahita olona mirahalahy hafa koa, dia Jakoba zanak'i Zebedio, sy Jaona rahalahiny, izay niara-nipetraka tamin'i Zebedio rainy teo an-tsambokely ka namboatra ny haratony; ary niantso azy mirahalahy Izy.

²²and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.

²²Dia nandao ny sambokely sy ny rainy niaraka tamin'izay izy ka nanaraka Azy.

²³And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

²³Ary Jesosy nandeha eran'i Galilia ka nampianatra tao amin'ny synagogan'ny olona teo sy nitory ny filazantsaran'ny fanjakana ary nahasitrana ny aretina rehetra mbamin'ny rofy rehetra tamin'ny olona.

²⁴And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

²⁴Ary niely eran'i Syria ny lazany, ka dia nentin'ny olona tany aminy ny marary rehetra, izay azon'ny aretina maro samy hafa sy ny fangirifiriana, dia ny demoniaka sy izay mararin'ny androbe ary ny mararin'ny paralysisa, ka nahasitrana ireny Izy.[Demoniaka = olona nidiran'ny demonia; izahao Mat.7.22]Dia nanaraka Azy ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Galilia sy Dekapolisy sy Jerosalema sy Jodia ary ny avy tany an-dafin'i Jordana.

²⁵And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.

²⁵Dia nanaraka Azy ny vahoaka betsaka avy tany Galilia sy Dekapolisy sy Jerosalema sy Jodia ary ny avy tany an-dafin'i Jordana.
