¹Ary rehefa henemana no sisa tsy tonga ny Paska, Jesosy dia tonga tao Betania, izay nitoeran'i Lazarosy, ilay natsangany tamin'ny maty.

¹Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;

²Dia nanao fanasana ho an'i Jesosy tao izy; ary Marta no nanompo; fa Lazarosy no anankiray tamin'izay niara-nipetraka nihinana taminy.

²they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

³Ary Maria, rehefa naka menaka manitra nisy narda sady tsara no saro-bidy, lanjan'iray livatra, dia nanosotra ny tongotr'i Jesosy sy namaoka ny tongony tamin'ny volondohany; ary feno ny hanitry ny menaka ny trano.

³Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

⁴Ary hoy Jodasy Iskariota, anankiray tamin'ny mpianany, ilay efa hamadika Azy:

⁴Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —

⁵Nahoana io menaka io no tsy namidy denaria telon-jato ka nomena ny malahelo?

⁵`Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?`

⁶Ary izy no nilaza izany, tsy noho ny fiahiany ny malahelo, fa satria mpangalatra izy sady nitondra ny kitapo ka naka izay tao anatiny.

⁶and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

⁷Dia hoy Jesosy: Avelao izy, mba hotehiriziny ho amin'ny andro hanamboarany Ahy halevina io.

⁷Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

⁸Fa ny malahelo dia etỳ aminareo mandrakariva; fa Izaho tsy mba ho etỳ aminareo mandrakariva.

⁸for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.`

⁹Ary ny vahoaka betsaka tamin'ny Jiosy nahalala fa teo Izy, dia tonga teo, nefa tsy noho Jesosy ihany, fa mba hahita an'i Lazarosy koa, ilay natsangany tamin'ny maty.

⁹A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

¹⁰Fa nihendry hahafaty an'i Lazarosy koa ny lohan'ny mpisorona,

¹⁰and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

¹¹satria izy no nialan'ny maro tamin'ny Jiosy ka ninoany an'i Jesosy.

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

¹²Ary nony ampitson'iny ny vahoaka betsaka, izay tonga ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana, rehefa nahare fa hankany Jerosalema Jesosy,

¹²On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,

¹³dia naka sampan-drofia ka nivoaka hitsena Azy sady niantso hoe: Hosana! Isaorana anie ny Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, Ilay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah (Sal. 118, 26).

¹³took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;`

¹⁴Ary Jesosy nahita zana-boriky anankiray, dia nitaingina azy, araka ny voasoratra hoe:

¹⁴and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

¹⁵Aza matahotra, ry Ziona zanakavavy; indro, avy ny Mpanjakanao mitaingina zana-boriky (Zak. 9. 9).

¹⁵`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass` colt.`

¹⁶Izany zavatra izany dia tsy fantatry ny mpianany tamin'ny voalohany; fa rehefa niditra tamin'ny voninahiny Jesosy, dia vao nahatsiaro izy fa voasoratra hilaza Azy izany zavatra izany, ary efa nataony taminy izany.

¹⁶And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

¹⁷Ary nanambara Azy ny vahoaka izay teny aminy, fony Izy niantso an'i Lazarosy hivoaka tamin'ny fasana ka nanangana azy tamin'ny maty.

¹⁷The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

¹⁸Ary izany koa no nitsenan'ny vahoaka Azy, satria efa reny fa nanao izany famantarana izany Izy.

¹⁸because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

¹⁹Ary tamin'izany ny Fariseo dia nifampilaza hoe: Hitanareo fa tsy mahefa na inona na inona akory ianareo; indro, efa lasa manaraka Azy avokoa izao tontolo izao.

¹⁹the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.`

²⁰Ary nisy Grika sasany tamin'izay niakatra hivavaka tamin'ny andro firavoravoana,

²⁰And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

²¹ary izy ireo nankany amin'i Filipo avy any Betsaida any Galilia, dia nangataka taminy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, mba ta-hahita an'i Jesosy izahay.

²¹these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;`

²²Dia lasa Filipo nilaza tamin'i Andrea; ary Andrea sy Filipo lasa nilaza tamin'i Jesosy.

²²Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

²³Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Tonga ny fotoana hankalazana ny Zanak'olona.

²³And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

²⁴Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha tsy latsaka ao amin'ny tany ny voambary ka maty, dia mitoetra foana izy; fa raha maty kosa izy, dia hahavokatra be.

²⁴verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

²⁵Izay tia ny ainy no mahavery izany; fa izay mankahala ny ainy amin'izao fiainana izao no hiaro izany ho amin'ny fiainana mandrakizay.

²⁵he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it;

²⁶Raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia aoka izy hanaraka Ahy, ary izay itoerako, dia ao koa no hitoeran'ny mpanompoko; raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia hankalaza azy ny Ray.

²⁶if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.

²⁷Ankehitriny mangorohoro ny fanahiko; ary ahoana no holazaiko: Ray ô, vonjeo Aho ho afaka amin'ity ora ity? nefa izao no nihaviako ho amin'ity ora ity;

²⁷`Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;

²⁸Ray ô, mankalazà ny anaranao. Dia nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Efa nankalaza azy Aho, ary hankalaza azy indray.

²⁸Father, glorify Thy name.` There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];`

²⁹Ary ny vahoaka izay nitsangana teo ka nahare dia nanao hoe: Kotrokorana izany. Hoy ny sasany: Anjely no niteny taminy.

²⁹the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.`

³⁰Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy noho Izaho no nahatongavan'izany feo izany, fa noho ianareo.

³⁰Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

³¹Tonga ankehitriny ny fitsarana izao tontolo izao; ankehitriny ny andrianan'izao tontolo izao no horoahina.

³¹now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

³²Ary Izaho, raha asandratra hiala amin'ny tany, dia hitaona ny olona rehetra hanatona Ahy.

³²and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.`

³³Izany no nolazainy hanambara izay fahafatesana efa hiaretany.

³³And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

³⁴Dia namaly Azy ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Efa renay tamin'ny lalàna fa Kristy haharitra mandrakizay; koa ahoana no ilazanao hoe: Tsy maintsy hasandratra ny Zanak'olona? Iza moa izany Zanak'olona izany?

³⁴the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?`

³⁵Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mbola kely ihany no hitoeran'ny mazava aminareo. Mandehana, raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, mba tsy hahatratra anareo ny maizina; fa izay mandeha amin'ny maizina dia tsy mahalala izay alehany.

³⁵Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

³⁶Raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, dia minoa ny mazava, mba ho tonga zanaky ny mazava. Rehefa nilaza izany Jesosy, dia niala Izy ka niery azy.

³⁶while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.` These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

³⁷Nefa na dia efa nanao izany famantarana betsaka izany teo anatrehany aza Izy, dia tsy mba nino Azy ireo,

³⁷yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

³⁸mba hahatanteraka ny teny nataon'Isaia mpaminany hoe: Tompoko, iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay? Ary iza no nampisehoana ny sandrin'i Jehovah? (Isa. 53. 1.)

³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?`

³⁹Izany no tsy nahaizany nino, satria hoy koa Isaia:

³⁹Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

⁴⁰Efa nanajamba ny masony sy nanamafy ny fony Izy, Mba tsy hahita ny masony, na hahalala ny fony, Dia tsy hibebaka izy, Ka tsy hahasitrana azy Aho (Isa. 6. 10).

⁴⁰`He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;`

⁴¹Izany teny izany no nolazain'Isaia, satria nahita ny voninahiny izy ka nilaza Azy.

⁴¹these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

⁴²Kanefa maro tamin'ny mpanapaka aza no nino Azy; nefa noho ny Fariseo dia tsy nanaiky ireo, fandrao havoaka hiala amin'ny synagoga.

⁴²Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

⁴³Fa tia ny voninahitra avy amin'ny olona izy ireo, fa tsy ny voninahitra avy amin'Andriamanitra.

⁴³for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴Ary Jesosy niantso ka nanao hoe: Izay mino Ahy, dia tsy Izaho no inoany, fa Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴⁴And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

⁴⁵Ary izay mahita Ahy dia mahita Izay naniraka Ahy.

⁴⁵and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

⁴⁶Izaho tonga amin'izao tontolo izao ho fahazavana, mba tsy hitoetra ao amin'ny maizina izay rehetra mino Ahy.

⁴⁶I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;

⁴⁷Ary raha misy mandre ny teniko ka tsy mitandrina, Izaho tsy mitsara azy; fa tsy tonga hitsara izao tontolo izao Aho, fa hamonjy izao tontolo izao.

⁴⁷and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

⁴⁸Izay manda Ahy ka tsy mandray ny teniko, dia manana izay mitsara azy: ny teny izay nolazaiko, izany ihany no hitsara azy amin'ny andro farany,

⁴⁸`He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

⁴⁹satria Izaho tsy niteny ho Ahy, fa ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy, Izy no nandidy Ahy izay holazaiko sy izay hotoriko.Ary fantatro fa fiainana mandrakizay ny didiny; koa izay lazaiko dia lazaiko araka izay nolazain'ny Ray tamiko.

⁴⁹because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

⁵⁰Ary fantatro fa fiainana mandrakizay ny didiny; koa izay lazaiko dia lazaiko araka izay nolazain'ny Ray tamiko.

⁵⁰and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.`
